ECO-DRIVING
Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items
in the bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the
rear
seats.
Limit
the
loads
carried
in
the
vehicle
and
reduce
wind
resis
-
tance
(roof
bars,
roof
rack,
bicycle
carrier
,
trailer
...).
Use
a
roof
box in preference.
Remove
roof bars and roof racks after use.
At
the
end
of
winter
,
remove
snow
tyres
and
refit
your
sum
-
mer
tyres.
Observe the recommendations on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly , when cold, referring to the
label in the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry
out this check in particular:
-
before
a long journey,
-
at
each change of season,
-
after
a long period out of use.
Don't
forget
the
spare
wheel
and
the
tyres
on
any
trailer

your
vehicle
serviced
regularly
(engine

and
observe
the schedule
of

is
faulty
your
vehicle
becomes
polluting;
go
to
a

a

delay
to
have
the
emissions
of
nitrous
oxides brought back to the legal level.

of
your

it
is
only
after
the
first

that
you
will
see
the
fuel
consumption
settle down to a consistent average.
