Eco-driving is a  range  of  everyday  practices  that  allow  the  motorist  to  optimise  their  fuel  consumption  and  CO2 emissions.
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual  gearbox,  move  of f  gently  and  change  up  without
  waiting.   During   acceleration   change   up   early.
With
 
an
 
automatic
 
or
 
electronic
 
gearbox,
 
give
 
preference
 
to
 
automatic

 
mode
 
and
 
avoid
 
pressing
 
the
 
accelerator
 
pedal
 
heavily

  or   suddenly.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a  safe  distance  between  vehicles,  use  engine  braking
 rather  than  the  brake  pedal,  and  press  the  accel -
erator
 
progressively
.  
These
 
practices
 
contribute
 
towards
 
a
 
reduction

  in   fuel   consumption   and   CO
2 emissions and also helps
 
reduce
 
the
 
background
 
traffic
 
noise.
If
 
your

 
vehicle

 
has

 
cruise

 
control,

 
make

 
use
 
of
 
the
 
system
 
at speeds

 
above

 
25

 
mph

 
(40

 
km/h)

 
when

 
the
 
traffic
 
is
 
flowing well.
Control the use of your electrical equipment
Before moving  of f,  if  the  passenger  compartment  is  too  warm,
 ventilate  it  by  opening  the  windows  and  air  vents  
before

  using   the   air   conditioning.
Above
 
30
 
mph
 
(50
 
km/h),
 
close
 
the
 
windows
 
and
 
leave
 
the
 
air

  vents   open.
Remember
 
to
 
make
 
use
 
of
 
equipment
 
that
 
can
 
help
 
keep
 
the

 
temperature
 
in
 
the
 
passenger
 
compartment

  and   window   blinds...).

Switch
  off   the   heated   seat   as   soon   as   possible.
Switch
 
of
f  
the
 
headlamps
 
and
 
front
 
foglamps
 
when
 
the
 
level of

  light   does   not   require   their   use.
Avoid
 
running
 
the
 
engine
 
before
 
moving
 
of
f,  
particularly
 
in
 
winter;

 
your
 
vehicle
 
will
 
warm
 
up
 
much
 
faster
 
while
 
driving.
As

 
a
 
passenger
,  
if
 
you
 
avoid
 
connecting
 
your
 
multimedia
 
devices

 
(film,
 
music,
