Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without waiting. During   acceleration   change   up   early.
With
  an   automatic   or   electronic   gearbox,   give   preference   to   automatic  
m

ode   and   avoid   pressing   the   accelerator   pedal   heavily   or   suddenly.
Control the use of your electrical
equipment
Before moving off, 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
 ope

n.
Remember
 

to
 
make
 
use
 
of
 
equipment
 
that
 
can
 
help
 
keep
 
the temperature
 i

n   the   passenger   compartment   down   (sunroof   and   window   blinds...).
Switch
  off   the   air   conditioning,   unless   it   has   automatic   regulation,
 a

s soon   as   the   desired   temperature   is   attained.
Switch
  off   the   demisting   and   defrosting   controls,   if   not   automatic.
Switch
  off   the   heated   seat   as   soon   as   possible.
Switch
  off   the   headlamps   and   front   foglamps   when   the   level   of   light  
d

oes   not   require   their   use.
Avoid
  running   the   engine   before   moving   off,   particularly   in   winter;   your  
v

ehicle   will   warm   up   much   faster   while   driving.
As
  a   passenger,   if   you   avoid   connecting   your   multimedia   devices  
(

film,   music,   video   game...),   you   will   contribute   towards   limiting   the  
c

onsumption   of   electrical   energy,   and   so   of   fuel.
Disconnect
  your   portable   devices   before   leaving   the   vehicle.
Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather than   the   brake   pedal,   and   press   the   accelerator   progressively.   These  
p

ractices   contribute   towards   a   reduction   in   fuel   consumption   and  
C
o
2 emissions and also helps reduce the background traffic noise.
I
f
 
your   vehicle   has   cruise   control,   make   use   of   the   system   at   speeds  
a

bove   25   mph   (40   km/h)   when   the   traffic   is   flowing   well.
The
  gear   efficiency   indicator   invites   you   engage   the   most   suitable   gear:  
a

s
 
soon   as   the   indication   is   displayed   in   the   instrument   panel,   follow   it

Lane departure warning system
System which, using a camera which recognises   solid   or   broken   lines,   detects   the  
i

nvoluntary   crossing   of   longitudinal   traffic   lane  
m

arkings   on   the   ground.
To
  provide   safe   driving,   the   camera   analyses  
t

he   image   then,   if   the   driver's   attention   drops,  
t

riggers   a   warning   if   the   vehicle   drifts   over  
a

  lane   marking   (speed   higher   than   50   mph  
(

80 km/h)).
This
  system   is   particularly   useful   on   motor ways
