OVERVIEW

10
RCZ_en_Chap00c_eco-conduite_ed01-2015
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
mode and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
The gear shift indicator invites you engage the most suitable gear: as
soon as the indication is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it
straight away.
For
vehicles fitted with an electronic or automatic gearbox, this
indicator appears only in manual mode.
dRIVE SMOOTHLY
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather
than the brake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. These
practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and
CO
2 emissions and also helps reduce the background traffic noise.
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
open.
Remember
to make use of equipment that can help keep the temperature
in the passenger compartment down (sunroof and window blinds...).
Switch of

f the air conditioning, unless it has automatic regulation, as 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
does
not require their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off, particularly in winter; your
vehicle 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
consumption 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.
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.

RCZ_en_Chap00c_eco-conduite_ed01-2015
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 resistance (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 summer 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 or caravan.
Have

your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter,
passenger

compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
operations recommended in the warranty and maintenance record.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-of

f of the nozzle to
avoid
any overflow.
At
the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles

(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down \
to a consistent average.
