Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without waiting. During acceleration change up early.
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
s
traight away.
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
t
emperature in the passenger compartment down (sunroof and window
b
linds...).
To
save energy, do not set the air conditioning at too low a temperature.
As
soon as the desired temperature has been reached, limit the use of
t
he air conditioning, except if regulation is automatic.
Switch
off the demisting and defrosting controls as soon as you consider
p
ossible.
Switch
off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Switch
off the headlamps and foglamp when the level of light does not
r
equire 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.
With
an
electronic
gearbox,
do
not
press
the
accelerator
pedal
heavily
o
r
s
uddenly.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather t han the brake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. These
p
ractices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and
CO2 emissions and also help 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.
