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 off gently and change up without waiting. During acceleration change up early.
With
an automatic gearbox, give preference to automatic mode and
a
void 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 accelerator progressively. These
p
ractices 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
a
bove
25
mph
(40
km/h)
when
the
traffic
is
flowing
well.
Control the use of your electrical
equipment
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it b y 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...).
Switch
off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic regulation, as
s
oon 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
The gear shift indicator invites you engage the most suitable gear: as soon as the indication is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it
s
traight away.
For
vehicles fitted with an automatic gearbox, this indicator appears
o
nly in manual mode.
