Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions.
Adapted to your Hybrid4 vehicle
Use gear selector position A
, as this optimises gear changes to suit the circumstances, and
the AUTO
mode of the Hybrid4 mode selector.
When moving off, accelerate normally up to the desired speed ( POWER
zone between 20
and 40 %).
At steady speeds, drive gently with small movements of the accelerator pedal ( ECO
or
CHARGE
zone), to allow running in electric mode when driving at low speed.
Anticipate the need to slow down and use engine braking ( CHARGE
zone), so as to make
use of the recovery of "free" energy, while maintaining light pressure on the accelerator
pedal.
For information on other eco-driving practices, refer to the corresponding section of the
handbook for the vehicle.
