BehaviourRather than heat the engine while
stopped, we advise you to drive
moderately until the engine reaches its
normal operating temperature.
Speed increases fuel consumption.
Do not strain the engine by
exceeding speed in intermediary gears.
Use the highest gear.
Avoid sudden acceleration.
Brake as little as possible. By
assessing the danger or curve in
advance, it will be sufficient to lift your
foot off the accelerator.
When going uphill, we advise you to
keep a steady speed, without having to
change it.
In modern vehicles, double clutching
before stopping the engine is not
necessary and could even cause
damage.Tyres fig. 221
Pressure too low can increase fuel
consumption.
Using unsuitable tyres can increase
fuel consumption.
Advice for use
Favour the ECOMODE function.
Electricity increases fuel
consumption. We advise you to turn off
accessories when they are not in use.
You must use your lights according to
the laws in effect in the country you are
in.
Use diffusers as much as possible.
Driving at 100 km/h with the windows
open increases fuel consumption by
4% fig. 222.
For vehicles with climate control, fuel
consumption is increased (especially in
cities) when in use. For vehicles with
manual climate control, turn off the
system when you no longer need it.Some advice for reducing fuel
consumption and thus helping
safeguard the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in high
temperatures or in the sun, open up the
doors to let out the hot air before
leaving.
Do not leave the roof rack mounted if
not in use.
When transporting particularly large
objects, use a trailer if possible.
To tow a camper, use an approved
deflector and do not forget to adjust it.
Avoid "door to door" use of the
vehicle (short trips with prolonged
stops) because the engine never
reaches its ideal temperature.
