Eco- driving
Optimise the use of your
gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently
and change up without waiting. When
accelerating, change up early.
With an automatic gearbox, favour automatic
mode and avoid 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 practices contribute
towards a reduction in fuel consumption and
CO
2 emissions and also help to reduce the
background traffic noise.
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.
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.
Consider using equipment that can help keep
the temperature in the passenger compartment
down (sunroof and window blinds, etc.).
Unless it has automatic regulation, switch off
the air conditioning as soon as the desired
temperature has been reached.
Switch off the headlamps and foglamps when
the ambient light level does not require their
use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up
much faster while driving.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting controls,
if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat control as soon as
possible.
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your
multimedia devices (film, music, video game,
etc.), you will contribute towards limiting the
consumption of electrical energy, and so of
fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before
leaving the vehicle.
The gear efficiency indicator invites you to
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 automatic gearbox,
this indicator appears only in manual mode. Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices
that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions.
