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   CO
2
emissions
 
and
 
also
 
help
 
reduce
 
the
 
background
 
traffic
 
noise.
If
 
your
 
vehicle
 
has
 
cruise
 
control,
 
make
 
use
 
of
 
the
 
system
 
at
 
speeds
 
a

bove
 
25
 
mph
 
(40

Electronic stability control (ESC)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and manoeuvrability   of   your   vehicle   when   braking  
a

nd   contributes   towards   improved   control   on  
c

orners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The
  ABS   prevents   wheel   lock   in   the   event   of  
em

ergency
 b
raking.
The
  EBFD   manages   the   braking   pressure  
w

heel   by   wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to reach   the   optimum   braking   pressure   more  
q

uickly   and   therefore   reduce   the   stopping  
di

stance.
It
  is   triggered   according   to   the   speed   at   which  
t

he   brake   pedal   is   pressed.   This   is   felt   by   a  
r

eduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase
  in   the   effectiveness   of   the   braking.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Traction Control)   optimises   traction   in   order   to   limit  
w

heel   slip   by   acting   on   the   brakes   of   the   driving  
w

heels   and   on   the   engine.   It   also   improves  
t

he directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed   by   the   vehicle   and   that   required   by  
t

he   driver,   the   DSC   monitors   each   wheel   and  
a

utomatically   acts   on   the   brake   of   one   or   more  
w

heels   and   on   the   engine   to   return   the   vehicle  
t

o   the   required   path,   within   the   limits   of   the   laws  
o

f   physics.
