2021 TOYOTA PROACE VERSO fuel consumption

Eco-driving
Eco-driving refers to a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise the vehicle's energy consumption (fuel and/or electricity) and CO2 emissions.
Optimise your use of the gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up promptly. While accelerating, change up early.With an automatic gearbox, favour automatic mode. Do not depress the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.The gear shift indicator prompts you to engage the most suitable gear. Whenever this indication is displayed on the instrument panel, follow it straight away.With an automatic gearbox, this indicator appears only in manual mode.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather than the brake pedal and
press the accelerator gradually. These practices help to save on energy consumption, reduce CO2 emissions and decrease general traffic noise.When the traffic is flowing smoothly, select the cruise control.
Control the use of 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.At speeds above 31 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 (e.g. sunroof blind, window blinds).Unless automatically regulated, switch off the air conditioning as soon as the desired temperature has been reached.Switch off the demisting and defrosting functions, if they are not managed automatically.Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.Adapt the use of headlamps and/or foglamps depending on visibility conditions.Avoid running the engine before moving off, particularly in winter (other than in severe wintry conditions: temperature below -23°C). The vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.As a passenger, avoid connecting your multimedia devices (e.g. film, music, video
game) to help reduce the consumption of energy.Disconnect all portable devices before leaving the vehicle.
Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle. Place the heaviest items in the boot as close as possible to the rear seats.Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and minimise wind resistance (e.g. roof bars, roof
rack, bicycle carrier, trailer). Preferably, use a roof box.Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit summer tyres.
Comply with the servicing instructions
Check tyre pressures regularly, with the tyres cold, referring to the label in the door aperture on the driver's side.Carry out this check in particular:– before a long journey.– at each change of season.– after a long period out of use.Do not forget the spare wheel and, where applicable, the tyres on your trailer or caravan.Have your vehicle serviced regularly (e.g. engine oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment filter, etc.). Observe the schedule of operations in the manufacturer's service schedule.With a Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty, your vehicle will emit pollution. Check with any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as possible to restore your vehicle's nitrogen oxide emissions to legal levels.When filling the fuel tank, do not continue after the third cut-out of the nozzle, to avoid overflow.You will only see the fuel consumption of your new vehicle settle down to a consistent average after the first 1,900 miles (3,000 kilometres).

Definitions
Range
(km or miles)Distance that can still be travelled with the fuel remaining in the tank (based on the average fuel consumption over the last few miles (kilometres) travelled).
NOTIC E
This value may vary following a change in the driving style or terrain, resulting in a significant change in the spot fuel consumption.
When the range falls below 30 km (19 miles), dashes are displayed.After filling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is displayed if it exceeds 100 km (62 miles).
WARNI NG
If dashes instead of figures continue to be displayed when driving, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Current consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)(miles/kWh or kWh/100 km or km/kWh) (Electric) / Calculated during the last few seconds.This function is only displayed at speeds above 19 mph (30 km/h) (Diesel).
Average consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)(miles/kWh or kWh/100 km or km/kWh) (Electric) / Calculated since the last trip computer reset.
Average speed
(km/h or mph)Calculated since the last trip computer reset.
Distance travelled
(km or miles)Calculated since the last trip computer reset.
Stop & Start time counter
(minutes/seconds or hours/minutes)
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start, a time counter calculates the time spent in STOP mode during a journey.It resets to zero every time the ignition is switched on.

NOTIC E
As a safety precaution and to facilitate engine starting:– always select neutral,– depress the clutch pedal.
Gear efficiency indicator
(Depending on engine.)This system helps reduce fuel consumption by recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and the vehicle's equipment, the system may advise to skip one or more gears.Gear shift recommendations should not be considered compulsory. In fact, the road layout, the traffic density and safety remain the deciding factors when choosing the best gear. The driver therefore remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow the indications issued by the system.This function cannot be deactivated.On certain Diesel versions with manual gearbox, the system may suggest changing into neutral (N is displayed in the instrument panel) so that the engine can go into standby (STOP mode with Stop & Start), in certain driving conditions.
NOTIC E
With an automatic gearbox, the system is only active in manual operation.
The information appears in the instrument panel, in the form of an ascending or descending arrow and the recommended gear.
NOTIC E
The system adapts its gear shift recommendation according to the driving conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the driver’s requirements (request for power, acceleration, braking, etc.).The system never suggests:– engaging first gear.– engaging reverse.
Automatic gearbox
Automatic 6 or 8-speed gearbox, with electronic management of gear changes. It also offers a manual mode with sequential gear changes via control paddles located behind the steering wheel.

Eco
Optimises energy consumption, by reducing the output of the heating and air conditioning (without actually deactivating them) and limiting both motor torque and power.
Power
Provides equivalent vehicle performance when fully laden (GVW) to when the vehicle is in Normal mode and when unladen.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start function puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during phases when the vehicle is stopped (red lights, queues, etc.). The engine restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as the driver wishes to move off again.Primarily designed for urban use, the function is intended to reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
The function does not affect the functionalities of the vehicle, in particular the braking.
WARNI NG
Driving on flooded roadsBefore entering into a flooded area, it is strongly recommended that you deactivate the Stop & Start system.For more information on Driving recommendations, particularly on flooded roads, refer to the corresponding section.
