Fuel consumption is accredited in
accordance with a standard regulatory
method. Identical for all manufacturers,
this enables vehicles to be compared
with one another.
Consumption in real time depends on
vehicle usage conditions, the
equipment fitted and the user's driving
style. To optimise fuel consumption,
please refer to the following advice.
Depending on the vehicle, there may
be different functions available to help
you reduce your fuel consumption:
– the rev counter;
– the gear change indicator;
– the Stop and Start function (refer to
the information on the "Stop and Start
function" in Section 2).
If fitted on the vehicle, the navigation
system provides additional information.
Gear change indicator 1
To obtain optimum consumption levels,
in manual mode a warning light on the
instrument panel lets you know the
best time to move up or down a gear:
shift up a gear;
downshift a gear.
Driving advice and ECO driving
Behaviour
– Drive carefully until the engine
reaches its normal operating
temperature, rather than let it warm up
while the vehicle is stationary.
– High speeds significantly affect the
vehicle's fuel consumption.
Examples (at a steady speed):
– reducing the speed from
approximately 80 mph (130 km/h) to
68 mph (110 km/h) saves up to around
20% of fuel;
– reducing the speed from
approximately 56 mph (90 km/h) to 50
mph (80 km/h) saves up to around
10% of fuel.
