Eco-driving
Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO
2
emissions.
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and
change up without waiting. While accelerating,
change up early.
With an automatic gearbox, favour automatic
mode, without 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 gradually.
These practices contribute towards
a reduction in fuel consumption and
CO
2
emissions and also help to reduce the
background traffic noise.
Favour the use of the "Eco" driving mode by
selecting it using the "Drive Mode" control.
If your vehicle has the steering-mounted
"CRUISE" control, make use of cruise control
at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the
traffic is flowing well.

equipment
Unless it has automatic regulation, switch off
the air conditioning as soon as the desired
temperature has been reached.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting
controls, if these are not automatically
managed.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as
possible.
Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps
when the visibility conditions do not require
their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up
much faster while driving.
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 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.
As a
passenger, avoid connecting your
multimedia devices (film, music, video game,
etc.) to contribute towards reducing the
consumption of electrical energy, and so of
fuel.
Disconnect all 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.
With an automatic gearbox, this indicator
appears only in manual mode.
