Driving advice and ECO
driving
Behaviour
– Drive carefully for the first few kilo-
metres until the engine reaches
its normal operating temperature,
rather than let it warm up while the
vehicle is stationary.
– Speed is expensive.
– Dynamic driving with a lot of frequent
acceleration and braking is expen-
sive on fuel in comparison to the time
saved.
DRIVING ADVICE, ECO DRIVING (2/3)
– Do not overrev the engine in the in-
termediate gears.
– You should always use the highest
gear possible.
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
– Brake as little as possible. If you an-
ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-
vance, you may then simply release
the accelerator pedal.
– Do not try to maintain the same
speed up a hill, accelerate no more
than you would on the level. Keep
your foot in the same position on the
accelerator pedal.
– Double declutching and accelerating
before switching off are unnecessary
in modern vehicles.
– On versions with a sequential/au-
tomatic gearbox, it is preferable to
keep the gear lever in position D.
– Bad weather, flooded roads.
– Do not drive through floods if the
water is above the lower edge of the
wheel rims.
On the driver’s side, only
use mats suitable for the
vehicle, attached with the
pre-fitted components, and
check the fitting regularly. Do not
lay one mat on top of another.
Risk of pedals jamming.
