Familiarisation

Eco-driving

Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO₂emissions.

Optimise the use of your gearbox

Control the use of your electrical

equipment

With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without waiting.

During acceleration change up early.

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

open.

Remember to make use of equipment that can help keep the

temperature in the passenger compartment down (sunroof and window

blinds...).

With an automatic or electronic gearbox, give preference to automatic

mode and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.

The gear shift indicator invites you to change up: as soon as the

indication to change up is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it

straight away.

With an electronic or automatic gearbox, this indicator appears only in

manual mode.

Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic digital regulation,

as soon as the desired temperature is attained.

Switch off the demisting and defrosting controls, if not automatic.

Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.

Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps when the level of light

does not require their use.

Drive smoothly

Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather

than the brake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. These

practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO₂

emissions and also helps reduce the background traffic noise.

Avoid running the engine before moving off, particularly in winter; your

vehicle 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

consumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.

If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds

above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well.

Disconnect your portable devices before leaving the vehicle.

24

Familiarisation

.

Limit the causes of excess consumption

Observe the recommendations on

maintenance

Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the

bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.

Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof

bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference.

Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.

Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in

the door aperture, 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.

Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.

At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.

Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) and

observe the schedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.

When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to

avoid any overflow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles

(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to

a consistent average.
