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,

change up without waiting and drive by

changing up quite soon. If your vehicle has opening the windows and air vents before

compartment is too warm, ventilate it by

Avoid running the engine before moving

off, particularly in winter; your vehicle will

warm up much faster while driving.

you to change up; it is displayed in the

using the air conditioning.

Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows

and leave the air vents open.

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.

Remember to make use of equipment

that can help keep the temperature in the

passenger compartment down (sunroof and

window blinds...).

Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has

automatic digital regulation, as soon as the

desired temperature is attained.

Disconnect your portable devices before

leaving the vehicle.

Drive smoothly

Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,

use engine braking rather than the

progressively. These practices contribute

towards a reduction in fuel consumption

and CO₂emissions and also helps reduce

the background traffic noise.

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.

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.

Observe the recommendations on

maintenance

Limit the causes of excess

consumption

Spread loads throughout the vehicle;

place the heaviest items in the bottom of

the boot, as close as possible to the rear

seats.

Check the tyre pressures regularly, when

cold, referring to the label in the door

aperture, driver's side.

When refuelling, do not continue after

the 3^rdcut-off of the nozzle to avoid any

overflow.

Carry out this check in particular:

Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and

reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof

rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof

box in preference.

-

before a long journey,

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.

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.

Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.

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.
