Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
use engine braking rather than the
rake pedal, and press the accelerator
rogressively. These practices contribute
towards a reduction in fuel consumption and
emissions and also helps reduce the
background traffic noise.
Before moving off, if the passenger
ompartment is too warm, ventilate it b
opening the windows and air vents before using
the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows
nd leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment that can

ompartment down (sun blinds, ...).
Switch off the air conditioning as soon as the
desired temperature is attained.

Switch off the headlamps and the foglamp when
the level of light does not require their use.
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
our multimedia devices (film, music, video
ame...), you will contribute towards limitin
the consumption of electrical energy, and so

Carry out this check in particular:

Don't forget the spare wheel.
When refuelling, do not continue after the 3

At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is onl
after the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres)

At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and
