gearbox system :

- gear lever in position A or M , when

you release the brake pedal,

- or gear lever in position N and brake

pedal released, when you change to

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

our

earbox

With a manual gearbox, move off gently,
change up without waiting and drive
by changing up quite soon. If your
vehicle has the system, the gear shift
indicator invites you to change up; it
is displayed in the instrument panel,
follow its instructions.

With an automatic or electronic gear­box, stay in Drive "D" or Auto "A" , ac-
cording to the type of gearbox, without
pressing the accelerator pedal heavily
or suddenly.

ve smoot

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 traf­fi c noise.

If your vehicle has cruise control, make
use of the system at speeds above
25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffi c is
fl owing well.

Control the use of

lectrical equipment

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
(sun roof and window blinds...).

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.

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 (fi lm, music,
video game...), you will contribute to­wards limiting the consumption of elec­trical energy, and so of fuel.

Disconnect your portable devices be­fore leaving the vehicle.

emissions.

Limit the causes of excess

onsumption

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.

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

Observe the recommendations

n maintenance

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.

Have your vehicle serviced regularly
(engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and
observe the schedule of operations
recommended by the manufacturer.

When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the fi rst 1 800 miles (3 000 kilome-
tres) that you will see the fuel consumption
settle down to a consistent average.
