Eco-Driving - CITROEN Berlingo Electric Handbook

ECO-DRIVING

Practical advice
Adopt a gentle driving style
the electrical consumption of your
vehicle depends very strongly on the
route you take, you style of driving and
your speed.
In all cases, adopt a gentle driving
style.
Try to say in the " Optimum " zone
of the energy consumption and
generation indicator: press the
accelerator pedal progressively,
without sudden movements and if the
conditions allow, try to drive at a steady
and moderate speed.
Recover energy
Driving with anticipation allows you to
recover energy and increase the range
of the vehicle.
Anticipate when you have to slow
down and, if the conditions allow, try to
use deceleration rather than braking,
which will place the needle of the
energy consumption and generation
indicator in the " Charge " zone.
Limit the causes of excess
consumption
As with any vehicle, limit the load
being carried and keep aerodynamic
resistance to a minimum (windows
open above 30 mph (50 km/h), roof
bars, roof box, ...).
Excessive use of the air conditioning
and heating, particularly at low speed,
can reduce the range of your vehicle
considerably. Try to optimise their use.
Observe the servicing and
maintenance recommendations
Check the tyre pressures regularly
and follow the schedule of servicing
operations recommended by the
manufacturer.
