DRIVING ADVICE, ECO DRIVING
Tyres
– An underinflated tyre increases fuel
consumption.
– To optimise fuel consumption, set the
highest speed tyre pressure or the
recommended pressure indicated on
the edge of the driver's door ➥ 4.11.
– The use of non-recommended tyres
can increase fuel consumption.
(8/8)
Advice on use
– Favour the ECO mode.
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the
electrical components which are
not really needed. However (safety
first), keep your lights on when the
visibility is bad ("see and be seen").
– Use the air vents. Driving with the
windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the
brim to avoid overflow.
– On vehicles equipped with non-au-
tomatic air conditioning, switch off
the air conditioning when it is not re-
quired.
Advice for reducing consumption
and therefore helping to preserve
the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few mo-
ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.
– Do not leave an empty roof rack
fitted to the vehicle.
– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob-
jects.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it carefully.
– Avoid using the car for door-to-door
calls (short journeys with long waits
in between) because the engine
never reaches its normal operating
temperature.
