Optimise the use of your gearbox
Withamanualgearbox,moveoffgentlyandchangeupwithoutwaiting.
Duringaccelerationchangeupearly.
Withanautomaticorelectronicgearbox,givepreferencetoautomatic

straightaway.
Forvehiclesfittedwithanelectronicorautomaticgearbox,this
indicatorappearsonlyinmanualmode.
Drive smoothly
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CO
2
emissionsandalsohelpsreducethebackgroundtrafficnoise.
Control the use of your electrical
equipment
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.
Asapassenger,ifyouavoidconnectingyourmultimediadevices
