Peugeot 207 2012-2014 Eco-Driving

18ECO-DRIVING Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emis-sions. Optimise the use of your gearbox With a manual gearbox, move off gen-tly, 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 gear-box, stay in Drive "D" or Auto "A" , ac-cording to the type of gearbox, without pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly. Drive smoothly Maintain a safe distance between ve-hicles, use engine braking rather than the brake pedal, and press the accel-erator progressively. These practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions and also helps reduce the background traf-fi 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 your electrical equipment Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it by opening the windows and air vents be-fore using the air conditioning. Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the win-dows 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 at-tained. 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 fo-glamps when the level of light does not require their use. Avoid running the engine before mov-ing off, particularly in winter; your ve-hicle will warm up much faster while driving. As a passenger, if you avoid connect-ing your multimedia devices (fi lm, mu-sic, video game...), you will contribute towards limiting the consumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel. Disconnect your portable devices be-fore leaving the vehicle.
19 Limit the causes of excess consumption 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 on 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 ob-serve the schedule of operations rec-ommended 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 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to a consistent average.
