Brake as little as possible. If you an-

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (5/5)
-
In vehicles fitted with air condi-

increase in fuel consumption (es-
pecially in urban conditions) when
it is used. For vehicles fitted with
manual air conditioning, switch off
the system when it is not required.
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.

first), keep your lights on when the
visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).
- Use the air vents. Driving with the

will increase fuel consumption by
4%.
- Never fill the fuel tank right to the
