- For lower fuel consumption, activate Eco drive mode.
- Use the Eco Coast freewheel function in Eco drive mode - engine braking ceases, meaning that the car's kinetic energy is used to freewheel for longer distances.
- Drive in the highest gear1 possible, adapted to the current traffic situation and road - lower engine speeds result in lower fuel consumption. Use the gear shift indicator.
- Drive at a steady speed and keep a good distance to other vehicles and objects to minimise braking.
- High speed results in increased fuel consumption - the wind resistance increases with speed.
- Drive with the correct air pressure in the tyres and check this regularly - select ECO tyre pressure for best results.
- Choice of tyres can affect fuel consumption - seek advice on suitable tyres from a retailer.
- Remove unnecessary items from the car - the greater the load the higher the consumption.
- Use engine braking to slow down, when it can take place without risk to other road users.
- A roof load and space box increase wind resistance, leading to higher consumption - remove the load carriers when not in use.
- Avoid driving with open windows.
Warning
Never switch off the engine while moving, such as downhill, this deactivates important systems such as the power steering and brake servo.
