Tips for ecoconscious driving

Start the engine without stepping on the gas.
Accelerate quickly (in the lower RPM range with the accelerator pedal fully depressed).
Shift gears in good time. You should shift to a higher gear at 2500 revolutions per second at the latest.
Drive in the highest possible gear.
Drive in a forward-looking way in order to reduce breaking. Breaking always amounts to an energy loss.
Apply the break before shifting down. This way, the engine’s overrun shutoff is active for longer.
Turn off the engine when stopping.
Regularly check the tyre inflation pressure (twice a month; please follow the instructions in the vehicle manual). Low tyre inflation pressure means a higher rolling resistance that leads to energy loss.
Make sure that you do not carry unnecessary excess load. For example, remove roof racks and ski racks if you do not use them.
