How to drive for best fuel efficiency in city driving :
Engage ECO mode
Don't use ventilation if not needed
Prefer seat warmer if possible
Only use AC if needed
Don't put air blow too strong
Don't put air temperature too high or too low
Go quickly to the required road speed limit by going to the end of the ECO bar
Try to stay between the CHARGE line and first half of the ECO bar to engage EV mode.
Try not go over the ECO bar (PWR mode).
Try not to deplete the battery by voluntarily using the manual EV mode for too long.
Try to anticipate road traffic (ex : slightly press the brake pedal in order to regen instead of pressing too hard, engaging the brakes)
Prefer coasting or gliding (by staying in first half of ECO) than big accelerations and brutal braking.
Avoid turning the engine on and off too often.
Make the required car services on time.
Don't use big rims.
Use fuel efficiency friendly tires.
Always check tires are well inflated.
Don't keep unneeded heavy or non aerodynamic stuff in or on the car.
