recommended pressure indicated on

– The use of non-recommended tyres
can increase fuel consumption.
Advice on use
– Favour the ECO mode.
– Electricityisfuel–switchoffallthe
electrical components when they are
not genuinely needed. However (safe-
ty first), keep your lights on when the
visibility is bad ("see and be seen").
– Use the air vents. Driving with the
windows open at 62 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by 4%.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the
brim to avoid overflow.
– On vehicles equipped with non-
automatic air conditioning, switch off
the air conditioning when it is not re-
quired.
Advice for reducing consumption
and helping to preserve the environ-
ment:
– 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.
– Do not leave an empty roof rack fit-
ted to the vehicle.
– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob-
jects.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it carefully.
– Avoid using the vehicle for "door-to-
door" calls (short journeys with long
waits in between) because in such
conditions the engine never reaches
its optimal operating temperature.
