Other tips
– Do not warm up the engine with the
car stopped: in these conditions the
engine heats up much more slowly
and increases fuel consumption and
emissions. It is much better to move
off slowly, avoiding high engine
speeds.
– As soon as traffic conditions and the
route permit it, use a higher gear.
–Avoid pressing the accelerator
repeatedly when stopped at traffic
lights or before turning off the
engine.
– Keep your speed as even as possible,
avoiding unnecessary braking and
accelerations, which cause fuel
wastage and markedly increases
exhaust emissions.
–Turn the engine off when stopping
for long periods of time.
– Check tire pressure regularly: if the
pressure is too low, fuel
consumption increases and the tires
are damaged.
– Do not transport unnecessary objects
left in the luggage compartment.
The weight of the vehicle affects fuel
consumption considerably.
– Use the electrical devices only for the
time necessary. The power required
increases fuel consumption.
