– Avoid using the vehicle for door-
to-door calls (short journeys with
long waits in between) because the
engine never reaches its normal op
-
erating temperature.
Tyres
– An underinflated tyre increases fuel
consumption.
– The use of non-recommended tyres
can increase fuel consumption.
– In vehicles with air conditioning, it
is normal to observe an increase in
fuel consumption (especially in urban
conditions) when it is used. For vehi
-
cles fitted with manual air condition
-
ing, switch off the system when it is
not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and therefore helping to preserve
the environment:
Drive with the air vents open and the
windows closed.
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.
– Never fill the fuel tank to the brim to
avoid overflow.
– Do not leave an empty roof rack
fitted to the vehicle.
– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob
-
jects.
Advice on use
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the
electrical components which are
not really needed. However (safety
first), keep your lights on when the
visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).
– Use the air vents. Driving with the
windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption
by 4%.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it carefully.
