It is normal to notice an increase in the
vehicle's fuel consumption when using
theheating(particularlywhentheout-
side temperature drops below zero) or
air conditioning.
Driver obstruction
On the driver's side, only
usematsthataresuit-
ableforthevehicle,at-
tachusingthepre-fittedcompo-
nents,andcheckthefittingsregu-
larly. Do not lay one mat on top of
another.

Tyres
– An underinflated tyre increases fuel
consumption.
– To optimise fuel consumption, set
the highest speed tyre pressure or the
recommended pressure indicated on
the edge of the driver's door 🡺346.
– The use of non-recommended tyres
can increase fuel consumption.
Advice on use
– Opt for ECO mode where possible.
– Electricityisfuel–switchoffallthe
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.
