Behaviour
Do not drive through water
if it is higher than the lower
edge of the wheel rim.
Drive carefully until the engine
reaches its normal operating tem-
perature, rather than let it warm up
while the vehicle is stationary;
–
High speeds significantly affect the
vehicle's fuel consumption;
Examples (at a steady speed):
–
reducing the speed from 130
km/h (80 mph) to 110 km/h (68
mph) approximately saves up
to 20% of fuel approximately;
–
reducing the speed from 90
km/h (56 mph) to 80 km/h (50
mph) approximately saves up
to 10% of fuel approximately.
–
Dynamic driving involving heavy
and frequent acceleration and brak-
ing is expensive on fuel in compari-
son to the time saved;
–
Do not over rev the engine in the in-
termediate gears. You should al-
ways use the highest gear possible;
–
Avoid sudden acceleration;
–
Brake as little as possible. If you an-
ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-
vance, you may then simply release
the accelerator pedal;
–
Do not try to maintain the same
speed up a hill, accelerate no more
than you would on level ground.
Keep your foot in the same position
on the accelerator pedal;
–
Double declutching and accelerat-
ing before switching off the engine
are unnecessary in modern vehi-
cles;
–
On versions with an sequential
gearbox, it is preferable to keep the
gear lever in position
