Driver obstruction
On the driver’s side, only
use mats suitable for the
vehicle, attached with
the pre-fitted components, and
check the fitting regularly. Do not
lay one mat on top of another.
There is a risk of wedging the
pedals.
Heating levels
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.
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 🡺 129;
– The use of non-recommended tyres
can increase fuel consumption.
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 100 km/h (62 mph)
will increase fuel consumption by 4%
approximately;
– 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.
