FUEL SAVINGS
Here are some useful tips to save fuel and minimise harm-
ful emissions of CO
2and other pollutants (nitric oxides,
unburnt hydrocarbons, fine dusts etc…).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance
with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Ty r e s
Check the pressure of the tyres routinely at an interval
of no more than 4 weeks: if the pressure is too low, con-
sumption levels increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight of the
car (especially when driving in town) and its ride greatly
affects consumption and stability.Accessories installed on longitudinal bars
Remove accessories like: roof racks, ski racks, luggage
container, etc. from the roof if they are no longer used.
These accessories lower air penetration and adversely af-
fect consumption levels. When transporting particularly
large objects, use a trailer if possible.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount of time needed.
The heated rear window, additional headlights, wind-
screen wipers and heater fan need a considerable amount
of energy, therefore a higher requirement of current in-
volves an increase of fuel consumption (up to +25%
in the urban cycle).
Climate control system
Air conditioning leads to higher fuel consumption (on av-
erage up to +20%). If the temperature outside permits,
try and use the air vents.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified aerodynamic items may ad-
versely affect air drag and fuel consumption levels.

STARTING AND DRIVING187
Keep your speed down when snow chains are
fitted. Do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid pot-
holes, steps and pavements and also avoid
driving long distances on roads not covered with
snow in order to prevent damaging the car and the
roadbed.
SNOW CHAINS
The use of snow chains should be in compliance with lo-
cal regulations.
The snow chains may be applied only onto the front
wheel tyres (drive wheels).
Check the tension of the snow chains after the first few
metres have been driven.
IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space-
saver spare wheel. So, if a front (drive) wheel is punc-
tured and chains are needed, a rear wheel should be fit-
ted to the front of the car and the space-saving spare
wheel should be fitted to the rear. This way with two nor-
mal drive wheels, snow chains can be fitted to them to
solve an emergency.
CAR INACTIVITY
If the car is to be left inactive for longer than a month,
the following precautions should be followed:
❍park the car in a covered, dry and, if possible, well-
ventilated place;
❍engage a gear;
❍check that the handbrake is not engaged;
❍disconnect the negative battery terminal (for versions
with Start&Stop system refer to the paragraph
“Start&Stop system” in chapter “1”);
❍clean and protect the painted parts of the vehicle with
protective wax;
❍clean and protect the shiny metal parts using special
compounds commercially available;
❍sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber windscreen and
rear window wiper blades and lift them off the glass;
❍open the windows slightly;
❍cover the car with a fabric or perforated plastic sheet.
Do not use sheets of non-perforated plastic as they
do not allow moisture on the car body to evaporate;
❍inflate tyres to a pressure of +0.5 bar above the nor-
mal specified pressure and check regularly;
❍do not drain the engine cooling system.
