STARTING AND DRIVING
DRIVING STYLE
Cranking
Do not warm up the engine at low or high revs when the
car is stationary: under these conditions the engine warms
up much more slowly, increasing consumption and emis-
sions. It is therefore advisable to move off immediately,
slowly, avoiding high speeds: in this way the engine will
warm up more quickly.
Unnecessary actions
Av oid revving up when at traffic lights or before stopping
the engine. The latter action, like double-declutching, is
completely unnecessary and causes increased fuel con-
sumption and pollution.Gear selection
As soon as the conditions of the traffic and road permit,
use a higher gear. Using a low gear for faster accelera-
tion will increase consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high gear increases con-
sumption, emissions and engine wear.
Max. speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases as speed in-
creases. Maintain a constant speed, avoiding unnecessary
braking and acceleration, which cost in terms of both fu-
el consumption and emissions.Acceleration
Accelerating violently will greatly affect consumption and
emiss
ions: acceleration should be gradual.
CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short journeys and frequent cold starts do not allow the
engine to reach optimum operating temperature. This re-
sults in a significant increase in consumption levels (from
+15 to +30% on the urban cycle) and emissions.
Traffic and road conditions
Rather high fuel consumption is caused by heavy traffic,
for instance when travelling in a queue with frequent use
of low gears or in large towns with many traffic lights.
Mountain and rough roads also have a negative effect on
fuel consumption.
Stops in traffic
During prolonged stops (e.g.
level crossings) the engine
should be switched off.
