SAVING FUELSome useful tips are given below for saving fuel and re-
ducing harmful emissions of CO
2and other pollutants (ni-
trogen oxides, unburnt hydrocarbons, Particulate Matter
(PM), 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 luggage compartment.
The weight of the car (especially when driving in town)
and its ride greatly affect consumption and stability.Accessories installed on longitudinal bars
Remove accessories like
: roof racks, ski racks, luggage con-
tainer, etc. from the roof if they are no longer used. These
accessories lower aerodynamic penetration and adverse-
ly affect consumption levels. When transporting particu-
larly large objects, use a trailer if possible.
Electric devices
Use electrical devices only for the amount of time needed.
The heated rear window, additional headlights, wind-
screen/rear window wipers and heater fan need a con-
siderable amount of energy, therefore increasing fuel con-
sumption (by up to 25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control system
Using the climate control system leads to higher fuel con-
sumption (on average up to +20%). If the temperature
outside permits, try and use the vent
ilation only.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified devices for aerodynamic control
may adversely affect air drag and consumption levels.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE
255
Windows
Use specific detergents and clean cloths to prevent scratch-
ing or altering the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the inside surface of the rear window
gently with a cloth in the direction of the filaments to avoid
damaging the heater coils.
Engine compartment
At the end of each winter, thoroughly wash the engine
compartment, taking care to avoid spraying the water jet
directly onto the electronic control units and the relay/fuse
box on the left side of the engine compartment (driving
direction). Have this operation performed at a specialised
workshop.
IMPORTANT The washing should take place with the en-
gine cold and the ign
ition key in the STOP position. After
the washing operation, make sure that the various protec-
tions (e.g. rubber caps and guards) have not been removed
or damaged.Front headlights
Use a soft cloth soaked in water and detergent for wash-
ing cars.
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g. petrol)
or ketones (e.g. acetone) for cleaning the plastic lenses of
the front headlights.
IMPORTANT When cleaning the car with a pressure wash-
er, keep the water jet at least 20 cm away from the head-
lights.
