Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest
items in the bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the
rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resis-
tance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a
roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refi t your sum-
mer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to
the label in the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
- before a long journey,
- at each change of season,
- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or
caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil fi lter,
air fi lter, passenger compartment fi lter...) and observe the
schedule of operations recommended in the warranty and
maintenance record.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the
nozzle to avoid any overfl ow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the fi rst
1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel
c onsumption settle down to a consistent average.
