The tyre pressures should always be checked
when the tyres are cold.
Do not use winter tyres all through the year; they
will increase fuel consumption by up to 10 %.
Avoid carrying unnecessary loads
Every kilo of extra weight will increase the fuel
consumption, so it is worth checking the luggage
compartment occasionally to make sure that no
unnecessary loads are being transported.
Save electrical energy
The engine drives the alternator to generate elec
tricity. This means that fuel consumption rises
when more power is required for electrical equip
ment. Switch off electrical equipment when it is
not needed. Electrical equipment which uses a
lot of electricity includes the blower (at a high
setting), the rear window heating and the seat
heating*.
Steering Adjusting the steering wheel position
The height and reach of the steering wheel can
be adjusted as required to suit the driver.
