DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (3/3)
Tyres
–  An underinflated tyre increases fuel consumption.
–  The use of non-recommended tyres  can increase fuel consumption.Advice on use
–  Electricity is fuel; switch off all the electrical components which are 
not really needed.  However (safety 
first), keep your lights on when the 
visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).
–  Use the air vents. Driving with the  windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h) 
will increase fuel consumption by 
4%.
–  Never fill the fuel tank right to the  brim to avoid overflow. – 
In vehicles fitted with air condi-
tioning,  it is normal to observe an 
increase in fuel consumption (espe-
cially in urban conditions) when it is 
used. For vehicles fitted with manual 
air conditioning, switch off the system 
when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption 
and therefore helping  to  preserve 
the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in the 
sun, open the doors for a few mo-
ments to let the hot air escape before 
starting the engine.
– Do not leave an empty roof rack  fitted to the vehicle.
–  It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob- jects.
–  When towing a caravan, fit a wind  deflector and adjust it carefully.
–  Avoid using the car for door-to-door  calls (short journeys with long waits 
in between) because the engine 
never reaches its normal operating 
temperature.
