SAVING FUEL
GENERAL INFORMATION
The general factors that affect fuel
consumption are listed below.
Vehicle maintenance
Tyres
Unnecessary loads
Roof rack/ski rack
Electric devices
Climate control system
Devices for aerodynamic control
DRIVING STYLE
The main driving styles that affect fuel
consumption are listed below.
Starting
Do not warm up the engine at low or
high revs when the vehicle is stationary;
this causes the engine to warm up
more slowly, thereby increasing fuel
consumption and emissions.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid accelerating when stopped at
traffic lights or before switching off the
engine.Gear selection
In the same way improper use of a high
gear increases consumption, emissions
and engine wear.
Top speed
Fuel consumption increases
considerably with speed.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently will greatly affect
consumption and emissions:
acceleration should be gradual.
CONDITIONS OF USE
The main usage conditions that
negatively affect fuel consumption are
listed below.
Cold starting
Short journeys and frequent cold starts
do not allow the engine to reach
optimum operating temperature.
Traffic and road conditions
Rather high consumption levels are
linked to situations with heavy traffic, for
instance when travelling in queues
with frequent use of the lower gears or
in cities with many traffic lights. Winding
mountain roads and rough road
surfaces also adversely affect
consumption.Stops in traffic
During prolonged hold-ups (e.g. level
crossings) the engine should be
switched off.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the tables below are determined on the basis of the type-approval tests laid down by
specific European Directives.
These consumption values refer to basic vehicles without optionals.
The following procedures are used to measure the fuel consumption:
urban cycle: begins with cold starting, followed by driving simulating the use of the vehicle in town;
extra-urban cycle: driving that simulates using the vehicle out of town with frequent acceleration in all gears; the speed
varies from 0 to 120 km/h;
combined fuel consumption: calculated with a weighting of approximately 37% of the urban cycle and 63% of the
extra-urban cycle.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic situations, weather conditions, driving style, general conditions of the vehicle, trim
level/equipment/accessories, climate control system, vehicle load, roof rack, other situations that affect aerodynamics or air
drag may lead to different fuel consumption levels than those measured.
