ADVICE ON EMISSION CONTROL, FUEL ECONOMY AND DRIVING
General advice
- Electricity is fuel: switch off all
electrical components when you
no longer need them.
However (safety first), keep your
lights on when the visibility is bad
(see and be seen).
- Use the air vents. Driving at 60 mph
(100 km/h) with the windows open
will increase fuel consumption by
4%.

- In air conditioned vehicles, it is
normal to observe an increase in
fuel consumption (especially in
city conditions) when it is used.
Switch off the air conditioning
when it is not required on vehicles
fitted with manual
conditioning.
Some advice for
consumption and therefore helping
to preserve the environment:
- it is advisable to drive with the vents
open and the windows closed.
- If the vehicle has been parked in
the sun, open the doors for a few
moments to let the hot air escape
before starting the engine.
- Never fill the fuel tank right to the
brim to avoid overflow.
- Do not leave an empty roof rack
fitted to the vehicle.
- It is better to fit a trailer for bulky
objects.
- 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.
Tyres
- Inadequate pressures may increase
fuel consumption.
- The use of non-recommended tyres
can increase fuel consumption.
