PURER DRIVING PLEASURE

reduce fuel consumption, carbon dioxide emissions and other air
pollution. This reduces your impact on the environment, as well as
reducing the cost of your fuel consumption. You can influence
some factors yourself, but not others. Here is some advice.

•
contribute to increased fuel consumption.
Drive economically by means of the following:

•
efficient driving.
Avoid letting the engine idle – switch off the engine when sta-
•
tionary for longer periods.
Drive at a steady speed and keep a good distance to other vehi-
•
cles and objects to minimise braking.
Drive with the correct tyre pressure in the tyres and check them
•
on a regular basis. Select ECO tyre pressure for best results.
Avoid driving with the windows open.

Factors you cannot influence
