Suggestion 9. Save electricity
The alternator generates electricity while driving. The more
electricity is used, the higher the fuel consumption.
The heated rear window, extra lights, the heater fan and air
conditioning* use a large amount of energy. The heated rear
window creates a consumption of approx. one liter for every 10
hours.
For this reason, disconnect electrical consumers as soon as they
are no longer needed. The alternator generates electricity when the
K
engine is running.
Suggestion 10. Written check-up
If you wish to reduce fuel consumption keep a trip book. It is not
much work and is worth while since it allows you to detect possible
consumption variations (positive or negative) on time and
intervene, if necessary. If you detect an increase in consumption
you should examine the driving conditions since the last filling.

What do you need to bear in mind when towing a trailer?
The vehicle is designed mainly to carry people and luggage.
However it may also be used to tow a trailer, as long as you fit it
with the technically appropriate equipment and you do not
exceed the maximum authorised weights
chapter.
Towing a trailer not only demands more from the car, but from the
driver too.
You should therefore strictly adhere to the service and running-in
instructions on the following pages.

• If the trailer to be towed has a 7-pin plug, an adapter cable can
be used which may be obtained in any Technical Service Centre.
Installation of a towing bracket at a later stage should be carried
out according to the instructions of the towing bracket
manufacturer.
