Avoid d d riving a a t m m aximum s s peed
Try not to drive at maximum speed. The
increase of fuel consumption, exhaust
pollution and noise is disproportionate at
high speeds.
The illustration shows the relation
between consumption (l/100 km) and
speed (km/h).
If only about 3 quarters of top speed is
utilized, the fuel consumption will be
reduced by about half.

TIPS AND MAINTENANCE
Suggestion 4 4
Decrease i i dling
It is worth switching off
traffic jams, at railroad crossings and at
traffic lights with a long red light. The sav-
ings in fuel after 30-40 seconds with the
engine switched off is higher than the fuel
used to switch the engine on again.
Suggestion 5 5
Periodic r r evisions
Your fuel savings are guaranteed even
before going on a trip with the periodic
revisions by your Technical Service Centre.
The maintenance of the engine is not only
a safety and maintenance issue but also a
fuel consumption issue.
Poor fine tuning of the engine may
increase fuel consumption by up to 10%.
Check the oil level every time you fill up.
The oil consumption depends largely on
the engine load. Depending on the dri-
ving style, the oil consumption can be up
to 1.0 l/1000 km.
Another suggestion: You can also lower
oil consumption by using synthetic oils.
