Environmental note
CO (carbon dioxide) is the gas which scien-
2
tists believe to be principally responsible for
global warming (the greenhouse effect). Your
vehicle's CO emissions are directly related
2
to fuel consumption and therefore depend on:
efficient use of the fuel by the engine
R
driving style
R
other non-technical factors, such as envi-
R
ronmental influences or road conditions
You can minimise your vehicle's CO
sions by driving carefully and having it serv-
iced regularly.
