H Environmental note
CO (carbon dioxide) is the gas which sci-
2
entists believe to be principally responsible
for global warming (the greenhouse effect).
Your vehicle's CO emissions are directly
2
related 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.
