ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving
Exhaust gas monitoring
system
This system detects operating faults
in the vehicle's antipollution system.
These faults may cause mechanical
damage or release of harmful sub-
stances.
Ä
This warning light on the in-
strument panel indicates if
there are any faults in the system:
This comes ON when the ignition is
switched ON and goes OFF once the
engine starts.
– If it comes ON continuously while
engine is in running condition, con-
sult an approved dealer. If it flashes,
reduce the engine speed until the
light stops flashing. Contact an ap-
proved dealer as soon as possible.
– Do not try to maintain the same
speed up a hill, accelerate no more
than you would on the level. Keep
your foot in the same position on the
accelerator pedal.
(3/3)
– Poor weather conditions, flooded
roads. Do not drive through water if it
is higher than the lower edge of the
wheel rim.
– Avoid using the vehicle for door-to-
door journeys (short journeys, with
long stops in-between) because in
these conditions, the engine never
reaches its ideal temperature.
Tyres
Increased fuel consumption could be
the result of:
– insufficient pressure.
– using non-recommended tyres.
Advice on use
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the
electrical components which are not
really needed.
However (safety first), keep your
lights on when the visibility is bad
("see and be seen").
– Driving with the windows open at
around 100 km/h will increase fuel
consumption.
