or emit chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer and birth
defects and reproductive harm. In
addition, certain fluids contained in
vehicles and certain products of
component wear contain or emit
chemicals known to the State of

Other tips

– Do not warm up the engine with the
car stopped: in these conditions the
engine heats up much more slowly
and increases fuel consumption and
emissions. It is much better to move
off slowly, avoiding high engine
speeds.
– As soon as traffic conditions and the
route permit it, use a higher gear.
– Avoid pressing the accelerator
repeatedly when stopped at traffic
lights or before turning off the
engine.
– Keep your speed as even as possible,
avoiding unnecessary braking and
accelerations, which cause excess
fuel consumption and markedly
increases exhaust emissions.
– Turn the engine off when stopping
for long periods of time.
– Check tire pressure regularly: if the
pressure is too low, fuel
consumption increases and the tires
are damaged.
– Do not transport unnecessary objects
left in the luggage compartment.
The weight of the vehicle affects fuel
consumption considerably.
– Use the car's electrical devices only
for the time necessary. The power
required increases fuel consumption.
