Limit the causes of excessconsumption 
   
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; 
place the heaviest items in the bottom 
of the boot, as close as possible to the 
rear seats. 
  Limit the loads carried in the vehicle 
and reduce wind resistance (roof bars, 
roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use 
a roof box in preference. 
  Remove roof bars and roof racks after 
use.  
   
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres 
and refi t your summer tyres.  
 
Observe the recommendations on maintenance
 
 
Check the tyre pressures regularly, 
when cold, referring to the label in the 
door aperture, driver's side. 
  Carry out this check in particular: 
   
 
-   before a long journey, 
   
-   at each change of season, 
   
-   after a long period out of use.  
  Don't forget the spare wheel and the 
tyres on any trailer or caravan.     
Have your vehicle serviced regularly 
(engine oil, oil fi lter,  air fi lter...)  and 
observe the schedule of operations 
recommended by the manufacturer.  
 
 
   
When refuelling, do not continue after 
the 3 rd  cut-off of the nozzle to avoid 
any overfl ow.  
 
 
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only 
after the fi rst 1 800 miles (3 000 kilome-
tres) that you will see the fuel consumption 
settle down to a consistent average.
