Climate control system
The climate control system is an ad-
ditional load which greatly effects the
engine leading to higher(up to +20%
in average) fuel consumption. When
the temperature outside allows, use
the air vents where possible.
Spoilers
The use of optional extras, which are
not certified for specific use on the car,
may reduce the aerodynamic pene-
tration of the car and increase con-
sumption.
DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine when the
car is stationary or at high or low revs:
in this way the engine will warm up
gradually increasing consumption and
emissions. You should drive off slow-
ly straight away avoiding high revs so
that the engine will warm up more
quickly.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving the engine when
stopped at traffic lights or before
switching off the engine and avoid
doubling the clutch as these actions
serve no purpose in modern cars and
only increase consumption and pollu-
tion.
Gear selections
As soon as the traffic and road con-
ditions allow it, shift to a higher gear.
Using a lower gear to liven up accel-
eration greatly increases consumption.
In the same way, improper use of the
higher gears will increase consump-
tion, emissions and wear and tear on
the engine.
Top speed
Fuel consumption increases consid-
erably as speed increases. For exam-
ple, when accelerating from 90 to 120
km/h, fuel consumption increases up
to approximately +30%. Your speed should be kept as even
as possible and superfluous braking
and acceleration avoided as this in-
creases both consumption and emis-
sions. A “smooth” driving style should
be adopted by attempting to anticipate
manoeuvres to avoid imminent danger
and to keep a safe distance from the
vehicle in front to avoid braking
sharply.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently increasing the
revs will greatly effect consumption
and emission; acceleration should be
gradual and not exceed the maximum
torque.
CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Very short distances and frequent
cold starting will not enable the engine
to reach optimal running temperature.
It follows, therefore, that consumption
will be higher (from +15 to +30% in
towns) as will the production of toxic
emissions.

10)Fit the wheel cup in order that
the biggest hole
A-fig. 8is aligned with
the bolt fixing the wheel. When fitting
the wheel cup make sure that the sym-
bol
Y, printed on the internal part of
the cup, is aligned with the inflation
valve.
11)Fit the last three bolts and tight-
en them using the wrench provided,
fig. 9.
12)Wind down the jack to lower
the vehicle and remove the jack.
13)Fasten bolts completely, work-
ing in a criss-cross fashion as shown in
fig. 10. Tightening torque: 86 Nm.
14)Arrange the punctured tyre in
the spare wheel compartment and se-
cure it with the locking device
A-fig.

15)Lower the carpet.
16)Put back the jack, the operating
handle and the wheel bolt wrench in-
to the tool bag.
17)Secure the tool bag to the in-
ternal boot wall with the relevant re-
taining belts.

IMPORTANT As soon as possible:
have the punctured tyre repaired and
mount it on the car thus limiting the
distance travelled with the spare
wheel.
IMPORTANT Check the inflation
pressure of the tyres and the spare
wheel regularly.
