Fuel capacity
Avoid the risk of running out of fuel and never intentionally
drive the car when the fuel gauge indicates that the tank is
empty. When refuelling your vehicle after the fuel gauge reads
empty, you may not be able to add the fuel quantity shown
below to the tank as there will be a small reserve remaining in
the tank.Fuel Economy
The following tips not only lead to greater fuel economy but also
reduce air pollution causing less environmental damage:
• Try to avoid using the car for short journeys – this will lead
to greater fuel economy and reduce wear on the engine.
• Plan ahead – choose uncongested routes, combine car trips and share cars where possible.
• Drive off as soon as possible after starting a cold engine – do not leave the engine idling until it has warmed up.
• Drive smoothly and efficiently – harsh acceleration and heavy braking have a significant effect on fuel
consumption – driving more smoothly saves fuel.
• Slow down – driving at high speeds significantly increases fuel consumption.
• Switch off – sitting stationary is zero miles per gallon, switch
off the engine when it is safe to do so.
• Unnecessary weight – do not carry unnecessary weight and remove roof-racks when not in use.
• Regular servicing keeps the engine at best efficiency.
• Ensure that tyres are inflated to the correct pressure for the journey.
• Use air conditioning and all vehicle electrical devices sparingly – all increase fuel consumption.
• Check your fuel consumption – it will help you get the most from your car and any significant change in consumption
may indicate a vehicle fault.
