Start and driving
Economical and environmentally-
friendly driving Fuel consumption, environmental pollution
and wear t
o the engine
, brakes and tyres de-
pends in large part on your driving style. By
adopting an economical driving style and an-
ticipating the traffic situation ahead, you can
easily reduce fuel consumption by 10-15%.
Some tips on how to help you reduce pollu-
tion while saving money are listed below.
Active cylinder management (ACT

Driving
Due to the greater rolling resistance, under-
infl ation al
so incr
eases tyre wear wear and
impairs handling.
The tyre pressures should always be checked
when the tyres are cold.
Do not use winter tyres all year round as
they increase fuel consumption by up to 10%.
Avoid unnecessary weight
Given that every kilo of extra weight will in-
crease the fuel consumption, it is advisable to
always check the luggage compartment to
make sure that no unnecessary loads are be-
ing transported.
A roof rack is often left in place for the sake of
convenience, even when it is no longer nee-
ded. At a speed of 100 km/h (62 mph) and
120 km/h (75 mph) your vehicle will use about
12% more fuel as a result of the extra wind re-
sistance caused by the roof rack even when it
is not in use.
Save electricity
The engine activates the alternator, which
produces electricity. With the need for elec-
tricity, fuel consumption also increases. Be-
cause of this, always turn off electrical devi-
ces when you do not need them. Examples of
devices that use a lot of electricity are: the
blower at high speeds, the rear window heat-
ing or the seat heaters*. Note
