ECONOMY AND

ENVIRONMENT-

FRIENDLY DRIVING

How you use and how you drive your

vehicle directly influence fuel consump-

tion and environmental impact.

By following a few simple guidelines

and without incising on the “liveliness”

of the vehicle, it is possible to avoid dam-

aging the environment and often, at the

same time, to limit fuel consumption.

The following helpful suggestions will al-

low you to save in running costs and re-

duce harmful emissions.

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

Vehicle maintenance

The conditions of the vehicle are an im-

portant factor which affects fuel consump-

tion as well as driving tranquillity and the

life of the car itself. For this reason, care

should be given to maintenance, having

the checks and adjustments given in the

scheduled maintenance programme car-

ried out (see ... spark plugs, idle speed,

air/fuel oil filter, timing).

Tyres

Check the tyre pressure at least every 4

weeks: if the pressure is too low, consump-

tion increases as resistance to rolling is

higher. It should also be underlined that in

these conditions, tyre wear increases re-

sulting in poor handling and lower safety.

Drive at a moderate

speed when snow chains

have been fitted to the

wheels. Avoid potholes, steps and

pavements, and do not drive for

long stretches on snow-free roads,

otherwise you risk damaging the

tyres, suspension and steering.

Snow chains can be fit-

ted only on wheels with

6.5J x 16” rims and

215/55 R16 tyres or 7.5J x 17”

rims and 225/45 R17 tyres.
