In addition to the catalytic converter
system, the vehicles are equipped
with a system for controlling fuel
vapor emissions. This system, called
ORVR, has been designed to help
reduce atmospheric pollution by the
evaporation from the fuel system
during the refueling process. Also,
specific to these vehicles is the fuel
filler neck which comes equipped
with a sealed plug that is grounded
to avoid possible sparking during re-
fueling.
Failure to comply with these
rules can create fire hazards.
Other tips
- Do not warm up the engine when
the vehicle is stationary: in these
conditions the engine warms up
much more slowly and increases
fuel consumption and emissions.
It is advisable to move off slowly,
avoiding high engine RPM.
- As soon as traffic conditions and
the route permit it, use a higher
gear.
- Avoid Depressing the accelerator
repeatedly during stops at traffic
lights or before turning off the
engine.
- Keep your speed as regular as
possible, avoiding unnecessary
braking and acceleration, which
cause fuel wastage and strongly
increase exhaust emissions.
- Turn the engine off if the vehicle
remains stationary for a long time.
- Check the tire pressure regularly:
if the pressure is too low, fuel
consumption increases and the tires
are damaged.
- Do not transport unnecessary
objects in the luggage
compartment. The weight of the
vehicle affects fuel consumption
considerably.
- Use the electrical devices
only as long as necessary. The
power required increases fuel
consumption.
