FUEL-FUEL SAVING
The fuel tank should only be filled when the
engine is completely off and avoiding
overflowing.
Fuel dilates when it heats up and may leak
from the tank under the heat of the engine or
the sun.
Any overflows must be wiped up immediately.
-Open the front storage compartment.
- Remove the tank cap.
When filling up with fuel, ensure the end of the nozzle is
correctly inserted into the filling orifice on the fuel tank.
To reduce fuel consumption and protect your vehicle's
mechanics.
• Avoid using very high revs over very short distances.
• Do not race the engine when declutched.
• Ensure that the weight of the user, the passenger,
luggage and accessories does not exceed the
maximum authorised load.
• Switch off the engine, even during a short halt.
Managing fuel consumption is also a way of personally
contributing to environmental protection.
