Avoid d
driving a
at m
maximum s
speed
Try not to drive at maximum speed. The
increase of fuel consumption, exhaust
pollution and noise is disproportionate at
high speeds.
The illustration shows the relation
between consumption (l/100 km) and
speed (km/h).
If only about 3 quarters of top speed is
utilized, the fuel consumption will be
reduced by about half.

It is worth switching off
1)
the engine in
trafficjams, at railroad crossings and at
trafficlights with a long red light. The sav-
ings in fuel after 30-40 seconds with the
engine switched off is higher than the fuel
used to switch the engine on again.

Periodic rrevisions
Your fuel savings are guaranteed even
before going on a trip with the periodic
revisions by your Technical Service Centre.
The maintenance of the engine is not only
a safety and maintenance issue but also a
fuel consumption issue.
Poor fine tuning of the engine may
increase fuel consumption by up to 10%.
Check the oil level every time you fill up.
The oil consumption depends largely on
the engine load. Depending on the dri-
ving style, the oil consumption can be up
to 1.0 l/1000 km.
Another suggestion: You can also lower
oil consumption by using synthetic oils.
1)
Statutory regulations must be respected.
