Smarter driving tips
• Drive at an appropriate speed : Staying
within the speed limit increases driver
safety, reduces CO
2
emissions and saves
fuel. At 70mph you could be using up to
9% more fuel than at 60mph and up to
15% more fuel than at 50mph
• Drive smoothly at all times: Anticipate
the ebb and flow of the traffic to avoid
harsh acceleration and braking
• Reduce your revs: Change gear earlier
to help reduce fuel consumption – try
2500rpm with petrol engines and
2000rpm with diesel
• Idling is wasting fuel: If you’re likely
to be at a standstill for more than three
minutes, switch off the engine to save fuel
• Regularly check your tyre pressures:
Under inflated tyres increase CO
2
emissions whilst incorrectly inflated
tyres can be unsafe. Always check your
handbook for the correct tyre pressure.
This will also help to increase the life of
your tyres
• Remove unnecessary items from the
car: Extra weight increases the engine’s
workload, whilst roof racks and bike
carriers increase wind resistance. All burn
more fuel and increase CO
2
emissions

Gross vehicle weight is the total permissible weight of the vehicle including passengers and their luggage. The maximum roof
rack loading should not exceed 100kg. The maximum towing weights are based on the ability of the car, with two occupants of
75kg each, to restart on a 12% gradient, which is approximately 1 in 8.3, at sea level. At altitudes above 1500 metres, the engine
output may drop with a corresponding reduction in towing capability. Any extra weight, such as luggage or additional passengers,
should be deducted from the maximum towing weight. With a trailer fully loaded, maximum noseweight should not exceed 75kg.
Always fit Vauxhall towing attachments and accessories available from your Vauxhall retailer. They are designed specifically for
Vauxhall models and carry a 12-month guarantee.
