Environmental note
CO
2
(carbon dioxide) is the gas which scien-
tists believe to be principally responsible for
global warming (the greenhouse effect). Your
vehicle's CO
2
emissions are directly related to
fuel consumption and therefore depend on:
R
efficient use of the fuel by the engine
R
driving style
R
other non-technical factors, such as envi-
ronmental influences or road conditions
You can minimise your vehicle's CO
2
emis-
sions by driving carefully and having it serv-
iced regularly.
