Top speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases
as speed increases. Keep your
speed as even as possible, avoiding
unnecessary braking and acceleration
which cause excessive fuel consumption
and increase emissions.
Acceleration
Sudden acceleration has a very negative
effect on consumptions and emissions:
accelerate gradually and do not
go over the maximum torque ratio.
CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short distances and frequent cold
start-ups will prevent the engine from
reaching optimal running temperature.
Consequently, both consumption
(from +15 to +30% on urban cycle )
and emissions will increase.
Traffic and road conditions
Rather high consumption is caused by
heavy traffic, for instance when travelling
in a queue with frequent use of
low gears or in cities with many traffic
lights. Mountain and rough roads
also have a negative effect on consumption.
Traffic hold-ups
During prolonged hold-ups (level
crossings) the engine should be
switched off.
TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT NOTES
The car must be provided with a
type-approved tow hitch and adequate
electric system to tow caravans
or trailers. Installation must be performed
by specialised personnel who
will issue the required papers for travelling
on roads.
Install any specific and/or additional
rearview mirrors as specified by the
Highway Code.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, the
braking spaces increase and overtaking
takes longer depending on the
overall weight.
Engage a low gear when driving
downhill, rather than constantly using
the brake.
