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