Driving and the Environment204

Avoiding full throttle

Driving more slowly means saving fuel.

Sensitive use of the accelerator will not only significantly reduce fuel consumption

but also positively influence environmental pollution and wear of your vehicle.

You should avoid fully exploiting the top speed of your vehicle wherever possible.

Fuel consumption, pollutant emissions and vehicle noises increase disproportion-

ally at high speeds.

The ⇒ fig. 195 shows the ratio of fuel consumption to the speed of your vehicle.

You will cut your fuel consumption by half if you only make use three-quarters of

the possible top speed of your vehicle.

Reducing idling

Idling also costs fuel.

It is worthwhile switching off the engine in a traffic jam or when waiting at a level

crossing or at traffic lights with a lengthy red phase. Even after just 30 - 40 seconds

you will have saved more fuel than that is needed when you start the engine up

again.

If an engine is only idling it takes much longer for it to reach its normal operating

temperature. Wear-and-tear and pollutant emissions, though, are particularly high

in the warming-up phase. This is why you should drive off right after starting the

engine. Do avoid high engine revolutions at this time, however.

Regular servicing

A poorly tuned engine consumes an unnecessarily high amount of

fuel.

Having your vehicle serviced regularly at a specialist garge enables you to satisfy

one of the requirements for economical motoring even before you set off on your

journey. Keeping your vehicle properly serviced not only has a positive effect on the

safety of your vehicle and maintaining its value, but also saves on fuel.

A poorly tuned engine can result in a fuel consumption which is 10% higher than

normal.

The foreseen maintenance work should be undertaken exactly according to the

Service schedule by a specialist garage.

Also check the oil level after refueling. Oil consumption is dependent to a consid-

erable extent on the load and speed of the engine. Oil consumption could be as

high as 0.5 litres/1 000 km depending on your style of driving.

It is quite normal that a new engine has a higher oil consumption at first, and

reaches its lowest level only after a certain running in time. It is therefore not

possible to correctly assess the oil consumption of a new vehicle until after you

have driven about 5 000 km.

For the sake of the environment

• You can achieve additional improvements in your fuel economy by using high-

lubricity oils.

• Check the ground below your car at regular intervals to detect any leakages in

good time. Please have your vehicle inspected by a specialist garge if you find any

stains caused by oil or other fluids on the floor.
