Save fuel, protect the environment98Overrunz The fuel supply is automatically shut offduring overrun, e.g. when the vehicle isbeing driven down long gradients orduring braking - see page 96.z To enable the overrun cut-off to takeeffect and save fuel, do not accelerate ordeclutch.Correct gear selectionz High revs increase engine wear and fuelconsumption.z Do not race your engine. Avoid driving athigh engine speeds.Driving with an eye on the tachometersaves fuel. If possible, drive at low revs ineach gear and at constant speed. Drivein top gear as much as possible, shift upas soon as possible and do not shiftdown prematurely.High speedz The faster the speed, the higher theconsumption and noise level. Driving atfull throttle uses up a great deal of fueland generates excessive noise and highemission levels.z Slightly releasing the accelerator pedalresults in distinct fuel savings with nomajor loss of speed.Drive at no more than around threequarters of maximum speed and you willuse up to 50% less fuel, without losing agreat deal of time.Tyre inflation pressurez Inadequate tyre pressure, leading tohigher road resistance, costs money intwo ways: for more fuel and increasedtyre wear.z Regular checks (every 14 days) pay off.Electrical loadsz The power consumption of electricalequipment increases fuel consumption.z Switch off all additional consumers (e.g.air conditioning 3, heated rearwindow 3) when they are no longerrequired.Roof racksz Roof racks can increase fuelconsumption by approx.3.5 gal / 1000 miles (1 l/100 km) due toair resistance.z Remove them if they are not being used.Repair and maintenancez Improper repairs or adjustment andmaintenance work can increase fuelconsumption. Do not carry out work onthe engine yourself.You may out of ignorance infringeenvironmental laws by not disposing ofmaterials properly.Appropriate parts might not be recycled.Contact with some of the materialsinvolved may pose a health hazard.z We recommend that repairs andmaintenance be entrusted to a VauxhallAuthorised Repairer.Extreme driving conditionsz Driving up steep gradients, cornering,driving on poor roads, and winter drivingall increase fuel consumption.Fuel consumption increases dramaticallyin urban traffic and at wintertemperatures, especially on short tripswhen the engine operating temperatureis not reached.z Follow the hints given above to keepconsumption to a minimum under suchconditions.Ofrecido por www.electromanuales.com
