Observe the following tips to save fuel:

  • The tires should always be inflated to the recommended tire pressure.

  • Warm up the engine at low engine speeds.
  • Avoid frequent acceleration or braking.
  • Have all maintenance work carried out as indicated by the service intervals in the Service Booklet or by the service interval display.
