Keep the following in mind when operating your vehicle:
To protect the environment and your own health, fill your vehicle with unleaded fuel whenever possible.
Perform all scheduled maintenance work in a timely manner, in accordance with the service plan.
Regular service at service stations ensures not only the constant readiness of the car for operation, but also the maximum service life.
Check tire pressure at least every 4 weeks. Due to insufficient pressure, the resistance to movement increases, while not only fuel consumption increases, but also tire wear, and the driving properties of the car deteriorate.
Don't carry extra weight with you. Vehicle weight especially affects fuel consumption in urban traffic with frequent accelerations. The ratio can serve as the basis for an approximate calculation: 100 kg of weight increase fuel consumption by 1 liter per 100 km.
Remove the roof rack when not in use. Due to the increase in aerodynamic drag, the trunk significantly increases fuel consumption, especially at high speeds.
Turn on electrical appliances only when necessary. Rear window heating, interior ventilation and air conditioning require a significant amount of electricity, therefore, when electrical appliances are turned on, fuel consumption increases due to the high load on the generator. Heated rear window gives an increase in fuel consumption by 1 liter in 10 hours.
Constantly monitor fuel consumption. Check the flow rate every time you fill up. Thanks to the constant monitoring of fuel consumption, you can timely notice malfunctions in the car, which, according to other signs, are not yet noticeable.
Check the oil level every time you fill up. Oil consumption largely depends on the load and engine speed. Depending on the nature of the movement, oil consumption can be up to 1.0 liters per 1000 km.
The oil consumption of a new engine reaches its minimum value only after a break-in - this is normal. A correct assessment of oil consumption can only be given after a run of about 5000 km. This also applies to fuel consumption and overall engine performance.
