The driver's driving style has the greatest influence on fuel consumption. Here are some tips for using the accelerator pedal intelligently.

  • After starting the engine, drive off immediately, even in frost.

  • Switch off the engine when stops of more than 40 seconds are expected.

  • Drive in the highest possible gear.

  • Drive at steady speeds over longer distances and avoid high speeds. Drive ahead-looking. Do not brake unnecessarily.

  • Do not carry unnecessary loads; remove attachments on the vehicle, such as roof racks, where possible.

  • Always drive with the correct tire pressure, never with pressure that is too low.

  • Choose the mode of transport carefully. Avoid local and time-based traffic peaks where possible.
