2013 Volkswagen Golf - Saving fuel and helping the environment (4 pages)
Download Saving fuel and helping the environment
Manual Description
In this section you'll find information about, fuel consumption, environmental impact, and wear and tear on engine, brakes tires depend, mainly on following 3 factors, you can reduce fuel consumption by up to 25% by using a few simple techniques adjusting your.
Always adjust your speed and the distance you keep between you and vehicles ahead, you to the road, traffic, weather, visibility conditions, Please first read and note the introductory information heed WARNINGS, as a rule, the following applies: The higher gear is always the most efficient gear.
For most vehicles is to drive in 3rd gear at 20 mph (30 km/h), 4th gear at 25 mph (40 km/h), 5th gear, if traffic and driving conditions permit, skipping” gears when upshifting also saves fuel, if you take your foot off the accelerator, fuel delivery to the engine is interrupted, which lowers fuel, therefore, when nearing a red stop light, for instance, allow the vehicle to coast without using.
In situations where the vehicle will be stopped for a longer period of time, such railroad, crossing, physically switch off engine, defensive driving flowing” with traffic, frequent braking and acceleration increases fuel consumption significantly.
And keeping a sufficiently large distance away from the vehicle in front of you can make up, speed fluctuations caused by taking your foot off the accelerator, consistency is more important than speed, when driving on the highway or freeway, a constant, moderate speed is more efficient economical.
Driving at a moderate, but steady speed, the cruise control system can assist in maintaining uniform driving style, moderate use extra electrical loads, comfort inside the vehicle is nice and important, but it is important to use them an environmentally.
Some devices can increase fuel consumption when activated (examples), climate control system (air conditioner): If the air conditioner has produce starkly contrasting, temperatures, it requires a large amount of energy, which is generated by engine, in the vehicle should therefore not be extremely different from that of the outside temperature.
Be helpful to ventilate the vehicle before driving and then to drive a short distance with windows, switch off seat heating once it has served its purpose, switch off the rear window defroster as soon as the windows are free fog ice, additional factors that increase fuel consumption (examples).
Never let the vehicle coast or roll down a hill in Neutral (N), especially when engine not, driving defensively and economically can easily reduce fuel consumption by 10 15%, the vehicle consumes the most fuel when accelerating, the next traffic light is red or about turn red.
A cold engine consumes significantly more fuel immediately after starting, before the engine is warmed up and fuel consumption stabilized, to reduce fuel consumption and the emission of pollutants effectively, engine catalytic, converter must reach their optimal operating temperature.
At °F (+20 °C) and once at +14 °F (-10 °C), therefore, avoid driving short distances unnecessarily consolidate routes, under the same conditions, the vehicle consumes more fuel in winter than summer, letting the engine run to warm up” is not only illegal in some places, but also technically not.
The proper tire pressure helps reduce rolling resistance as well fuel consumption, when purchasing new tires, always make sure that the tires are optimized lower rolling resistance, fully synthetic,” low viscosity engine oils that expressly comply with Volkswagen oil quality standards, are distributed more evenly and quickly, particularly when cold-starting the engine.
Particularly apparent in vehicles that frequently travel short distances, always ensure the right engine oil level is maintained and keep to scheduled service intervals, make sure the engine oil that you purchase expressly complies with Volkswagen oil quality standards, the lighter the vehicle, the more economical and eco-friendly it will be.
Kg) of weight increases fuel consumption by up to 1 pint per 60 miles (0, remove all unnecessary items and unnecessary dead weight vehicle, the more aerodynamic the vehicle, the less fuel it will consume.
