Consumption and the environment: the point to remember
Regular driving, adequate speed and the correct use of gears help to contain consumption. Weight and accessories can increase them. Accelerating from a standstill or deflating the tyres is not a solution against pollution.

True or false?
Electrically operated appliances and devices (radios, lights, thermal rear window, etc.) increase the vehicle's fuel consumption
Italian text
Gli apparecchi e i dispositivi che funzionano a corrente elettrica (radio, luci, lunotto termico, ecc.) fanno aumentare i consumi di carburante del veicolo
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: TRUE
Regular driving, adequate speed and the correct use of gears help to contain consumption. Weight and accessories can increase them. Accelerating from a standstill or deflating the tyres is not a solution against pollution.
True or false?
Keeping the vehicle's sliding canopy open results in less fuel consumption
Italian text
Tenere aperto il tettuccio scorrevole del veicolo comporta un minor consumo di carburante
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: FALSE
Opening the canopy is not a system to reduce consumption: it can increase the resistance to advancement. Regular driving, adequate speed and the correct use of gears help to contain consumption. Weight and accessories can increase them. Accelerating from a standstill or deflating the tyres is not a solution against pollution.
