Comment

Before you drive off, you should make sure that the correct tire pressure is set. All important information about this topic can be found in the operating instructions of your vehicle. If the tire internal pressure is too high or too low, there will be an increase in pollutant emissions. Even unbalanced driving can lead to high fuel consumption. Therefore, instead of accelerating to the upper rotational speed limit and only change gears then, you should shift up in the lower or middle rotational speed limit range. This means you consume less fuel and at the same time reduce the exhaust emissions of your car.
