Things to remember when driving DRIVING TIPS 107Fuel consumption depends on a number of dif-ferent factors. Fuel consumption and environ-mental pollution are affect ed by various actions, the manner of driving and regular maintenance.Remove unnecessary cargoAdditional weight increases fuel consumption.Remove attached parts no longer in useRemove auxiliary mirrors, roof- or rear-mounted luggage racks whenever you are not using them.Attached parts on the vehicle affect its aerody-namics and increase fuel consumption.Closing windowsOpen windows increase air resistance and therefore fuel consumption.Check tire inflation pressure regularlyCheck and, if necessary, correct tire inflation pressure at least twice a month and before start-ing on a long trip.Low inflation pressure increases rolling resis-tance and thus leads to greater fuel consump-tion and tire wear.Drive off immediatelyDo not wait for the engine to warm up while the vehicle remains stationary. Start driving right away, but at moderate engine speeds. This is the fastest way for the cold engine to reach its oper-ating temperature.Think ahead while drivingAvoid unnecessary accelera tion and braking, by maintaining a suitable di stance to the vehicle driving ahead.Looking-ahead and smooth driving reduces fuel consumption.Avoid high engine speedsUse first gear only for driving off. In second and higher gears, accelerate smoothly to a suitable engine and road speed. In doing so, avoid high engine speeds and shift up early.When you reach your desired traveling speed, shift to the highest suit able gear and drive at constant speed.As a rule: driving at lo w engine speeds lowers fuel consumption and reduces wear.CoastingWhen approaching a red traffic light, take your foot off the accelerator and let the car roll to a stop in the highest gear possible.On a downhill gradient, take your foot off the accelerator and let the vehi cle coast in a suitable gear.Fuel supply is shut off automatically when the vehicle is coasting.Switch off the engine during lengthy stopsSwitch off the engine when stopping for lengthy periods, e.g. at traffic lights, railroad crossings or in traffic jams.Switch off any features that are not currently requiredFeatures such as air conditioning, seat heaters and the rear window defroster require a great deal of energy and result in greater fuel con-sumption, especially in city driving and during Stop & Go operation. For this reason, switch off these features if they are not really needed.Have the vehicle servicedHave your vehicle serviced regularly to achieve good economy and a long vehicle life. The man-ufacturer of your MINI recommends having the vehicle serviced by a MINI dealer. Also note the MINI Maintenance System, page 211.
