Vauxhall Combo Manual De Propietario

When developing and manufacturing your 

vehicle, Vauxhall used environment-

friendly and in the main recyclable 

materials. The production methods used to 

make your vehicle are likewise 

environmentally-compatible. 
Recycling of production wastes keeps the 

circulation of material closed. Reduction of 

energy and water requirements also helps 

to conserve natural resources.
A highly advanced design means that your 

vehicle can be easily disassembled at the 

end of its working life, and the individual 

materials separated for subsequent re-use. 
Materials such as asbestos and cadmium 

are not used. The refrigerant in the air 

conditioning system 3 is CFC-free. 

New painting techniques employ water as 

a solvent.

on-going commitment to achieving an 

environmentally sustainable future,

z High noise levels and exhaust emissions 

are often a result of driving without due 

attention to saving energy and 

protecting the environment. 

z You should therefore drive with energy in 

mind – "more miles with less fuel". 
Reduce the noise level and exhaust 

emissions by adopting an environment-

conscious driving style. This is extremely 

worthwhile and improves the quality of 

life. 
Fuel consumption depends to a great 

extent on your own personal driving 

style. The following hints are intended to 

help you consume fuel at a rate that is as 

close as possible to the specified levels – 

see page 200. 
Check your vehicle’s fuel consumption 

every time you refuel. This facilitates 

early detection of any irregularities 

causing increased fuel consumption. 

z Full throttle and warming up at idle 

speed increase wear, fuel consumption, 

exhaust emission, the amount of 

pollutant in the exhaust and the amount 

of noise. 

z Drive off immediately after starting. 

Warm up the engine by running it at 

moderate engine speeds. 

z Hectic driving significantly increases fuel 

consumption, the exhaust emissions, the 

proportion of pollutant in the exhaust 

gas and the noise level. 

z Do not accelerate and brake 

unnecessarily. Drive at uniform speed, 

watching the road. 
Avoid frequent starting-off and stopping 

e.g. at traffic lights, in short distance 

traffic and in queues of traffic by means 

of clever planning. Select roads with 

good traffic flow. 

z The engine also consumes fuel when 

idling. 

z If you have to wait for more than one 

minute, it is worthwhile switching off 

the engine. Five minutes of idling 

corresponds to approximately 0.6 miles 

(1 km) of driving.
