Avoid full throttle and high speeds

Fuel consumption can be reduced by half if only three-quarters of the possible

top speed of your vehicle is used.

Reducing idling

If the vehicle is fitted with the START - STOP system there is an automatic re-

duction of the idling. If the engine is stopped on vehicles without START-STOP

system, such as when waiting in a traffic jam, the fuel economy is already

greater after 30 - 40 s than the fuel quantity which is required for engine re-

start.

Avoid short distances

When driving a short distance of less than about 4 km, the engine cannot

reach its operating temperature. As long as the engine has not reached oper-

ating temperature, the fuel consumption is significantly higher than with the

engine hot.

Pay attention to the correct tyre inflation pressure being maintained

Further information » page 115.

Avoid unnecessary ballast

Per 100 kg of weight, consumption increases by about 0.3 l/100 km. At a speed

of 100 - 120 km/h, a vehicle fitted with a roof rack cross member without a load

will use about 10 % more fuel than normal due to the increased aerodynamic

drag.

Saving electricity

Electrical consumers (e.g. seat heating, air conditioning and the like) only turn

on for as long as necessary.

Use the cooling system economically

The air conditioning system compressor uses power from the engine when in

cooling mode, which will affect the fuel consumption.

It recommended to open the windows or the doors of a vehicle for which the

interior has been strongly heated through the effect of direct sunlight in order

to allow the heated air to escape.

The cooling system should not be on if the windows are open.

This section of the manual contains important information on preventing dam-

Driving Tips

Only drive on such roads and in such terrain, which match the vehicle parame-

ters » page 140, Technical data as well as your driving skills.

The driver is always responsible for deciding whether the vehicle can handle

travelling in the given terrain.

WARNING

■

Always adjust your driving to the current terrain and weather conditions.

Excessive speed or incorrect driving manoeuvres can cause damage to the

vehicle and lead to serious injuries.

■

Combustible objects such as dry leaves or twigs caught under the base of

the vehicle could ignite on hot vehicle parts - risk of fire!

CAUTION

■

Pay attention to the ground clearance of the vehicle! When driving over ob-

jects which are larger than the ground clearance, the vehicle can get damaged.

■

Any objects that get trapped under the vehicle floor must be removed as

soon as possible. These objects can damage the fuel lines, the brake system,

seals and other parts of the vehicle.

■

Drive slowly in unknown terrain and watch out for unexpected obstacles,

such as potholes, rocks, stumps, etc.

■

Check up on confusing sections of unpaved roads before travelling on them

and consider whether such travelling is possible without risk.

Driving

I bought my 2016 Skoda Citigo two months ago and can't find out why it will suddenly ping for no obvious reason, some times pining three or four time in a row. My partner noticed the numbers 1-5 with an arrow coming up on the right hand side of the odometer but we can't find out what they or the mysterious pinging is. Please can you help. Thank you Submitted on 15-9-2022 at 10:11
