This is the reason Design measures for economical recycling why we recommend avoiding short trips wherever possible.• Joints and connections designed for ease of dismantling Maintain the correct tyre pressures • Modular construction to facilitate dismantling Always make sure the tyres are inflated to the correct pressures • Increased use of single-grade materials ⇒page243 to save fuel. If the tyre pressures are just 0.5 bar too low, • Plastic parts and elastomers are labelled in accordance with ISO this can increase the fuel consumption by as much as 5 %. Due to 1043, ISO 11469 and ISO 1629 the greater rolling resistance, under-inflation also increases tyre wear and impairs handling. Choice of materials Do not use winter tyres all through the year; they will increase fuel • Nearly all materials used can be recycled consumption by up to 10 %. • Similar types of plastics grouped together for easy recycling Avoid carrying unneccessary loads • Recycled materials used in manufacture Every kilo of extra weight will increase the fuel consumption, so it is • Reduced vapour emissions from plastics worth checking the luggage compartment occasionally to make • CFC-free refrigerant in air conditioner sure that no unnecessary loads are being transported.Compliance with the laws prohibiting the use of: Cadmium, A roof carrier is often left in place for the sake of convenience, even asbestos, lead, mercury and chrome VI. when it is no longer needed. At a speed of 100-120 km/h your car will Manufacturing methods use about 12 % more fuel as a result of the extra wind resistance • Using recycling material for manufacturing plastic parts caused by the roof carrier - even when it is empty.• Solvent-free cavity sealing Save electrical energy • Solvent-free wax for protecting the vehicles in transit The engine drives the alternator to generate electricity. This means • Solvent-free adhesives that fuel consumption rises when more power is required for elec-• No CFCs used in production trical equipment. Switch off electrical equipment when it is not needed. Electrical equipment which uses a lot of electricity includes • Surplus materials used extensively for energy conversion and the blower (at a high setting), the rear window heating and the seat building materials heating*. • Overall water consumption reduced • Heat recovery systems Environmental compatibility • Water-soluble paint Environmental protection is a top priority in the design, choice of materials and production of your new Audi.
