Driving and the environment 231 Never drive until the tank is empty; an irregular supply of fuel can cause Economic and ecological driving faulty combustion. In these cases, unburned fuel reaches the exhaust sys- tem, which can overheat and damage the catalytic converter. Fuel consumption, environmental pollution and wear to the engine, brakes Diesel particulate filter and tyres depends largely on driving style. Fuel consumption can be re- duced by 10-15% with an economical driving style and proper anticipation Applies to vehicles with diesel engine: The diesel particulate filter can filter of traffic conditions. The following section gives you some tips on lessening out almost all soot particles contained in the exhaust gas. In normal driving the impact on the environment and reducing your operating costs at the conditions the filter is self-cleaning. The Diesel particulate filter is cleaned same time. automatically without need for indication by the warning lamp . This may be noticed because the engine idle speed increases and an odour may be Foresight when driving detected. Acceleration causes the vehicle to consume more fuel. If you think ahead If automatic filter purification cannot be carried out (because only shortwhen driving, you will need to brake less and thus accelerate less. Wherever trips are taken, for example), soot will accumulate on the filter and the Die-possible, let the car roll slowly to a stop, with a gear engaged (for instance sel particulate filter warning lamp will  switch on. when you can see that the next traffic lights are red).
