Tyres play a key role in fuel consumption. This starts with the selection; the higher the rolling resistance, the more fuel is consumed. Therefore, inform yourself about the features of your tyres when buying. Once mounted, it is mainly about the correct air pressure. This is because fuel consumption increases by 1 percent when the tyre pressure is lower than the ideal value by only 0.2 bar. In contrast, fuel can be saved by a moderately elevated pressure value.

Check the tyre pressure every alternate refueling and adjust it, if necessary.

Incorrectly set headlights are not only a danger to the driver, but for all other road users as well. Not only do they fail to provide sufficient illumination, they can also dazzle the drivers of oncoming vehicles. So it is important to have your lights checked at regular intervals to ensure safe driving at all times. Bosch Car Service workshops can perform headlamp adjustment for you.

Holiday at last! But while you can sit back and relax, your vehicle has a lot to cope with. The greater load, high speeds, hot weather and long journeys are a source of immense strain. To make sure your car gets you safely to your destination it is well worth giving some thought to a few important aspects before starting off.

• The tyre inflation pressure should be adjusted to the manufacturers recommended level for safer driving and to reduce fuel consumption and tyre wear. Important information can be found in the owner's manual, on the inside of the tank flap, on the door pillar.
• Do not overload the vehicle beyond its limit.
• Check the condition of the all-necessary equipment such as tool kit and first aid kit and replace if required.
• Check the levels of windshield washer fluid and anti-freeze.
• Check the oil level and top up if necessary.
