STARTING & DRIVING — Fuel Economy
INSTRUCTIONS TO IMPROVE FUEL ECONOMY :
Your car's fuel economy is mainly dependent on your style of
driving.
To operate your car as economically as possible, use the
following driving suggestions.
Avoid Excessive Idling :
Stop the engine and start it again, if you have to wait for more
than a minute while you are stopped.
Avoid fast starts & unnecessary stops :
Always have the engine tuned correctly through
recommended maintenance at an Authorised Service
outlet.
Proper Driving Practices :
Keep a safe distance from other vehicles to avoid braking
suddenly.
Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal. It does not allow full
engine power to be transmitted to the vehicle and reduces
clutch life.
Start off slowly from traffic lights or stop signs to prevent
increased fuel consumption and shortening of engine life.
Avoid unnecessary deceleration (stopping or slowing down)
and then acceleration which uses more fuel.
Always maintain clean air-cleaner :
The amount of air supplied will reduce due to clogged aircleaner,
resulting in waste of fuel due to incomplete
combustion.
Avoid incorrect tyre pressures :
Under-inflated tyres result in increased running resistance of
the tyres, leading to wastage of fuel.
