DRIVING<br />
FRIENDLY TIPS TO IMPROVE<br />
FUEL ECONOMY :<br />
Your vehicle's fuel economy is mainly<br />
dependent on your style of driving.<br />
To operate your vehicle as<br />
economically as possible, adhere to<br />
following driving suggestions.<br />
Avoid Excessive Idling :<br />
Shut Off the engine if you have to<br />
wait for more than a minute while you<br />
are in traffic.<br />
Avoid fast starts and unnecessary<br />
stops :<br />
Start off slowly from traffic lights or<br />
stop signs to prevent increased fuel<br />
consumption and shortening of<br />
engine life. Avoid unnecessary<br />
deceleration (stopping or slowing<br />
down) and then acceleration which<br />
uses more fuel.<br />
Always maintain clean air-filter:<br />
The amount of air supplied will<br />
reduce due to clogged air-filter,<br />
resulting in loss of power and fuel<br />
economy.<br />
Maintain correct tyre pressures:<br />
Under-inflated tyres result in<br />
increased running resistance of the<br />
tyres, leading to wastage of fuel.<br />
(Refer tyre maintenance section)<br />
Proper Driving Practices :<br />
Keep a safe distance from other<br />
vehicles to avoid braking suddenly.<br />

NOTICE<br />
Do not rest your foot on the clutch<br />
pedal. It does not allow full engine<br />
power to be transmitted to the<br />
vehicle and reduces clutch life.<br />
Fuel economy speeds :<br />
FUEL ECONOMY<br />
Always adhere to following fuel<br />
economy speeds.<br />
Gear Speed (kmph)<br />
1st 10<br />
2nd 20 - 30<br />
3rd 30 - 50<br />
4th 50 - 70<br />
FUEL CUT-IN / CUT-OFF<br />
STRATEGY :<br />
The ECU has been programmed to<br />
limit the speed of the vehicle to 35 km/<br />
h in 1st gear, 60 km/h in 2nd gear, 90<br />
km/h in 3rd gear and 105 km/h in 4th gear. As a good driving practice,<br />
always shift to a higher gear before<br />
reaching the speed limit specified for<br />
that gear. In case the gear is not shifted<br />
and you continue to drive in the same<br />
gear beyond the specified speed, the<br />
ECU will activate the fuel cut-off<br />
strategy and restrict vehicle speed to<br />
the specified limit. This is to ensure<br />
optimum fuel efficiency and prolonged<br />
engine life.
