FUEL SAVING TIPS :
Your vehicle's fuel economy is mainly
dependent on your style of driving.
To operate your vehicle 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.
e.g. at traffic signals.
Avoid fast starts and unnecessary
stops :
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.
Gear shifting :
Always follow the gear shifting
recommendations provided on
instrument cluster for selected models.
Always maintain clean air-filter:
The amount of air supplied will reduce
due to clogged air-filter, resulting in
wastage of fuel due to incomplete
combustion.
Avoid incorrect tyre pressure :
Under-inflated tyres result in increased
running resistance of the tyres, leading
to wastage of fuel.
(Refer tyre maintenance section)
Proper Driving Practices :
Keep a safe distance from other
vehicles to avoid braking suddenly.
NOTE
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.
