Driving
49
The above figure illustrates
how the fuel consumption is
influenced by the selection of
vehicle speed and gear. Maintaining at
low gear to improve the acceleration
performance will result the obvious
higher fuel consumption.
Stroke Distance/Engine
Temperature
The frequent cold vehicle start and the
short distance journeys will result the
obvious increasing of the fuel
consumption.
Traffic and Road Condition
The crowded traffic, upward slopes,
multi curved routines and rough roads
will cause detrimental influence on the
fuel consumption.
Good Driving Habits
The prediction of danger and keeping
safe driving distance with foregoing
vehicle will not only reduce the fuel
consumption but also reduce the
wearing and noise of the brake.
It’s recommended to turn off
the engine during traffic jam
or long period waiting such
as red light.
The 3 min engine idle is equivalent to
driving for 1 km.
Vehicle Load Status
The increasing of vehicle load will
result the higher fuel consumption.
Vehicle Technical Status
The low tire pressure or improper
engine and vehicle maintenance also
will result higher fuel consumption.
Essentials for Fuel- Saving
Driving and Environmental
Protection:
y Fuel-saving driving, and use
supplementary electrical loads
only when needed.
y Start without the heating of the
vehicle.
y Use the accelerator smoothly.
y Shift to next higher gear as soon
as possible so as to achieve lower
engine speed.
y Prediction of traffic condition.
y Turn off A/C and rear windscreen
heating immediately whenever
unnecessary.
y Check/adjust the tire pressure
periodically.
y Conduct vehicle maintenance
periodically, preferable conducted
by Chery authorized service
station.
Radiator Fan
The radiator fan is of electrical fan with
the working condition is controlled by
the engine ECU. This switch will
automatically turn on the fan circuit
when the coolant or the engine
compartment reached certain
temperature.
