of fuel economy.

pressures.

Accelerating, driving and braking

starts.
Drive the vehicle at steady speeds
where possible (after running-in).

to reach top gear as soon as
possible, but do not force the engine
to labour in top gear.
Riding the brake
Do not rest your foot on the brake
pedal when you do not intend to
brake.
Air conditioning
Switch off the air conditioning when
not required. However, once every
2 weeks, with the engine running,
switch the air conditioning on for
5 to 10 minutes to lubricate the
seals (even in winter).
