JAC T9 - Improve Fuel Economy and Reduce CO2 Emissions

124
Starting and driving
fuel-ecient to drive at a proper constant
speed than to brake frequently and
accelerate rapidly.
Using the cruise control function (if
equipped) during high-speed driving can
help maintain a stable speed.
Using interior auxiliary electrical
equipment moderately
Coasting to a stop
Avoiding short-distance driving
According to the outside temperature, set
the appropriate A/C temperature, which
should not be too high or too low.
If the heating purpose has been achieved,
turn o the seat heater (if equipped) in
time.
When there is no fog or ice on the rear
windshield, turn o the rear windshield
heater in time.
Release the accelerator pedal to allow the
vehicle to coast and stop slowly if possible.
Consider turning o the engine when the
vehicle has to stop for a longer period of
time (e.g. at railway crossings).
After starting the engine in cold state,
the instantaneous fuel consumption of
the engine is extremely high. The fuel
consumption can return to normal level
only when the vehicle runs for several
kilometers and the working temperature of
engine becomes normal. Therefore, short-
distance driving should be avoided as much
as possible.
Warming up in winter
When driving in winter, it is generally
necessary to warm up the vehicle at idle
speed for only no more than 30 s before
starting, and excessive vehicle warm-up
should be avoided.
Keeping the vehicle cool in hot
weather
Please park the vehicle in a covered
parking lot or in a cool place as far as
possible.
When entering a vehicle with high
temperature, opening the window can help
reduce the interior temperature faster, thus
reducing the need for A/C system.
Avoiding unnecessary objects
and removing unnecessary body
components and accessories
The lighter the vehicle weight, the more
advantageous it is for fuel economy.
Therefore, unnecessary objects should be
removed from the vehicle to save fuel.
The better the aerodynamic performance
of the vehicle, the lower the fuel
consumption. Remove unnecessary special
equipment in time, especially before high-
speed driving.
Improve fuel economy and
reduce CO2 emissions
In addition to good driving habits, the
following suggestions should be followed
to improve fuel economy and reduce CO2
emissions:
1. Be sure to use the engine properly.
2. Please maintain the vehicle regularly as
required in the Maintenance Manual.
3. Adjust the tire ination pressure
properly. The required tire pressure can
reduce the rolling resistance of wheels,
thus reducing fuel consumption.
4. Keep the wheels aligned properly.
Improper alignment will aggravate tire
wear and reduce fuel economy.
5. Use the recommended engine oil.
