Economical operation
Your vehicle's fuel economy depends
mainly on your style of driving, where
you drive and when you drive.
Each of these factors affects how many
kilometers (miles) you can get from a
litre (gallon) of fuel.To operate your vehi
-
cle as economically as possible, use the
following driving suggestions to help
save money in both fuel and repairs:
僅 Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a mod
-
erate rate. Do not make "jackrabbit"
starts or full-throttle shifts and main
-
tain a steady cruising speed. Do not
race between stoplights. Try to adjust
your speed to the traffic so you do not
have to change speeds unnecessar
-
ily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos
-
sible. Always maintain a safe distance
from other vehicles so you can avoid
unnecessary braking. This also
reduces brake wear.
僅 Drive at a moderate speed. The faster
you drive, the more fuel your vehicle
uses. Driving at a moderate speed,
especially on the highway, is one of
the most effective ways to reduce fuel
consumption.
僅 Do not "ride" the brake or clutch
pedal. This can increase fuel con
-
sumption and also increase wear on
these components. In addition, driving
with your foot resting on the brake
pedal may cause the brakes to over
-
heat, which reduces their effective
-
ness and may lead to more serious
consequences.
僅 Take care of your tyres. Keep them
inflated to the recommended pres
-
sure. Incorrect inflation, either too
much or too little, results in unneces
-
sary tyre wear. Check the tyre pres
-
sures at least once a month.
