SUGGESTIONS FOR MORE
ECONOMICAL OPERATION
Your car's fuel economy is mainly
dependent on your style of driving.
How you drive, where you drive, and
when you drive has an effect on how
many kilometers you can get from a liter of
fuel.
To obtain maximum fuel economy from your
car:
ï
Start gradually and accelerate gently.
ï Avoid excessive and unnecessary
idling.
ï Keep your engine properly tuned.
ï Do not race the engine.
ï Use the air conditioning (if equipped)
only when necessary.
ï Slow down when driving on rough
roads.
ï Always keep your tires inflated to the
recommended pressure for longer tire
life and optimum fuel economy.
ï Keep your distance from other vehicles
to avoid sudden stops. This will reduce
wear on brake linings and improve
economy as extra fuel is required to
accelerate back up to driving speed.
ï Do not carry unnecessary weight in the
vehicle.
ï Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal
while driving. This can cause needless
wear, possible damage to the brakes
and poor fuel economy.
ï Always ensure your vehicle is
maintained to the manufacturer's
specification.
ï Avoid inhaling engine exhaust gases.
Engine exhaust gases contains carbon
monoxide, which has no color or odor.
Carbon monoxide is a dangerous gas.
It can cause unconsciousness and can
be lethal if inhaled.
ï If at any time you suspect that exhaust
gases are entering the vehicle, have
the vehicle inspected and repaired
immediately by a Daewoo Dealer or
Daewoo Authorized Service Operation.
If it is necessary to drive under such
conditions, do so only with all windows
fully open.
ï To protect against exhaust gases
entering the vehicle, the exhaust
system and body should be inspected:
ñ each time the vehicle is raised for
an oil change.
ñ whenever a change is noticed in
the sound of the exhaust system.
ñ whenever the exhaust system,
underbody or rear of the vehicle is
damaged or becomes corroded.
