- Adjust tires inflation pressure. (When the
tires inflation pressure is low, friction of tires

when the engine is reached to balanced
speed.
- Do not drive at high speed. The best fuel
consumption is reached in gear 5 at the
speed of 90 Km/h.
- Increasing the speed will increase the
fuel consumption. (fuel consumption in
traveling 100 Km at speed of 90 Km/h, is
approximately 7.6 liters.) after overheating
if water temperature higher than normal
limit, drive slowly and avoid unnecessary
acceleration.
- Warm up the engine in first initial kilometers
of traveling gradually by driving at balanced
speed.
- Driving with high acceleration will increase
the fuel consumption. It is better to drive at
low speed.
- In heavy gear (1 and 2), avoid high
acceleration. Make use of highest gear
of engine without putting force to engine.
Reduce the need for using brakes by keeping
in safe distance with front vehicle.

really no need to them.
- Preferably make use of air vents instead of
lowering windows.

consumption.
- Make use of beltway roads in traveling and
