DRIVING TIPS
DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY
Driving on a Highway
There are many ways to enhance
efficiency when driving on a highway.
Remember that roads with many uphill
inclines and bends result in higher fuel
consumption. For this reason, it is often
wise to plan the most efficient route
ahead of time.
Adapted Speed
It is important to maintain a correctly
adapted speed. Higher speeds result in
increased wind resistance and increased
fuel consumption. Remember that
doubled speed results in quadrupled
wind resistance. You can reduce the
trucks wind resistance and therefore
reduce fuel consumption by using a
spoiler.
Gear Changing
Use the Auxiliary Brakes
You can reduce the wear on the truck's
service brakes by using the truck's
auxiliary brakes.
You can also use the "Brake Blending"
function for controlled braking. "Brake
Blending" assists the auxiliary brakes
while you are braking.
Rolling Resistance
Rolling resistance plays a major role in
your fuel consumption. It is important to
use correctly adapted tires with proper
tire pressure. Check the tire pressure at
every refueling. Incorrect tire pressure
results in increased tire wear and
increased fuel consumption. Check the
wheel axle settings on a regular basis at
a Mack Trucks dealership.
