Starting & Driving
Check and Service
Have the Vehicle Regularly Serviced
Regular servicing will ensure optimum fuel consumption
and minimize exhaust pollutants, as well as effectively
extending the service life of the car.
Check Tyre Pressures Regularly
Under-inflated tyres increase the rolling resistance of the
car which, in turn, increases fuel consumption. Over or
under-inflated tyres wear out more rapidly and also have a
detrimental effect on the car's handling characteristics.
Do not Carry Unnecessary Loads
The additional weight of unnecessary loads wastes fuel,
especially in stop/start conditions where the car is
frequently required to set off from stationary.
Maintain Correct Four-Wheel Alignment
Maintain the correct wheel alignment. Avoid collisions with
the kerb and reduce speed on uneven road surfaces. Out of
specification wheel alignment will not only lead to excessive
tyre wear, but also increases the load and fuel consumption.
