Important steps before driving
Comments on the optimal
performance of the vehicle
The amount of fuel consump-
tion depends on the driving
method, and its time and place.
Use the following suggestions
to reduce the fuel consumption
of the vehicle and to reach its
economical performance.
- Do not warm up the engine for
a long time while the vehicle is
stopped.
- Remember that when it is cold,
the engine warms up within lon-
ger time.
- When you start to drive, accel-
erate the vehicle slowly.
- Make sure the engine is al-
ways tuned up, and follow the
recommended periodic mainte-
nance schedule to increase the
life time of the vehicle parts.
- Do not use the air conditioning
system if it is not necessary. - When driving on the unsmooth
roads reduce your speed.
- To increase the life time of tires
and reducing fuel consumption,
keep them to the standard pres-
sure.
- Maintain a safe distance from
the front vehicle to prevent from
sudden brakes and the wearing
of brake pads and the tires. This
reduces the fuel consumption
when reaccelerating.
- Remove unnecessary loads
from your vehicle.
- While driving do not put your
foot on the brake pedal to rest.
This will cause the brake pads
to wear and the fuel consump-
tion to increase.
- If the front wheels are not in the
correct alignment, the tires will
wear and the power will reduce,
resulting in the fuel consumption
increase.
- Being open of the windows at
high speeds increases the fuel
consumption.
- Opposite wind direction in driv-
ing increases fuel consumption.
In this condition, it is better to
drive at low speed.
