DRIVING
FRIENDLY TIPS TO IMPROVE FUEL
ECONOMY :
Your vehicle's fuel economy is mainly
dependent on your style of driving.
To operate your vehicle as
economically as possible, adhere
to following driving suggestions.
Avoid Excessive Idling :
Shut Off the engine if you have to
wait for more than a minute while
you are in traffic.
Avoid fast starts and unnecessary
stops :
Start off slowly from traffic lights or
stop signs to prevent increased fuel
consumption and shortening of
engine life. Avoid unnecessary
deceleration (stopping or slowing
down) and then acceleration which
uses more fuel.
Always maintain clean air-filter:
The amount of air supplied will
reduce due to clogged air-filter,
resulting in loss of power and fuel
economy.
Maintain correct tyre pressures:
Under-inflated tyres result in
increased running resistance of the
tyres, leading to wastage of fuel.
(Refer tyre maintenance section)
Proper Driving Practices :
Keep a safe distance from other
vehicles to avoid braking suddenly.
NOTICE
Do not rest your foot on the clutch
pedal. It does not allow full
engine power to be transmitted
to the vehicle and reduces clutch
life.
Fuel economy speeds :
Always adhere to following fuel
economy speeds.
Gear Speed (kmph)
1st 10
2nd 20 - 30
3rd 30 - 50
4th 50 - 70
FUEL CUT-IN / CUT-OFF STRATEGY:
The ECU has been programmed to
limit the following speed of the
vehicle.
Gear
Petrol Petrol
Above Below
low level low level
1st 35 35 30
2nd 60 60 55
3rd 90 90 75
4th 105 105 105
As a good driving practice, always
shift to a higher gear before reaching
the speed limit specified for that
gear. In case the gear is not shifted
and you continue to drive in the
same gear beyond the specified
speed, the ECU will activate the fuel
cut-off strategy and restrict vehicle
speed to the specified limit. This is
to ensure optimum fuel efficiency
and prolonged engine life.
