FUEL ECONOMY
DRIVING
Proper Driving Practices :
Keep a safe distance from other
vehicles to avoid braking suddenly.
NOTE
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 (MT) :
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 speed of the vehicle to
35
km/h in 1
st
gear, 60 km/h in 2
nd
gear,
90 km/h in 3
rd
gear and 105 km/h
in 4
th
gear. 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.
