Use the car AC only when you require. •
For cooling, keep the blower speeds
low, as at higher blower speeds, the
AC consumes more electric power
which is ultimately drawn from engine
by burning fuel.
Avoid unnecessary extra electrical •
loading on the car.
Stop the engine wisely at traffic sig- •
nals. Switch ‘OFF’ the engine at the
traffic signal only if the stoppage time
is high (typically more than 30 sec).
When you drive on highways, close all •
the windows. This reduces the drag on
the vehicle and improves fuel effi-
ciency.
Do not over speed. Follow the speed •
limits. With increasing speed, the en-
gine rpm increases to overcome exter-
nal air resistance and this reduces fuel
efficiency.
Running-in Period
The purpose of running in a car is to give
time for the mechanical parts to settle so
that they work efficiently. This involves
gentle acceleration and not revving the en-
gine too much. This is done by changing
gears early for the first 1,500 – 1,800 km.
This will increase the life of the engine.
The more you look after the engine when
it is new, the more satisfied you will be with
its performance in the future.
Do not exceed the following road speeds
during running in period.
Avoid heavy loads, e.g. driving at full throt-
tle, during this period. Change gears judi-
ciously.
