DRIVING TIPS
Fuel consumption, engine, transmission,
brake and tyre wear are mainly affected by
below factors:
Operating conditions of your vehicle •
Your personal driving style •
Operating Conditions
Avoid frequent start and stop as these •
increase fuel consumptions.
Always make sure that the tyre pres- •
sures are correct.
Do not carry any unnecessary weight. •
Regularly, service your vehicle and ad- •
here to the recommended service
maintenance schedule.
Personal Driving Style
Do not press the accelerator pedal •
while starting the engine.
Do not warm up the engine when the •
vehicle is stationary.
Always adapt your driving style to suit •
the prevailing road, weather condi-
tions, and maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front. Drive care-
fully.
Avoid frequent, sudden acceleration •
and braking.
Select appropriate gear according to •
varying speeds and load conditions.
Switch ‘OFF’ the engine in stationary •
traffic or at signals.
Keep an eye on the vehicle’s fuel con- •
sumption.
Driving safety systems are merely aids •
designed to assist driving. You are re-
sponsible for the distance to the vehi-
cle in front, for vehicle speed and
anticipating braking in good time.
Recommended Fuel Economy
Speeds (MT only)
Good Driving Practices
Slow down before shifting to a lower •
gear. This will help avoiding revving of
the engine causing damage (for MT).
Avoid frequent brake application which •
can cause overheating of brakes.
Slow down the vehicle speed while •
travelling in cross winds. This gives
much better control over the vehicle.
Avoid high speed when cornering or •
turning.
Press the clutch fully while shifting •
NOTE
Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal
while driving.
WARNING
You could lose control of your vehicle if
you try to adjust the driver’s seat, head
restraint, mirror, steering wheel and fas-
ten the seat belt while driving. There is
a risk of an accident.
