giving below a few tips for your

accelerations.

trend, get the car immediately
attended at our Authorised

Switch off the engine during long
stops at traffic jams or signals. If the

kept running, avoid frequent
revving up of the engine. Also
avoid frequent stopping and
restarting, if uncalled for.

It is not necessary to rev up the
engine before turning it off as it
unnecessarily burns the fuel.
