5. Driving guide
5.7.4 Efficient use of vehicle
- Before driving, make sure that the parking
brake is completely released and the
parking brake indicator lamp is off.
- Maintain sufficient tire pressure, as a too
low tire pressure can cause premature tire
wear and higher fuel consumption.
- Ensure that the wheel alignment
is accurate. Otherwise it will cause
premature tire wear, increased engine
load and higher fuel consumption.
- Do not overload the vehicle, and unload
unnecessary items from the vehicle, as
excessive load will increase the engine
load and the fuel consumption thereafter.
- Accelerate the vehicle slowly and
smoothly to avoid rapid acceleration.
- Avoid roads with traffic jams as much
as possible, as driving in traffic jam will
increase the fuel consumption.
- Follow the instructions of traffic lights
or maintain a safe distance with
other vehicles while driving to avoid
unnecessary stop or emergency braking,
so as to save fuel and reduce wear on the
brake system.
- Do not step on the brake pedal when the
vehicle is running, for fear of premature
wear and overheating of brake linings and
waste of fuel.
- When driving, select good road surface.
If driving on uneven roads, control
the vehicle speed to avoid collision or
scratches.
- If the chassis is stained with objects such
as excessive dirt, clean them in time to
reduce the vehicle’s weight and prevent
corrosion.
- Perform regular maintenance on the
vehicle to maintain its optimal working
condition, as dirty air cleaner, spark
plugs, oil, and grease will reduce the
engine performance and increase fuel
consumption.
- When starting the engine at a low
temperature, drive slowly for a few
minutes, and ensure the engine is
warmed up before acceleration.
- Do not open windows when driving at high
speed.
- Properly use the A/C, etc.
- In case of parking for a long time, please
shut down the engine to avoid wasting
fuel due to long time idling of engine.
