.4 Efficient Use of the Ve -
hicle
• Maintain the correct tire pressure. Insuf -
ficient tire pressure results in tire wear
and waste of fuel. For tire pressure
parameters(
please see page 337
).
• Make sure the wheel alignment is ac -
curate. Inaccurate wheel alignment can
cause the tires wear out faster, increase
the engine load and waste fuel.
• Avoid loading unnecessary weight in
your vehicle. Excess weight increases
the engine load, resulting in significant
fuel consumption.
• Slowly accelerate speed, and avoid sud -
den start. Try to drive in a higher gear as
soon as possible.
• Try to avoid traffic jam to prevent con -
tinuous acceleration and deceleration as
well as stop-go which cause fuel waste.
• Avoid unnecessary parking and braking
and keep a stable vehicle speed. Try to
drive by matching up the traffic lights to
minimize the number of stops, or take
advantage of thoroughfares without traf-
fic lights. Keep an appropriate vehicle-
to-vehicle distance to avoid emergency
braking. This will reduce wear of the
brake.
• Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal.
Doing so can cause early wear, over-
heating or fuel waste.
• Avoid hitting curbs while driving. Slow
down when driving on rugged roads.
• Don't let the chassis stick mud. This can
reduce self-weight of the car and prevent
corrosion.
• Adjust the vehicle to keep it in the best
working condition. Dirty air filter, improp -
er valve clearance, dirty spark plugs,
dirty oil and grease, etc., will reduce
engine performance and waste fuel. To
extend the service life of all components
and reduce operating costs, be sure to
perform scheduled maintenance. Main-
tain your vehicle more frequently if you
often drive under a severe condition.
Fuel-efficient driving
Fuel-efficient driving can not only save fuel but
also protect environment.
• After cold start, you can drive away slow -
ly for several minutes. Do not accelerate
until the engine warms up.
• Unload the unnecessary cargoes before
driving.
• Keep the tire pressure properly.
• Try to drive on good roads.
• Avoid rapid acceleration. Press the ac -
celerator pedal gently. Do not press the
accelerator pedal hard when starting or
press the brake pedal hard to stop.
• Do not drive at high speed with the win -
dows open.
• Use the air-conditioning, audio system
and other properly.
• Close all doors unnecessary to open.
• If you need to park your vehicle for an
extended period of time, shut off the en-
gine and prevent the engine from idling
for a prolonged time.
• Drive on level road surfaces at economic
speed.
• Always drive in an appropriate gear
based on the running speed. Do not
drive in a low gear at high speed.
• Be sure to maintain your vehicle as per
the scheduled maintenance.
