FUEL ECONOMY
NOTICE
Do not engage four wheel drive mode (4H or 4L)
continuously on dry and hard road surface. It can cause
expensive damage to the vehicle transmission and the
tyres.
Four wheel drive facility is a powerful tool which enables
the vehicle to traverse terrain which is otherwise
inaccessible to two wheel drive vehicles. However, it must
be used judiciously and carefully. Do not take unnecessary
risks and attempt the impossible. Familiarise yourself
thoroughly with the vehicle and its abilities before
attempting serious off road driving.
With ignition ‘ON’ 4H & 4L indicator lamp on panel should
glow for a few seconds only & then go off. Continuous
illumination of 4L & 4H lamps indicates electrical fault.
Fuel Economy
A.
Drive smoothly, accelerate gradually and anticipate stops.
B.
Best fuel consumption is achieved at low engine speeds, the
highest possible gear without labouring the engine.
C.
Driving with accelerator pedal fully depressed means using
excessive fuel.
D.
Do not allow engine to labour. Change to lower gear when
engine no longer runs smoothly.
E.
If possible, do not idle the engine for more than 2 minutes.
Switch off the engine.
F.
Do not ride the clutch OR brake pedal while driving. Do not
use clutch pedal as foot rest.
G*
.When changing from 4H/4L to 2H of transfer case, 2H free
wheeling should be done.
If 2H free wheeling is not done the hub locks of front hub
remain locked causing unnecessary rotation of front drive
components and this consumes more fuel and causes wear
and tear of front axle components.
H.
Depending on traffic conditions, a constant speed should
be maintained.
The vehicle uses more fuel, every time you speed up or slow
down.
I.
Hard braking, abrupt cornering and rapid acceleration use
more fuel. Avoid these.
J.
Do not carry unnecessary weight in the vehicle.
K.
Maintain moderate speed limits, while driving.
L.
Always ensure that front wheel alignment is proper.
