STARTING AND DRIVING
80

Be in the maximum possible higher
gear at a given speed. This reduces
the engine operating speeds which
means the engine is running at lower
rpm (Revolutions per Minute) for the
same vehicle speed. Lesser the num-
ber of engine revolution lesser the
fuel burned.

Avoid harsh braking.

Maintain healthy driving habits &
while decelerating, do coasting in
gear and not in neutral or with clutch
pedal depressed.

Consider using the car AC when you
really require. Consider using lower
blower speeds rather than higher for
cooling as at higher blower speeds it
consumes more electric power
which is ultimately drawn from en-
gine by burning fuel.

Avoid unnecessary extra electrical
loading on the car.

Stop the engine wisely at traffic sig-
nals. Switch ‘OFF’ the engine at the
traffic signal only if the stoppage
time is high (typically more than
30
sec).

While driving on highways, drive with
windows closed. The more you open
the windows the higher will be the
resistance to the vehicle at higher
speeds which will reduce the fuel ef-
ficiency.

Do not over speed; follow the speed
limits. More the speed, higher the ex-
ternal resistance on the vehicle
which will finally result into unneces-
sary consumption of fuel.
Running-in period (For MT)
The more you look after the engine when
it is new, the more satisfied you will be
with its performance in the future.
Avoid rapid acceleration and prolonged
high speed running of the engine for the
first
1,500
–
1,800
kms.
Do not exceed the following road speeds
during running in period.
Gear
Diesel Petrol
Speed(km/h) Speed(km/h)
1 20 20
2 30 40
3 50 60
4 70 80
5 90 100
Avoid heavy loads, e.g. driving at full
throttle, during this period. Change
gears judiciously.
NOTE
Avoid excessive revving up of en-
gine rpm. Do not keep engine at
idling for long duration.
