(1) Speed
Avoid rapid acceleration, sudden starts,
and maximum speed driving; such
operation will result in more fuel con-
sumption.
D170C01P-GAT
(2) Shifting
Shift only at an appropriate vehicle
speed and engine rpm.
Always use the highest gear possible.
Fuel consumption depends largely on
the manner in which vehicle is driven
but it is also affected by other driving
conditions.
D170D01P-GAT
(3) City traffic
Frequent starting and stopping in-
creases the average fuel consump-
tion. Use roads with smooth traffic flow
whenever possible. When driving on
congested roads, avoid use of a low
gear at high engine rpm.
D170E01P-GAT
(4) Idling
The vehicle consumes fuel even dur-
ing idling. Avoid extended idling when-
ever possible.
D170F01P-GAT
(5) High speed
The higher the vehicles speed, the
more fuel consumed. Avoid driving at
full speed. Even a slight release of the
accelerator pedal will save significant
amount of fuel.
D170G01P-GAT
(6) Tire inflation pressure
Check the tire inflation pressure at
regular intervals. Low tire inflation pres-
sures increase road resistance and
fuel consumption. In addition, low tire
pressures adversely affect tire wear
and driving control.
STARTING AND OPERATING
D170H01P-GAT
(7) Load
Do not drive with unnecessary articles
in the luggage compartment.
Especially during city driving where
frequent starting and stopping is nec-
essary, the increased weight of the
vehicle will greatly affect fuel consump-
tion.
Also avoid driving with unnecessary
luggage, etc., on the roof; the increased
air resistance will cause more fuel
consumption.
D170I01P-GAT
(8) Cold engine starting
Starting of a cold engine consumes
more fuel. Unnecessary fuel consump-
tion is also caused by keeping a hot
engine running. After the engine is
started, begin driving soon.
