other vehicles to avoid sudden braking.
Acceleration Slowly & Smoothly:

2 Quick Reference Guide
Use the Air Conditioner Smartly:
Drive with open window for a short while before using the
AC. Letting hot air out of the cabin first will put less demand
on the AC and help your vehicle cool faster.
Keep the Bottom of Your Vehicle Free from Mud:
Keeping the underbody of the vehicle clean not only lessens
weight but also helps to prevent corrosion.
Use the Recommended Grade of Motor Oil:
For better fuel economy uses the recommended grade of
motor oil which is mentioned in the owner's manual.
Use Reputed Fuel Stations:
For good fuel quality, use reputed fuel stations. Don't use
adulterated fuel.
Keep the Front Wheels in Proper Alignment:
Avoid hitting the kurb and slow down on rough roads.
Improper alignment not only causes faster tire wear but also
puts an extra load on the engine, which in turn, wastes fuel.
