Good driving practices
 Slow down before you shift to a lower
gear. This helps the engine to keep a
lower rpm and result in less wear and
tear of the engine components.
 Avoid frequent brake application
which can cause overheating of
brakes.
 Slow down the vehicle when you
drive in cross winds to get better con-
trol over the vehicle.

economy
turning.
