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 control over
the vehicle.
•
Avoid high speed when cornering or
turning.
•
Press the clutch fully while shifting
gears.
Economy
•
Make sure that vehicle is completely
stationary before you attempt to shift in
Petrol
reverse gear.
•
Drive slowly on wet roads.

Tips For Obtaining Better Fuel Effi-
ciency
•
Always maintain the specified tyre
pressure during fuel top-ups and also
before a long trip. Vehicle running with
low tyre pressure will consume more
fuel than the one running with specified
tyre pressure.
•
Keep the vehicle clean. Get rid of the
unwanted stuff lying in the boot etc., to
reduce weight.
•
Regularly inspect your vehicle for any
leakages, worn out wires by rat bites
etc.
STARTING AND DRIVING
•
Always follow periodic & regular serv-
ice schedule of the vehicle.
•
In places with high dust content (e.g.:
Gurgaon, Jaisalmer etc.), Clean the air
filter element at every 5000 km.
•
Anticipate the road conditions and
drive in a smooth manner.
•
Do not accelerate excessively when
you are in lower gears (1
gentle on the accelerator when you are
in traffic. In lower gears, opening up
the throttle will increase the engine
rpm while keeping the vehicle at lower
speeds. This reduces the fuel effi-
ciency of the vehicle.
•
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
