ECONOMICAL OPERATION

Your car's fuel economy is mainly dependent
on your style of driving.
How you drive, where you drive, and when
you drive has an effect on how many kilo-
meters you can get from a liter of fuel.
To obtain maximum fuel economy from your
car:
• Start gradually and accelerate gently.
• Avoid excessive and unnecessary
idling.
• Keep your engine properly tuned.
• Do not race the engine.
• Use the air conditioning only when nec-
essary.
• Slow down when driving on rough
roads.
• Always keep your tyres inflated to the
recommended pressure for longer tyre
life and optimum fuel economy.
• Keep your distance from other vehicles
to avoid sudden stops. This will reduce
wear on brake linings and improve
economy as extra fuel is required to
accelerate back up to driving speed.
• Do not carry unnecessary weight in the
vehicle.
• Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal
while driving. This can cause needless
wear, possible damage to the brakes
and poor fuel economy.
• Always ensure your vehicle is maintained
to the manufacturer's specification.
STARTING AND OPERATING 2–27
ENGINE EXHAUST GAS
CAUTION (CARBON MONOXIDE)
• Avoid inhaling engine exhaust gases.
Engine exhaust gases contains carbon
monoxide, which has no color or odor.
Carbon monoxide is a dangerous gas.
• It can cause unconsciousness and can
be lethal if inhaled.
• If at any time you suspect that exhaust
gases are entering the vehicle, have the
vehicle inspected and repaired immedi-
ately by a Ssangyong Dealer or
Ssangyong Authorized
Operation. If it is necessary to drive
under such conditions, do so only with
all windows fully open.
• To protect against exhaust gases enter-
ing the vehicle, the exhaust system and
body should be inspected:
- each time the vehicle is raised for an
oil change.
- whenever a change is noticed in the
sound of the exhaust system.
- whenever the exhaust system, under
body or rear of the vehicle is damaged
or becomes corroded.
