Driving Tips To Maximize Fuel Efficiency
 
  Drive away immediately on starting the engine even during early morning starts. The advanced 32-bit microprocessor is programmed for automatic cold start and engine warm up. Hence there is no need to warm the engine by keeping the car idle. Just drive away gently without accelerating too much.
 
In traffic or at signals, switch off the car when standstill is expected to be longer than 30 seconds. The 32-bit microprocessor in your car will ensure first-time restart for a quick getaway  
 
  The high torque delivered at low rpm by your car engine allows you to shift gears smoothly and quickly. Try to engage the 5th gear, at 45 - 50 kmph.Drive smoothly and avoid sudden braking and acceleration.
 
When accelerating, first shift down to a lower gear and then accelerate gradually. Do not floor the pedal directly in a higher gear.  
 
  Always drive your car at steady speeds of 50 - 60 kmph in the 5th gear. Fuel consumption increases at speeds above 60 kmph.
 
Use the clutch pedal only while shifting gears. Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal or press it partially while driving.  
  Keep air mode on recycled position for better cooling and lesser load on the engine Reduce the blower rpm once you reach the desired cabin temperature.
 
On slopes use the parking brake instead of the foot brake.
