Fuel saving

Driving custom
Moderate  driving  is  helpful  to  save  fuel.
Rapid  acceleration,  abrupt  cornering  and
hard braking use more fuel.

Always drive in the highest gear possible, it
can  make  the  engine  run  and  accelerate
more stably.

According to the traffic status, try to keep a
constant  speed.  Every  time  you  slow  down
and  speed  up,  you  vehicle  uses  extra  fuel.
Using  cruise  control  (limit  to  some  vehicle
type)  can  save  more  fuel  under  appropriate
driving condition.

Cool engine uses more fuel than hot engine,
but it is not necessary to make it run in idle
speed  for  a  long  time  to  preheating.  NO
matter how cold outdoor, you can drive the
vehicle away after one minute that you start
the  engine.  In  this  way,  engine  will  rise
temperature  more  quickly,  and  save  more
fuel. To reduce times of ―cool starting‖, you
should  arrange  short  mileage  driving
together.

The  air  condition  puts  an  extra  loading  on
the  engine  which  makes  it  use  more  fuel.
Close  the  air  condition  to  reduce  fuel
consumption.  Use  the  fresh-air  ventilation
when  air  temperature  out  of  vehicle  is
proper.
