Off-road Driving

Do not Drive in the Field Covered
with Grown Grass
Do not drive in the field covered with grown
grass If you drive in the field covered with
grass, it may cause accident or fire or vehi-
cle damage by getting caught in grown
grass.
WARNING
If loose grass, etc. becomes entan-
gled in drive train parts or exhaust
pipes, drive train components might
become damaged or fire may result.

Improving Fuel Economy

NOTE:
Fuel economy (mileage) of the vehicle may
vary due to several factors i.e. driving hab-
its-gear change pattern, usage of A.C, Air
pressure in the tyres, wind speed, traffic
conditions, fuel quality-non adulterated
standard fuel, maintenance of vehicle,
road conditions, braking etc.
The following instructions will help you
improve fuel economy.
Keep Tyre Pressures Correct
Under-inflation of the tyres can waste fuel
due to increased running resistance of the
tyres. Keep your tyres inflated to the cor-
69RHS181
rect pressure shown on the label on the
driver's side door or the driver's door lock
pillar.
Keep Weight to a Minimum
The heavier the load is, the more fuel the
vehicle consumes. Unload any unneces-
sary luggage or cargo.
Avoid Excessive idling
If you park your vehicle for more than one
minute, stop the engine and start it again
later. When warming up a cold engine, do
not allow the engine to idle or apply full
throttle until the engine has reached oper-
ating temperature. Allow the engine to
warm up by driving.
ADVICE FOR YOUR DRIVING
Avoid Fast Starts, Rapid Accelera-
tion and Hard Braking
Avoid fast starts
Fast starts away from lights or stop signs
will consume fuel unnecessarily and
shorten engine life. Start off slowly.
Avoid unnecessary stops
Avoid unnecessary deceleration and stop-
ping. Try to maintain a moderate, steady
speed whenever possible. Slowing down
and then accelerating again uses more
fuel.
Keep a steady cruising speed
Drive at a constant speed that road and
traffic conditions will permit.
