STARTING & DRIVING
Maintenance
Have the vehicle regularly serviced
Regular servicing will ensure optimum fuel consumption
and minimize exhaust pollutants, as well as effectively
extending the service life of the car.
Check tyre pressures regularly
Under-inlated tyres increase the rolling resistance of the
car which, in turn, increases fuel consumption. Over or
under-inlated tyres wear out more rapidly and also have a
detrimental effect on the car’s handling characteristics.
Do not carry unnecessary loads
The additional weight of unnecessary loads wastes fuel,
especially in stop/start conditions where the car is
frequently required to set off from stationary.
