Personal Attention to the vehicle
The following actions on your own initiative are required immediately if the vehicle is used in the conditions described below;
(1) After running on sea shores or roads spread with salt, the vehicle must be washed throughly with fresh - water.
(2) After running in very deep mud, inside of brake drums must be washed and cleaned.
(3) After running in water above axle height, differential gear oil must be changed.
DRIVING TIPS FOR FUEL ECONOMY   • Keep your tires inflated at correct pressure. Under – inflation causes tires to wear and wastes fuel. • Avoid lengthy warm up idling. In winter this may take a little longer. However once the engine is running smoothly, begin driving. • Accelerate slowly and smoothly. Avoid jack – rabbit starts and unnecessary sudden acceleration or braking. Get into high gear as soon as possible. • Avoid long and unnecessary engine idling. If you have a long wait and you are not into traffic, it is better to turn off the engine and start again later. • Avoid engine stress or over revving. Do not rest your foot on the accelerator pedal, for short period stoppages, for example at a signal. • Do not rest your foot on the clutch or brake pedal. This causes needless wear, over heating and poor fuel economy. • Maintain a moderate speed on highways. The faster you drive greater the fuel consumption. By reducing your speed you will cut down on fuel consumption. • Ensure proper wheel alignment. Avoid hitting the curb and slow down on rough roads. Improper alignment not only causes faster tire wear but also puts an extra load on the engine, which in turn wastes fuel. • Avoid unnecessary stopping and braking. Maintain a steady pace, keep a proper distance from other vehicles to avoid sudden braking. This will also reduce your brakes from wearing. • A/C usage increases fuel consumption, Operate the lever on re-circulate position to optimize cooling. • Always use Genuine Parts including A/C. Non- Genuine parts affect fuel-consumption, can be dangerous and can cause accidents. • Keep your vehicle tuned-up and in top shape, A dirty air cleaner, out of adjustment carburetor, dirty plugs dirty oil and grease, brakes unadjusted etc., all lower engine performance and increase fuel consumption.
