DRIVING TIPS
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 overrevving. Do not rest your foot on the accelerator pedal, for short period stoppages, for example at a signal. Use appropriate gears according to your speed as indicated below. 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 the 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. Quantity and quality of fuel. Try to keep a track on the quantity and quality of fuel. Keep the bottom of your vehicle free from mud, etc. This not only lessens weight but also helps prevent corrosion. A/C usage increases fuel consumption. Operate the lever on recirculate position to optimize cooling. Two A/C settings are available in Cuore: "Mild" (Economy) & "Full" Mode. Choose according to your level of comfort desired. It is recommended that "Mild" mode be used in the morning & night time. Always use Genuine Parts including A/C. Non-Genuine Parts effect fuel-consumption and can be dangerous. Keep your vehicle tuned-up and in top shape. A dirty air cleaner, carburetor out of adjustment, dirty plugs, dirty oil and grease, brakes unadjusted etc. all lower engine performance and contribute to poor fuel economy. For longer life of all parts and lower operating costs maintain your vehicle on schedule. (Please insist on genuine parts during (pre-journey) maintenance service). TRAVELLING INTER- CITY, ON HIGHWAYS &/OR ON THE MOTORWAY 1. Plan your journey. Equip yourself with road maps. Ensure that you are carrying your vehicle documents, owners manual & warranty booklet.
