Move at a moderate speed. The higher the speed of the car, the more it consumes fuel. Driving at a moderate speed, especially on highways, is one of the most effective ways to reduce fuel consumption.
Do not keep your foot on the brake or clutch pedal. This will lead to an increase in fuel consumption, as well as to an increase in the wear of parts of these assemblies.
Watch your car's tires. Maintain the recommended air pressure in the tires. Incorrect air pressure in tires, either too low or too high, leads to premature tire wear. Check tire pressure at least once a month.
Check wheel alignment. Incorrect wheel alignment can lead to heavy wear in the form of spots («bald spots») on the protector. It can also lead to increased tire wear and increased fuel consumption.
Smooth cornering
Avoid braking or shifting when cornering, especially on wet roads. It is best to take corners with a little acceleration.
Driving in winter conditions
More severe operating conditions in winter lead to more wear and tear and other problems.
Driving in deep snow may require winter tires or snow chains. If winter tires are required, choose tires of standard type and size. Failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and handling of the vehicle. Driving fast, hard acceleration, braking or cornering is very dangerous. When braking, use engine braking as much as possible. Sudden braking on snowy and icy roads can cause your vehicle to skid. Maintain a clear distance from the vehicle in front and depress the brake pedal slowly. Installing snow chains will provide more cross-country ability, but will not prevent side skids.
Note. The use of snow chains may be prohibited by local regulations in some regions (countries). Learn and follow the laws and regulations in force in the region (country), before using snow chains.
