Start driving immediately after starting, when cold, every engine needs more fuel. Therefore, warm the engine gently to operating temperature. This protects the environment and the wallet. Drive with foresight and as constant as possible, Acceleration phases only as long as required. The vehicle uses less fuel when driving at a constant speed.

Avoid unnecessary gear changes, skip gears if possible. The motto is: "Shift up early, shift down late".  Drive in the highest possible gear. Switch off the engine when it is not running. In the case of short waiting times, it should be borne in mind that each starting process causes wear on the engine, starter and battery.

The indicator in the dashboard notifies if you need to refuel. If the light is on then the fuel tank is almost empty, a fuel shortage can turn into an unwanted expense. Refuel in the nearest gas station. You can still drive around 15-18 miles depending on the manufacturer.

These facilities ensure the driver is in a comfortable state therefore more concentrated on the road. In this way costly and time-consuming damage can be avoided
