FUEL ECONOMY

Saving in fuel consumption

Four main factors in fuel consumption

1-Mechanical conditions of the engine:

Air filter: Dirty or obstructed air filter

reduces the efficiency of the engine.

Change the air filters at defined Distances.

2- Fuel system:

Check the injector system and fuel pump

for any leaking.

Petrol: Quality of petrol not only effects

the consumption of fuel, but also, in long

terms, effects the mechanical conditions

and operation of your car.

3- Conditions of the vehicle:

Air pressure of the tires:

Lack of enough air pressure in the tires,

increases in fuel consumptions by 3%.

Carrying weights:

Carrying 100 kg of weight inside the city,

will increase the fuel consumptions by 3%.

4- Resistance against the wind:

Driving with empty roof weight space ,

increases in fuel consumptions by 10%.

Therefore immediately after finishing

your job with roof weight space take it out

along with wind breaker and it’s mirrors.

During Driving void opening the windows.

it is better if you use the air vent channels.

WARNING

Do not place your car, when engine is

still running, in spaces which there is

possibility of contact with inflammable

substances .(like dry grass, leaves,...)

CAUTIONS

The suitable petrol in your car, is the

super petrol without plumb with figure

of Octane of 95.

FUEL ECONOMY

Saving in fuel consumption

-Driving:

Starting to move: Do not intend to drive

fast, immediately after starting of engine.

Drive slowly. Do not warm up the engine

when you are not moving, but try to drive

first few kilometers with average speed

until the engine warms up.

Revolution per minute (RPM):

Driving with too high or too low RPM will

increase in fuel consumption. To avoid

unnecessary increase of RPM, quickly

use the higher gear. Always use the gear

which is suitable with the road conditions

and calm driving conditions. Avoid sudden

acceleration.

Before reduction of speed in a sloped

road, and before over taking and

accelerating, come down to lower gear.

(specially from gear no.5)

Electrical devices: Use the electrical

equipments, only when you need them.

The rear glass heater, to remove sweating

and freezing of the glass, increase in fuel

consumption by 10 %.

The weather and road conditions:

Short distances: if the engine is cold in

first 5 kilometer of driving, it will increase

in fuel consumption by 25 %.

Spinal and unsmooth roads:

Driving in such roads, will increase in fuel

consumption by 10 %.

Wind: Existence of wind during driving

will increase the fuel consumption .

Drop your speed in these situations. The

optimum fuel consumption takes place in

speed of 90 kilometer per hour.

WARNING

-To avoid excessive increase in RPM, in

RPMs more than 6500, the fuel injection

to the engine will be disconnected.

-Never put the engine under pressure

before warming up. (Do not drive speedy)

If the engine dose not stop with the

switch key, push on the brake pedal,

engage the gear and leave your foot

from clutch until the engine turns off.

water temperature of 25 °C, this time will be

equal to 150 seconds, while under higher

temperatures the conversion time will be

shorter), the CNG indicator will stop blinking

and the light comes on permanently. This

implies that the fuel conversion has taken

place completely. Now the engine is working

on CNG mode .

NOTE

In the event the engine REV is higher

than 4000 revolutions per minute and

it is accelerating up at the moment the

conversion button is pressed down, the

LED indicator will start blinking and the

engine will remain on CNG as long as it

has not left the REV domain, after which it

will convert to gasoline.

In the event the engine REV is higher

than 4,000 revolution per minute and it

is accelerating on up, by pressing of the

conversion button, the indicator on the

LED will start blinking and the engine will

remain on gasoline as long as it has not

left the REV domain, after which it will

convert to CNG. It is worth mentioning

CNG will take place automatically without

the need to press the conversion button.

Conversion from Gas to Gasoline*

By pressing the fuel conversion button,

in the case that there is no engine failure

and enough gasoline in the fuel tank,

the director on the instrument panel will

light off. This implies that the conversion

from CNG to gasoline has done properly.

It is necessary to remind that under the

two following circumstances , the engine

will automatically convert from CNG

to gasoline option( no need to press

conversion button) :

- Breakdown of CNG consumption system

- Non- availability of sufficient gasoline in
