WARNING
DO NOT look at the Instrument Cluster
Display for prolonged periods while the
vehicle
is moving. Only glance at the
monitor briefly while driving. Failure to
do so can result in the driver not being
attentive to the vehicle’s road position
or situation, which could lead to an ac-
cident and possible death, personal in-
jury, or equipment damage.
Maintenance factors affecting fuel
consumption:
•
Air and/or fuel filters partially
clogged
• Engine valves out of adjustment
• Injection pump improperly
synchronized
• Injection nozzles defective or
uncalibrated
• Improperly inflated tires
• Wheel bearings improperly
adjusted
• Clutch improperly adjusted or worn
(slipping)
• Fuel leaks
Wrong driving habits must be corrected
and the recommendations on economic
driving should be followed. Driving factors
affecting fuel consumption:
• Excessive speed and unnecessary
fast acceleration
• Long periods of idling
• Driving with foot resting on the
(manual transmission) clutch pedal
General Condition
Other factors affecting fuel consumption
are related to loads and the type of roads
on which the vehicle operates. It is not
always possible to choose the most
adequate road, but the ideal road is the
one that allows a steady speed in high
gear, without requiring frequent braking
and acceleration. The following general
conditions can affect fuel consumption:
• Overload
• Unbalanced load
• Very high load
• Inadequate roads
• Traffic conditions
Stopping the Vehicle
A hot engine stores a great amount of
heat. It doesn’t cool down immediately
after you shut it off. Always cool your
engine down before shutting it off. You will
greatly increase its service life.
Idle the engine at 1,000 rpm for five
minutes. Then low idle for 30 seconds
before shutdown. This will allow circulating
coolant and lubricating oil to carry away
heat from the cylinder head, valves,
pistons, cylinder liners, turbocharger, and
bearings. This way you can prevent
serious engine damage that may result
from uneven cooling.
DRIVING - Stopping the Vehicle
The digital display provides information to
help the driver optimize vehicle efficiency.
See Trip Summary on page 75 for more
information. A driver will find the section
describing Trip Information and the rpm
detail useful.
Fuel Consumption
The vehicle's fuel consumption is
connected to five important factors:
maintenance, driving habits, general
condition of the road, traffic conditions, and
vehicle load.
Proper maintenance will keep the vehicle
running like new even after long periods of
use. The driver must perform the daily and
weekly checks of the vehicle.
