How to Improve Your Mileage

🔄

Check tyre pressure monthly

Under-inflated tyres can drop mileage by 3–4%.

Use Eco drive mode in city

Eco mode softens throttle response in stop-start traffic.

⚡

Avoid long idling

Turn the engine off at halts longer than 60 seconds.

✈️

Service the air filter on time

A clogged filter forces the engine to work harder.

📋

Load light, roof clear

Roof racks and excess cargo increase drag and weight.

〰️

Smooth acceleration

Gentle throttle inputs reduce fuel-heavy spikes.
