These can save you hundreds of Ringgit a year in fuel cost, and you can help preserving global environment.
-
Check the tyre pressures regularly
Make sure your tyres are properly inflated according to the recommendation to reduce rolling resistance. Keep your Isuzu D-Max tire pressure at 29 psi (Front ) and 32 psi (rear ).
-
Avoid aggresive driving
Avoid rapid starts and hard braking. Accelerate gently and smoothly, then get into high gear as quickly as possible. Maintain engine speed at sensible ranges to avoid over-revving especially during gear changes that will in turn waste more fuel.
-
Select the right gear
For manual transmissions, change up through the gears and into top gear as soon as possible without accelerating harder then necessary. Driving in a gear lower than you need wastes fuel. Automatic transmissions will shift up more quickly and smoothly if you ease back slightly on the accelerator once the car gathers momentum.
- Drive at a steady speed
Most vehicles posses a certain steady speed ranges that if cautiously adhered to will result in good fuel consumption. The best fuel-efficient speed range for the Isuzu D-Max is between 60km/hr to 80km/hr while maintaining the engine RPM at the range of 1500 to 2000. Driving at speeds MORE or LESS than this bracket could result in less kilometers traveled for the same amount of fuel burned.
- Think "aerodynamic" and "lightweight"
Keep windows all rolled up to reduce drag. Remove excess weight or unnecessary items from inside the vehicle or cargo bed. Regularly wash, polish and keep your D-Max clean to keep the aerodynamics of the car at top notch!

Never miss out on your scheduled maintenance service according to the service manuals provided. Send your vehicle to your nearest Isuzu Malaysia Authorized Service Centre to get the best technical know-how and most important, to get Isuzu Genuine Parts.
