There are 2 techniques are appropriate if the steering is as follows:

1. Pull-Push
If the steering is a technique that most basic and safe to use in various situations, both driving at low speed or high.

2. Cross
This technique can be used at low speeds but requires a fairly large turning radius, such as when parking or turning.

5) Braking Technique

One of the features associated with the braking technique is Anti Lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA). ABS function for tires are not locked during braking.

How hard tread brake pedal as he directed cars to a safer place. Function EBD distributes braking power to each wheel based on vehicle load. This mechanism works with the ABS and is very useful when the brakes on road cornering.

In the meantime, BA is useful to increase braking power when brake suddenly. This mechanism works based on the speed of the brake pedal in an emergency. So with a little stamping but fast, the car can stop quickly.

6) Scanning
When he was driving a car, need to pay attention to all road users or road conditions around, such as motorcycles, cars, signs, pedestrians or other important objects that can affect alertness while driving.

7) Blind Spot
Blind Spot is an area that is not seen directly by the rearview mirror, right or left. With these limitations, need to familiarize themselves to do that is by turns Shoulder check to the left or the right moment in the direction you turn.

8) Safe Following Distance
When driving, keep a safe distance ideal car with the car in front which is about 3 seconds. How:
Find a benchmark that is big enough and did not move along the road.
Then when another car in front across the benchmark, the count with the number '1000 and 1, 1000 and 2, 1000 and 3 '.

Make sure the car through the same benchmark at the end of the count. If it is correct, then you meet a safe distance is ideal.


9) Safe Stopping Distance
When stopped the car, make sure the car is sufficient distance so that it can see both rear tires the car in front. This is so easy when there conditions that force you must exit the vehicle queue.

10) Parking
For ease when parking, need to understand and use existing standards on cars.
Fuel Efficiency Tips When Driving:

• Make sure the engine always excellent condition.
 • Keep the engine speed remains low.
• Avoid excessive acceleration and braking.
• Use with engine braking.
• tire air pressure is always normal.
• Use a pump that is credible and accurate.
Turn off the AC when not needed.

Benefits tachometer To Conserve Fuel

Tachometer or bookmark RPM rotation per minutes, certainly not just decorate the dashboard. But the benefit to drivers because it can be a guide to operating a car with frugal.

This is because through a tachometer, the driver will know when the right time to change the gear position. Also, run the vehicle on lap static accordance with the instructions of each manufacturer, can be more menghamat fuel consumption.

Proper replacement teeth done when the engine reaches maximum torque (maximum moment).
Note the technical data of cars and see information about Maximum torque (maximum torque). Manual book contains information about this data. Usually, written with units feet / lbs, feet-pounds, or Newton meters (Nm). Each machine has a different maximum torque. Typically, the rate of torque (moment) is always associated with a number of engine speed (RPM).

For example, technical data on the manual written book Maximum torque: 200 Nm/3.750 rpm. This means that the highest moment of 200 Nm occurs at the time of rotating machines as much as 3750 per minute.
In this example, means you should make the shift gear when the rpm shows the range of 3750 numbers.
Figures RPM on tachometer is also important to note not only when the change gear to a higher position. To streamline fuel consumption, while speeding down the road Keep the engine speed in the range of the maximum torque. Because, that's when fuel supply is in accordance with the output of machinery and manpower needed to drive the car.

Extend Vehicle Age

1. Avoid warming the engine are too long, if the average spin machine has run the vehicle.

2. Round cultivated machine do not be too low and not too high.

3. Avoid running the vehicle at high speed, try to run the vehicle with constant speed and do not mengkocok-whipped on the accelerator when not needed.

4. When driving do not put a foot on the clutch pedal

5. Keep your tire pressure according to vehicle / right.

Turbocharger And Supercharger

Turbocharger and supercharger is a device that forces air into the cylinder to create pressure greater than atmospheric pressure for increased engine output.

Generally, the magnitude of engine output is influenced by the amount of air-fuel mixture, combustion is performed at a certain time period, and will grow along with the increasing number of air-fuel mixture.

This means, to increase engine output, the volume of step machine or engine speed should bebe improved .

Only problem is when the volume was raised step machines, weight machines also increased, in addition to several other factors such as friction losses, vibration and sound of moving parts when engine speed limitimproved .

Supercharger find the opposite requirements when the engine output is to be improved, with the engine remains compact and lightweight. How, by increasing the supply of fuel and air volume without changing the size of the engine.

This equipment is controlled by two methods: turbocharger driven by exhaust gas and the supercharger is driven by the engine.
