Ecosafe driving reduces your fuel consumption. Simultaneously, it helps you become a safer driver by forcing you to pay attention to the road, accelerate at a regular pace, and avoid accidents.
To achieve ecosafe driving status, apply these tips:
  • Drive vigilantly and attentively by limiting distractions and driving defensively.
  • Accelerate and brake gently.
  • Keep your car under or at the posted speed limit.
  • Always be aware of other motorists, driving conditions, and your surroundings.
  • Turn off your engine rather than letting it idle if you’re waiting for more than five minutes.
  • Check your tire pressure regularly.
  • Keep your vehicle
    well maintained
    .
  • Use cruise control when possible.
