[QUOTE="Lee36328, post: 205522, member: 113"] Anxious, Come down to KL and visit us, occassionally 'slightly' exceding the speed limit, and your car will feel much better. I promise. Everytime I make a trip to Penang, the car feels more 'youthful', lighter, and 'refreshed.' Our cars are meant to be driven, not pottering around in traffic jams... in fact the user manual recommends taking it over 3,000 rpm after a bout of slow driving. [B]Driving Notes[/B] [B]Engine [/B]Do not allow the engine to warm to its normal operating temperature by leaving it idling with the vehicle parked. However, when starting in extremely cold weather it is a good idea to allow the engine to run at fast idle for about 30 seconds before getting underway; this precaution ensures adequate lubrication. Avoid high engine speeds while the engine is still cold; this helps avoid premature wear and reduced service life. When driving under high engine loads (acceleration, steep hills), try to keep the engine running above 1,500 rpm. We recommend downshifting into a more suitable range, especially when driving up extended inclines. [B]It is a good idea to follow extended periods of low-speed operation (dense urban traffic, stop-and-go driving) by maintaining an engine speed consistently above 3,000 rpm for several miles. This procedure helps prevent deposits from accumulating in the engine. [/B] (My favourite paragraph of the manual) [/QUOTE]
