Driving
Fuel Economy
Improving Fuel Economy
Fuel economy depends on several conditions, including driving conditions, your
driving habits, the condition of your vehicle, and loading. Depending on these and
other conditions, you may or may not achieve the rated fuel economy of this vehicle.
You can optimize your fuel economy with pro
per maintenance of your vehicle.
Always maintain your vehicle in accord ance with the messages displayed on the
information display
*/multi-information display *.
• Use the recommended
viscosity engine oil, displaying the API Certification Seal.
• Maintain the specified tire
pressure.
• Do not load
the vehicle with excess cargo.
• Keep you
r vehicle clean. A buildup of snow or mud on your vehicle's underside
adds weight and increases wind resistance.
■Maintenance and Fuel Economy
1 Improving Fuel Economy
Direct calculation is the recommended method to
determine actual fuel consumed while driving.
In Canada, posted fuel economy numbers are
established following a simulated test. For more
information on how this test is performed, please visit
