Driving your vehicle
Your vehicle's fuel economy depends
mainly on your style of driving, where you
drive and when you drive.
Each of these factors affects how many
kilometers you can get from a litre of fuel.
To operate your vehicle as economically
as possible, use the following driving
suggestions to help save money in bothfuel and repairs:
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moder-ate rate. Don't make “kangaroo” starts or full-throttle shifts and maintain a
steady cruising speed. Don't race
between stoplights. Try to adjust your
speed to that of the other traffic so you
don't have to change speeds unneces-
sarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever
possible. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from other vehicles so you can
avoid unnecessary braking. This also
reduces brake wear.
Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your car uses.
Driving at a moderate speed, especial-
ly on the highway, is one of the most
effective ways to reduce fuel consump-tion. Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal.
This can increase fuel consumption
and also increase wear on these com-
ponents. In addition, driving with your
foot resting on the brake pedal may
cause the brakes to overheat, which
reduces their effectiveness and may
lead to more serious consequences.
Take care of your tyres. Keep them inflated to the recommended pressure.
Incorrect inflation, either too much or
too little, results in unnecessary tyre
wear. Check the tyre pressures at leastonce a month.
Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper alignment can
result from hitting curbs or driving too
fast over irregular surfaces. Poor align-
ment causes faster tyre wear and may
also result in other problems as well as
greater fuel consumption.
Keep your car in good condition. For better fuel economy and reduced
maintenance costs, maintain your carin accordance with the maintenance
schedule in Section 7. If you drive your
car in severe conditions, more frequentmaintenance is required (see Section
7 for details). Keep your car clean. For maximum
service, your vehicle should be kept
clean and free of corrosive materials. It
is especially important that mud, dirt,
ice, etc. not be allowed to accumulate
on the underside of the car. This extra
weight can result in increased fuel con-
sumption and also contribute to corro-sion.
Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary weight in your car. Weight reduces fuel
economy.
Don't let the engine idle longer than necessary. If you are waiting (and not
in traffic), turn off your engine and
restart only when you're ready to go.
Remember, your vehicle does not require extended warm-up. After the
engine has started, allow the engine to
run for 10 to 20 seconds prior to plac-
ing the vehicle in gear. In very cold
weather, however, give your engine a
slightly longer warm-up period.
Don't “labour” or “over-rev” the engine. Labouring is driving too slowly in toohigh a gear resulting in the engine
bucking. If this happens, shift to a lower
gear. Over-revving is racing the engine
beyond its safe limit. This can be avoid-
ed by shifting at the recommended
speeds.
ECONOMICAL OPERATION

Maintenance
At least monthly:
Check coolant level in the coolantrecovery reservoir.
Check the operation of all exterior lights, including the stoplights, turn sig-
nals and hazard warning flashers.
Check the inflation pressures of all tyres including the spare.
At least twice a year
(i.e., every Spring and Fall) :
Check radiator, heater and air condi- tioning hoses for leaks or damage.
Check windshield washer spray and wiper operation. Clean wiper blades
with clean cloth dampened with wash-er fluid.
Check headlight alignment.
Check muffler, exhaust pipes, shields and clamps.
Check the lap/shoulder belts for wear and function.
Check for worn tyres and loose wheel lug nuts.
At least once a year :
Clean body and door drain holes.
Lubricate door hinges and checks, and
bonnet hinges.
Lubricate door and bonnet locks and latches.
Lubricate door rubber weatherstrips.
Check the air conditioning system before the warm weather season.
Inspect and lubricate automatic transaxle linkage and controls.
Clean battery and terminals.
Check the brake (and clutch) fluid level.

Checking tyre inflation pressure
Check your tyres once a month or more.
Also, check the tyre pressure of the
spare tyre.
How to check
Use a good quality gauge to check tyre
pressures. You can not tell if your tyres
are properly inflated simply by looking at
them. Radial tyres may look properly
inflated even when they're underinflated.
Check the tyre's inflation pressure when
the tyres are cold. - "Cold" means your
vehicle has been sitting for at least three
hours or driven no more than 1.6 km (1mile). Remove the valve cap from the tyre valve
stem. Press the tyre gauge firmly onto
the valve to get a pressure measure-
ment. If the cold tyre inflation pressurematches the recommended pressure on
the tyre and loading information label, no
further adjustment is necessary. If the
pressure is low, add air until you reachthe recommended amount.
If you overfill the tyre, release air by pushing on the metal stem in the centre
of the tyre valve. Recheck the tyre pres-
sure with the tyre gauge. Be sure to put
the valve caps back on the valve stems.
They help prevent leaks by keeping out
dirt and moisture.
Tyre rotation
To equalise tread wear, it is recommend-
ed that the tyres be rotated every 12,000km (7,500 miles) or sooner if irregular
wear develops.
During rotation, check the tyres for cor-
rect balance.
When rotating tyres, check for uneven
wear and damage. Abnormal wear is
usually caused by incorrect tyre pres-
sure, improper wheel alignment, out-of-
balance wheels, severe braking or
severe cornering. Look for bumps or
bulges in the tread or side of tyre.
Replace the tyre if you find either of
these conditions. Replace the tyre if fab-
ric or cord is visible. After rotation, be
sure to bring the front and rear tyre pres-
sures to specification and check lug nut
tightness.
Refer to Section 8, “Specifications”.

Maintenance
Disc brake pads should be inspected forwear whenever tyres are rotated.
✽✽NOTICE
Rotate radial tyres that have an asym-
metric tread pattern only from front to
rear and not from right to left.
Wheel alignment and tyre balance
The wheels on your vehicle were aligned
and balanced carefully at the factory to
give you the longest tyre life and best
overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to have
your wheels aligned again. However, if
you notice unusual tyre wear or your
vehicle pulling one way or the other, the
alignment may need to be reset.
If you notice your vehicle vibrating when
driving on a smooth road, your wheels
may need to be rebalanced.
WARNING
Do not mix bias ply and radial ply
tyres under any circumstances.
This may cause unusual handling
characteristics that could result in
death, severe injury, or property
damage.S2BLA790

Improper wheel weights can dam-

weights.

Maintenance
Compact spare tire replacement (if equipped)
A compact spare tire has a shorter tread
life than a regular size tire. Replace it
when you can see the tread wear indica-
tor bars on the tire. The replacementcompact spare tire should be the same
size and design tire as the one provided
with your new vehicle and should bemounted on the same compact spare tire
wheel. The compact spare tire is notdesigned to be mounted on a regular
size wheel, and the compact spare tire
wheel is not designed for mounting a reg-
ular size tire. Wheel replacement
When replacing the metal wheels for any
reason, make sure the new wheels are
equivalent to the original factory units in
diameter, rim width and offset. Tyre traction
Tyre traction can be reduced if you drive
on worn tyres, tyres that are improperly
inflated or on slippery road surfaces.
Tyres should be replaced when tread
wear indicators appear. To reduce the
possibility of losing control, slow down
whenever there is rain, snow or ice onthe road.
Tyre maintenance In addition to proper inflation, correct wheel alignment helps to decrease tyre
wear. If you find a tyre is worn unevenly,
have your dealer check the wheel align-ment.
When you have new tyres installed,
make sure they are balanced. This will
increase vehicle ride comfort and tyre
life. Additionally, a tyre should always be
rebalanced if it is removed from thewheel.
Tyre sidewall labeling
This information identifies and describes
the fundamental characteristics of the
tyre and also provides the tyre identifica-
tion number (TIN) for safety standard
certification. The TIN can be used toidentify the tyre in case of a recall.
