Driving your vehicle05
Your vehicle's fuel economy depends
mainly on your driving style such as
where you drive and when you drive.
Each of these factors affects your
fuel economy (how many miles/kilo-
meters you can drive with a
gallon/liter of fuel). To drive your vehi-
cle as economically as possible, fol-
low the below driving suggestions.
These will help you save in both the
fuel and repair expenses:
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at amoderate rate. Do not make
"jackrabbit" starts or full-throttle
shifts. Maintain a steady cruising
speed. Do not race between stop-
lights. Try to adjust your speed in
accordance with other traffic to
avoid unnecessary speed
changes. Avoid heavy traffic when-
ever possible. Always maintain a
safe distance from a vehicle in
front to avoid unnecessary braking.
This also reduces brake wear-out.
Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your
vehicle uses. Driving at a moderate
speed, in the highest gear appro-
priate for the driving conditions
especially on the highway, is one of
the most effective ways to reduce
fuel consumption.
Do not "ride" the brake pedal. This can increase fuel consumption and
also wear out the brake compo-
nents. In addition, resting your foot
on the brake pedal, while driving,
may overheat the brake, reducing
breaking effects and possibly lead-
ing a serious consequence.
Check your tire conditions. Keep them inflated to the recommended
pressure level. Under or over infla-
tion will unnecessarily tire wear-
out. Check the tire pressures at
least once a month. Make sure that the wheels are cor-
rectly aligned. Hitting a curb or
driving too fast on uneven surfaces
may distort the wheel alignment.
Poor alignment causes faster tire
wear-out and may also result in
other problems as well as greater
fuel consumption.
Keep your vehicle in good condi- tion. For the better fuel economy
and the cheaper maintenance
expenses, maintain your vehicle in
accordance with the maintenance
schedule in the chapter 7. When
you drive your vehicle in harsh con-
ditions, more frequent mainte-
nance is required (refer to the
chapter 7 for further information).
Keep your vehicle clean. Your vehi- cle should be kept clean and away
from any corrosive substances. It is
especially important that mud, dirt,
ice and others are not daubed
under the vehicle. This extra weight
may increase the fuel consumption
and also cause corrosion.
Avoid a heavy loading. Do not carry unnecessary weight in your
vehicle. It will improve your fuel
economy.
Do not let the engine idle longer than necessary. When you wait
(not in traffic), turn OFF the engine.
Then restart the engine, when you
are ready to go.
Remember that your vehicle does not require the engine warm-up for
a long time. After turning On the
engine, run the engine for 10 to 20
seconds, before shifting the gear.
In cold weather, however, your
engine needs a slightly longer
warm-up period.

Maintenance07
Tire rotation
To balance worn-out levels of the tire
tread, rotating the tire positions is
required every 7,500 miles (12,000
km), or sooner, when the irregular
abrasion is detected. While rotating
the positions, correctly balance the
tire positions.
When rotating tires, check for any
uneven abrasion and damage.
Abnormal tire abrasion is usually
caused by improper tire pressure,
tilted wheel alignment, unbalanced
wheels, severe braking or hard cor-
nering. Check for any bump or
bulging from the tire side walls. When
finding one of those, replace you tire.
Replace the tire, when a tire cord
fabric is visible. After rotation, make
sure to properly inflate the tires to the
recommended pressure, as speci-
fied, and check the lug-nut tightness.
Disc brake pads should be inspectedfor any abrasion, whenever rotatingtires.
Information
The front tire size is different from the
rear tire size. So when you rotate tires,
check sizes of the tires and wheels.
Wheel alignment and tire bal-
ance
The wheels are finely aligned and
balanced at the manufacturing facto-
ry in order to ensure the longest tire
life and the best driving performance.
In most cases, you do not need to
realign the wheels. However, when
detecting unusual tire abrasion or
vehicle leaning to one side, the
realignment may be needed. When
your vehicle vibrates on an even sur-
face, while driving, your wheels may
need to be rebalanced.
Improperly overweighted wheel
may damage your vehicle's alu-
minum wheels. Carry only the
appropriate wheel weights.
NOTICE
i
OBK079038
Without a spare tire
Do not use the compact spare
tire for tire rotation.
Never mix bias-ply tires and radial-ply tires under any cir-
cumstances. This may cause
abnormal handling, possibly
resulting in a death, severe
injury, or property damage.
WARNING

Maintenance
Tire maintenance
In addition to the proper inflation
pressure, correct wheel alignment
prevents tire abrasion. When you find
uneven tire abrasion, have the wheel
alignment checked by your EQUUS
dealer.
When replacing your tires, make
sure they are well balanced. This
increases your driving comfort and
tire life. Additionally, a tire should be
rebalanced after being removed from
a wheel.
Tire sidewall labeling
This information identifies and states
the fundamental tire specifications
and also provides the tire identifica-
tion number (TIN) for the safety stan-
dard certification. The TIN is to iden-
tify your tire in case of a recall.
1. Manufacturer or brand name
The manufacturer's or brand name is
shown.
2. Tire size designation
A tire side wall is marked with tire
size specifications. This information
is needed to select the right tire for
replacement. The letters and num-
bers in the tire size designation are
interpreted as below.
Example of the tire size designation:
(The following tire size designation is
provided as an example only; your
tire size designator may vary,
depending on your vehicle model.)
P245/45R19 98V
P - Applicable vehicle type (Tires,marked with the prefix “P,’’ are to
be used for passenger cars or
light trucks. However, this letter is
not shown on all tires).
245 - Tire width in millimeters.
45 - Aspect ratio. The ratio of the tire width to the tire height.
R - Tire construction code (Radial).
19 - Rim diameter in inches.
98 - Load Index, a numerical code associated with the maximum
load capacity.
V - Speed Rating Symbol. See the speed rating chart in this chapter
for further information.
