Suggestions for Economical
OperationYour vehicle’s fuel economy is mainly dependent on
your style of driving, how you drive, where you drive
and when you drive.
Each of these factors has an effect on how many miles
(kilometers) you can get from a gallon (liter) of fuel.
To operate your vehicle as economically as possible,
use the following driving suggestions to help save
money in both fuel and repairs:
 Avoid lengthy warm-up idling. Once the engine
is running smoothly, begin driving. Remember,
though, that on cold days, engine warm-up may take
a little longer.
 Save fuel by accelerating slowly after stopping.
 Keep the engine in tune and follow the
recommended periodic maintenance schedule.
This will increase the life of all parts and lower your
operating costs.
 Do not use the air conditioner unnecessarily.
 Slow down when driving on rough roads. For longer tire life and better fuel economy, always
keep the tires inflated to the recommended
pressures.
 Maintain a safe distance from other vehicles to
avoid sudden stops. This will reduce wear on brake
linings and pads and save fuel because extra fuel is
required to accelerate back to driving speed.
 Do not carry unnecessary weight in the vehicle.
 Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while
driving. This can cause needless wear, possible
damage to the brakes, and poor fuel economy.
 Improper wheel alignment causes the tires to roll
at excessive angles, which results in faster tire wear.
It takes more power to overcome this improper
alignment, which wastes fuel.
 Open windows at high speeds can reduce fuel
economy.
 Crosswinds and headwinds reduce fuel economy. To
help offset some of this loss, slow down when
driving in these conditions.Driving Tips5-6
