Follow theseeasy-to-use FuelEfficient Driving
Tips tohelp youachieve themost fueleconomy
from yourvehicle.
1. Use smooth accelerator andbrake pedal
application.
.
Avoid rapidstarts andstops.
.
Use smooth, gentleaccelerator and
brake application wheneverpossible.
.
Maintain constant speedwhilecommut-
ing and coast whenever possible.
2. Maintain constant speed.
.
Look ahead totry and anticipate and
minimize stops.
.
Synchronizing yourspeed withtraffic
lights allows youtoreduce yournumber
of stops.
.
Maintaining asteady speedcanminimize
red light stops andimprove fueleffi-
ciency .
3. Use airconditioning (A/C)athigher vehicle
speeds.
.
Below 40MPH (64km/h) ,it is more
efficient toopen windows tocool the
vehicle duetoreduced engineload.
.
Above 40MPH (64km/h) ,it is more
efficient touse A/C tocool thevehicle
due toincreased aerodynamic drag.
.
Recirculating thecool airinthe cabin
when theA/C ison reduces coolingload.
4. Drive ateconomical speedsanddistances.
.
Observing thespeed limitandnotex-
ceeding 60MPH (97km/h) (where
legally allowed) canimprove fueleffi-
ciency duetoreduced aerodynamic
drag.
.
Maintaining asafe following distance
behind othervehicles reduces unneces-
sary braking.
.
Safely monitoring traffictoanticipate
changes inspeed permits reduced brak-
ing and smooth acceleration changes.
.
Select agear range suitable toroad
conditions.
5. Use cruise control.
.
Using cruise control duringhighway
driving helpsmaintain asteady speed.
.
Cruise control isparticularly effectivein
providing fuelsavings whendriving on
flat terrains.
6. Plan forthe shortest route.
.
Utilize amap ornavigation systemto
determine thebest route tosave time.
7. Avoid idling.
.
Shutting offyour engine whensafefor
stops exceeding 30-60seconds saves fuel
and reduces emissions.
8. Buy anautomated passfortoll roads.
.
Automated passespermitdrivers touse
special lanestomaintain cruisingspeed
through thetolland avoid stopping and
starting.
9. Winter warmup.
.
Limit idling timetominimize impacttofuel
economy .
.
V ehicles typically neednomore than30
seconds ofidling atstart-up toeffectively
circulate theengine oilbefore driving.
.
Y our vehicle willreach itsideal operating
temperature morequickly whiledriving
versus idling.
10. Keeping yourvehicle cool.
.
Park yourvehicle inacovered parking
area orinthe shade whenever possible.
.
When entering ahot vehicle, opening the
windows willhelp toreduce theinside
temperature faster,resulting inreduced
demand onyour A/Csystem.

vehicle bydepressing thebrake pedal. However,
greater footpressure onthe brake pedalwillbe
required tostop thevehicle andthestopping
distance willbelonger.
When thebrake pedalisdepressed slowlyand

Avoid resting yourfootonthe brake pedalwhile
driving. Thiswillcause overheating ofthe

faster andreduce gasmileage.
T o help reduce brakewearandtoprevent the
brakes fromoverheating, reducespeedand
downshift toalower gearbefore goingdownaslope

reduce braking performance andcould resultin
loss ofvehicle control.
WARNING
. While driving onaslippery surface,
be careful whenbraking, accelerat-
ing ordownshifting. Abruptbraking
or accelerating couldcause the

GUID-AD93 4732-3AE5-459A-B8C3 -7A014C0C24D9
WARNING
. The Anti-lock BrakingSystem(ABS)
is asophisticated device,butit
cannot prevent accidents resulting
from careless ordangerous driving
techniques. Itcan help maintain
vehicle control duringbraking on
slippery surfaces. Remember that
stopping distances onslippery sur-
faces willbelonger thanonnormal surfaces
evenwithABS. Stopping
distances mayalso belonger on
rough, gravelorsnow covered
roads, orifyou areusing tirechains.
Always maintain asafe distance
from thevehicle infront ofyou.
Ultimately, thedriver isresponsible
for safety.
. Tire type andcondition mayalso
affect braking effectiveness.
Ð When replacing tires,install the
specified sizeoftires onallfour
wheels.
Ð When installing aspare tire,
make surethatitis the proper
size andtype asspecified onthe
Tire andLoading Information
label. SeeªTire andLoading
Information labelº(P.9-12) of
this manual.
Ð For detailed information, see
ª Wheels andtiresº (P.8-31) of
this manual.
The Anti-lock BrakingSystem(ABS)controls
the brakes sothe wheels donot lock during hard
braking orwhen braking onslippery surfaces.
The system detects therotation speedateach wheel
andvaries thebrake fluidpressure to
prevent eachwheel fromlocking andsliding. By
preventing eachwheel fromlocking, thesystem
helps thedriver maintain steeringcontroland
helps tominimize swerving andspinning on
slippery surfaces.
