Increasing fuel economy

► Accelerate slowly and smoothly. Maintain
cruising speeds with a constant
accelerator position.
► Drive at moderate speeds on the highway.
► Avoid unnecessary stopping and braking.
Keep a safe distance behind other
vehicles.
► Select a gear range suitable to road
conditions.
► Avoid unnecessary prolonged engine
idling.
► Keep your engine tuned up.
► Follow the recommended periodic maintenance
schedule.
► Keep the tires inflated at the correct
pressure. Improper tire pressure will
increase wear and waste fuel.
► Make sure the front wheels are properly
aligned. Improper alignment will cause
premature tire wear and lower fuel
economy.
► Climate control operation lowers fuel
economy. Use the air conditioner only
when necessary.
► When cruising at highway speeds, it is
more economical to use the air conditioner
and leave the windows closed to
reduce drag.
