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.
