Driving for Better Fuel Economy
Driving habits can affect fuel mileage. Here
are some driving tips to get the best fuel
economy possible:
.
Set the climate controls to the desired
temperature after the engine is started,
or turn them off when not required.
.
Avoid fast starts and accelerate smoothly.
.
Brake gradually and avoid abrupt stops.
.
Avoid idling the engine for long periods
of time.
.
When road and weather conditions are
appropriate, use cruise control.
.
Always follow posted speed limits or
drive more slowly when conditions
require.
.
Keep vehicle tyres properly inflated.
.
Combine several trips into a single trip.
.
Replace the vehicle's tyres with the same
TPC Spec number moulded into the tyre's
sidewall near the size.
.
Follow recommended scheduled
maintenance.

Using Tour mode rather than Sport or
Track modes, will result in better Active

Distracted Driving
Distraction comes in many forms and can
take your focus from the task of driving.
Exercise good judgement and do not let
other activities divert your attention away
from the road. Many local governments
have enacted laws regarding driver
distraction. Become familiar with the local
laws in your area.
To avoid distracted driving, keep your eyes
on the road, keep your hands on the
steering wheel, and focus your attention on
driving.
.
Do not use a phone in demanding driving
situations. Use a hands-free method to
place or receive necessary phone calls.
.
Watch the road. Do not read, take notes,
or look up information on phones or
other electronic devices.
.
Designate a front seat passenger to
handle potential distractions.
.
Become familiar with vehicle features
before driving, such as programming
favourite radio stations and adjusting
climate control and seat settings. Program
all trip information into any navigation
device prior to driving.
.
Wait until the vehicle is parked to
retrieve items that have fallen to the
floor.
.
Stop or park the vehicle to tend to
children.
.
Keep pets in an appropriate carrier or
restraint.
.
Avoid stressful conversations while
driving, whether with a passenger or on a
mobile phone.

Warning
Taking your eyes off the road too long or
too often could cause a crash resulting in
injury or death. Focus your attention on
driving.
