SUGGESTIONS FOR MORE ECONOMI-
CAL OPERATION
Fuel economy is dependent largely on
your style of driving.
How you drive, where you drive and
when you drive affect how many miles
(kilometers) you can get from a gallon
(liter) of fuel.
To obtain maximum fuel economy:
• Accelerate slowly
• Avoid unnecessary idling.
• Keep the engine properly tuned.
• Do not race the engine.
• Use the air conditioning only when
necessary.
• Slow down when driving on rough
roads.
• Keep the tires inflated to the recom-
mended pressure.
• Maintain a safe distance from other
vehicles to avoid a collision in case
of sudden stops. This will also reduce
wear on the brake pads and linings.
• Do not carry unnecessary weight.
• Do not rest your foot on the brake
pedal while driving.
• Adhere to the vehicle maintenance
schedule and specifications in this
manual.
