When restarting out after parking on a
slope:
1. With the transmission in “P” position,
start the engine. Be sure to keep the
brake pedal depressed.
2. Shift into gear.
3. Release the parking brake and brake
pedal and slowly pull or back away
from the wheel blocks. Stop and apply
your brakes.
4. Have someone retrieve the blocks.
CAUTION
!
Do not exceed 72 km/h (45 mph) or
the posted towing speed limit,
whichever is lower. Because insta-
bility (swaying) of a towing vehicle
−
trailer
combination
usually
in-
creases as the speed increases, ex-
ceeding 72 km/h (45 mph) may
cause loss of control.
!
Slow down and downshift before
descending steep or long downhill
grades. Do not make sudden down-
shifts.
!
Avoid holding the brake pedal down
too long or too frequently. This
could cause the brakes to overheat
and result in reduced braking effi-
ciency.
Getting more kilometers/mileage from a
liter/gallon of fuel is easy—just take it
easy. It will help make your vehicle last
longer, too. Here are some specific tips
on how to save money on both fuel and
repairs:
!
Keep your tires inflated at the cor-
rect pressure.
Underinflation causes
tire wear and wastes fuel. See page
289 in Section 7
−
2 for instructions.
!
Do not carry unneeded weight in
your vehicle.
Excess weight puts a
heavier load on the engine, causing
greater fuel consumption.
!
Avoid lengthy warm
−
up idling.
Once
the engine is running smoothly, begin
driving—but gently. Remember, howev-
er, that on cold winter days this may
take a little longer.
!
Keep the automatic transmission
overdrive turned on when engine
braking is not required.
Driving with
the overdrive off will reduce the fuel
economy. (For details, see “Automatic
transmission” on page 133 in Section
1
−
6.)
!
Accelerate slowly and smoothly.
Avoid jackrabbit starts. Get into high
gear as quickly as possible.

your vehicle last longer, too
