will also reduce wear on you brakes.
●
Avoid heavy traffic or traffic jams
whenever possible.
●
Do not rest your foot on the clutch or
brake pedal.
This causes premature
wear, overheating and poor fuel
economy.
●
Maintain a moderate speed on
highways.
The faster you drive, the
greater the fuel consumption. By
reducing your speed, you will cut down
on fuel consumption.
●
Keep the front wheels in proper
alignment.
Avoid hitting the curb. Slow
down on rough roads. Improper
alignment not only causes faster tire
wear but also puts an extra load on the
engine,
which, in turn, wastes fuel.
●
Keep the bottom of your vehicle free
from mud, etc.
This not only lessens
weight but also helps prevent corrosion.
●
Adjust your vehicle and have it work
in best operating state
. A dirty air
cleaner, carburetor out of adjustment,
improper valve clearance, dirty plugs,
dirty oil, and grease, brakes not
adjusted, and other conditions will lower
the engine performance and lead to
poor fuel economy. For longer life of all
parts and lower operating costs, keep all
maintenance work on schedule. If you
often drive under severe
conditions, have your vehicle receive
more frequent maintenance. See Section
6.
CAUTION
Never turn off the engine to coast
down hills. Your power steering and
brake booster will not function without
the engine running. Also, the emission
control system operates properly only
when the engine is running.
