Driving Information
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 tires properly
inflated.
.
Combine several trips into a
single trip.
.
Replace the vehicle's tires with the
same TPC Spec number molded
into the tire's sidewall near

Distracted Driving
Distraction comes in many forms and
can take your focus from the task of
driving. Exercise good judgment 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.
