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 the size.
.
Follow recommended scheduled
maintenance.
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.
.
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.
