BREAKING-IN
You need to break in new tires for
approximately 300 miles (480
kilometers). During this time, your vehicle
may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics. The engine also needs to
break in. Avoid hard accelerations and
driving too fast for the first 1000 miles
(1600 kilometers). If possible, avoid
carrying heavy loads up steep grades
during the break-in period.
ECONOMICAL DRIVING
Your fuel economy depends on:
•
How you drive your vehicle.
•
How you maintain your vehicle.
•
The conditions you drive your vehicle
in.
You may improve your fuel economy by
keeping these in mind:
•
Drive your vehicle at reasonable
speeds. Traveling at 65 mph
(105 km/h) uses about 15% less fuel
than traveling at 75 mph (121 km/h).
•
Drive at steady speeds without
stopping.
•
Anticipate stops. Slowing down your
vehicle may eliminate the need to stop.
•
Keep the tires properly inflated and use
only the recommended size.
•
Switch off the heater if you do not need
it. When you have the heater on, keep
it at the lowest blower and
temperature setting necessary to be
comfortable.
•
When it is cold outside, park in a sunny
location or a climate-controlled
environment. This may save fuel by
reducing the energy needed to heat the
cabin.
•
Switch off the air conditioning if you do
not need it. When you have the air
conditioning on, keep it at the lowest
blower and highest temperature
setting necessary to be comfortable.
•
When it is hot or sunny outside, parking
in a shaded or climate-controlled
environment will save fuel by reducing
the energy needed to cool the cabin.
•
For Plug-In Hybrid vehicles, use
preconditioning to improve your fuel
economy. See
•
Switch off the heated seats if you are
not using them.
•
Switch off the defroster when you no
longer need it for visibility.
•
For Plug-In Hybrid vehicles, plug in and
recharge the high voltage battery
whenever possible.
•
Use ECO Cruise Control, especially in
hilly terrain. See
•
Shift into low gear (L) when enhanced
engine braking is needed. Otherwise,
use drive gear (D) shift position.
•
Combine errands and minimize
stop-and-go driving. A warmed up
engine works more efficiently. When
running errands, go to the farthest
destination first and then work your
way back home.
•
Close the windows for high-speed
driving.
•
Use the recommended engine oil. See
•
Perform all regularly scheduled
maintenance. See
•
Use the coach and brake coach display
to get feedback on your economical
drive style. See
