Driving your vehicle Economical operation
䳜 Travel lightly. Don't carry unnec
-
essary weight in your car. Weight
reduces fuel economy.
䳜 Don't let the engine idle longer
than necessary. If you are waiting
(and not in traffic), turn off your
engine and restart only when
you're ready to go.
䳜 Remember, your vehicle does not
require extended warm-up. After
the engine has started, allow the
engine to run for 10 to 20 sec
-
onds prior to placing the vehicle in
gear. In very cold weather, how
-
ever, give your engine a slightly
longer warmup period.
䳜 Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the
engine. Lugging is driving too
slowly in too high a gear resulting
in the engine bucking. If this hap
-
pens, shift to a lower gear. Over-
revving is racing the engine
beyond its safe limit. This can be
avoided by shifting at the recom
-
mended speeds.
䳜 Use your air conditioning spar
-
ingly. The air conditioning system
is operated by engine power so
your fuel economy is reduced
when you use it.
䳜 Open windows at high speeds can
reduce fuel economy.
䳜 Fuel economy is less in cross -
winds and headwinds. To help off
-
set some of this loss, slow down
when driving in these conditions.
Keeping a vehicle in good operating
condition is important both for
economy and safety. Therefore,
have the system serviced by a pro
-
fessional workshop.

WARNING
Engine off during motion
Never turn the engine off to coast
down hills or anytime the vehicle is
in motion. The power steering and
power brakes will not function prop
-
erly without the engine running.
Instead, keep the engine on and
downshift to an appropriate gear
for engine braking effect. In addi
-
tion, turning off the ignition whilst
driving could engage the steering
wheel lock resulting in loss of vehicle
steering which could cause serious
injury or death.
