brake pedal may cause the brakes
to overheat, which reduces their
effectiveness and may lead to
more serious consequences.
• Take care of your tires. Keep them
inflated to the recommended
pressure. Incorrect inflation, either
too much or too little, results
in unnecessary tire wear. Check
the tire pressures at least once a
month.
• Be sure that the wheels are
aligned correctly. Improper
alignment can result from hitting
curbs or driving too fast over
irregular surfaces. Poor alignment
causes faster tire wear and may
also result in other problems as
well as greater fuel consumption.
• Keep your car in good condition.
For better fuel economy and
reduced maintenance costs,
maintain your car in accordance
with the “Normal maintenance
schedule - for Europe (Except
Russia)” on page 8-15. If you drive
your car in severe conditions, more
frequent maintenance is required
(Refer to “Maintenance under
severe usage conditions - for
Europe (Except Russia)” on page
8-19, “Severe driving conditions”
on page 8-20).
• Keep your car clean. For maximum
service, your vehicle should be
kept clean and free of corrosive
materials. It is especially
important that mud, dirt, ice, etc.
not be allowed to accumulate
on the underside of the car.
This extra weight can result in
increased fuel consumption and
also contribute to corrosion.
• Travel lightly. Don’t carry
unnecessary weight in your car.
Weight reduces fuel economy.
• 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.
• Remember, your vehicle does not
require extended warm-up. After
the engine has started, allow the
engine to run for 10 to 20 seconds
prior to placing the vehicle in gear.
In very cold weather, however,
give your engine a slightly longer
warmup period.
• 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
happens, shift to a lower gear.
Overrevving is racing the engine
beyond its safe limit. This can
be avoided by shifting at the
recommended speeds.
• Use your air conditioning
sparingly. The air conditioning
system is operated by engine
power so your fuel economy is
reduced when you use it.
• Open windows at high speeds can
reduce fuel economy.
