stopping position. Release the acceler-
ator pedal early and continue coasting.
Use the brake pedal to adjust your
stopping position. Make sure to oper-
ate the brake pedal gently.
Repeated acceleration and decelera-
tion, as well as long waits at traffic
lights, will lead to bad fuel economy.
Check traffic reports before leaving
and avoid delays as much as possible.
Control and maintain the vehicle at a
constant speed. Before stopping at a
toll booth or similar, allow plenty of
time to release the accelerator pedal
and gently apply the brakes.
Use the air conditioning only when
necessary. Doing so can help reduce
excessive fuel consumption.
In summer: When the ambient temper-
ature is high, use the recirculated air
mode. Doing so will help to reduce the
burden on the air conditioning system
and reduce fuel consumption as well.
In winter: Turn the A/C switch on only
when both heating and dehumidifying
are needed, and if only heating is
needed, turn the A/C switch off. Turn-
ing the A/C switch on when unneces-
sary leads to excessive fuel
consumption.

Avoid unnecessary idling. Stop the
engine when parking the vehicle to
reduce excessive fuel consumption,
even it is only for a short period of
time.

Except in severe environment, such
as when the outside temperature is
extremely low, warming up the
engine before driving is unneces-
sary. Rather than idling, it is more
efficient to drive the vehicle gently
to warm up each part while avoiding
increasing the engine revolutions
unnecessarily and accelerating or
decelerating suddenly.
Carrying heavy luggage will lead to
poor fuel economy. Avoid carrying
unnecessary luggage. Installing a large
roof rack will also cause poor fuel
economy.

Make sure to check the tire inflation
pressure frequently. Improper tire
inflation pressure can cause poor
fuel economy. Also, as snow tires
can cause large amounts of friction,
their use on dry roads can lead to
poor fuel economy. Use tires that
are appropriate for the season and
road conditions.

Use oil and fluid of the recom-
mended quality, which affect fuel
