Fuel economy
N00628800107
Fuel economy is dependent on many factors. Your personal
driving habits can have a significant effect on your fuel use.
Several recommendations for achieving the greatest fuel econ-
omy are listed below.
●
Whenever accelerating from a stop, always accelerate
slowly and smoothly.
●
When parked for even a short period, do not idle the
engine. Shut it off.
●
Plan your trips to avoid unnecessary stops.
●
Keep your tires inflated to the recommended pressures.
●
For freeway driving, maintain a speed of approximately
50 mph (80 km/h) when traffic, roadway and weather con-
ditions safely permit.
●
Keep your air filter clean and your vehicle lubricated
according to the recommendations in this manual.
●
Always keep your vehicle well maintained. A poorly
maintained engine wastes fuel and costs money.
●
Do not overload your vehicle.
Driving, alcohol and drugs
N00628900010
Drunk driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously impaired even with blood
alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you have been
drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking
driver, call a cab or a friend, or use public transportation.
Drinking coffee or taking a cold shower will not make you
sober.
Similarly, prescription and nonprescription drugs affect your
alertness, perception and reaction time. Consult with your doc-
tor or pharmacist before driving while under the influence of
any of these medications.
WARNING
!
●
NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE.
Your perceptions are less accurate, your reflexes are
slower and your judgment is impaired.
