DRIVING FOR ECONOMY
You can save fuel and get more miles from your
car if you follow these suggestions:
TCS does not actively apply brakes. Be sure to
decelerate the car sufficiently before entering
curves.
3)
4)
o
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate
rate. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts or full-
throttle shifts and maintain a steady cruising
speed. Don't race between stoplights. Try to
adjustyourspeedtothatoftheothertrafficso
you don't have to change speeds unneces-
sarily.Avoidheavytrafficwheneverpossible.
Always maintain a safe distance from other
vehiclessoyoucanavoidunnecessarybrak-
ing. This also reduces brake wear.
CAUTION:
When moving out of the mud or fresh
snow,pressingtheacceleratorpedalmay
not cause the engine speed to increase.
When the TCS indicator blinks, SLIP control
has been activated. It also means that the
road is slippery or your car is accelerating
excessively. In this situation, release foot

WARNING:
Traction control is only a driving aid; all
normal precautions for driving in inclement
weather and on slippery driving surfaces
shouldbeobserved.

Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you
drive, the more fuel your car uses. Driving at
a moderate speed, especially on the high-
way, is one of the most effective ways to
reducefuelconsumption.
Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. This
can increase fuel consumption and also in-
crease wear on these components. In addi-
tion,drivingwithyourfootrestingonthebrake
pedal may cause the brakes to overheat,
which reduces their effectiveness and may
lead to more serious consequences.
Should there be any unusual conditions in the
device, TCS illuminates as a warning.
If TCS illuminates, pull your car to a safe place
and stop the engine.
Then, start the engine again to check if the TCS
indicator goes out.
