DRIVING FOR ECONOMY
o  Don't"ride"thebrakeorclutchpedal.
This can increase fuel consumption
and  also increase  wear  on these
components.Inaddition,drivingwith
your foot resting on the brake pedal
may cause the brakes to overheat,
which  reduces their  effectiveness
and may lead to more serious con-
sequences.
o  Take care of your tyres. Keep them
inflated to the recommended pres-
sure. Incorrect infla-tion, either too
much or too little, results in unnec-
essary  tyre wear.  Check  the tyre
pressures at least once a month.
o  Be sure that the wheels are aligned
correctly. Improper  alignment  can
result from  hitting curbs or  driving
toofastoverirregularsurfaces.Poor
alignment causes  faster tyre wear
and may also  result in other prob-
lems as  well  as greater  fuel con-
sumption.
o  Keepyourcaringoodcondition.For
better  fuel economy  and reduced
maintenance costs,  maintain your
car in accordance with the mainte-
nance schedule in Section 5. If you
drive your car in severe conditions,
more frequent  maintenance is  re-
quired (see Section 5 for details).
o  Keep your car clean. For maximum
service,  your  car should  be  kept
clean and free of corrosive materi-
als.  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
increasedfuelconsumptionandalso
contribute to corrosion.
o  Travel lightly. Don't carry unneces-
sary weight in your car. Weight is an
enemy of good fuel economy.
o  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.
You can save fuel and get more miles
from your car if you follow these sug-
gestions:
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  stop-
lights. Try  to adjust your  speed to
that of the other traffic so you don't
have to  change speeds  unneces-
sarily.
Avoid heavy traffic  whenever pos-
sible. Always  maintain a  safe dis-
tance  from other  vehicles  so you
canavoidunnecessarybraking.This
also reduces brake wear.
o  Driveatamoderatespeed.Thefaster
you drive,  the  more fuel  your car
uses. Driving at a moderate speed,
especially on the highway, is one of
the most  effective ways to  reduce
fuel consumption.
