Driving your vehicle
ECONOMICAL OPERATION
E100000APA
•  Don't  "ride" the brake  pedal. This can
increase  fuel  consumption   and  also
increase  wear on  these  components.
In addition,  driving with your  foot rest-
ing on the  brake pedal may cause  the
brakes   to  overheat,   which  reduces
their  effectiveness  and   may  lead  to
more serious consequences.
•  Keep  your car  in  good condition.  For
better   fuel   economy   and   reduced
maintenance costs,  maintain your  car
in  accordance  with  the  maintenance
schedule in section 7. If you drive your
car in severe conditions, more frequent
maintenance is required (see section 7
for details).
Your  vehicle's   fuel  economy   depends
mainly on your style of driving, where you
drive and when you drive.
Each of  these factors  affects how many
kilometers (miles) you can get from a liter
(gallon)  of fuel. To  operate  your vehicle
as economically as possible, use  the fol-
lowing driving  suggestions  to help  save
money in both fuel and repairs:
•  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.
•  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 con-
sumption and also  contribute to corro-
sion.
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moder-
ate rate. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts
or  full-throttle   shifts  and  maintain  a
steady   cruising   speed.   Don't   race
between stoplights.  Try to  adjust your
speed to the traffic so you don't have to
change  speeds   unnecessarily.  Avoid
•  Be  sure  that  the wheels  are  aligned
alignment    can
correctly.   Improper
result from  hitting curbs or  driving too
fast over irregular surfaces. Poor align-
ment causes  faster tire wear and  may
also result in other problems as well as
greater fuel consumption.
heavy
traffic
whenever
possible.
•  Travel lightly.  Don't carry  unnecessary
weight in your car. Weight reduces fuel
economy.
Always maintain  a safe  distance from
other vehicles so you can avoid unnec-
essary   braking.   This   also  reduces
brake wear.
•  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.
Drive at a  moderate speed. The faster
you drive, the more fuel your car  uses.
Driving at a moderate speed, especial-
ly on  the highway,  is one  of the  most
effective ways to reduce fuel consump-
tion.
