You can save fuel and get more kilo-
meters from your car if you follow
these suggestions:
WARNING:
If there is no curb or if it is required
by other conditions to keep the car
from rolling, block the wheels.
o Under some conditions your park-
ing brake can freeze in the engaged
position. This is most likely to hap-
pen when there is an accumulation
of snow or ice around or near the
rear brakes or if the brakes are wet.
If there is a risk that the parking
brake may freeze, apply it only tem-
porarily while you put the gear se-
lector lever in first or reverse gear
and block the rear wheels so the car
cannot roll. Then release the park-
ing brake.
Always, confirm the position of the
brake and accelerator pedal before
driving. If you don’t check the posi-
tion of the accelerator and brake
pedal before driving, you may de-
press the accelerator instead of the
brake pedal. It may cause a serious
accident.
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
possible.
Always maintain a safe distance
fromothervehiclessoyoucanavoid
unnecessary braking. This also re-
duces brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The
faster you drive, the more fuel your
car uses. Driving at a moderate
speed,especiallyonthehighway,is
one of the most effective ways to
reduce fuel consumption.

o Do not hold the vehicle on the up-
grade with the accelerator pedal.

overheat. Always use the brake
pedal or parking brake.
