Driving your vehicle
ECONOMICAL OPERATION
Your vehicle's  fuel economy  depends     •  Don't  "ride"  the   brake  or   clutch     • Keep  your  car  in  good  condition.
mainly on your  style of driving, where
you drive and when you drive.
pedal. This can  increase fuel  con-
sumption  and also  increase  wear
on these  components. In addition,
driving with your foot resting on the
brake pedal may cause the  brakes
to  overheat,  which  reduces  their
effectiveness   and   may   lead   to
more serious consequences.
For   better    fuel   economy    and
reduced maintenance costs, main-
tain  your  car  in  accordance  with
the maintenance  schedule in  sec-
tion  7.  If   you  drive   your  car  in
severe  conditions,  more  frequent
maintenance is  required (see sec-
tion 7 for details).
Each  of   these  factors  affects   how
many miles  (kilometers)  you can  get
from a gallon (liter)  of fuel. To operate
your vehicle as economically as possi-
ble, use  the following driving  sugges-
tions to help  save money in  both fuel
and repairs:
•  Take care of your  tires. Keep them     •  Keep your car clean. For maximum

sure. Incorrect  inflation, either  too
much or too little, results  in unnec-
essary  tire  wear.   Check  the  tire
pressures at least once a month.
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
consumption and also contribute to
corrosion.
Drive smoothly.Accelerate at a mod-
erate  rate. Don't  make "jack-rabbit"
starts or full-throttle shifts and main-
tain a  steady cruising  speed. Don't
race between stoplights.Try to adjust
your speed to that of the other traffic     • Be    sure   that   the   wheels    are
so you don't have to change speeds
unnecessarily.  Avoid  heavy   traffic
whenever possible. Always maintain
a safe  distance from other  vehicles
so you can avoid unnecessary brak-
ing.This also reduces brake wear.
Drive  at   a  moderate  speed.  The
faster you  drive the  more fuel  your
vehicle uses. Driving  at a moderate
speed, in the highest gear appropri-
ate for the  conditions, especially on
the highway, is one of the most effec-
tive  ways to  reduce fuel  consump-
tion.

or  driving  too  fast   over  irregular

•  Don't  let  the   engine  idle   longer

you're ready to go.
