Driving your vehicle
ECONOMICAL OPERATION
Your vehicle's fuel economy depends     • Don't  "ride"  the  brake pedal.  This     • Keep your car in good condition. For
mainly on your style of driving, where
you drive and when you drive.
can increase fuel consumption and
also increase  wear on these  com-
ponents.  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 con-
sequences.
•  Take care of your  tires. Keep them
inflated to the recommended  pres-
sure. Incorrect  inflation, either  too
much or too little, results  in unnec-
essary  tire  wear.   Check  the  tire
pressures at least once a month.
better  fuel  economy  and  reduced
maintenance  costs,  maintain  your
car in  accordance with the mainte-
nance schedule in  section 7. If you
drive your car  in severe conditions,
more   frequent    maintenance    is
required (see section 7 for details).
•  Keep your car clean. For maximum
service, your vehicle 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
increased  fuel   consumption  and
also contribute to corrosion.
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 pos-
sible, use  the  following driving  sug-
gestions to help  save money in both
fuel and repairs:
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     •  Be   sure   that   the    wheels   are
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  from   other  vehicles   so
you  can avoid  unnecessary  brak-
ing. This also reduces brake wear.
aligned  correctly.  Improper  align-
ment can  result from  hitting curbs     •  Travel lightly. Don't  carry unneces-
or  driving  too  fast   over  irregular
surfaces.  Poor  alignment  causes
faster tire wear and may also result
in   other   problems    as   well   as
greater fuel consumption.
sary  weight   in  your   car.  Weight
reduces fuel economy.
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, especially  on  the highway,
is one of the most effective ways to
reduce fuel consumption.
