The following suggestions are made to assist in achieving the greatest degree of fueleconomy.
o Maintaining a constant check on fuel con- sumption will enable the most economicaluse pattern and driving style to be adopt-ed.
o Avoid using the vehicle for very short jour- neys if possible, particularly when a coldstart is involved.
o Ensure that tyre pressures are maintained at the correct level.
o Use only the recommended grade of fuel.
o Avoid carrying unnecessary weight, and if a roof rack is in use, remove it as soon aspossible after use.
o Anticipate the road and conditions ahead to enable adjustments in speed to be madesmoothly. Avoid heavy acceleration andsharp braking.
NOTE: If the engine were not started 10 seconds
after the preheating is completed, turn the ignition key once more to the "LOCK"position, and then to the "ON" position, inorder to preheat again.
WARNING: Be sure that the clutch is fully depressed
when starting a manual transaxle vehicle. Otherwise there is the potential to cause damage to the vehicle or injury to some-
one inside or outside the vehicle as aresult of the forward or backward move-ment of the vehicle that will occur if theclutch is not depressed when the vehicle isstarted.
