4-2 Driving safety
4Fuel economy
N00628800178
Fuel economy is dependent on many factors. Your personal
driving habits can have a significant effect on your fuel con-
sumption. Several recommendations for achieving the greatest
fuel economy are listed below.
Whenever accelerating from a stop, always accelerate
slowly and smoothly.
When parked for even a short period, do not idle the
engine. Shut it off.
Plan your trips to avoid unnecessary stops.
Keep your tires inflated to the recommended pressures.
For freeway driving, maintain a speed of approximately
50 mph (80 km/h) when traffic, roadway and weather con-
ditions safely permit.
Keep your air filter clean and your vehicle lubricated
according to the recommendations in this manual.
Always keep your vehicle well maintained. A poorly
maintained engine wastes fuel and costs money.
Never overload your vehicle.
Driving, alcohol and drugs
N00628900049
Drunk driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously impaired even with blood
alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you have been
drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking
driver, call a cab or a friend, or use public transportation.
Drinking coffee or taking a cold shower will not make you
sober.
Similarly, prescription and nonprescription drugs affect your
alertness, perception and reaction time. Consult with your doc-
tor or pharmacist before driving while under the influence of
any of these medications.
WA R N I N G
!NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE.
Your perceptions are less accurate, your reflexes are
slower and your judgment is impaired.

the ignition switch or the operation mode to the ACC
position. (Refer to “12V power outlet” on page 3-161.)
Turn ON the compressor switch (M) and inject all of the
tire sealant and inflate the tire to the specified pressure.
(Refer to “Tire inflation pressures” on page 7-23.)
If there is a gap between the tire and wheel, push the tread
area toward the center of the wheel to close the gap before
running the compressor.

!Do not place your hand or fingers between the tire
and wheel while inflating the tire. Your hand or fin-
gers may become caught between the tire and wheel.

12 V power supply. Do not connect it to any other
power source.The compressor is not waterproof. If you use it in
rain, make sure water does not get on it.Any sand or dust sucked into the compressor could
make the compressor break down. Do not place the
compressor directly on any sandy or dusty surface
when using it.Do not disassemble or modify the compressor. Also,
do not subject the air pressure gauge to shock. It
could malfunction.

13. Affix the speed restriction sticker (N) to the three-dia-
mond mark on the steering wheel.14. Check and adjust the tire pressure with reference to the air
pressure gauge on the compressor. If you overinflate the
tire, release air by pressing the pressure release switch (O)
on the compressor.
CAUTION
!Do not affix the sticker anywhere except the speci-
fied position on the pad of the steering wheel. Affix-
ing the sticker in an incorrect position could prevent
the SRS airbag from deploying properly.
CAUTION
!The surface of the compressor will get hot while the
compressor is running. Do not keep the compressor
running continuously for more than 10 minutes.
After using the compressor, wait for the compressor
to cool before using it again.If the compressor becomes sluggish or hot while
operating, it is overheating. Immediately place the
switch in the OFF position and let the compressor
