Fuel Economy
There are several factors that contribute to your
vehicle’s fuel economy, including maintenance of
your vehicle, driving style, environmental conditions,
vehicle weight and vehicle aerodynamics
Below are
tips on how to help improve fuel economy:
• K
eep your vehicle in good condition with regular
maintenance
• D
on’t let the engine idle longer than necessary
•D
rive at a moderate speed, accelerating
smoothly and at a moderate rate
• K
eep tires inflated to the recommended pressure
•T
ravel lightly, without carrying unnecessary
weight in your vehicles
• A
void placing large or heavy items on roof racks
•A
void hilly, winding or poorly maintained roads
REMINDER: Driving range varies depending on a vehicle’s fuel
tank size, e g , 1 2-gal vs 24-gal Even though the two vehicles'
MPG may be the same, the vehicle with the larger tank will have
the greater range

•Even with TPMS, tire pressure should be checked manually at
least once a month Only adjust tire pressure on “cold tires”
•For proper maintenance and optimal fuel economy, maintain
recommended tire inflation pressures and stay within the load
limits and weight distribution recommended for your vehicle
•In winter or cold weather, the TPMS light may illuminate if the tire
pressure was adjusted to the recommended tire inflation pressure
during warm weather
