Power Outlets
You can plug in auxiliary electrical
equipment. Just flip the outlet cover
open from the left edge of the cover
and follow the proper installation
instructions that are included with
any electrical equipment you install.
These circuits are protected by a
fuse and have maximum current
loads.
SeePower Outlets 074.
Performance and
Maintenance
Driving for Better Fuel
Economy
Economical Driving
How you drive, where you drive and
when you drive all affect fuel
economy.
For diesel vehicles, driving too fast,
driving so slowly that the engine
knocks, driving with the exhaust
brake switched on all the time, and
frequently using the exhaust brake
to adjust your speed can lead to
poor fuel economy.
Drive at a constant speed as much
as possible. When accelerating,
increase your speed gently and
slowly, and up-shift early.
Maintain a constant cruising speed,
as traffic allows, and avoid sudden
stops. Frequent short trips, excessive
idling and use of the air conditioner
in cool weather when "Vent" would
provide adequate comfort, can all
lead to decreased fuel economy.
Warming up the engine for longer
than necessary, driving with the
vehicle overloaded and revving the
engine are a waste of fuel.
Overcooling of the engine not only
accelerates wear of the vital engine
parts but also hurts fuel economy.
The careful attention you give your
vehicle, as far as maintenance is
concerned, will also help fuel
economy.
Protection of Engine against
Overcooling
Overcooling of the engine not only
accelerates wear of the vital engine
parts but also hurts fuel economy.
