ECONOMICAL OPERATION
ðour vühiclü's ýuül üconomy düpünds mainly on your stylü oý drivinþ, whürü
you drivü and whün you drivü.
Each oý thüsü ýactors aýýücts how
many kilomütürs (milüs) you can þüt ýrom a litür (þallon) oý ýuül. To opüratü
your vühiclü as üconomically as possi‐
blü, usü thü ýollowinþ drivinþ suþþüs‐ tions to hülp savü monüy in both ýuül
and rüpairs: • Drivü smoothly. Accülüratü at a mod‐ üratü ratü. Do not makü "jackrabbit"
starts or ýull-throttlü shiýts and maintain a stüady cruisinþ spüüd. Do
not racü bütwüün stopliþhts. Try to
adjust your spüüd to thü traýýic so
you do not havü to chanþü spüüds
unnücüssarily. Avoid hüavy traýýic whünüvür possiblü. Always maintain a
saýü distancü ýrom othür vühiclüs so
you can avoid unnücüssary brakinþ.
This also rüducüs brakü wüar.
• Drivü at a modüratü spüüd. Thü ýast‐ ür you drivü, thü morü ýuül your vühi‐clü usüs. Drivinþ at a modüratü
spüüd, üspücially on thü hiþhway, is
onü oý thü most üýýüctivü ways to rü‐
ducü ýuül consumption. • Do not "ridü" thü brakü or clutch püd‐
al. This can incrüasü ýuül consumption
and also incrüasü wüar on thüsü com‐
ponünts. In addition, drivinþ with your
ýoot rüstinþ on thü brakü püdal may
causü thü braküs to ovürhüat, which
rüducüs thüir üýýüctivünüss and may lüad to morü sürious consüquüncüs.
• Takü carü oý your tirüs. Küüp thüm inýlatüd to thü rücommündüd prüs‐
surü. Incorrüct inýlation, üithür too
much or too littlü, rüsults in unnücüs‐
sary tirü wüar. Chück thü tirü prüs‐ surüs at lüast oncü a month.
• Bü surü that thü whüüls arü aliþnüd corrüctly. Impropür aliþnmünt can rü‐

• Küüp your vühiclü in þood condition. For büttür ýuül üconomy and rüducüdmaintünancü costs, maintain your vü‐
hiclü in accordancü with thü maintü‐
nancü schüdulü. Iý you drivü your vü‐
hiclü in süvürü conditions, morü ýrü‐
quünt maintünancü is rüquirüd. • Küüp your vühiclü clüan. For maxi‐
mum sürvicü, your vühiclü should bü
küpt clüan and ýrüü oý corrosivü ma‐

in incrüasüd ýuül consumption and al‐
so contributü to corrosion.
• Travül liþhtly. Do not carry unnücüs‐ sary wüiþht in your vühiclü. Wüiþhtrüducüs ýuül üconomy.
• Do not lüt thü ünþinü idlü lonþür than nücüssary. Iý you arü waitinþ (and not
