24 In Brief
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.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is used
with diesel engines to reduce the
amount of regulated emissionsproduced. The DEF system must be
maintained for the vehicle to run
properly.
DEF is not a fuel additive. For
refilling instructions, see
Diesel
Exhaust Fluid 0189. DEF should
not be mixed with or added to diesel
fuel. DEF freezes when exposed to
temperature below −11 °C (12 ° F).
Locating Diesel Exhaust Fluid
DEF can be purchased at a dealer.
It can also be purchased at
authorized vehicle and truck
dealerships. Additionally, some
diesel truck fueling stations or
retailers may have DEF for
purchase. See Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants 0349.
When the remaining level of DEF
becomes excessively low the DEF
gauge will change color from green
to amber. In addition, warning and
indicator lights will come on and
engine power will be reduced so the
vehicle speed will not exceed
89 km/h (55 MPH). See Diesel
Exhaust Fluid 0189.

unlock button to unlock the doors,
the automatic locking function of the
system will lock the doors again to
prevent theft.

power plant, radio station, etc. or
under any conditions involving
strong electrical disturbances, the
remote control unit operating range
might change or the keyless entry
system might not work.
The keyless entry system does not
operate in the following cases:
.
The engine control switch is in
the "ON" position.
. The key is inserted in the engine
control switch.

{Warning
When changing the battery, use
only a battery of the same type as
the original battery, or an
equivalent. Otherwise, there is a
risk of explosion.
Do not place the battery in direct
sunlight, or near a fire or other
sources of heat.
Be sure to install the battery with
the "+" and "-" sides correctly
oriented. Incorrect installation will
result in leakage of chemicals
from inside the battery or other
operational problems.
You and others could be seriously
injured.
The battery life varies depending on
how the remote control unit is used.
The battery has reached its end of
life when the remote control unit
works intermittently or does not
work at all. Replace the battery as
soon as this happens.
