Fuel economy
Fuel economy is dependent on many factors. Your personal driving habits can have a significant effect on your fuel use. Several recommendations for achieving the greatest fuel econ- omy 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.
● Do not overload your vehicle.
Driving, alcohol and drugs
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.
WARNING! ● NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE.
Your perceptions are less accurate, your reflexes are slower and your judgment is impaired.
