Maintenance and care
Carrying unnecessary weight may reduce fuel
economy (approximately 2 km/h [1 mpg] is lost
for every 180 kg [400 lb] of weight carried).
Adding certain accessories to your vehicle (for
example bug deflectors, rollover/light bars,
running boards, ski/luggage racks) may reduce
fuel economy.
Use of fuel blended with alcohol may lower fuel
economy.
Fuel economy may decrease with lower
temperatures during the first 12–16 km
(8–10 miles) of driving.
Flat terrain driving improves fuel economy over
hilly roads.
Transmissions give their best fuel economy when
operated in the top cruise gear and with steady
pressure on the gas pedal.
Close windows for high speed driving.

EPA window sticker

Every new vehicle should have the EPA window
sticker. Contact your dealer if the window sticker is
not supplied with your vehicle. The EPA window
sticker should be your guide for the fuel economy
comparisons with other vehicles.
It is important to note the box in the lower left
corner of the window sticker. These numbers
represent the Range of Km/L (MPG) expected on
the vehicle, depending upon the driver's method of
operation and conditions.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

Your vehicle is equipped with various emission
control components and a catalytic converter which
will enable your vehicle to comply with applicable

catalytic converter and other emission control
components continue to work properly:
