Accelerator pedal/brake pedal operation

Drive your vehicle smoothly. Avoid abrupt acceleration and deceler-

ation. Gradual acceleration and deceleration will help reduce

excessive fuel consumption.

When braking

Observe conditions in front of and around the vehicle, and estimate

your stopping position. Release the accelerator pedal early and

continue coasting. Use the brake pedal to adjust your stopping

position. Make sure to operate the brake pedal gently.

Repeated acceleration and deceleration, as well as long waits at

traffic lights, will lead to bad fuel economy. Check traffic reports

before leaving and avoid delays as much as possible.

Highway driving

Control and maintain the vehicle at a constant speed. Before stop-

ping at a toll booth or similar, allow plenty of time to release the

accelerator pedal and gently apply the brakes.
