ECONOMICAL DRIVING
Your fuel economy is affected by several
things, such as how you drive, the
conditions you drive under, and how you
maintain your vehicle.
You may improve your fuel economy by
keeping these things in mind:
•
Accelerate and slow down in a smooth,
moderate fashion.
•
Drive at steady speeds without
stopping.
•
Anticipate stops; slowing down may
eliminate the need to stop.
•
Close the windows for high-speed
driving.
•
Drive at reasonable speeds. Traveling
at 55 mph (90 km/h) uses 15% less
fuel than traveling at 65 mph
(105 km/h).
•
Keep the tires properly inflated and use
only the recommended size.
•
Use the recommended engine oil.
•
Perform all regularly scheduled
maintenance.
Avoid these actions; they reduce your fuel
economy:
•
Sudden accelerations or hard
accelerations.
•
Warm up your vehicle on cold
mornings.
•
Use the air conditioner.
•
Use the speed control in hilly terrain.
•
Rest your foot on the brake pedal while
driving.
•
Carry unnecessary weight.
Approximately 1 mpg [0.4 km/L] is lost
for every 400 lb (180 kg) of weight
carried.
•
Driving with the wheels out of
alignment.

Driving Hints
Conditions
•
Adding certain accessories to your
vehicle may reduce fuel economy. For
example bug deflectors, rollbars, light
bars, running boards, ski racks or
luggage racks.
•
Using fuel blended with alcohol may
lower fuel economy.
•
Fuel economy may decrease with lower
temperatures during the first 5 10 mi
(12 16 km) of driving.
•
Driving on flat terrain offers improved
fuel economy as compared to driving
on hilly terrain.
•
Transmissions give their best fuel
economy when operated in the top
cruise gear and with steady pressure
on the gas pedal.

Winter Grill Cover
The winter grill cover enhances heater
performance and will reduce the amount
of time it takes to warm the inside of your
vehicle in extremely cold conditions below
-0.4°F (-18°C).
The winter grill cover installs over the
outside of the front grill and restricts the
air flowing to the engine compartment by
covering the radiator grill openings.
