Anticipation
Adjust your vehicle speed and the distance
to other vehicles without the need for
heavy braking or acceleration.
Efficient Speed
Higher speeds use more fuel. Reduce your
cruising speed on open roads.
Accessories
Try not to add unnecessary accessories to
the exterior of your vehicle. If you use a roof
rack, remember to fold it down or remove
it when not in use.
Electrical Systems
Switch off all electrical systems when not
in use, for example air conditioning. Make
sure you unplug any accessories from the
auxiliary power points when not in use.

When driving through standing water, drive
very slowly and do not stop your vehicle.
Your brake performance and traction may
be limited. After driving through water and
as soon as it is safe to do so:
Lightly press the brake pedal to dry the
brakes and to check that they work.
Check that the horn works.
Check that the exterior lights work.
Turn the steering wheel to check that
the steering power assist works.

FLOOR MATS

Always use floor mats that are
designed to fit the foot well of your
vehicle. Only use floor mats that
leave the pedal area unobstructed. Only
use floor mats that are firmly secured to
retention posts so that they cannot slip out
of position and interfere with the pedals
or impair safe operation of your vehicle in
other ways.
