Fuel economy is dependent largely on your
style of driving.
How you drive, where you drive and when you
drive affect how many miles (kilometres) you
can get from a gallon (litres) of fuel.
To obtain maximum fuel economy:
• Accelerate slowly
• Avoid unnecessary idling.
• Keep the engine properly tuned.
• Do not race the engine.
• Use the air conditioning only when neces-
sary.
• Slow down when driving on rough roads.
• Keep the tyres inflated to the recom-
mended pressure.
• Maintain a safe distance from other ve-
hicles to avoid a collision in case of sud-
den stops. This will also reduce wear on
the brake pads and linings.
• Do not carry unnecessary weight.
