. Keep your engine tuned up.
. Follow the recommended scheduled main-

tenance.

. Keep the tires inflated to the correct

pressure. Low tire pressure increases tire
wear and lowers fuel economy.

. Keep the wheels in correct alignment.

Improper alignment increases tire wear and
lowers fuel economy.

. Use the recommended viscosity engine oil.

(See “Engine oil and oil filter recommenda-
tion” (P.9-6).)

WARNING

. For AWD equipped vehicles, do not

attempt to raise two wheels off the
ground and shift the transmission to
any drive or reverse position with
the engine running. Doing so may
result in drivetrain damage or un-
expected vehicle movement which
could result in serious vehicle da-
mage or personal injury.

. Do not attempt to test an AWD

equipped vehicle on a 2-wheel dy-
namometer (such as the dynam-
ometers used by some states for
emissions testing) or similar equip-
ment even if the other two wheels
are raised off the ground. Make sure
that you inform the test facility
personnel that your vehicle is
equipped with AWD before it is
placed on a dynamometer. Using
the wrong test equipment may re-
sult in drivetrain damage or unex-
pected vehicle movement which
could result in serious vehicle da-
mage or personal injury.
