Starting and driving

To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one
of the following methods:
. Depress the accelerator pedal. When the

vehicle attains the desired speed, push and
release the COAST/SET switch.

. Push and hold the ACCEL/RES switch.

When the vehicle attains the desired speed,
release the switch.

. Push, then quickly release the ACCEL/RES

switch. Each time you do this, the set speed
will increase by about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h).

To reset at a slower cruising speed, use one
of the following methods:
. Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the

vehicle attains the desired speed, push the
COAST/SET switch and release it.

. Push and hold the COAST/SET switch.

Release the switch when the vehicle slows
down to the desired speed.

. Push, then quickly release the COAST/SET

switch. Each time you do this, the set speed
will decrease by about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h).

To resume the preset speed, push and
release the ACCEL/RES switch. The vehicle
will resume the last set cruising speed when the
vehicle speed is over 25 MPH (40 km/h).

CAUTION

During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km),
follow these recommendations to ob-
tain maximum engine performance and
ensure the future reliability and econo-
my of your new vehicle. Failure to
follow these recommendations may
result in shortened engine life and
reduced engine performance.

. Avoid driving for long periods at constant

speed, either fast or slow. Do not run the
engine over 4,000 rpm.

. Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
. Avoid quick starts.
. Avoid hard braking as much as possible.
. Do not tow a trailer for the first 500 miles

(800 km). Your engine, axle or other parts
could be damaged.

. Accelerate slowly and smoothly. Maintain

cruising speeds with a constant accelerator
position.

. Drive at moderate speeds on the highway.

Driving at high speed lowers fuel economy.

. Avoid unnecessary stopping and braking.

Keep a safe distance behind other vehicles.

. Select a gear range suitable to road condi-

tions.

. Avoid unnecessary engine idling.
. Keep your engine tuned up.
. Follow the recommended periodic mainte-

nance schedule.

. 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.

. Air conditioner operation lowers fuel econ-

omy. Use the air conditioner only when
necessary.

. When cruising at highway speeds, it is more

economical to use the air conditioner and
leave the windows closed to reduce drag.

. Use the recommended viscosity engine oil.

(See “Engine oil and oil filter recommenda-
tion” in the “9. Technical and consumer
information” section.)
