To reset at a slower cruising speed, use one
of the following three methods.

● Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the ve-

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

● Push and hold the COAST/SET switch. Re-

lease the switch when the vehicle slows to
the desired speed.

● Push and release the COAST/SET switch.

Each time you do this, the set speed de-
creases by about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h).

To resume the preset speed, push and re-
lease the ACCEL/RES switch. The vehicle re-
turns to 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 obtain
maximum engine performance and ensure
the future reliability and economy of your
new vehicle. Failure to follow these rec-
ommendations may result in shortened
engine

life

and

reduced

engine

performance.

● Avoid driving for long periods at constant

speed, either fast or slow, and 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.

Follow these easy-to-use Fuel Efficient Driving
Tips to help you achieve the most fuel economy
from your vehicle.

1. Use Smooth Accelerator and Brake

Pedal Application

● Avoid rapid starts and stops.
● Use smooth, gentle accelerator and

brake application whenever possible.

● Maintain constant speed while commut-

ing and coast whenever possible.

2. Maintain Constant Speed

● Look ahead to try and anticipate and mini-

mize stops.

● Synchronizing your speed with traffic

lights allows you to reduce your number
of stops.

● Maintaining a steady speed can minimize

red light stops and improve fuel effi-
ciency.

3. Use Air Conditioning (A/C) at Higher

Vehicle Speeds

● Below 40 MPH (64 km/h), it is more

efficient to open windows to cool the
vehicle due to reduced engine load.
