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 en-
sure the future reliability and economy of
your new vehicle. Failure to follow these
recommendations may result in short-
ened 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 efficiency

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
