Try to maintain a constant speed.
Every time you slow down and
speed up, your vehicle uses extra
fuel. Use the cruise control when
appropriate.

Combine several short trips into
one.

The air conditioning puts an extra
load on the engine which makes it
use more fuel. Use the fresh-air
ventilation when possible.

Always maintain your vehicle
according to the maintenance
schedule. See

on page

.

an underinflated tire

causes more ‘‘rolling resistance,’’
which uses more fuel.

The build-up of snow or mud on
your vehicle’s underside adds
weight and rolling resistance.
Frequent cleaning helps your fuel
mileage and reduces the chance of
corrosion.

Drive moderately. Rapid
acceleration, abrupt cornering,
and hard braking use more fuel.

Always drive in the highest gear
possible.

Look at the coolant level in the
radiator reserve tank. Make sure it is
between the MAX and MIN lines. If
it is below the MIN line, see

information on adding the proper
coolant.
