Economical operation
Resuming cruising speed at more
than approximately 30 km/h
If any method other than the
CRUISE button was used to cancel
cruising speed and the system is still
activated, the most recent set
speed will automatically resume
when you move the lever up (to
RES+).
It will not resume, however, if the
vehicle speed has dropped below
approximately 30 km/h.
Turning cruise control off
Follow either of these procedures:
䳜 Press the CRUISE button (The
cruise status on the LCD screen
will disappear).
䳜 Turn the ignition off.
Both of these actions cancel cruise
control operation. If you want to
resume cruise control operation,
repeat the steps provided in "Set
ting cruise control speed" on page
6-61.
Economical operation
Your vehicle's fuel economy depends
mainly on your style of driving,
where you drive and when you drive.
Each of these factors affects how
many kilometers you can get from a
liter of fuel. To operate your vehicle
as economically as possible, use the
following driving suggestions to help
save money in both fuel and repairs:
䳜 Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a
moderate rate. Don't make "jack
rabbit" starts or full-throttle
shifts and maintain a steady
cruising speed. Don't race
between stoplights. Try to adjust
your speed to the traffic so you
don't have to change speeds
unnecessarily. Avoid heavy traffic
whenever possible.
Always maintain a safe distance
from other vehicles so you can
avoid unnecessary braking. This
also reduces brake wear.
䳜 Drive at a moderate speed. The
faster you drive, the more fuel
your vehicle uses. Driving at a
moderate speed, especially on the
highway, is one of the most
effective ways to reduce fuel con
sumption.
