pressure.
e Always monitor your fuel consumption.
e Drive smoothly, avoid abrupt changes in speed as
much as possible.
e Avoid “jack rabbit” starts and sudden stops.
e Do not drive longer than necessary in the lower
gears. Shifting into a higher gear early without
lugging the engine will help save fuel.

vehicle just before you are ready to drive. Accel-
erate slowly and smoothly.
e Switch off the engine if stationary for longer
periods.
e Any additional weight carried in the vehicle re-
duces fuel economy. Always keep cargo to a
minimum and remove all unnecessary items.
e Organize your trips to take in several errands in
one trip.
e All electrical accessories contribute to increased
fuel consumption.
e Only switch on the air conditioning when
necessary.
e Do not drive with the Roof Transport System
mounted unless you need it.

used for comparison purposes, actual mileage may
