ADVICE FOR YOUR DRIVING
69TB-01E
Avoid fast starts, rapid acceleration
and hard braking
Avoid fast starts
Fast starts away from lights or stop signs
will consume fuel unnecessarily and
shorten engine life. Start off slowly.
Avoid unnecessary stops
Avoid unnecessary deceleration and stop-
ping. Try to maintain a moderate, steady
speed whenever possible. Slowing down
and then accelerating again uses more
fuel.
Keep a steady cruising speed
Drive at a constant speed that road and
traffic conditions will permit.
Do not race the engine
69RHS060
Revving the engine only consumes extra
fuel and has no benefit.
Drive with an appropriate gear for
vehicle speed
Running the vehicle at a high engine rota-
tion speed by using a low-speed gear will
result in poor fuel economy. Use the cor-
rect gear according to the vehicle speed.
Keep the air cleaner clean
59RN06050
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there
will be greater intake resistance, resulting
in decreased power output and increased
fuel consumption.
NOTICE
Immediately after starting, the engine
is often not yet fully warmed up.
Therefore, revving the engine, start-
ing to drive suddenly, or rapid accel-
eration can cause engine failure.
