Economical operation

This device complies with Industry
Canada licence-exempt RSS stan-
dard(s).

Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1. This device may not cause inter-

ference, and

2. This device must accept any

interference, including interfer-
ence that may cause undesired
operation of the device.

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 (miles) you can get
from a liter (gallon) of fuel.To oper-
ate 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 main-
tain a safe distance from other
vehicles so you can avoid unnec-
essary 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.
