MH0-74E

If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there

will be greater intake resistance, resulting

in decreased power output and increased

fuel consumption.

Keep weight to a minimum

The heavier the load, the more fuel the

vehicle consumes. Take out any luggage or

cargo when it is not necessary.

Keep tire pressures correct

Underinflation of the tires can waste fuel

due to increased running resistance of the

tires. Keep your tires inflated to the correct

pressure shown on the label on the driver’s

side door or the driver’s door lock pillar.

Highway Driving

When driving at highway speeds, pay

attention to the following:

 Stopping distance progressively increa-

ses with vehicle speed. Apply the brakes

far enough ahead of the stopping point

to allow for the extra stopping distance.

 On rainy days, “Hydroplaning” can occur.

“Hydroplaning” is the loss of direct

contact between the road surface and

the vehicle’s tires due to a water film

forming between them. Steering or

braking the vehicle while “Hydroplaning”

can be very difficult, and loss of control

can occur. Keep speed down when the

road surface is wet.

Driving on Hills

EXAMPLE

MH0-07-014

 When climbing steep hills, the vehicle

may begin to slow down and show a lack

of power. If this happens, you should shift

to a lower gear so that the engine will

again be operating in its normal power

range. Shift rapidly to prevent the vehicle

from losing momentum.

 When driving down a hill, the engine

should be used for braking by shifting

into a lower gear.

Try not to hold the brake pedal down

too long or too often while going

down a steep or long hill. This could

cause the brakes to overheat,

resulting in reduced braking efficiency.

Failure to take this precaution could

result in loss of vehicle control.

WARNING

NOTICE

When descending a down hill, NEVER

turn the ignition key to the “LOCK”

position. Emission control system

damage may result.

Driving on Slippery Roads

EXAMPLE

MH0-07-014

Under wet road conditions you should drive

 At high speeds, the vehicle may be

affected by side winds. Therefore, reduce

speed and be prepared for unexpected

buffeting, which can occur at the exits

of tunnels, when passing by a cut of a

hill, or when being overtaken by large

vehicles, etc.
