Increasing fuel economy

● Keep your engine tuned up.
● Follow the recommended scheduled maintenance.
● Keep the tires inflated to the correct pressure.

Low tire pressure increases tire wear and lowers fuel economy.
● Keep the wheels in correct alignment. Improper alignment increases tire wear and lowers fuel economy.
● Use the recommended viscosity engine oil.

See “Engine oil and oil filter recommendations” in “Technical and consumer information” later in this manual.
