temperature after the engine is started,
or turn them off when not required.
- Avoid fast starts and accelerate smoothly.
- Brake gradually and avoid abrupt stops.

of time.
- When road and weather conditions are
appropriate, use cruise control.
- Always follow posted speed limits or
drive more slowly when conditions
require.

- Combine several trips into a single trip.
- Replace the vehicle's tires with the same
TPC Spec number molded into the tire's
sidewall near the size.
- Follow recommended scheduled
maintenance.
