Achieving fuel economy and reducing CO

 emissions is dependent on several 

factors, including driving conditions, load weight, idling time, driving habits, and 
vehicle condition. Depending on these and other factors, you may not achieve the 
rated fuel economy of this vehicle.

You can optimize your fuel economy with proper maintenance of your vehicle. 
Always maintain your vehicle in accordance with the messages displayed on the 
driver information interface.

Maintain the specified tire pressure.

•

Do not load the vehicle with excess cargo.

•

Keep your vehicle clean. A buildup of snow or mud on your vehicle's underside 
adds weight and increases wind resistance.

Direct calculation is the recommended method to 
determine actual fuel consumed while driving.

In Canada, posted fuel economy numbers are 
established following a simulated test. For more 
information on how this test is performed, please visit

 and search for “fuel 

consumption testing” in the search field at the top of
