Operating a vehicle with the wheels out of alignment will reduce fuel
economy.

Use recommended engine oil. Refer to

Maintenance product

specifications and capacities

in this chapter.

Perform all regularly scheduled maintenance items. Follow the
recommended maintenance schedule and owner maintenance checks
found in

scheduled maintenance information.

Conditions

Heavily loading a vehicle or towing a trailer may reduce fuel economy
at any speed.

Carrying unnecessary weight may reduce fuel economy (approximately
1 mpg [0.4 km/L] is lost for every 400 lb [180 kg] of weight carried).

Adding certain accessories to your vehicle (for example bug
deflectors, rollbars/light bars, running boards, ski racks) may reduce
fuel economy.

Using fuel blended with alcohol may lower fuel economy.

Fuel economy may decrease with lower temperatures during the first
8–10 miles (12–16 km) of driving.

Driving on flat terrain offers improved fuel economy as compared to
driving on hilly terrain.

Transmissions give their best fuel economy when operated in the top
cruise gear and with steady pressure on the gas pedal.

Close windows for high speed driving.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

Your vehicle is equipped with various emission control components and a
catalytic converter which will enable your vehicle to comply with
applicable exhaust emission standards. To make sure that the catalytic
converter and other emission control components continue to work
properly:

Use only the specified fuel listed.

Avoid running out of fuel.

Do not turn off the ignition while your vehicle is moving, especially at
high speeds.

Have the items listed in the

scheduled maintenance

section

performed according to the specified schedule.
