• Transmissions give their best fuel

economy when operated in the top

cruise gear and with steady pressure

on the gas pedal.

• Four-wheel-drive operation (if

equipped) is less fuel efficient than

two-wheel-drive operation.

• Close the windows for high-speed

driving.

DRIVING THROUGH WATER

Note: Driving through deep water above

the recommended levels can cause vehicle

damage.

If driving through deep or standing water

is unavoidable, proceed very slowly. Never

drive through water that is higher than the

bottom of the wheel rims (for cars) or the

bottom of the hubs (for trucks).

E142667

When driving through water, traction or

brake capability may be limited. Also,

water may enter your engine’s air intake

and severely damage your engine or your

vehicle may stall.

Once through the water, always dry the

brakes by moving your vehicle slowly while

applying light pressure on the brake pedal.

Wet brakes do not stop the vehicle as

quickly as dry brakes.

FLOOR MATS

E142666

WARNINGS

Always use floor mats that are

designed to fit the foot well of your

vehicle, leaving the pedal area

unobstructed, and which can be firmly

secured to retention posts so that they

cannot slip out of position and interfere

with the pedals or impair safe operation of

your vehicle in other ways.

Incorrectly fitted floor mats can

cause the accelerator pedal to

become stuck in the open position.

This can cause loss of vehicle control.

Always correctly install the floor

mats to the retention posts so that

they cannot slip out of position or

obstruct pedal operation.

Do not place unsecured floor mats

or any other covering in the foot well.

Do not place additional floor mats

or any other covering on top of the

original floor mats. This will reduce

the pedal clearance and interfere with the

pedal operation.

Do not allow objects to fall or

become trapped under the pedals of

your vehicle. This can cause loss of

vehicle control.

Carry out regular inspections to make

sure the floor mats are secure.
