• Minimize A/C and defroster usage. Selecting MAX A/C, defrost, or

defrost/floor mode on the climate control system will force the engine

to run continuously and reduce fuel economy.

• Minimize temperature extremes when the vehicle is parked, for

example by storing in a garage to avoid extreme cold in winter and

extreme sun loads in summer. The high voltage battery operates more

efficiently in moderate temperatures.

• Combine errands. Your vehicle is more fuel efficient when the engine

is warm. Driving to your farthest destination first will warm the engine

more quickly and may improve fuel economy for the rest of the trip.

Maintenance

• Keep tires properly inflated and use only recommended size.

• Keep wheels properly aligned.

• Use recommended engine oil. Refer to Lubricant specifications 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 300 lb [136 kg] of weight carried).

• Adding certain accessories to your vehicle (for example bug

deflectors, rollbars/light bars, running boards, ski/luggage racks, flags)

may reduce fuel economy.

• Using fuel blended with alcohol may lower fuel economy.

• Driving on flat terrain offers improved fuel economy as compared to

driving on hilly terrain.

• Close windows for high speed driving.

EPA window sticker

Every new vehicle should have the EPA window sticker. Contact your

authorized dealer if the window sticker is not supplied with your vehicle.

The EPA window sticker should be your guide for the fuel economy

comparisons with other vehicles.

It is important to note the box in the lower left corner of the window

sticker. These numbers represent the Range of MPG (L/100 km)
