Tips for maximizing your mileage
- Maintain recommended tyre pressures indicated on the driver door sill plate.
- In manual gearboxes, shift up before 2,000 RPM. In automatic transmissions, use gentle throttle inputs.
- Avoid prolonged engine idling at traffic signals; use the Auto-Start-Stop feature if equipped.
- Use AC in recirculation mode once cabin reaches desired temperature to reduce compressor load.
