Lincoln Nautilus: Driving Hints / Driving Economically. Floor Mats
Driving Economically
The following helps to improve fuel
consumption:
- Drive smoothly, accelerate gently and
anticipate the road ahead to avoid heavy
braking.
- Regularly check your tire pressures and
make sure that they are inflated to the
correct pressure.
- Follow the recommended maintenance
schedule and carry out the
recommended checks.
- Plan your journey and check the traffic
before you set off. It is more efficient to
combine errands into a single trip
whenever possible.
- Avoid idling the engine in cold weather
or for extended periods. Start the engine
only when you are ready to set off.
- Do not carry unnecessary weight in your
vehicle as extra weight wastes fuel.
- Do not add unnecessary accessories to
the exterior of your vehicle, for example
running boards. If you use a roof rack,
remember to fold it down or remove it
when not in use.
- Do not shift into neutral when you are
braking or when your vehicle is slowing
down.
- Shut all windows when driving at high
speeds.
- Switch off all electric systems when not
in use, for example air conditioning. Make
sure that you unplug any accessories
from the auxiliary power points when not
in use.
