Use Eco drive mode in city
Eco mode softens throttle response in stop-start traffic.
⚡
Avoid long idling
Turn the engine off at halts longer than 60 seconds.
✈️
Service the air filter on time
A clogged filter forces the engine to work harder.

Load light, roof clear
Roof racks and excess cargo increase drag and weight.
〰️
Smooth acceleration
Gentle throttle inputs reduce fuel-heavy spikes.
