- Use the air conditioner only when necessary.

- Slow down on rough roads.

- Keep the tires properly inflated.

WARNING.

Never stop the engine when going down a hill:
Stopping the engine when going down a hill is dangerous. This causes the loss of power steering and power brake control, and may cause damage to the drivetrain. Any loss of steering or braking control could cause an accident.
