started, or turn them off when not required.
- Avoid fast starts and accelerate smoothly.

- Avoid idling the engine for long periods of time
- When road and weather conditions are appropriate, use cruise control.
- Always follow posted speed limits or drive more slowly when conditions require.
- Keep vehicle tires properly inflated.

- Replace the vehicle's tires with the same TPC Spec number molded into the
tire's sidewall near the size.
