Lincoln Aviator: Driving Hints / Economical Driving
Your fuel economy is affected by several
things, such as how you drive, the conditions
you drive under, and how you maintain your
vehicle.
You may improve your fuel economy by
keeping these things in mind:
- Accelerate and slow down in a smooth,
moderate fashion.
- Drive at steady speeds without stopping.
- Anticipate stops; slowing down may
eliminate the need to stop.
- Combine errands and minimize
stop-and-go driving.
- Close the windows for high-speed
driving.
- Drive at reasonable speeds (traveling at
55 mph [88 km/h] uses 15% less fuel than
traveling at 65 mph [105 km/h]).
- Keep the tires properly inflated and use
only the recommended size.
- Use the recommended engine oil.
- Perform all regularly scheduled
maintenance.
Avoid these actions; they reduce your fuel
economy:
- Sudden accelerations or hard
accelerations.
- Revving the engine before turning it off.
- Idle for periods longer than one minute.
- Warm up your vehicle on cold mornings.
- Use the air conditioner or front defroster.
- Use the speed control in hilly terrain.
- Rest your foot on the brake pedal while
driving.
- Drive a heavily loaded vehicle or tow a
trailer.
- Carry unnecessary weight (approximately
1 mpg [0.4 km/L] is lost for every 400 lb
[180 kilogram] of weight carried).
- Driving with the wheels out of alignment.
Conditions
- Heavily loading a vehicle or towing a
trailer may reduce fuel economy at any
speed.
- Adding certain accessories to your
vehicle (for example bug deflectors,
rollbars, light bars, running boards, ski
racks or luggage racks) may reduce fuel
economy.
- To maximize the fuel economy, drive with
the tonneau cover installed (if equipped).
- Using fuel blended with alcohol may
lower fuel economy.
- Fuel economy may decrease with lower
temperatures during the first 5–10 mi
(12–16 km) of driving.
- Driving on flat terrain offers improved fuel
economy as compared to driving on hilly
terrain.
- Transmissions give their best fuel
economy when operated in the top cruise
gear and with steady pressure on the gas
pedal.
- Four-wheel-drive operation (if equipped)
is less fuel efficient than two-wheel-drive
operation.
WARNING: If you continue to drive
your vehicle when the engine is
overheating, the engine could stop without
warning. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle...
Cold Weather Precautions
The functional operation of some
components and systems can be affected at
temperatures below approximately -13°F
(-25°C)...
