Direct calculation is the recommended method to determine actual fuel consumed while driving.

In Canada, posted fuel economy numbers are established following a simulated test. For more information on how this test is performed, please visit https://www.nrcan.gc.ca and search for “fuel consumption testing” in the search field at the top of the page.

Maintenance and Fuel Economy

You can optimize your fuel economy with proper maintenance of your vehicle. Always maintain your vehicle in accordance with the messages displayed on the driver information interface.

  • Use engine oil with the viscosity recommended.
  • Maintain the specified tire pressure.
  • Do not load the vehicle with excess cargo.
  • Keep your vehicle clean. A buildup of snow or mud on your vehicle's underside adds weight and increases wind resistance.
