D Keep your vehicle tuned-up and in top shape. Brakes not adjusted, etc. will lower motor performance and contribute to poor power saving. For longer life of all parts and lower operating costs, keep all maintenance work on schedule, and if you often drive under severe conditions, see that your vehicle receives more frequent maintenance. CAUTION Never turn off the traction motor to coast down hills. Your power steering and brake booster will not function unless the motor switch is at "ON" position. 145
