An animated car drives along an animated 
roadway, and then several vehicles drive along. 
An icon of a foot easing up on the gas pedal
is seen above the roadway scene.

Speed Management

(Announcer: Male voice)
Keeping your speed under control on the 
highway will lower your chance of getting
into a crash. When managing your speed, 
don't rely too much on your speedometer 
to tell you how fast you're going, nor your 
brake to slow you down. Instead of the brake, 
ease up on the gas pedal, especially when it's 
enough to slow down gradually and not 
come to a complete stop.

Gas, Roll and Brake

(IMAGE)
A brake pedal, a gas pedal with a foot on it 
and a speedometer appear above the 
scene in which the car is driving along. 
The foot leaves the gas pedal and covers 
the brake pedal. Then those illustrations 
disappear and the word “ECO” in a circle 
appears above the scene. That is replaced with 
an illustration of brake pads, and then the foot 
on the brake pedal. The car is seen slowing 
down and signaling via brake lights to the 
car that has approached it from behind 
that it is reducing speed. 
 
(Announcer: Male voice)
We recommend using a technique called the 
gas, roll, and brake. First, use the gas pedal 
to accelerate to the desired speed. Next is the 
roll, which means taking your foot off the 
gas and covering the brake to slow down 
automatically. Easing up on the gas pedal as 
opposed to hitting the brakes is more fuel 
efficient and better on your car's tires 
and brakes. However, a slight tap of the 
brakes will activate the brake lights and 
alert the vehicles behind you that 
you're slowing down.

Three lanes of traffic are seen from above. 
A speeding ticket appears over a car 
when it is speeding. Another ticket appears 
when a car is going too slowly. Then a car 
is seen driving alone. An icon of a speedometer 
is shown above the car. A foot on a gas pedal 
appears briefly above the scene, and then 
the speedometer, with an arrow indicating 
the cruise control being set, is followed by 
an equal sign and the word “ECO” in a circle, 
and then ECO is replaced with a speeding 
ticket within a circle and a slash.  

(Announcer: Male voice) 
Going with the flow of traffic could put you 
at risk of getting a speeding ticket, while 
driving too slowly could be a traffic hazard, 
resulting in a ticket. This is when setting 
your cruise control would come in handy. 
Cruise control is a great feature that will 
automatically keep your car driving at a 
set speed. This gives your feet a rest and 
helps you save gas and avoid speeding tickets.

Next, we see a steering wheel and an 
owners manual. 
Then, we see a car driving off.

(Announcer: Male voice)
Familiarize yourself with your car's 
cruise control switches, located on or 
near the steering wheel. Only use cruise 
control in safe, dry road conditions. 
Once you know how to operate cruise 
control, you're in for a 
comfortable, efficient ride.
