Performance Features That Help the Equinox Fuel Economy

Like all new Chevy SUVs, the Equinox is equipped with performance features that help it earn impressive gas mileage numbers. 

• Automatic Stop/Start: This feature shuts down the engine when you’re at a complete stop with your foot on the brake pedal, helping you conserve gas while stopped at a long traffic light. The engine restarts automatically when you release your foot from the brake. In the event that you wish to turn this feature off, there’s a switch that will turn off Automatic Stop/Start until the next time you turn the vehicle on.
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): Many drivers don’t think about it, but tire pressure can have a significant impact on fuel consumption. If the tires are underinflated, the vehicle may use fuel more rapidly to compensate. Fortunately, the Equinox is standard-equipped with a TPMS that will alert you if your tires need air.
