DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

o  Don't"ride"thebrakeorclutchpedal.
This can increase fuel consumption
and  also increase  wear  on these
components.Inaddition,drivingwith
your foot resting on the brake pedal
may cause the brakes to overheat,
which  reduces their  effectiveness
and may lead to more serious con-
sequences.
o  Take care of your tires. Keep them
inflated to the recommended pres-
sure. Incorrect  inflation, either  too
much or too little, results in unnec-
essarytirewear.Checkthetirepres-
sures at least once a month.
o  Be sure that the wheels are aligned
correctly. Improper  alignment  can
result from  hitting curbs or  driving
toofastoverirregularsurfaces.Poor
alignment causes  faster  tire wear
and may also  result in other prob-
lems as  well  as greater  fuel con-
sumption.
o  Keepyourcaringoodcondition.For
better  fuel economy  and reduced
maintenance costs,  maintain your
car in accordance with the mainte-
nance schedule in Section 5. If you
drive your car in severe conditions,
more frequent  maintenance is  re-
quired (see Section 5 for details).
o  Keep your car clean. For maximum
service,  your  car should  be  kept
clean and free of corrosive materi-
als.  It is  especially important  that
mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed to
accumulate on the underside of the
car. This extra weight can result in
increasedfuelconsumptionandalso
contribute to corrosion.
o  Travel lightly. Don't carry unneces-
sary weight in your car. Weight is an
enemy of good fuel economy.
o  Don't let the engine idle longer than
necessary. If you  are waiting (and
not in  traffic), turn off  your engine
and restart only when you're ready
to go.
o  Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine.
Lugging is driving too slowly in too
high a gear resulting in  the engine
bucking. If this happens to you, shift
to a lower gear.
Over-revving is  racing  the engine
safe limit. This can be
beyond its
avoided  by shifting  at the  recom-
mended speeds.
o  Use your air conditioning sparingly.
The air
conditioningsystemis
operated by  the  engine power  so
your fuel economy is reduced when
you use it.
o  Remember, your  car does  not re-
quire  extended warm-up. As soon
as the engine is running smoothly,
you  can drive  away. In  very  cold
weather,however,giveyourengine
a slightly longer warm-up period.
