14   DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
o  Drive  at  a  moderate  speed.  The
faster you drive, the more fuel your
car  uses.  Driving  at  a  moderate
speed,especiallyonthehighway,is
one of  the most  effective ways  to
reduce fuel consumption.
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 tyres. Keep them
inflated to the recommended pres-
sure. Incorrect infla-tion, either too
much or too little, results in unnec-
essary  tyre wear.  Check  the tyre
pres-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 tyre wear
and may also  result in other prob-
lems as  well  as greater  fuel con-
sumption.
These  roads should  be  driven  at
reducedspeeds.Thesafetyfeatures
of an ABS equipped vehicle should
not be tested by high speed driving
or cornering. This could  endanger
the safety of yourself or others.
!
WARNING:
ABS will not prevent accidents due
to improper  or  dangerous driving
maneuvers.  Even  though  vehicle
control  is improved  during  emer-
gency braking,  always  maintain a
safe distance between you and ob-
jects ahead. Vehicle speeds should
always be reduced during extreme
road conditions.
The   braking   distance    for  cars
equipped with an anti-lock braking
systemmaybelongerthanforthose
without it in the following road con-
ditions.

DRIVING FOR ECONOMY
You can save fuel and get more miles
from your car if you follow these sug-
gestions:
o  Drive  smoothly.   Accelerate  at  a
moderate  rate. Don't  make  "jack-
rabbit"  starts  or  full-throttle  shifts
and  maintain   a  steady   cruising
speed.  Don't  race between  stop-
lights. Try  to adjust your  speed to
that of the other traffic so you don't
have to  change speeds  unneces-
sarily.
Avoid heavy traffic  whenever pos-
sible. Al-ways maintain a  safe dis-
tance  from other  vehicles  so you
canavoidunnecessarybraking.This
also reduces brake wear.
o  Drivingonrough,gravelorsnow-
covered roads.
o  Drivingwithtyrechainsinstalled.
o  Driving on roads where the road
surface is pitted or has different
surface height.
