DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 15
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
beyond its safe limit. This can be
avoided by shifting at the recom-
mended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly.
The air conditioning system is oper-
ated by the engine power so your
fuel economy is reduced when you
use it.

Electrical System
Winter conditions impose severe de-
mandsuponvehicleelectricalsystems,
particularly the charging circuit. The
battery condition and performance
along with the alternator performance
and drive belt condition should be
checked prior to the onset of winter.
