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
