Remember, your Hyundai does not require
extendedwarm-up.Assoonastheengineis
running smoothly, you can drive away. In
verycoldweather,however,giveyourengine
a slightly longer warm-up period.
Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging
is driving too slowly in too high a gear result-

to a lower gear. Over-revving is racing the
engine beyond its safe limit. This can be
avoided by shifting at the recommended
speeds.
