o Keep your car clean. For maximum
service, your Hyundai should be
kept clean and free of corrosive
materials. It is especially important
that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be al-
lowed to accumulate on the under-
side of the car. This extra weight
can result in increased fuel con-
sumptionandalsocontributetocor-
rosion.

gine.Labouring isdrivingtooslowly

o Use your air conditioning sparingly.
The air conditioning system is oper-
ated by engine power so your fuel
economy is reduced when you use
it.
