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 tires. Keep them
inflated to the recommended pres-
sure. Incorrect inflation, either too
much or too little, results in unnec-
essarytirewear.Checkthetirepres-
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 tire wear
and may also result in other prob-
lems as well as greater fuel con-
sumption.
During these conditions, the ve-
hicle should be driven at reduced
speeds. The safety features 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.

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
possible.

o Driving with tire chains installed.
o Driving on roads where the road
surface is pitted or has different
surface height.
