DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

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.
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  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.
o  Travel lightly. Don't carry unneces-
sary weight in your car. Weight re-
duces 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  Remember, your Hyundai does not
requireextendedwarm-up.Assoon
as the engine is running smoothly,
you  can drive  away. In  very  cold
weather,however,giveyourengine
a slightly longer warm-up period.
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, shift to  a
lower gear.  Over-revving is racing
the  engine  beyond  its  safe  limit.
This can be  avoided by shifting  at
the recommended speeds.
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.
