quences.
o Take care of your tyres. Keep them
inflated to the recommended pres-
sure. Incorrect inflation, either too
much or too little, results in unnec-
essary tyre wear. Check the tyre
pressures 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 tyre wear
and may also result in other prob-
lems as well as greater fuel con-
sumption.
o Since the power assistance pro-
vided by the brake servo is derived
from the engine, coasting with the
engine turned off or towing of the
vehicle with the engine turned off
will result in greatly increased pedal
pressuresbeingrequiredtostopthe
vehicle.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the up-
grade with the accelerator pedal.
This can cause the transmission to
overheat. Always use the brake
pedal or parking brake.
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. Always maintain a safe
distance from other vehicles so you
canavoidunnecessarybraking.This
also reduces brake wear.
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-
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,
