o Travel lightly. Don't carry unneces-
sary weight in your car. Weight re-
duces fuel economy.
Avoid braking or gear changing in cor-
ners, especially when roads are wet.

The onset of winter conditions subject
motor vehicles to greater operating
demands. Therefore, the following
suggestions will assist in maintaining
peak performance and reliability dur-
ing these periods:
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.

Electrical System
Winter conditions impose severe de-
mandsuponvehicleelectricalsystems,
particularly the charging circuit. The
battery condition and performance
along with the alternator performance
and drive belt condition should be
checked prior to the onset of winter.
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 "labour" or "over-rev" the en-
gine.Labouring isdrivingtooslowly
in too high a gear resulting in the

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.
