DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 17
o Remember, your car does not re-
quire extended warm-up. As soon
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 to you, shift
to a lower gear.
Over-revving is racing the engine
beyond its safe limit. This can be
avoided by shifting at the recom-
mended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly.
The air conditioning system is oper-
ated by the engine power so your
fuel economy is reduced when you
use it.

these suggestions, tyre wear will be
held to a minimum.
The cooling system must always con-
tain an Ethylene-Glycol based anti-
freeze solution. The system is filled
during manufacture with solution of

WINTER MOTORING
NOTE:
The anti-freeze solution contains a
corrosion inhibitor to prevent deg-
radation of the aluminum castings
contained within the engine. There-
fore, never, drain the system and
refill with water only.
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:
In addition, anti-freeze solution must
ALWAYS be used in vehicles fitted
with air conditioning, to prevent the
heater matrix from freezing and sub-
sequently bursting with the refrigera-
tion system in use.

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.
