Driving tips
SUGGESTIONS FOR ECONOMICAL  OPERATION
Your  vehicle's   fuel   economy  depends
mainly on your style of driving, where you
drive and when you  drive.
Each of  these factors  affects how  many
kilometers (miles) you can get from a liter
(gallon)  of fuel.  To operate  your  vehicle
as economically  as possible, use the fol-
lowing  driving suggestions  to  help save
money in both fuel  and repairs:
•  Do  not use  the air  conditioner unnec-
•  Open   windows  at   high  speeds   can
reduce fuel economy.
•  Fuel  economy   is  less  in  crosswinds
and headwinds. To help offset  some of
this  loss,  slow  down when  driving  in
these conditions.
essarily.
Slow   down  when   driving   on  rough
roads.
For longer tire life and better fuel econ-
omy, always  keep  the tires  inflated  to
the recommended pressures.
Maintain  a  safe  distance   from  other
vehicles  to  avoid  sudden  stops. This
will reduce  wear  on brake  linings and
pads. Driving  in  such  a way  will  also
save fuel because extra fuel is required
to accelerate back to  driving speed.
Keeping a vehicle in good operating con-
dition is important  both for economy  and
safety. Therefore, have an authorized Kia
dealer   perform   scheduled  inspections
and maintenance.
Avoid lengthy warm-up idling. Once the
engine is running smoothly,  begin driv-
ing. Remember,  engine warm-up  may
take a little longer  on cold days.
Save fuel  by  accelerating slowly  after
stopping.
Keep the engine in  tune and follow the
recommended   periodic   maintenance
schedule. This  will increase  the life  of
all   parts   and  lower   your   operating
costs.
Do not carry unnecessary weight in the
vehicle.
Do  not  rest   your  foot  on  the   brake
pedal  while   driving.  This  can  cause
needless wear, possible damage to the
brakes, and poor fuel  economy.
Improper  wheel   alignment  results  in
faster tire  wear and  lower fuel  econo-
my.
WARNING - Engine off dur-
ing motion
Never  turn the  engine  off to  coast
down hills or  anytime the vehicle is
in  motion. The power steering  and
power brakes will not function with-
out   the  engine   running.   Instead,
downshift to an appropriate gear for
engine braking effect.
