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 vehi-
cle as economically as possible, use the
following   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,
keep  the  engine  on  and  downshift
to  an  appropriate  gear  for  engine
braking effect.
