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,
which  reduces their  effectiveness
and may lead to more serious con-
sequences.
o  Take care of your tires. Keep them
inflated to the recommended pres-
sure. Incorrect  inflation, either  too
much or too little, results in unnec-
essarytirewear.Checkthetirepres-
sures 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  tire wear
and may also  result in other prob-
lems as  well  as greater  fuel con-
sumption.
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,yourHyundaishouldbekept
clean and free of corrosive materi-
als.  It is  especially important  that
mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed to
accumulate on the underside of the
car. This extra weight can result in
increasedfuelconsumptionandalso
contribute to corrosion.
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.

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.

held to a minimum.
o  Don't let the engine idle longer than
necessary.Ifyouarewaiting(andnot
in traffic),  turn off  your engine and
restart only when you're ready to go.

require extended warm-up. After the

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, shift to  a
lower gear.  Over-revving is racing
