DRIVING  FOR ECONOMY
o  Under  some  conditions  your  parking
brake can freeze in the  engaged posi-
tion. This is most likely to happen when
there is an accumulation of snow or ice
around or near the rear brakes or if the
brakes are wet. If there is a risk that the
parking brake may freeze, apply it only
temporarily  while   you  put   the  gear
selector lever  in "P"  (automatic) or  in
first or reverse gear (manual transaxle)
and block  the rear  wheels so  the car
cannot roll.  Then  release the  parking
brake.

o  Take  care  of  your  tires.  Keep  them
inflated to the recommended pressure.
Incorrect inflation,  either  too much  or
too  little,  results  in  unnecessary  tire
wear. Check the tire pressures at least
once a  month.
o  Be  sure  that  the  wheels are  aligned
correctly. Improper  alignment  can re-
sult from hitting curbs or driving too fast
over  irregular   surfaces.  Poor   align-
ment causes faster tire  wear and may
also result in other problems as well as
greater  fuel consumption.
o  Keep  your car  in  good condition.  For
better fuel economy and reduced main-
tenance  costs,  maintain  your  car  in
accordance    with  the   maintenance
schedule in Section 5. If you drive your
car  in   severe  conditions,  more   fre-
quent  maintenance  is  required   (see
Section 5  for details).
o  Keep  your  car   clean.  For  maximum
service, your  Hyundai should  be kept
clean and  free of  corrosive materials.
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  increased   fuel
consumption  and   also  contribute  to
corrosion.
You  can save  fuel  and  get  more miles
from your car if  you follow these sugges-
tions:
o  Drive  smoothly. Accelerate  at a  mod-
erate  rate.   Don't  make  "jack-rabbit"
starts or full-throttle shifts and maintain
a  steady  cruising  speed.  Don't  race
between stoplights.  Try to adjust your
speed to that of the other traffic so you
don't  have to  change  speeds unnec-
essarily. Avoid heavy  traffic whenever
possible. Always  maintain a  safe dis-
tance from  other vehicles  so you can
avoid unnecessary  braking. This  also
reduces  brake wear.
o  Drive  at a moderate speed. The faster
you drive, the more fuel your car uses.
Driving  at  a  moderate  speed,  espe-
cially  on  the  highway,  is one  of  the
most effective ways to reduce fuel con-
sumption.
o  Don't  "ride" the brake  or clutch pedal.
This  can  increase  fuel   consumption
and also increase wear on these com-
ponents. In  addition, driving with  your
foot  resting on  the  brake  pedal  may
cause  the brakes  to  overheat, which
reduces  their  effectiveness  and may
lead  to more  serious consequences.
o  Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade
with  the  accelerator  pedal.  This  can
cause  the  transaxle  to  overheat.  Al-
ways use  the  brake pedal  or parking
brake.
