SMOOTH CORNERING
WINTER DRIVING
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary
weight in your car. Weight reduces fuel
economy.

Avoid braking or gear changing in cor-
ners, especially when roads are wet. Ide-
ally, corners should always be taken
under gentle acceleration. If you follow
these suggestions, tire wear will be held
to a minimum.
The more severe weather conditions of
winter result in greater wear and other
problems. To minimize the problems of
winter driving, you should follow these
suggestions:
o Don't let the engine idle longer than
necessary. If you are waiting (and not
in traffic), turn off your engine and
restart only when you're ready to go.
o Remember, your Hyundai does not
require extended warm-up. After the
engine has started, allow the engine to
run for 10 to 20 seconds prior to plac-
ing the vehicle in gear. In very cold
weather, however, give your engine 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, shift to a lower
gear. Over-revving is racing the en-
gine beyond its safe limit. This can be
avoided by shifting at the recommend-
ed speeds.
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.
