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.
