Driving your vehicle
Remember,   your   vehicle   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.
Keeping a vehicle in good operating con-
dition is important  both for economy and
safety.  Therefore,   have  an   authorized
HYUNDAI   dealer   perform   scheduled
inspections and maintenance.

Lugging    is driving  too  slowly  in  too
high a gear resulting engine bucking. If
this  happens,  shift  to   a  lower  gear.
Over-revving   is   racing   the   engine
beyond its safe limit.This can be avoid-
ed  by  shifting   at  the  recommended
speeds.
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
properly  without   the  engine  run-
ning.  Instead, keep  the  engine  on

gear  for  engine  braking  effect.  In
addition,  turning   off  the   ignition
while   driving   could   engage   the
