2013 Hyundai I30 Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
Keep  your  vehicle in  good  condition.
For better  fuel  economy and  reduced
maintenance costs, maintain your vehi-
cle  in   accordance  with   the  mainte-
nance  schedule  in  section  7.  If  you
drive your vehicle in severe conditions,
more frequent maintenance is required
(see section 7 for details).
Keep your vehicle clean. For maximum
service,  your  vehicle  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  vehicle. This
extra  weight  can  result  in  increased
fuel  consumption and  also  contribute
to corrosion.
Travel lightly.  Don't carry unnecessary
weight in your vehicle. Weight reduces
fuel economy.
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.
•  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.
WARNING - Engine off dur-
ing motion
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
and  downshift   to  an   appropriate
gear  for  engine  braking  effect.  In
addition,  turning   off  the   ignition
while   driving   could   engage   the
steering   wheel  lock   resulting   in
loss   of   vehicle    steering   which
•  Don't  "lug"  or  "over-rev"  the   engine.
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.
•  Use   your  air   conditioning  sparingly.
The air  conditioning system is  operat-
ed by engine power so your  fuel econ-
omy is reduced when you use it.
•  Open  windows   at  high   speeds  can
reduce fuel economy.
•  Fuel  economy  is  less  in   crosswinds
and headwinds. To help offset some of
this  loss,  slow down  when  driving  in
these conditions.
could  cause    serious    injury    or
death.
Keeping a vehicle in good operating con-
dition is important  both for economy and
safety.We recommend in general that the
vehicle  be   serviced  by  an   authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
