DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

SMOOTH CORNERING
C150A01A-AAT
Avoid braking or gear changing in cor-
ners, especially when roads are wet.
Ideally, corners should always be taken
under gentle acceleration. If you follow
these suggestions, tire wear will be
held to a minimum.
more frequent maintenance is re-
quired (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 al-
lowed to accumulate on the under-
side of the car. This extra weight
can result in increased fuel con-
sumption and also contribute to cor-
rosion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unneces-
sary weight in your car. Weight re-
duces fuel economy.
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. As soon
as the engine is running smoothly,
you can drive away. 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 engine beyond its safe limit.
This can be avoided by shifting at
the recommended 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.
