DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
19
o Remember, your car does not re-
quire 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 to you, shift
to a lower gear.
Over-revving is racing the engine
beyond its safe limit. This can be
avoided by shifting at the recom-
mended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly.
The air conditioning system is oper-
ated by the engine power so your fuel
economy is reduced when you use it.
SMOOTH CORNERING
SC160A1-F
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, tyre wear will be
held to a minimum.
WINTER MOTORING
SC170A1-E
The onset of winter conditions subject
motor vehicles to greater operating de-
mands. Therefore, the following sug-
gestions will assist in maintaining peak
performance and reliability during these
periods:
ZC170B1-E
Electrical System
Winter conditions impose severe de-
mands upon vehicle electrical systems,
particularly the charging circuit. The
battery condition and performance along
with the alternator performance and
drive belt condition should be checked
prior to the onset of winter.
