TRIP B:
Second distance from the first
destination to the final destination. When the TRIP switch is pressed for more than 1 second, trip odometer willreset to 0. NOTE: Any alteration of the odometer may void your warranty coverage. 2. Trip Odometer
o This mode indicates the drive dis-
tance travelled since the last drive time reset.
o Refer to the explanation of the trip
computer (see page 1-68, Tripmeter).

o Pressing the TRIP switch for more
than 1 second when the tripmeter isbeing displayed clears the tripmeter to zero.
o The meter's working range is from 0 to 999.9 kms (999.9 miles). B400B03MC

(L/100km or MPG)
B400B04MC
o This mode calculates the average fuel consumption from the total fuel used and the distance since the lastaverage consumption reset.
o The total fuel used is calculated from
the fuel consumption input.
o Average fuel consumption is reset to zero (--) if the battery is discon-nected.
o To reset the average fuel consump- tion to zero (--), press the TRIPswitch for more than 1 second.
o When you drive 0.5 km (0.5 mile) and less after resetting, the average fuelconsumption will be displayed to '--'.

Average Fuel Consumption
o When the distance to empty is less
than 50 km (30 miles), the distance to empty digits (----) will blink untilmore fuel is added.
NOTE:
o The distance to empty can differ from the actual tripmeter accord- ing to driving conditions.
o The distance to empty can vary according to the driving condi-tions, driving pattern or vehicle speed.
4. Distance to Empty
(km or miles)
o This mode indicates the estimated distance to empty from the currentfuel level in the fuel tank.
o The trip computer may not register
additional fuel if less than 6 liters(1.36 gallons) of fuel are added to the vehicle. B400B05MC

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
17DRIVING FOR ECONOMY
C140A01A-GAT You can save fuel and get more kilo- meters from your car if you follow these suggestions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate rate. Don't make "jack- rabbit" starts or full-throttle shiftsand maintain a steady cruising speed. Don't race between stop- lights. Try to adjust your speed tothat of the other traffic so you don't have to change speeds unneces- sarily. Avoid heavy traffic wheneverpossible. Always maintain a safe distance from other vehicles so you can avoidunnecessary braking. This also re- duces brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel yourcar uses. Driving at a moderate speed, especially on the highway, isone of the most effective ways to reduce fuel consumption. more frequent maintenance is re- quired (see Section 5 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum service, your Hyundai should bekept clean and free of corrosivematerials. 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 (andnot 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 soonas 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 "ride" the brake or clutch pedal.
This can increase fuel consumptionand also increase wear on these components. In addition, driving with your foot resting on the brake pedalmay cause the brakes to overheat, which reduces their effectiveness and may lead to more serious con-sequences.
o Take care of your tires. Keep them
inflated to the recommended pres-sure. Incorrect inflation, either too much or too little, results in unnec- essary tire wear. Check the tire pres-sures at least once a month.
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned
correctly. Improper alignment canresult from hitting curbs or driving too fast over irregular surfaces. Poor alignment causes faster tire wearand may also result in other prob- lems as well as greater fuel con- sumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For better fuel economy and reducedmaintenance costs, maintain yourcar in accordance with the mainte- nance schedule in Section 5. If you drive your car in severe conditions,

WARNING:
The engine cooling system is pres-surized and removal of the radiatorcap when the engine is hot may cause hot water and steam to be ejected from the radiator resulting inburns and scalding. The radiator cap must only be removed when the en- gine has cooled. Do not add coldwater to a hot engine to avoid the possibility of engine damage. The use of plain water in the coolingsystem is not recommended since the aluminium components of the cooling system require the use of acorrosion inhibitor found in the rec- ommended Ethylene Glycol type anti freeze solutions.

SB215B1-E ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERA- TURE GAUGE The engine coolant temperature gauge indicates the engine coolant tempera- ture and will, under normal circum-stances, give an indication in the "Nor- mal" or centre portion of the scale. Should the indication move into theupper or "Hot" portion of the scale, engine overheating is indicated. Under these circumstances, the vehicle shouldbe brought to rest as soon as is safe to do so and the engine turned off. Once the engine has cooled somewhat, thecoolant level and the condition of the generator/water pump drive belt should be checked. If the cause of the over-
The fuel gauge indicates the quantity offuel remaining in the fuel tank. NOTE: The fuel gauge is not intended to give other than an approximate indi- cation of the fuel level and is unsuit-able for the purposes of calculating fuel consumption figures.
