DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 11
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 isrunning smoothly, you can drive away. Invery cold weather, however, give your enginea slightly longer warm-up period.
o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging is driving too slowly in too high a gear result-ing in the engine bucking. If this happens, shiftto a lower gear. Over-revving is racing theengine beyond its safe limit. This can beavoided by shifting at the recommendedspeeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air conditioning system is operated by enginepower so your fuel economy is reduced whenyou use it.
crease wear on these components. In addi-tion, driving with your foot resting on the brakepedal may cause the brakes to overheat,which reduces their effectiveness and maylead to more serious consequences.
o Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated to the recommended pressure. Incorrect infla-tion, either too much or too little, results inunnecessary tire wear. Check the tire pres-sures at least once a month.
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper alignment can result from hittingcurbs or driving too fast over irregular surfac-es. Poor alignment causes faster tire wearand may also result in other problems as wellas greater fuel consumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For better fuel economy and reduced maintenancecosts, maintain your car in accordance withthe maintenance schedule in Section 5. If youdrive your car in severe conditions, morefrequent maintenance is required (see Sec-tion 5 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum service, your Hyundai should be kept clean and free ofcorrosive materials. It is especially importantthat mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed toaccumulate on the underside of the car. Thisextra weight can result in increased fuel con-sumption and also contribute to corrosion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary weight in your car. Weight reduces fuel economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than neces- sary. If you are waiting (and not in traffic), turn C150A01A-AAT
SMOOTH CORNERING
Avoid braking or gear changing in corners, espe-cially when roads are wet. Ideally, corners shouldalways be taken under gentle acceleration. If youfollow these suggestions, tire wear will be held toa minimum. C160A01A-AAT WINTER DRIVING The more severe weather conditions of winter result in greater wear and other problems. Tominimize the problems of winter driving, youshould follow these suggestions:
If the indicator remains lit even after the enginehas been started, have your car checked by anauthorized Hyundai dealer. NOTE:
1) When the TCS-OFF indicator illuminates,
traction control is automatically deacti-vated for safety.
2) This warning function is not provided when the driver selects the TCS-OFF mode.
C140A01A-GAT DRIVING FOR ECONOMY You can save fuel and get more kilometers 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 shifts and maintain a steady cruisingspeed. Don't race between stoplights. Try toadjust your speed to that of the other traffic soyou don't have to change speeds unneces-sarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible.Always maintain a safe distance from othervehicles so you can avoid unnecessary brak-ing. This also reduces brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your car uses. Driving ata moderate speed, especially on the high-way, is one of the most effective ways toreduce fuel consumption.
o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. This can increase fuel consumption and also in-

C190F01A-GAT Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check hitch and safety chainconnections as well as proper operation of the trailer running lights, brake lights, and turnsignals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a moderate speed (Less than 100 km/H).
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than normal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking efficiency and electrical charging performance, do not usefifth gear (manual transaxle) or overdrive(automatic transaxle).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pressure of all tires on the trailer and your car. Low tirepressure can seriously affect the handling.Also check the spare tire.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more af- fected by crosswind and buffeting.When being passed by a large vehicle, keepa constant speed and steer straight ahead. Ifthere is too much wind buffeting, slow down toget out of the other vehicle's air turbulence.
8. When parking your car and trailer, especially on a hill, be sure to follow all the normalprecautions. Turn your front wheel into thecurb, set the parking brake firmly, and put thetransmission in 1st or Reverse (manual) orPark (automatic). In addition, place wheelchocks at each of the trailer's tires.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
3-2
tance. Automobile batteries contain sulfuric acid. This is poisonous and highly corrosive.When jump starting, wear protective glassesand be careful not to get acid on yourself,your clothing or on the car.
o If you should accidentally get acid on your
skin or in your eyes, immediately remove any contaminated clothing and flush the area withclear water for at least 15 minutes. Thenpromptly obtain medical attention. If you mustbe transported to an emergency facility, con-tinue to apply water to the affected area witha sponge or cloth.
o The gas produced by the battery during the jump-start operation is highly explosive. Donot smoke or allow a spark or open flame inthe vicinity.
o The battery being used to provide the jump start must be 12-volt. If you cannot determinethat it is a 12-volt battery, do not attempt touse it for the jump start.
o To jump start a car with a discharged battery, follow this procedure exactly:
1. If the booster battery is installed in another vehicle, be sure the two vehicles are nottouching.
2. Turn off all unnecessary lights and acces- sories in both vehicles. 3. Attach the clamps of the jumper cable in the
exact location shown on the previous page.First, attach one clamp of the jumper cable tothe positive (+) post or cable of the dis-charged battery. Then attach the other end ofthe same cable to the positive (+) post orcable of the booster battery. Next, using theother cable, attach one clamp to the negative(-) post or cable of the booster battery. Thenattach the other end of that cable to a solidmetal part of the engine away from thebattery. Do not connect the cable to anymoving part.
4. Start the engine in the car with the booster battery and let it run for a few minutes. Thiswill help to assure that the booster battery isfully charged. During the jumping operation,run the engine in this vehicle at about 2000rpm.
5. Start the engine in the car with the discharged battery using the normal starting procedure.After the engine starts, leave the jumpercables connected and let the engine run atfast idle or about 2000 rpm for several min-utes.
6. Carefully remove the jumper cables in the reverse order of attachment.
If you do not know why your battery becamedischarged (because the lights were left on,etc.), have the charging system checked by yourHyundai dealer. D030A02A-AAT IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATSIf your temperature gauge indicates overheating, you experience a loss of power, or hear loudpinging or knocking, the engine is probably toohot. If this happens to you, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P" (auto- matic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on,turn it off.
3. If engine coolant is running out under the car or steam is coming out from the hood, stopthe engine. Do not open the hood until theengine coolant has stopped running or thesteaming has stopped. If there is no visibleloss of engine coolant and no steam, leavethe engine running and check to be sure theengine cooling fan is operating. If the fan isnot running, turn the engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is missing. If it is not missing, check to see thatit is tight. If the drive belt seems to be satis-factory, check for engine coolant leaking fromthe radiator, hoses or under the car. (If the airconditioning had been in use, it is normal forcold water to be draining from it when youstop).
WARNING:While the engine is running, keep hair, hands,and clothing away from moving parts such asthe fan and drive belts to prevent injury.
