2- 14 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
o Drive at a moderate speed. The
faster you drive, the more fuel your car uses. Driving at a moderatespeed, especially on the highway, is one of the most effective ways to reduce fuel consumption.
o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. This can increase fuel consumptionand also increase wear on thesecomponents. In addition, driving with your foot resting on the brake pedal may 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 toomuch 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 drivingtoo fast over irregular surfaces. Poor alignment causes faster tire wear and may also result in other prob-lems as well as greater fuel con- sumption.
WARNING:
ABS will not prevent accidents due to improper or dangerous driving maneuvers. Even though vehicle control is improved during emer-gency braking, always maintain a safe distance between you and ob- jects ahead. Vehicle speeds shouldalways be reduced during extreme road conditions. The braking distance for cars equipped with an anti-lock braking system may be longer than for those without it in the following road con-ditions.
o Driving on rough, gravel or snow- covered roads.
o Driving with tire chains installed.
o Driving on roads where the road
surface is pitted or has different surface height.
!During these conditions, the ve- hicle should be driven at reduced speeds. The safety features of anABS equipped vehicle should not be tested by high speed driving or cornering. This could endanger thesafety of yourself or others.
C140A01A-GAT DRIVING FOR ECONOMY You can save fuel and get more kilo- meters from your car if you follow these suggestions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at amoderate rate. Don't make "jack- rabbit" starts or full-throttle shifts and maintain a steady cruisingspeed. Don't race between stop- lights. Try to adjust your speed to that of the other traffic so you don'thave to change speeds unneces- sarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible.Always maintain a safe distance from other vehicles so you can avoid unnecessary braking. This also re-duces brake wear.
