DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 15
C150A01A-AAT SMOOTH CORNERING Avoid braking or gear changing in cor- ners, especially when roads are wet. Ideally, corners should always be takenunder gentle acceleration. If you follow these suggestions, tire wear will be held to a minimum.
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.
o Keep your car in good condition. For better fuel economy and reducedmaintenance costs, maintain your car in accordance with the mainte-nance schedule in Section 5. If you drive your car in severe conditions, 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 "lug" or "over-rev" the engine.
Lugging is driving too slowly in toohigh a gear resulting in the enginebucking. 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 useit.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY 3- 7
Remove the spare tire and take out the jack and tool bag from the trunk. NOTE: The jack is located beneath the lug- gage mat in the vehicle trunk.

HXGS413
The wheel nuts should be loosened slightly before raising the car. To loosen the nuts, turn the wrench handle coun- terclockwise. When doing this, be surethat the socket is seated completely over the nut so it cannot slip off. For maximum leverage, position thewrench so the handle is to the right as shown in the drawing. Then, while holding the wrench near the end of thehandle, pull up on it with steady pres- sure. Do not remove the nuts at this time. Just loosen them about one-halfturn.

3- 10 WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
Lower the car to the ground by turning the wheel nut wrench counterclock- wise. Then position the wrench asshown in the drawing and tighten the wheel nuts. Be sure the socket is seated completely over the nut. Do not
stand on the wrench handle or use an extension pipe over the wrench handle. Go around the wheel tightening everyother nut until they are all tight. Then double-check each nut for tightness. After changing wheels, have a techni-cian tighten the wheel nuts to their proper torque as soon as possible.

D060J01E-AAT After Changing Wheels If you have a tire gauge, remove the valve cap and check the air pressure. If the pressure is lower than recom-mended, drive slowly to the nearest service station and inflate to the cor- rect pressure. If it is too high, adjust ituntil it is correct. Always reinstall the valve cap after checking or adjusting tire pressure. If the cap is not replaced,air may leak from the tire. If you lose a valve cap, buy another and install it as soon as possible.
D060J01LAfter you have changed wheels, al- ways secure the flat tire in its place in the trunk and return the jack and toolsto their proper storage locations.
