Keep your vehicle in good condi-tion. For better fuel economy and
reduced maintenance costs, main-
tain your vehicle in accordancewith the maintenance schedule in
Section 7. If you drive your vehicle
in severe conditions, more frequentmaintenance is required (see
Section 7 for details).
Keep your vehicle clean. For maxi- mum service, your vehicle should
be kept clean and free of corrosive
materials. It is especially important
that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be
allowed to accumulate on the
underside of the vehicle. This extra
weight can result in increased fuel
consumption and also contribute tocorrosion.
Travel lightly. Don't carry unneces- sary weight in your vehicle. Weight
reduces fuel economy.
Don't let the engine idle longer than necessary. If you are waiting
(and not in traffic), turn off your
engine and restart only when
you're ready to go. Remember, your vehicle does not
require extended warm-up. After
the engine has started, allow the
engine to run for 10 to 20 seconds
prior to placing the vehicle in gear.
In very cold weather, however, give
your engine a slightly longer warm-
up period.
Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging is driving too slowly in too
high a gear resulting engine buck-
ing. 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.
Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air conditioning system is
operated by engine power so your
fuel economy is reduced when youuse it.
Open windows at high speeds can reduce fuel economy.
Fuel economy is less in crosswinds and headwinds. To help offset
some of this loss, slow down when
driving in these conditions. Keeping a vehicle in good operating
condition is important both for econ-
omy and safety. Therefore, we rec-
ommend that you contact an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer to performscheduled inspections and mainte-
nance.
Engine off during motion
Never turn the engine off to
coast down hills or anytime the
vehicle is in motion. The power
steering and power brakes will
not function properly without
the engine running. Instead,
keep the engine on and down-
shift to an appropriate gear for
engine braking effect. In addi-
tion, turning off the ignition
while driving could engage the
steering wheel lock resulting in
loss of vehicle steering which
could cause serious injury ordeath.

If you do decide to pull a trail- er
Here are some important points if
you decide to pull a trailer:
Consider using a sway control. Youcan ask a hitch dealer about sway control.
Do not do any towing with your vehicle during its first 2,000 km
(1,200 miles) in order to allow the
engine to properly break in. Failure
to heed this caution may result in
serious engine or transmission
damage.
When towing a trailer, we recom- mend that you consult an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer on addition-
al requirements such as a towingkit, etc.
Always drive your vehicle at a mod- erate speed (Max speed for stan-
dard trailer is 80 km/h (50 mph)). ❇ Special trailer 100 km/h (60
mph) is allowed but trailer need
special approval from TÜV. On a long uphill grade, do not
exceed 70 km/h (45 mph) or the
posted towing speed limit,
whichever is lower.
Fuel consumption will increase due to the additional required power to
tow trailer and additional trans-
portation weight at the trailer.
To prevent vehicle damage :
Due to higher load during
trailer usage, overheating
might occur in hot days or
during uphill driving. If the
coolant gauge indicates over-
heating, switch off the A/C
and stop the vehicle in a safe
area to cool down the engine.
When towing check transmis-
sion fluid more frequently.
If your vehicle is not equipped
with the air conditioner, youshould install a condenser fan
to improve engine perform-
ance when towing a trailer.

Maintenance
Diesel Particulate Filter (if equipped)
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
system removes the soot emitted
from the vehicle.
Unlike a disposable air filter, the DPF
system automatically burns (oxi-
dizes) and removes the accumulated
soot according to the driving condi-
tion. In other words, the active burn-
ing by engine control system and
high exhaust gas temperature
caused by normal/high driving condi-
tion burns and removes the accumu-lated soot.
However, if the vehicle continues to
be driven in short distance repeated-
ly or at low speed for a long time, the
accumulated soot may not be auto-
matically removed because of low
exhaust gas temperature. In this par-
ticular case, if the amount of soot is
out of detection limit, the DPF warn-
ing indicator ( ) will illuminate. In order to start the DPF regenera-
tion and to stop the DPF warning
lamp illuminating, drive the vehicle in
a safety driving circumstance with
more than 60km/h (37 mph) vehiclespeed or with more than secondgear engaged and 1500 ~ 2000
engine rpm for a certain time (for
about 25 minutes).
If the DPF warning indicator( )
continues to blink or "check emissionsystem" message comes on in the
cluster in spite of the above proce-
dure, we recommend that the system
be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
If you continue to drive with the indi-
cator light blinking for a long time, theDPF system can be damaged and
fuel consumption can be worsen.Diesel Fuel (if equipped with DPF) It is recommended to use the regulated automotive diesel
fuel for diesel vehicle equippedwith the DPF system.
If you use diesel fuel including high sulfur (more than 50 ppm
sulfur) and unspecified addi-
tives, it can cause the DPF sys-
tem to be damaged and whitesmoke can be emitted.

Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fuel econo -
my by reducing the amount of fuel necessary to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure in
everyday driving, but in a year’s time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.
