The trip computer is a microcomputer-con-
trolled driver information gauge that displays
information related to driving, such as a
tripmeter, outside temperature, average fuel
consumption and distance to empty on the
LCD.

ODOMETER/TRIP ODOMETER
1. Odometer
The odometer records the total distance trav-
eled in miles. You will also find the odometer
useful to determine when periodic maintenance
should be performed.
NOTE:Federal law forbids alteration of the odometer
of any vehicle with the intent to change the
number of the odometer. The alteration may
void your warranty coverage.
B310A01A2. Trip odometer
o The trip odometer records the total distance
traveled since the last trip odometer reset.
o To reset the trip odometer to zero, press
and hold the reset switch to the right of the
speedometer for more than 1 second while
the trip odometer is being displayed.
o If your vehicle is equipped with a trip com-
puter, refer to the explanation of the trip
computer (See page 1-39, tripmeter)

MPG =Total Cruise Distance(Miles)
Total Fuel Consumption (G)
o This mode calculates the average fuel
consumption from the total fuel used and
the distance since the last average con-
sumption reset.
o The total fuel used is calculated from the
fuel consumption input.
o The meter's working range is from 0.0 to
99.9 miles/gallon(MPG).

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 11
WARNING:ABS will not prevent accidents due to
improper or dangerous driving maneu-
vers. Even though vehicle control is im-
proved during emergency braking, always
maintain a safe distance between you and
objects ahead. Vehicle speeds should al-
ways 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 conditions.
o Driving on rough, gravel or snow-cov-
ered roads.
o Driving with tire chains installed.
o Driving on roads where the road surface
is pitted or has different surface height.
These roads should be driven at reduced
speeds. The safety features of an ABS
equipped vehicle should not be tested by
high speed driving or cornering. This could
endanger the safety of yourself or others.

C140A01A-AATDRIVING FOR ECONOMY
You can save fuel and get more miles 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 cruising
speed. Don't race between stoplights. Try to
adjust your speed to that of the other traffic
so you don't have to change speeds unnec-
essarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever possi-
ble. Always maintain a safe distance from
other vehicles so you can avoid unneces-
sary braking. This also reduces brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you
drive, the more fuel your car uses. Driving at
a moderate speed, especially on the high-
way, is one of the most effective ways to
reduce fuel consumption.
o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. This
can increase fuel consumption and also in-
crease wear on these components. In addi-
tion, driving with your foot resting on the
brake pedal may cause the brakes to over-
heat, which reduces their effectiveness and
may lead 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 in
unnecessary tire wear. Check the tire pres-
sures at least once a month.o Be sure that the wheels are aligned correct-
ly. Improper alignment can result from hitting
curbs or driving too fast over irregular surfac-
es. Poor alignment causes faster tire wear
and may also result in other problems as well
as greater fuel consumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For better
fuel economy and reduced maintenance
costs, maintain your car in accordance with
the maintenance schedule in Section 5. If
you drive your car in severe conditions, more
frequent 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
of corrosive materials. It is especially impor-
tant that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed to
accumulate on the underside of the car. This
extra weight can result in increased fuel
consumption and also contribute to corro-
sion.
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 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 is
running smoothly, you can drive away. In
very cold weather, however, give your en-
gine a slightly longer warm-up period.
