o Keep your car in good condition. For better fuel economy and reduced maintenance costs, maintain your car in accordance with the mainte- nance schedule in Section 6. If youdrive your car in severe conditions, more frequent maintenance is re- quired (see Section 6 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 enginea 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 engine bucking. If this happens, shift to a lower gear. Over-revving is racingthe 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 fueleconomy is reduced when you use it.
o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal.
This can increase fuel consumption and also increase wear on these components. In addition, driving with your foot resting on the brake pedalmay 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 too much 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 driving too fast over irregular surfaces. Poor alignment causes faster tire wearand may also result in other prob- lems as well as greater fuel con- sumption.

D170B01P-GAT (1) Speed Avoid rapid acceleration, sudden starts, and maximum speed driving; suchoperation will result in more fuel con- sumption. D170C01P-GAT (2) Shifting Shift only at an appropriate vehicle speed and engine rpm.Always use the highest gear possible. Fuel consumption depends largely on the manner in which vehicle is drivenbut it is also affected by other driving conditions. D170D01P-GAT (3) City traffic Frequent starting and stopping in- creases the average fuel consump- tion. Use roads with smooth traffic flowwhenever possible. When driving on congested roads, avoid use of a low gear at high engine rpm. D170G01P-GAT (6) Tire inflation pressure Check the tire inflation pressure at regular intervals. Low tire inflation pres- sures increase road resistance and fuel consumption. In addition, low tirepressures adversely affect tire wear and driving control.D170H01P-GAT (7) Load Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the luggage compartment.Especially during city driving where frequent starting and stopping is nec- essary, the increased weight of thevehicle will greatly affect fuel consump- tion. Also avoid driving with unnecessaryluggage, etc., on the roof; the increased air resistance will cause more fuel consumption.
D170I01P-GAT (8) Cold engine starting Starting of a cold engine consumes more fuel. Unnecessary fuel consump- tion is also caused by keeping a hot engine running. After the engine isstarted, begin driving soon.
D170E01P-GAT (4) Idling The vehicle consumes fuel even dur- ing idling. Avoid extended idling when-ever possible. D170F01P-GAT (5) High speed The higher the vehicles speed, the more fuel consumed. Avoid driving at full speed. Even a slight release of the accelerator pedal will save significant amount of fuel.

32LOCKING DIFFERENTIALADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT
D180M02P-GAT It is a good idea to carry a shovel or a short-handled spade in the vehicle during the winter so that you can clear away snow if you get stuck. A smallhand-brush for sweeping snow off the windscreen and rear window is also useful. D190A01HR-GAT (Minibus/van)(If Installed) A locking differential, if equipped, is for the rear wheel differential only. Thefeatures of this locking differential are described below: Just as with a conventional differential,the wheel on one side is allowed to turn at a different speed from the wheel on the other side when the vehicle iscornering. The difference between the locking differential and a conventional differential is that if the wheel on oneside of the vehicle loses traction, a greater amount of torque is applied to the rear wheel on the other side toimprove traction. NOTE: In a stationary position, the LD (Locking Differential) will operate when the difference of the revolu- tion speed between the rear rightwheel and the rear left wheel oc- curs.
CAUTION:(If installed)
White smoke may arise from thefuel fired heater outlet in the driver's front wheel housing during winterdriving. This is a normal condition. But, If a black (or gray) smoke is generated heavily, have the fuel firedheater checked by your Hyundai dealer. If the engine stops while the fuelfired heater is operating, whizzing noise may be heard from the lower of the battery in the engine com- partment. This is due to cleaning process forfuel fired heater and a normal op- eration. It will takes about 1- 3 minutes ac-cording to fuel quantity in the fuel fired heater fuel line.

!WARNING:
o Improperly loading your car and trailer can serious affect its steer- ing and braking performance causing a crash in which youmay be seriously injured.
o For automatic transmission ve-
hicles, the trailer should be towedwith the towing vehicle unloaded, with the exception of the driver. Otherwise, the automatic trans-mission oil temperature may rise to a temperature that may result in serious damage of the auto- matic transmission. C190F02A-GAT Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check hitch and
safety chain connections as well as proper operation of the trailer run- ning lights, brake lights, and turn signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a mod- erate speed (Less than 100 km/h).
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than normal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking effi-
ciency and electrical charging per-formance, do not use fifth gear (manual transmission) or overdrive (automatic transmission).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pres- sure of all tires on the trailer and your car. Low tire pressure can se- riously affect the handling. Alsocheck the spare tire.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is
more affected by crosswind andbuffeting. When being passed by a large vehicle, keep a constant speed and steer straight ahead. If there is too much wind buffeting,slow down to get out of the othervehicle’s air turbulence.
8. When parking your car and trailer,
especially on a hill, be sure to followall the normal precautions. Turn your front wheel into the curb, set the parking brake firmly, and put thetransmission in 1st or "R" (manual transmission) or "P" (automatic transmission). In addition, placewheel chocks at each of the trailer’s tires.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer mov-ing, and then apply the trailer brake controller by hand to be sure thebrakes are working. This lets you check your electrical connection at the same time.
10.During your trip, check occasion- ally to be sure that the load issecure, and that the lights and anytrailer brakes are still working.
11.Avoid jerky starts, sudden accel-
eration or sudden stops.
12.Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.

21BLEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM
CAUTION:
If overheating should occur when towing, (temperature gauge reads near red zone), taking the followingaction may reduce or eliminate the problem.
1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Reduce highway speed.
3. Select a lower gear when going uphill.
4. While in stop and go traffic, place
the gear selection in park or neu-tral and idle the engine at a higher speed.
! E090A01P-GAT (Diesel Motor) The fuel system should be bled to remove air as described in the illustra- tion if the fuel supply is exhaustedduring travel, when the fuel filter is replaced, or if the vehicle is not used for a long time.
1. Loosen the air plug at the top of the
fuel filter. E090A01P
13.Avoid holding the brake pedal down
too long or too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat, re- sulting in reduced braking efficiency.
14.When going down a hill, shift into a
lower gear and use the engine brak-ing effect. When ascending a long grade, downshift the transmissionto a lower gear and reduce speed to reduce chances of engine over- loading and/or overheating.
15.If you have to stop while going uphill, do not hold the vehicle inplace by pressing on the accelera-tor. This can cause the automatic transmission to overheat. Use the parking brake or footbrake.
NOTE: When towing, check transmission fluid more frequently.

2. Pump the hand pump until there are
no more bubbles in the fuel coming out of the air plug. When doing this,place a cloth around the air plug to prevent the escaping fuel from spew- ing about.
3. Tighten the air plug when there are no more bubbles in the fuel.
4. Continue pumping until the hand pump becomes stiff.
5. Finally, check to be sure that there
is no leakage of fuel.If in doubt, consult your nearest authorized HYUNDAI dealer. E090A02P
REMOVAL OF WATER FROM THE FUEL FILTER
E100A02P-GAT (Diesel Motor) If the fuel filter warning lamp illumi- nates during driving, it indicates that water has accumulated in the fuel fil-ter. If this occurs, remove the water as described below.
1. Loosen the drain plug at the bottom
of the fuel filter. Drain plug
!WARNING:
o Do not smoke or have any other open flame near the vehicle while bleeding the fuel system.
o Be sure to carefully clean away
any fuel which spilled ontonearby parts coming out of the air plug, because such accumu- lations of fuel might ignite andcause a fire.
