STARTING
(For Multiport Fuel Injection)
Normal starting with either a cold or warm
engine is obtained without pumping or depress-
ing the accelerator pedal. Simply turn the key to
the "START" position and release when the
engine starts.
After the engine has started, allow the engine to
run for 10 to 20 seconds prior to placing the
vehicle in gear.
The starter should not be operated for more
than 15 seconds at a time. Wait 15-30 seconds
between starting attempts to protect the starter
from overheating.
WARNING:
Never run the engine in a closed or poorly
ventilated area any longer than is needed to
move your car in or out of the area. The
carbon monoxide gas emitted is odorless
and can cause serious injury or death.

FUEL ECONOMY
The following suggestions are made to assist in
achieving the greatest degree of fuel economy.
o Maintaining a constant check on fuel con-
sumption will enable the most economical
use pattern and driving style to be adopted.
o Avoid using the vehicle for very short jour-
neys if possible, particularly when a cold
start isinvolved.
o Ensure that tyre pressures are maintained
at the correct level.
o Use only the recommended grade of fuel.
o Avoid carrying unnecessary weight, and if a
roof rack is in use, remove it as soon as
possible after use.
o Anticipate the road and conditions ahead to
enable adjustments in speed to be made
smoothly. Avoid heavy acceleration and
sharp braking.
o Avoid cruising at unnecessary high speeds.
o Always ensure that the periodic maintenance
services are performed by a Hyundai dealer
at the time and/or mileage intervals speci-
fied.
o Use the air conditioner only when neces-
sary.
