Economical driving (Hyundai Accent LC)

By following these guidelines, you can save fuel and increase your vehicle's mileage without refueling:

• drive smoothly and avoid sudden acceleration. Try to drive at a constant speed and do not accelerate before stopping;
• try to keep up with the speed of the traffic flow to avoid unnecessary speed changes. Avoid driving in heavy traffic conditions if possible. Always keep a safe distance from the car in front to avoid unnecessary braking. This also reduces wear on the brake pads;
• drive at a moderate speed. The faster a car is driven, the more fuel it uses. Driving at a moderate speed, especially on highways, is one of the most effective ways to reduce fuel consumption;
• do not keep your foot on the brake or clutch pedal. This will increase fuel consumption, as well as increase wear on the parts of these units. Moreover, keeping your foot on the brake pedal constantly while driving will lead to overheating of the brakes and loss of their efficiency, which can lead to more serious consequences;
• monitor your car's tires, maintain the recommended air pressure in the tires. Incorrect air pressure in the tires, too little or too much, leads to premature wear. Check the air pressure in the tires at least once a month;
• check the wheel alignment angles, as incorrect wheel alignment angles can cause severe wear in the form of spots ("bald spots") on the tread. This can also lead to increased tire wear and increased fuel consumption;
• do not carry unnecessary items in your car;
• do not let the engine idle longer than necessary. If you are waiting for something (and are not in traffic), turn off the engine and start it only when you are ready to move;
• remember, the Hyundai car does not need an extended engine warm-up. As soon as the engine speed becomes stable, you can start driving, however, at very low air temperatures, let the engine warm up a little;
• don't "over-rev" or allow the engine to rev too high. Over-rev means driving too slowly in too high a gear. Shift to a lower gear.
• use the air conditioner wisely, as the air conditioning system is powered by the engine's energy, so its use leads to a decrease in fuel economy.
