Drive smoothly. Avoid sudden acceleration - Try to drive at a constant speed. Do not accelerate before stopping. Try to maintain the speed of the traffic flow to avoid unnecessary changes in speed. If possible, avoid driving in heavy traffic.
Always keep a safe distance from the vehicle 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 and also increase wear of the parts of these units. Moreover, keeping your foot on the brake pedal constantly while driving will cause the brakes to overheat and lose their efficiency, which can lead to more serious consequences.
Take care of your car's tires. Maintain the recommended air pressure in your tires. Incorrect air pressure in your tires, either too little or too much, causes them to wear out prematurely. Check your tire pressure at least once a month.
Check wheel alignment. Incorrect wheel alignment can cause severe wear in the form of spots ("bald spots") on the tread. It can also lead to increased tire wear and increased fuel consumption.
Maintain your vehicle in good technical condition. For better fuel economy and reduced maintenance costs, service your vehicle according to the periodic maintenance schedule specified in the Service Book.
When using the vehicle under severe operating conditions, more frequent periodic maintenance is required (for details, see the Service Book).
Keep your vehicle clean. For maximum protection, your Hyundai vehicle must be kept free of corrosive materials. It is especially important that snow, moisture, ice, etc. do not stick to the underbody of the vehicle. This additional weight can lead to increased fuel consumption and also to corrosion.
Do not carry unnecessary items in your vehicle. Increased weight reduces fuel efficiency.
Do not let the engine idle longer than necessary. If you are waiting (and not in traffic), turn off the engine and start it only when you are ready to move.
Remember, your Hyundai does not need extended engine warm-up. As soon as the engine speed becomes stable, you can start driving. However, if the outside temperature is very low, let the engine warm up a little.
Don't "over-rev" or over-rev the engine. Over-rev means going too slowly in too high a gear. Shift into a lower gear. Over-rev means revving the engine above its maximum speed. This can be avoided by shifting into the recommended gears.
Use the air conditioner wisely. The air conditioning system is driven by the engine, so its use leads to a decrease in fuel efficiency.

Smooth cornering
Avoid braking or changing gears when cornering, especially on wet roads. It is best to take corners with a slight acceleration. If you follow this advice, you will minimize tire wear.
