Storage

B860A01A-AAT

When not in use, place your discs in their individual case and store them in a cool place away from the sun, heat, and dust. Do not grip or pull out the disc with your hand while the disc is being pulled into the unit by the Self Loading mechanism.

Keep Your Discs Clean

B850A01L

Handle your disc as shown. Do not drop the disc. Hold the disc so you will not leave fingerprints on the surface. If the surface is scratched, it may cause the pickup to skip signal tracks. Do not affix tape, paper, or gummed labels on the disc. Do not write on the disc.

Damaged Disc

Do not attempt to play damaged, warped or cracked discs. It could severely damage the playback mechanism.

B850A02L

Fingerprints, dust, or soil on the surface could cause the pickup to skip signal tracks. Wipe the surface clean with a clean soft cloth. If the surface is heavily soiled, dampen a clean soft cloth in a solution of mild neutral detergent to wipe it clean. See drawing.

B860A01L

Proper care of your cassette tapes will extend the tape life and increase your listening enjoy- ment. Always protect your tapes and cassette cases from direct sunlight, severely cold and dusty conditions. When not in use, cassettes should always be stored in the protective cas- sette case in which they were originally sup- plied. When the vehicle is very hot or cold, allow the interior temperature to become more com- fortable before listening to your cassettes.

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 92

o Never leave a cassette inserted in the player when not being played. This could damage the tape player unit and the cas- sette tape.

o We strongly recommend against the use of tapes longer than C-60 (60 minutes total). Tapes such as C-120 or C-180 are very thin and do not perform as well in the automotive environment.

HLC216

o Keep all magnetized objects, such as elec- tric motors, speakers or transformers away from your cassette tapes and tape player unit.

o Store cassettes in a cool, dry place with the open side facing down to prevent dust from settling in the cassette body.

o Avoid repeated fast reverse usage to re- play one given tune or tape section. This can cause poor tape winding to occur, and eventually cause excessive internal drag and poor audio quality in the cassette. If this occurs, it can sometimes be corrected by fast winding the tape from end to end several times. If this does not correct the problem, do not continue to use the tape in your vehicle.

o Be sure that the cassette label is not loose or peeling off or tape ejection may be difficult.

o Never touch or soil the actual audio tape

surfaces.

Head

Cotton applicator

B860A02L o The playback head, capstan and pinch rollers will develop a coating of tape residue that can result in deterioration of sound quality, such as a wavering sound. They should be cleaned monthly using a com- mercially available head cleaning tape or special solution available from audio spe- cialty shops. Follow the supplier's direc- tions carefully and never oil any part of the tape player unit.

o Always be sure that the tape is tightly wound on its reel before inserting in the player. Rotate a pencil in the drive sprock- ets to wind up any slack.

ANTENNA

NOTE: Look at a tape before you insert it. If the tape is loose, tighten it by turning one of the hubs with a pencil or your finger. If the label is peeling off, do not put it in the player. It may cause the tape to jam in the drive mechanism when you try to eject it. Do not leave tape sitting where they are exposed to high temperatures or, high hu- midity, such as on top of the dashboard or in the player. If a tape is excessively hot or cold, let it reach a moderate temperature before putting it in the player.

B870A01A Your car uses a fixed rod antenna to receive both AM and FM broadcast signals. This antenna is a removable type. To remove the antenna, turn it counterclockwise. To install the antenna, turn it clockwise.

CAUTION:

o Be sure to remove the antenna before washing the car in an automatic car wash or it may be damaged.

o When reinstalling your antenna, it is im- portant that it is fully tightened to ensure proper reception.

HLC2123

The antenna will automatically be extended when the radio power switch is turned on while the ignition key is in either the "ON" or "ACC" position. The antenna will automatically be re- tracted and stored when either the radio power switch is turned off or the ignition key is set to the "LOCK" position.

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 94

NOTE: o Before turning on the radio, make sure

that no one is near the antenna.

o Before entering an automatic car wash or a place with a low height clearance, be sure that the antenna is retracted and stored.

o If the antenna is dirty, be sure to clean it in order to avoid an operation malfunc- tion.

WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!

C010A03A-AAT Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open the windows immediately. o Do not inhale exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation. o Be sure the exhaust system does not leak. The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If you hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the car, have the exhaust system checked as soon as possible by your Hyundai dealer. o Do not run the engine in an enclosed area. Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the engine in your garage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out. o Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car. If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an open area with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior. If you must drive with the trunk lid/ tail gate open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary: 1. Close all windows. 2. Open side vents. 3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds. To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the windshield are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.

PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:

Engine exhaust and a wide variety of automobile components and parts, including components found in the interior furnishings in a vehicle, contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects and reproductive harm. In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

4. Turn the ignition key to the "Start" position

and release it 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 sec- onds between starting attempts to protect the starter from overheating.

C070A01A

Your Hyundai's manual transaxle has a con- ventional shift pattern. This shift pattern is also imprinted on the shift knob. The transaxle is fully synchronized in all forward gears so shifting to either a higher or a lower gear is easily accomplished.

NOTE: o To shift into reverse, rest the lever in neutral for at least 3 seconds after your car is completely stopped. Then move the lever into the reverse position.

o During cold weather, shifting may be difficult until the transaxle lubricant has warmed up. This is normal and not harmful to the transaxle.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

o If you've come to a complete stop and it's hard to shift into 1st or R(Reverse), put the shift lever in N(Neutral) position and release the clutch. Press the clutch pedal back down, and then shift into 1st or R(Reverse) gear position.

o Do not use the shift lever as a handrest during driving, as this can result in pre- mature wear of the transaxle shift forks.

CAUTION:

When downshifting from fifth gear to fourth gear, caution should be taken not to inadvertently press the gear shift lever sideways in such a manner that second gear is engaged. Such a drastic downshift may cause the engine speed to increase to the point that the tachometer will enter the red zone. Such over revving of the engine may possibly cause engine damage.

C070B01A-AAT Using the Clutch

C070D02O-AAT Good Driving Practices

The clutch should be pressed all the way to the floor before shifting, then released slowly. Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving. This can cause unnecessary wear. Do not partially engage the clutch to hold the car on an incline. This causes unnecessary wear. Use the parking brake to hold the car on an incline. Do not operate the clutch pedal rapidly and repeatedly.

The shift points as shown above are recom- mended for optimum fuel economy and perform- ance.

o Never take the car out of gear and coast down a hill. This is extremely hazardous. Always leave the car in gear.

o Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and malfunction. Instead, when you are driving down a long hill, slow down and shift to a lower gear. When you do this, engine braking will help slow the car.

o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. This will help avoid over-revving the engine, which can cause damage.

o Slow down when you encounter cross winds. This gives you much better control of your car.

o Be sure the car is completely stopped before you attempt to shift into reverse. The transaxle can be damaged if you do not. To shift into reverse, depress the clutch, move the shift lever to neutral, wait three seconds, then shift to the reverse position.

o Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be especially careful when braking, accelerating or shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an abrupt change in vehicle speed can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle to go out of control.

!

WARNING:

o Avoid high cornering speeds. o Do not make quick steering wheel move- ments, such as sharp lane changes or fast, sharp turns.

o Always wear your seat belts.

In a collision crash, un unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seatbelt.

o The risk of rollover is greatly increased if you lose control of your vehicle at highway speeds.

o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the roadway and the driver oversteers to reenter the road- way.

o In the event your vehicle leaves the roadway, do not steer sharply. Instead, slow down before pulling back into the travel lanes.

o Never exceed posted speed limits.

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE

C090A01A-AAT

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

NOTE:

Depress the brake pedal and push the button when shifting

Push the button when shifting The selector lever can be shifted freely.

For optimum fuel economy, accelerate gradu- ally. The transaxle will automatically shift to the second, third and overdrive gears.

C090A01A The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transaxle has four forward speeds and one reverse speed. It has a conventional shift pattern as shown in the illustration. At night, with the multi-function switch turned on to the parking light or head light position the appro- priate symbol on the shift pattern indicator will be illuminated according to the range selected.

C090B02A-AAT The function of each position is as fol- lows:

o P (Park):

Use to hold the vehicle in place when parking or while starting the engine. Whenever parking the car, apply the parking brake and shift the selector lever to the "P" (Park) position.

CAUTION:

Never shift into "R" or "P" position while the car is moving.

CAUTION:

Never place the selector lever in the "P" (Park) position unless the vehicle is fully stopped. Failure to observe this caution will cause severe damage to the transaxle.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

C090C01A-AAT o R(Reverse):

Use for backing up the vehicle. Bring the car to a complete stop before shifting the selector lever to "R" position.

C090D02A-AAT o N (Neutral):

In the "N" position, the transaxle is in neutral position, which means that no gears are en- gaged. The engine can be started with the shift lever in "N" position, although this is not recom- mended except if the engine stalls while the car is moving.

C090E01A-AAT o D (Drive):

Use for normal driving. The transaxle will auto- matically shift through a four-gear sequence. Never downshift manually to "2" position or "L" position when vehicle speed is more than 60
mph (96 km/h).

C090F01A-AAT o 2 (Second gear):

Use for driving on a slippery road, hill climbing or engine braking downhill. "2" automatically shifts between first and second gears. This means that no shift-up to 3rd gear is per- formed. However, the shift-up to third gear is done when the car speed exceeds a certain value to prevent the engine from over-revving. Manually move the selector to "D" returning to normal driving condition.

C090G01A-AAT o L (Low gear):

Use for driving up a very steep grade or for engine braking when descending steep hills. When downshifting to "L", the transaxle will temporarily remain in second gear until the ve- hicle has slowed enough for low gear to engage. Do not exceed 31 mph (50 km/h) in low gear.

C090H01A-AAT NOTE: o For smooth and safe operation, de- press the brake pedal when shifting from "Neutral" position or "Park" posi- tion to a forward or reverse gear.

o The ignition key must be in the "ON" position and the brake pedal fully de- pressed in order to move the shift lever from the "P" (Park) position to any of the other positions.

o It is always possible to shift from "R", "N", "D", "2", "L" position to "P" posi- tion.

C090I01A-AAT

CAUTION:

o Shift into "R" and "P" position only when the vehicle has completely stopped.

o Do not accelerate the engine in reverse or any of the forward positions with the brakes applied.

o Always apply the footbrake when shifting from "P" or "N", to "R", "D", "2" or "L" position.

o Do not use the "P" (Park) position in place of the parking brake. Always set the parking brake, shift the transaxle into "P" (Park) position and turn off the igni- tion when you leave the vehicle, even momentarily. Never leave the vehicle un- attended while the engine is running.

o Check the automatic transaxle fluid level

regularly, and add fluid as necessary.

C090P01A-AAT Overdrive Switch

C090P01A

C090J01A

When the overdrive switch is turned on, the transaxle will automatically upshift to the sec- ond, third and overdrive gears. When the over- drive switch is turned off, the transaxle will not upshift to the overdrive gear. For normal driving, the selector lever should be left in the "D" position and the overdrive switch turned on. If you need to accelerate rapidly, press the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor. The transaxle will automatically shift to a lower gear, depending on the vehicle speed and load.

If you cannot move the shift lever from the "P" (Park) position to any other position with the brake pedal fully depressed and the ignition key in the "ON" position, remove the cap on the console with a thin object such as a pencil, push the shift lock release button down. Then, with the brake pedal depressed, move the shift lever to the desired position, then the shift lock re- lease button will automatically return to its origi- nal position after shifting from the "P" (Park) position. Then, reinstall the cap. Have the system checked by your Hyundai dealer.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 10

C090N03A-AAT Good Driving Practices

o Never move the gear selector lever from "P" or "N" to any other position with the acceler- ator pedal depressed.

o Never move the gear selector lever into "P"

when the vehicle is in motion.

o Be sure the car is completely stopped before

you attempt to shift into "R".

o Never take the car out of gear and coast down a hill. This may be extremely hazard- ous. Always leave the car in gear when moving.

o Do not "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and malfunction. Instead, when you are driving down a long hill, slow down and shift to a lower gear. When you do this, engine braking will help slow the car.

o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may not be en- gaged.

o Always use the parking brake. Do not de- pend on placing the transaxle in "P" to keep the car from moving.

o Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be especially careful when braking, accelerating or shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an abrupt change in vehicle speed can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle to go out of control.

o Turn the overdrive switch on for good fuel economy and smooth driving. If engine brak- ing is needed in the "D" range or if repeated upshifting and downshifting between the 3rd and 4th gear is needed when climbing a gentle slope, it is recommended that the overdrive switch be turned off. Turn the over- drive switch back on immediately afterward.

WARNING:

o Avoid high cornering speeds. o Do not make quick steering wheel move- ments, such as sharp lane changes or fast, sharp turns.

o Always wear your seat belts.

In a collision crash, un unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seatbelt.

o The risk of rollover is greatly increased if you lose control of your vehicle at highway speeds.

o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the roadway and the driver oversteers to reenter the road- way.

o In the event your vehicle leaves the roadway, do not steer sharply. Instead, slow down before pulling back into the travel lanes.

o Never exceed posted speed limits.

GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES

C130A01A-AAT

WARNING:

Nothing should be carried on top of the shelf panel behind the rear seat. If there were an accident or a sudden stop, such objects could move forward and cause damage to the vehicle or injure the occu- pants.

o After being parked, check to be sure the parking brake is not engaged and that the parking brake indicator light is out before driving away.

o Driving through water may get the brakes wet. They can also get wet when the car is washed. Wet brakes can be dangerous! Your car will not stop as quickly if the brakes are wet. Wet brakes may cause the car to pull to one side. To dry the brakes, apply the brakes lightly until the braking action returns to nor- mal, taking care to keep the car under con- trol at all times. If the braking action does not return to normal, stop as soon as it is safe to do so and call your Hyundai dealer for assis- tance.

o Don't coast down hills with the car out of gear. This is extremely hazardous. Keep the car in gear at all times, use the brakes to slow down, then shift to a lower gear so

o Under some conditions your parking brake can freeze in the engaged position. This is most likely to happen when there is an accumulation of snow or ice around or near the rear brakes or if the brakes are wet. If there is a risk that the parking brake may freeze, apply it only temporarily while you put the gear selector lever in "P" (automat- ic) or in first or reverse gear (manual transaxle) and block the rear wheels so the car cannot roll. Then release the parking brake.

o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with the accelerator pedal. This can cause the transaxle to overheat. Always use the brake pedal or parking brake.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM

11

C120A03A-AAT (If Installed)

The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is de- signed to prevent wheel lock-up during sud- den braking or on hazardous road surfaces. The ABS control module monitors the wheel speed and controls the pressure applied to each brake. Thus, in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABS will increase vehicle con- trol during braking.

NOTE: A click sound may be heard in the engine compartment when the vehicle begins to move after the engine is started. These conditions are normal and indicate that the anti-lock brake system (Electronic Sta- bility Control) is functioning properly. During ABS operation, a slight pulsation may be felt in the brake pedal when the brakes are applied. Also, a noise may be heard in the engine compartment while braking. These conditions are normal and indicate that the anti-lock brake system is functioning properly.

that engine braking will help you maintain a safe speed.

o Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Resting your foot on the brake pedal while driving can be dangerous because it can result in the brakes overheating and losing their effectiveness. It also increases the wear of the brake compo- nents.

o If a tire goes flat while you are driving, apply the brakes gently and keep the car pointed straight ahead while you slow down. When you are moving slowly enough for it to be safe to do so, pull off the road and stop in a safe place.

o If your car is equipped with an automatic transaxle, don't let your car creep forward. To avoid creeping forward, keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal when the car is stopped.

o Use caution when parking on a hill. Engage the parking brake and place the gear selec- tor lever in "P" (automatic transaxle) or in first or reverse gear (manual transaxle). If your car is facing downhill, turn the front wheels into the curb to help keep the car from rolling. If your car is facing uphill, turn the front wheels away from the curb to help keep the car from rolling. If there is no curb or if it is required by other conditions to keep the car from rolling, block the wheels.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 12

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. During these conditions the veicle should be driven at reduced speeds.

o Rough, gravel or snow-covered roads. o With tire chains installed. o 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.

DRIVING FOR ECONOMY

C140A01A-AAT 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 cor- rectly. Improper alignment can result from hitting curbs or driving too fast over irreg- ular surfaces. Poor alignment causes faster tire wear and may also result in other problems as well as greater fuel consump- tion.

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.

o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lug- ging is driving too slowly in too high a gear resulting in the engine bucking. If this hap- pens, shift to a lower gear. Over-revving is racing the engine beyond its safe limit. This can be avoided by shifting at the recom- mended speeds.

o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air conditioning system is operated by engine power so your fuel economy is reduced when you use it.

SMOOTH CORNERING

WINTER DRIVING

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

13

C150A01A-AAT Avoid braking or gear changing in corners, especially when roads are wet. Ideally, cor- ners should always be taken under gentle acceleration. If you follow these suggestions, tire wear will be held to a minimum.

C160A01A-AAT The more severe weather conditions of winter result in greater wear and other problems. To minimize the problems of winter driving, you should follow these suggestions:

C160B01A-AAT Snowy or Icy Conditions

To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may be necessary to use snow tires or to install tire chains on your tires. If snow tires are needed, it is necessary to select tires equivalent in size and type to the original equipment tires. Failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and handling of your car. Furthermore, speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden brake applications, and sharp turns are potentially very hazardous practices. During deceleration, use engine braking to the fullest extent. Sudden brake applications on snowy or icy roads may cause skids to occur. You need to keep sufficient distance between the vehicle in operation in front and your vehicle. Also, apply the brake gently. It should be noted that installing tire chains on the tire will provide a greater driving force, but will not prevent side skids.

NOTE: Tire chains are not legal in all states. Check state laws before fitting tire chains.

C160C01A-AAT Use High Quality Ethylene Glycol Coolant

C160E01A-AAT Change to "Winter Weight" Oil if Necessary

Your Hyundai is delivered with high quality eth- ylene glycol coolant in the cooling system. It is the only type of coolant that should be used because it helps prevent corrosion in the cooling system, lubricates the water pump and prevents freezing. Be sure to replace or replenish your coolant in accordance with the maintenance schedule in Section 5. Before winter, have your coolant tested to assure that its freezing point is sufficient for the temperatures anticipated dur- ing the winter.

C160D01A-AAT Check Battery and Cables

Winter puts additional burdens on the battery system. Visually inspect the battery and cables as described in Section 6. The level of charge in your battery can be checked by your Hyundai dealer or a service station.

In some climates it is recommended that a lower viscosity "winter weight" oil be used during cold weather. See Section 9 for recommendations. If you aren't sure what weight oil you should use, consult your Hyundai dealer.

C160F01A-AAT Check Spark Plugs and Ignition System

Inspect your spark plugs as described in Sec- tion 6 and replace them if necessary. Also check all ignition wiring and components to be sure they are not cracked, worn or damaged in any way.

C160G01A-AAT To Keep Locks from Freezing

To keep the locks from freezing, squirt an ap- proved de-icer fluid or glycerine into the key opening. If a lock is covered with ice, squirt it with an approved de-icing fluid to remove the ice. If the lock is frozen internally, you may be able to thaw it out by using a heated key. Handle the heated key with care to avoid injury.

C160H01A-AAT Use Approved Anti-Freeze in Window Washer System

To keep the water in the window washer system from freezing, add an approved anti-freeze so- lution in accordance with instructions on the container. Window washer anti-freeze is avail- able from Hyundai dealers and most auto parts outlets. Do not use engine coolant or other types of anti-freeze as these may damage the finish.

C160I01A-AAT Don't Let Your Parking Brake Freeze

C160K01A-AAT Carry Emergency Equipment

C170A01A-AAT Pre-Trip Inspections

Under some conditions your parking brake can freeze in the engaged position. This is most likely to happen when there is an accumulation of snow or ice around or near the rear brakes or if the brakes are wet. If you think the parking brake may freeze, apply it only temporarily while you put the gear selector lever in "P" (automatic) or in first or reverse gear (manual transaxle) and block the rear wheels so the car cannot roll. Then release the parking brake.

C160J01A-AAT Don't Let Ice and Snow Accumulate Underneath

Under some conditions, snow and ice can build up under the fenders and interfere with the steering. When driving in severe winter condi- tions where this may happen, you should peri- odically check underneath the car to be sure the movement of the front wheels and the steering components is not obstructed.

Depending on the severity of the weather where you drive your car, you should carry appropriate emergency equipment. Some of the items you may want to carry include tire chains, tow straps or chains, flashlight, emergency flares, sand, a shovel, jumper cables, a window scraper, gloves, ground cloth, coveralls, a blanket, etc.

1. Tires: Adjust the tire inflation pressures for highway driving. Low tire inflation pressures will result in overheating and possible failure of the tires. Avoid using worn or damaged tires which may result in reduced traction or tire failure.

NOTE: Never exceed the maximum tire inflation pres- sure shown on the tires.

2. Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil: High speed travel consumes more fuel than urban motoring. Do not forget to check both engine coolant and engine oil.

3. Drive belt: A loose or damaged drive belt may result in overheating of the engine.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI USE OF LIGHTS 16

C180A01A-AAT Check your lights regularly for correct opera- tion and always keep them clean. When driv- ing during the day in conditions of poor visibil- ity, it is helpful to drive with headlights on low beam. This enables you to be seen as well as to see.

TRAILER TOWING

VEHICLE LOAD LIMIT

C190A01A-AAT

C190F02JM-AAT Tire and Loading Information Label

C190A02A

Your Hyundai should not be used to tow a trailer. It is designed to be compact and light for good fuel economy, and is not designed as a trailer-towing vehicle. Damages or malfunc- tions caused by towing may not be covered by the limited warranties applying to your Hyundai. Damages or malfunctions that result from tow- ing a trailer for commercial purposes are specifi- cally not covered by Hyundai limited warranties.

I030A01LC-1

I030A01LC-2

The tire label located on the driver's side of the center pillar outer panel gives the original tire size, cold tire pressures recommended for your ve- hicle, the number of people that can be in your vehicle and vehicle capacity weight.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

17

Vehicle capacity weight: 880 lbs (400 kg) Vehicle capacity weight is the maxi- mum combined weight of occupants and cargo. If your vehicle is equipped with a trailer, the combined weight includes the tongue load.

Seating capacity: Total: 5 persons

(Front seat: 2 persons, Rear seat: 3 persons)

Seating capacity is the maximum num- ber of occupants including a driver, your vehicle may carry. However the seating capacity may be reduced based upon the weight of all of the occupants, and the weight of the cargo being carried or towed. Do not overload the vehicle as there is a limit to the total weight, or load limit includ- ing occupants and cargo, the vehicle can carry.

Towing capacity: Towing capacity is the maximum trailer weight including its cargo weight, your vehicle can tow. See the section "Trailer or Vehicle Towing" for specifi- cations about the trailer weight.

Cargo capacity: The cargo capacity of your vehicle will increase or decrease depending on the weight and the number of occupants and the tongue load, if your vehicle is equipped with a trailer.

Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit (1)Locate the statement "The com- bined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX pounds'' on your vehicle's placard.

(2)Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.

(3)Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kilograms or XXX pounds.

(4)The resulting figure equals the avail- able amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the "XXX" amount equals 1400 lbs, and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of avail- able cargo and luggage load capac- ity is 650 lbs. (1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)

(5)Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calcu- lated in Step 4.

(6)If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be trans- ferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this re- duces the available cargo and lug- gage load capacity of your vehicle.

Refer to your vehicle’s tire and loading information label for specific informa- tion about your vehicle’s capacity weight and seating positions. The com- bined weight of the driver, passengers and cargo should never exceed your vehicle’s capacity weight.

C190G03JM-AAT Compliance Label

The label shows the maximum allow- able weight of the fully loaded vehicle. This is called the GVWR (Gross Ve- hicle Weight Rating). The GVWR in- cludes the weight of the vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo.

This label also tells you the maximum weights that can be supported by the front and rear axles, called Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). To find out the actual loads on your front and rear axles, you need to go to a weigh station and weigh your vehicle. Your dealer can help you with this. Be sure to spread out your load equally on both sides of the centerline.

The compliance label is located on the driver's side of the center piller outer panel.

C190G01JM

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

19

WARNING:

o Never exceed the GVWR for your vehicle, the GAWR for either the front or rear axle and vehicle ca- pacity weight. Exceeding these ratings can cause an accident or vehicle damage. You can calcu- late the weight of your load by weighing the items (or people) before putting them in the ve- hicle. Be careful not to overload your vehicle.

o Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the GVWR, either the maximum front or rear GAWR and vehicle capacity weight. If you do, parts, including tires on your vehicle can break, and it can change the way your vehicle handles and braking ability. This could cause you to lose control and crash. Also, overloading can shorten the life of your vehicle.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 20

WARNING:

o Overloading your vehicle can cause heat buildup in your vehicle's tires and possible tire failure that could lead to a crash. o Overloading your vehicle can cause increased stopping dis- tances that could lead to a crash. o A crash resulting from poor han- dling vehicle damage, tire failure, or increased stopping dis- tances could result in serious injury or death.

The label will help you decide how much cargo and installed equipment your vehicle can carry.

If you carry items inside your vehicle – like suitcases, tools, packages, or anything else – they more as fast as the vehicle goes. If you have to stop or turn quickly, or if there is a crash, the items will keep going and can cause an injury if they strikes the driver or a passenger.

! WARNING:

Items you carry inside your vehicle can strike and injure people in a sudden stop or turn, or in a crash.

o Put things in the cargo area of your vehicle. Try to spread the weight evenly.

o Never stack items, like suitcases, inside the vehicle above the tops of the seats.

o Do not leave an unsecured child

restraint in your vehicle.

o When you carry something in-

side the vehicle, secure it.

o Do not drive with a seat folded

down unless necessary.

D010C01A-D

1.

If your car has an automatic transaxle, be sure the gear selector lever is in "N" or "P" and the emergency brake is set.

2. Check the battery connections to be sure

they are clean and tight.

3. Turn on the interior light. If the light dims or goes out when you operate the starter, the battery is discharged.

4. Check the starter connections to be sure

they are securely tightened.

5. Do not push or pull the vehicle to start it. See

instructions for "Jump Starting".

1. Check fuel level. 2. With the key in the "OFF" position, check all connectors at ignition coil and spark plugs. Reconnect any that may be disconnected or loose.

3. Check the fuel line in the engine room. 4.

If the engine still refuses to start, call a Hyundai dealer or seek other qualified assis- tance.

JUMP STARTING

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

D010D01A-AAT If the Engine Stalls While Driving

D020A02A-AAT

1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping a straight line. Move cautiously off the road to a safe place.

2. Turn on your emergency flashers. 3. Try to start the engine again. If your vehicle will not start, contact a Hyundai dealer or seek other qualified assistance.

Discharged battery

Booster battery

HLC4001

WARNING:

The gas produced by the battery during the jump-start operation is highly explosive. If these instructions are not followed exactly, serious personal injury and damage to the vehicle may occur! If you are not sure how to follow this procedure, seek qualified assis- tance. Automobile batteries contain sulfuric acid. This is poisonous and highly corrosive. When jump starting, wear protective glasses and be careful not to get acid on yourself, your clothing or on the car.

o If you should accidentally get acid on your skin or in your eyes, immediately remove any contaminated clothing and flush the area with clear water for at least 15 minutes. Then promptly obtain medical attention. If you must be transported to an emergency facility, con- tinue to apply water to the affected area with a sponge or cloth.

o The gas produced by the battery during the jump-start operation is highly explosive. Do not smoke or allow a spark or open flame in the vicinity.

o The battery being used to provide the jump start must be 12-volt. If you cannot deter- mine that it is a 12-volt battery, do not at- tempt to use it for the jump start.

o To jump start a car with a discharged battery,

follow this procedure exactly:

1.

If the booster battery is installed in another vehicle, be sure the two vehicles are not touching.

2. Turn off all unnecessary lights and acces-

sories in both vehicles.

3. Attach the clamps of the jumper cable in the exact location shown on the previous page. First, attach one clamp of the jumper cable to the positive (+) post or cable of the dis- charged battery. Then attach the other end of the same cable to the positive (+) post or cable of the booster battery. Next, using the other cable, attach one clamp to the nega- tive (-) post or cable of the booster battery.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

Then attach the other end of that cable to a solid metal part of the engine away from the battery. Do not connect the cable to any moving part.

4. Start the engine in the car with the booster battery and let it run for a few minutes. This will help to assure that the booster battery is fully charged. During the jumping operation, run the engine in this vehicle at about 2000
rpm.

5. Start the engine in the car with the dis- charged battery using the normal starting procedure. After the engine starts, leave the jumper cables connected and let the engine run at fast idle or about 2000 rpm for several minutes.

6. Carefully remove the jumper cables in the

reverse order of attachment.

If you do not know why your battery became discharged (because the lights were left on, etc.), have the charging system checked by your Hyundai dealer.

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS

D030A02A-AAT If your temperature gauge indicates overheat- ing, you experience a loss of power, or hear loud pinging or knocking, the engine is probably too hot. If this happens, you should:

1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safe

to do so.

3.

2. Place the gear selector lever in "P" (auto- matic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioner is on, turn it off. If coolant is running out under the car or steam is coming out from the hood, stop the engine. Do not open the hood until the cool- ant has stopped running or the steaming has stopped. If there is no visible loss of coolant and no steam, leave the engine running and check to be sure the engine cooling fan is operating. If the fan is not running, turn the engine off.

4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is missing. If it is not missing, check to see that it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be satisfactory, check for coolant leaking from the radiator, hoses or under the car. (If the air conditioner had been in use, it is normal for cold water to be draining from it when you stop).

WARNING:

While the engine is running, keep hands, long hair and clothing away from moving parts such as the fan and drive belts to prevent injury.

5.

If the water pump drive belt is broken or coolant is leaking out, stop the engine im- mediately and call the nearest Hyundai deal- er for assistance.

WARNING:

Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. This may allow coolant to be blown out of the opening and cause serious burns.

6.

If you cannot find the cause of the overheat- ing, wait until the engine temperature has returned to normal. Then, if coolant has been lost, carefully add water to the reservoir (Page 6-7) to bring the fluid level in the reservoir up to the halfway mark.

7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for fur- ther signs of overheating. If overheating hap- pens again, call a Hyundai dealer for assis- tance.

!

CAUTION:

Serious loss of coolant indicates there is a leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundai dealer.

SPARE TIRE

D040A01A-AAT The following instructions for the tem- porary spare tire should be observed:

1. Check inflation pressure as soon as is practical after installing the spare tire, and adjust to the speci- fied pressure. The tire pressure should be periodically checked and maintained at the specified pres- sure while the tire is stored.

Spare Tire Pressure

Tire Size

T105/70D(R)14

Inflation Pressure

60 psi (420 kPa)

2. The spare tire should only be used temporarily and should be returned to the luggage compartment as soon as the original tire can be repaired or replaced.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

3. Continuous use at speeds of over 50 mph (80 km/h) is not recom- mended.

4. As the temporary spare tire is spe- cifically designed for your car, it should not be used on any other vehicle.

5. The temporary spare tire should not be used on any other wheels, nor should standard tires, snow tires, wheel covers or trim rings be used with the temporary spare wheel. If such use is attempted, damage to these items or other car components may occur.

6. The temporary spare tire pressure should be checked once a month while the tire is stored.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

CAUTION:

o Do not use snow chains with

your temporary spare tire.

o Do not use more than one tem-

porary spare tire at a time.

o Do not tow a trailer while the temporary spare tire is installed.

Remove the installation bolt to re- move the spare tire. To replace the spare tire in its storage compartment, tighten the bolt firmly with your fin- gers until there is no more play in the spare tire.

IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE

D050A01A-AAT If a tire goes flat while you are driving:

1. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal and let the car slow down while driving straight ahead. Do not apply the brakes immediately or attempt to pull off the road as this may cause a loss of control. When the car has slowed to such a speed that it is safe to do so, brake care- fully and pull off the road. Drive off the road as far as possible and park on firm, level ground. If you are on a divided highway, do not park in the median area between the two traffic lanes.

2. When the car is stopped, turn on your emergency hazard flashers, set the parking brake and put the transaxle in "P" (automatic) or re- verse (manual transaxle).

Raise the car high enough so that the fully inflated spare tire can be in- stalled. To do this, you will need more ground clearance than is required to remove the flat tire.

WARNING:

Do not get under the car when it is supported by the jack! This is very dangerous as the vehicle could fall and cause serious injury or death. No one should stay in the car while the jack is being used.

D060G02Y-AAT

6. Changing Wheels

D060G01A

Loosen the wheel nuts and remove them with your fingers. Slide the wheel off the studs and lay it flat so it cannot roll away. To put the wheel on the hub, pick up the spare tire, line up the holes with the studs and slide the wheel onto them. If this is difficult, tip the wheel slightly and get the top hole in the wheel lined up with the top stud. Then jiggle the wheel back and forth until the wheel can be slid over the other studs.

D060G02A

! WARNING:

Wheels and wheel covers may have sharp edges. Handle them care- fully to avoid possible severe in- jury. Before putting the wheel into place, be sure that there is nothing on the hub or wheel (such as mud, tar, gravel, etc.) that interferes with the wheel fitting solidly against the hub. If there is, remove it.

D060J01E-AAT

After Changing Wheels

If the pressure is lower than recom- mended, drive slowly to the nearest service station and inflate to the cor- rect pressure. If it is too high, adjust it until it is correct. Always reinstall the valve cap after checking or ad- justing tire pressure. If the cap is not replaced, air may leak from the tire. If you lose a valve cap, buy another and install it as soon as possible. After you have changed wheels, al- ways secure the flat tire in its place in the trunk and return the jack and tools to their proper storage locations.
