1. Odometer The odometer records the total driving distance in miles, and is useful for keep- ing a record for maintenance intervals. It is normal for a new vehicle to have the odometer indicating less than 30 miles.

NOTE: Federal law forbids alteration of the odom- eter of any vehicle with the intent to change the number of the odometer. The alteration may void your warranty cov- erage.

B400B01MC-A

The trip computer is a microcomputer- controlled driver information gauge that displays information related to driving such as outside temperature, tripmeter, average fuel consumption and distance to empty on the LCD.

COMBINATION TURN SIGNAL, HEADLIGHT AND LOW-BEAM SWITCH Turn Signal Operation Pulling down on the lever causes the turn signals on the left side of the car to blink. Pushing upward on the lever causes the turn signals on the right side of the car to blink. As the turn is completed, the lever will automatically return to the center position and turn off the turn signals at the same time. If either turn signal indicator light blinks more rapidly than usual, goes on but does not blink, or does not go on at all, there is a malfunction in the system. Check for a burned-out fuse or bulb or see your Hyundai dealer.

! WARNING:

o Gasoline vapors are dangerous. Before refueling, always stop the engine and never smoke or allow sparks and open flames near the filler area.

o Never operate your vehicle without a filler cap properly installed, flam- mable vapors and gasoline could leak out in dangerous situations such as a collision or rollover. If the filler cap must be replaced, only use genu- ine Hyundai replacement parts.

o After refueling, make sure the fuel cap is installed securely to prevent fuel spillage in the event of an acci- dent.

o Tighten the cap until it clicks, other-

wise the "

"light will illuminate.

o If you open the fuel filler cap during high ambient temperatures, a slight "pressure sound" may be heard. This is normal and not a cause for concern. Whenever you open the fuel filler cap, turn it slowly.

o Do not "top off" after the nozzle au- tomatically shuts off when refueling.

! WARNING:

o Automotive fuels are flammable/ex- plosive materials. When refueling, please note the following guidelines carefully. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in severe per- sonal injury, severe burns or death by fire or explosion. - Before refueling always note the location of the Emergency Gaso- line Shut-Off, if available, at the gas station facility.

- Before touching the fuel nozzle or fuel filler cap, you should eliminate potentially dangerous static elec- tricity discharge by touching an- other metal part of the front of the vehicle, a safe distance away from the fuel filler neck, nozzle, or other gas source.

- Do not get back into a vehicle once you have begun refueling. Do not touch, rub or slide against any item or fabric (polyester, satin, nylon, etc.) capable of producing static electricity. Static electricity dis- charge can ignite fuel vapors re- sulting in explosion.

! WARNING:

If you must re-enter the vehicle, you should once again eliminate potentially dangerous static elec- tricity discharge by touching a metal part of the vehicle, away from the fuel filler neck, nozzle or other gasoline source.

- When using a portable fuel con- tainer be sure to place the con- tainer on the ground prior to refu- eling. Static electricity discharge from the container can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire. Once refu- eling has begun, contact with the vehicle should be maintained until the filling is complete. Use only portable fuel containers designed to carry and store gasoline.

- Do not use cellular phones around a gas station or while refueling any vehicle. Electric current and/or electronic interference from cellu- lar phones can potentially ignite fuel vapors causing a fire. If you must use your cellular phone use it in a place away from the gas station.

If the tail gate is open when the front portion of the central door locking switch is pushed, the tail gate will be locked when it is fully closed.

! WARNING:

- When refueling always shut the engine off. Sparks produced by electrical components related to the engine can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire. Always insure that the engine is OFF before and dur- ing refueling. Once refueling is complete, check to make sure the fuel filler cap and door are se- curely closed, before starting the engine.

- Do not light any fire around a gas station. DO NOT use matches or a lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or leave a lit cigarette in your vehicle while at a gas station especially during refueling. Automotive fuel is highly flammable and can, when ignited, result in explosion by flames. If a fire breaks out during refueling, leave the vicinity of the vehicle, and immediately contact the man- ager of the gas station or contact the police and local fire depart- ment. Follow any safety instruc- tions they provide.

o When you are using the air condition- ing system, keep all windows closed to keep hot air out.

o When moving slowly, as in heavy traf-

fic, shift to a lower gear. This increases engine speed, which in turn increases the speed of the air conditioning compressor.

o On steep grades, turn the air condi- tioning off to avoid the possibility of the engine overheating.

o During winter months or in periods when the air conditioning is not used regularly, run the air conditioning once every month for a few minutes. This will help circulate the lubricants and keep your system in peak operat- ing condition.

CAUTION:

o Replace the filter every 10,000 miles (15,000 km) or once a year.

How Car Audio Works FM reception

Ionosphere

This can be due to factors such as the distance from the radio station, closeness of other strong radio stations or the pres- ence of buildings, bridges or other large obstructions in the area.

AM reception

Ionosphere

B750A01L

AM and FM radio signals are broadcast from transmitter towers located around your city. They are intercepted by the radio antenna on your car. This signal is then received by the radio and sent to your car speakers. When a strong radio signal has reached your vehicle, the precise engineering of your audio system ensures the best pos- sible quality reproduction. However, in some cases the signal coming to your vehicle may not be strong and clear.

B750A02L

AM broadcasts can be received at greater distances than FM broadcasts. This is because AM radio waves are transmitted at low frequencies. These long, low fre- quency radio waves can follow the curva- ture of the earth rather than travelling straight out into the atmosphere. In addi- tion, they curve around obstructions so that they can provide better signal cover- age.
