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 se- rious injury or death.

WARNING:

Be sure that the clutch is fully de- pressed when starting a manual transaxle vehicle. Your manual transaxle equipped vehicle will not start unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed. On a manual transaxle equipped vehicle that can be started without depressing the clutch, there is the potential to cause damage to the vehicle or injury to someone inside or outside the vehicle as a result of the forward or backward movement of the vehicle that will occur if the clutch is not depressed when the vehicle is started.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

4. Turn the ignition key to the "Start" po- sition 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 seconds between starting at- tempts to protect the starter from over- heating.

WARNING:

Always fully depress the brake pedal before and while shifting out of the "P" Park position into another position to avoid inadvertent motion of the vehicle which could injure persons in or around the car.

OPERATING THE MANUAL TRANSAXLE

C070A01MC-GAT

OMC035013
Your Hyundai's manual transaxle has five forward gears and one reverse gear. This shift pattern is also imprinted on the shift knob. The transaxle is fully synchro- nized in all forward gears so shifting to either a higher or a lower gear is easily accomplished. When shifting into reverse gear, pull the mis-shift prevention tab and shift into re- verse gear position.

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 po- sition.

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

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 premature wear of the transaxle shift forks.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2

C070B01A-AAT

Using the Clutch 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 un- necessary wear. Do not partially engage the clutch to hold the car on an incline. This causes unnec- essary 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 recommended for optimum fuel economy and performance.

CAUTION:

o Do not downshift more than 2 gears or downshift the gear when the en- gine is running at high speed (5,000
RPM or higher). Such downshifting may damage the engine.

o When downshifting from fifth gear to fourth gear, caution should be taken not to inadvertently press the gear shift lever sideways in such a man- ner 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 en- gine damage.

o Exercise extreme caution when driv- ing on a slippery surface. Be espe- cially careful when braking, accelerat- ing 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.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

C070D03O-AAT

Good Driving Practices 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. In- stead, when you are driving down a long hill, slow down and shift to a lower gear. When you do this, engine brak- ing 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 neu- tral, wait three seconds, then shift to the reverse position.

WARNING:

o Always buckle-up! In a collision, an unbelted occupant is significantly more likely to be seriously injured or killed than a properly belted occu- pant.

o Avoid high speeds when cornering

or turning.

o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lane changes or fast, sharp turns.

o The risk of rollover is greatly in- creased 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 roadway.

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

o Never exceed posted speed limits.

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE

C090A01A-AAT

OMC035014
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.

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 gradually. The transaxle will automati- cally shift to the second, third and over- drive gears.

CAUTION:

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

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2

C090B02A-AAT

The function of each position is as follows:

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

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 10

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 engaged. The engine can be started with the shift lever in "N" position, although this is not recommended except if the engine stalls while the car is mov- ing.

C090E02A-AAT

o D (Drive): Use for normal driving. Bring the car to a complete stop before shifting the selector to "D" position. The transaxle will auto- matically shift through a four-gear se- quence. 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 performed. However, the shift-up to third gear is done when the car speed ex- ceeds a certain value to prevent the en- gine from over-revving. Manually move the selector to "D" return- ing 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 sec- ond gear until the vehicle 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" position to a forward or reverse gear. o The ignition key must be in the "ON" position and the brake pedal fully depressed 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" position.

C090I05A-AAT

CAUTION:

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

o Do not accelerate the engine in re- verse 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 ignition when you leave the vehicle, even momentarily. Never leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running.

o When accelerating from a stop on a steep hill, the vehicle may have a tendency to roll backwards. Shifting the shift lever into 2nd gear will help prevent the vehicle from rolling back- wards.

o Check the automatic transaxle fluid level regularly, and add fluid as nec- essary.

o See the maintenance schedule for

the proper fluid recommendation.

C090P01A-AAT

Overdrive Switch

OMC035016

When the overdrive switch is turned on, the transaxle will automatically upshift to the second, third and overdrive gears. When the overdrive switch is turned off, the transaxle will not upshift to the over- drive gear. For normal driving, the selec- tor 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.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 12

C090N07A-AAT

Good Driving Practices o Never move the gear selector lever from "P" or "N" to any other position with the accelerator 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" or "D".

o Never take the car out of gear and coast down a hill. This may be ex- tremely hazardous. Always leave the car in gear when moving.

o Do not "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and malfunc- tion. 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 engaged.

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

o Exercise extreme caution when driv- ing on a slippery surface. Be espe- cially careful when braking, accelerat- ing 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 Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothly de- pressing and releasing the accelera- tor pedal.

o Turn the overdrive switch on for good fuel economy and smooth driving. If engine braking 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 over- drive switch be turned off. Turn the overdrive switch back on immediately afterward.

WARNING:

o Always buckle-up! In a collision, an unbelted occupant is significantly more likely to be seriously injured or killed than a properly belted occu- pant.

o Avoid high speeds when cornering

or turning.

o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lane changes or fast, sharp turns.

o The risk of rollover is greatly in- creased 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 roadway.

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

o Never exceed posted speed limits.

!

WARNING:

o If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow, mud, sand, etc., then you may attempt to rock the vehicle free by moving it forward and backward. Do not attempt this procedure if people or objects are anywhere near the vehicle. During the rocking opera- tion the vehicle may suddenly move forward or backward as it becomes unstuck, causing injury to nearby people or damage to objects.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYS- TEM

C120A01MC-AAT

(If Installed) The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed to prevent wheel lock-up dur- ing sudden braking or on hazardous road surfaces. The ABS control module moni- tors the wheel speed and controls the pressure applied to each brake. Thus, in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABS will increase vehicle control during braking.

NOTE: o A click sound may be heard in the engine compartment when the ve- hicle begins to move after the engine is started. These conditions are nor- mal and indicate that the anti-lock brake system is functioning prop- erly.

o During ABS operation, a slight pulsa- tion 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.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2
13

! WARNING:

ABS will not prevent accidents due to improper or dangerous driving maneu- vers. Even though vehicle control is improved during emergency braking, always maintain a safe distance be- tween you and objects ahead. Vehicle speeds should always be reduced dur- ing 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 re- duced speeds. The safety features of an ABS equipped vehicle should not be tested by high speed driving or corner- ing. This could endanger the safety of yourself or others.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 14

GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES

C130A02A-AAT

WARNING:

o Whenever leaving vehicle or park- ing, always set the parking brake as far as possible and fully engage the vehicle's transaxle into the P (Park) position (automatic transaxle) or in first or reverse (manual transaxle). Vehicles not fully engaged in P (Park) with the parking brake set are at risk for moving inadvertently and injuring yourself or others.

o All vehicles should always have the parking brake fully engaged when parking to avoid inadvertent move- ment of the car which can injure occupants or pedestrians.

o 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 for- ward and cause damage to the ve- hicle or injure the occupants.

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 auto- matic 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. Firmly engage the parking brake and place the gear selector lever in "P" (automatic transaxle) or in first or re- verse 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.

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 ac- tion returns to normal, taking care to keep the car under control 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 assistance.

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 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 com- ponents.

o Under some conditions your parking brake can freeze in the engaged posi- tion. 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" (automatic) 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. Al- ways use the brake pedal or parking brake.

DRIVING FOR ECONOMY

C140A02A-AAT You can save fuel and get more miles from your car if you follow these sugges- tions:

o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a mod- erate 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 possible. Always maintain a safe dis- tance from other vehicles so you can avoid unnecessary braking. This also reduces brake wear.

o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive the more fuel your vehicle uses. Driving at a moderate speed, in the highest gear appropriate for the conditions, especially on the highway, 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 increase wear on these com- ponents. In addition, driving with your foot resting on the brake pedal may cause the brakes to overheat, which reduces their effectiveness and may lead to more serious consequences.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2
15

o Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated to the recommended pressure. Incorrect inflation, either too much or too little, results in unnecessary tire wear. Check the tire pressures at least once a month.

o Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper alignment can re- sult from hitting curbs or driving too fast over irregular surfaces. Poor align- ment causes faster tire wear and may also result in other problems as well as greater fuel consumption.

o Keep your car in good condition. For better fuel economy and reduced main- tenance costs, maintain your car in accordance with the maintenance schedule in Section 5. If you drive your car in severe conditions, more fre- quent maintenance is required (see Section 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 important 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 corrosion.

SMOOTH CORNERING

WINTER DRIVING

C150A01A-AAT Avoid braking or gear changing in cor- ners, especially when roads are wet. Ide- ally, corners 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:

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 16

o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary weight in your car. Weight reduces fuel economy.

o Don't let the engine idle longer than necessary. 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. After the engine has started, allow the engine to run for 10 to 20 seconds prior to plac- ing the vehicle in gear. In very cold weather, however, give your engine a slightly longer warm-up period.

o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging is driving too slowly in too high a gear resulting in the engine bucking. If this happens, shift to a lower gear. Over-revving is racing the en- gine beyond its safe limit. This can be avoided by shifting at the recommend- ed speeds.

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

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2
17

C160E01A-AAT

Change to "Winter Weight" Oil if Necessary 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.

C160F02A-AAT

Check Spark Plugs and Ignition System Inspect your spark plugs 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.

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 han- dling of your car. Furthermore, speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden brake appli- cations, and sharp turns are potentially very hazardous practices. During deceleration, use engine braking to the fullest extent. Sudden brake appli- cations on snowy or icy roads may cause skids to occur. You need to keep suffi- cient 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 Your Hyundai is delivered with high qual- ity ethylene 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, lubri- cates the water pump and prevents freez- ing. Be sure to replace or replenish your coolant in accordance with the mainte- nance schedule in Section 5. Before win- ter, have your coolant tested to assure that its freezing point is sufficient for the temperatures anticipated during the win- ter.

C160D01A-AAT

Check Battery and Cables Winter puts additional burdens on the battery system. Visually inspect the bat- tery 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.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 18

C160G01A-AAT

To Keep Locks from Freezing To keep the locks from freezing, squirt an approved 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 Win- dow Washer System To keep the water in the window washer system from freezing, add an approved anti-freeze solution in accordance with instructions on the container. Window washer anti-freeze is available 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 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 re- lease 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 inter- fere with the steering. When driving in severe winter conditions where this may happen, you should periodically check underneath the car to be sure the move- ment of the front wheels and the steering components is not obstructed.

C160K01A-AAT

Carry Emergency Equipment 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.

HIGHER SPEED MOTORING

C170A02A-AAT

Pre-Trip Inspections 1. Tires: Adjust the tire inflation pressures for high- way 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 fail- ure.

NOTE: Never exceed the maximum tire infla- tion pressure shown on the tires.

WARNING:

o Underinflated or overinflated tires can cause poor handling, loss of ve- hicle control, and sudden tire failure leading to accidents, injuries, and even death. Always check tires are properly inflated before driving. Refer to pages 2-20 and 8-3 for proper tire pressures and further information.

USE OF LIGHTS

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2
19

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

WARNING:

o Driving on tires with no or insuffi- cient tread is dangerous. Worn-out tires can result in loss of vehicle control, collisions, injury, and even death. Worn-out tires should be re- placed as soon as possible and should never be used for driving. Always check tire tread before driv- ing your car. Refer to 8-12 for further information and tread limits.

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.

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.

Vehicle capacity weight: 849 lbs (385 kg) Vehicle capacity weight is the maxi- mum combined weight of occupants and cargo.

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: We do not recommend using this ve- hicle for trailer towing.

Cargo capacity: The cargo capacity of your vehicle will increase or decrease depending on the weight and the number of occupants.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2
21

Steps For Determining Correct Load Limit - 1. Locate the statement "The com- bined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.'' 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 kg or XXX lbs.

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.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 22

6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your ve- hicle.

C190G01A The compliance label is located on the driver's side of the center pillar outer panel.

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.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 24

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 the left and right sides of the centerline.

! 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.

! 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.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2

NOTE: o Overloading your vehicle may cause damage. Repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Do not overload your vehicle.

o Using heavier suspension com- ponents to get added durability might not change your weight ratings. Ask your dealer to help you load your vehicle the right way.

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 move 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 strike 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.

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 assistance.

D010D01A-AAT

If the Engine Stalls While Driving 1. Reduce your speed gradually, keep- ing 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 assis- tance.

F020100AUN-EU

If the Engine Stalls at a Crossroad or Crossing If the engine stalls at a crossroad or crossing, set the shift lever in the N(Neutral) position and then push the vehicle to a safe place.

JUMP STARTING

D020A02A-AAT

D020A02MC

WARNING:

The gas produced by the battery during the jump-start operation is highly ex- plosive. If these instructions are not followed exactly, serious personal in- jury and damage to the vehicle may occur! If you are not sure how to follow this procedure, seek qualified assis- tance. Automobile batteries contain sul- furic 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.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

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 facil- ity, continue to apply water to the af- fected area with a sponge or cloth.

o The gas produced by the battery dur- ing 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 can- not determine that it is a 12-volt bat- tery, do not attempt 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 ve- hicles are not touching.

2. Turn off all unnecessary lights and

accessories in both vehicles.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

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 discharged 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 negative (-) post or cable of the booster battery. 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 discharged battery using the normal starting procedure. After the engine starts, leave the jumper cables con- nected 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 be- came 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 over- heating, you experience a loss of power, or hear loud pinging or knocking, the engine is probably too hot. If this hap- pens, you should:

1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as

it is safe to do so.

2. Place the gear selector lever in "P" (automatic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioner is on, turn it off.

3. If coolant is running out under the car or steam is coming out from under- neath the hood, stop the engine. Do not open the hood until the coolant 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 mov- ing 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 en- gine immediately and call the nearest Hyundai dealer for assistance.

WARNING:

Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. This may result in coolant being blown out of the opening and cause serious burns.

6. If you cannot find the cause of the overheating, wait until the engine tem- perature has returned to normal. Then, if coolant has been lost, carefully add water to the reservoir (Page 6-8) to bring the fluid level in the reservoir up to the halfway mark.

7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheating. If over- heating happens again, call a Hyundai dealer for assistance.

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.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR- ING SYSTEM (TPMS)

C320A01MC-AAT

(If Installed)

➀ Low Tire Pressure Telltale ➁ TPMS Malfunction Indicator

C320A01TG

Each tire, including the spare (if pro- vided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

As an added safety feature, your ve- hicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accord- ingly, when the low tire pressure tell- tale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pres- sure. Driving on a significantly under- inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under- inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not oper- ating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is provided by a separate telltale, which displays the symbol "TPMS" when illuminated. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the instal- lation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction indicator after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alter- nate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

Low Tire Pressure Telltale

When the tire pressure monitoring sys- tem warning telltale is illuminated, one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Immediately reduce your speed, avoid hard cornering and anticipate increased stopping distances. You should stop and check your tires as soon as pos- sible. Inflate the tires to the proper pressure as indicated on the vehicle’s placard or tire inflation pressure label located on the driver’s side center pillar outer panel. If you cannot reach a service station or if the tire cannot hold the newly added air, replace the low pressure tire with the temporary spare tire. Then the TPMS malfunc- tion indicator or the Low Tire Pressure telltale may turn on until you have the low-pressure tire repaired and replaced on the vehicle.

!

CAUTION:

In winter or cold weather, the low tire pressure telltale may be illumi- nated if the tire pressure was ad- justed to the recommended tire in- flation pressure in warm weather. It does not mean your TPMS is mal- functioning because the decreased temperature leads to a proportional lowering of tire pressure. When you drive your vehicle from a warm area to a cold area or from a cold area to a warm area, or the outside temperature is greatly higher or lower, you should check the tire inflation pressure and ad- just the tires to the recommended tire inflation pressure.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

the same time as the TPMS malfunc- tion indicator. Have the system checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer as soon as possible to deter- mine the cause of the problem.

NOTE: o The TPMS malfunction indicator may be illuminated if the vehicle is moving around electric power sup- ply cables or radio transmitters such as police stations, govern- ment and public offices, broad- casting stations, military installa- tions, airports, or transmitting tow- ers, etc. which can interfere with normal operation of the Tire Pres- sure Monitoring System (TPMS). o The TPMS malfunction indicator may be illuminated if snow chains are used or some separate elec- tronic devices such as notebook computer, mobile charger, remote starter or navigation etc., are used in the vehicle. This can interfere with normal operation of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).

WARNING:

Significantly low tire pressure makes the vehicle unstable and can contribute to loss of vehicle control and increased braking distances. Continued driving on low pressure tires will cause the tires to overheat and fail.

TPMS (Tire Pressure Moni- toring System) Malfunction Indicator

The TPMS malfunction indicator comes on and stays on when there is a problem with the Tire Pressure Moni- toring System. If the system is able to correctly detect an under-inflation warn- ing at the same time as system failure then it will illuminate both the TPMS malfunction and the low tire pressure telltale e.g. if Front Left sensor fails, the TPMS malfunction indicator turns on, but if Front Right, Rear Left, or Rear Right tire is under-inflated, the low tire pressure telltale may turn on at

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

o If there is a failed tire sensor, it is possible for the TPMS to tempo- rarily learn a replacement sensor if closely driven to another ve- hicle that is also equipped with TPMS. In rare cases, this may temporarily delay the TPMS mal- function indicator from turning on.

Changing a tire with TPMS If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire Pressure telltale will turn on. Have the flat tire repaired by an authorized Hyundai dealer as soon as possible or replace the flat tire with the temporary spare tire.

NOTE: NEVER use a puncture-repairing agent to repair and/or inflate a low pressure tire. If used, you will have to replace the tire pressure sensor.

Each wheel is equipped with a tire pressure sensor mounted inside the tire behind the valve stem. You must use TPMS specific wheels. It is rec- ommended that you always have your tires serviced by an authorized Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. After you replace the low pressure tire with the spare tire, the TPMS malfunc- tion indicator or the Low Tire Pressure telltale may illuminate after restarting and about 20 minutes of continuous driving. Once the low pressure tire is re-in- flated to the recommended pressure and installed on the vehicle, the TPMS malfunction indicator and the low tire pressure telltale will be extinguished. If the low pressure and TPMS mal- function indicators are not extinguished after about 20 minutes of continuous driving, please visit an authorized Hyundai dealer. You may not be able to identify a low tire by simply looking at it. Always use a good quality tire pressure gauge to measure the tire's inflation pressure.

Please note that a tire that is hot (from being driven) will have a higher pres- sure measurement than a tire that is cold (from sitting stationary for at least 3 hours and driven less than 1 mile during that 3 hour period). Allow the tire to cool before measuring the infla- tion pressure. Always be sure the tire is cold before inflating to the recommended pres- sure. A cold tire means the vehicle has been sitting for 3 hours and driven for less than 1 mile in that 3 hour period.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

This device complies with Part 15
of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful

interference, and

2. This device must accept any inter- ference received, including interfer- ence that may cause undesired op- eration.

WARNING:

Changes or modifications not ex- pressly approved by the party re- sponsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

CAUTION:

o Do not use any tire sealant if your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System. The liquid sealant can damage the tire pressure sensors.

o In order for the system to cor- rectly monitor tires for under-in- flation, there should be a total of exactly 4 sensors fitted to each of the four driven wheel positions. There should be no other sen- sors in the vehicle including spare tire since this could cause the system to monitor the wrong sen- sors.

WARNING - TPMS

o The TPMS cannot alert you to severe and sudden tire damage caused by external factors such as nails or road debris.

o If you feel any vehicle instability, immediately take your foot off the accelerator, apply the brakes gradually and with light force, and slowly move to a safe posi- tion off the road.

WARNING:

Tampering with, modifying, or dis- abling the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) components may interfere with the system's ability to warn the driver of low tire pressure conditions and/or TPMS malfunc- tions. Tampering with, modifying, or disabling the Tire Pressure Moni- toring System (TPMS) components may void the warranty for that por- tion of the vehicle.

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.

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 compo- nents may occur.

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

CAUTION:

o Do not use snow chains with

your temporary spare tire.

o Do not use more than one tempo-

rary spare tire at a time.

o When the original tire and wheel are repaired and reinstalled on the vehicle, the wheel nut torque must be set correctly to prevent wheel vibration. The correct wheel nut tightening torque is 65~79lb- ft (9~11kg.m).

! WARNING:

The temporary spare tire is for emer- gency use only. Do not operate your vehicle on this temporary spare at speeds over 50 mph (80 km/h). The original tire should be repaired or replaced as soon as is possible to avoid failure of the spare possi- bly leading to personal injury or death.

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 carefully 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 high- way, 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).

3. Have all passengers get out of the car. Be sure they all get out on the side of the car that is away from traffic.
