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 finger- prints 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. These could severely damage the playback mechanism.
B850A02L Fingerprints, dust, or soil on the surface of a disc 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.
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 original protec- tive cassette case. When the vehicle is very hot or cold, allow the interior temperature to become more comfortable before listening to your cas- settes.
1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 124
o Never leave a cassette inserted in the player when not being played. This could damage the tape player unit and the cassette 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.
o Store cassettes in a cool, dry place with the open side facing down to prevent dust from setting in the cassette body.
o Avoid repeated fast reverse usage to replay one given tune or tape section. This can cause poor tape winding to occur, and even- tually 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 The playback head, capstan and pinch roll- ers 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 commercially avail- able head cleaning tape or special solution available from audio specialty shops. Follow the supplier's directions 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 sprockets to wind up any slack.

WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
C010A01GK-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 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.

WARNING:
Be sure that the clutch is fully depressed when starting a manual transaxle vehicle. Your manual transaxle equipped vehicle will not start unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed.
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.
HGK3023
Your Hyundai's manual transaxle has a con- ventional shift pattern. This shift pattern is im- printed 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 accom- plished.HGK3024
When shifting into reverse gear, pull the mis- shift prevention tab and shift into reverse gear position. (B Type: 6 speed type)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 harm- ful 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 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 inad- vertently press the gear shift lever sideways in such a manner that second gear is en- gaged. 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 cause engine damage.
C070B01A-AAT Using the Clutch
C070D03A-AAT Good Driving Practices
The clutch should be pressed all the way to the floor before shifting, then released slowly. The clutch pedal should always be fully returned to the original position. 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 unnecessary wear. Use the foot brake or parking brake to hold the car on an incline. Do not operate the clutch pedal rapidly and repeatedly.
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 ve- hicle 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, unbelted person is significantly more likely to be seriously injured or killed than a person wearing a seatbelt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly increased if you lose control of your vehicle at high- way 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 road- way, do not steer sharply. Instead, slow down before pulling back into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed limits.

HGK3025
The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transaxle has four forward speeds and one reverse speed. The individual speeds are selected au- tomatically, depending on the position of the speed selector lever. The selector lever has 2
gates; the main gate and the manual gate.NOTE: For information on manual gate operation, refer to "Sports Mode".
In the main gate, the selector lever has 4
positions, and is equipped with a button to avoid inadvertent selection.The first few shifts on a new vehicle, or if the
2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
battery has been disconnected, may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal condi- tion, and the shifting sequence will adjust after shifts are cycled a few times by the T.C.M (Transaxle Control Module).
NOTE:
Depress the brake pedal and push the button when shifting. Push the button when shifting. The selector lever can be shifted freely.
The indicator lights in the instrument cluster indicate the selector lever position when the ignition is switched "ON". During the sports mode operation, the gear currently in use dis- plays in the numeral indicator.
C090B01A-AAT The function of each position is as fol- lows:
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.
C090D02O-AAT o N (Neutral):
In the "N" position, the transaxle is in neutral, 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 moving.
HGK3040
o P (Park):
C090E01O-AAT o D(Drive):
CAUTION:
Never shift into "R" or "P" position while the vehicle is moving.
Use to hold the vehicle in place when parked or while starting the engine. Whenever parking the car, apply the parking brake and shift the selec- tor lever to the "P" (Park) position.
Use for normal driving. The transaxle will auto- matically shift through a four gear sequence.
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.
C090F02GK-GAT Sports Mode
HGK3027
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in motion, sports mode is selected by pushing the selector lever from the "D" position into the manual gate. To return to "D" range operation, push the selector lever back into the main gate. In sports mode, moving the selector lever back- wards and forwards can make rapid gearshifts simple. In contrast to a manual transaxle, the sports mode allows gearshifts with the accel- erator pedal depressed. UP (+) : Push the lever forward once to shift up one gear. DOWN (-) : Pull the lever backwards once to shift down one gear.CAUTION:
o In sports mode, the driver must execute shifts in accordance with prevailing road conditions, taking care to keep the en- gine speed below the red zone.
o For engine protection, upward shifts are made automatically when the engine rpm reaches the red zone.
o By rapidly moving the selector lever backwards (-) twice it is possible to skip one gear by using the sports mode. Since sudden engine braking and/or rapid acceleration can cause a loss of traction, however, downshifts must be made carefully in accordance with the vehicle's speed.
NOTE: o In sports mode, only the four forward gears can be selected. To select reverse or park, move the selector lever to the "R" or "P" position as required.
o In sports mode, downward shifts are made automatically when the vehicle slows down. When the vehicle stops, 1st gear is automatically selected.
DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
o To maintain the required levels of ve- hicle performance and safety, the sys- tem may not execute certain gearshifts when the selector lever is operated.
o Before driving away from a stop on a slippery road, push the selector lever forward into the +(UP) position. This causes the transaxle to shift into 2nd gear which is better for smooth driving away on a slippery road. Push the selec- tor lever to the -(DOWN) side to shift back to 1st gear.
C090H01L-GAT NOTE: o For smooth and safe operation, depress the brake pedal when shifting from "Neu- tral" 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 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" position to "P" position. The vehicle must be fully stopped to avoid transaxle damage.
2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 10
C090I03L-GAT
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 shift- ing from "P" or "N", to "R", "D"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 Check the automatic transaxle fluid level
regularly, and add fluid as necessary.
o When accelerating from a stop on a steep hill, the vehicle may have a ten- dency to roll backwards. Shifting the shift lever into 2nd gear while in Sport mode will help prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards.
o See the maintenance schedule for the
proper fluid recommendation.
C090N03O-AAT Good Driving Practices
o Never move the gear selector lever from "P" or "N" to any other position with the accelera- tor 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 ve- hicle 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 high- way 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 road- way, do not steer sharply. Instead, slow down before pulling back into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed limits. o Excessive depressing of the accelerater pedal in slippery driving conditions such as pulling out of deep snow or mud may cause severe damage to the transaxle. Rocking the vehicle is not recommended. Rather, use an appropriate towing method.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES
DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
11
C120A02A-AAT (If installed)
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed to prevent wheel lock-up during sudden braking or on hazardous road surfaces. The ABS con- trol module monitors the wheel speed and con- trols the pressure applied to each brake. Thus, in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABS will increase vehicle control during braking.
NOTE: 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.
WARNING:
ABS will not prevent accidents due to im- proper or dangerous driving maneuvers. Even though vehicle control is improved during emergency braking, always main- tain a safe distance between you and ob- jects ahead. Vehicle speeds should always be reduced during extreme road condi- tions. 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 vehicle should be driven at reduced speeds.
o Rough, gravel or snow-covered roads. o With tire chains installed. o Roads where the road surface is pitted or
has different surface height.
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.
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 cause the car to pull to one side. To dry the brakes, apply the brakes lightly while driving slowly until the braking action 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.
2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 12
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 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 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.
ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM (ESP)
C310A01JM-AAT (If installed)
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" (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 transmission to overheat. Always use the brake pedal or parking brake.
HGK3033-1
The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) system is designed to stabilize the vehicle during cor- nering manuevers. ESP checks where you are steering and where the vehicle is actually going. ESP applies the brakes at individual wheels and intervenes in the engine management system to stabilize the vehicle.The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) system is an electronic system designed to help the driver maintain vehicle control under adverse conditions. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Factors including speed, road con- ditions and driver steering input can all affect whether ESP will be effective in preventing a loss of control. It is still your responsibility to drive and corner at reasonable speeds and to leave a sufficient margin of safety.
!
CAUTION:
Driving with varying tire or wheel size may cause the ESP system to malfunction. When replacing tires, make sure they are the same size as your original tires.
WARNING:
Electronic stability program is only a driv- ing aid; all normal precautions for driving in inclement weather and on slippery road surfaces should be observed.

C310B01JM-AAT ESP ON/OFF Mode
C310D01JM-AAT Indicators and Warning
When the ESP is operating, the ESP indicator in the instrument cluster will blink. If you turn the system off by pressing the ESP switch, the ESP-OFF indicator will come on and stay on. In the ESP-OFF mode, the stability control will be deactivated. Adjust your driving accordingly. To turn the system back on, press the switch again. The ESP-OFF indicator should go off.
NOTE: The ESP mode will automatically be turned ON after the engine is turned off and re- started.
The indicators should illuminate when the igni- tion key is turned to ON or START but should go out after three seconds. If the indicators do not illuminate, or the ESP or ESP-OFF indicator does not go out after 3
seconds, have the vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.Should there be any unusual conditions in the device while driving, ESP-OFF indicator illumi- nates as a warning. If ESP-OFF indicator illuminates, pull your car to a safe place and stop the engine. Then, start the engine again to check if the ESP- OFF indicator goes out.
If the indicator remains lit even after the engine has been started, have your car checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging is driving too slowly in too high a gear result- ing in the engine bucking. If this happens, shift to a lower gear. Over-revving is racing the engine beyond its safe limit. This can be avoided by shifting at the recommended 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.

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 pos- sible. 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 increase wear on these components. In addition, 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 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 cor- rectly. Improper alignment can result from hitting curbs or driving too fast over irregular surfaces. Poor alignment 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 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 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 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.
SMOOTH CORNERING
WINTER DRIVING
C150A01A-AAT Avoid braking or gear changing in corners, especially when roads are wet. Ideally, corners should always be taken under gentle accelera- tion. 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:
DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
15
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. Speeding, rapid accelera- tion, 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 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.
2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 16
C160C01A-AAT Use High Quality Ethylene Glycol Cool- ant
C160E01A-AAT Change to "Winter Weight" Oil if Neces- sary
C160H02A-AAT Use Approved Window Washer Anti- Freeze in System
Your Hyundai is delivered with high quality 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 cool- ing system, lubricates the water pump and prevents freezing. Be sure to replace or replen- ish your coolant in accordance with the main- tenance schedule in Section 5. Before winter, have your coolant tested to assure that its freezing point is sufficient for the temperatures anticipated during the winter.
C160D01F-AAT Check Battery and Cables
Winter puts additional burdens on the battery system. Visually inspect the battery and cables as described in Section 6 (See page 6-23). 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.
C160F01F-AAT Check Spark Plugs and Ignition System
Inspect your spark plugs as described in Sec- tion 6 (See page 6-10) 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 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.
To keep the water in the window washer system from freezing, add an approved window washer anti-freeze solution in accordance with instruc- tions 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 paint 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 there is a risk the parking brake may freeze, apply it only tempo- rarily 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.

USE OF LIGHTS
DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
17
C180A01A-AAT Check your lights regularly for correct opera- tion 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.
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.
C160K01A-AAT Carry Emergency Equipment
Depending on the severity of the weather where you drive your car, you should carry appropri- ate 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.
C170A01A-AAT Pre-Trip Inspections 1. Tires: Adjust the tire inflation pressures to specifica- tion. 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 pressure 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 18
TRAILER OR VEHICLE TOWING
C190A01S-AAT If you are considering towing with your car, you should first check with your State's Department of Motor Vehicles to determine their legal re- quirements. Since laws vary from State to State, the require- ments for towing trailers, cars, other types of vehicles, or apparatus may differ. Ask your Hyundai dealer for further details before towing.
CAUTION:
Do not do any towing with your car during its first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) in order to allow the engine to properly break in. Fail- ure to heed this caution may result in seri- ous engine or transaxle damage.
C190B01S-AAT Trailer Hitches
C190C02S-AAT Trailer Brakes
Select the proper hitch and ball combination, making sure that its location is compatible with that of the trailer or vehicle being towed. Use a quality non-equalizing hitch which distributes the tongue load uniformly throughout the chas- sis.
The hitch should be bolted securely to the car and installed by a qualified technician. DO NOT USE A HITCH DESIGNED FOR TEMPORARY INSTALLATION AND NEVER USE ONE THAT ATTACHES ONLY TO THE BUMPER.
If your trailer is equipped with a braking system, make sure it conforms to federal and/or local regulations and that it is properly installed and operating correctly.
NOTE: If you tow a trailer or vehicle, your car will require more frequent maintenance due to the additional load. See "Maintenance Un- der Severe Usage Conditions" on page 5-6.
CAUTION:
o Never connect a trailer brake system
directly to the vehicle brake system.
o When towing a trailer on steep grades (in excess of 12%) pay close attention to the engine coolant temperature gauge to ensure the engine does not overheat. If the needle of the coolant temperature gauge moves across the dial towards "H" (HOT), pull over and stop as soon as it is safe to do so, and allow the engine to idle until it cools down. You may proceed once the engine has cooled sufficiently.
C190D01S-AAT Safety Chains
C190E02GK-AAT Trailer Weight Limit
Should the hitch connection between your vechile and the trailer or vehicle you are towing fail, the trailer or vehicle could wander danger- ously across other lanes of traffic and ultimately leave the roadway. To eliminate this potentially dangerous situation, safety chains, attached between your car and the trailer or towed vehicle, are required in most states.
Tongue load
Total trailer weight
C190E01L Tongue loads can be increased or decreased by redistributing the load in the trailer. This can be verified by checking the total weight of the loaded trailer and then checking the load on the tongue.
NOTE: 1. Never load the trailer with more weight in the back than in the front. About 60% of the trailer load should be in the front half on the trailer and the remaining 40% in the rear.

Gross axle weight Gross vehicle weight
C190E02L 2. The total gross vehicle weight with trailer must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) shown on the vehicle identification plate (see page 8- 1). The total gross vehicle weight is the combined weight of the vehicle, driver, all passengers and their luggage, cargo, hitch, trailer tongue load and other op- tional equipment.
3. The front or rear axle weight must not exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) shown on the vehicle identifi- cation plate (see page 8-2). It is possible that your towing package does not ex- ceed the GVWR but exceeds the GAWR. Improper trailer loading and/or too much luggage in the trunk can overload the rear axle. Redistribute the load and check the axle weight again.
2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 20
CAUTION:
The following specifications are recom- mended when towing a trailer. The loaded trailer weight cannot safely exceed the val- ues in the chart below.

WARNING:
o Improperly loading your vehicle and trailer can seriously affect its steering and braking performance causing a crash which could cause serious injury or death.
o Towing a trailer affected vehicle han-
dling and braking.
o Drive more slowly when towing a trailer and allow more distance when braking. o Be careful when driving in slippery and
windy conditions.
o Be careful when turning and while driv-
ing up and down hills.
C190F01S-AAT Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check hitch and safety chain connections as well as proper operation of the trailer running lights, brake lights, and turn signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a moderate
speed. (Less than 60 mph)
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than normal
conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking efficiency and electrical charging performance, do not use fifth gear (manual transaxle) or overdrive (automatic transaxle).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent
load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pressure of all tires on the trailer and your car. Low tire pressure can seriously affect the handling. Also check the spare tire.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more af-
fected by crosswind and buffeting. When being passed by a large vehicle, keep a constant speed and steer straight ahead. If there is too much wind buffeting, slow down to get out of the other vehicle's air turbulence. 8. When parking your car and trailer, especially on a hill, be sure to follow all the normal precautions. Turn your front wheel into the curb, set the parking brake firmly, and put the transaxle in 1st or Reverse (manual) or Park
9.
(automatic). In addition, place wheel chocks at each of the trailer's tires. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving, and then apply the trailer brake controller by hand to be sure the brakes are working. This lets you check your electrical connection at the same time. 10.During your trip, occasionally check to be sure that the load is secure, and that the lights and any trailer brakes are still working. 11.Avoid jerky starts, sudden acceleration or
sudden stops.
12.Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes. 13.Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat, resulting in reduced braking efficiency.
14.When going down a hill, shift into a lower gear
and use the engine braking effect. When ascending a long grade, downshift the transaxle to a lower gear and reduce speed to reduce chances of engine overloading and/or overheating.
15.If you have to stop while going uphill, do not hold the vehicle in place by pressing on the accelerator. This can cause the automatic transaxle to overheat. Use the parking brake or footbrake.
NOTE: When towing check transaxle fluid more frequently.
!
CAUTION:
If overheating should occur when towing, (the temperature gauge reads near red zone), taking the following action may reduce or eliminate the problem.
1. Turn off the air conditioner. 2. Reduce highway speed. 3. Select a lower gear when going uphill. 4. While in stop and go traffic, place the gear selector in park or neutral and idle the engine at a higher speed.
VEHICLE LOAD LIMIT
C190F01JM-AAT Tire and Loading Information Label
I030B01GK 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

Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit (1)Locate the statement "The combined 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.)
2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 22
(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.

C190G01JM The compliance label is located on the driver's side of the center piller outer panel.
The label shows the size of your original tires and the inflation pressures needed to obtain the gross weight capacity of your vehicle. This is called the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR includes the weight of the ve- hicle, 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 both sides of the centerline.
WARNING:
o Never exceed the GVWR for your vehicle, or the GAWR for either the front or rear axle.
o Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the GVWR, or either the maximum front or rear GAWR. If you do, parts on your vehicle can break, and it can change the way your vehicle handles. This could cause you to lose control and crash. Also, overloading can shorten the life of your vehicle.
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 rat- ings. 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 any- thing 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 inside
the vehicle, secure it.
o Do not drive with a seat folded
down unless necessary.

HGK4002
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 assistance. Automobile batteries contain sulfuric acid. This is poisonous and highly corrosive. When jump starting, wear pro- tective 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 facil- ity, continue 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 an 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 attempt to use it for the jump start.
WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
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 negative (-) post or cable of the booster battery. Then attach the other end of that cable to a solid metal part of the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery 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 2,000
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.
WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
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 and the engine is probably too hot. If this happens and, 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 conditioning is on, turn it off. If engine 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 engine coolant has stopped running or the steaming has stopped. If there is no visible loss of engine 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 engine coolant leak- ing from the radiator, hoses or under the car. (If the air conditioning 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 hair, hands, 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 engine coolant is leaking out, stop the engine immediately and call the nearest Hyundai dealer for assistance.
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. This can allow coolant to be blown out of the opening and cause seri- ous burns.
6.
If you cannot find the cause of the overheat- ing, wait until the engine temperature has returned to normal. Then, if the engine cool- ant 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 fur- ther signs of overheating. If overheating happens again, call a Hyundai dealer for assistance.
CAUTION:
