(9)For a speedometer test or inspection/main- tenance (I/M) program of a Tucson 4WD vehicle, use a four wheel chassis dynamom- eter.

(10)When using tire chains, always attach them

to the front wheels.

(11)If the front or rear wheels get stuck in the mud, do not spin them recklessly. The 4WD system could be damaged.

CAUTION:

Never engage the parking brake while per- forming these tests.

o In rare cases when it's unavoidable that a 4WD vehicle is to be inspected on a 2WD roll tester, strictly follow the proce- dures. 1. Check the tire pressures recom-

mended for your vehicle.

2. Place the front wheels on the roll

tester as shown in the illustration.

3. Release the parking brake. 4. Place the rear wheels on the tempo- rary free roller as shown in the illustra- tion.

WARNING:

Keep away from the front of the vehicle while inspecting. This is very dangerous as the vehicle can jump forward and cause serious injury or death.

CAUTION:

o While the full-time 4WD vehicle is being raised on a jack, never start the engine or cause the tires to rotate. There is danger that rotating tires touch- ing the ground could cause the vehicle to go off the jack and to jump forward. o If one of the front or rear wheels begins to spin in mud, snow, etc., the vehicle can sometimes be driven out by de- pressing the accelerator pedal further; however, avoid running the engine con- tinuously at high rpm because doing so could damage the 4WD system.

WARNING:

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

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

o In a collision, an unbelted person is signicantly more likely to be seriously injured or killed than a person wearing a seat belt.

o Loss of control may 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.

4WD LOCK SYSTEM

C360A01O-GAT (With Electronic Control 4WD) (If installed)

This setup begins to get cancelled when the vehicle speed exceeds 30 km/h, and the func- tion is completely released at a speed of 40 km/ h or higher. Conversely, the function is rerun when the speed again drops to 40 km/h or lower, and is fully established at speeds below 30 km/ h. To release the 4WD lock function, press the 4WD lock button again. The 4WD lock indicator light in the instrument cluster should go off.

C360A01JM-U This 4WD system is designed for dividing the power ratio automatically in normal driving con- ditions. During off-road or low-friction driving condi- tions, press the 4WD lock button to drive in full- time 4WD, dividing the power ratio to 50:50 in the front and rear wheels. The 4WD lock indicator light in the instrument cluster is illuminated.

C360A02JM 1) Pressing the 4WD lock button on the tough terrain, the driving power is equally distrib- uted to the front and rear. 4WD lock keeps activating when not ex- ceeding 40 km/h.

2) Release the 4WD lock button on the normal

driving conditions.

o This mode is used for climbing or descending sharp grades, off-road driving, driving on sandy and muddy roads etc. to maximize traction. o This mode automatically begins to deactivate at speed above 19 mph (30 km/h) and is shifted to 4WD AUTO mode at speed above 25 mph (40 km/h). If the vehicle decelerates to speeds below 19 mph (30 km/ h), however, the transfer mode is shifted into 4WD LOCK mode again.

o When driving in AUTO mode, the vehicle operates similar to the conventional 2WD vehicles under normal operating conditions. However, if the system determines that there is a need for the 4WD mode, the engine’s driving power is distributed to all four wheels automatically without driver intervention.

o When driving on normal roads and pavement, the vehicle moves

similar to the conventional 2WD vehicles.

NOTE: o When driving on normal roads, deactivate the 4WD LOCK mode by pushing the 4WD LOCK button(the indicator light goes off). Driving on normal roads with 4WD LOCK mode(especially, when cornering) may cause mechanical noise or vibration. The noise and vibration will disappear when the 4WD LOCK mode is deactivated. Some parts of the power train may be damaged by prolonged driving with the noise and vibration.

o When the 4WD LOCK mode is deactivated, a shock may be felt as the drive power delivered entirely to the front wheels. This shock is

not a mechanical failure.

GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES

C130A02A-AAT

WARNING:

o Whenever leaving vehicle or parking, always set the parking brake as far as possible and fully engage the vehicle's transaxle into the park position. Ve- hicles not fully engaged in park with the parking brake set are at risk for moving inadvertently and injuring yourself or others.

o All vehicles should always have the park- ing brake fully engaged when parking to avoid inadvertent movement of the car which can injure occupants or pedestri- ans.

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 forward and cause damage to the vehicle or injure the occu- pants.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

21

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

o Use caution when parking on a hill. Firmly engage the parking brake and place the gear selector 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.

o Under some conditions your parking brake can freeze in the engaged position. This is most likely to happen when there is an ac- cumulation 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. Always use the brake pedal or parking brake.

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 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.

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.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 22

DRIVING FOR ECONOMY

C140A02A-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. After the engine has started, allow the engine to run for 10 to 20
seconds prior to placing 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 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.

SMOOTH CORNERING

WINTER DRIVING

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

23

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:

C160B01JM-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 of the original equipment tires. Failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and handling of your car. Furthermore, speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden brake applications, and sharp turns are potentially very hazardous practices. During deceleration, use engine braking to the fullest extent. Sudden brake applications on snowy or icy roads may cause skids to occur. You need to keep sufficient distance between the vehicle in operation in front and your vehicle. Also, apply the brake gently. It should be noted that installing tire chains on the tire will provide a greater driving force, but will not prevent side skids.

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

o Tire chains are to be used on front tires

only.

C160C01A-AAT Use High Quality Ethylene Glycol Coolant

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.

C160D01A-AAT Check Battery and Cables

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

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 24

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

C160H02A-AAT Use Approved Window Washer Anti- Freeze in System

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

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

C160F01A-AAT Check Spark Plugs and Ignition System

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

C160G01A-AAT To Keep Locks from Freezing

To keep the locks from freezing, squirt an 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

USE OF LIGHTS

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

25

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.

HIGHER SPEED MOTORING

C170A02A-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.

WARNING:

o Underinflated or overinflated tires can cause poor handling, loss of vehicle control, and sudden tire failure leading to accidents, injuries, and even death. Always check tires are properly inflated before driving. Refer to pages 2-28 and 8-3 for proper tire pressures and further information.

o Driving on tires with no or insufficient tread is dangerous. Worn-out tires can result in loss of vehicle control, colli- sions, injury, and even death. Worn-out tires should be replaced as soon as possible and should never be used for driving. Always check tire tread before driving your car. Refer to 8-11 for further information and tread limits.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 26

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, or 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

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 distrib- utes the tongue load uniformly throughout the chassis.

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.

C190C01Y-AAT Trailer Brakes

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 Under 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 6%) 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

Should the hitch connection between your ve- hicle and the trailer or vehicle you are towing fail, the trailer or vehicle could wander dangerously across other lanes of traffic and ultimately leave the roadway. To eliminate this potentially dan- gerous situation, safety chains, attached be- tween your car and the trailer or towed vehicle, are required in most states.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

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.

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- 2). 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 cargo area can overload the rear axle. Redistribute the load and check the axle weight again.

o Tongue loads can be increased or de- creased by re-distributing 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.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 28

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.

o Do not exceed 45 mph or the posted towing speed limit, whichever is lower.

C190F01O-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. Trailer towing requires more fuel than normal

conditions.

3. To maintain engine braking efficiency, do not tow a trailer with the transaxle in fifth gear (manual transaxle) or overdrive (automatic transaxle).

4. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent

load shift while driving.

5. 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.

6. 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. 7. 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 (automatic). In addition, place wheel chocks at each of the trailer's tires.

8.

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. 9. During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure, and that the lights and any trailer brakes are still working. 10.Avoid jerky starts, sudden acceleration or

sudden stops.

11.Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes. 12.Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat, resulting in reduced braking efficiency.

13.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.

14.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.

15.If the transaxle shifts frequently while going

up a hill, shift down one gear.

NOTE: When towing check transaxle fluid more frequently.

CAUTION:

If overheating should occur when towing, (the temperature gauge reads near the red zone), taking the following actions 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.

Type B

I030A01JM

I03A01JM-A

I030A02-A 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: 860 lbs (390 kg) Vehicle capacity weight is the maxi- mum combined weight of occupants and cargo. If your vehicle is equipped with a trailer, the combined weight in- cludes the tongue load.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 30

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 including occupants and cargo, the vehicle can carry.

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

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

Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit (1)Locate the statement "The 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.)

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

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

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

C190G03JM-AAT

Compliance Label

C190G01JM The compliance label is located on the driver's side of the center piller 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.

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, the GAWR for either the front or rear axle and vehicle ca- pacity weight. Exceeding these rat- ings 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 vehicle. Be careful not to overload your vehicle.

! WARNING:

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 ve- hicle 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.

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 distances could result in serious injury or death.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

33

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.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 34

! 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.

IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START

D010A01A-AAT

WARNING:

If the engine will not start, do not push or pull the car to start it. This could result in a collision or cause other damage. In addi- tion, push or pull starting may cause the catalytic converter to be overloaded and create a fire hazard.

D010B02A-AAT If Engine Doesn't Turn Over or Turns Over Slowly

D010C02Y-AAT If Engine Turns Over Normally but Does Not Start

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 compart-

4.

ment. If the engine still does not start, call a Hyundai dealer or seek other qualified assistance.

D010D01A-AAT If Engine Stalls While Driving

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

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

HJM5008
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".

JUMP STARTING

D020A03A-AAT

Discharged battery

Booster battery

HJM4001

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.

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 illustration. First, attach one clamp of the jumper cable to the positive (+) post or cable of the discharged battery.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

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 con- nect 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 2,000 rpm for several minutes.

6. Carefully remove the jumper cables in the

reverse order of attachment.

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

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS

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

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

to do so.

3.

2. Place the gear selector lever in "P" (auto- matic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the parking brake. If the air 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 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 coolant leaking 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 coolant has been lost, carefully add coolant to the reservoir (page 6-9) 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:

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.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYS- TEM (TPMS)

C320A02JM-AAT (If installed)

➀ Low Tire Pressure Telltale ➁ TPMS Malfunction Indicator

C320A01JM

Each tire, including the spare (if pro- vided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pres- sure recommended by the vehicle manu- facturer 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 de- termine the proper tire inflation pres- sure for those tires.)

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operat- ing properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is provided by a separate tell- tale, which displays the symbol "TPMS" when illuminated. When the malfunc- tion indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS mal- functions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after re- placing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replace- ment or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function prop- erly.

As an added safety feature, your ve- hicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure tell- tale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accord- ingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. 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 han- dling 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.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

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 ser- vice station or if the tire cannot hold the newly added air, replace the low pres- sure tire with the temporary spare tire. Then the TPMS malfunction indicator may turn on and the Low Tire Pressure telltale may turn off after restarting and about 20 minutes of continuous driving before you have the low-pressure tire repaired and replaced on the vehicle.

CAUTION - Changing tem-

peratures

In winter or cold weather, the low tire pressure telltale may be illuminated if the tire pressure was adjusted to the recommended tire inflation pres- sure in warm weather. It does not mean your TPMS is malfunctioning 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 adjust the tires to the recommended tire inflation pressure.

WARNING - Low pressure

damage

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

TPMS (Tire pressure monitoring system) malfunction indicator

The TPMS malfunction indicator turns on and stays on when there is a problem with the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys- tem. If the system is able to correctly detect an under-inflation warning 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 mal- function indicator turns on, but if Front Right, Rear Left, or Rear Right tire is

under-inflated, the low tire pressure tell- tale may turn on at the same time as the TPMS malfunction indicator. Have the system checked by an autho- rized Hyundai dealer as soon as pos- sible to determine the cause of the problem.

NOTE: o The TPMS malfunction indicator may be illuminated if the vehicle is moving around electric power supply cable or radio transmitter such as police stations, govern- ment and public offices, broad- casting stations, military installa- tions, airports, or transmitting tower, 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 or some electronic devices, such as notebook computer, are used in the vehicle. This can interfere with normal operation of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).

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.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

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 recommended that you always have your tires serviced by an autho- rized Hyundai dealer as soon as pos- sible. After you replace the low pressure tire with the temporary spare tire, the TPMS malfunction indicator may illuminate after restarting and about 20 minutes of continuous driving. Once the low pressure tire is re-inflated to the recommended pressure and in- stalled on the vehicle, the TPMS mal- function indicator and the low tire pres- sure telltale will be soon extinguished. If the low pressure and TPMS malfunc- tion indicators are not extinguished af- ter 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.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

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 (1.6
km) 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 pressure. A cold tire means the vehicle has been sitting for 3 hours and driven for less than 1 mile (1.6 km) in that 3 hour period.

CAUTION:

Do not use any tire sealant if your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pres- sure Monitoring System. The liquid sealant can damage the tire pressure sensors. In order for the system to correctly monitor tires for under-inflation, there should be a total of exactly 4
sensors fitted to each of the four driven wheel positions.

There should be no other sensors in the vehicle including spare tire po- sition since this could cause the system to monitor the wrong sen- sors.

WARNING - TPMS

o The TPMS cannot alert you to se- vere 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 position off the road.

WARNING - Protecting TPMS Tampering with, modifying, or dis- abling the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) components may in- terfere with the system's ability to warn the driver of low tire pressure condi- tions and/or TPMS malfunctions.

IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE

D050A02A-AAT If a tire goes flat while you are driving: 1. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal and let the car slow down while driving straight ahead. Do not apply the brakes immediately or attempt to pull off the road as this may cause a loss of control. When the vehicle 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 reverse (manual transaxle).

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

4. Change the tire following the instruc- tions provided on the following pages.

CHANGING A FLAT TIRE

D060A02HP-AAT

D060A01JM The procedure described on the follow- ing pages can be used to rotate tires as well as to change a flat tire. When preparing to change a flat tire, check to be sure the gear selector lever is in "P" (automatic) or reverse gear (manual transaxle) and that the parking brake is set, then:

! WARNING:

Your vehicle is equipped with tires designed to provide for safe ride and handling capability. Do not use a size and type of tire and wheel that is different from the one that is originally installed on your vehicle. It can affect the safety and performance of your vehicle, which could lead to handling failure or rollover and serious injury. When replacing the tires, be sure to equip all four tires with the tire and wheel of the same size, type, tread, brand and load-carrying capacity. If you nevertheless decide to equip your vehicle with any tire/wheel com- bination not recommended by Hyundai for off-road driving, you should not use these tires for high- way driving.

4. Put the Jack in Place

HJM4009
Block the wheel that is diagonally oppo- site from the flat to keep the vehicle from rolling when the vehicle is raised on the jack.

HJM4015
The wheel nuts should be loosened slightly before raising the car. To loosen the nuts, turn the wrench handle coun- terclockwise. When doing this, be sure that the socket is seated completely over the nut so it cannot slip off. For maximum leverage, position the wrench so the handle is to the left as shown in the drawing. Then, while holding the wrench near the end of the handle, push down on it with steady pressure. Do not remove the nuts at this time. Just loosen them about one-half turn.

HJM4010
The base of the jack should be placed on firm, level ground. The jack should be positioned as shown in the drawing.

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

WARNING:

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

! WARNING:

If the vehicle has been driven re- cently, some pieces may be very hot. Use caution.

WARNING:

Wheels and wheel covers may have sharp edges. Handle them carefully to avoid possible severe injury. Be- fore putting the wheel into place, be sure that there is nothing on the hub or wheel (such as mud, tar, gravel, etc.) that interferes with the wheel from fitting solidly against the hub. If there is, remove it. If there is not good contact on the mounting sur- face between the wheel and hub, the wheel nuts could come loose and cause the loss of a wheel. Loss of a wheel may result in loss of control of the vehicle. This may cause serious injury or death.

D060H02O-AAT

7. Reinstall Wheel Nuts

D060H01JM To reinstall the wheel, hold it on the studs, put the wheel nuts on the studs and tighten them finger tight. The nuts should be installed with their small di- ameter ends directed inward. Jiggle the tire to be sure it is completely seated, then tighten the nuts as much as pos- sible with your fingers again.

After Changing Wheels

D060J01JM

If you have a tire gauge, remove the valve cap and check the air pressure. If the pressure is lower than recom- mended, drive slowly to the nearest service station and inflate to the correct pressure. If it is too high, adjust it until it is correct. Always reinstall the valve cap after checking or adjusting tire pressure. If the cap is not replaced, air may leak from the tire. If you lose a valve cap, buy another and install it as soon as possible.

After you have changed wheels, al- ways secure the flat tire in its place and return the jack and tools to their proper storage locations.

IF YOUR VEHICLE MUST BE TOWED D080A01O-GAT If your vehicle has to be towed, it should be done by your Hyundai dealer or a commercial tow truck service. This will help assure that your vehicle is not damaged in towing. Also, profes- sionals are generally aware of local laws gov- erning towing. In any case, rather than risk damage to your car, it is suggested that you show this information to the tow truck operator. Be sure that a safety chain system is used and that all local laws are observed. It is recommended that your vehicle be towed with a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed equipment with all the wheels off the ground.

CAUTION:
