Use Unleaded Gasoline

Unleaded gasoline with a Pump OctaneRating of 87 (Research Octane Number91) or higher must be used in Hyundaivehicle. If leaded gasoline is used, itwill cause the catalytic converter tobecome ineffective and the emissioncontrol system to malfunction.This can also result in increased main-tenance expense. To avoid accidentaluse of leaded fuel, the large nozzleused with leaded gasoline at servicestations can not be inserted into thefuel tank opening of Hyundai vehicle.

NOTE:o For some countries, Hyundai ve-

hicles are designed to use leadedgasoline. When you are going touse leaded gasoline, ask toHyundai dealer whether leadedgasoline in your vehicle is avail-able or not.

o Octane Rating of leaded gaso-line is same with unleaded one.

Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleadedgasoline and 10% ethanol or grainalcohol) may be used in your Hyundai.However, if your engine develops driveability problems, the use of 100% un-leaded gasoline is recommended. Fu-els with unspecified quantities of alco-hol, or alcohols other than ethanol,should not be used.

B010D01S-AAT

Do not Use Methanol

Fuels containing methanol (wood al-cohol) should not be used in yourHyundai. This type of fuel can reducevehicle performance and damage com-ponents of the fuel system.

! CAUTION:Your Hyundai's New Vehicle Lim-ited Warranty may not cover dam-age to the fuel system and perfor-mance problems that are caused bythe use of methanol or fuels con-taining methanol.

B150B01Y-GAT

Infant or Small Child

Some countries require the use ofchild restraint systems for infants andsmall children. Whether this is requiredby law or not, it is strongly recom-mended that a child restraint seat orinfant restraint system be used forinfants or small children weighing lessthan 18 kilograms (40 pounds).

NOTE:Small children are best protected inan accident when properly re-strained by a child restraint sys-tem.

B150C02A-AAT

Larger Children

Children who are too large for childrestraint systems should always oc-cupy the rear seat and use the avail-able lap/shoulder belts. The lap por-tion should be fastened snug on thehips and as low as possible. Checkbelt fit periodically. A child's squirmingcould put the belt out of position. Chil-dren are afforded the most safety inthe event of an accident when they arerestrained by a proper restraint sys-tem in the rear seat. If a larger child(over age 13) must be seated in thefront seat, the child should be securelyrestrained by the available lap/shoul-der belt and the seat should be placedin the rearmost position. Children un-der the age of 13 should be restrainedsecurely in the rear seat. NEVER placea child under the age of 13 in the frontseat. NEVER place a rear facing childseat in the front seat of a vehicle.

B150D01A-AAT

Pregnant Women

The use of a seat belt is recommendedfor pregnant women to lessen thechance of injury in an accident. Whena seat belt is used, the lap belt portionshould be placed as low and snugly aspossible on the hips, not across theabdomen. For specific recommenda-tions, consult a physician.

B150E01A-AAT

Injured Person

A seat belt should be used when aninjured person is being transported.When this is necessary, you shouldconsult a physician for recommenda-tions.

B150F01A-AAT

One Person Per Belt

Two people (including children) shouldnever attempt to use a single seat belt.This could increase the severity ofinjuries in case of an accident.

Do Not Lie Down

To reduce the chance of injuries in theevent of an accident and to achievemaximum effectiveness of the restraintsystem, all passengers should be sit-ting up and the front seats should be inan upright position when the car ismoving. A seat belt cannot operateproperly if the person is lying down inthe rear seat or if the front seat is in areclined position.

The belt forces would be appliedthere, not at your pelvic bones. Thiscould cause serious internal inju-ries. For proper protection when thevehicle is in motion, have theseatback upright. Then sit well backin the seat and wear your seat beltproperly. See page 1-27.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM

B230A03A-GAT

(If Installed)

Children riding in the car should sit inthe rear seat and must always beproperly restrained to minimize therisk of injury in an accident, suddenstop or sudden maneuver. Accordingto accident statistics, children are saferwhen properly restrained in the rearseats than in the front seat. Largerchildren not in a child restraint shoulduse one of the seat belts provided.You are required by law to use safetyrestraints for children. If small childrenride in your vehicle you must put themin a child restraint system (safety seat).Children could be injured or killed in acrash if their restraints are not properlysecured. For small children and ba-bies, a child seat or infant seat must beused. Before buying a particular childrestraint system, make sure it fits yourcar seat and seat belts, and fits yourchild. Follow all the instructions pro-vided by the manufacturer when in-stalling the child restraint system.

WARNING:o A child restraint system must be

placed in the rear seat. Neverinstall a child or infant seat onthe front passenger's seat.Should an accident occur andcause the passenger's front airbagto deploy, it could severely injureor kill an infant or child seated inan infant or child seat. Thus, onlyuse a child restraint in the rearseat of your vehicle.

o A safety belt or child restraintsystem can become very hot if itis left in a closed vehicle on asunny day, even if the outsidetemperature does not feel hot. Besure to check the seat cover andbuckles before placing a childthere.

o When the child restraint systemis not in use, store it in the trunkor fasten it with a safety belt sothat it will not be thrown forwardin the case of a sudden stop or anaccident.

Use the center seat belt for the rear tosecure the child restraint system asillustrated. After installation of thechild restraint system, rock the childseat back and forth, and side to side toensure that it is properly secured bythe seat belt.If the child seat moves, readjust thelength of the seat belt. Then, ifequipped, insert the child restrainttether strap hook into the child re-straint hook holder and tighten to se-cure the seat. Always refer to the childrestraint system manufacturer's rec-ommendation before installing the childrestraint system in your vehicle.

B230F01A-GAT

Installation on Center Rear Seatso Never use an infant carrier or childsafety seat that "hooks" over aseatback; it may not provide ad-equate security in an accident.

o Never allow a child to be held in aperson's arms while they are in amoving vehicle, as this could re-sult in serious injury to the childin the event of an accident or asudden stop. Holding a child in amoving vehicle does not providethe child with any means of pro-tection during an accident, even ifthe person holding the child iswearing a seat belt.

o If the child restraint seat is notanchored properly, the risk of achild being seriously injured orkilled in a collision greatly in-creases.

o Children who are too large to be ina child restraint should sit in therear seat and be restrained withthe available lap/shoulder belts.Never allow children to ride in thefront passenger seat.

o Always make sure that the shoul-der belt portion of the outboardlap/shoulder belt is positionedmidway over the shoulder, neveracross the neck or behind theback. Moving the child closertoward the seat belt buckle mayhelp provide a good shoulderbelt fit. The lap belt portion of thelap/shoulder belt or the centerseat lap belt must always be po-sitioned as low as possible onthe child's hips and as snug aspossible.

o If the seat belt will not properly fitthe child, Hyundai recommendsthe use of an approved boosterseat in the rear seat in order toraise the child's seating heightso that the seat belt will properlyfit the child.

o Never allow a child to stand up orkneel on the seat.

o The driver should sit back as far aspossible while still maintainingcontrol of the vehicle. If you aresitting too close to the airbag, itcan cause death or serious injurywhen it inflates.

o No objects should be placed overor near the airbag modules onthe steering wheel, instrumentpanel, and the front passenger'spanel above the glove box,because any such object couldcause harm if the vehicle is in acrash severe enough to causethe airbags to deploy.

o If the airbags deploy, they mustbe replaced by an authorizedHyundai dealer.

o Do not tamper with or discon-nect SRS wiring, or other com-ponents of the SRS system. Do-ing so could result in injury, dueto accidental firing of the airbagsor by rendering the SRS inopera-tive.

o Do not install a child restraint sys-tem in the front passenger seatposition. A child restraint systemmust never be placed in the frontseat. The infant or child could beseverely injured or killed by anairbag deployment in case of anaccident.

o Do not allow children to ride inthe front passenger seat. If olderchildren (teenagers and older)must ride in the front seat, makesure they are always properlybelted and that the seat is movedback as far as possible.

o For maximum safety protectionin all types of crashes, all occu-pants including the driver shouldalways wear their seat belts tominimize the risk of severe injuryor death in the event of a crash.Do not sit or lean unnecessarilyclose to the airbag while the ve-hicle is in motion.

o The SRS airbag system must de-ploy very rapidly to provide pro-tection in a crash. If an occupantis out of position because of notwearing a seat belt, the airbagmay forcefully contact the occu-pant causing serious or fatal in-juries.

The SRS service reminder indicator(SRI) on the instrument panel will illu-minate for about 6 seconds after theignition key is turned to the "ON" posi-tion or after the engine is started, afterwhich the SRI should go out.

The airbag modules are located both inthe center of the steering wheel and inthe front passenger's panel above theglove box. When the SRSCM detects aconsiderable impact to the front of thevehicle, it will automatically deploy theairbags.

A fully inflated airbag in combinationwith a properly worn seat belt slowsthe driver's or the passenger's forwardmotion, thus reducing the risk of heador chest injury.

After complete inflation, the airbagimmediately starts deflating, enablingthe driver to maintain forward visibility.

- Driver's Front Airbag Module- Passenger's Front Airbag Module- Knee bolster- SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)- SRS Control Module (SRSCM)

The SRSCM continually monitors allelements while the ignition is "ON" todetermine if a frontal or near-frontalimpact is severe enough to requireairbag deployment.

Side Impact Airbag (If Installed)

Your Hyundai is equipped with a sideimpact airbag in each seat. The pur-pose of the airbag is to provide thevehicle's driver and passengers withadditional protection than that offeredby the seat belt alone. The side impactairbags are designed to deploy onlyduring certain side impact collisions,depending on the crash severity, angle,speed and point of impact. The sideimpact airbags are not designed todeploy in all side impact situations,collisions from the front or rear of thevehicle or in most rollover situations.

B990B02LZ

o Even though your vehicle isequipped with the passenger'sairbag ON/OFF switch, do not in-stall a child restraint system in thefront passenger's seat. A child re-straint system must never beplaced in the front seat. Childrenwho are too large for child re-straint systems should alwaysoccupy the rear seat and use theavailable lap/shoulder belts. Chil-dren are afforded the most safetyin the event of an accident whenthey are restrained by a properrestraint system in the rear seat.

o As soon as deactivation is nolonger needed, reactivate thefront passenger's airbag.

o Automotive fuels are flammable/explosive materials. When refuel-ing, please note the followingguidelines carefully. Failure tofollow these guidelines may re-sult in severe personal injury, se-vere burns or death by fire orexplosion.- Before refueling always note the

location of the Emergency Gaso-line Shut-Off, if available, at thegas station facility.

- Before touching the fuel nozzleor fuel filler cap, you shouldeliminate potentially dangerousstatic electricity discharge bytouching another metal part ofthe front of the vehicle, a safedistance away from the fuel fillerneck, nozzle, or other gassource.

- Do not get back into a vehicleonce you have begun refueling.Do not touch, rub or slide againstany item or fabric (polyester,satin, nylon, etc.) capable of pro-ducing static electricity. Staticelectricity discharge can ignitefuel vapors resulting in explo-sion.

If you must re-enter the vehicle,you should once again elimi-nate potentially dangerous staticelectricity discharge by touch-ing a metal part of the vehicle,away from the fuel filler neck,nozzle or other gasoline source.

- When using a portable fuel con-tainer be sure to place the con-tainer on the ground prior torefueling. Static electricity dis-charge from the container canignite fuel vapors causing a fire.Once refueling has begun, con-tact with the vehicle should bemaintained until the filling iscomplete. Use only portable fuelcontainers designed to carry andstore gasoline.

- Do not use cellular phonesaround a gas station or whilerefueling any vehicle. Electriccurrent and/or electronic inter-ference from cellular phones canpotentially ignite fuel vaporscausing a fire. If you must useyour cellular phone use it in aplace away from the gas station.

- When refueling always shut theengine off. Sparks produced byelectrical components related tothe engine can ignite fuel va-pors causing a fire. Always in-sure that the engine is OFF be-fore and during refueling. Oncerefueling is complete, check tomake sure the fuel filler cap anddoor are securely closed, beforestarting the engine.

- Do not light any fire around agas station. DO NOT use matchesor a lighter and DO NOT SMOKEor leave a lit cigarette in yourvehicle while at a gas stationespecially during refueling.Automotive fuel is highly flam-mable and can, when ignited,result in explosion by flames.

- If a fire breaks out during refuel-ing, leave the vicinity of the ve-hicle, and immediately contactthe manager of the gas stationor contact the police and localfire department. Follow anysafety instructions they provide.

Obstructed area Iron bridges

FM broadcasts are transmitted at highfrequencies and do not bend to followthe earth's surface. Because of this,FM broadcasts generally begin to fadeat short distances from the station.Also, FM signals are easily affected bybuildings, mountains, or other obstruc-tions. These can result in certain lis-tening conditions which might lead youto believe a problem exists with yourradio. The following conditions arenormal and do not indicate radio trouble:

AM broadcasts can be received atgreater distances than FM broadcasts.This is because AM radio waves aretransmitted at low frequencies. Theselong, low frequency radio waves canfollow the curvature of the earth ratherthan travelling straight out into theatmosphere. In addition, they curvearound obstructions so that they canprovide better signal coverage.

B750A02A-AAT

How Car Audio Works

AM and FM radio signals are broadcastfrom transmitter towers located aroundyour city. They are intercepted by theradio antenna on your car. This signal isthen received by the radio and sent toyour car speakers.When a strong radio signal has reachedyour vehicle, the precise engineeringof your audio system ensures the bestpossible quality reproduction. Howev-er, in some cases the signal coming toyour vehicle may not be strong andclear. This can be due to factors suchas the distance from the radio station,closeness of other strong radio sta-

tions or the presence of buildings,bridges or other large obstructions inthe area.

Using a cellular phone or a two-way radio

When a cellular phone is used insidethe vehicle, noise may be producedfrom the audio equipment. This doesnot mean that something is wrong withthe audio equipment. In such a case,use the cellular phone at a place as faras possible from the audio equipment.

CAUTION:When using a communication sys-tem such a cellular phone or a radioset inside the vehicle, a separateexternal antenna must be fitted.When a cellular phone or a radio setis used with an internal antennaalone, it may interfere with thevehicle's electrical system and ad-versely affect safe operation of thevehicle.

!B750A04L B750A05L

o Station Swapping - As a FM signalweakens, another more powerfulsignal near the same frequency maybegin to play. This is because yourradio is designed to lock onto theclearest signal. If this occurs, selectanother station with a stronger sig-nal.

o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio sig-nals being received from severaldirections can cause distortion orfluttering. This can be caused by adirect and reflected signal from thesame station, or by signals from twostations with close frequencies. Ifthis occurs, select another stationuntil the condition has passed.

o Fading - As your car moves awayfrom the radio station, the signal willweaken and sound will begin tofade. When this occurs, we suggestthat you select another stronger sta-tion.

o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals orlarge obstructions between thetransmitter and your radio can dis-turb the signal causing static or flut-tering noises to occur. Reducing thetreble level may lessen this effectuntil the disturbance clears.

NOTE:Look at a tape before you insert it.If the tape is loose, tighten it byturning one of the hubs with a pencilor your finger.If the label is peeling off, do not putit in the drive mechanism.Do not leave tapes sitting wherethey are exposed to heat or highhumidity, such as on top of thedashboard or in the player.If a tape is exposed to excessivelyhot or cold, let it reach a moderatetemperature before putting it in theplayer.

o The playback head, capstan andpinch rollers will develop a coating oftape residue that can result in dete-rioration of sound quality, such as awavering sound. They should becleaned monthly using a commer-cially available head cleaning tape orspecial solution available from audiospecialty shops. Follow the supplier'sdirections carefully and never oil anypart of the tape player unit.

o Always be sure that the tape is tightlywound on its reel before inserting inthe player. Rotate a pencil in thedrive sprockets to wind up any slack.Head

o Avoid repeated fast reverse usage toreplay one given tune or tape sec-tion. This can cause poor tape wind-ing to occur, and eventually causeexcessive internal drag and pooraudio quality in the cassette. If thisoccurs, it can sometimes be cor-rected by fast winding the tape fromend to end several times. If this doesnot correct the problem, do not con-tinue to use the tape in your vehicle.

WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!

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 deathby 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 sideof 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 theengine 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 inan open area with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawninto the interior.

If you must drive with the trunk 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 ofthe windshield are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or any other obstructions.

ward gears can be selected. Toreverse or park the vehicle, movethe selector lever to the "R" or "P"position as required.

o In sports mode, downward shiftsare made automatically when thevehicle slows down. When thevehicle stops, 1st gear is auto-matically selected.

o To maintain the required levelsof vehicle performance andsafety, the system may not ex-ecute certain gearshifts when theselector lever is operated.

o Before driving away from a stopon a slippery road, push the se-lector lever forward into the +(UP)position. This causes thetransaxle to shift into 2nd gearwhich is better for smooth driv-ing away on a slippery road. Pushthe selector lever to the -(DOWN)side to shift back to 1st gear.

C090H01L-GAT

NOTE:o For smooth and safe operation,

depress the brake pedal whenshifting from "Neutral" positionor "Park" position to a forward orreverse gear.

o The ignition key must be in the"ON" position and the brake pedalfully depressed in order to movethe shift lever from the "P" (Park)position to any of the other posi-tions.

o It is always possible to shift from"R", "N", or "D" position to "P"position. The vehicle must befully stopped to avoid transaxledamage.

C090I03L-GAT

CAUTION:o Shift into "R" and "P" position

only when the vehicle has com-pletely stopped.

o Do not accelerate the engine inreverse or any of the forwardpositions with the brakes applied.

o Always apply the footbrake whenshifting from "P" or "N", to "R" or"D"position.

o Do not use the "P" (Park) posi-tion in place of the parking brake.Always set the parking brake,shift the transaxle into "P" (Park)position and turn off the ignitionwhen you leave the vehicle, evenmomentarily. Never leave the ve-hicle unattended while the en-gine is running.

o When accelerating from a stopon a steep hill, the vehicle mayhave a tendency to roll back-wards. Shifting the shift lever into2nd gear while in Sport mode willhelp prevent the vehicle fromrolling backwards.

o Do not "ride" the brakes. This cancause them to overheat and mal-function. Instead, when you are driv-ing down a long hill, slow down andshift to a lower gear. When you dothis, engine braking will help slowthe car.

o Slow down before shifting to a lowergear. Otherwise, the lower gear maynot be engaged.

o Always use the parking brake. Donot depend on placing the transaxlein "P" to keep the car from moving.

o Exercise extreme caution when driv-ing on a slippery surface. Be espe-cially careful when braking, acceler-ating or shifting gears. On a slipperysurface, an abrupt change in ve-hicle speed can cause the drivewheels to lose traction and the ve-hicle to go out of control.

C090N03O-AAT

Good Driving Practices

o Never move the gear selector leverfrom "P" or "N" to any other positionwith the accelerator pedal de-pressed.

o Never move the gear selector leverinto "P" when the vehicle is in mo-tion.

o Be sure the car is completely stoppedbefore you attempt to shift into "R".

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

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM(ABS)

C120A01FC-GAT

(If Installed)

The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) isdesigned to prevent wheel lock-upduring sudden braking or on hazard-ous road surfaces. The ABS controlmodule monitors the wheel speed andcontrols the pressure applied to eachbrake. Thus, in emergency situationsor on slick roads, ABS will increasevehicle control during braking.

NOTE:o A click sound may be heard in the

engine compartment when the ve-hicle begins to move after the en-gine is started. These conditionsare normal and indicate that theanti-lock brake system (ElectronicStability Program) is functioningproperly.

o During ABS (ESP) operation, aslight pulsation may be felt in thebrake pedal when the brakes areapplied. Also, a noise may be heardin the engine compartment whilebraking. These conditions are nor-mal and indicate that the anti-lockbrake system (Electronic StabilityProgram System) is functioningproperly.

WARNING:ABS (ESP) will not prevent accidentsdue to improper or dangerous driv-ing maneuvers. Even though vehiclecontrol is improved during emer-gency braking, always maintain asafe distance between you and ob-jects ahead. Vehicle speeds shouldalways be reduced during extremeroad conditions.The braking distance for carsequipped with an anti-lock brakingsystem (Electronic Stability ProgramSystem) may be longer than for thosewithout it in the following road con-ditions. During these conditions thevehicle should be driven at reducedspeeds.

o Rough, gravel or snow-coveredroads.

o With tire chains installed.o On roads where the road surface

is pitted or has different surfaceheight.

The safety features of an ABS (ESP)equipped vehicle should not be testedby high speed driving or cornering.This could endanger the safety ofyourself or others.

WARNING:o Avoid high cornering speeds.o Do not make quick steering wheel

movements, such as sharp lanechanges or fast, sharp turns.

o Always wear your seat belts.In a collision, an unbelted personis significantly more likely to diethan a person wearing a seat belt.

o The risk of rollover is greatly in-creased if you lose control ofyour vehicle at highway speeds.

o Loss of control often occurs iftwo or more wheels drop off theroadway and the driver oversteersto reenter the roadway.

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

o Never exceed posted speed limits.o Excessive depressing of the ac-

celerator pedal in slippery driv-ing conditions such as pullingout of deep snow or mud maycause severe damage to thetransaxle. Rocking the vehicle isnot recommended. Rather, usean appropriate towing method.

ELECTRONIC STABILITYPROGRAM (ESP)

C310A01JM-AAT

(If Installed)ESP checks where you are steeringand where the vehicle is actually go-ing. ESP applies the brakes at indi-vidual wheels and intervenes in theengine management system to stabi-lize the vehicle.

The Electronic Stability Program (ESP)system is an electronic system de-signed to help the driver maintain ve-hicle control under adverse conditions.It is not a substitute for safe drivingpractices. Factors including speed,road conditions and driver steeringinput can all affect whether ESP will beeffective in preventing a loss of con-trol. It is still your responsibility to driveand corner at reasonable speeds andto leave a sufficient margin of safety.

GOOD BRAKINGPRACTICES

C130A01A-AAT

WARNING:Nothing should be carried on top ofthe shelf panel behind the rear seat.If there were an accident or a suddenstop, such objects could move for-ward and cause damage to the ve-hicle or injure the occupants.

o After being parked, check to be surethe parking brake is not engagedand that the parking brake indicatorlight is out before driving away.

o Driving through water may get thebrakes wet. They can also get wetwhen the car is washed. Wet brakesmay can be dangerous! Your carwill not stop as quickly if the brakesare wet. Wet brakes cause the carto pull to one side. To dry the brakes,apply the brakes lightly until thebraking action returns to normal,taking care to keep the car undercontrol at all times. If the brakingaction does not return to normal,stop as soon as it is safe to do soand call your Hyundai dealer forassistance.

o Such objects may not be detectedby the system at very close range(approximately 300 mm).

CAUTION:If you don't hear an audible warningsound or if the buzzer sounds inter-mittently when shifting the gear to"R" position, this indicate a malfunc-tion in the back warning system. Ifthis occurs, have your vehiclechecked your Hyundai dealer as soonas possible.

14 DRIVING FOR ECONOMY

o Don't coast down hills with the carout of gear. This is extremely haz-ardous. Keep the car in gear at alltimes, use the brakes to slow down,then shift to a lower gear so thatengine braking will help you main-tain a safe speed.

o Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Rest-ing your foot on the brake pedalwhile driving can be dangerous be-cause it can result in the brakesoverheating and losing their effec-tiveness.It also increases the wear of thebrake components.

o If a tire goes flat while you aredriving, apply the brakes gently andkeep the car pointed straight aheadwhile you slow down. When you aremoving slowly enough for it to besafe to do so, pull off the road andstop in a safe place.

o If your car is equipped with an auto-matic transaxle, don't let your carcreep forward. To avoid creepingforward, keep your foot on the brakepedal when the car is stopped.

o Use caution when parking on a hill.Engage the parking brake and placethe gear selector lever in "P" (auto-

matic transaxle) or in first or reversegear (manual transaxle). If your caris facing downhill, turn the frontwheels into the curb to help keep thecar from rolling. If your car is facinguphill, turn the front wheels awayfrom the curb to help keep the carfrom rolling. If there is no curb or if itis required by other conditions tokeep the car from rolling, block thewheels.

o Under some conditions your park-ing brake can freeze in the engagedposition. This is most likely to hap-pen when there is an accumulationof snow or ice around or near therear brakes or if the brakes are wet.If there is a risk that the parkingbrake may freeze, apply it only tem-porarily while you put the gear se-lector lever in "P" (automatic) or infirst or reverse gear (manualtransaxle) and block the rear wheelsso the car cannot roll. Then releasethe parking brake.

o Do not hold the vehicle on the up-grade with the accelerator pedal.This can cause the transaxle tooverheat. Always use the brakepedal or parking brake.

C140A01A-AAT

You can save fuel and get more milesfrom your car if you follow these sug-gestions:

o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at amoderate rate. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts or full-throttle shiftsand maintain a steady cruisingspeed. Don't race between stop-lights. Try to adjust your speed tothat of the other traffic so you don'thave to change speeds unneces-sarily. Avoid heavy traffic wheneverpossible. Always maintain a safedistance from other vehicles so youcan avoid unnecessary braking. Thisalso reduces brake wear.

o Drive at a moderate speed. Thefaster you drive, the more fuel yourcar uses. Driving at a moderatespeed, especially on the highway, isone of the most effective ways toreduce fuel consumption.

o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal.This can increase fuel consumptionand also increase wear on thesecomponents. In addition, driving with

o Keep your car clean. For maximumservice, your Hyundai should bekept clean and free of corrosivematerials. It is especially importantthat mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be al-lowed to accumulate on the under-side of the car. This extra weightcan result in increased fuel con-sumption and also contribute to cor-rosion.

o Travel lightly. Don't carry unneces-sary weight in your car. Weight re-duces fuel economy.

o Don't let the engine idle longer thannecessary. If you are waiting (andnot in traffic), turn off your engineand restart only when you're readyto go.

o Remember, your Hyundai does notrequire extended warm-up. As soonas the engine is running smoothly,you can drive away. In very coldweather, however, give your enginea slightly longer warm-up period.

your foot resting on the brake pedalmay cause the brakes to overheat,which reduces their effectivenessand may lead to more serious con-sequences.

o Take care of your tires. Keep theminflated to the recommended pres-sure. Incorrect inflation, either toomuch or too little, results in unnec-essary tire wear. Check the tire pres-sures at least once a month.

o Be sure that the wheels are alignedcorrectly. Improper alignment canresult from hitting curbs or drivingtoo fast over irregular surfaces. Pooralignment causes faster tire wearand may also result in other prob-lems as well as greater fuel con-sumption.

o Keep your car in good condition. Forbetter fuel economy and reducedmaintenance costs, maintain yourcar in accordance with the mainte-nance schedule in Section 5. If youdrive your car in severe conditions,more frequent maintenance is re-quired (see Section 5 for details).

o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine.Lugging is driving too slowly in toohigh a gear resulting in the enginebucking. If this happens, shift to alower gear. Over-revving is racingthe engine beyond its safe limit.This can be avoided by shifting atthe recommended speeds.

o Use your air conditioning sparingly.The air conditioning system is oper-ated by engine power so your fueleconomy is reduced when you useit.

16 SMOOTH CORNERING

C150A01A-AAT

Avoid braking or gear changing in cor-ners, especially when roads are wet.Ideally, corners should always be takenunder gentle acceleration. If you followthese suggestions, tire wear will beheld to a minimum.

WINTER DRIVING

C160A01A-AAT

The more severe weather conditionsof winter result in greater wear andother problems. To minimize the prob-lems of winter driving, you should fol-low these suggestions:

C160B01A-GAT

Snowy or Icy Conditions

To drive your vehicle in deep snow, itmay be necessary to use snow tires orto install tire chains on your tires. Ifsnow tires are needed, it is necessaryto select tires equivalent in size andtype of the original equipment tires.Failure to do so may adversely affectthe safety and handling of your car.Furthermore, speeding, rapid accel-eration, sudden brake applications, andsharp turns are potentially very haz-ardous practices.During deceleration, use engine brak-ing to the fullest extent. Sudden brakeapplications on snowy or icy roadsmay cause skids to occur. You need tokeep sufficient distance between thevehicle in operation in front and your

vehicle. Also, apply the brake gently. Itshould be noted that installing tirechains on the tire will provide a greaterdriving force, but will not prevent sideskids.

NOTE:Tire chains are not legal in all prov-inces. Check province laws beforefitting tire chains.

C160C01A-AAT

Use High Quality Ethylene Gly-col Coolant

Your Hyundai is delivered with highquality ethylene glycol coolant in thecooling system. It is the only type ofcoolant that should be used because ithelps prevent corrosion in the coolingsystem, lubricates the water pump andprevents freezing. Be sure to replaceor replenish your coolant in accor-dance with the maintenance schedulein Section 5. Before winter, have yourcoolant tested to assure that its freez-ing point is sufficient for the tempera-tures anticipated during the winter.

To Keep Locks from Freezing

To keep the locks from freezing, squirtan approved de-icer fluid or glycerineinto the key opening. If a lock is cov-ered with ice, squirt it with an approvedde-icing fluid to remove the ice. If thelock is frozen internally, you may beable to thaw it out by using a heatedkey. Handle the heated key with careto avoid burning your fingers.

NOTE:The proper temperature for usingthe immobilizer key is from -40°C (-40°F) to 80°C (176°F). If you heat theimmobilizer key over 80°C (176°F) toopen the frozen lock, it may causedamage to the transponder in itshead.

C160D01A-AAT

Check Battery and Cables

Winter puts additional burdens on thebattery system. Visually inspect thebattery and cables as described inSection 6. The level of charge in yourbattery can be checked by your Hyundaidealer or a service station.

C160F01A-AAT

Check Spark Plugs and IgnitionSystem

Inspect your spark plugs as describedin Section 6 and replace them if neces-sary. Also check all ignition wiring andcomponents to be sure they are notcracked, worn or damaged in any way.

C160E01A-AAT

Change to "Winter Weight" Oil ifNecessary

In some climates it is recommendedthat a lower viscosity "winter weight"oil be used during cold weather. SeeSection 9 for recommendations. If youaren't sure what weight oil you shoulduse, consult your Hyundai dealer.

C160H01A-AAT

Use Approved Anti-Freeze inWindow Washer System

To keep the water in the window washersystem from freezing, add an approvedanti-freeze solution in accordance withinstructions on the container. Windowwasher anti-freeze is available fromHyundai dealers and most auto partsoutlets. Do not use engine coolant orother types of anti-freeze as thesemay damage the finish.

Don't Let Your Parking BrakeFreeze

Under some conditions your parkingbrake can freeze in the engaged posi-tion. This is most likely to happenwhen there is an accumulation of snowor ice around or near the rear brakes orif the brakes are wet. If there is a riskthe parking brake may freeze, apply itonly temporarily while you put the gearselector lever in "P" (automatic) or infirst or reverse gear (manual transaxle)and block the rear wheels so the carcannot roll. Then release the parkingbrake.

C160J01A-AAT

Don't Let Ice and Snow Accumu-late Underneath

Under some conditions, snow and icecan build up under the fenders andinterfere with the steering. When driv-ing in severe winter conditions wherethis may happen, you should periodi-cally check underneath the car to besure the movement of the front wheelsand the steering components is notobstructed.

C160K01A-AAT

Carry Emergency Equipment

Depending on the severity of theweather where you drive your car, youshould carry appropriate emergencyequipment. Some of the items youmay want to carry include tire chains,tow straps or chains, flashlight, emer-gency flares, sand, a shovel, jumpercables, a window scraper, gloves,ground cloth, coveralls, a blanket, etc.

Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips

1. Before towing, check hitch andsafety chain connections as well asproper operation of the trailer run-ning lights, brake lights, and turnsignals.

2. Always drive your vehicle at a mod-erate speed (Less than 100 km/h).

3. Trailer towing requires more fuelthan normal conditions.

4. To maintain engine braking effi-ciency and electrical charging per-formance, do not use fifth gear(manual transaxle) or overdrive (au-tomatic transaxle).

5. Always secure items in the trailer toprevent load shift while driving.

6. Check the condition and air pres-sure of all tires on the trailer andyour car. Low tire pressure can se-riously affect the handling. Alsocheck the spare tire.

7. The vehicle/trailer combination ismore affected by crosswind andbuffeting. When being passed by alarge vehicle, keep a constant speedand steer straight ahead. If there istoo much wind buffeting, slow downto get out of the other vehicle's airturbulence.

8. When parking your car and trailer,especially on a hill, be sure to followall the normal precautions. Turn yourfront wheel into the curb, set theparking brake firmly, and put thetransaxle in 1st or Reverse (manual)or Park (automatic). In addition,place wheel chocks at each of thetrailer's tires.

9. If the trailer has electric brakes,start your vehicle and trailer mov-ing, and then apply the trailer brakecontroller by hand to be sure thebrakes are working. This lets youcheck your electrical connection atthe same time.

10.During your trip, check occasion-ally to be sure that the load issecure, and that the lights and anytrailer brakes are still working.

11.Avoid jerky starts, sudden accel-eration or sudden stops.

12.Avoid sharp turns and rapid lanechanges.

13.Avoid holding the brake pedal downtoo long or too frequently. This couldcause the brakes to overheat, re-sulting in reduced braking efficiency.

14.When going down a hill, shift into alower gear and use the engine brak-ing effect. When ascending a longgrade, downshift the transaxle to alower gear and reduce speed toreduce chances of engine over-loading and/or overheating.

15.If you have to stop while goinguphill, do not hold the vehicle inplace by pressing on the accelera-tor. This can cause the automatictransaxle to overheat. Use the park-ing brake or foot brake.

NOTE:When towing, check transaxle fluidmore frequently.

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS

(If the air conditioning had been inuse, it is normal for cold water to bedraining from it when you stop).

D030A01TG-AAT

If your temperature gauge indicatesoverheating, you experience a loss ofpower, or hear loud pinging or knock-ing, the engine is probably too hot. Ifthis happens to you, you should:

1. Pull off the road and stop as soon asit is safe to do so.

2. Place the gear selector lever in "P"and set the parking brake. If the airconditioning is on, turn it off.

3. If engine coolant is running out underthe car or steam is coming out fromthe hood, stop the engine. Do notopen the hood until the enginecoolant has stopped running or thesteaming has stopped. If there is novisible loss of coolant and no steam,leave the engine running and checkto be sure the engine cooling fan isoperating. If the fan is not running,turn the engine off.

4. Check to see if the water pump drivebelt is missing. If it is not missing,check to see that it is tight. If thedrive belt seems to be satisfactory,check for engine coolant leaking fromthe radiator, hoses or under the car.

6. Carefully remove the jumper cablesin the reverse order of attachment.

If you do not know why your batterybecame discharged (because the lightswere left on, etc.), have the chargingsystem checked by your Hyundaidealer.

WARNING:While the engine is running, keephands and clothing away from mov-ing parts such as the fan and drivebelts to prevent injury.

5. If the water pump drive belt is brokenor coolant is leaking out, stop theengine immediately and call the near-est Hyundai dealer for assistance.

WARNING:Do not remove the radiator cap whenthe engine is hot. This can allowcoolant to be blown out of the open-ing and cause serious burns.

2 CORROSION PROTECTION

E010A01A-AAT

Protecting Your Hyundai fromCorrosion

By using the most advanced designand construction practices to combatcorrosion, Hyundai produces cars ofthe highest quality, However, this isonly part of the job. To achieve thelong-term corrosion resistance yourHyundai can deliver, the owner's co-operation and assistance is also re-quired.

E010C01A-AAT

High-Corrosion Areas

If you live in an area where your car isregularly exposed to corrosive materi-als, corrosion protection is particularlyimportant. Some of the commoncauses of accelerated corrosion areroad salts, dust control chemicals,ocean air and industrial pollution.

E010B01A-AAT

Common Causes of Corrosion

The most common causes of corro-sion on your car are:

o Road salt, dirt and moisture that isallowed to accumulate underneaththe car.

o Removal of paint or protective coat-ings by stones, gravel, abrasion orminor scrapes and dents which leaveunprotected metal exposed to cor-rosion.

E010D01A-AAT

Moisture Breeds Corrosion

Moisture creates the conditions inwhich corrosion is most likely to occur.For example, corrosion is acceleratedby high humidity, particularly when tem-peratures are just above freezing. Insuch conditions, the corrosive mate-rial is kept in contact with the carsurfaces by moisture that is slow toevaporate.

Mud is particularly corrosive becauseit is slow to dry and holds moisture incontact with the vehicle. Although themud appears to be dry, it can still retainthe moisture and promote corrosion.High temperatures can also acceler-ate corrosion of parts that are notproperly ventilated so the moisturecan be dispersed. For all these rea-sons, it is particularly important to keepyour car clean and free of mud oraccumulations of other materials. Thisapplies not only to the visible surfacesbut particularly to the underside of thecar.

3TO HELP PREVENTCORROSION

E020C01A-AAT

Keep Your Garage Dry

Don't park your car in a damp, poorlyventilated garage. This creates a fa-vorable environment for corrosion. Thisis particularly true if you wash your carin the garage or drive it into the garagewhen it is still wet or covered withsnow, ice or mud. Even a heated ga-rage can contribute to corrosion un-less it is well ventilated so moisture isdispersed.

E020D01A-AAT

Keep Paint and Trim in GoodCondition

Scratches or chips in the finish shouldbe covered with "touch-up" paint assoon as possible to reduce the possi-bility of corrosion. If bare metal is show-ing through, the attention of a qualifiedbody and paint shop is recommended.

E020E01A-AAT

Don't Neglect the Interior

Moisture can collect under the floormats and carpeting to cause corro-sion. Check under the mats periodi-cally to be sure the carpeting is dry.Use particular care if you carry fertiliz-ers, cleaning materials or chemicals inthe car.These should be carried only in propercontainers and any spills or leaksshould be cleaned up, flushed withclean water and thoroughly dried.

E020B01A-AAT

Keep Your Car Clean

The best way to prevent corrosion is tokeep your car clean and free of corro-sive materials. Attention to the under-side of the car is particularly important.

o If you live in a high-corrosion area —where road salts are used, near theocean, areas with industrial pollu-tion, acid rain, etc.—, you shouldtake extra care to prevent corro-sion. In winter, hose off the under-side of your car at least once amonth and be sure to clean theunderside thoroughly when winteris over.

o When cleaning underneath the car,give particular attention to the com-ponents under the fenders and otherareas that are hidden from view. Doa thorough job; just dampening theaccumulated mud rather than wash-

ing it away will accelerate corrosionrather than prevent it. Water underhigh pressure and steam are par-ticularly effective in removing accu-mulated mud and corrosive materi-als.

o When cleaning lower door panels,rocker panels and frame members,be sure that drain holes are keptopen so that moisture can escapeand not be trapped inside to ac-celerate corrosion.

4 WASHING AND WAXING

E030A01A-AAT

Washing Your Hyundai

Never wash your car when the surfaceis hot from being in the sun. Alwayswash your car in the shade.

Wash your car frequently. Dirt is abra-sive and can scratch the paint if it is notremoved. Air pollution or acid rain maydamage the paint and trim throughchemical action if pollutants are al-lowed to remain in contact with thesurface. If you live near the ocean or inan area where road salts or dust con-trol chemicals are used, you shouldpay particular attention to the under-side of the car. Start by rinsing the carto remove dust and loose dirt. In win-ter, or if you have driven through mudor muddy water, be sure to thoroughlyclean the underside as well. Use ahard direct stream of water to removeaccumulations of mud or corrosivematerials. Use a good quality car-wash-ing solution and follow the manufac-turer's directions on the package.These are available at your Hyundaidealer or auto parts outlet. Don't usestrong household detergents, gasoline,

strong solvents or abrasive cleaningpowders as these may damage thefinish.Use a clean sponge or cloth, rinse itfrequently and don't damage the finishby rubbing too hard. For stubborn spots,dampen them frequently and removethem a little at a time.To clean whitewall tires, use a stiffbrush or soapy steel-wool scouringpad.

To clean plastic wheel covers, use aclean sponge or soft cloth and water.

To clean cast aluminum alloy wheels,use a mild soap or neutral detergent.Do not use abrasive cleaners. Protectthe bare-metal surfaces by cleaning,polishing and waxing. Because alumi-num is subject to corrosion, be sure togive aluminum alloy wheels specialattention in winter. If you drive onsalted roads, clean the wheels thor-oughly afterwards.

After washing, be sure to rinse thor-oughly. If soapy water dries on thefinish, streaking will result.

When the weather is warm and thehumidity low, you may find it necessaryto rinse each section immediately afterwashing to avoid streaking.

After rinsing, dry the car using a dampchamois or soft, absorbent cloth. Thereason for drying the car is to removewater from the car so it will dry withoutwater spots. Don't rub, this can dam-age the finish.

If you find any nicks or scratches inthe paint, use touch-up paint to coverthem to prevent corrosion. To protectthe paintwork of the car against corro-sion, you must clean your Hyundai (atleast once a month). Give special at-tention to the removal of salt, mud andother substances on the underside ofthe splashboards of the car. Makesure that the outlets and the undersideof the doors are open. Paint damagecan be caused by small accumulationof tar, industrial precipitation, tree resin,insects and bird droppings, when notremoved immediately. If water alone isnot strong enough to remove the accu-mulated dirt, use a mild car washing

Maintaining Bumpers

Special precautions must be observedto preserve the appearance of thebumpers on your Hyundai. They are:

o Be careful not to spill battery elec-trolyte or hydraulic brake fluid on thebumpers. If you do, wash it offimmediately with clean water.

o Be gentle when cleaning the bumpersurfaces. They are made of softplastic and the surface can be dam-aged if mistreated. Do not use abra-sive cleaners. Use warm water andmild soap or car-washing solution.

o Do not expose the bumpers to hightemperatures. For example, if youhave your car repainted, do notleave the bumpers on the car if thecar is going to be placed in a high-temperature paint booth.

To Clean the Leather Upholstery(If Installed)

In the normal course of use, leatherupholstered surfaces will, like anymaterial, pick-up dust and dirt. Thisdust and dirt must be cleaned off or itmay work into the surface of the leather,causing damage.

Fine leather needs care, and shouldbe cleaned when necessary. Washingleather thoroughly with soap and waterwill keep your leather lustrous, beauti-ful and ensure you have many years ofwear.Take a piece of cheese cloth and usingany mild soap and lukewarm water,work up a good lather. Thoroughlywash the leather. Wipe clean with aslightly damp cloth and dry with softcloth. Do this as often as the leatherbecomes soiled.

During tanning operations, sufficientoils are incorporated through process-ing that none need be applied duringthe life of the leather. Oil applied to thefinished surface will in no way help the

leather and may do more harm thangood. Varnishes and furniture polishesshould never be used under any con-ditions.

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTIONFunction of Engine Oil

Engine oil has the primary function oflubricating and cooling the inside ofthe engine.

Engine oil consumption

It is normal that an engine shouldconsume some engine oil while nor-mal driving. The cause of oil con-sumption in a normal engine are asfollows;

o Engine oil is used to lubricate pis-tons, piston rings and cylinders.A thin film of oil is left on thecylinder wall when a piston movesdownwards in the cylinder. Highnegative pressure generated dur-ing engine operation sucks someof the oil into the combustion cham-ber.This oil with some oil of the cylin-der wall is burned by the high tem-perature combustion gases duringthe combustion process.

o The engine oil consumption isstrongly effected by the viscosityand quality of oil, engine rpm anddriving condition etc. The engineoil is more consumed under severedriving conditions such as highspeeds and frequent accelerationand deceleration than normal driv-ing condition.

CHECKING AND CHANGINGTHE ENGINE COOLANT

G050A01TG-AAT

WARNING:Do not remove the radiator capwhen the engine is hot. When theengine is hot, the engine coolantis under pressure and may eruptthrough the opening if the cap isremoved. You could be seriouslyburned if you do not observe thisprecaution. Do not remove theradiator cap until the radiator iscool to the touch.

NOTE:It is recommended that the enginecoolant should be changed by anauthorized Hyundai dealer.

7 EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS

2 EMISSION CONTROLSYSTEMS

H010A01A-GAT

(If Installed)

Your Hyundai is equipped with anemission control system to meet allrequirements of the Emission prohibi-tion rules of your province.There are three emission control sys-tems which are as follows.

(1) Crankcase emission control sys-tem

(2) Evaporative emission control sys-tem

(3) Exhaust emission control system

In order to assure the proper functionof the emission control systems, it isrecommended that you have your carinspected and maintained by an au-thorized Hyundai dealer in accordancewith the maintenance schedule in thismanual.

H010B01A-AAT

1. Crankcase Emission ControlSystem

The positive crankcase ventilation(PCV) system is employed to preventair pollution caused by blow-by gasesbeing emitted from the crankcase.This system supplies fresh filtered airto the crankcase through the air in-take hose. Inside the crankcase, thefresh air mixes with blow-by gases,which then pass through the PCVvalve into the induction system.

H010C02Y-GAT

2. Evaporative EmissionControl System

The Evaporative Emission ControlSystem is designed to prevent fuelvapors from escaping into the atmo-sphere.

Canister

While the engine is inoperative, fuelvapors generated inside the fuel tankare absorbed and stored in the canis-ter. When the engine is running, thefuel vapors absorbed in the canisterare drawn into the induction systemthrough the purge control solenoidvalve.

Purge Control Solenoid Valve

The purge control solenoid valve iscontrolled by the ECM (Engine ControlModule); when the engine coolant tem-perature is low, and during idling, itcloses, so that evaporated fuel is nottaken into the surge tank. After enginewarm-up, during ordinary driving, itopens so as to introduce evaporatedfuel to the surge tank.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER

H020A01A-AAT

All Hyundai vehicles are equippedwith a monolith type three-way cata-lytic converter to reduce the carbonmonoxide, hydrocarbons and nitro-gen oxides contained in the exhaustgas. Exhaust gases passing throughthe catalytic converter cause it tooperate at a very high temperature.The introduction of large amounts ofunburned gasoline into the exhaustmay cause the catalytic converter tooverheat and create a fire hazard.This risk may be reduced by observ-ing the following:

Catalytic Converter

H010D01A-AAT

3. Exhaust Emission ControlSystem

The Exhaust Emission Control Sys-tem is a highly effective system whichcontrols exhaust emissions whilemaintaining good vehicle performance.

WARNING:o Use unleaded fuel only.o Maintain the engine in good

operating condition. Extremelyhigh catalytic converter tempera-tures can result from improperoperation of the electrical, igni-tion or multiport electronic fuelinjection.

o If your engine stalls, pings,knocks, or is hard to start, haveyour Hyundai dealer inspect andrepair the problem as soon aspossible.

o Avoid driving with a very lowfuel level. Running out of gaso-line may cause the engine tomisfire and result in damage tothe catalytic converter.

o Avoid idling the engine for peri-ods longer than 10 minutes.

o The vehicle should not bepushed or pulled to get started.This may cause the catalyticconverter to overheat and cre-ate a fire hazard.

o Do not touch the catalytic con-verter or any other part of theexhaust system while the cata-lytic converter is hot. Shut offthe engine, wait for at least onehour before touching the cata-lytic converter or any other partof the exhaust system.

o Remember that your Hyundaidealer is your best source ofassistance.

o Do not stop your Hyundai overany combustible material suchas grass, paper, leaves or rags.These materials might contactthe hot catalytic converter and afire might result.

CAUTION:Always observe the following:o Check pressures when the tires

are cold. That is, after the carhas been parked for at least threehours and hasn't been drivenmore than 1.6 km or one milesince starting up.

o Check the pressure of your sparetire each time you check thepressure of other tires.

These pressures were chosen to pro-vide the most satisfactory combina-tion of ride comfort, tire wear andstability under normal conditions.Tire pressures should be checked atleast monthly. Proper tire inflationpressures should be maintained forthese reasons:

o Lower-than-recommended tirepressures cause uneven tread wearand poor handling.

o Higher-than-recommended tirepressures increase the chance ofdamage from impacts and causeuneven tread wear.

!I040A02S-GAT

SNOW TIRES

If you equip your car with snow tires,they should be the same size andhave the same load capacity as theoriginal tires. Snow tires should beinstalled on all four wheels; other-wise, poor handling may result.Snow tires should carry 28 kPa (4psi) more air pressure than the pres-sure recommended for the standardtires on the tire label on the driver'sside of the center pillar outer panel, orup to the maximum pressure shownon the tire sidewall, whichever is less.Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75mph) when your car is equipped withsnow tires.

TIRE ROTATION

Tires should be rotated every 10,000km (6,000 miles). If you notice thattires are wearing unevenly betweenrotations, have the car checked by aHyundai dealer so the cause may becorrected.After rotating, adjust the tire pres-sures and be sure to check wheel nuttightness.

I050A01TG-GAT

TIRE CHAINS

Tire chains should be installed on thefront wheels. Be sure that the chainsare the proper size and that they areinstalled in accordance with themanufacturer's instructions.To minimize tire and chain wear, donot continue to use tire chains whenthey are no longer needed.

WARNING:o When driving on roads covered

with snow or ice, drive at lessthan 30 km/h (20 mph).

o Use the SAE "S" class or wirechains.

o Don't use a tire chains to thevehicle which aluminium wheelsare installed to keep the wheels.If it is on unavoidable circum-stances, use a wire chains.

o Use wire chains less than 15mmto prevent damage to the chain'sconnection.

o If you have noise caused bychains contacting the body, re-tighten the chain to avoid contactwith the vehicle body.

o To prevent body damage, re-tighten the chains after driving0.5 ~ 1 km.

TIRE BALANCING

A tire that is out of balance may affecthandling and tire wear. The tires onyour Hyundai were balanced beforethe car was delivered but may needbalancing again during the years youown the car.Whenever a tire is dismounted forrepair, it should be rebalanced beforebeing reinstalled on the car.

I080A01A-AAT

TIRE TRACTION

Tire traction can be reduced if youdrive on worn tires, tires that areimproperly inflated or on slippery roadsurfaces. Tires should be replacedwhen tread wear indicators appear.To reduce the possibility of losingcontrol, slow down whenever there israin, snow or ice on the road.

I090A01Y-GAT

WHEN TO REPLACE TIRES

The original tires on your car havetread wear indicators. The tread wearindicators appear when the treaddepth is 1.6 mm (0.06 in.). The tireshould be replaced when these ap-pear as a solid bar across two ormore grooves of the tread. Alwaysreplace your tires with those of therecommended size. If you changewheels, the new wheel's rim widthand offset must meet Hyundai speci-fications.
