WARNING:Every person in your vehicle needs to bebuckled up at all times, including infants andchildren. In a collision, an unrestrained childcan become a "missile" inside the car. Theforce required to hold a child on your lapcould be so great that you could not hold thechild. Any child riding in the vehicle shouldalways be in a proper restraint.

NOTE:Small children are best protected from injuryin an accident when properly restrained in therear seat by a child restraint system thatmeets the requirements of the Federal MotorVehicle Safety Standards. Before buying anychild restraint system, make sure that it has alabel certifying that it meets Motor VehicleSafety Standard 213. The restraint must beappropriate for your child's height and weight.Check the label on the child restraint for thisinformation. See page 1-19.

Injured Person

A seat belt should be used when an injuredperson is being transported. When this is nec-essary, you should consult a physician for rec-ommendations.

B150F01A-AAT

One Person Per Belt

Two people (including children) should neverattempt to use a single seat belt. This couldincrease the severity of injuries in case of anaccident.

B150G01A-AAT

Do Not Lie Down

To reduce the chance of injuries in the event ofan accident, and to achieve maximum effective-ness of the restraint system, all passengersshould be sitting up and the front seats shouldbe in an upright position when the car is moving.A seat belt cannot provide proper protection ifthe person is lying down in the rear seat or if thefront seat is in a reclined position.

WARNING:Sitting in a reclined position or lying downwhen your vehicle is in motion can be danger-ous. Even if you buckle up, your seat beltscan't do their job when you're reclined. Theshoulder belt can't do its job because it won'tbe against your body. Instead, it will be infront of you. In a crash you could go into itwith great force, receiving serious neck orother injuries. The lap belt can't do its jobeither. In a crash the belt could go up overyour abdomen. The belt forces would be there,not at your strong pelvic bones. This couldcause serious internal injuries.For proper protection when the vehicle is inmotion, have the seatback upright. Then sitback in the seat and wear your seat beltproperly. See Page 1-16.

This type of seat belt combines the featuresof both an emergency locking retractor seatbelt and an automatic locking retractor seatbelt. To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of theretractor and insert the metal tab into thebuckle. There will be an audible "click" whenthe tab locks into the buckle. When not secur-ing a child restraint, the seat belt operates inthe same way as the driver's seat belt (Emer-gency Locking Retractor Type). It automati-cally adjusts to the proper length only after thelap belt portion of the seatbelt is adjusted manually so that it fits snuglyaround your hips. When the seat belt is fullyextended from the retractor to allow the installa-tion of a child restraint system, the seat beltoperation changes to allow the belt to retract,but not to extend (Automatic Locking RetractorType). See page 1-24.

NOTE:Although the combination retractor providesthe same level of protection for seated pas-sengers in either emergency or automaticlocking modes, it is recommended that seatedpassengers use the emergency locking fea-ture for improved convenience. The auto-matic locking function is intended to facilitatechild restraint installation. To convert fromthe automatic locking feature to the emer-gency locking operation mode, allow the un-buckled seat belt to fully retract.

To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the retrac-tor and insert the metal tab into the buckle.There will be an audible "click" when the tablocks into the buckle.The seat belt automatically adjusts to the properlength only after the lap belt is adjusted manual-ly so that it fits snugly around your hips. If youlean forward in a slow, easy motion, the belt willextend and let you move around. If there is asudden stop or impact, however, the belt willlock into position. It will also lock if you try tolean forward too quickly.

NOTE:If the driver's seat belt is not fastened whenthe ignition key is in the "ON" position, theseat belt warning light will flash and the warn-ing chime will sound for approximately sixseconds.

WARNING:o For maximum restraint system protec-

tion, seat belts must always be used when-ever the car is moving.

o Seat belts are most effective whenseatbacks are in the upright position.

o Children must always be seatbelted inthe rear seats. Never allow children toride in the front passenger seat.

o The shoulder belt should be positionedmidway over the shoulder nearest thedoor for the most effective protection.Never wear the seat belt under the armnearest the door. Wearing the belt underthe arm nearest the door could causeserious or fatal injuries in an accident.

o Avoid wearing twisted seat belts. A twist-ed belt can't do its job as well. In a colli-sion, it could even cut into you. Be surethe belt is straight and not twisted.

o Be careful not to damage the belt web-bing or hardware. If the belt webbing orhardware is damaged, replace it.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM

Children riding in the car should sit in the rearseat and must always be properly restrained tominimize the risk of injury in an accident, sud-den stop or sudden maneuver. According toaccident statistics provided by the National High-way Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),children are safer when properly restrained inthe rear seats than in the front seat. Largerchildren not in a child restraint should use oneof the seat belts provided.All 50 states have child restraint laws. Youshould be aware of the specific requirements inyour state. Child and/or infant safety seats mustbe properly placed and installed in the rear seat .You must use a commercially available childrestraint system that meets the requirements ofthe Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards(FMVSS).Children could be injured or killed in a crash iftheir restraints are not properly secured. Forsmall children and babies, a child seat or infantseat must be used. Before buying a particularchild restraint system, make sure it fits your carseat and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow allthe instructions provided by the manufacturerwhen installing the child restraint system.


!WARNING:o Always make sure that the shoulder

belt portion of the outboard lap/shoul-der belt is positioned midway over theshoulder, never across the neck or be-hind the back. Moving the child closerto the center of the vehicle may helpprovide a good shoulder belt fit. Thelap belt portion of the lap/shoulder beltor the center seat lap belt must alwaysbe positioned as low as possible on thechild's hips and as snug as possible.

o If the seat belt will not properly fit thechild, Hyundai recommends the use ofan approved booster seat in the rearseat in order to raise the child's seatingheight so that the seat belt will properlyfit the child. Before purchasing abooster seat, make sure that it meetsapplicable Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandards (FMVSS) and that it is satis-factory for use with this vehicle.

o Never allow a child to stand up or kneelon the seat.

o Never use an infant carrier or child safetyseat that "hooks" over a seatback; it maynot provide adequate security in an acci-dent.

WARNING:o A child restraint system must be placed

in the rear seat. Never install a child orinfant seat on the front passenger's seat.Should an accident occur and cause thepassenger side airbag to deploy, it couldseverely injure or kill an infant or childseated in an infant or child seat. Thus,only use a child restraint in the rear seatof your vehicle.

o Since a safety belt or child restraint sys-tem can become very hot if it is left in aclosed vehicle, be sure to check the seatcover and buckles before placing a childthere.

o When the child restraint system is not inuse, store it in the trunk or fasten it witha safety belt so that it will not be thrownforward in the case of a sudden stop oran accident.

o Children who are too large to be in a childrestraint should still sit in the rear seatand be restrained with the available lap/shoulder belts. Never allow children toride in the front passenger seat.

! WARNING:o Never allow a child to be held in a

person's arms while they are in a mov-ing vehicle, as this could result in seri-ous injury to the child in the event of anaccident or a sudden stop. Holding achild in a moving vehicle does not pro-vide the child with any means of protec-tion during an accident, even if the per-son holding the child is wearing a seatbelt.

WARNING:o Do not install a child restraint seat at

the center of the rear seat using thevehicle's ISOFIX anchors. The ISOFIXanchors are only provided for the leftand right outboard rear seating posi-tions. Do not misuse the ISOFIX an-chors by attempting to attach a childrestraint seat improperly in the middleof the reat seat position to the ISOFIXanchors. In a crash, the child seat ISOFIXattachments may not be strong enoughto secure the child restraint seat prop-erly in the center of the rear seat andmay break, causing serious injury ordeath.

o Do not mount more than one childrestraint to a single tether or to a childrestraint lower anchorage point. The im-proper increased load may cause the an-chorage points or tether anchor to break,causing serious injury or death.

o Attach the ISOFIX or ISOFIX-compatiblechild seat only to the appropriate loca-tions shown.

o Always follow the installation and useinstructions provided by the manufac-turer of the child restraint.

WARNING:If the child restraint seat is not anchoredproperly, the risk of a child being seriouslyinjured or killed in a collision greatly increases.

B230D03A-1


After installation of the child restraint system, tryto move it in all directions to be sure the childrestraint system is securely installed. If youneed to tighten the belt, pull more webbingtoward the retractor. When you unbuckle theseat belt and allow it to retract, the retractor willautomatically revert back to its normal seatedpassenger emergency locking usage condition.

NOTE:o Before installing the child restraint sys-

tem, read the instructions supplied by thechild restraint system manufacturer.

o If the seat belt does not operate as de-scribed, have the system checked imme-diately by your authorized Hyundai dealer.

WARNING:o If the retractor is not in the Automatic

Locking mode, the child restraint systemcan move when your vehicle turns orstops abruptly.

o Do not install any child restraint systemin the front passenger seat. Should anaccident occur and cause the passengerside airbag to deploy, it could severelyinjure or kill an infant or child seated in aninfant or child seat. Therefore, only use achild restraint system in the rear seat ofyour vehicle.

!To install a child restraint system in the outboardrear seats, extend the shoulder/lap belt entirelyfrom its retractor until a "click" is felt. This willengage the seat belt retractor automatic lockingfeature, which allows the seat belt to retract butnot extend. Install the child restraint system,buckle the seat belt and allow the seat belt totake up any slack. Make sure that the lap portionof the belt is tight around the child restraintsystem and the shoulder portion of the belt ispositioned so that it cannot interfere with thechild's head or neck. Also, double check to besure that the retractor has engaged the auto-matic locking feature by trying to extend web-bing out of the retractor. If the retractor is in theautomatic locking mode, the belt will be locked.

Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt

Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with driver'sand front passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts.The purpose of the pre-tensioner is to makesure that the seat belts fit tightly against theoccupant's body in certain frontal collisions. Thepre-tensioner seat belts can be activated aloneor, where the frontal collision is severe enough,together with the airbags.

The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in asimilar way as an Emergency Locking Retrac-tor (ELR) type of seat belt. When the vehiclestops suddenly, or if the occupant tries to leanforward too quickly, the seat belt retractor willlock into position. However, in certain frontalcollisions, the pre-tensioner will activate andpull the seat belt into tighter contact against theoccupant's body.

DUAL-STAGE SUPPLEMENTALRESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM (SRS)

Your Hyundai is equipped with a Dual-stageSupplemental Restraint (Airbag) System. Theindications of the system's presence are theletters "SRS AIRBAG" embossed on the airbagpad cover in the steering wheel and thepassenger's side front panel pad above theglove box.

The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installedunder the pad covers in the center of the steer-ing wheel and the passenger's side front panelabove the glove box. The purpose of the SRS isto provide the vehicle's driver and/or the frontpassenger with additional protection than thatoffered by the seat-belt system alone, in case ofa frontal impact of sufficient severity.

B240A03A

Driver's Airbag

WARNING:o Pre-tensioners are designed to operate

only one time. After activation, pre-tensioner seat belts must be replaced. Allseat belts, of any type, should always bereplaced after they have been worn dur-ing a collision.

o The pre-tensioner seat belt assemblymechanisms become hot during activa-tion. Do not touch the pre-tensioner seatbelt assemblies for several minutes afterthey have been activated.

o Do not attempt to inspect or replace thepre-tensioner seat belts yourself. Thismust be done by an authorized Hyundaidealer.

o Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat beltassemblies.

o Do not attempt to service or repair thepre-tensioner seat belt system in anymanner.

o Improper handling of the pre-tensionerseat belt assemblies, and failure to heedthe warnings to not strike, modify, in-spect, replace, service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies may leadto improper operation or inadvertent acti-vation and serious injury.

o Always wear the seat belts when drivingor riding in a motor vehicle.

!CAUTION:o Because the sensor that activates the

SRS airbag is connected with the pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRS airbag warn-ing light on the instrument panel willblink for approximately 6 seconds afterthe ignition key has been turned to the"ON" position, and then it should turn off.

o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not work-ing properly, this warning light will illumi-nate even if there is no malfunction of theSRS airbag system.If the SRS airbag warning light does notilluminate when the ignition key is turnedto "ON", or if it remains illuminated afterblinking for approximately 6 seconds, orif it illuminates while the vehicle is beingdriven, please have an authorized Hyundaidealer inspect the pre-tensioner seat beltor SRS airbag system as soon as pos-sible.

!


o Front airbags are not intended to de-ploy in side-impact, rear-impact orrollover crashes. In addition, airbagswill not deploy in frontal crashes belowthe deployment threshold speed.

o The driver should sit back as far aspossible while still maintaining controlof the vehicle. If you are sitting tooclose to the airbag, it can cause deathor serious injury when it inflates.

!The dual-stage SRS uses a collection of sen-sors to gather information about the driver'sand front passenger's seat position, thedriver's and front passenger's seat belt usageand impact severity.The driver's and front passenger's seat posi-tion sensors determine if the seats are fore oraft of a reference position. Similarly, the seatbelt usage sensors determine if the driver andfront passenger's seat belts are fastened.These sensors provide the ability to controlthe SRS deployment's pressure based on howclose the driver's seat is to the steering wheel,how close the passenger's seat is to theinstrument panel and whether or not the seatbelts are fastened.

The dual-stage airbags offer the ability to controlthe airbag inflation with two pressure levels. Alower pressure level is provided for moderate-severity impacts. A higher-pressure level is pro-vided for more severe impacts.

NOTE:o Be sure to read information about the

SRS on the labels provided on the back-side of the sun visor and in the glove box.

o Dual-stage inflating airbags are combinedwith pre-tensioner seat belts to help pro-vided enhanced occupant protection infrontal crashes. Front airbags are not in-tended to deploy in light collisions inwhich protection can be provided by thepre-tensioner seat belt.

WARNING:o As its name implies, the SRS is de-

signed to work with, and be supple-mental to, the driver's and thepassenger's three point seat belt sys-tems and is not a substitute for them.Therefore, your seat belts must be wornat all times while the vehicle is in mo-tion. The airbags deploy only in certainfrontal impact conditions severeenough to cause significant injury tothe vehicle occupants.

o The SRS is designed to deploy theairbags only when an impact is suffi-ciently severe and when the impactangle is less than 30° from the forwardlongitudinal axis of the vehicle and willnot deploy in side, rear or rollover im-pacts. Additionally, the airbags will onlydeploy once. Thus, seat belts must beworn at all times.

! WARNING:


B240B03A-AAT

SRS Components and Functions

The SRS consists of the following compo-nents:

- Driver's Airbag Module- Passenger's Airbag Module- Knee Bolster- Pre-tensioner seat belt- Front impact sensors- Driver's and front passenger's seat belt usage

sensors- Driver's and front passenger's seat position

sensors- SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)- SRS Control Module (SRSCM)

The SRSCM continually monitors all elementswhile the ignition is "ON" to determine if a frontalor near-frontal impact is severe enough to re-quire airbag deployment.

B240B01L

WARNING:o No objects should be placed over or

near the airbag modules on the steer-ing wheel, instrument panel, and thefront passenger's panel above the glovebox, because any such object couldcause harm if the vehicle is in a crashsevere enough to cause the airbags todeploy.

o If the airbags deploy, they must bereplaced by an authorized Hyundaidealer.

o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRSwiring, or other components of the SRSsystem. Doing so could result in injury,due to accidental firing of the airbagsor by rendering the SRS inoperative.

o Do not install a child restraint system inthe front passenger seat position. Achild restraint system must never beplaced in the front seat. The infant orchild could be severely injured or killedby an airbag deployment in case of anaccident.

o Do not allow children to ride in the frontpassenger seat. If older children (teen-agers and older) must ride in the frontseat, make sure they are always prop-erly belted and that the seat is movedback as far as possible.

WARNING:o For maximum safety protection in all

types of crashes, all occupants includ-ing the driver should always wear theirseat belts whether or not an airbag isalso provided at their seating positionto minimize the risk of severe injury ordeath in the event of a crash. Do not sitor lean unnecessarily close to the airbagwhile the vehicle is in motion.

o The SRS airbag system must deployvery rapidly to provide protection in acrash. If an occupant is out of positionbecause of not wearing a seat belt, theairbag may forcefully contact the occu-pant causing serious or fatal injuries.

! !


The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) onthe instrument panel will blink for about 6seconds after the ignition key is turned to the"ON" position or after the engine is started,after which the SRI should go out.The airbag modules are located both in thecenter of the steering wheel and in the frontpassenger's panel above the glove box. Whenthe SRSCM detects a considerable impact tothe front of the vehicle, it will automaticallydeploy the airbags.

A fully inflated airbag in combination with aproperly worn seat belt slows the driver's orthe passenger's forward motion, thus reduc-ing the risk of head and chest injury.

After complete inflation, the airbag immediatelystarts deflating, enabling the driver to maintainforward visibility.

B240B02L

Upon deployment, tear seams molded directlyinto the pad covers will separate under pres-sure from the expansion of the airbags. Fur-ther opening of the covers then allows fullinflation of the airbags.

B240B03L

CAUTION:When installing a container of liquid airfreshener inside the vehicle, do not place itnear the instrument cluster nor on the in-strument panel surface. If there is any leak-age from the air freshener onto these areas(instrument cluster, instrument panel or airventilator), it may damage these parts. If theliquid from the air freshener does leak ontothese areas, wash them with water immedi-ately.

Side Impact Airbag (If Installed)

Your Hyundai is equipped with a side impactairbag in each front seat. The purpose of theairbag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/orthe front passenger with additional protectionthan that offered by the seat belt alone. The sideimpact airbags are designed to deploy onlyduring certain side impact collisions, dependingon the crash severity, angle, speed and point ofimpact. The side impact airbags are not de-signed to deploy in all side impact situations.

B990B02Y

WARNING:o When the SRS is activated, there may

be a loud noise and fine dust will bereleased throughout the vehicle. Theseconditions are normal and are not haz-ardous. However, the fine dust gener-ated during airbag deployment maycause skin irritation. Wash your handsand face thoroughly with lukewarm wa-ter and a mild soap after an accident inwhich the airbags were deployed.

Passenger's Airbag

B240B05L

WARNING:o The SRS can function only when the

ignition key is in the "ON" position. Ifthe SRS SRI does not come on, orcontinuously remains on, after flash-ing for about 6 seconds when the igni-tion key is turned to the "ON" position,or after the engine is started, comes onwhile driving, the SRS is not workingproperly. If this occurs, have your vehi-cle immediately inspected by yourHyundai dealer.

o Before you replace a fuse or discon-nect a battery terminal, turn the igni-tion key to the "LOCK" position orremove the ignition key. Never removeor replace the air bag related fuse(s)when the ignition key is in the "ON"position. Failure to heed this warningwill cause the SRS SRI to illuminate.


! WARNING:o For best protection from the side im-

pact airbag system and to avoid beinginjured by the deploying side impactairbag, both front seat occupantsshould sit in an upright position withthe seat belt properly fastened.

FM broadcasts are transmitted at high fre-quencies and do not bend to follow the earth'ssurface. Because of this, FM broadcasts gen-erally begin to fade at short distances from thestation. Also, FM signals are easily affected bybuildings, mountains, or other obstructions.These can result in certain listening conditionswhich might lead you to believe a problemexists with your radio. The following conditionsare normal and do not indicate radio trouble:

AM broadcasts can be received at greater dis-tances than FM broadcasts. This is becauseAM radio waves are transmitted at low fre-quencies. These long, low frequency radiowaves can follow the curvature of the earthrather than travelling straight out into the atmo-sphere. In addition, they curve around ob-structions so that they can provide bettersignal coverage.

B750A02A-AAT

STEREO SOUND SYSTEMHow Car Audio Works

AM and FM radio signals are broadcast fromtransmitter towers located around your city. Theyare intercepted by the radio antenna on yourcar. This signal is then received by the radio andsent to your car speakers.When a strong radio signal has reached yourvehicle, the precise engineering of your audiosystem ensures high quality reproduction. How-ever, in some cases the signal coming to yourvehicle may not be strong and clear. This canbe due to factors such as the distance fromthe radio station, closeness of other strongradio stations or the presence of buildings,bridges or other large obstructions in the area.

o Station Swapping - As an FM signal weak-ens, another more powerful signal near thesame frequency may begin to play. This isbecause your radio is designed to lock ontothe clearest signal. If this occurs, selectanother station with a stronger signal.

o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals be-ing received from several directions cancause distortion or fluttering. This can becaused by a direct and reflected signalfrom the same station, or by signals fromtwo stations with close frequencies. If thisoccurs, select another station until the con-dition has passed.

B750B02Y-AAT

Using a cellular phone or a two-wayradio

When a cellular phone is used inside the vehi-cle, noise may be produced from the audioequipment. This does not mean that somethingis wrong with the audio equipment. In such acase, use the cellular phone at a place as far aspossible from the audio equipment.

o Fading - As your car moves away from theradio station, the signal will weaken andsound will begin to fade. When this occurs,we suggest that you select another strongerstation.

o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or largeobstructions between the transmitter and yourradio can disturb the signal causing static orfluttering noises to occur. Reducing the tre-ble level may lessen this effect until thedisturbance clears.

B750A04L B750A05LCAUTION:

When using a communication system such acellular phone or a radio set inside the ve-hicle, a separate external antenna must befitted. When a cellular phone or a radio set isused with an internal antenna alone, it mayinterfere with the vehicle's electrical systemand adversely affect safe operation of thevehicle.

WARNING:Don't use a cellular phone when you are driv-ing, you must stop at a safe place to use acellular phone.

Care of Cassette Tapes

B860A01L

Proper care of your cassette tapes will extendthe tape life and increase your listening enjoy-ment. Always protect your tapes and cassettecases from direct sunlight, severely cold anddusty conditions. When not in use, cassettesshould always be stored in the protective cas-sette case in which they were originally sup-plied. When the vehicle is very hot or cold, allowthe interior temperature to become more com-fortable before listening to your cassettes.


o Store cassettes in a cool, dry place with theopen side facing down to prevent dust fromsettling in the cassette body.

o Avoid repeated fast reverse usage to re-play one given tune or tape section. Thiscan cause poor tape winding to occur, andeventually cause excessive internal dragand poor audio quality in the cassette. Ifthis occurs, it can sometimes be correctedby fast winding the tape from end to endseveral times. If this does not correct theproblem, do not continue to use the tape inyour vehicle.

cialty shops. Follow the supplier's direc-tions carefully and never oil any part of thetape player unit.

o Always be sure that the tape is tightlywound on its reel before inserting in theplayer. Rotate a pencil in the drive sprock-ets to wind up any slack.

NOTE:Look at a tape before you insert it. If the tapeis loose, tighten it by turning one of the hubswith a pencil or your finger. If the label ispeeling off, do not put it in the player. It maycause the tape to jam in the drive mechanismwhen you try to eject it.Do not leave tape sitting where they are ex-posed to high temperatures or, high humidity,such as on top of the dashboard or in theplayer. If a tape is excessively hot or cold, letit reach a moderate temperature beforeputting it in the player.

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 windowsimmediately.

o Do not inhale exhaust fumes.Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation.

o Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If you hear achange in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the car, have the exhaustsystem checked as soon as possible by your Hyundai dealer.

o Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the engine in your garageany longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out.

o Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car.If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an open area withthe air intake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior.

If you must drive with the trunk lid / tail gate open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary:

1. Close all windows.2. Open side vents.3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds.

To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the windshield arekept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.

C070A02A-AAT

OPERATING THE MANUALTRANSAXLE

Your Hyundai's manual transaxle has a conven-tional shift pattern. This shift pattern is alsoimprinted on the shift knob. The transaxle is fullysynchronized in all forward gears so shifting toeither a higher or a lower gear is easily accom-plished.

C070A01A

NOTE:o To shift into reverse, rest the lever in

neutral for at least 3 seconds after yourcar is completely stopped. Then move thelever into the reverse position.

o During cold weather, shifting may be dif-ficult until the transaxle lubricant haswarmed up. This is normal and not harm-ful to the transaxle.

o If you've come to a complete stop and it'shard to shift into 1 st or R(Reverse), putthe shift lever in N(Neutral) position andrelease the clutch. Press the clutch pedalback down, and then shift into 1 st orR(Reverse) gear position.

o Do not use the shift lever as a handrestduring driving, as this can result in pre-mature wear of the transaxle shift forks.

CAUTION:When downshifting from fifth gear tofourth gear, caution should be taken notto inadvertently press the gear shift leversideways in such a manner that secondgear is engaged. Such a drastic downshiftmay cause the engine speed to increase tothe point that the tachometer will enter thered zone. Such over revving of the enginemay possibly cause engine damage.

!


WARNING:o The risk of rollover is greatly increased if

you lose control of your vehicle at high-way speeds.

o Loss of control often occurs if two ormore wheels drop off the roadway andthe driver oversteers to reenter the road-way.

o In the event your vehicle leaves the road-way, do not steer sharply. Instead, slowdown before pulling back into the travellanes.

o In a collision crash, an unbelted person issignificantly more likely to die than aperson wearing a seatbelt.

The shift points as shown above are recom-mended for optimum fuel economy and perform-ance.

C070E03A-AAT

RECOMMENDED SHIFT POINTS

C070D02A-AAT

Good Driving Practices

o Never take the car out of gear and coastdown a hill. This is extremely hazardous.Always leave the car in gear.

o Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause themto overheat and malfunction. Instead, whenyou are driving down a long hill, slow downand shift to a lower gear. When you do this,engine braking will help slow the car.

o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear.This will help avoid over-revving the engine,which can cause damage.

o Slow down when you encounter cross winds.This gives you much better control of yourcar.

o Be sure the car is completely stopped beforeyou attempt to shift into reverse. The transaxlecan be damaged if you do not. To shift intoreverse, depress the clutch, move the shiftlever to neutral, wait three seconds, thenshift to the reverse position.

o Exercise extreme caution when driving on aslippery surface. Be especially careful whenbraking, accelerating or shifting gears. On aslippery surface, an abrupt change in vehiclespeed can cause the drive wheels to losetraction and the vehicle to go out of control.

C070B01A-AAT

Using the Clutch

The clutch should be pressed all the way to thefloor before shifting, then released slowly. Donot rest your foot on the clutch pedal whiledriving. This can cause unnecessary wear.Do not partially engage the clutch to hold the caron an incline. This causes unnecessary wear.Use the parking brake to hold the car on anincline. Do not operate the clutch pedal rapidlyand repeatedly.

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE

The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transaxlehas four forward speeds and one reverse speed.It has a conventional shift pattern as shown inthe illustration. At night, with the multi-functionswitch turned on to the parking light or head lightposition the appropriate symbol on the shiftpattern indicator will be illuminated according tothe range selected.

C090B01A-AAT

The function of each position is asfollows:

o P (Park):

Use to hold the vehicle in place when parking orwhile starting the engine; shift the selector leverto the "P" (Park) position. Whenever parking thecar, apply the parking brake and shift the selec-tor lever to the "P" (Park) position.

C090C01A-AAT

o R(Reverse):

Use for backing up the vehicle. Bring the car toa complete stop before shifting the selectorlever to "R" position.

CAUTION:Never shift into "R" or "P" position while thecar is moving.

NOTE:Depress the brake pedal and push thebutton when shifting

Push the button when shifting

The selector lever can be shifted freely.

For optimum fuel economy, accelerate gradu-ally. The transaxle will automatically shift to thesecond, third and overdrive gears.

C090A01A

! CAUTION:Never place the selector lever in the "P"(Park) position unless the vehicle is fullystopped. Failure to observe this caution willcause severe damage to the transaxle.

!

C090D02A-AAT

o N (Neutral):

In the "N" position, the transaxle is in neutralposition, which means that no gears are en-gaged. The engine can be started with the shiftlever in "N" position, although this is not recom-mended except if the engine stalls while the caris moving.

C090E01A-AAT

o D (Drive):

Use for normal driving. The transaxle will auto-matically shift through a four-gear sequence.Never downshift manually to "2" position or "L"position when vehicle speed is more than 60mph (96 km/h).


C090P01A-AAT

Overdrive Switch

When the overdrive switch is turned on, thetransaxle will automatically upshift to the sec-ond, third and overdrive gears. When the over-drive switch is turned off, the transaxle will notupshift to the overdrive gear. For normal driving,the selector lever should be left in the "D"position and the overdrive switch turned on.If you need to accelerate rapidly, press theaccelerator pedal all the way to the floor. Thetransaxle will automatically shift to a lower gear,depending on the vehicle speed and load.

C090G01A-AAT

o L (Low gear):

Use for driving up a very steep grade or forengine braking when descending steep hills.When downshifting to "L", the transaxle willtemporarily remain in second gear until the ve-hicle has slowed enough for low gear to engage.Do not exceed 31 mph (50 km/h) in low gear.

C090I01A-AAT

C090F01A-AAT

o 2 (Second gear):

Use for driving on a slippery road, hill climbingor engine braking downhill. "2" automaticallyshifts between first and second gears.This means that no shift-up to 3rd gear is per-formed. However, the shift-up to third gear isdone when the car speed exceeds a certainvalue to prevent the engine from over-revving.Manually move the selector to "D" returning tonormal driving condition.

C090H01A-AAT

NOTE:o For smooth and safe operation, depress

the brake pedal when shifting from "Neu-tral" position or "Park" position to a for-ward or reverse gear.

o The ignition key must be in the "ON"position and the brake pedal fully de-pressed in order to move the shift leverfrom the "P" (Park) position to any of theother positions.

o It is always possible to shift from "R","N", "D", "2", "L" position to "P" posi-tion.

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

the vehicle has completely stopped.o Do not accelerate the engine in reverse or

any of the forward positions with thebrakes applied.

o Always apply the footbrake when shiftingfrom "P" or "N", to "R", "D", "2" or "L"position.

o Do not use the "P" (Park) position inplace of the parking brake. Always setthe parking brake, shift the transaxle into"P" (Park) position and turn off the igni-tion when you leave the vehicle, evenmomentarily. Never leave the vehicle un-attended while the engine is running.

o Check the automatic transaxle fluid levelregularly, and add fluid as necessary.

!

C090P01A


o Turn the overdrive switch on for good fueleconomy and smooth driving. If engine brak-ing is needed in the "D" range or if repeatedupshifting and downshifting between the 3rdand 4th gear is needed when climbing agentle slope, it is recommended that theoverdrive switch be turned off. Turn the over-drive switch back on immediately afterward.

C090N02A-AAT

Good Driving Practices

o Never move the gear selector lever from "P"or "N" to any other position with the acceler-ator pedal depressed.

o Never move the gear selector lever into "P"when the vehicle is in motion.

o Be sure the car is completely stopped beforeyou attempt to shift into "R".

o Never take the car out of gear and coastdown a hill. This may be extremely hazard-ous. Always leave the car in gear whenmoving.

o Do not "ride" the brakes. This can causethem to overheat and malfunction. Instead,when you are driving down a long hill, slowdown and shift to a lower gear. When you dothis, engine braking will help slow the car.

o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear.Otherwise, the lower gear may not be en-gaged.

o Always use the parking brake. Do not de-pend on placing the transaxle in "P" to keepthe car from moving.

o Exercise extreme caution when driving on aslippery surface. Be especially careful whenbraking, accelerating or shifting gears. On aslippery surface, an abrupt change in vehiclespeed can cause the drive wheels to losetraction and the vehicle to go out of control.

If you cannot move the shift lever from the "P"(Park) position to any other position with thebrake pedal fully depressed and the ignition keyin the "ON" position, remove the cap on theconsole with a thin object such as a pencil, pushthe shift lock release button down. Then, withthe brake pedal depressed, move the shift leverto the desired position, then the shift lock re-lease button will automatically return to its origi-nal position after shifting from the "P" (Park)position. Then, reinstall the cap.Have the system checked by your Hyundaidealer.

GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES

WARNING:Nothing should be carried on top of the shelfpanel behind the rear seat. If there were anaccident or a sudden stop, such objectscould move forward and cause damage tothe vehicle or injure the occupants.

!

o After being parked, check to be sure theparking brake is not engaged and that theparking brake indicator light is out beforedriving away.

o Driving through water may get the brakeswet. They can also get wet when the car iswashed. Wet brakes can be dangerous! Yourcar will not stop as quickly if the brakes arewet. Wet brakes may cause the car to pull toone side. To dry the brakes, apply the brakeslightly until the braking action returns to nor-mal, taking care to keep the car under con-trol at all times. If the braking action does notreturn to normal, stop as soon as it is safe todo so and call your Hyundai dealer for assis-tance.

o Don't coast down hills with the car out ofgear. This is extremely hazardous. Keep thecar in gear at all times, use the brakes toslow down, then shift to a lower gear so thatengine braking will help you maintain a safespeed.

o Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Resting yourfoot on the brake pedal while driving can bedangerous because it can result in the brakesoverheating and losing their effectiveness. Italso increases the wear of the brake compo-nents.

o If a tire goes flat while you are driving, applythe brakes gently and keep the car pointedstraight ahead while you slow down. Whenyou are moving slowly enough for it to besafe to do so, pull off the road and stop in asafe place.

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

o Use caution when parking on a hill. Engagethe parking brake and place the gear selec-tor lever in "P" (automatic transaxle) or infirst or reverse gear (manual transaxle). Ifyour car is facing downhill, turn the frontwheels into the curb to help keep the carfrom rolling. If your car is facing uphill, turnthe front wheels away from the curb to helpkeep the car from rolling. If there is no curbor if it is required by other conditions to keepthe car from rolling, block the wheels.

o Under some conditions your parking brakecan freeze in the engaged position. This ismost likely to happen when there is an accu-mulation of snow or ice around or near therear brakes or if the brakes are wet. If thereis a risk that the parking brake may freeze,

apply it only temporarily while you put thegear selector lever in "P" (automatic) or infirst or reverse gear (manual transaxle) andblock the rear wheels so the car cannot roll.Then release the parking brake.

o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade withthe accelerator pedal. This can cause thetransmission to overheat. Always use thebrake pedal or parking brake.

C120A02A-AAT

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM(If Installed)

The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designedto prevent wheel lock-up during sudden brakingor on hazardous road surfaces. The ABS con-trol module monitors the wheel speed and con-trols the pressure applied to each brake. Thus,in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABSwill increase vehicle control during braking.

NOTE:During ABS operation, a slight pulsationmay be felt in the brake pedal when thebrakes are applied. Also, a noise may beheard in the engine compartment while brak-ing. These conditions are normal and indi-cate that the anti-lock brake system is func-tioning properly.


WARNING:ABS will not prevent accidents due toimproper or dangerous driving maneu-vers. Even though vehicle control is im-proved during emergency braking, alwaysmaintain a safe distance between you andobjects ahead. Vehicle speeds should al-ways be reduced during extreme roadconditions.The braking distance for cars equippedwith an anti-lock braking system may belonger than for those without it in thefollowing road conditions.

o Driving on rough, gravel or snow-cov-ered roads.

o Driving with tire chains installed.o Driving on roads where the road surface

is pitted or has different surface height.

These roads should be driven at reducedspeeds. The safety features of an ABSequipped vehicle should not be tested byhigh speed driving or cornering. This couldendanger the safety of yourself or others.

DRIVING FOR ECONOMY

You can save fuel and get more miles from yourcar if you follow these suggestions:

o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderaterate. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts or full-throttle shifts and maintain a steady cruisingspeed. Don't race between stoplights. Try toadjust your speed to that of the other trafficso you don't have to change speeds unnec-essarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever possi-ble. Always maintain a safe distance fromother vehicles so you can avoid unneces-sary braking. This also reduces brake wear.

o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster youdrive, the more fuel your car uses. Driving ata moderate speed, especially on the high-way, is one of the most effective ways toreduce fuel consumption.

o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. Thiscan increase fuel consumption and also in-crease wear on these components. In addi-tion, driving with your foot resting on thebrake pedal may cause the brakes to over-heat, which reduces their effectiveness andmay lead to more serious consequences.

o Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated tothe recommended pressure. Incorrect infla-tion, either too much or too little, results inunnecessary tire wear. Check the tire pres-sures at least once a month.

o Be sure that the wheels are aligned correct-ly. Improper alignment can result from hittingcurbs or driving too fast over irregular surfac-es. Poor alignment causes faster tire wearand may also result in other problems as wellas greater fuel consumption.

o Keep your car in good condition. For betterfuel economy and reduced maintenancecosts, maintain your car in accordance withthe maintenance schedule in Section 5. Ifyou drive your car in severe conditions, morefrequent maintenance is required (see Sec-tion 5 for details).

o Keep your car clean. For maximum service,your Hyundai should be kept clean and freeof corrosive materials. It is especially impor-tant that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed toaccumulate on the underside of the car. Thisextra weight can result in increased fuelconsumption and also contribute to corro-sion.

o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary weightin 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 whenyou're ready to go.

o Remember, your Hyundai does not requireextended warm-up. As soon as the engine isrunning smoothly, you can drive away. Invery cold weather, however, give your en-gine a slightly longer warm-up period.


C160A01A-AAT

WINTER DRIVING

The more severe weather conditions of winterresult in greater wear and other problems. Tominimize the problems of winter driving, youshould follow these suggestions:

C160B01A-AAT

Snowy or Icy Conditions

To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may benecessary to use snow tires or to install tirechains on your tires. If snow tires are needed, itis necessary to select tires equivalent in sizeand type to the original equipment tires. Failureto do so may adversely affect the safety andhandling of your car. Furthermore, speeding,rapid acceleration, sudden brake applications,and sharp turns are potentially very hazardouspractices.During deceleration, use engine braking to thefullest extent. Sudden brake applications onsnowy or icy roads may cause skids to occur.You need to keep sufficient distance betweenthe vehicle in operation in front and your vehicle.Also, apply the brake gently. It should be notedthat installing tire chains on the tire will providea greater driving force, but will not prevent sideskids.

NOTE:Tire chains are not legal in all states. Checkstate laws before fitting tire chains.

Check Battery and Cables

Winter puts additional burdens on the batterysystem. Visually inspect the battery and cablesas described in Section 6. The level of charge inyour battery can be checked by your Hyundaidealer or a service station.

C160E01A-AAT

Change to "Winter Weight" Oil ifNecessary

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

C160C01A-AAT

Use High Quality Ethylene GlycolCoolant

Your Hyundai is delivered with high quality eth-ylene glycol coolant in the cooling system. It isthe only type of coolant that should be usedbecause it helps prevent corrosion in the coolingsystem, lubricates the water pump and preventsfreezing. Be sure to replace or replenish yourcoolant in accordance with the maintenanceschedule in Section 5. Before winter, have yourcoolant tested to assure that its freezing point issufficient for the temperatures anticipated dur-ing the winter.

o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Luggingis 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 racingthe engine beyond its safe limit. This can beavoided by shifting at the recommendedspeeds.

o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The airconditioning system is operated by enginepower so your fuel economy is reducedwhen you use it.

C150A01A-AAT

SMOOTH CORNERING

Avoid braking or gear changing in corners, es-pecially when roads are wet. Ideally, cornersshould always be taken under gentle accelera-tion. If you follow these suggestions, tire wearwill be held to a minimum.


C160H01A-AAT

Use Approved Anti-Freeze in WindowWasher System

To keep the water in the window washer systemfrom freezing, add an approved anti-freeze so-lution in accordance with instructions on thecontainer. Window washer anti-freeze is avail-able from Hyundai dealers and most auto partsoutlets. Do not use engine coolant or other typesof anti-freeze as these may damage the finish.

C160F01A-AAT

Check Spark Plugs and IgnitionSystem

Inspect your spark plugs as described in Sec-tion 6 and replace them if necessary. Alsocheck all ignition wiring and components to besure they are not cracked, worn or damaged inany way.

C160G01A-AAT

To Keep Locks from Freezing

To keep the locks from freezing, squirt an ap-proved de-icer fluid or glycerine into the keyopening. If a lock is covered with ice, squirt itwith an approved de-icing fluid to remove theice. If the lock is frozen internally, you may beable to thaw it out by using a heated key. Handlethe heated key with care to avoid burning thefingers.

C160I01A-AAT

Don't Let Your Parking Brake Freeze

Under some conditions your parking brake canfreeze in the engaged position. This is mostlikely to happen when there is an accumulationof snow or ice around or near the rear brakes orif the brakes are wet. If you think the parkingbrake may freeze, apply it only temporarily whileyou put the gear selector lever in "P" (automatic)or in first or reverse gear (manual transaxle) andblock 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 whereyou drive your car, you should carry appropriateemergency equipment. Some of the items youmay want to carry include tire chains, tow strapsor chains, flashlight, emergency flares, sand, ashovel, jumper cables, a window scraper, gloves,ground cloth, coveralls, a blanket, etc.

C160J01A-AAT

Don't Let Ice and Snow AccumulateUnderneath

Under some conditions, snow and ice can buildup under the fenders and interfere with thesteering. When driving in severe winter condi-tions where this may happen, you should peri-odically check underneath the car to be sure themovement of the front wheels and the steeringcomponents is not obstructed.

C170A01A-AAT

HIGHER SPEED MOTORINGPre-Trip Inspections

1. Tires:Adjust the tire inflation pressures for highwaydriving. Low tire inflation pressures will result inoverheating and possible failure of the tires.Avoid using worn or damaged tires which mayresult in reduced traction or tire failure.

NOTE:Never exceed the maximum tire inflation pres-sure shown on the tires.

2. Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil:High speed travel consumes 1.5 times more fuelthan urban motoring. Do not forget to check bothengine coolant and engine oil.

3. Drive belt:A loose or damaged drive belt may result inoverheating of the engine.


C190A01A-AAT

TRAILER TOWING

Your Hyundai should not be used to tow atrailer. It is designed to be compact and light forgood fuel economy, and is not designed as atrailer-towing vehicle. Damages or malfunctionscaused by towing may not be covered by thelimited warranties applying to your Hyundai.Damages or malfunctions that result from tow-ing a trailer for commercial purposes are specifi-cally not covered by Hyundai limited warranties.

C180A01A-AAT

USE OF LIGHTS

Check your lights regularly for correct operationand always keep them clean. When drivingduring the day in conditions of poor visibility, it ishelpful to drive with headlights on low beam.This enables you to be seen as well as to see.

!

o If you should accidentally get acid on yourskin or in your eyes, immediately removeany contaminated clothing and flush the areawith clear water for at least 15 minutes. Thenpromptly obtain medical attention. If you mustbe transported to an emergency facility, con-tinue to apply water to the affected area witha sponge or cloth.

o The gas produced by the battery during thejump-start operation is highly explosive. Donot smoke or allow a spark or open flame inthe vicinity.

o The battery being used to provide the jumpstart must be 12-volt. If you cannot deter-mine that it is a 12-volt battery, do not at-tempt 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 anothervehicle, be sure the two vehicles are nottouching.

2. Turn off all unnecessary lights and acces-sories in both vehicles.

3. Attach the clamps of the jumper cable in theexact location shown on the previous page.First, attach one clamp of the jumper cable tothe positive (+) post or cable of the dis-charged battery. Then attach the other endof the same cable to the positive (+) post orcable of the booster battery. Next, using theother cable, attach one clamp to the nega-tive (-) post or cable of the booster battery.

Then attach the other end of that cable to asolid metal part of the engine away from thebattery. Do not connect the cable to anymoving part.

4. Start the engine in the car with the boosterbattery and let it run for a few minutes. Thiswill help to assure that the booster battery isfully charged. During the jumping operation,run the engine in this vehicle at about 2000rpm.

5. Start the engine in the car with the dis-charged battery using the normal startingprocedure. After the engine starts, leave thejumper cables connected and let the enginerun at fast idle or about 2000 rpm for severalminutes.

6. Carefully remove the jumper cables in thereverse order of attachment.

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


WARNING:While the engine is running, keep hands,long hair and clothing away from movingparts such as the fan and drive belts toprevent injury.

Spare Tire Pressure

D040A01A-AAT

SPARE TIRE

The following instructions for the temporary sparetire should be observed:

1. Check inflation pressure as soon as is prac-tical after installing the spare tire, and adjustto the specified pressure. The tire pressureshould be periodically checked and main-tained at the specified pressure while the tireis stored.

D030A01A-AAT

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS

If your temperature gauge indicates overheat-ing, you experience a loss of power, or hear loudpinging or knocking, the engine is probably toohot. If this happens, you should:

1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safeto do so.

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

3. If coolant is running out under the car orsteam is coming out from the hood, stop theengine. Do not open the hood until the cool-ant has stopped running or the steaming hasstopped. If there is no visible loss of coolantand no steam, leave the engine running andcheck to be sure the engine cooling fan isoperating. If the fan is not running, turn theengine off.

4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt ismissing. If it is not missing, check to see thatit is tight. If the drive belt seems to besatisfactory, check for coolant leaking fromthe radiator, hoses or under the car. (If the airconditioner had been in use, it is normal forcold water to be draining from it when youstop).

5. If the water pump drive belt is broken orcoolant is leaking out, stop the engine im-mediately and call the nearest Hyundai deal-er for assistance.

WARNING:Do not remove the radiator cap when theengine is hot. This may allow coolant to beblown out of the opening and cause seriousburns.

6. If you cannot find the cause of the overheat-ing, wait until the engine temperature hasreturned to normal. Then, if coolant has beenlost, carefully remove the radiator cap andadd water to bring the fluid level in thereservoir up to the halfway mark.

7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for fur-ther signs of overheating. If overheating hap-pens again, call a Hyundai dealer for assis-tance.

CAUTION:Serious loss of coolant indicates there is aleak in the cooling system and this shouldbe checked as soon as possible by a Hyundaidealer.

4- 2 CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE

E010B01A-AAT

Common Causes of Corrosion

The most common causes of corrosion on yourcar are:

o Road salt, dirt and moisture that is allowed toaccumulate underneath the car.

o Removal of paint or protective coatings bystones, gravel, abrasion or minor scrapesand dents which leave unprotected metalexposed to corrosion.

E010A01A-AAT

CORROSION PROTECTION

Protecting Your Hyundai from Corro-sionBy using the most advanced design and con-struction practices to combat corrosion, Hyundaiproduces cars of the highest quality. However,this is only part of the job. To achieve the longterm corrosion resistance your Hyundai candeliver, the owner's cooperation and assistanceis also required.

E010C01A-AAT

High-Corrosion Areas

If you live in an area where your car is regularlyexposed to corrosive materials, corrosion pro-tection is particularly important. Some of thecommon causes of accelerated corrosion areroad salts, dust control chemicals, ocean airand industrial pollution.

E010D01A-AAT

Moisture Breeds Corrosion

Moisture creates the conditions in which corro-sion is most likely to occur. For example, corro-sion is accelerated by high humidity, particularlywhen temperatures are just above freezing. Insuch conditions, the corrosive material is kept incontact with the car surfaces by moisture that isslow to evaporate.Mud is a particular enemy of corrosion protec-tion because it is slow to dry and holds moisturein contact with the vehicle. Even though the mudappears to be dry, it can still retain moisture andpromote corrosion.High temperatures can also accelerate corro-sion of parts that are not properly ventilated sothe moisture can be dispersed. For all thesereasons, it is particularly important to keep yourcar clean and free of mud or accumulations ofother materials. This applies not only on thevisible surfaces but particularly to the undersideof the car.

E020A01A-AAT

TO HELP PREVENT CORROSION

You can help prevent corrosion from gettingstarted by observing the following:

E020B01A-AAT

Keep Your Car Clean

The best way to prevent corrosion is to keepyour car clean and free of corrosive materials.Attention to the underside of the car is particu-larly important.

o If you live in a high-corrosion area — whereroad salts are used, near the ocean, areaswith industrial pollution, acid rain, etc.— youshould take extra care to prevent corrosion.In winter, hose off the underside of your carat least once a month and be sure to cleanthe underside thoroughly when winter is over.

o When cleaning underneath the car, give par-ticular attention to the components under thefenders and other areas that are hidden fromview. Do a thorough job; just dampening theaccumulated mud rather than washing it awaywill accelerate corrosion rather than preventit. Water under high pressure and steam areparticularly effective in removing accumulat-ed mud and corrosive materials.

o When cleaning lower door panels, rockerpanels and frame members, be sure thatdrain holes are kept open so that moisturecan escape and not be trapped inside to ac-celerate corrosion.

CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE 4- 3

E030A01A-AAT

WASHING AND WAXINGWashing Your Hyundai

Never wash your car when the surface is hotfrom being in the sun. Always wash your car inthe shade.

Wash your car frequently. Dirt is abrasive andcan scratch the paint if it is not removed. Airpollution or acid rain may damage the paint andtrim through chemical action if pollutants areallowed to remain in contact with the surface. Ifyou live near the ocean or in an area where roadsalts or dust control chemicals are used, youshould pay particular attention to the undersideof the car. Start by rinsing the car to removedust and loose dirt. In winter, or if you havedriven through mud or muddy water, be sure tothoroughly clean the underside as well. Use ahard direct stream of water to remove accumu-lations of mud or corrosive materials. Use agood quality car-washing solution and follow themanufacturer's directions on the package. Theseare available at your Hyundai dealer or autoparts outlet. Don't use strong household deter-gents, gasoline, strong solvents or abrasivecleaning powders as these may damage thefinish.

Use a clean sponge or cloth, rinse it frequentlyand don't damage the finish by rubbing too hard.For stubborn spots, dampen them frequentlyand remove them a little at a time.

To clean whitewall tires, use a stiff brush orsoap-impregnated steel-wool scouring pad.

To clean plastic wheel covers, use a cleansponge or soft cloth and water.

To clean cast aluminum alloy wheels, use a mildsoap or neutral detergent. Do not use abrasivecleaners. Protect the bare-metal surfaces bycleaning, polishing and waxing. Because alumi-num is subject to corrosion, be sure to givealuminum alloy wheels special attention in win-ter. If you drive on salted roads, clean thewheels thoroughly afterwards.

After washing, be sure to rinse thoroughly. Ifsoapy water dries on the finish, streaking willresult.

When the weather is warm and the humidity low,you may find it necessary to rinse each sectionimmediately after washing to avoid streaking.

After rinsing, dry the car using a damp chamoisor soft, absorbent cloth. The reason for dryingthe car is to remove water from the car so it willdry without water spots. Don't rub, this candamage the finish.

If you find any nicks or scratches in the paint,use touch-up paint to cover them to preventcorrosion. To protect the paintwork of the caragainst corrosion, you must clean your Hyundai(at least once a month). Give special attention

E020C01A-AAT

Keep Your Garage Dry

Don't park your car in a damp, poorly ventilatedgarage. This creates a favorable environmentfor corrosion. This is particularly true if you washyour car in the garage or drive it into the garagewhen it is still wet or covered with snow, ice ormud. Even a heated garage can contribute tocorrosion unless it is well ventilated so moistureis dispersed.

E020D01A-AAT

Keep Paint and Trim in Good Condition

Scratches or chips in the finish should be cov-ered with "touch-up" paint as soon as possibleto reduce the possibility of corrosion. If baremetal is showing through, the attention of aqualified body and paint shop is recommended.

E020E01A-AAT

Don't Neglect the Interior

Moisture can collect under the floor mats andcarpeting to cause corrosion. Check under themats periodically to be sure the carpeting is dry.Use particular care if you carry fertilizers, clean-ing materials or chemicals in the car.These should be carried only in proper contain-ers and any spills or leaks should be cleanedup, flushed with clear water and thoroughlydried.

4- 4 CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE

to the removal of salt, mud and other substanc-es on the underside of the splashboards of thecar. Make sure that the outlets and the under-side of the doors are open. Paint damage can becaused by small accumulation of tar, industrialprecipitation, tree resin, insects and bird drop-pings, when not removed immediately.If water alone is not strong enough to removethe accumulated dirt, use a mild car washingsolution. Be sure to rinse the surface afterwashing to remove the solution. Never allow thesolution to dry on the painted surfaces.

E030B01A-AAT

Spot Cleaning

Don't use gasoline, strong solvents or corrosivecleaning agents. These can damage the finishof the car. To remove road tar, use turpentine ona clean, soft cloth.

CHECKING AND CHANGING THE EN-GINE COOLANT

G050B01A-AAT

Recommended Engine Coolant

Use a high quality ethylene-glycol coolant in a50/50 mix with water. The engine coolant shouldbe compatible with aluminum engine parts. Ad-ditional corrosion inhibitors or additives shouldnot be used. The cooling system must be main-tained with the correct concentration and type ofengine coolant to prevent freezing and corro-sion.Never allow the concentration of antifreeze toexceed the 60% level or go below the 35% levelor damage to the coolant system may result. Forproper concentration when adding or replacingthe coolant, refer to the following table.

WARNING:Do not remove the radiator cap when theengine is hot. When the engine is hot, theengine coolant is under pressure and mayerupt through the opening if the cap is re-moved. You could be seriously burned if youdo not observe this precaution. Do not re-move the radiator cap until the radiator iscool to the touch.

To Check the Coolant Level

The coolant level can be seen on the side of theplastic coolant reservoir. The level of the coolantshould be between the "LOW" and "FULL" lineson the reservoir when the engine is cool. If thelevel is below the "LOW" mark, add enginecoolant to bring it up between "LOW" and "FULL".If the level is low, inspect for coolant leaks andrecheck the fluid level frequently. If the leveldrops again, visit your Hyundai dealer for aninspection and diagnosis of the reason.

G050D02A-AAT

To Change the Coolant

The coolant should be changed at those inter-vals specified in the vehicle maintenance sched-ule in Section 5.

CAUTION:Engine coolant can damage the finish ofyour car. If you spill engine coolant on thecar, wash it off thoroughly with clean water.

1. Park the car on level ground, set the parkingbrake and remove the radiator cap whencool.

2. Be sure your drain receptacle is in place.Open the drain cock on the radiator. Allow allthe engine coolant to drain from the coolingsystem, then securely close the drain cock.

3. Check Section 9 for the capacity of thecooling system in your car. Then, followingthe manufacturer's directions on the enginecoolant container, add the appropriate quan-tity of coolant to the radiator.

!

4. Turn the radiator cap counterclockwise with-out pressing down on it, until it stops. Thisrelieves any pressure remaining in the cool-ing system. And remove the radiator cap bypushing down and turning counterclockwise.Now fill the radiator with clean demineralizedor distilled water. Continue to add cleandemineralized or distilled water in small quan-tities until the fluid level stays up in theradiator neck.

G050D01A G050D02A

5. Start the engine, top off the radiator withwater and then add engine coolant to thereservoir until the level is between "LOW"and "FULL".

6. Replace the radiator and reservoir caps andcheck to be sure the drain cocks are fullyclosed and not leaking.

WARNING:The cooling fan is controlled by engine cool-ant temperature and may sometimes operateeven when the engine is not running. Useextreme caution when working near theblades of the cooling fan so that you are notinjured by a rotating fan blade. As the enginecoolant temperature decreases, the fan willautomatically shut off. This is a normal con-dition.

REPLACING THE SPARK PLUGS

G060A01L

0.039 ~ 0.043 in.(1.0 ~ 1.1 mm )

The spark plugs should be changed at theintervals specified in the vehicle maintenanceschedule in section 5, or whenever engine per-formance indicates they should be changed.Symptoms that suggest poor spark plug perfor-mance include engine misfiring under load, lossof fuel economy, poor acceleration, etc. Whenspark plugs are replaced, always use sparkplugs recommended by Hyundai. The use ofother spark plugs can result in loss of perfor-mance, radio interference or engine damage.

NOTE:When replacing the spark plugs, genuineHyundai replacement parts are recom-mended.

G060C01S-GAT

Changing the Spark PlugsYou will find it easier to change spark plugs if theengine is cold. Always change one spark plug ata time. This helps avoid getting the wires mixedup.

G060C01A-D

1. Remove the center cover on the enginerocker cover.

2. Using a clean cloth, remove any dirt that hasaccumulated around the base of the sparkplug so it cannot fall into the cylinder whenthe spark plug is removed.

Recommended Spark Plugs:CHAMPION : RC10YC4NGK : BKR5ES-11

3. To remove the spark plug cable, pull straightup on the insulated connector, not the cable.Pulling on the cable may damage the carboncore conductor.

WARNING:It is recommended that the engine be cool orcold when changing the spark plugs. If theengine is hot, you could burn yourself on theinsulated connector, the spark plug or theengine itself.

H010C01S-AAT

2. Evaporative Emission Control (In-cluding ORVR: Onboard Refueling Va-por Recovery) System

The Evaporative Emission Control System isdesigned to prevent fuel vapors from escapinginto the atmosphere.(The ORVR system is designed to allow thevapors from the fuel tank to be loaded into acanister while refueling at the gas station, pre-venting the escape of fuel vapors into the atmo-sphere.)

Canister

Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel tank areabsorbed and stored in the onboard canister.When the engine is running, the fuel vaporsabsorbed in the canister are drawn into theinduction system through the purge control so-lenoid valve.

Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)

The purge control solenoid valve is controlled bythe Engine Control Module (ECM); when theengine coolant temperature is low during idling,the PCSV closes so that evaporated fuel is nottaken into the engine. After the engine warms-up during ordinary driving, the PCSV opens tointroduce evaporated fuel to the engine.

H010B01A-AAT

1. CRANKCASE EMISSION CONTROLSYSTEM

The positive crankcase ventilation system isemployed to prevent air pollution caused byblow-by gases being emitted from the crank-case. This system supplies filtered fresh air tothe crankcase through the air intake hose. In-side the crankcase, the fresh air mixes withblow-by gases, then passes through the PCVvalve into the induction system.

H010A01A-AAT

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

Your Hyundai is equipped with an emissioncontrol system to meet all requirements of theU.S. Environmental Protection Agency or Cali-fornia Air Resources Board.There are three emission control systems whichare as follows.

1) Crankcase Emission Control System2) Evaporative Emission Control System3) Exhaust Emission Control System

In order to ensure the proper function of theemission control systems, it is recommendedthat you have your car inspected and main-tained by an authorized Hyundai dealer in ac-cordance with the maintenance schedule in thismanual.

H010D01A-AAT

3. EXHAUST EMISSIONCONTROL SYSTEM

The Exhaust Emission Control System is ahighly effective system which controls exhaustemissions while maintaining good vehicleperformace.

H020A01A-AAT

CATALYTIC CONVERTER

All Hyundai vehicles are equipped with a mono-lith type three-way catalytic converter to reducethe carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitro-gen oxides contained in the exhaust gas. Ex-haust gases passing through the catalytic con-verter cause it to operate at a very high tem-perature. The introduction of large amounts of

HLC5022Catalytic Converter

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS 7- 3

unburned gasoline into the exhaust may causethe catalytic converter to overheat and create afire hazard. This risk may be reduced by ob-serving the following:

WARNING:o Remember that your Hyundai dealer is

your best source of assistance.o Do not stop your Hyundai over any com-

bustible material such as grass, paper,leaves or rags. These materials mightcontact the hot catalytic converter and afire might result.

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

condition. Extremely high catalytic con-verter temperatures can result from im-proper operation of the electrical, ignitionor multiport electronic fuel injection.

o If your engine stalls, pings, knocks, or ishard to start, have your Hyundai dealerinspect and repair the problem as soonas possible.

o Avoid driving with a very low fuel level.Running out of gasoline may cause theengine to misfire and result in damage tothe catalytic converter.

o Avoid idling the engine for periods longerthan 10 minutes.

o The vehicle should not be pushed orpulled to get started. This may cause thecatalytic converter to overheat and createa fire hazard.

o Do not touch the catalytic converter orany other part of the exhaust systemwhile the catalytic converter is hot. Shutoff the engine, wait for at least one hourbefore touching the catalytic converter orany other part of the exhaust system.

! CAUTION:Always observe the following:

o Check pressures when the tires arecold. That is, after the car has beenparked for at least three hours andhasn't been driven more than one mileor 1.6 km since starting up.

o Check the pressure of your spare tireeach time you check the pressure ofother tires.

I040A01A-AAT

SNOW TIRES

If you equip your car with snow tires, theyshould be the same size and have the sameload capacity as the original tires. Snow tiresshould be installed on all four wheels; otherwise,poor handling may result.Snow tires should carry 4 psi (28 kPa) more airpressure than the pressure recommended forthe standard tires on the tire label on the glovebox, or up to the maximum pressure shown onthe tire sidewall whichever is less.Do not drive faster than the speed limit whenyour car is equipped with snow tires.

I050A03A-AAT

TIRE CHAINS

Tire chains, if necessary, should be installed onthe front wheels. Be sure that the chains areinstalled in accordance with the manufacturer'sinstructions.

To minimize tire and chain wear, do not con-tinue to use tire chains when they are nolonger needed.

WARNING:o When driving on roads covered with snow

or ice, drive at less than 20 mph (30 km/h).o Use the SAE "S" class or wire & plastic

chains.o If you have noise caused by chains

contacting the body, retighten the chainto avoid contact with the vehicle body.

o To prevent body damage, retighten thechains after driving 0.3~0.6 miles.

!

Tire pressures should be checked at leastmonthly. Proper tire inflation pressures shouldbe maintained for these reasons:o Lower-than-recommended tire pressures

cause uneven tread wear and poor handling.o Higher-than-recommended tire pressures in-

crease the chance of damage from impactsand cause uneven tread wear.


I070A01A-AAT

TIRE BALANCING

A tire that is out of balance may affect handlingand tire wear. The tires on your Hyundai werebalanced before the car was delivered but mayneed balancing again during the years you ownthe car.Whenever a tire is dismounted for repair, itshould be rebalanced before being reinstalledon the car.

I080A01A-AAT

TIRE TRACTION

Tire traction can be reduced if you drive on worntires, tires that are improperly inflated or onslippery road surfaces. Tires should be replacedwhen tread wear indicators appear. To reducethe possibility of losing control, slow down when-ever there is rain, snow or ice on the road.

I090A01A-AAT

WHEN TO REPLACE TIRESI060A02A-AAT

TIRE ROTATION

Tires should be rotated every 7,500 miles (12,000km). If you notice that tires are wearing un-evenly between rotations, have the car checkedby a Hyundai dealer so the cause may becorrected.After rotating, adjust the tire pressures and besure to check the wheel nut torque.

HEF-241

WARNING:o Do not use the temporary spare tire for

tire rotation.o Do not mix bias ply and radial ply tires

under any circumstances. This may causeunusual handling characteristics thatcould result in death, serious injury, orproperty damage.

!

Wear indicator

0.06 in. (1.6 mm)

HGK248

The original tires on your car have tread wearindicators. The tread wear indicators appearwhen the tread depth is 0.06 in. (1.6 mm). Thetire should be replaced when these appear asa solid bar across two or more grooves of thetread. Always replace your tires with those ofthe recommended size. If you change wheels,the new wheel's rim width and offset mustmeet Hyundai specification.


WARNING:o Driving on worn-out tires is dangerous!

Worn-out tires can cause loss of brak-ing effectiveness, steering control andtraction. When replacing tires, nevermix radial and bias ply tires on the samecar. If you replace radial tires with bias-ply tires, they must be installed in setsof four.

o Using tires and wheels of other thanthe recommended sizes could causeunusual handling characteristics thatcould cause death, serious injury, orproperty damage.

o Wheels that do not meet Hyundai'sdimensional specifications may fitpoorly and result in damage to thevehicle, including broken wheel studs.

CONSUMER INFORMATION

This consumer information has been preparedin accordance with regulations issued by theNational Highway Traffic Safety Administrationof the U.S. Department of Transportation. Itprovides the purchasers and/or prospectivepurchasers of Hyundai automobiles with infor-mation on uniform tire quality grading. YourHyundai dealer will help answer any questionsyou may have as you read this information.

I130B03A-AAT

Tire Grading

Department of Transportation quality grades -All passenger vehicle tires must conform toFederal Safety Standards in addition to thesegrades. These quality grades are molded on thesidewall.

Treadwear - The treadwear grade is a com-parative rating based on the wear rate of thetire when tested under controlled conditions ona specified government test course. For ex-ample, a tire graded 150 would wear one anda half (1 - 1/2) times as well on the governmentcourse as a tire graded 100. The relativeperformance of tires depends upon the actualconditions of their use, however, and maydepart significantly from the norm due to varia-tions in driving habits, service practices anddifferences in road characteristics and cli-mate.

WARNING:The traction grade assigned to this tire isbased on straight-ahead braking tractiontests, and does not include acceleration,cornering, hydroplaning, or peak tractioncharacteristics.

Temperature A, B, C - The temperaturegrades are A (the highest), B, and C, repre-senting the tire's resistance to the generationof heat andits ability to dissipate heat when tested undercontrolled conditions on a specified indoor labo-ratory test wheel. Sustained high temperaturecan cause the material of the tire to degenerateand reduce tire life, and excessive temperaturecan lead to sudden tire failure. The grade Ccorresponds to a level of performance which allpassenger car tires must meet under the Feder-al Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109.Grades B and A represent higher levels ofperformance on the laboratory test wheel thanthe minimum required by law.
