The seat belts must be usedin conjunction with the supplementalairbag system. State laws may require thatsome or all occupants of the vehicle useseat belts. The possibility of increased in-jury or severity of injury in an accident willbe increased if this elementary safety pre-caution is not observed. In addition, thefollowing recommendations are made:

B150B03Y-AAT

Infant or Small ChildAll 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.Information about the use of these restraintsbegins on page 1-24.

WARNING:Every person in your vehicle needs to beproperly restrained at all times, includinginfants and children. In a collision, an unre-strained child can become a "missile" in-side the car. The force required to hold achild on your lap could be so great that youcould not hold the child. Any child riding inthe vehicle should always be in a properrestraint in the rear seat of the vehicle.

B150C03A-AAT

Larger Children

Children who are too large for child restraintsystems should always occupy the rear seatand use the available lap/shoulder belts. The lapportion should be fastened snug on the hips andas low as possible. Check belt fit periodically. Achild's squirming could put the belt out of posi-tion. Children are afforded the most safety in theevent of an accident when they are restrainedby a proper restraint system in the rear seat. Ifa larger child (over age 13) must be seated inthe front seat, the child should be securelyrestrained by the available lap/shoulder belt andthe seat should be placed in the rearmostposition. Children under the age of 13 should berestrained securely in the rear seat. Never

NOTE:Small children are best protected from in-jury in an accident when properly restrainedin the rear seat by a child restraint systemthat meets the requirements of the FederalMotor Vehicle Safety Standards. Beforebuying any child restraint system, makesure that it has a label certifying that itmeets Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.The restraint must be appropriate for yourchild's height and weight.

SEAT BELTS-Front Passenger and RearSeat 3-Point System withCombination Locking RetractorTo Fasten Your Belt

This type of seat belt combines the features ofboth an emergency locking retractor seat beltand an automatic locking retractor seat belt. Tofasten your seat belt, pull it out of the retractorand insert the metal tab into the buckle. Therewill be an audible "click" when the tab locks intothe buckle. When not securing a child restraint,the seat belt operates in the same way as thedriver's seat belt (Emergency Locking Retrac-tor Type). It automatically adjusts to the properlength only after the lap 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 instal-lation of a child restraint system, the seat beltoperation changes to allow the belt to retract, butnot to extend. (Automatic Locking RetractorType). See page 1-28.

NOTE:Although the combination retractor pro-vides the same level of protection for seatedpassengers in either emergency or auto-matic locking modes, it is recommendedthat seated passengers use the emergencylocking feature for improved convenience.The automatic locking function is intendedto facilitate child restraint installation. Toconvert from the automatic locking featureto the emergency locking operation mode,allow the unbuckled seat belt to fully re-tract.

Combination retractor type seat belts are in-stalled in the rear seat outboard positions to helpaccommodate the installation of child restraintsystems. Although a combination retractor isalso installed in the front passenger seat posi-tion, Hyundai strongly recommends that chil-dren always be seated in the rear seat. NEVERplace any infant restraint system in the frontseat of the vehicle.

o Always make sure that the shoulder beltportion of the lap/shoulder belt is posi-tioned midway over the shoulder, neveracross the neck or behind the back.Moving the child closer to the center ofthe vehicle may help provide a goodshoulder belt fit. The lap belt portion ofthe lap/shoulder belt or the center seatlap belt must always be positioned aslow as possible on the child's hips andas snug as possible.

o If the seat belt will not properly fit thechild, Hyundai recommends the use ofan approved booster seat in the rear seatin order to raise the child's seating heightso that the seat belt will properly fit thechild. Before purchasing a booster seat,make sure that it meets applicable Fed-eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standards(FMVSS) and that it is satisfactory foruse 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 ac-cident.

! !o Never allow a child to be held in a person's

arms while they are in a moving vehicle,as this could result in serious injury tothe child in the event of an accident or asudden stop. Holding a child in a movingvehicle does not provide the child withany means of protection during an acci-dent, even if the person holding the childis wearing a seat belt.

ADVANCED SUPPLEMENTALRESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM (SRS)

B240A01E-AAT

Your Hyundai is equipped with an AdvancedSupplemental 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 thesteering wheel and the passenger's side frontpanel above the glove box. The purpose of theSRS is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or thefront passenger with additional protection than

that offered by the seat belt system alone, incase of a frontal impact of sufficient severity.The advanced SRS uses a collection of sen-sors to gather information about the driver's andfront passenger's seat position, the driver's andfront passenger's seat belt usage and impactseverity.The driver's and front passenger's seat positionsensors, which are installed on the seat track,determine if the seats are fore or aft of areference position. Similarly, the seat belt usagesensors determine if the driver and frontpassenger's seat belts are fastened. Thesesensors provide the ability to control the SRSdeployment's pressure based on how close thedriver's seat is to the steering wheel, how closethe passenger's seat is to the instrument paneland whether or not the seat belts are fastened,and how severe is impact.

The advanced airbags offer the ability to controlthe airbag inflation with two pressure levels. Afirst stage pressure level is provided for mod-erate-severity impacts. A second stage pres-sure level is provided for more severe impacts.

Your Hyundai is equipped with an OccupantClassification® system in the front passenger'sseat. The Occupant Classification® system de-tects the presence of a passenger in the frontpassenger's seat and will turn off the frontpassenger's airbag under certain conditions.For more detail, see page 1-37.

B240A01E

Driver's AirbagCAUTION:

If the seat position sensor is not workingproperly, the SRS airbag warning light onthe instrument panel will illuminate even ifthere is no malfunction of the SRS airbagsystem because the SRS airbag is con-nected with the seat position sensor. If theSRS airbag warning light does not illumi-nate when the ignition key is turned to the"ON" position, if it remains illuminated afterblinking for approximately 6 seconds, or ifit illuminates while the vehicle is beingdriven, have an authorized Hyundai dealerinspect the seat position sensor and theSRS airbag system as soon as possible.

!

WARNING:o Modification to the seat structure can

adversely affect the seat position sensorand cause the airbag to deploy at adifferent pressure level than should beprovided.

o Do not place any objects that may causemagnetic fields near the front seat. Thesecan cause a malfunction of the seatposition sensor.

sult in serious or fatal injury if the airbags,Occupant Classification® system or pre-tensioners do not work properly. Haveyour car checked by a dealer as soon aspossible if the SRS warning light alertsyou to a potential problem.

o The SRS is designed to deploy the frontairbags only when an impact is suffi-ciently severe and when the impact angleis less than 30° from the forward longi-tudinal axis of the vehicle and will notdeploy in side, rear or rollover impacts.Additionally, the airbags will only de-ploy once. Thus, seat belts must be wornat all times.

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 Advanced airbags are combined withpre-tensioner seat belts to help provideenhanced occupant protection in fron-tal 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 designed

to work with, and be supplemental to,the driver's and the passenger's threepoint seat belt systems and is not asubstitute for them. Therefore, your seatbelts must be worn at all times while thevehicle is in motion. The airbags deployonly in certain frontal impact conditionssevere enough to cause significant in-jury to the vehicle occupants.

o Sitting too close to a front airbag canresult in serious or fatal injury if the frontairbags inflate. Always sit as far backfrom airbags as possible.

o The driver should sit back as far aspossible while still maintaining controlof the vehicle. If you are sitting too closeto the airbag, it can cause death or seri-ous injury when it inflates.

WARNING:o Front airbags are not intended to deploy

in side-impact, rear-impact or rollovercrashes. In addition, airbags will notdeploy in frontal crashes below the de-ployment threshold.

! WARNING:o No objects should be placed over or near

the airbag modules on the steeringwheel, instrument panel, and the frontpassenger's panel above the glove box,because any such object could causeharm if the vehicle is in a crash severeenough to cause the airbags to deploy.

o If the airbags deploy, they must be re-placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.

o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRSwiring, or other components of the SRSsystem. Doing so could result in injury,due to accidental deployment of theairbags or by rendering the SRS inopera-tive.

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 properlybelted and the seat is moved back as faras possible.

o For maximum safety protection in alltypes of crashes, all occupants includ-ing the driver should always wear theirseat belts whether or not an airbag isalso provided at their seating position tominimize 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 Sitting improperly or out of position canresult in serious or fatal injury in a crash.All occupants should sit upright in theirseats with their feet on the floor until thevehicle is parked and the ignition key isremoved.

o The SRS airbag system must deploy veryrapidly to provide protection in a crash.If an occupant is out of position becauseof not wearing a seat belt, the airbag mayforcefully contact the occupant causingserious or fatal injuries.

The SRSCM continually monitors all elementswhile the ignition is "ON" to determine if a frontalor near-frontal impact is severe enough torequire airbag deployment or pre-tensioner seatbelt deployment.

The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) onthe instrument panel will blink for about 6 sec-onds after the ignition key is turned to the "ON"position or after the engine is started, after whichthe 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 front airbags.

B240B01L

B240B02L

Upon deployment, tear seams molded directlyinto the pad covers will separate under pres-sure from the expansion of the airbags. Furtheropening of the covers then allows full inflation ofthe airbags.

A fully inflated airbag, in combination with aproperly worn seat belt, slows the driver's or thepassenger's forward motion, reducing therisk of head and chest injury.

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

a loud noise and fine dust will be re-leased throughout the vehicle. Theseconditions are normal and are not haz-ardous. However, the fine dust generat-ed during airbag deployment may causeskin irritation. Wash your hands and facethoroughly with lukewarm water and amild soap after an accident in which theairbags were deployed.

o The SRS can function only when theignition key is in the "ON" position. If theSRS SRI does not come on, or continu-ously remains on after flashing for about6 seconds when the ignition key is turnedto the "ON" position, or after the engineis started, comes on while driving, theSRS is not working properly. If this oc-curs, have your vehicle immediately in-spected by your Hyundai dealer.

o Before you replace a fuse or disconnecta battery terminal, turn the ignition keyto the "LOCK" position or remove theignition key. Never remove or replace theair bag related fuse(s) when the ignitionkey is in the "ON" position. Failure toheed this warning will cause the SRS SRIto illuminate.

OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION®

SYSTEM

The Occupant Classification® system detectsthe presence of a passenger in the frontpassenger's seat and will turn off the frontpassenger's airbag under certain conditions.The driver's airbag and the driver's side impactairbag are not connected with the OccupantClassification® system.The Occupant Classification® system is de-signed to detect the presence of a properly-seated occupant and determine if thepassenger's airbag and the passenger's sideimpact airbag should be enabled (may inflate) ornot.

HXDFL240-A

If the front passenger seat is unoccupied oroccupied by someone lighter than 56.4 pounds(25.6 kg), the indicator "PASSENGER AIR BAGOFF" will be displayed, and the front passenger'sairbag will be turned off and will not deploy infrontal crashes.

NOTE:o The "Passenger Airbag Off" indicator

illuminates for about 6 seconds after theignition key is turned to the "ON" posi-tion or after the engine is started, andthen turns off in a few seconds.

o If the "Passenger Airbag Off" indicatorilluminates, the passenger's airbag willnot deploy in frontal crashes. If the "Pas-senger Airbag Off" indicator does notilluminate, the passenger's airbag willdeploy in frontal crashes.

o If your vehicle is equipped with sideimpact airbags, the front passenger'sside impact airbag will not deploy whenthe telltale indicator is illuminated.

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/orfront passenger with additional protection in aside impact than that offered by the seat beltalone. The side impact airbags are designed todeploy only during certain side impact colli-sions, depending on the crash severity, angle,speed and point of impact. The side impactairbags are not designed to deploy in all sideimpact situations.

B990B02Y

WARNING:o Even though your vehicle is equipped

with the Occupant Classification® sys-tem, do not install a child restraint sys-tem in the front passenger's seat. A childrestraint system must never be placed inthe front seat. Children who are too largefor child restraint systems should al-ways occupy the rear seat and use theavailable lap/shoulder belts. Children areafforded the most safety in the event ofan accident when they are restrained bya proper restraint system in the rear seat.

o The Occupant Classification® system canfunction only when the ignition key is inthe "ON" position. If the "PassengerAirbag Off " indicator is illuminated whenthe front passenger's seat is occupiedby an adult who is seated properly, (sit-ting upright with the seat in an uprightposition, centered on the seat cushion,with the person's legs comfortably ex-tended), or if the "Passenger Airbag Off"indicator is not illuminated when thefront passenger's seat is unoccupied oroccupied by someone lighter than 56.4pounds(25.6 kg), the Occupant Classifi-cation® system is not working properly.If this occurs, have your vehicle immedi-ately inspected by your Hyundai dealer.

! WARNING:o If luggage or other objects are placed on

the front passenger's seat or if the tem-perature of the seat changes, the "Passen-ger Airbag Off" indicator may blink. Theseconditions do not indicate a problem.

o If the "Passenger Airbag Off" indicatorblinks continuously when an adult or achild heavier than 56.4 pounds(25.6 kg)sits in the front passenger seat and fas-tens the seat belt normally, have thatperson sit in the rear seat. If this occurs,have the Occupant Classification® sys-tem checked by an authorized Hyundaidealer as soon as possible.

o If you change the weight on the seat, the"Passenger Airbag Off" indicator may beturned on or off in a few seconds. Thiscould result in the malfunction of theOccupant Classification® system.

o Do not modify or replace the front pas-senger seat. Don't place anything on orattach anything to the front passengerseat. These can adversely affect the Oc-cupant Classification® system.

o Do not sit on sharp objects such as toolswhen occupying the front passenger seat.These can adversely affect the occupantclassification system.

o Do not use accessory seat covers on thefront seats.

SRS Care

o The SRS is virtually maintenance free andthere are no parts you can safely service byyourself. The entire SRS system must beinspected by an authorized Hyundai dealer10 years after the date that the vehicle wasmanufactured.

o Any work on the SRS system, such asremoving, installing, repairing, or any workon the steering wheel or front seats must beperformed by a qualified Hyundai technician.Improper handling of the airbag system mayresult in serious personal injury.

!o For best protection from the side impact

airbag system and to avoid being injuredby the deploying side impact airbag,both front seat occupants should sit inan upright position with their feet on thefloor and the seat belt properly fastened.The driver's hands should be placed onthe steering wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00o'clock positions.The passenger's arms and hands shouldbe placed on their laps.

o Do not use any accessory seat covers.o Use of seat covers could reduce or prevent

the effectiveness of the system.o Do not install any accessories on the side

or near the side impact airbag.o Do not use excessive force on the side of

the seat.o Do not place any objects over the airbag or

between the airbag and yourself.o Do not place any objects (an umbrella,

bag, etc.) between the front door and thefront seat. Such objects may become dan-gerous projectiles and cause injury if thesupplemental side impact airbag inflates.

o To prevent unexpected deployment of theside impact air bag that may result inpersonal injury, avoid impact to the sideimpact airbag sensor when the ignitionkey is on.

WARNING:

WARNING:o The side impact airbag is supplemental

to the driver's and the passenger's seatbelt systems and is not a substitute forthem. Therefore your seat belts must beworn at all times while the vehicle is inmotion. The airbags deploy only in cer-tain side impact conditions severeenough to cause significant injury to thevehicle occupants.

o When you are using the air conditioningsystem, keep all windows closed to keep hotair out.

o When moving slowly, as in heavy traffic, shiftto a lower gear. This increases engine speed,which in turn increases the speed of the airconditioning compressor.

o On steep grades, turn the air conditioning offto avoid the possibility of the engine over-heating.

o During winter months or in periods when theair conditioning is not used regularly, run theair conditioning once every month for a fewminutes. This will help circulate the lubri-cants and keep your system in peak oper-ating condition.

FM reception

B750A01L

Obstructed areaIron bridges

FM broadcasts are transmitted at high frequen-cies 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 problem existswith your radio. The following conditions arenormal and do not indicate radio trouble:

AM broadcasts can be received at greaterdistances than FM broadcasts. This is becauseAM radio waves are transmitted at low frequen-cies. These long, low frequency radio wavescan follow the curvature of the earth rather thantravelling straight out into the atmosphere. Inaddition, they curve around obstructions so thatthey can provide better signal coverage.

B750A02A-AAT

How Car Audio Works

AM and FM radio signals are broadcast fromtransmitter towers located around your city.They are intercepted by the radio antenna onyour car. This signal is then received by theradio and sent to your car speakers.When a strong radio signal has reached yourvehicle, the precise engineering of your audiosystem ensures the best possible quality repro-duction. However, in some cases the signalcoming to your vehicle may not be strong andclear. This can be due to factors such as thedistance from the radio station, closeness ofother strong radio stations or the presence ofbuildings, bridges or other large obstructions inthe 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 beingreceived from several directions can causedistortion or fluttering. This can be caused bya direct and reflected signal from the samestation, or by signals from two stations withclose frequencies. If this occurs, selectanother station until the condition has passed.

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 andyour radio can disturb the signal causingstatic or fluttering noises to occur. Reducingthe treble level may lessen this effect until thedisturbance clears.

Using a cellular phone or a two-way radio

When a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle,noise may be produced from the audio equip-ment. This does not mean that something iswrong with the audio equipment. In such a case,use the cellular phone at a place as far aspossible from the audio equipment.

CAUTION:When using a communication system sucha cellular phone or a radio set inside thevehicle, a separate external antenna mustbe fitted. When a cellular phone or a radioset is used with an internal antenna alone,it may interfere with the vehicle's electricalsystem and adversely affect safe operationof the vehicle.

WARNING:Don't use a cellular phone when you aredriving. Stop at a safe place to use a cellularphone.

o Never leave a cassette inserted in the playerwhen not being played. This could damagethe tape player unit and the cassette tape.

o We strongly recommend against the use oftapes longer than C-60 (60 minutes total).Tapes such as C-120 or C-180 are very thinand do not perform as well in the automotiveenvironment.

o The playback head, capstan and pinch roll-ers will develop a coating of tape residue thatcan result in deterioration of sound quality,such as a wavering sound. They should becleaned monthly using a commercially avail-able head cleaning tape or special solutionavailable from audio specialty shops. Followthe supplier's directions carefully and neveroil any part of the tape player unit.

o Always be sure that the tape is tightly woundon its reel before inserting in the player.Rotate a pencil in the drive sprockets to windup any slack.

o Be sure that the cassette label is not looseor peeling off or tape ejection may be difficult.

o Never touch or soil the actual audio tapesurfaces.

o Keep all magnetized objects, such as elec-tric motors, speakers or transformers awayfrom your cassette tapes and tape playerunit.

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

o Avoid repeated fast reverse usage to replayone given tune or tape section. This cancause poor tape winding to occur, and even-tually cause excessive internal drag andpoor audio quality in the cassette. If thisoccurs, it can sometimes be corrected byfast winding the tape from end to end severaltimes. If this does not correct the problem, donot continue to use the tape in your vehicle.

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

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

o During cold weather, shifting may bedifficult 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 andit's hard to shift into 1st or R(Reverse),put the shift lever in N(Neutral) positionand release the clutch. Press the clutchpedal back down, and then shift into 1stor R(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 to fourthgear, caution should be taken not to inad-vertently press the gear shift lever sidewaysin such a manner that second gear is en-gaged. Such a drastic downshift may causethe engine speed to increase to the pointthat the tachometer will enter the red zone.Such over-revving of the engine may pos-sibly cause engine damage.

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. Thetransaxle can be damaged if you do not. Toshift into reverse, depress the clutch, movethe shift lever to neutral, wait three seconds,then shift 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 ve-hicle speed can cause the drive wheels tolose traction and the vehicle to go out ofcontrol.

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 personis significantly more likely to die than aperson wearing a seatbelt.

o Never exceed posted speed limits.

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).

C090D02A-AAT

o N (Neutral):

In the "N" position, the transaxle is in neutral,which means that no gears are engaged. Theengine can be started with the shift lever in "N"position, although this is not recommendedexcept if the engine stalls while the car ismoving.

C090Q01A-GAT

o 3 (Third gear):

Use for towing a trailer during hill climbing or touse engine braking downhill."3" automatically shifts between 1st, 2nd and3rd gears. This means that no shift-up to 4thgear is performed. However, the shift-up to 4thgear is done when the car speed exceeds acertain value to prevent the engine from over-revving. Manually move the selector to "D"when returning to normal driving condition.

NOTE:Depress the brake pedal and push thebutton when shifting.

Push the button when shifting.

The selector lever can be shifted freely.

The first few shifts on a new vehicle, or if thebattery has been disconnected, may be some-what abrupt. This is a normal condition, and theshifting sequence will adjust after shifts arecycled a few times by the T.C.M (TransaxleControl Module.)

!

C090B01A-AAT

The function of each position is as fol-lows:

o P (Park):

Use to hold the vehicle in place when parked 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.

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

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: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 shift-ing from "P" or "N", to "R", "D", "3", "2"or "L" position.

o Do not use the "P" (Park) position inplace of the parking brake. Always setthe parking brake, shift the transaxleinto "P" (Park) position and turn off theignition 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.See the maintenance schedule for theproper fluid recommendation.

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 isperformed. However, the shift-up to third gearis done when the car speed exceeds a certainvalue to prevent the engine from over-revving.Manually move the selector to "D" returning tonormal driving condition.

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 thevehicle has slowed enough for low gear toengage. Do not exceed 31 mph (50 km/h) in lowgear.

C090H01Y-AAT

NOTE:o For smooth and safe operation, depress

the brake pedal when shifting from "Neu-tral" position or "Park" position to aforward 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", "3", "2", "L" position to "P"position. The vehicle must be fullystopped to avoid transaxle damage.

10 GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES

!

!

C130A01A-AATC090N03A-AAT

Good Driving Practices

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

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

o Be sure the car is completely stopped 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 ve-hicle speed can cause the drive wheels tolose traction and the vehicle to go out ofcontrol.

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 personis significantly more likely to die than aperson wearing a seatbelt.

o Never exceed posted speed limits.

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!Your car will not stop as quickly if the brakesare wet. Wet brakes may cause the car topull to one side. To dry the brakes, apply thebrakes lightly until the braking action returnsto normal, taking care to keep the car undercontrol at all times. If the braking action doesnot return to normal, stop as soon as it is safeto do so and call your Hyundai dealer forassistance.

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 theoverdrive switch back on immediately after-ward.

WARNING:Nothing should be carried on top of theshelf panel behind the rear seat. If therewere an accident or a sudden stop, suchobjects could move forward and causedamage to the vehicle or injure the occu-pants.

11ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM(ABS)

o Don't coast down hills with the car out of gear.This is extremely hazardous. Keep the carin gear at all times, use the brakes to slowdown, then shift to a lower gear so that enginebraking will help you maintain a safe speed.

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 com-ponents.

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 be safeto do so, pull off the road and stop in a safeplace.

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 in firstor reverse gear (manual transaxle). If yourcar is facing downhill, turn the front wheelsinto the curb to help keep the car from rolling.If your car is facing uphill, turn the frontwheels away from the curb to help keep thecar from rolling. If there is no curb or if it isrequired by other conditions to keep the carfrom rolling, block the wheels.

o Under some conditions your parking brakecan freeze in the engaged position. This ismost likely to happen when there is anaccumulation of snow or ice around or nearthe rear brakes or if the brakes are wet. Ifthere is a risk that the parking brake mayfreeze, apply it only temporarily while you putthe gear selector lever in "P" (automatic) orin first or reverse gear (manual transaxle)and block the rear wheels so the car cannotroll. 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

(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 whilebraking. These conditions are normal andindicate that the anti-lock brake system isfunctioning properly.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

12 TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM(TCS)

!

C300A02Y-GAT

(If Installed)

On slippery road surfaces, the traction controlsystem (TCS) limits the drive wheels fromspinning excessively, thus helping the car toaccelerate. It also provides sufficient drivingforce and steering performance as the car turnsat accelerated speeds.

SLIP Control

Limits the drive wheels from spinning exces-sively during starting or while making acceler-ated turns on slippery roads to avoid losing thedriving force of the front wheels.

Driving hints

TCS does not actively apply brakes. Be sure todecelerate the car sufficiently before enteringcurves.

CAUTION:When the TCS indicator blinks, SLIP controlhas been activated. It also means that theroad is slippery or your car is acceleratingexcessively. In this situation, release footpressure from the accelerator pedal andmaintain moderate speed.

!

! WARNING:ABS will not prevent accidents due to im-proper or dangerous driving maneuvers.Even though vehicle control is improvedduring emergency braking, always main-tain a safe distance between you and ob-jects ahead. Vehicle speeds should alwaysbe reduced during extreme road condi-tions.The braking distance for cars equippedwith an anti-lock braking system may belonger than for those without it in thefollowing road conditions.During these conditions the vehicle shouldbe driven at reduced speeds.o Rough, gravel or snow-covered roads.o With tire chains installed.o On roads where the road surface is pit-

ted or has different surface height.

The safety features of an ABS equippedvehicle should not be tested by high speeddriving or cornering. This could endangerthe safety of yourself or others.

WARNING:Traction control is only a driving aid; allnormal precautions for driving in inclem-ent weather and on slippery driving sur-faces should be observed.

13DRIVING FOR ECONOMY

C140A01A-AAT

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 pos-sible. 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 alsoincrease wear on these components. Inaddition, 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 inflatedto the recommended pressure. Incorrectinflation, either too much or too little, resultsin unnecessary tire wear. Check the tirepressures at least once a month.

C310B01O-AAT

TCS ON/OFF Mode

When the TCS is running, the TCS indicator inthe instrument cluster will blink.If you turn the system off by pressing the TCSswitch, the TCS-OFF indicator will come on andstay on. In the TCS-OFF mode, the SLIP controlwill be deactivated. Adjust you driving accord-ingly. To turn the system back on, press theswitch again. The TCS-OFF indicator should gooff.

NOTE:1) The TCS mode will automatically be

turned ON after the engine is turned offand restarted.

2) When the traction control system isoperating properly, you can feel a slightpulsation in the vehicle. This is only theeffect of brake control and indicatesnothing unusual.

3) When the engine starts, a click is heardfrom the engine compartment; however,this is only the sound of traction controlbeing checked.

4) When moving out of the mud or freshsnow, pressing the accelerator pedalmay not cause the engine speed to in-crease due to TCS operation.

C310D01O-AAT

Indicators and Warning

The indicators should illuminate when the igni-tion key is turned to ON or START but shouldgo out after three seconds.If the indicators do not illuminate, or the TCS orTCS-OFF indicator does not go out after 3seconds, have it checked by an authorizeddealer.

Should there be any unusual conditions in thedevice while driving, TCS-OFF indicator illumi-nates as a warning.If TCS-OFF indicator illuminates, pull your carto a safe place and stop the engine.Then, start the engine again to check if the TCS-OFF indicator goes out.

If the indicator remains lit even after the enginehas been started, have your car checked by anauthorized Hyundai dealer.

NOTE:1) When the TCS-OFF indicator illuminates,

traction control is automatically deacti-vated for safety.

2) This warning function is not providedwhen the driver selects the TCS-OFFmode.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

14 SMOOTH CORNERING

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

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

Avoid braking or gear changing in corners,especially 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.

o Be sure that the wheels are aligned cor-rectly. Improper alignment can result fromhitting curbs or driving too fast over irregularsurfaces. Poor alignment causes faster tirewear and may also result in other problemsas well as 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,more frequent maintenance is required (seeSection 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 unnecessaryweight in your car. Weight reduces fueleconomy.

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.

15WINTER DRIVING

C160A01A-AAT

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,it is 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. Speeding, rapid accelera-tion, sudden brake applications, and sharpturns are potentially very hazardous practices.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 front and your vehicle. Also, applythe brake gently. It should be noted that installingtire chains on the tire will provide a greaterdriving force, but will not prevent side skids.

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

C160C01A-AAT

Use High Quality Ethylene GlycolCoolant

Your Hyundai is delivered with high qualityethylene glycol coolant in the cooling system. Itis the only type of coolant that should be usedbecause it helps prevent corrosion in the cool-ing system, lubricates the water pump andprevents freezing. Be sure to replace or replen-ish your coolant in accordance with the main-tenance schedule in Section 5. Before winter,have your coolant tested to assure that itsfreezing point is sufficient for the temperaturesanticipated during the winter.

C160D01A-AAT

Check Battery and Cables

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

C160E01A-AAT

Change to "Winter Weight" Oil if Neces-sary

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

C160F01A-AAT

Check Spark Plugs and Ignition System

Inspect your spark plugs as described in Sec-tion 6 and replace them if necessary. 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 anapproved de-icer fluid or glycerine into the keyopening. If a lock is covered with ice, squirt it withan approved de-icing fluid to remove the ice. Ifthe lock is frozen internally, you may be able tothaw it out by using a heated key. Handle theheated key with care to avoid injury.

C170A01A-AAT

HIGHER SPEED MOTORINGPre-Trip Inspections

1. Tires:Adjust the tire inflation pressures to specifica-tion. 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 inflationpressure shown on the tires.

2. Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil:High speed travel consumes more fuel thanurban 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.

C180A01A-AAT

USE OF LIGHTS

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

C160J01A-AAT

Don't Let Ice and Snow 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.

C160K01A-AAT

Carry Emergency Equipment

Depending on the severity of the weather whereyou drive your car, you should carry appropri-ate emergency equipment. Some of the itemsyou may want to carry include tire chains, towstraps or chains, flashlight, emergency flares,sand, a shovel, jumper cables, a window scraper,gloves, ground cloth, coveralls, a blanket, etc.

C160H01A-AAT

Use Approved Anti-Freeze in WindowWasher System

To keep the water in the window washer systemfrom freezing, add an approved anti-freezesolution 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.

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 brakesor if the brakes are wet. If there is a risk theparking brake may freeze, apply it only tempo-rarily while you put the gear selector lever in "P"(automatic) or in first or reverse gear (manualtransaxle) and block the rear wheels so the carcannot roll. Then release the parking brake.

17TRAILER OR VEHICLE TOWING

C190A02S-AAT

If you are considering towing with your car, youshould first check with your State's Departmentof Motor Vehicles to determine their legal re-quirements.Since laws vary from State to State, the require-ments for towing trailers, cars, other types ofvehicles, or apparatus may differ. Ask yourHyundai dealer for further details before towing.

CAUTION:Do not do any towing with your car duringits first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) in order toallow the engine to properly break in. Fail-ure to heed this caution may result in seri-ous engine or transaxle damage.

!

C190B01S-AAT

Trailer Hitches

Select the proper hitch and ball combination,making sure that it's location is compatible withthat of the trailer or vehicle being towed.Use a quality non-equalizing hitch which distrib-utes the tongue load uniformly throughout thechassis.

The hitch should be bolted securely to the carand installed by a qualified technician. DO NOTUSE A HITCH DESIGNED FOR TEMPORARYINSTALLATION AND NEVER USE ONE THATATTACHES ONLY TO THE BUMPER.

C190C03S-AAT

Trailer Brakes

If your trailer is equipped with a braking system,make sure it conforms to federal and/or localregulations and that it is properly installed andoperating correctly.

NOTE:If you tow a trailer or vehicle, your car willrequire more frequent maintenance due tothe additional load. See "Maintenance Un-der Severe Usage Conditions" on page 5-6.

C190D01S-AAT

Safety Chains

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

! CAUTION:o Never connect a trailer brake system

directly to the vehicle brake system.o When towing a trailer on steep grades (in

excess of 12%) pay close attention to theengine coolant temperature gauge toensure the engine does not overheat. Ifthe needle of the coolant temperaturegauge moves across the dial towards"H" (HOT), pull over and stop as soon asit is safe to do so, and allow the engineto idle until it cools down. You mayproceed once the engine has cooledsufficiently.

! WARNING:Improperly loading your car and trailer canseriously affect its steering and brakingperformance causing a crash which couldcause serious injury or death.

C190F01S-AAT

Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips

1. Before towing, check hitch and safety chainconnections as well as proper operation ofthe trailer running lights, brake lights, andturn signals.

2. Always drive your vehicle at a moderatespeed. (Less than 60 mph)

3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than normalconditions.

4. To maintain engine braking efficiency andelectrical charging performance, do not usefifth gear (manual transaxle) or overdrive(automatic transaxle).

5. Always secure items in the trailer to preventload shift while driving.

6. Check the condition and air pressure of alltires on the trailer and your car. Low tirepressure can seriously affect the handling.Also check the spare tire.

7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more af-fected by crosswind and buffeting.When being passed by a large vehicle, keepa constant speed and steer straight ahead.If there is too much wind buffeting slow downto get out of the other vehicle's air turbulence.

8. When parking your car and trailer, especiallyon a hill, be sure to follow all the normalprecautions. Turn your front wheel into thecurb, set the parking brake firmly, and put thetransaxle in 1st or Reverse (manual) or Park(automatic). In addition, place wheel chocksat each of the trailer's tires.

9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start yourvehicle and trailer moving, and then apply thetrailer brake controller by hand to be sure thebrakes are working. This lets you checkyour electrical connection at the same time.

10. During your trip, occasionally check to besure that the load is secure, and that thelights and any trailer brakes are still work-ing.

11. Avoid jerky starts, sudden acceleration orsudden stops.

12. Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.13. Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long

or too frequently. This could cause thebrakes to overheat, resulting in reducedbraking efficiency.

!

14. When going down a hill, shift into a lowergear and use the engine braking effect.When ascending a long grade, downshiftthe transaxle to a lower gear and reducespeed to reduce chances of engine over-loading and/or overheating.

15. If you have to stop while going uphill, do nothold the vehicle in place by pressing on theaccelerator. This can cause the automatictransaxle to overheat. Use the parkingbrake or footbrake.

NOTE:When towing check transaxle fluid morefrequently.

CAUTION:If overheating should occur when towing,(the temperature gauge reads near red zone),taking the following action may reduce oreliminate the problem.

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

5. If the water pump drive belt is broken orengine coolant is leaking out, stop the engineimmediately and call the nearest Hyundaidealer for assistance.

WARNING:Do not remove the radiator cap when theengine is hot. This can allow coolant to beblown out of the opening and cause seri-ous burns.

6. If you cannot find the cause of the overheat-ing, wait until the engine temperature hasreturned to normal. Then, if coolant has beenlost, carefully add coolant to the reservoir(page 6-9) 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 overheatinghappens again, call a Hyundai dealer forassistance.

D030A01A-AAT

If your temperature gauge indicates overheat-ing, you experience a loss of power, or hear loudpinging or knocking and the engine is probablytoo hot. If this happens and, 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 conditioning is on,turn it off.

4 CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE

2 TO HELP PREVENT CORROSIONCORROSION PROTECTION

E020A01A-AAT

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

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.

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

Protecting Your Hyundai fromCorrosion

By using the most advanced design and con-struction practices to combat corrosion,Hyundai produces cars of the highest quality,However, this is only part of the job. To achievethe long-term corrosion resistance yourHyundai can deliver, the owner's cooperationand assistance is also required. E010D01A-AAT

Moisture Breeds Corrosion

Moisture creates the conditions in which corro-sion is most likely to occur. For example, cor-rosion is accelerated by high humidity, particu-larly when temperatures are just above freez-ing. In such conditions, the corrosive material iskept in contact with the car surfaces by mois-ture that is slow to evaporate.Mud is particularly corrosive because it is slowto dry and holds moisture in contact with thevehicle. Although the mud appears to be dry, itcan still retain the moisture and promote corro-sion.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 to thevisible surfaces but particularly to the undersideof the car.

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 isover.

o When cleaning underneath the car, giveparticular attention to the components underthe fenders and other areas that are hiddenfrom view. Do a thorough job; just dampeningthe accumulated mud rather than washing itaway will accelerate corrosion rather thanprevent it. Water under high pressure andsteam are particularly effective in removingaccumulated mud and corrosive materials.

4CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE

3WASHING AND WAXING

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.

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 cleaned up,flushed with clear water and thoroughly dried.

E020D01A-AAT

Keep Paint and Trim in Good Condition

Scratches or chips in the finish should becovered with "touch-up" paint as soon as pos-sible to reduce the possibility of corrosion. Ifbare metal is showing through, the attention ofa qualified body and paint shop is recommended.

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 youwash your car in the garage or drive it into thegarage when it is still wet or covered with snow,ice or mud. Even a heated garage can contrib-ute to corrosion unless it is well ventilated somoisture is dispersed.

E030A01A-AAT

Washing 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 remove dustand loose dirt. In winter, or if you have driventhrough mud or muddy water, be sure to thor-oughly clean the underside as well. Use a harddirect stream of water to remove accumulationsof mud or corrosive materials. Use a goodquality car-washing solution and follow themanufacturer's directions on the package.These are available at your Hyundai dealer orauto parts outlet. Don't use strong householddetergents, gasoline, strong solvents or abra-sive cleaning powders as these may damagethe finish.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.

E030C01A-AAT

Polishing and Waxing

Always wash and dry the car before polishingor waxing or using a combination cleaner andwax. Use a good quality commercial productand follow the manufacturer's directions on thecontainer. Polish and wax the bright trim piecesas well as the paint.

E030B01A-AAT

Spot Cleaning

Don't use gasoline, strong solvents or corro-sive cleaning agents. These can damage thefinish of the car. To remove road tar, useturpentine on a clean, soft cloth or commerciallyavailable bug and tar remover. Be gentle.To remove dead insects or tree sap, use warmwater and mild soap or car-washing solution.Soak the spot and rub gently. If the paint has lostits luster, use a commercial car-cleaning polish.

To clean whitewall tires, use a stiff brush orsoapy 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 attentionto the removal of salt, mud and other sub-stances on the underside of the splashboardsof the car. Make sure that the outlets and theunderside of the doors are open. Paint damagecan be caused by small accumulation of tar,industrial precipitation, tree resin, insects andbird droppings, when not removed immediately.If water alone is not strong enough to remove theaccumulated dirt, use a mild car washing solu-tion. Be sure to rinse the surface after washingto remove the solution. Never allow the solutionto dry on the painted surfaces.

5CLEANING THE INTERIOR

E040C01A-AAT

Cleaning the Carpets

Use a foam-type carpet cleaner. Cleaners ofthis type are available in aerosol cans in liquidform or powder. Read the instructions andfollow them exactly. Using a vacuum cleanerwith the appropriate attachment, remove asmuch dirt from the carpets as possible. Applythe foam following the manufacturer's direc-tions, then rub in overlapping circles. Do not addwater. These cleaners work best when thecarpet is kept as dry as possible.

E040A01A-AAT

To Clean the Vinyl Upholstery

To clean the vinyl upholstery, first remove loosedirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner. Then applya solution of mild soap or detergent and waterusing a clean sponge or soft cloth. Allow this tostay on the surface to loosen the dirt, then wipewith a clean damp sponge or cloth. If all the dirtstains are not removed, repeat this procedureuntil the upholstery is clean. Do not use gaso-line, solvent, paint thinner or other strong clean-ers.

E030E01A-AAT

Maintaining Bumpers

Special precautions must be observed to pre-serve the appearance of the bumpers on yourHyundai. They are:

o Be careful not to spill battery electrolyte orhydraulic brake fluid on the bumpers. If youdo, wash it off immediately with clear water.

o Be gentle when cleaning the bumper sur-faces. They are made of soft plastic and thesurface can be damaged if mistreated. Donot use abrasive cleaners. Use warm waterand mild soap or car-washing solution.

o Do not expose the bumpers to high tem-peratures. For example, if you have your carrepainted, do not leave the bumpers on thecar if the car is going to be placed in a high-temperature paint booth.

E030D01A-AAT

When to Wax Again

You should polish and wax the car again whenwater no longer beads on a clean surface butspreads out over a larger area.

E040E01A-AAT

Cleaning the Windows

You may use any household window cleaner onthe windows. However, when cleaning the in-side of the rear window be careful not to damagethe rear window defroster wiring.

E040D01A-AAT

Cleaning the Seat Belts

To clean the seat belts, use a cloth or spongewith mild soap or detergent and warm water. Donot use strong detergents, dye, bleach or abra-sive materials on the seat belts as this mayweaken the fabric.While cleaning the belts, inspect them for ex-cessive wear, cuts, fraying or other signs ofdamage and replace them if necessary.

To Check the Coolant Level

The coolant level can be seen on the side of theplastic coolant reservoir. The level of the cool-ant should be between the "LOW" and "FULL"lines on the reservoir when the engine is cold.If the level 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.

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.Additional corrosion inhibitors or additives shouldnot be used. The cooling system must bemaintained with the correct concentration andtype of engine coolant to prevent freezing andcorrosion. Never allow the concentration ofantifreeze to exceed the 60% level or go belowthe 35% level, or damage to the cooling systemmay result. For proper concentration whenadding or replacing the engine coolant, refer tothe following table.

Changing the Spark Plugs

You will find it easier to change spark plugs if theengine is cold. Always change one spark plugat a time. This helps avoid getting the wiresmixed up.

1. Remove the center cover on the enginerocker cover.

2. Using a clean cloth, remove any dirt that hasaccumulated around the spark plug so itcannot fall into the cylinder when the sparkplug is removed.

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.

HGK256

! WARNING:It is recommended that the engine be coolor cold when changing the spark plugs. Ifthe engine is hot, you could burn yourselfon the insulated connector, the spark plugor the engine itself.

4. When preparing to remove the old sparkplug, guide the socket down over the sparkplug, being careful not to damage the ce-ramic insulator.

5. To remove the spark plug, turn the wrenchhandle in a counterclockwise direction.

6. To replace the new spark plug, guide thesocket down over the spark plug, beingcareful not to damage the ceramic insulator.

NOTE:Spark plugs should be tightened firmly.Over-tightening can damage the threads inthe aluminum cylinder head. Leaving themtoo loose can cause the spark plugs to getvery hot and possibly result in damage tothe engine.

7. Replace the cable by pushing the insulatedconnector directly down onto the electrode.Check to be sure it has snapped into placeand can't fall off.

Replacing Accessory FuseCAUTION:

When replacing a fusible link, never useanything but a new fusible link with thesame or lower amperage rating. Never usea piece of wire or a higher-rated fusible link.This could result in serious damage andcreate a fire hazard.

The fuse box for the lights and other electricalaccessories will be found in the backside of multibox located in the left side of driver. Inside thebox you will find a list showing the circuitsprotected by each fuse.If any of your car's lights or other electricalaccessories stop working, a blown fuse couldbe the reason. If the fuse has burned out, youwill see that the metal strip inside the fuse hasburned through. If you suspect a blown fuse,follow this procedure:

H010D01A-AAT

3. Exhaust Emission Control System

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

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 fresh filtered air tothe crankcase through the air intake hose.Inside the crankcase, the fresh air mixes withblow-by gases, which then pass through thePCV valve and into the induction system.

H010A01A-AAT

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.

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 controlsolenoid valve.

Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)

The purge control solenoid valve is controlledby the 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.

H010C01S-AAT

2. Evaporative Emission Control(Including ORVR: Onboard RefuelingVapor 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 theatmosphere.)

7EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS

3CATALYTIC CONVERTER

!! 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, igni-tion or multiport electronic fuel injec-tion.

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 periodslonger than 10 minutes.

o The vehicle should not be pushed orpulled to get started. This may cause thecatalytic converter to overheat and cre-ate a 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 converteror any other part of the exhaust system.

o Remember that your Hyundai dealer isyour best source of assistance.

H020A01S-AAT

All Hyundai vehicles are equipped with one ortwo monolith type three-way catalytic convert-ers to reduce the carbon monoxide, hydrocar-bons and nitrogen oxides contained in the ex-haust gas. Exhaust gases passing through thecatalytic converter cause it to operate at a veryhigh temperature. The introduction of largeamounts of unburned gasoline into the exhaustmay cause the catalytic converter to overheatand create a fire hazard. This risk may bereduced by observing the following:

WARNING: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.

SNOW TIRES

If you equip your car with snow tires, they shouldbe the same size and have the same loadcapacity as the original tires. Snow tires shouldbe installed on all four wheels; otherwise, poorhandling 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 driverside center pillar outer panel, or up to themaximum pressure shown on the tire sidewallwhichever is less.Do not drive faster than 75 mph (120 km/h)when your car is equipped with snow tires.

I030A02S-AAT

RECOMMENDED INFLATIONPRESSURES

The tire label located on the driver's side centerpillar outer panel gives the tire pressures rec-ommended for your vehicle.

These pressures were chosen to provide themost satisfactory combination of ride comfort,tire wear and stability under normal conditions.Tire pressures should be checked at leastmonthly. Proper tire inflation pressures shouldbe maintained for these reasons:

o Lower-than-recommended tire pressurescause uneven tread wear and poor handling.

o Higher-than-recommended tire pressuresincrease the chance of damage from im-pacts and cause uneven tread wear.

CAUTION:Always observe the following:

o Check pressures when the tires are cold.That is, after the car has been parked forat least three hours and hasn't beendriven more than one mile or 1.6 km sincestarting up.

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

o Never overload your car. Be especiallycareful about overloading if you equipyour car with a luggage rack or car topcarrier.

TIRE ROTATION

Tires should be rotated every 7,500 miles(12,000 km). If you notice that tires are wearingunevenly between rotations, have the carchecked by a Hyundai dealer so the cause maybe corrected.After rotating, adjust the tire pressures and besure to check the wheel nut torque.

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 maycause unusual handling characteristicsthat could result in death, serious injury,or property damage.

TIRE TRACTION

Tire traction can be reduced if you drive on worntires, tires that are improperly inflated or onslippery road surfaces. Tires should be re-placed when tread wear indicators appear. Toreduce the possibility of losing control, slowdown whenever there is rain, snow or ice on theroad.

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.

I090A01A-AAT

WHEN TO REPLACE TIRES

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 must meetHyundai specification.

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

Worn-out tires can cause loss of brakingeffectiveness, steering control and trac-tion. When replacing tires, never mixradial and bias ply tires on the same car.If you replace radial tires with bias-plytires, they must be installed in sets offour.

o Using tires and wheels of other than therecommended sizes could cause un-usual handling characteristics that couldcause death, serious injury, or propertydamage.

o Wheels that do not meet Hyundai's di-mensional specifications may fit poorlyand result in damage to the vehicle,including broken wheel studs.
