CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
1- 2 YB020A1-E BEFORE ENTERING THE VEHICLE
o Ensure that all windows, mirrors and lamps are clean.
o Check condition of all tyres.
o Ensure that no fluid leaks are evident.
o Ensure that the area around the vehicle is clear before driving off.
YB020B1-E AFTER ENTERING THE VEHICLE
o Ensure that all occupants fasten and cor- rectly adjust seat belts.
o Ensure that seat and headrestraint positions are adjusted for optimum safety, control and comfort.
o Adjust interior and exterior rear view mir- rors.
o Verify correct operation of lamps, horn and other electrical equipment.
o Ensure that warning lamps illuminate when ignition is turned on.
NOTE: Fluid levels such as engine oil, engine cool- ant, brake and windscreen washer fluidshould be checked daily or at each refuel-ling, whichever occurs sooner. B020A01FC-EAT RUNNING IN YOUR NEW HYUNDAIThe longevity and performance of the vehicle are greatly affected by the care exercised dur-ing the first 1000 miles of motoring. Because ofmodern manufacturing techniques, rigid guide-lines regarding maximum road speeds havebecome unnecessary. However, certain pre-cautions should be observed in order to obtainthe best possible performance and useful lifefrom the vehicle.
1) Do not race the engine without a load (i.e revving the engine in neutral).
2) During the first 500 miles the maximum engine speed should be restricted to 3000rpm and gradually increased thereafter.
3) Avoid prolonged constant speed operation. The internal components of the engine willbecome run-in more quickly if the operation
speed is varied during the running in period.
4) Never allow the engine to labour. Use the gearbox freely and avoid large throttle open-ings when the engine speed is below 1500rpm.
5) Avoid rapid acceleration and maximum throttle openings.
6) Avoid harsh braking during the first 100 miles of urban motoring or 1000 miles ofmotorway driving to allow the friction facingsof the brake pads and shoes to bed againstthe discs and drums properly.
7) No trailer towing should be undertaken dur- ing the running-in period. B880A01HP-EAT IMMOBILISER SYSTEM

Low Oil Pressure Warning Light
CAUTION:
If the oil pressure warning light stays onwhilst the engine is running, serious enginedamage may result. The oil pressure warninglight comes on whenever there is insufficient oil pressure. In normal operation, it should come on when the ignition switch is turnedon, then go out when the engine is started. If the oil pressure warning light stays on
whilst the engine is running, there is a seri-ous malfunction.
If this happens, stop the car as soon as it is
safe to do so, turn off the engine and checkthe oil level. If the oil level is low, fill engineoil to the proper level and start the engineagain. If the light stays on with the enginerunning, turn the engine off immediately.

broken, or missing whilst the vehicle is driv- ing, there may be a serious malfunction,engine could overheat because this belt alsodrives the water pump.
B260Q01HP-EAT
Cruise Indicator Light (Not all models)
The cruise indicator light in the instrument clus- ter is illuminated only when the vehicle cruisingspeed has been set using the control switch onthe steering wheel. The indicator light does not illuminate when the main cruise control switch is activated.Information on the use of cruise control may befound on page 1-60.
The brake fluid level warning light indicates that
the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinderis low and hydraulic brake fluid conforming toDOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications should beadded. After adding fluid, if no other trouble isfound, the car should be immediately and care-fully driven to a Hyundai dealer for inspection.If further trouble is experienced, the vehicleshould not be driven at all but taken to a dealerby a professional towing service or some othersafe method.
Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-diagonal
braking systems. This means you still havebraking on two wheels even if one of the dualsystems should fail. With only one of the dualsystems working, more than normal pedal traveland greater pedal pressure are required to stopthe car. Also, the car will not stop in as short adistance with only half of the brake systemworking. If the brakes fail whilst you are driving,shift to a lower gear for additional engine brak-ing and stop the car as soon as it is safe to doso.

2- 2 C020A01A-EAT
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
Before you start the engine, you should always:
1. Look around the vehicle to be sure there are no flat tyres, puddles of oil or water or other indications of possible trouble.
2. After entering the car, check to be sure the parking brake is engaged.
3. Check that all windows, and lights are clean.
4. Check that the interior and exterior mirrors are clean and in position.
5. Check your seat, seatback and headrest to be sure they are in their proper positions.
6. Close all the doors.
7. Fasten your seat belt and be sure that all other occupants have fastened theirs.
8. Turn off all lights and accessories that are not needed.
9. When you turn the ignition switch to "ON" check that all appropriate warning lights are operating and that you have sufficient fuel.
10.Check the operation of warning lights and all bulbs when key is in the "ON" position. C030A01HP-EAT COMBINATION IGNITION SWITCH AND STEERING LOCK To Start the Engine
o If your Hyundai is equipped with a manual
transmission, place the shift lever in neutral and depress the clutch pedal fully.
o If your Hyundai has an automatic transmis- sion, place the shift lever in "P" (park).
o To start the engine, insert the ignition key and turn it to the "START" position. Releaseit as soon as the engine starts. Do not holdthe key in the "START" position for morethat 15 seconds.
NOTE: For safety, the engine will not start if the shift lever is not in "P" or "N" position(Automatic Transmission). SC050A1-E

FUEL ECONOMY
The following suggestions are made to assist in
achieving the greatest degree of fuel economy.
o Maintaining a constant check on fuel con- sumption will enable the most economical use pattern and driving style to be adopted.
o Avoid using the vehicle for very short jour- neys if possible, particularly when a coldstart is involved.
o Ensure that tyre pressures are maintained at the correct level.
o Use only the recommended grade of fuel.
o Avoid carrying unnecessary weight, and if a roof rack is in use, remove it as soon as possible after use.
o Anticipate the road and conditions ahead to enable adjustments in speed to be madesmoothly. Avoid heavy acceleration andsharp braking.
o Avoid cruising at unnecessary high speeds.
o Always ensure that the periodic maintenance services are performed by a Hyundai dealer at the time and/or mileage intervals speci-fied.
o Use the air conditioner only when neces- sary. HPC090A2-E MANUAL TRANSMISSION
The five speed fully synchronized transmission
is controlled by a floor mounted shift lever upon which the shift pattern is indicated. It is impor-tant that when changing gear, the clutch pedalis fully depressed to avoid transmission dam-age. CAUTION:
o Do not attempt to engage reverse gear when the car is in motion.
o To avoid damaging the selector mecha- nism, do not use the gear shift lever as a hand rest. Release the lever immediatelythe shift is completed.
o To avoid premature clutch wear, do not use the clutch pedal as a foot rest, anddo not hold the vehicle on a gradientusing the clutch.

STARTING AND STOPPING THE EN- GINE FOR TURBO CHARGER INTER- COOLER (Diesel Engine)
(1) Do not race the engine or sudden accelerate
the engine immediately after starting it. If the engine is cold, allow the engine to idle forseveral seconds before it is driven to ensuresufficient lubrication of the turbo chargerunit.
(2) After high speed or extended driving, requir- ing a heavy engine load, the engine shouldbe allowed to idle, as shown in the chartbelow, before turning it off. This idle time will allow the turbo charger to cool prior to shutting the engine off.
Required Idle Time
High speed driving Driving Condition

Up to 62 mph
Up to 50 mph
Steep mountain slopes or contin-
ued driving in excess of 62 mphAbout 2 minutes
WARNING: Do not turn the engine off immediately after
it has been subjected to a heavy load. Doingso may cause severe damage to the engineor turbo charger unit.
