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

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI92
o Keep all magnetized objects, such as elec-
tric motors, speakers or transformers away
from your cassette tapes and tape player
unit.
o Store cassettes in a cool, dry place with the
open side facing down to prevent dust from
settling in the cassette body.
o Avoid repeated fast reverse usage to re-
play one given tune or tape section. This
can cause poor tape winding to occur, and
eventually cause excessive internal drag
and poor audio quality in the cassette. If
this occurs, it can sometimes be corrected
by fast winding the tape from end to end
several times. If this does not correct the
problem, do not continue to use the tape in
your vehicle.Head

o Never leave a cassette inserted in the
player when not being played. This could
damage the tape player unit and the cas-
sette tape.
o We strongly recommend against the use of
tapes longer than C-60 (60 minutes total).
Tapes such as C-120 or C-180 are very thin
and do not perform as well in the automotive
environment.
o Be sure that the cassette label is not loose
or peeling off or tape ejection may be
difficult.
o Never touch or soil the actual audio tape
surfaces.o The playback head, capstan and pinch
rollers will develop a coating of tape residue
that can result in deterioration of sound
quality, such as a wavering sound. They
should be cleaned monthly using a com-
mercially available head cleaning tape or
special solution available from audio spe-
cialty shops. Follow the supplier's direc-
tions carefully and never oil any part of the
tape player unit.
o Always be sure that the tape is tightly
wound on its reel before inserting in the
player. Rotate a pencil in the drive sprock-
ets to wind up any slack.

WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
C010A03A-AATEngine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open the windows immediately.o Do not inhale exhaust fumes.Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and 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 a change
in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the car, have the exhaust system checked
as soon as possible by your Hyundai dealer.o Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the engine in your garage any
longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out.o Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car.If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an open area with the 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 are kept clear
of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.
