INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
B270A01A-AATBRAKE PAD WEAR WARNING
SOUNDThe front disc brake pads have wear indicators
that should make a high-pitched squealing or
scraping noise when new pads are needed. The
sound may come and go or be heard all the time
when the vehicle is moving. It may also be
heard when the brake pedal is pushed down
firmly. Expensive rotor damage will result if the
worn pads are not replaced. See your Hyundai
dealer immediately.B900A01A-AATLIGHTS ON WARNING SOUNDThe warning chime sounds when the tail lights
are on and the driver side door is open. This
prevents the battery from discharging by
warning you when the car is left with the tail
lights on. The chime sounds until the tail lights
are turned off.
B280A01A-AATFUEL GAUGEThe needle on the gauge indicates the ap-
proximate fuel level in the fuel tank. The fuel
capacity is given in Section 9.

CAUTION:
The engine should not be raced to such a
speed that the needle enters the red zone on
the tachometer face. This can cause severe
engine damage and may void your war-
ranty.
!
The needle on the engine coolant temperature
gauge should stay in the normal range. The
normal range is approximately in the middle
between "H" and "C". If it moves across the
dial to "H" (Hot), pull over and stop as soon as
possible and turn off the engine. Then open the
hood and, after the engine has cooled, check
the coolant level and the water pump drive belt.
If you suspect cooling system trouble, have
your cooling system checked by a Hyundai
dealer as soon as possible.

C160D01A-AATCheck Battery and CablesWinter puts additional burdens on the battery
system. Visually inspect the battery and cables
as described in Section 6. The level of charge in
your battery can be checked by your Hyundai
dealer or a service station.
C160E01A-AATChange to "Winter Weight" Oil if
NecessaryIn some climates it is recommended that a lower
viscosity "winter weight" oil be used during cold
weather. See Section 9 for recommendations. If
you aren't sure what weight oil you should use,
consult your Hyundai dealer.
C160C01A-AATUse High Quality Ethylene Glycol
CoolantYour Hyundai is delivered with high quality eth-
ylene glycol coolant in the cooling system. It is
the only type of coolant that should be used
because it helps prevent corrosion in the cooling
system, lubricates the water pump and prevents
freezing. Be sure to replace or replenish your
coolant in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in Section 5. Before winter, have your
coolant tested to assure that its freezing point is
sufficient for the temperatures anticipated dur-
ing the winter.
C160H01A-AATUse Approved Anti-Freeze in Window
Washer SystemTo keep the water in the window washer system
from freezing, add an approved anti-freeze so-
lution in accordance with instructions on the
container. Window washer anti-freeze is avail-
able from Hyundai dealers and most auto parts
outlets. Do not use engine coolant or other types
of anti-freeze as these may damage the finish.
C160F01A-AATCheck Spark Plugs and Ignition
SystemInspect your spark plugs as described in Sec-
tion 6 and replace them if necessary. Also
check all ignition wiring and components to be
sure they are not cracked, worn or damaged in
any way.
C160G01A-AATTo Keep Locks from FreezingTo keep the locks from freezing, squirt an ap-
proved de-icer fluid or glycerine into the key
opening. If a lock is covered with ice, squirt it
with an approved de-icing fluid to remove the
ice. If the lock is frozen internally, you may be
able to thaw it out by using a heated key. Handle
the heated key with care to avoid injury.

HIGHER SPEED MOTORING
C160I01A-AATDon't Let Your Parking Brake FreezeUnder some conditions your parking brake can
freeze in the engaged position. This is most
likely to happen when there is an accumulation
of snow or ice around or near the rear brakes or
if the brakes are wet. If you think the parking
brake may freeze, apply it only temporarily while
you put the gear selector lever in "P" (automatic)
or in first or reverse gear (manual transaxle) and
block the rear wheels so the car cannot roll.
Then release the parking brake.
C160K01A-AATCarry Emergency EquipmentDepending on the severity of the weather where
you drive your car, you should carry appropriate
emergency equipment. Some of the items you
may want to carry include tire chains, tow straps
or chains, flashlight, emergency flares, sand, a
shovel, jumper cables, a window scraper, gloves,
ground cloth, coveralls, a blanket, etc.
C160J01A-AATDon't Let Ice and Snow Accumulate
UnderneathUnder some conditions, snow and ice can build
up under the fenders and interfere with the
steering. When driving in severe winter condi-
tions where this may happen, you should peri-
odically check underneath the car to be sure the
movement of the front wheels and the steering
components is not obstructed.
C170A01A-AATPre-Trip Inspections1. Tires:
Adjust the tire inflation pressures for highway
driving. Low tire inflation pressures will result in
overheating and possible failure of the tires.
Avoid using worn or damaged tires which may
result 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 more fuel than
urban motoring. Do not forget to check both
engine coolant and engine oil.
3. Drive belt:
A loose or damaged drive belt may result in
overheating of the engine.

34WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
!!
WARNING:
While the engine is running, keep hands,
long hair and clothing away from moving
parts such as the fan and drive belts to
prevent injury.
D030A02A-AATIf your temperature gauge indicates overheat-
ing, you experience a loss of power, or hear loud
pinging or knocking, the engine is probably too
hot. If this happens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P" (auto-
matic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set
the parking brake. If the air conditioner is on,
turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the car or
steam is coming out from the hood, stop the
engine. Do not open the hood until the cool-
ant has stopped running or the steaming has
stopped. If there is no visible loss of coolant
and no steam, leave the engine running and
check to be sure the engine cooling fan is
operating. If the fan is not running, turn the
engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is
missing. If it is not missing, check to see that
it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be
satisfactory, check for coolant leaking from
the radiator, hoses or under the car. (If the air
conditioner had been in use, it is normal for
cold water to be draining from it when you
stop).5. If the water pump drive belt is broken or
coolant 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 the
engine is hot. This may allow coolant to be
blown out of the opening and cause serious
burns.
6. If you cannot find the cause of the overheat-
ing, wait until the engine temperature has
returned to normal. Then, if coolant has been
lost, carefully add water to the reservoir
(Page 6-7) to bring the fluid level in the
reservoir 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. Then attach the other end of that cable to a
solid metal part of the engine away from the
battery. Do not connect the cable to any
moving part.
4. Start the engine in the car with the booster
battery and let it run for a few minutes. This
will help to assure that the booster battery is
fully charged. During the jumping operation,
run the engine in this vehicle at about 2000
rpm.
5. Start the engine in the car with the dis-
charged battery using the normal starting
procedure. After the engine starts, leave the
jumper cables connected and let the engine
run at fast idle or about 2000 rpm for several
minutes.
6. Carefully remove the jumper cables in the
reverse order of attachment.
If you do not know why your battery became
discharged (because the lights were left on,
etc.), have the charging system checked by
your Hyundai dealer.

SPARE TIRE
Spare Tire PressureD040A01A-AATThe following instructions for the tem-
porary spare tire should be observed:
1. Check inflation pressure as soon
as is practical after installing the
spare tire, and adjust to the speci-
fied pressure. The tire pressure
should be periodically checked and
maintained at the specified pres-
sure while the tire is stored.
!
Tire Size
Inflation Pressure
T105/70D(R)14
60 psi (420 kPa)
CAUTION:
Serious loss of coolant indicates there is a
leak in the cooling system and this should
be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundai
dealer.
3. Continuous use at speeds of over
50 mph (80 km/h) is not recom-
mended.
4. As the temporary spare tire is spe-
cifically designed for your car, it
should not be used on any other
vehicle.
5. The temporary spare tire should
not be used on any other wheels,
nor should standard tires, snow
tires, wheel covers or trim rings be
used with the temporary spare
wheel. If such use is attempted,
damage to these items or other car
components may occur.
6. The temporary spare tire pressure
should be checked once a month
while the tire is stored. 2. The spare tire should only be used
temporarily and should be returned
to the luggage compartment as
soon as the original tire can be
repaired or replaced.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS2
MAINTENANCE INTERVALSF010B01A-AATMaintenance RequirementsThe maintenance required for your Hyundai can
be divided into three main areas:
o Specified scheduled procedures
o General checks
o Do-it-yourself maintenanceF010A01A-AATService RequirementsTo ensure that you receive the greatest number
of miles of satisfying operation from your
Hyundai, certain maintenance procedures must
be performed. Although careful design and engi-
neering have reduced these to a minimum,
those that are required are of the utmost impor-
tance.
It is your responsibility to have these mainte-
nance procedures performed to comply with the
terms of the warranties covering your new
Hyundai. The Owner's Handbook supplied with
your new vehicle provides further information
about these warranties.
F010D01A-AATGeneral ChecksThese are the regular checks you should per-
form when you drive your Hyundai or you fill the
fuel tank. A list of these items will be found on
page 6-3.
F010C01A-AATSpecified Scheduled ProceduresThese are the procedures such as inspections,
adjustments and replacements that are listed in
the maintenance charts starting on page 5-4.
These procedures must be performed at the
intervals shown in the maintenance schedule to
assure that your warranty remains in effect.
Although it is strongly recommended that they
be performed by the factory-trained or distribu-
tor-trained technicians at your Hyundai dealer,
these procedures may be performed at any
qualified service facility.
It is suggested that genuine Hyundai service
parts be used for any required repairs or re-
placements. Other parts of equivalent quality
such as engine oil, engine coolant, manual or
auto transaxle oil, brake fluid and so on which
are not supplied by Hyundai Motor Company or
its distributor may be used without affecting your
warranty coverage but you should always be
sure these are equivalent to the quality of the
original Hyundai parts. Your Owner's Handbook
provides further information about your warranty
coverage.
F010E01A-AATDo-It-Yourself MaintenanceIf you are mechanically inclined, own a few tools
that are required and want to take the time to do
so, you can inspect and service a number of
items. For more information about doing it your-
self, see Section 6.
