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.

defects and reproductive harm. In addi-
tion, certain fluids contained in vehicles
and certain products of component
wear contain or emit chemicals known
to the State of California to cause can-
cer and birth defects or other reproduc-

C050B02A-AATNormal Conditions:The Starting Procedure:
1. Insert key, and fasten the seat belt.
2. Depress the clutch pedal fully and
place the gearshift lever (manual
transaxle) in neutral or the selector
lever (automatic transaxle) in "P" (park)
position.

transaxle equipped vehicle will not
start unless the clutch pedal is fully
depressed. On a manual transaxle
equipped vehicle that can be started
without depressing the clutch,
there is the potential to cause damage
to the vehicle or injury to someone
inside or outside the vehicle as a result
of the forward or backward movement
of the vehicle that will occur if the clutch
is not depressed when the vehicle is
started.

NOTE:o To shift into reverse, rest the lever
in neutral for at least 3 seconds after
your car is completely stopped. Then
move the lever into the reverse po-
sition.
o During cold weather, shifting may be
difficult until the transaxle lubricant
has warmed up. This is normal and
not harmful to the transaxle.
o If you've come to a complete stop
and it's hard to shift into 1
st or
R(Reverse), put the shift lever in
N(Neutral) position and release the
clutch. Press the clutch pedal back
down, and then shift into 1st or
R(Reverse) gear position.
o Do not use the shift lever as a
handrest during driving, as this can
result in premature wear of the
transaxle shift forks.
OPERATING THE MANUAL
TRANSAXLEC070A01MC-GATYour Hyundai's manual transaxle has
five forward gears and one reverse gear.
This shift pattern is also imprinted on the
shift knob. The transaxle is fully synchro-
nized in all forward gears so shifting to
either a higher or a lower gear is easily
accomplished.
When shifting into reverse gear, pull the
mis-shift prevention tab and shift into re-
verse gear position.

4. Turn the ignition key to the "Start" po-
sition and release it when the engine
starts.
After the engine has started, allow the
engine to run for 10 to 20 seconds
prior to placing the vehicle in gear.
The starter should not be operated for
more than 15 seconds at a time. Wait
15-30 seconds between starting at-
tempts to protect the starter from over-
heating.
WARNING:
Always fully depress the brake pedal
before and while shifting out of the "P"
Park position into another position to
avoid inadvertent motion of the vehicle
which could injure persons in or around
the car.

CAUTION:
o Do not downshift more than 2 gears
or downshift the gear when the en-
gine is running at high speed (5,000
RPM or higher). Such downshifting
may damage the engine.
o When downshifting from fifth gear to
fourth gear, caution should be taken
not to inadvertently press the gear
shift lever sideways in such a man-
ner that second gear is engaged.
Such a drastic downshift may cause
the engine speed to increase to the
point that the tachometer will enter
the red zone. Such over revving of
the engine may possibly cause en-
gine damage.The shift points as shown above are
recommended for optimum fuel economy
and performance.
C070E03A-AATRECOMMENDED SHIFT POINTS
C070B01A-AATUsing the ClutchThe clutch should be pressed all the way
to the floor before shifting, then released
slowly. Do not rest your foot on the clutch
pedal while driving. This can cause un-
necessary wear.
Do not partially engage the clutch to hold
the car on an incline. This causes unnec-
essary wear. Use the parking brake to
hold the car on an incline. Do not operate
the clutch pedal rapidly and repeatedly.
