ing lights and gauges are functioning
properly before starting the engine.
WARNING:
Be sure that the clutch is fully de-
pressed when starting a manual
transaxle vehicle. Your manual
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.

o If your vehicle becomes stuck in
snow, mud, sand, etc., then you may
attempt to rock the vehicle free by
moving it forward and backward. Do
not attempt this procedure if people
or objects are anywhere near the
vehicle. During the rocking opera-
tion the vehicle may suddenly move
forward of backward as it becomes
unstuck, causing injury to nearby
people or damage to objects.
WARNING:
!
WARNING:
ABS will not prevent accidents due to
improper or dangerous driving maneu-
vers. Even though vehicle control is
improved during emergency braking,
always maintain a safe distance be-
tween you and objects ahead. Vehicle
speeds should always be reduced dur-
ing extreme road conditions.
The braking distance for cars equipped
with an anti-lock braking system may
be longer than for those without it in the
following road conditions.
During these conditions the veicle
should be driven at reduced speeds.
o Rough, gravel or snow-covered
roads.
o With tire chains installed.
o On roads where the road surface is
pitted or has different surface height.
These roads should be driven at re-
duced speeds. The safety features of
an ABS equipped vehicle should not be
tested by high speed driving or corner-
ing. This could endanger the safety of
yourself or others.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYS-
TEMC120A01MC-AAT(If Installed)The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is
designed to prevent wheel lock-up dur-
ing sudden braking or on hazardous road
surfaces. The ABS control module moni-
tors the wheel speed and controls the
pressure applied to each brake. Thus, in
emergency situations or on slick roads,
ABS will increase vehicle control during
braking.NOTE:o A click sound may be heard in the
engine compartment when the ve-
hicle begins to move after the engine
is started. These conditions are nor-
mal and indicate that the anti-lock
brake system is functioning prop-
erly.
o During ABS operation, a slight pulsa-
tion may be felt in the brake pedal
when the brakes are applied. Also, a
noise may be heard in the engine
compartment while braking. These
conditions are normal and indicate
that the anti-lock brake system is
functioning properly.

o After being parked, check to be sure
the parking brake is not engaged and
that the parking brake indicator light is
out before driving away.
o Driving through water may get the
brakes wet. They can also get wet
when the car is washed. Wet brakes
can be dangerous! Your car will not
stop as quickly if the brakes are wet.
Wet brakes may cause the car to pull
to one side. To dry the brakes, apply
the brakes lightly until the braking ac-
tion returns to normal, taking care to
keep the car under control at all times.
If the braking action does not return to
normal, stop as soon as it is safe to do
so and call your Hyundai dealer for
assistance.
o Don't coast down hills with the car out
of gear. This is extremely hazardous.
Keep the car in gear at all times, use
the brakes to slow down, then shift to
a lower gear so that engine braking
will help you maintain a safe speed.
o Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Resting
your foot on the brake pedal while
driving can be dangerous because it
can result in the brakes overheating
and losing their effectiveness. It also
increases the wear of the brake com-
ponents.o If a tire goes flat while you are driving,
apply the brakes gently and keep the
car pointed straight ahead while you
slow down. When you are moving
slowly enough for it to be safe to do so,
pull off the road and stop in a safe
place.
o If your car is equipped with an auto-
matic transaxle, don't let your car creep
forward. To avoid creeping forward,
keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal
when the car is stopped.
o Use caution when parking on a hill.
Firmly engage the parking brake and
place the gear selector lever in "P"
(automatic transaxle) or in first or re-
verse gear (manual transaxle). If your
car is facing downhill, turn the front
wheels into the curb to help keep the
car from rolling. If your car is facing
uphill, turn the front wheels away from
the curb to help keep the car from
rolling. If there is no curb or if it is
required by other conditions to keep
the car from rolling, block the wheels.
GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES!
C130A02A-AAT
WARNING:
o Whenever leaving vehicle or park-
ing, always set the parking brake as
far as possible and fully engage the
vehicle's transaxle into the park po-
sition. Vehicles not fully engaged in
park with the parking brake set are
at risk for moving inadvertently and
injuring yourself or others.
o All vehicles should always have the
parking brake fully engaged when
parking to avoid inadvertent move-
ment of the car which can injure
occupants or pedestrians.
o Nothing should be carried on top of
the shelf panel behind the rear seat.
If there were an accident or a sudden
stop, such objects could move for-
ward and cause damage to the ve-
hicle or injure the occupants.

DRIVING FOR ECONOMYC140A02A-AATYou can save fuel and get more miles
from your car if you follow these sugges-
tions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a mod-
erate rate. Don't make "jack-rabbit"
starts or full-throttle shifts and maintain
a steady cruising speed. Don't race
between stoplights. Try to adjust your
speed to that of the other traffic so you
don't have to change speeds unnec-
essarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever
possible. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from other vehicles so you can
avoid unnecessary braking. This also
reduces brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster
you drive, the more fuel your car uses.
Driving at a moderate speed, espe-
cially on the highway, is one of the
most effective ways to reduce fuel con-
sumption.
o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal.
This can increase fuel consumption
and also increase wear on these com-
ponents. In addition, driving with your
foot resting on the brake pedal may
cause the brakes to overheat, which
reduces their effectiveness and may
lead to more serious consequences. o Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged posi-
tion. 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 there is a risk that 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.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade
with the accelerator pedal. This can
cause the transaxle to overheat. Al-
ways use the brake pedal or parking
brake.o Take care of your tires. Keep them
inflated to the recommended pressure.
Incorrect inflation, either too much or
too little, results in unnecessary tire
wear. Check the tire pressures at least
once a month.
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned
correctly. Improper alignment can re-
sult from hitting curbs or driving too fast
over irregular surfaces. Poor align-
ment causes faster tire wear and may
also result in other problems as well as
greater fuel consumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For
better fuel economy and reduced main-
tenance costs, maintain your car in
accordance with the maintenance
schedule in Section 5. If you drive your
car in severe conditions, more fre-
quent maintenance is required (see
Section 5 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum
service, your Hyundai should be kept
clean and free of corrosive materials.
It is especially important that mud, dirt,
ice, etc. not be allowed to accumulate
on the underside of the car. This extra
weight can result in increased fuel
consumption and also contribute to
corrosion.

WINTER DRIVINGC160A01A-AATThe more severe weather conditions of
winter result in greater wear and other
problems. To minimize the problems of
winter driving, you should follow these
suggestions: o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary
weight in your car. Weight reduces fuel
economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than
necessary. If you are waiting (and not
in traffic), turn off your engine and
restart only when you're ready to go.
o Remember, your Hyundai does not
require extended warm-up. After the
engine has started, allow the engine to
run for 10 to 20 seconds prior to plac-
ing the vehicle in gear. In very cold
weather, however, give your engine a
slightly longer warm-up period.
o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine.
Lugging is driving too slowly in too
high a gear resulting in the engine
bucking. If this happens, shift to a lower
gear. Over-revving is racing the en-
gine beyond its safe limit. This can be
avoided by shifting at the recommend-
ed speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly.
The air conditioning system is oper-
ated by engine power so your fuel
economy is reduced when you use it.
SMOOTH CORNERINGC150A01A-AATAvoid braking or gear changing in cor-
ners, especially when roads are wet. Ide-
ally, corners should always be taken
under gentle acceleration. If you follow
these suggestions, tire wear will be held
to a minimum.

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.
C160H01A-AATUse Approved Anti-Freeze in Win-
dow Washer SystemTo keep the water in the window washer
system from freezing, add an approved
anti-freeze solution in accordance with
instructions on the container. Window
washer anti-freeze is available 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.C160G01A-AATTo Keep Locks from FreezingTo keep the locks from freezing, squirt an
approved 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.
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 re-
lease the parking brake.C160J01A-AATDon't Let Ice and Snow Accumulate
UnderneathUnder some conditions, snow and ice
can build up under the fenders and inter-
fere with the steering. When driving in
severe winter conditions where this may
happen, you should periodically check
underneath the car to be sure the move-
ment of the front wheels and the steering
components is not obstructed.

USE OF LIGHTSC180A01A-AATCheck your lights regularly for correct
operation and always keep them clean.
When driving during the day in conditions
of poor visibility, it is helpful to drive with
headlights on low beam. This enables
you to be seen, as well as to see.
HIGHER SPEED MOTORINGC170A02A-AATPre-Trip Inspections1. Tires:
Adjust the tire inflation pressures for high-
way 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 fail-
ure.NOTE:Never exceed the maximum tire infla-
tion pressure shown on the tires.
WARNING:
o Underinflated or overinflated tires
can cause poor handling, loss of ve-
hicle control, and sudden tire failure
leading to accidents, injuries, and
even death. Always check tires are
properly inflated before driving. Refer
to pages 2-20 and 8-3 for proper tire
pressures and further information.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. o Driving on tires with no or insuffi-
cient tread is dangerous. Worn-out
tires can result in loss of vehicle
control, collisions, injury, and even
death. Worn-out tires should be re-
placed as soon as possible and
should never be used for driving.
Always check tire tread before driv-
ing your car. Refer to 8-12 for further
information and tread limits.
WARNING:
