If the Emission Control System Mal- function Indicator Light begins toflash ON and OFF, potential catalytic converter damage is possible which could result in loss of engine power.Have the Engine Control System in- spected as soon as possible by an authorised Hyundai dealer.
B260N01MC-DAT Malfunction Indicator Light
This light illuminates when there is a malfunction of an exhaust gas relatedcomponent, and the system is not func- tioning properly so that the exha ust gas
regulation values are not satisfied. This light will also illuminate when the ignition
key is turned to the "ON" position, and then it will go out in a few seconds after
the engine is started. If it illuminates
while driving, or does not illuminate whenthe ignition key is turned to the "ON"position, take your car to your nearest
authorised Hyundai dealer and have the system checked.
CAUTION:
Prolonged driving with the Emis- sion Control System Malfunction Indicator Light illuminated may cause damage to the emission con-trol systems which could effect drivability or fuel economy.!
B290A02MC-DAT Engine Coolant Tempera-
ture Warning Light
warning:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. The engine coolant is under pressure and could erupt and cause severe burns. Wait untilthe engine is cool before removing the radiator cap.
!
This warning light shows the tempera- ture of the engine coolant when the ignition switch is ON. The warning light illuminates if the temperature of theengine coolant is above 123±3°C (253.4±5.4°F). If the warning light illuminates, pull overand stop as soon as possible and turn off the engine. Then open the bonnet and check the coolant level (See "If theengine overheats" on the page 3-4.) and the water pump drive belt. If you sus- pect cooling system trouble, have yourcooling system checked by a Hyundai dealer as soon as possible.

C160C01A-AAT Use High Quality Ethylene Gly- col Coolant Your Hyundai is delivered with high quality ethylene glycol coolant in the cooling system. It is the only type ofcoolant that should be used because it helps prevent corrosion in the cooling system, lubricates the water pump andprevents freezing. Be sure to replace or replenish your coolant in accor- dance with the maintenance schedulein Section 5. Before winter, have your coolant tested to assure that its freez- ing point is sufficient for the tempera-tures anticipated during the winter.
It should be noted that installing tyrechains on the tyre will provide a greaterdriving force, but will not prevent side skids. NOTE: Tyre chains are not legal in all states. Check state laws before fitting tyrechains.WINTER DRIVING
C160B01A-DAT Snowy or Icy Conditions To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may be necessary to use snow tyres or to install tyre chains on your tyres. If snow tyre are needed, it is necessaryto select tyres equivalent in size and type to the original equipment tyres. Failure to do so may adversely affectthe safety and handling of your car. Furthermore, speeding, rapid accel- eration, sudden brake applications, andsharp turns are potentially very haz- ardous practices. During deceleration, use engine brak-ing to the fullest extent. Sudden brake applications on snowy or icy roads may cause skids to occur. You need to
keep sufficient distance between the vehicle in operation in front and your vehicle. Also, apply the brake gently.
C160A01A-DAT The more severe weather conditions of winter result in greater wear and other problems. To minimise the prob- lems of winter driving, you should fol-low these suggestions:
C160F02A-AAT Check Spark Plugs and Ignition System Inspect your spark plugs and replace them if necessary. Also check allignition wiring and components to be sure they are not cracked, worn or damaged in any way.
C160E01A-AAT Change to "Winter Weight" Oil if Necessary In some climates it is recommended that a lower viscosity "winter weight" oil be used during cold weather. See Section 9 for recommendations. If youaren't sure what weight oil you should use, consult your Hyundai dealer.
C160D01A-DAT Check Battery and Cables Winter puts additional burdens on the battery and charging system. Visuallyinspect the battery and cables as de- scribed in Section 6. The level of charge in your battery can be checked by yourHyundai dealer or a service station.

C160K01A-DAT Carry Emergency Equipment Depending on the severity of the weather where you drive your car, you should carry appropriate emergency equipment. Some of the items youmay want to carry include tyre chains, tow straps or chains, flashlight, emer- gency flares, sand, a shovel, jumpercables, a window scraper, gloves, ground cloth, overalls, a blanket, etc.
C160J01A-AAT Don't Let Ice and Snow Accumu- late Underneath Under some conditions, snow and ice can build up under the fenders andinterfere with the steering. When driv- ing in severe winter conditions where this may happen, you should periodi-cally check underneath the car to be sure the movement of the front wheels and the steering components are notobstructed.
C160G01A-DAT To Keep Locks from Freezing To keep the locks from freezing, squirt an approved de-icer fluid or glycerineinto the key opening. If a lock is cov- ered with ice, squirt it with an approved de-icing fluid to remove the ice. If thelock is frozen internally, you may be able to thaw it out by using a heated key. Handle the heated key with careto avoid injury. NOTE: The proper temperature for using the immobiliser key is from -40°C to 80°C. If you heat the immobiliser key over 80°C to open a frozen lock, itmay cause damage to the transpon- der in its head. C160H01A-DAT Use Approved Anti-Freeze in Window Washer System To keep the water in the window washer system from freezing, add an approvedanti-freeze solution in accordance with instructions on the container. Window washer anti-freeze is available fromHyundai dealers and most auto parts outlets. Do not use engine coolant or other types of anti-freeze as thesemay damage the paint finish. C160I01A-DAT Don't Let Your Hand Brake Freeze Under some conditions your hand brake can freeze in the engaged posi- tion. This is most likely to happen when there is an accumulation of snow or icearound or near the rear brakes or if the brakes are wet. If there is a risk the hand brake may freeze, apply it onlytemporarily 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 hand brake.

21USE OF LIGHTS
C180A01A-AAT Check your lights regularly for correct operation and always keep them clean. When driving during the day in condi- tions of poor visibility, it is helpful todrive with headlights on low beam. This enables you to be seen as well as to see.HIGH SPEED MOTORING
C170A01A-DAT Pre-Trip Inspections
1. Tyres: Adjust the tyre inflation pressures to specification. Low tyre inflation pres- sures will result in overheating and possible failure of the tyres. Avoidusing worn or damaged tyres which may result in reduced traction or tyre failure. NOTE: Never exceed the maximum tyre inflation pressure shown on the tyres.
2. Fuel, engine coolant and en gine oil:
High speed travel consumes more fuel than urban motoring. Do not forget tocheck both engine coolant and engine oil.
3. Drive belt: A loose or damaged drive belt may result in overheating of the engine.TRAILER OR VEHICLE TOW- ING
C190A01A-DAT If you are considering towing with your car, you should first check with your State Department of Motor Vehicles to determine their legal requirements.Since laws vary from state to state, the requirements for towing trailers, cars, or other types of vehicles or apparatusmay differ. Ask your Hyundai dealer for further details before towing.
! CAUTION :
Do not do any towing with your car during its first 2,000 km (1,200 miles) in order to allow the engine to prop-erly break in. Failure to heed this caution may result in serious en- gine or transaxle damage.

If the needle of the coolant tem- perature gauge moves across thedial towards "H" (HOT), pull over and stop as soon as it is safe to do so, and allow the engine toidle until it cools down. You may proceed once the engine has cooled sufficiently.
C190D02A-DAT Safety Chains Should the towbar connection between your car and the trailer or vehicle you are towing fail, the trailer or vehicle could wander dangerously across otherlanes of traffic and ultimately collide with another vehicle. To eliminate this potentially danger-ous situation, safety chains, attached between your car and the trailer or towed vehicle, are required in moststates.
!
C190B02S-DAT Trailer Towbars Select the proper towbar and ball com- bination, making sure that its location iscompatible with that of the trailer or vehicle being towed. We recommend only genuine Hyundai towbars (thetowbars are made and tested in Austra-
lia/NZ for local conditions). Use a qual- ity non-equalising towbar which distrib-utes the tongue load uniformly through- out the chassis. Tongue loads can be increased ordecreased by redistributing the load in the trailer. This can be verified by checking the total weight of the loadedtrailer and then checking the load on the tongue. WARNING:
Improperly loading your car and trailer can serious affect its steer-ing and braking performance caus- ing a crash in which you may be seriously injured. C190C01S-DAT Trailer Brakes If your trailer is equipped with a braking system, make sure it conforms to fed-eral and/or local regulations and that it is properly installed and operating cor- rectly. NOTE: If you tow a trailer or vehicle, your car will require more frequent main-tenance due to the additional load. See "Maintenance Under Severe Usage Conditions" on page 5-6.
!
CAUTION:
o Never connect a trailer brake sys- tem directly to the vehicle brake system.
o When towing a trailer on steep grades (in excess of 6%) pay closeattention to the engine coolant temperature gauge to ensure theengine does not overheat.

3 WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
4IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
D030A01A-DAT If your temperature gauge indicates overheating, you experience a loss of power, or hear loud pinging or knock- ing, the engine is probably too hot. Ifthis 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"
(automatic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the hand brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the car or steam is coming out from under-neath the bonnet, stop the engine. Do not open the bonnet until thecoolant 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 theradiator, hoses or under the car.
6. Carefully remove the jumper cables
in the reverse order of attachment.
If you do not know why your batterybecame discharged (because the lightswere left on, etc.), have the charging system checked by your Hyundai dealer.
3. Attach the clamps of the jumper
cable in the exact order shown in theillustration. That is, first, attach one clamp of the jumper cable to the positive (+) post or cable of thedischarged battery. Then attach the other end of the same cable to the positive (+) post or cable of thebooster battery. Next, using the other cable, attach one clamp to the negative (-) post or cable of thebooster battery. Then attach the other end of that cable to a solid metal part of the engine away fromthe 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 afew minutes. This will help to as- sure that the booster battery is fullycharged. During the jumping opera- tion, run the engine in this vehicle at about 2,000 rpm.
5. Start the engine in the car with the discharged battery using the normalstarting procedure. After the enginestarts, leave the jumper cables con- nected and let the engine run at fast idle or about 2,000 rpm for severalminutes.
