The brake warning light indicates that the brake
fluid level in the brake master cylinder is lowand hydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3or DOT 4 specifications should be added. Afteradding fluid, if no other trouble is found, the carshould be immediately and carefully drivento a Hyundai dealer for inspection. If furthertrouble is experienced, the vehicle should notbe driven at all but taken to a dealer by aprofessional towing service or some other safemethod.
Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-diagonal
braking systems. This means you still havebraking on two wheels even if one of the dualsystems should fail. With only one of the dualsystems working, more than normal pedal trav-el and greater pedal pressure are required tostop the car. Also, the car will not stop in asshort a distance with only half of the brakesystem working. If the brakes fail while you are driving, shift to a lower gear for additional en-gine braking and stop the car as soon as it issafe to do so.

1-20 WARNING: Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. The engine coolant is underpressure and could erupt and cause severeburns. Wait until the engine is cool beforeremoving the radiator cap. The needle on the engine coolant temperature
gauge should stay in the normal range. If itmoves across the dial to “H” (Hot), pull over and stop as soon as possible and turn off the engine. Then open the hood and check thecoolant level and the water pump drive belt. If
you suspect cooling system trouble, have yourcooling system checked by Hyundai dealer assoon as possible.
The needle on the gauge indicates the fuel levelin the fuel tank. The fuel capacity is given insection 9. NOTE: The engine should not be operated below the “E” mark of the fuel gauge and with thelow fuel level warning lamp on, or seriousengine damage or misfire may result.

STARTING (For Multiport Fuel Injection)
Normal starting with either a cold or warm
engine is obtained without pumping or depress- ing the accelerator pedal. Simply turn the key to
the "START" position and release when the
engine starts.
After the engine has started, allow the engine to
run for 10 to 20 seconds prior to placing thevehicle in gear.
The starter should not be operated for more
than 15 seconds at a time. Wait 15-30 secondsbetween starting attempts to protect the starterfrom overheating.
WARNING:Never run the engine in a closed or poorly
ventilated area any longer than is needed tomove your car in or out of the area. Thecarbon monoxide gas emitted is odorlessand can cause serious injury or death. C050B02X-GAT
Normal Conditions:
The Starting Procedure:
1. Insert key, and fasten the seat belt.
2. Depress the clutch pedal fully (manual transaxle) and place the gearshift lever in neutral (manual transaxle) or the selectorlever (automatic transaxle) in "P" (park)position.
3. After turning the ignition key to the "ON" position, make certain all warning lights andgauges are functioning properly before start-
ing the engine.
WARNING: Be sure that the clutch is fully depressed
when starting a manual transaxle vehicle. Otherwise, there is the potential to cause
damage to the vehicle or injury to someoneinside or outside the vehicle as a result ofthe forward or backward movement of the
vehicle that will occur if the clutch is notdepressed when the vehicle is started.
4. Turn the ignition key to the "Start" position and release it when the engine starts. DC090C1-E
FUEL ECONOMY
The following suggestions are made to assist in
achieving the greatest degree of fuel economy.
o Maintaining a constant check on fuel con- sumption will enable the most economical use pattern and driving style to be adopted.
o Avoid using the vehicle for very short jour- neys if possible, particularly when a coldstart is involved.
o Ensure that tyre pressures are maintained at the correct level.
o Use only the recommended grade of fuel.
o Avoid carrying unnecessary weight, and if a roof rack is in use, remove it as soon aspossible after use.
o Anticipate the road and conditions ahead to enable adjustments in speed to be madesmoothly. Avoid heavy acceleration andsharp braking.
o Avoid cruising at unnecessary high speeds.
o Always ensure that the periodic maintenance services are performed by a Hyundai dealer at the time and/or mileage intervals speci-fied.
o Use the air conditioner only when neces- sary.

Using the Clutch of Manual transaxle
The clutch should be pressed all the way to thefloor before shifting, then released slowly. Theclutch pedal should be always used after fullyreturning to the original position. Do not restyour foot on the clutch pedal while driving. Thiscan cause unnecessary wear. Do not partiallyengage the clutch to hold the car on an incline.This causes unnecessary wear. Use the park-
ing brake to hold the car on an incline. Do not
operate the clutch pedal rapidly and repeatedly. ZC090D2-A
To Remove the Ignition Key
C070A03X-EAT
MANUAL TRANSAXLE
C070A01X
The 5 speed fully synchronized manual transaxle
is controlled by a floor mounted shift lever upon which the shift pattern is indicated. Ensure thatwhen changing gear, the clutch pedal is fullydepressed before moving the shift lever. CAUTION:
o Do not attempt to engage reverse gear when the car is moving.
o To avoid damaging the selector mecha- nism, do not use the gear shift lever as a hand rest. Release the lever immediatelythe shift is completed.
o To avoid premature clutch wear, do not use the clutch pedal as a foot rest, anddo not hold the vehicle on a gradientusing the clutch. o Ensure that the engine is not over-revved
by upshifting.
o Do not coast with the shift lever at the neutral position.
o When descending long gradients, make use of the engine braking to assist thefootbrake to avoid brake fade or over-heating.
o When slippery conditions are encoun- tered, increased caution should be exe-cuted when gear changing, braking oraccelerating. Abrupt changes in speedmay cause a loss of traction.
o To shift into reverse, rest the lever in neutral for at least 3 seconds after yourcar is completely stopped. Then movethe lever into the reverse position.
WARNING: When downshifting from fifth gear to fourth
gear, caution should be taken not to inad-vertently press the gear shift lever sidewaysin such a manner that second gear is en-gaged. Such over revving of the engine maypossibly cause engine damage.

has four forward speeds and one reverse speed. It has a conventional shift pattern as shown inthe illustration. At night, with the first position ofthe multi-function switch, the appropriate sym-bol on the shift pattern indicator will be illuminat-ed according to the range selected.
CAUTION: Never shift into "R" or "P" position while
the vehicle is moving.
NOTE: Depress the brake pedal and push the
button when shifting.
Push the button when shifting. The selector lever can be shifted free-
ly.
For optimum fuel economy, accelerate gradual-
ly. The transaxle will automatically shift to the second, third and overdrive gears.
CAUTION: The selector must NEVER be shifted to the
"P" position whilst the vehicle is in motion, otherwise serious transaxle damage will re-sult.
NOTE:
o The ignition key can be removed with the selector in only this position. (Not allmodels)
o The brake pedal fully depressed in order to move the shift lever from the "P"(Park) position to any of the other posi-tions. (Not all models)

SELECTOR POSITIONS o P (Park):
With the selector in this position, no drive is
transmitted from the engine and the transaxle output (and therefore the front wheels) arelocked. The engine may be started with theselector in this position. ZC110C1-A

Use for backing up the vehicle. Bring the car to
a complete stop before shifting the selectorlever to "R" position.

o N (Neutral) In the "N" position, the transaxle is in neutral,
which means that no gears are engaged. Theengine can be started with the shift lever in "N"position, although this is not recommendedexcept if the engine stalls while the car ismoving. CAUTION:
Do not coast with the selector at the "N"
