FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
1-14 B240C01X-EAT SRS CareThe SRS is virtually maintenance-free and so there are no parts you can safely service byyourself. The entire SRS system must be in-spected by an authorized Hyundai dealer in 10years after the date that the car was manufac-ture. Any work on the airbag system, such as remov- ing, installing, repairing, or any work on thesteering wheel must be performed by a quali-fied Hyundai technician. Improper handling of the airbag system may result in serious personal injury. WARNING:
o Modification to SRS components or wir- ing, including the addition of any kind of badges to the pad cover or modifica-tions to the body structure, can adverse-ly affect SRS performance and lead topossible injury.
o For cleaning the horn pad, use only a soft, dry cloth or one which has beenmoistened with plain water. Solvents orcleaners could adversely affect the airbagcover and proper deployment of the sys-tem.
o No objects should be placed over or near the label identifying the airbag on thesteering wheel and instrument panel,because any such object could causeharm if the vehicle is in a crash severeenough to cause the airbag to inflate.
WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there may be
a loud noise and fine dust will be re- leased through out the vehicle. Theseconditions are normal and are not haz-ardous. However, the fine dust generat-ed during airbag deployment may causeskin irritation. Be sure to wash your handsand face thoroughly with lukewarm wa-ter and a mild soap after an accident inwhich the airbags were deployed.
o The SRS can function only when the ignition key is in the "ON" position. If theSRS SRI does not come on, or continu-ously remains on, after flashing for about6 seconds when the ignition key is turnedto the "ON" position, or after the engineis started, or comes on while driving, theSRS is not working properly. If this oc-curs, have your vehicle immediately in-spected by your Hyundai dealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or disconnect a battery terminal, turn the ignition key tothe "LOCK" position or remove the igni-tion key. Never remove or replace the airbag related fuse(s) when the ignition keyis in the "ON" position. Failure to heedthis warning will cause the SRS SRI toilluminate.
Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly
into the pad covers will separate under pres-sure from the expansion of the airbags. Furtheropening of the covers then allows full inflation ofthe airbags.
A fully inflated airbag in combination with a
properly worn seat belt slows the driver's for-ward motion, thus reducing the
risk of head and chest injury. After complete inflation, the airbag immediately
starts deflating, enabling the driver to maintain forward visibility.
CAUTION: When installing a container of liquid air
fresherer inside a vehicle, do not place it near the instrument cluster nor on the in-strument panel pad surface. If there is anyleakage from the air fresherer onto theseareas (instrument cluster, instrument panelpad or air ventilator), it may damage theseparts. If the liquid from the air freshererdoes leak onto these areas, wash them withwater immediately.

ZB120A1-E MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH Turn Signal Operation
To signal an intention to turn right, the switch
lever should be pulled down. To signal an intention to turn left, the switch lever should bepushed upwards. In both instances, the turnsignal lamps on one side of the car will flashand the warning lamp located in the instrumentcluster will flash in sympathy. Upon completionof the manoeuvre, the lever will, under normalcircumstances, return to the "Off" position.However, if the manoeuvre involved only asmall movement of the steering wheel, thesignal may need to be cancelled manually. Ifeither turn signal indicator flashes more rapidlythan normal or refuses to flash at all, a malfunc-tion of the turn signal system may exist.

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.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 8 in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABS will increase vehicle control during braking. NOTE: During ABS operation, a slight pulsation may be felt in the brake pedal when thebrakes are applied. Also, a noise may beheard in the engine compartment while brak-ing. These conditions are normal and indi-cate that the anti-lock brake system is func-tioning properly. WARNING: Your ABS will not prevent accidents due to improper or dangerous driving maneuvers.Even though vehicle control is improvedduring emergency braking, always maintaina safe distance between you and objectsahead. Vehicle speeds should always bereduced during extreme road conditions.The braking distance for cars equipped withan anti-lock braking system may be longerthan for those without it in the followingroad conditions.
o Driving on rough, gravel or snow-cov- ered roads.
o Driving with tire chains installed.
o Driving on roads where the road surface is pitted or has different surface height.
These roads should be driven at reduced speeds. The safety features of an ABSequipped vehicle should not be tested by high speed driving or cornering. This couldendanger the safety of yourself or others.
unnecessary tire wear. Check the tire pres-sures at least once a month.
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned cor- rectly. Improper alignment can result fromhitting curbs or driving too fast over irregularsurfaces. Poor alignment causes faster tirewear and may also result in other problemsas well as greater fuel consumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For better fuel economy and reduced maintenancecosts, maintain your car in accordance withthe maintenance schedule in Section 5. Ifyou drive your car in severe conditions,more frequent maintenance is required (seeSection 5 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum service, your car should be kept clean and free ofcorrosive materials. It is especially impor-tant that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed toaccumulate on the underside of the car. Thisextra weight can result in increased fuelconsumption and also contribute to corro-sion.
o Travel lightly. Don’t carry unnecessary weight in your car. Weight is an enemy of good fueleconomy.
o Don’t let the engine idle longer than neces- sary. If you are waiting (and not in traffic),turn off your engine and restart only whenyou’re ready to go.
o Remember, your car does not require ex- tended warm-up. As soon as the engine isrunning smoothly, you can drive away. Invery cold weather, however, give your en-gine a slightly longer warm-up period.
SC150A1-F
DRIVING FOR ECONOMY You can save fuel and get more miles from yourcar if you follow these suggestions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate rate. Don’t make "jack-rabbit" starts or full-throttle shifts and maintain a steady cruisingspeed. Don’t race between stoplights. Try toadjust your speed to that of the other trafficso you don’t have to change speeds unnec-essarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible. Al- ways maintain a safe distance from othervehicles so you can avoid unnecessary brak-ing. This also reduces brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your car uses. Driving ata moderate speed, especially on the high-way, is one of the most effective ways toreduce fuel consumption.
o Don’t "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. This can increase fuel consumption and alsoincrease wear on these components. In ad-dition, driving with your foot resting on thebrake pedal may cause the brakes to over-heat, which reduces their effectiveness andmay lead to more serious consequences.
o Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated to the recommended pressure. Incorrect infla-tion, either too much or too little, results in

2- 10 CAUTION:
o Never connect a trailer brake system di-
rectly to the vehicle brake system.
o When towing a trailer on steep grades (in excess of 12%) pay close attention to the engine coolant temperature gauge to
ensure the engine does not overheat. Ifthe needle of the coolant temperaturegauge moves across the dial 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.
C190D01A-GAT
Safety Chains Should the hitch connection between your carand the trailer or vehicle you are towing fail, thetrailer or vehicle could wander dangerouslyacross other lanes of traffic and ultimately col-lide with another vehicle. To eliminate this po-tentially dangerous situation, safety chains, attached between your car and the trailer ortowed vehicle, are required in most provinces.
o When driving in extreme conditions, the
windscreen wiper blades may fail to clearthe screen properly due to the formation ofice upon the blade edge. It will therefore benecessary to periodically remove such iceto restore their efficiency.
o If the power operated door mirrors become frozen, attempts to adjust these may dam-age the mechanism.
o The formation of snow or ice build up inside the wheel arches may interfere with theroadwheels or steering mechanism. In suchinstances, unusual noises or an increase insteering effort may result. Therefore, ensurethat the wheelarches are checked periodi-cally and any accumulated snow or iceremoved.
o It is advisable to carry emergency equip- ment including, torch, shovel, tow rope, blan-kets etc., if a journey is to be undertaken intoareas of severe road conditions. CAUTION: Do not do any towing with your car during
its first 1,200 miles in order to allow the engine to properly break in. Failure to heedthis caution may result in serious engine ortransaxle damage.
C190B01S-AAT
Trailer Hitches Select the proper hitch and ball combination,
making sure that it's location is compatible withthat of the trailer or vehicle being towed. Use aquality non-equalizing hitch which distributesthe tongue load uniformly throughout the chas-sis.
The hitch should be bolted securely to the car
and installed by a qualified technician. DO NOTUSE A HITCH DESIGNED FOR TEMPORARY
INSTALLATION AND NEVER USE ONE THATATTACHES ONLY TO THE BUMPER.
C190A01A-EAT
TRAILER OR VEHICLE TOWING
If you are considering towing with your car, you
should first check with your Province Depart-ment of Motor Vehicles to determine their legalrequirements.
Since laws vary from province to province the
requirements for towing trailers, cars, or othertypes of vehicles or apparatus may differ. Askyour Hyundai dealer for further details beforetowing. C190C01X-GAT
Trailer Brakes If your trailer is equipped with a braking system,
make sure it conforms to federal and/or localregulations and that it is properly installed andoperating correctly. NOTE: If you tow a trailer or vehicle, your car will require more frequent maintenance due tothe additional load. See Maintenance UnderSevere Usage Conditions" on page 5-4.

moved. Should any damage to or deterioration of the underbody coating be apparent, the ad-vice of a Hyundai dealer regarding the use of acompatible repair material should be sought.
NOTE: The underbody should never be steam
cleaned since the underbody coating may be removed by this process.
During the interim period between power wash-
ing the underbody, the more vulnerable areassuch as wheelarches should be hosed off,particularly during the winter season to preventprolonged contact of road salt with the body. Ensure that the various drain points located at
bottom of the door panels are kept clear, toprevent water becoming trapped within the cavi-ties. Wherever possible, the parking of thevehicle in a confined, poorly ventilated location(e.g.) garage should be avoided when the vehi-cle is wet or covered with snow or ice. Underthese conditions, the internal cavities of thevehicle will remain damp for long periods oftime which encourage corrosion. Parking thevehicle where good ventilation exists is prefer-able.
ZE020B1-E
Underbody Coatings Every Hyundai passenger car receives a full
underbody and cavity injection treatment duringproduction. In order that this treatment mayretain maximum effectiveness, it is recommend-ed that the underbody receives a power washand a thorough inspection after each winterseason. In so doing any accumulations of mud,which act as moisture traps and combine withroad salts to accelerate corrosion, will be re-

APPEARANCE CARE In using the most advanced design and con-
struction practices, every Hyundai is built to retain its original factory finish for many years.However, long term durability is also greatlydependant upon maintaining the various pro-tection systems and coatings used in manufac- ture since constant exposure to the elements will eventually result in their breakdown andloss of effectiveness. The following sugges-tions are made to assist in the maintenance ofthe vehicle bodywork.

Interior During the winter period, it is possible that the
carpet within the passenger compartment maybecome wet. The carpet should not be allowedto remain in this condition for prolonged periods JE050A1-E
VALETING
Regular cleaning of the exterior paintwork serves
two important functios. Firstly, the removal ofabrasive dirt and contaminants will maintain thelustre of the paintwork and will preventdiscolouration and dulling due to prolonged con-tact.
Secondly, the presence of damage through
impact or abrasion will be apparent allowingearly rectification to be made thus preventingcorrosion from becoming established andspreading beneath the paint film. To avoid "wa-ter spotting" the vehicle should not be washedin direct sunlight particularly in the case ofvehicles having dark body colours. The heatfrom the sun rays is absorbed by the paint filmincreasing the surface temperature. This actioncauses water used for washing to evaporatequickly leaving behind the deposits from thewater and the shampoo used. Use only a shampoo intended for the purpose
and ensure that the body work is thoroughlywetted to soften the dirt film prior to attemptingto remove this.
After removing the dirt film with a soft sponge,
the body work should be thoroughly rinsed andthen dried with a good quality ch mois leather toprevent streaking or spotting of the paint work.
since the carpet may begin to create mustysmells and promote internal corrosion of thefloorpan.

CORROSION PREVENTION & APPEARANCE CARE
4-2 Household detergents, solvents and abrasive
cleaning materials should not be used in order ot avoid damaging the paint film.
Plastic wheel covers should be cleaned using a
sponge and water. Cast alloy wheels should becleaned using a mild soap or neutral detergent.Abrasive compounds must not be used since inthe event of these damaging the lacquer coat-ing, oxidisation of the aluminium wheel willoccur, spoiling the appearance.
The use of an a toothbrush will facilitate clean-
ing between the wheel "spokes". JE080A1-E
BUMPER MAINTENANCE
The special material from which the bumpersare manufactured warrants special attention topreserve the appearance of thebumpers. Avoidcontact with battery electrolyte or brake fluidand ensure that accidental spillages are imme-diately flushed with water. Do not use abrasive cleaning materials which may damage the bumpers. Avoid subjecting the bumpers to high tempera- tures such as may be encountered in high bakepaing ovens.
JE060A1-E
STAIN/SPOT REMOVAL Should tree sap, dead insects or tar prove to be
difficult to remove from the paint film, turpentineor a proprietary paint cutting compound may beused. Ensure that the area to be cleaned is notrubbed intensively to prevent breaking throughthe colour coat and exposing the under coat.
JE070A1-E
POLISHING The exterior paint work should be polished with
a proprietary wax polish when water no longercollects in bead form on the paint work. Theinstructions of the product manufacturer shouldbe adhered to. JE090A1-E
ACCIDENT REPAIRS In the event of the body work sustaining dam-age, the following points should be noted priorto repairs being undertaken. If body panels are replaced or repaired, anti corrosion treatment must be applied to therepair area. The product used must be compat-ible with those used in manufacture. It is recom-mended that repairs are entrusted to a Hyundaidealer to ensure that replacement parts usedare of the same high quality as those used inmanufacture of the vehicle and that the correctrepair methods and materials will ensure ade-quate levels of corrosion protection and thecontinued validity of the Anti Perforation War-ranty. JE100A1-E
SEAT BELTS
Seat belts should be cleaned only with a mildsoap solution. Strong detergents, solvens orbleaches may damage the belt webbing andtherefore reduce the effectiveness of the belt.Belts which display signs of fraying, wear of cutshould be replaced. JE110A1-E
INTERIOR VALETING
The soft trim and carpets should be maintained with the regular use of a vacuum cleaner. Heavysoiling should be removed with a dry cleaningagent recommended for this purpose followingthe instructions of the product manufacturer.Paint thinner, solvents or other such cleaningmaterials should not be used since damage tothe upholstery may result. JE120A1-E
WINDOWS
A proprietary glass cleaner should be used to clean the inside of the windows. However, therear heated windscreen must only be cleanedusing a light horizontal cleaning action. Careshould be exercised to avoid the use of abra-sive cleaners or contact with items of jewellerywhich may damage the heating elements.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS 5-1
