o Ensure that the overdrive switch is at the
"ON" position for maximum economy.
o If rapid acceleration is required, fully de- press the accelerator pedal. In this condi- tion, the kickdown mechanism will be oper-ated and the transaxle will automaticallydownshift according to the vehicle speed.
o Do not depress the accelerator pedal with the brakes applied and the selector at the"R" "D" "2" or "L" position.
o Turn the overdrive switch on for good fuel economy and smooth driving. But if enginebraking is needed in the "D" range or ifrepeated upshifting and downshifting be-tween the 3rd and 4th gear is needed whenclimbing a gentle slope, it is recommendedthat the overdrive switch be turned off. Turnthe overdrive switch back on immediatelyafterward.

EFFECTIVE BRAKING Braking system performance and friction mate-
rial life are greatly affected by the driving styleadopted. The following suggestions are madeto assist in achieving the best results from thebraking system.
o Anticipate the road and conditions ahead in order that heavy braking may be avoided.
o When descending long gradients, use the engine to assist in retarding the vehicle to minimize the possibility of brake fade occur-ring.
ZC120D1-E
General Operating Instructions
o The button in the selector handle must be depressed before the selector can be moved.
o The engine may only be started when the selector is at position "P" or "N".
o Ensure that the footbrake is firmly applied when shifting from "P" or "N" to "D", "2" or "L" and vice versa.
o Always engage the parking brake when the vehicle is unattended, never use the "P"position in place of the parking brake.
o Under normal circumstances, the selector should be placed in the "D" position and thetransaxle allowed to select the most idealratio for the circumstances. In this positionmaximum fuel economy will be achieved.
o When descending steep gradients where engine braking is required, the selectorshould be placed at the "2" or "L" positiondepending upon the vehicle speed.
o When ascending steep gradients and using large throttle openings, the transaxle mayrepeatedly change between two adjacentratios. This is a normal characteristic andmay be prevented by selecting "2" or "L"depending upon the vehicle speed.
o Never move the selector to or from the "P" or "N" position with the accelerator de-pressed. o When trailer towing, ensure that the trailer
brakes function correctly and use enginebrak-ing to assist the vehicle braking system.
o Use only genuine Hyundai replacement brake pads and shoes to ensure consistentfriction characteristics and wear rates.
o After driving through deep water (e.g. fording), the brakes may become wet andperformance reduced. Always check brakeefficiency after emerging from the water anddry the brakes by lightly depressing thebrake pedal several times whilst driving slow-ly.
o Apply the parking brake only when the vehi- cle is at rest.
o Since the power assistance provided by the brake servo is derived from the engine,coast-ing with the engine turned off or tow-ing of the vehicle with the engine turned offwill result in greatly increased pedal pres-sures being re-quired to stop the vehicle.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with the accelerator pedal. This can cause thetransmission to overheat. Always use thebrake pedal or parking brake.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
(Not all models) The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed
to prevent wheel lock-up during sudden braking or on hazardous road surfaces. The ABS con-trol module monitors the wheel speed and con-trols the pressure applied to each brake. Thus,

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

Anti-freeze/Corrosion inhibitor The cooling system must always contain an
Ethylene-Glycol based anti-freeze solution. The system is filled during manufacture with solu-tion of the correct strength which should bechecked before the onset of winter and adjust-ed or changed as required.
NOTE: The anti-freeze solution contains a corro-
sion inhibitor to prevent degradation of the aluminum castings contained within theengine. Therefore, never, drain the systemand refill with water only.
In addition, anti-freeze solution must ALWAYS
be used in vehicles fitted with air conditioning,to prevent the heater matrix from freezing andsubsequently bursting with the refrigeration sys-tem in use. ZC170B1-E
Electrical System
Winter conditions impose severe demands upon
vehicle electrical systems, particularly the charg-ing circuit. The battery condition and perfor-mance along with the alternator performanceand drive belt condition should be checked priorto the onset of winter.
o Don’t "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging
is driving too slowly in too high a gearresulting in the engine bucking. If this hap-pens to you, shift to a lower gear. Over-revving is racing the engine beyond its safe limit. This can be avoided by shifting atthe recommended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air conditioning system is operated by the en-gine power so your fuel economy is reducedwhen you use it.
SC160A1-F
SMOOTH CORNERING Avoid braking or gear changing in corners,
especially when roads are wet. Ideally, cornersshould always be taken under gentle accelera-tion. If you follow these suggestions, tire wearwill be held to a minimum.
SC170A1-E
WINTER MOTORING The onset of winter conditions subject motor
vehicles to greater operating demands. There-fore, the following suggestions will assist inmaintaining peak performance and reliabilityduring these periods: ZC170D1-E
Door Locks
Should the door lock mechanism become fro-
zen, a proprietary lock de-icer should be used.Alternatively, warming the door key may thawthe door lock. However, the key should behandled carefully to avoid burning the fingers.
Never attempt to thaw a frozen door lock using
hot water, since the water will eventually freezeand compound the problem.
NOTE:The proper temperature for using the immo-
bilizer key is from -40°F to 176°F(from -40°Cto 80°C). If you heat the immobilizer keyover 176°F(80°C) to open the frozen lock, itmay cause damage to the transponder in itshead.
ZC170E1-E
Windscreen Washers & Wipers The windscreen washer bottle should be filled
with a solution of water and a proprietary winterscreen wash additive. The windscreen wipersshould not be used it the blades are frozen tothe windscreen or if they are covered withsnow, before this is removed.
NOTE: Never allow undiluted screen washer fluid
additive to spill upon the paintwork or use engine coolant anti-freeze since damage tothe paintwork may result.

Install the jack handle into the jack as shown in
the drawing. To raise the vehicle, turn the jackhandle clockwise. As the jack begins to raisethe vehicle, double check that it is properlypositioned and will not slip. If the jack is on softground or sand, it may be necessary to place astout piece of timber under the base of the jackto prevent it from sinking.
Raise the car high enough so that the fully
inflated spare wheel can be installed.
WARNING: Do not get under the car when it is support-
ed by the jack! The jack is solely designed for wheel changing and is not intended tosupport the vehicle for other purposes. Theuse of purpose designed supports is neces-sary whilst the vehicle is raised and theoperator is required to get underneath. WARNING: It is important that the faces of the wheel
and hub are clean prior to installing the wheel. The prescence of dirt or other matterin the wheel or hub faces could result in thewheel nuts becoming loose whilst the vehi-cle is being driven.

AFTER CHANGING WHEELS
The pressure of the spare tyre should be
checked at the first available opportunity. If any doubt exists as to the tyre pressure, the vehicleshould be driven slowly to the nearest servicestation and the tyre pressure checked andadjusted as required. If the valve cap is lost from any of the valves,a replacement should be obtained and fitted atthe first available opportunity. The valve capprevents the ingress of dirt which may causethe valve to stick and therefore leak and is partof the valve sealing function. Ensure that the spare wheel, jack and jack handle as well tools are correctly located in theboot of the vehicle to prevent damage andnoise.

To Check the Oil Level
Before checking the oil, warm up the engine to
normal operating temperature and be sure it is parked on level ground. Turn the engine off.
Wait a minute, then remove the dipstick, wipe it
off, fully reinsert the dipstick and withdraw itagain. Then note the highest level the oil hasreached on the dipstick. It should be betweenthe upper ("F") and lower ("L") range. ZG030D1-A
Adding Oil
G030D01A
If the oil level is close to or below the "L" mark,
add oil until it reaches the "F" mark. To add oil:
1. Remove the oil filler cap by turning it coun- terclockwise.
2. Add oil, then check the level again. Do not overfill.
3. Replace the cap by turning it clockwise.
The distance between the "F" and "L" marks is
equal to about 1 quart of oil. G350A01A-GAT
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION Function of Engine Oil
Engine oil has the primary function of lubricat-
ing and cooling the inside of the engine. Engine oil consumption
If is normal that an engine should consume
some engine oil while normal driving. The cause of oil consumption in a normal engine are asfollows;
o Engine oil is used to lubricate pistons, piston rings and cylinders.
o A thin film of oil is left on the cylinder wall when a piston moves downwards in the cylinder. High negative pressure generatedduring engine operation sucks some of theoil into the combustion chamber. This oil with some oil of the cylinder wall is burned by the high temperature combustiongases during the combustion process.
o The engine oil consumption is strongly ef- fected by the viscosity and quality of oil,engine rpm and driving condition etc. The
engine oil is more consumed under severedriving conditions such as high speeds and
frequent acceleration and deceleration thannormal driving condition.
