B280A01A-AAT FUEL GAUGE The needle on the gauge indicates the approxi- mate fuel level in the fuel tank. The fuel capacityis given in Section 9.
B900A01A-GAT ACOUSTIC WARNING SOUND (If installed) The acoustic warning chime sounds when the tail lights are on and the door in driver side isopen. This prevents the battery from dischargingwhen the car is left with the tail lights on. Thechime sounds until the tail lights are turned off.
B260N02A-AAT
Malfunction Indicator Light (If installed)
This light illuminates when there is a malfunction of an exhaust gas related component, and thesystem is not functioning properly so that theexhaust gas regulation values are not satisfied.This light will also illuminate when the ignition keyis turned to the "ON" position, and will go out in afew seconds. If it illuminates while driving, ordoes not illuminate when the ignition key isturned to the "ON" position, take your car to yournearest authorized Hyundai dealer and have thesystem checked.
when the brake pedal is pushed down firmly. Excessive rotor damage will result if the wornpads are not replaced. See your Hyundai dealerimmediately.

B290A02A-AAT ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE WARNING: Never remove the radiator cap when the en-gine is hot. The engine coolant is under pres-sure and could erupt and cause severe burns.Wait until the engine is cool before removingthe 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 andstop as soon as possible and turn off the engine.Then open the hood and check the coolant leveland the water pump drive belt. If you suspectcooling system trouble, have your cooling sys-tem checked by Hyundai dealer as soon aspossible.

To use the air conditioning to cool interior:
o Turn on the fan control switch.
o Turn on the air conditioning switch by pushing in on the switch.
o Set the air intake control to the position.
o Set the temperature control to "Cool". ("Cool" provides maximum cooling. The temperaturemay be moderated by moving the controltoward "Warm".)
o Adjust the fan control to the desired speed. For greater cooling, turn the fan control to oneof the higher speeds or temporarily select the position on the air intake control.
B740B01X-1
B730A01A-AAT OPERATION TIPS
o To keep dust or unpleasant fumes from enter-ing the car through the ventilation system, temporarily set the air intake control at the position.Be sure to return the control to theposition when the irritation has passed tokeep fresh air in the vehicle. This will helpkeep the driver alert and comfortable.
o Air for the heating/cooling system is drawn in through the grilles just ahead of the wind-shield. Care should be taken that these arenot blocked by leaves, snow, ice or otherobstructions.
B740A01X-GAT AIR CONDITIONING SWITCH (If installed) The air conditioning is turned on by pushing the
A/C button in the fan control rotary switch.
B740A01X-1
B720A02X-GAT DEFROSTING/DEFOGGING To use the heating/ventilation system to defrost or defog the windshield:
o Set the air intake control to the position.
o Set the air flow control to the position.
o Set the temperature control to a comfortably warm position.
o Set the fan speed control to position 3 or 4.
o If vehicle is so equipped, push on the A/C for increased defogging action.
NOTE:In high humidity areas the A/C can be used
with the air intake in the positionfor increased defogging action.

Failure to do so may adversely affect the safety
and handling of your car. Speeding, rapid accel-eration, sudden brake applications, and sharpturns are potentially very hazardous practices.During deceleration, use engine braking to thefullest extent. Sudden brake applications onsnowy or icy roads may cause skids to occur.
You need to keep sufficient distance betweenthe vehicle in front and your vehicle. Also, applythe brake gently.
It should be noted that installing tire chains on
the tire will provide a greater driving force, butwill not prevent side skids.

Your Hyundai is delivered with high quality
ethylene glycol coolant in the cooling system. It is the only type of coolant that should be usedbecause it helps prevent corrosion in the cool-ing system, lubricates the water pump andprevents freezing. Be sure to replace or replen-ish your coolant in accordance with the main-tenance schedule in Section 5. Before winter,have your coolant tested to assure that itsfreezing point is sufficient for the temperaturesanticipated during the winter.

sories in both vehicles.
3. Attach the clamps of the jumper cable in the exact order shown in the illustration. That is, first, attach one clamp of the jumper cable tothe positive (+) post or cable of the dis-charged battery. Then attach the other endof the same cable to the positive (+) post orcable of the booster battery. Next, using theother cable, attach one clamp to the nega-tive (-) post or cable of the booster battery.Then attach the other end of that cable to asolid metal part of the engine away from thebattery. Do not connect the cable to anymoving part.
4. Start the engine in the car with the booster battery and let it run for a few minutes. Thiswill help to assure that the booster battery isfully charged. During the jumping operation,run the engine in this vehicle at about 2,000rpm.
5. Start your engine using the normal starting procedure. After the engine starts, leave thejumper cables connected and let the enginerun at fast idle or about 2,000 rpm for sev-eral minutes.
6. Carefully remove the jumper cables in the reverse order of attachment.
If you do not know why your battery becamedischarged (because the lights were left on,etc.), have the charging system checked byyour Hyundai dealer.

If your temperature gauge indicates overheat-ing, you experience a loss of power, or hearloud pinging or knocking, the engine is probablytoo hot. If this happens to you, 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" (auto- matic transaxle), or neutral (manual
transaxle) and set the parking brake. If theair conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If engine coolant is running out under the car or steam is coming out from the hood, stopthe engine. Do not open the hood until theengine coolant has stopped running or thesteaming has stopped. If there is no visibleloss of engine coolant and no steam, leavethe engine running and check to be sure theengine cooling fan is operating. If the fan isnot 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 thatit is tight. If the drive belt seems to besatisfactory, check for engine coolant leak-ing from the radiator, hoses or under the car.(If the air conditioning had been in use, it isnormal for cold water to be draining from itwhen you stop).

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 ("FULL") and lower ("LOW") range. 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 counter-
clockwise.
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 liter of oil. G350A01A-GAT

Engine oil consumption
Engine oil consumption
It is normal that an engine should consume
some engine oil while normal driving. The causeof oil consumption in a normal engine are asfollows;
o Engine oil is used to lubricate pistons, piston rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil is left on the cylinder wall when a piston moves downwards in thecylinder. High negative pressure generated
during 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. Theengine oil is more consumed under severedriving conditions such as high speeds and
frequent acceleration and deceleration thannormal driving condition.

Use a high quality ethylene-glycol coolant in a
50/50 mix with water. The engine coolant should be compatible with aluminum engine parts. Ad-ditional corrosion inhibitors or additives shouldnot be used. The cooling system must be main-tained with the correct concentration and typeof engine coolant to prevent freezing and corro-sion. Never allow the concentration of antifreeze to exceed the 60% level or go below the 35% levelor damage to the coolant system may result. Forproper concentration when adding or replacingthe coolant, refer to the following table.
