B260P02Y-AAT ABS Service Reminder Indica- tor (SRI) (If installed)
When the key is turned to the "ON" position, the ABS SRI will come on and then go off in a fewseconds. If the ABS SRI remains on, comes onwhile driving, or does not come on when the keyis turned to the "ON" position, this indicates thatthere may be a problem with the ABS. If this occurs, have your vehicle checked by your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. The normalbraking system will still be operational, but with-out the assistance of the anti-lock brake system.

Turn Signal Indicator Lights
The blinking green arrows on the instrumentpanel show the direction indicated by the turnsignals. If the arrow comes on but does notilluminate, blinks more rapidly than normal, ordoes not illuminate at all, a malfunction in the turnsignal system is indicated. Your dealer should beconsulted for repairs. B260G01A-AAT
Oil Pressure Warning Light
CAUTION: If the oil pressure warning light stays on while the engine is running, serious enginedamage may result. The oil pressure warninglight comes on whenever there is insufficientoil pressure. In normal operation, it shouldcome on when the ignition switch is turnedon, then go out when the engine is started. Ifthe oil pressure warning light stays on whilethe engine is running, there is a seriousmalfunction.If this happens, stop the car as soon as it issafe to do so, turn off the engine and checkthe oil level. If the oil level is low, fill the engineoil to the proper level and start the engineagain. If the light stays on with the enginerunning, turn the engine off immediately. Inany instance where the oil light stays onwhen the engine is running, the engine shouldbe checked by an Hyundai dealer before thecar is driven again.
B260E02A-GAT Seat Belt Reminder Light
The seat belt reminder light comes on until your seat belt is fastened when the ignition key isturned from the "OFF" position to "ON" or"START".B260H03A-AAT Parking Brake/Brake Fluid Level Warning Light

B260C01A-AAT O/D OFF Indicator (If installed)
When the overdrive switch is turned on, the overdrive off indicator will go out. This amberindicator will be illuminated when the overdriveswitch is turned off. (Auto T/A only)
CAUTION: If the both ABS SRI and Parking Brake/Brakefluid level warning lights remain "ON" orcome on while driving, there may be a prob-lem with E.B.D (Electronic Brake Force Dis-tribution).If this occurs, avoid sudden stops and haveyour vehicle checked by your Hyundai dealeras soon as possible.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 8 WARNING: Your ABS will not prevent accidents due to
improper or dangerous driving maneuvers. Even though vehicle control is improved
during 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 with
an 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.
During these conditions the vehicle should
be driven at reduced speeds. The safety
features of an ABS equipped vehicle shouldnot be tested by high speed driving or cor-nering. This could endanger the safety ofyourself or others.
C120A02A-AAT
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (If installed)
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,in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABSwill 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. put the gear selector lever in "P" (automatic)or in first or reverse gear (manual transaxle)and block the rear wheels so the car cannotroll. Then release the parking brake.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with the accelerator pedal. This can cause thetransaxle to overheat. Always use the brake
pedal or parking brake.
o Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Resting your
foot on the brake pedal while driving can bedangerous because it can result in the brakesoverheating and losing their effectiveness. Italso increases the wear of the brake compo-nents.
o If a tire goes flat while you are driving, apply the brakes gently and keep the car pointedstraight ahead while you slow down. Whenyou are moving slowly enough for it to be
safe to do so, pull off the road and stop in asafe place.
o If your car is equipped with an automatic transaxle, don't let your car creep forward.To avoid creeping forward, keep your foot
on the brake pedal when the car is stopped.
o Use caution when parking on a hill. Engage the parking brake and place the gear selec-tor lever in "P" (automatic transaxle) or in
first or reverse gear (manual transaxle). Ifyour car is facing downhill, turn the frontwheels into the curb to help keep the carfrom rolling. If your car is facing uphill, turnthe front wheels away from the curb to helpkeep the car from rolling. If there is no curb
or if it is required by other conditions to keepthe car from rolling, block the wheels.
o Under some conditions your parking brake can freeze in the engaged position. This ismost likely to happen when there is an
accumulation of snow or ice around or nearthe rear brakes or if the brakes are wet. If
there is a risk that the parking brake may
freeze, apply it only temporarily while you

CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE
4-2 E020C01A-AAT
Keep Your Garage Dry
Don't park your car in a damp, poorly ventilated
garage. This creates a favorable environment for corrosion. This is particularly true if youwash your car in the garage or drive it into thegarage when it is still wet or covered with snow,ice or mud. Even a heated garage can contrib-ute to corrosion unless it is well ventilated somoisture is dispersed.
E020D01A-AAT
Keep Paint and Trim in Good Condition
Scratches or chips in the finish should be cov-
ered with "touch-up" paint as soon as possibleto reduce the possibility of corrosion. If baremetal is showing through, the attention of aqualified body and paint shop is recommended.
E020E01A-AAT
Don't Neglect the Interior Moisture can collect under the floor mats and
carpeting to cause corrosion. Check under themats periodically to be sure the carpeting is dry.Use particular care if you carry fertilizers, clean-ing materials or chemicals in the car.
These should be carried only in proper contain-
ers and any spills or leaks should be cleanedup, flushed with clear water and thoroughlydried. E030A01A-AAT
WASHING AND WAXING Washing Your Hyundai
Never wash your car when the surface is hot from being in the sun. Always wash your car inthe shade. Wash your car frequently. Dirt is abrasive and can scratch the paint if it is not removed. Airpollution or acid rain may damage the paint and trim through chemical action if pollutants are allowed to remain in contact with the surface. Ifyou live near the ocean or in an area where
road salts or dust control chemicals are used,you should pay particular attention to the under-side of the car. Start by rinsing the car toremove dust and loose dirt. In winter, or if youhave driven through mud or muddy water, besure to thoroughly clean the underside as well.Use a hard direct stream of water to removeaccumulations of mud or corrosive materials.Use a good quality car-washing solution andfollow the manufacturer's directions on the pack-
age. These are available at your Hyundai deal-
er or auto parts outlet. Don't use strong house-hold detergents, gasoline, strong solvents or
abrasive cleaning powders as these may dam-age the finish. Use a clean sponge or cloth, rinse it frequently
and don't damage the finish by rubbing toohard. For stubborn spots, dampen them fre-
quently and remove them a little at a time. To clean whitewall tires, use a stiff brush or
soapy steel-wool scouring pad. To clean plastic wheel covers, use a clean
sponge or soft cloth and water. To clean cast aluminum alloy wheels, use a
mild soap or neutral detergent. Do not useabrasive cleaners. Protect the bare-metal sur-faces by cleaning, polishing and waxing. Be-
cause aluminum is subject to corrosion, be sureto give aluminum alloy wheels special attention
in winter. If you drive on salted roads, clean thewheels thoroughly afterwards. After washing, be sure to rinse thoroughly. If soapy water dries on the finish, streaking willresult. When the weather is warm and the humidity low, you may find it necessary to rinse eachsection immediately after washing to avoidstreaking. After rinsing, dry the car using a damp chamois
or soft, absorbent cloth. The reason for dryingthe car is to remove water from the car so it willdry without water spots. Don't rub, this candamage the finish. If you find any nicks or scratches in the paint, use touch-up paint to cover them to preventcorrosion. To protect the paintwork of the caragainst corrosion, you must clean your Hyundai

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS 7-1
7. EMISSION CON-
TROL SYSTEMS
H010A01A-GAT
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (If Installed)
Your Hyundai is equipped with an emission
control system to meet all requirements of the Emission prohibition rules of your province. There are three emission control systems which
are as follows.
1) Crankcase emission control system
2) Evaporative emission control system
3) Exhaust emission control system In order to assure the proper function of the
emission control systems, it is recommended that you have your car inspected and main-tained by an authorized Hyundai dealer in ac-cordance with the maintenance schedule in thismanual. the crankcase through the air intake hose.Inside the crankcase, the fresh air mixes withblow-by gases, which then pass through thePCV valve and into the induction system.
H010C02A-GAT
2. Evaporative Emission Control
System (If installed)
The Evaporative Emission Control System is
designed to prevent fuel vapors from escapinginto the atmosphere. Canister
While the engine is inoperative, fuel vapors
generated inside the fuel tank are absorbed and stored in the onboard canister. When the en-gine is running, the fuel vapors absorbed in thecanister are drawn into the induction systemthrough
the purge control solenoid valve.
Purge Control Solenoid Valve The purge control solenoid valve is controlled
by the ECM; when the engine coolant temper-ature is low, and during idling, it closes, so thatevaporated fuel is not taken into the engine.After engine warm-up, during ordinary driving, itopens so as to introduce evaporated fuel to theengine.
H010B01A-AAT
1. Crankcase Emission Control Sys-
tem
The Positive Crankcase Ventilation System is
employed to prevent air pollution caused byblow-by gases being emitted from the crank-case. This system supplies fresh filtered air to H010D01A-AAT
3. Exhaust Emission Control System
The exhaust emission control system is a high-
ly effective system which controls exhaust emis-sion while maintaining good vehicle perfor-mance.
H020A01A-GAT
CATALYTIC CONVERTER (If Installed)
The catalytic converter is part of the exhaust
emission control system. It's purpose is to re-move certain engine emission products from
the engine's exhaust. It looks something like amuffler and is located underneath the car in theexhaust system. Catalytic Converter
