WARNING: The purpose of the fold-down rear seat backand the fold-up rear seat cushion is to allowyou to carry more objects than could other-wise be accommodated. Do not allow pas-
sengers to sit on the cargo area while the caris moving as this is not a proper seatingposition and no seat belts are available foruse when the seat back is folded down. This
could result in serious injury or death in caseof an accident or a sudden stop. Objectsshould not extend higher than the top of thefront seats. This could allow cargo to slideforward and cause injury or damage duringsudden stops. o When you return the rear seat to its upright
position, always be sure it has locked intoposition by pulling and pushing on the top ofthe seatback.

GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES
WARNING: Do not allow passengers to sit on the cargo area while the car is moving as this is not aproper seating position and no seat belts
are available for use when the seat back isfolded down. This could result in seriousinjury or death in case of an accident or a
sudden stop. Objects should not extendhigher than the top of the front seats. This
could allow cargo to slide forward and causeinjury or damage during sudden stops.
o After being parked, check to be sure the parking brake is not engaged and that theparking brake indicator light is out beforedriving away.
o Driving through water may get the brakes wet. They can also get wet when the car iswashed. Wet brakes can be dangerous!
Your car will not stop as quickly if the brakesare wet and it may also pull to one side. Todry the brakes, apply the brakes lightly untilthe braking action returns to normal, takingcare to keep the car under control at alltimes. If the braking action does not return to
normal, stop as soon as it is safe to do soand call your Hyundai dealer for assistance.
o Don't coast down hills with the car out of gear. This is extremely hazardous. Keep thecar in gear at all times, use the brakes toslow down, then shift to a lower gear so thatengine braking will help you maintain a safespeed.
o Exercise extreme caution when driving on a
slippery surface. Be especially careful whenbraking, accelerating or shifting gears. On aslippery surface, an abrupt change in ve-hicle speed can cause the drive wheels tolose traction and the vehicle to go out ofcontrol.
o Turn the overdrive switch on for good fuel economy and smooth driving. If engine brak-ing is needed in the "D" range or if repeatedupshifting and downshifting between 3rd and4th gear is needed when climbing a gentleslope, it is recommended that the overdriveswitch be turned off. Turn the overdriveswitch back on immediately afterward.
CAUTION:
o The risk of rollover is greatly increased if you lose control of your vehicle at high-way speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the roadway andthe driver oversteers to reenter the road-way.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the road- way, do not steer sharply. Instead, slowdown before pulling back into the travellanes.
o In a collision crash, on unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than aperson wearing a seatbelt.

Good Driving Practices
o Never move the gear selector lever from "P" or "N" to any other position with the acceler- ator pedal depressed.
o Never move the gear selector lever into "P" when the vehicle is in motion.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped be- fore you attempt to shift into "R".
o Never take the car out of gear and coast down a hill. This may be extremely hazard-ous. Always leave the car in gear whenmoving.
o Do not "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and malfunction. Instead,when you are driving down a long hill, slowdown and shift to a lower gear. When you dothis, engine braking will help slow the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may not be en-gaged.
o Always use the parking brake. Do not de- pend on placing the transaxle in "P" to keepthe car from moving.
drive switch is turned off, the transaxle will notupshift to the overdrive gear. For normal driv-ing, the selector lever should be left in the "D"position and the overdrive switch turned on.
If you need to accelerate rapidly, press the
accelerator pedal all the way to the floor. Thetransaxle will automatically shift to a lower gear,depending on the vehicle speed and load.
