1- 32 B580A01A-AAT SUNVISOR Your Hyundai is equipped with sun visors to give the driver and front passenger either frontal orsideward shade. The sun visors are fitted on bothsides on all models. To reduce glare or to shut outdirect rays of the sun, turn the sun visor down toblock the annoyance.A vanity mirror is provided on the back of the sunvisor for the front passenger. NOTE: The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)label containing useful information can befound on the back of each sun visor. WARNING: Do not place the sun visor in such a mannerthat it obscures visibility of the roadway,traffic or other objects.
B580A01AWARNING: Make sure that the support rod has beenreleased prior to closing the hood. Alwaysdouble check to be sure that the hood isfirmly latched before driving away. If it is notlatched, the hood could fly open while thevehicle is being driven, causing a total loss ofvisibility, which might result in an accident.The support rod must be inserted completelyinto the hole provided in the hood wheneveryou inspect the engine compartment. Thiswill prevent the hood from falling and possi-bly injuring you. Do not move the vehicle withthe hood in the raised position, as vision isobstructed and the hood could fall or bedamaged.

1. Pull the release knob to unlatch the hood.
2. Press the safety catch lever up and lift the
hood.
3. Hold the hood open with the support rod. Before closing the hood, return the support rod to its clip to prevent it from rattling. Lower the hooduntil it is about 30 cm (1 ft.) above the closedposition and let it drop. Make sure that it locks intoplace.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
3-2 2. Turn off all unnecessary lights and acces-
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.
WARNING: The gas produced by the battery during the
jump start operation is highly explosive. If these instructions are not followed exactly,serious personal injury and damage to thevehicle may occur! If you are not sure howto follow this procedure, seek qualified as-sistance. Automobile batteries contain sul-furic acid. This is poisonous and highlycorrosive. When jump starting, wear protec-tive glasses and be careful not to get acid onyourself, your clothing or on the car.
o If you should accidentally get acid on your skin or in your eyes, immediately remove any contaminated clothing and flush thearea with clear water for at least 15 minutes.Then promptly obtain medical attention. Ifyou must be transported to an emergencyfacility, continue to apply water to the affect-ed area with a sponge or cloth.
o The gas produced by the battery during the jump start operation is highly explosive. Donot smoke or allow a spark or an open flamein the vicinity.
o The battery being used to provide the jump start must be 12-volt. If you cannot deter-mine that it is a 12-volt battery, do notattempt to use it for the jump start.
o To jump start a car with a discharged bat- tery, follow this procedure exactly:
1. If the booster battery is installed in another vehicle, be sure the two vehicles are nottouching. D030A01A-AAT
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
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).

CHANGING THE OIL AND FILTER 3. Slide underneath the car and loosen the
drain plug by turning it counterclockwise with a wrench of the proper size. Be surethat a drain pan is in position to catch the oilas it drains out, then remove the drain plug.
WARNING: Be very careful when draining the engine oil as it may be hot enough to burn you!
4. When the oil has stopped draining, replace the drain plug using a new washer andretighten by turning it clockwise. 6. First, remove the vehicle number plate. Un-
screw the tapping screws (4EA) and re-move the front bumper grille.

The engine oil and filter should be changed at
those intervals specified in the maintenance schedule in Section 5. If the car is being driven
in severe conditions, more frequent oil and filter
changes are required.
The procedure for changing the oil and filter is
as follows:
1. Park the car on level ground and set the parking brake. Start the engine and let it warm up until the needle on the coolanttemperature gauge moves above the lowest
mark. Turn the engine off and place the gearselector lever in "P" (automatic transaxle) orreverse gear (manual transaxle).
2. Open the hood and remove the engine oil filler cap.

WARNING: The cooling fan is controlled by engine cool-
ant temperature and may sometimes oper- ate even when the engine is not running.Use extreme caution when working near theblades of the cooling fan, so that you are notinjured by a rotating fan blade. As the en-gine coolant temperature decreases, the fanwill automatically shut off. This is a normalcondition.

Recommended Brake Fluid
Use only hydraulic brake fluid conforming to
DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications in your braking G120A01A-AAT
CHECKING THE BRAKES
CAUTION: Because brakes are essential to the safe
operation of the car, it is suggested that they be checked and inspected by yourHyundai dealer. The brakes should bechecked and inspected for wear at thoseintervals specified in the vehicle mainte-nance schedule in Section 5.

Checking the Brake Fluid Level
WARNING: Use caution when handling brake fluid. It
can damage your vision if it gets into your eyes. It will also damage your vehicle's paintif spilled on it and not removed immediately.
G110D02A-GAT
To Check the Automatic Transaxle Fluid Level
Park the car on level ground with the parking
brake engaged. When the transaxle fluid level is checked, the transaxle fluid should be atnormal operating temperature and the engineidling. While the engine is idling, apply the brakes andmove the gear selector lever from "P" to eachof its other positions — "R", "N", "D", "2", "L" —and then return to "N" or "P" with the engine stillidling:
1. Open the hood, being careful to keep hands,
long hair and clothing clear of any moving parts.
2. Remove the transaxle dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert the dipstick as far as it will go, thenremove it again. Now check the fluid level onthe dipstick. It should be in the "HOT" rangeon the dipstick.
Fluid level should be within this range
3. If the transaxle fluid level is low, use a funnel to add transaxle fluid through the dipsticktube until the level reaches the "HOT" range.Do not overfill.
