Your Hyundai is equipped with dual- diagonal braking systems. This meansyou still have braking on two wheels even if one of the dual systems should fail. With only one of the dual systemsworking, more than normal pedal travel and greater pedal pressure are re- quired to stop the car. Also, the car willnot stop in as short a distance with only half of the brake system working. If the brakes fail while you are driving, shiftto a lower gear for additional engine braking and stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so.

o Automotive fuels are flammable/
explosive materials. When refuel- ing, please note the following guidelines carefully. Failure tofollow these guidelines may re- sult in severe personal injury, se- vere burns or death by fire orexplosion.
- Before refueling always note thelocation of the Emergency Gaso- line Shut-Off, if available, at the gas station facility.
- Before touching the fuel nozzle
or fuel filler cap, you shouldeliminate potentially dangerous static electricity discharge bytouching another metal part of the front of the vehicle, a safe distance away from the fuel fillerneck, nozzle, or other gas source.
- Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refueling.Do not touch, rub or slide against any item or fabric (polyester,satin, nylon, etc.) capable of pro- ducing static electricity. Static electricity discharge can ignitefuel vapors resulting in explo- sion.If you must re-enter the vehicle,
you should once again elimi- nate potentially dangerous static electricity discharge by touch-ing a metal part of the vehicle, away from the fuel filler neck, nozzle or other gasoline source.
- When using a portable fuel con- tainer be sure to place the con-tainer on the ground prior torefueling. Static electricity dis- charge from the container can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.Once refueling has begun, con- tact with the vehicle should be maintained until the filling iscomplete. Use only portable fuel containers designed to carry and store gasoline.
- Do not use cellular phones around a gas station or whilerefueling any vehicle. Electriccurrent and/or electronic inter- ference from cellular phones can potentially ignite fuel vaporscausing a fire. If you must use your cellular phone use it in a place away from the gas station. - When refueling always shut the
engine off. Sparks produced byelectrical components related tothe engine can ignite fuel va- pors causing a fire. Always in- sure that the engine is OFF be-fore and during refueling. Once refueling is complete, check to make sure the fuel filler cap anddoor are securely closed, before starting the engine.
- Do not light any fire around a gas station. DO NOT use matchesor a lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or leave a lit cigarette in yourvehicle while at a gas station especially during refueling. Automotive fuel is highly flam-mable and can, when ignited, result in explosion by flames.
- If a fire breaks out during refuel- ing, leave the vicinity of the ve-hicle, and immediately contact the manager of the gas stationor contact the police and local fire department. Follow any safety instructions they provide.

3BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
C020A01A-AAT Before you start the engine, you should always:
1. Look around the vehicle to be sure
there are no flat tires, puddles of oil, water or other indications of pos- sible trouble.
2. After entering the car, check to be sure the parking brake is engaged.
3. Check that all windows and lights are clean.
4. Check that the interior and exterior
mirrors are clean and in position.
5. Check your seat, seatback and headrest to be sure they are in theirproper positions.
6. Lock all the doors.
7. Fasten your seat belt and be sure
that all other occupants have fas- tened theirs.
8. Turn off all lights and accessories
that are not needed. C030A01TG-GAT COMBINATION IGNITION SWITCH
o Place the shift lever in "P" (park) and
depress the brake pedal fully.
o To start the engine, insert the ignition key and turn it to the "START" posi- tion. Release it as soon as the en-gine starts. Do not hold the key in the "START" position for more than 15 seconds.
NOTE: For safety, the engine will not start if the shift lever is not in "P" or "N" position.
9. When you turn the ignition switch to

o Keep your car clean. For maximum service, your Hyundai should be kept clean and free of corrosive materials. It is especially important that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be al-lowed to accumulate on the under- side of the car. This extra weight can result in increased fuel con-sumption and also contribute to cor- rosion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unneces- sary weight in your car. Weight re-duces fuel economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than necessary. If you are waiting (andnot in traffic), turn off your engine and restart only when you're readyto go.
o Remember, your Hyundai does not
require extended warm-up. As soonas the engine is running smoothly, you can drive away. In very cold weather, however, give your enginea slightly longer warm-up period.
your foot resting on the brake pedalmay cause the brakes to overheat,which reduces their effectiveness and may lead to more serious con- sequences.
o Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated to the recommended pres-sure. Incorrect inflation, either toomuch or too little, results in unnec- essary tire wear. Check the tire pres- sures at least once a month.
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper alignment canresult from hitting curbs or drivingtoo fast over irregular surfaces. Poor alignment causes faster tire wear and may also result in other prob-lems as well as greater fuel con- sumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For
better fuel economy and reducedmaintenance costs, maintain your car in accordance with the mainte-nance schedule in Section 5. If you drive your car in severe conditions, more frequent maintenance is re-quired (see Section 5 for details). o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine.
Lugging is driving too slowly in too high a gear resulting in the engine bucking. If this happens, shift to alower 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 oper-ated by engine power so your fuel economy is reduced when you use it.

C160I01A-AAT Don't Let Your Parking Brake Freeze Under some conditions your parking brake can freeze in the engaged posi-tion. This is most likely to happen when there is an accumulation of snow or ice around or near the rear brakes orif the brakes are wet. If there is a risk the parking brake may freeze, apply it only temporarily while you put the gearselector lever in "P" (automatic) or in first or reverse gear (manual transaxle) and block the rear wheels so the carcannot roll. Then release the parking brake. C160J01A-AAT Don't Let Ice and Snow Accumu- late Underneath Under some conditions, snow and ice can build up under the fenders andinterfere with the steering. When driv- ing in severe winter conditions where this may happen, you should periodi-cally check underneath the car to be sure the movement of the front wheels and the steering components is notobstructed. C160K01A-AAT Carry Emergency Equipment Depending on the severity of the weather where you drive your car, you should carry appropriate emergency equipment. Some of the items youmay want to carry include tire chains, tow straps or chains, flashlight, emer- gency flares, sand, a shovel, jumpercables, a window scraper, gloves, ground cloth, coveralls, a blanket, etc.HIGHER SPEED MOTORING
C170A01A-AAT Pre-Trip Inspections 1. Tires: Adjust the tire inflation pressures tospecification. Low tire inflation pres- sures will result in overheating and possible failure of the tires.Avoid using worn or damaged tires which may result in reduced traction or tire failure. NOTE: Never exceed the maximum tire in- flation pressure shown on the tires. 2. Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil: High speed travel consumes more fuelthan urban motoring. Do not forget to check both engine coolant and engine oil. 3. Drive belt: A loose or damaged drive belt mayresult in overheating of the engine.
