BEFORE STARTING
THE ENGINEC020A01TG-AATBefore 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 possible
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 head-
rest to be sure they are in their proper
positions.
6. Lock all the doors.
7. Fasten your seat belt and be sure that
all other occupants have fastened
theirs.
8. Turn off all lights and accessories that
are not needed.
9. When you turn the ignition switch to
"ON", check that all appropriate warn-
ing lights are operating and that you
have sufficient fuel.
10. Check the operation of warning lights
and all bulbs when key is in the "ON"
position.
WARNING:
o Always wear appropriate shoes when
operating your vehicle. Unsuitable
shoes (high heels, ski boots, etc.) may
interfere with your ability to use the
brake and accelerator pedal.
o All passengers must be properly
belted whenever the vehicle is mov-
ing. Refer to pages: 1-26 through 1-
34 for more information on their proper
use.

C090N05O-AATGood Driving Practiceso Never move the gear selector lever
from "P" or "N" to any other position with
the accelerator 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
before you attempt to shift into "R".
o Never take the car out of gear and coast
down a hill. This may be extremely
hazardous. Always leave the car in gear
when moving.
o Do not "ride" the brakes. This can cause
them to overheat and malfunction. In-
stead, when you are driving down a
long hill, slow down and shift to a lower
gear. When you do this, engine braking
will help slow the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may not
be engaged.
WARNING:
o Always buckle-up! In a collision, an
unbelted occupant is significantly
more likely to be seriously injured or
killed than a properly belted occu-
pant.
o Avoid high speeds when cornering or
turning.
o Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
C090J01TG-GATSHIFT LOCK RELEASEIf you cannot move the shift lever from the
"P" (Park) position to any other position
with the brake pedal fully depressed and
the ignition key in the "ON" position, push
the shift lock release button down with a
thin object such as a flat-head screwdriver.
Then, with the brake pedal depressed,
move the shift lever to the desired position,
and then the shift lock release button will
automatically return to its original position
after shifting from the "P" (Park) position.
C090J01TG
If you need to use the shift lock release, it
could mean your car is developing a prob-
lem. Have the car checked by your Hyundai
dealer.o Always use the parking brake. Do not
depend on placing the transaxle in "P"
to keep the car from moving.
o Exercise extreme caution when driving
on a slippery surface. Be especially
careful when braking, accelerating or
shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an
abrupt change in vehicle speed can
cause the drive wheels to lose traction
and the vehicle to go out of control.
o Optimum vehicle performance and
economy is obtained by smoothly de-
pressing and releasing the accelerator
pedal.

C310B01TG-AATESC ON/OFF ModeWhen the ESC is operating, the ESC indi-
cator in the instrument cluster will blink.
If you turn the system off by pressing the
ESC switch, the ESC-OFF indicator will
come on and stay on. In the ESC-OFF
mode, the stability control will be deacti-
vated. Adjust your driving accordingly. To
turn the system back on, press the switch
again. The ESC-OFF indicator should go
off.NOTE:o The ESC mode will automatically be
turned ON after the engine is turned
off and restarted.
o A click sound may be heard in the
engine compartment when the ve-
hicle begins to move after the engine
is started. These conditions are nor-
mal and indicate that the Electronic
Stability Control System is function-
ing properly. The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) sys-
tem is an electronic system designed to
help the driver maintain vehicle control
under adverse conditions. It is not a substi-
tute for safe driving practices. Factors in-
cluding speed, road conditions and driver
steering input can all affect whether ESC
will be effective in preventing a loss of
control. It is still your responsibility to drive
and corner at reasonable speeds and to
leave a sufficient margin of safety.
!
CAUTION:
Driving with varying tire or wheel sizes
may cause the ESC system to malfunc-
tion. When replacing tires, make sure
they are the same size as your original
tires.
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) sys-
tem is designed to stabilize the vehicle
during cornering manuevers. ESC checks
where you are steering and where the
vehicle is actually going. ESC applies the
brakes at individual wheels and intervenes
in the engine management system to sta-
bilize the vehicle.

DRIVING FOR ECONOMYC140A02A-AATYou can save fuel and get more miles from
your car if you follow these suggestions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moder-
ate rate. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts
or full-throttle shifts and maintain a
steady cruising speed. Don't race be-
tween stoplights. Try to adjust your
speed to that of the other traffic so you
don't have to change speeds unneces-
sarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos-
sible. Always maintain a safe distance
from other vehicles so you can avoid
unnecessary braking. This also reduces
brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster
you drive, the more fuel your car uses.
Driving at a moderate speed, espe-
cially on the highway, is one of the most
effective ways to reduce fuel consump-
tion.
o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal.
This can increase fuel consumption and
also increase wear on these compo-
nents. In addition, driving with your foot
resting on the brake pedal may cause
the brakes to overheat, which reduces
their effectiveness and may lead to more
serious consequences. o 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 or if the
brakes are wet. If there is a risk that the
parking brake may freeze, apply it only
temporarily while you put the gear se-
lector lever in "P" (automatic) or in first
or reverse gear (manual transaxle) and
block the rear wheels so the car cannot
roll. Then release the parking brake.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade
with the accelerator pedal. This can
cause the transaxle to overheat. Al-
ways use the brake pedal or parking
brake.o Take care of your tires. Keep them in-
flated to the recommended pressure.
Incorrect inflation, either too much or
too little, results in unnecessary tire
wear. Check the tire pressures at least
once a month.
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned
correctly. Improper alignment can re-
sult from hitting curbs or driving too fast
over irregular surfaces. Poor alignment
causes faster tire wear and may also
result in other problems as well as
greater fuel consumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For
better fuel economy and reduced main-
tenance costs, maintain your car in ac-
cordance with the maintenance sched-
ule in Section 5. If you drive your car in
severe conditions, more frequent main-
tenance is required (see Section 5 for
details).
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 allowed to accumulate
on the underside of the car. This extra
weight can result in increased fuel con-
sumption and also contribute to corro-
sion.

C160A01A-AATThe more severe weather conditions of
winter result in greater wear and other
problems. To minimize the problems of
winter driving, you should follow these
suggestions:WINTER DRIVING
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary
weight in your car. Weight reduces fuel
economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than
necessary. If you are waiting (and not in
traffic), turn off your engine and restart
only when you're ready to go.
o Remember, your Hyundai does not re-
quire extended warm-up. After the en-
gine has started, allow the engine to run
for 10 to 20 seconds prior to placing the
vehicle in gear. In very cold weather,
however, give your engine a slightly
longer warm-up period.
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 a lower gear.
Over-revving is racing the engine be-
yond its safe limit. This can be avoided
by shifting at the recommended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The
air conditioning system is operated by
engine power so your fuel economy is
reduced when you use it.
SMOOTH CORNERINGC150A01A-AATAvoid braking or gear changing in corners,
especially when roads are wet. Ideally,
corners should always be taken under
gentle acceleration. If you follow these
suggestions, tire wear will be held to a
minimum.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS2
F010C01A-AATSpecified Scheduled ProceduresThese are the procedures such as inspec-
tions, adjustments and replacements that
are listed in the maintenance charts start-
ing on page 5-4. These procedures must
be performed at the intervals shown in the
maintenance schedule to assure that your
warranty remains in effect. Although it is
strongly recommended that they be per-
formed by the trained technicians at your
Hyundai dealer, these procedures may be
performed at any qualified service facility.
It is suggested that genuine Hyundai ser-
vice parts be used for any required repairs
or replacements. Other parts of equivalent
quality such as engine oil, engine coolant,
manual or auto transaxle oil, brake fluid
and so on which are not supplied by
Hyundai Motor Company or its distributor
may be used without affecting your war-
ranty coverage but you should always be
sure these are equivalent to the quality of
the original Hyundai parts. Your Owner's
Handbook provides further information
about your warranty coverage.
F010A01A-AATService RequirementsTo ensure that you receive the greatest
number of miles of satisfying operation
from your Hyundai, certain maintenance
procedures must be performed. Although
careful design and engineering have re-
duced these to a minimum, those that are
required are of the utmost importance.
It is your responsibility to have these main-
tenance procedures performed to comply
with the terms of the warranties covering
your new Hyundai. The Owner's Hand-
book supplied with your new vehicle pro-
vides further information about these war-
ranties.
F010B01A-AATMaintenance RequirementsThe maintenance required for your
Hyundai can be divided into three main
areas:
o Specified scheduled procedures
o General checks
o Do-it-yourself maintenance

SCHEDULED MAINTE-
NANCE REQUIREMENTSF020A02Y-AATo Inspection should be performed any
time a malfunction is experienced or
suspected.
o Receipts for all emission control system
services should be retained to demon-
strate compliance with conditions of the
emissions system warranty.
o After 120 months or 150,000 miles
(240,000 km), continue to follow the
prescribed maintenance intervals.
o For severe usage maintenance require-
ments, see page 5-6 of this section.
F010D02A-AATGeneral ChecksThese are the regular checks you should
perform when you drive your Hyundai or
you fill the fuel tank. A list of these items will
be found on page 6-3.F010E01A-AATDo-It-Yourself MaintenanceIf you are mechanically inclined, own a few
tools that are required and want to take the
time to do so, you can inspect and service
a number of items. For more information
about doing it yourself, see Section 6.
F010F01A-AATA Few Tipso Whenever you have your Hyundai ser-
viced, keep copies of the service records
in your glove box. This will help ensure
that you can document that the required
procedures have been performed to
keep your warranties in effect. This is
especially important when service is
not performed by an authorized
Hyundai dealer.
o If you choose to do your own mainte-
nance and repairs, you may find it
helpful to have an official Hyundai Shop
Manual. A copy of this publication may
be purchased at your Hyundai dealer's
parts department.

Engine oil is essential to the performance
and service of the engine. It is suggested
that you check the oil level at least once a
week in normal use and more often if you
are on a trip or driving in severe conditions.
MAINTENANCE PRECAU-
TIONS
!
G020D01TG-GATImproper or incomplete service may result
in problems. This section gives instruc-
tions only for the maintenance items that
are easy to perform.
Several procedures should be done by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.NOTE:Improper owner maintenance during the
warranty period may affect warranty
coverage.
WARNING:
o Performing maintenance work on a
vehicle can be dangerous. You can be
seriously injured while performing
some maintenance procedures. If you
lack sufficient knowledge and experi-
ence or the proper tools and equip-
ment to do the work, have it done by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Working under the hood with the en-
gine running is dangerous. It becomes
even more dangerous when you wear
jewelry or loose clothing. These can
become entangled in moving parts
and result in injury. Therefore, if you
must run the engine while working
under the hood, make certain that you
remove all jewelry (especially rings,
bracelets, watches, and necklaces)
and all neckties, scarves, and similar
loose clothing before getting near the
engine or cooling fans.

G030C01JM-AATTo Check the Oil LevelBefore checking the oil, warm up the en-
gine to the normal operating temperature
and be sure your car is parked on level
ground. Turn the engine off.
Wait five minutes, then remove the dip-
stick, wipe it off, fully reinsert the dipstick
and withdraw it again. Then note the high-
est level the oil has reached on the dip-
stick. It should be between the upper ("F")
and lower ("L") range.
!
G030C01TG
NOTE:o For good fuel economy, SAE 5W-20
(5W-30), ILSAC GF-3 engine oil is pre-
ferred regardless of regional option
and engine variation.
o If SAE 5W-20, ILSAC GF-3 engine oil is
not available, secondary recom-
mended engine oil for corresponding
temperature range can be used.
G030D02TG-AATAdding OilIf 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
counterclockwise.
