SB050B1-E STEERING WHEEL LOCKWhen the key is removed, the steering column lock will be activated and will engage when the steering wheel is turned to the appropriate po- sition. It is not necessary to turn the wheel until locked each time the key is removed since in the event of any unauthorized attempt at re- moval, the lock will become effective as soon as the steering wheel is turned. To unlock the steering, insert the key and turn to the "ACC" position. If the steering is locked, it may be necessary to rock the steering wheel slightly to facilitate turning the key. Under no circum- stances should the key be forced since break- age of the key will occur.
SC060B1-E FUEL ECONOMY The following suggestions are made to assist in achieving the greatest degree of fuel economy.
o Maintaining a constant check on fuel con-
sumption will enable the most economical use pattern and driving style to be adopted.
o Avoid using the vehicle for very short jour- neys if possible, particularly when a coldstart is involved.
o Ensure that tyre pressures are maintained at the correct level.
o Use only the recommended grade of fuel.
o Avoid carrying unnecessary weight, and if a roof rack is in use, remove it as soon aspossible after use.
o Anticipate the road and conditions ahead to enable adjustments in speed to be madesmoothly. Avoid heavy acceleration and sharp braking.
o Avoid cruising at unnecessary high speeds.
o Always ensure that the periodic maintenance services are performed by a Hyundai dealer
at the time and/or mileage intervals speci- fied.
o Use the air conditioning only when neces-
sary.
SC060A1-E STARTING THE ENGINE 1. Ensure that the transmission is in neutral
and that the clutch pedal is held depressed (manual transmission) or the transmission selector is at the "P" position (automatic transmission vehicle).
2. Turn the ignition key to and hold at the
"Start" position until the engine starts. Whenthe engine has started, release the key.
NOTE: Do not operate the starter for more than 15seconds continuously or continue to oper- ate the starter after the engine has started to avoid damaging the starter motor. If the engine makes a false start, allow it and the starter motor to come to rest before at- tempting to start the engine again. Never attempt to start the engine with the trans- mission in gear. Do not depress the accel- erator pedal whilst starting the engine. Al- low the engine to idle for 20 seconds or so before driving the vehicle. CAUTION: Do not leave the vehicle unattended whilst idling. Never allow the vehicle to idle or warm up in a confined space (ie garage) longer than is necessary to move the vehi- cle into an open area.

2- 8 o Since the power assistance provided by the
brake servo is derived from the engine, coasting with the engine turned off or towing of the vehicle with the engine turned off will result in greatly increased pedal pressures being required to stop the vehicle.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with the accelerator pedal. This can cause thetransmission to overheat. Always use the brake pedal or parking brake.
SC140B1-E ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (Not all models) 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, ABS will increase vehicle control during braking. NOTE: During ABS operation, a slight pulsation may be felt in the brake pedal when the brakes are applied. Also, a noise may be heard in the engine compartment while brak- ing. These conditions are normal and indi- cate that the anti-lock brake system is func- tioning properly.
when you are driving down a long hill, slowdown 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 en-gaged.
o Always use the parking brake. Do not de- pend 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 whenbraking, accelerating or shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an abrupt change in vehi- cle speed can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle to go out of control.
WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel move- ments, such as sharp lane changes orfast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts.
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 travel lanes. o In a collision crash, un unbelted person
is significantly more likely to die than aperson wearing a seatbelt.
SC140A1-E EFFECTIVE BRAKINGBraking system performance and friction mate- rial life are greatly affected by the driving style adopted. The following suggestions are made to assist in achieving the best results from the braking system.
o Anticipate the road and conditions ahead in order that heavy braking may be avoided.
o When descending long gradients, use the engine to assist in retarding the vehicle to minimize the possibility of brake fade occur- ring.
o When trailer towing, ensure that the trailer brakes function correctly and use enginebraking to assist the vehicle braking system.
o Use only genuine Hyundai replacement brake pads and shoes to ensure consistentfriction characteristics and wear rates.
o After driving through deep water (e.g.
fording), the brakes may become wet and performance reduced. Always check brake efficiency after emerging from the water and dry the brakes by lightly depressing the brake pedal several times whilst driving slow- ly.
o Apply the parking brake only when the vehi- cle is at rest.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 9
WARNING: ABS will not prevent accidents due to im-proper or dangerous driving manoeuvres. Even though vehicle control is improved during emergency braking, always maintain a safe distance between you and objects ahead. Vehicle speeds should always be reduced during extreme road conditions. The braking distance for cars equipped with an anti-lock braking system may be longer than for those without it in the following road 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.
These roads should be driven at reduced speeds. The safety features of an ABS equipped vehicle should not be tested by high speed driving or cornering. This could endanger the safety of yourself or others. C300B01GK-GAT TCS ON/OFF ModeIn the TCS ON mode, the indicator in the instrument cluster will not be illuminated. To switch the TCS OFF mode, press the TCSswitch . To switch the TCS mode, press the TCS switch again. In the TCS OFF mode, the SLIP control will be deactivated and the TCS- OFF indicator in the instrument cluster will be illuminated. NOTE:
1) Turn off the engine. Then restart the
engine, and the TCS mode will automati-cally turn ON.
2) When the traction control is operating properly, you can feel a slight pulsationin the vehicle. This is only the effect of brake control and indicates nothing un- usual.
CAUTION:When the TCS indicator blinks, SLIP controlhas been activated. It also means that the road is slippery or your car is accelerating excessively. In this situation, release foot pressure from the accelerator pedal and maintain moderate speed. WARNING: Traction control is only a driving aid; allnormal precautions for driving in inclement weather and on slippery road surfaces should be observed.
C300A03Y-EAT TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS) (Not all models)
HGK156A-D
On slippery road surfaces, the traction control system (TCS) limits the drive wheels from spin- ning excessively, thus helping the car to accel- erate. It also provides sufficient driving force and steering performance as the car turns at accelerated speeds. SLIP Control Limits the drive wheels from spinning exces- sively during starting or while making accelerat- ed turns on slippery roads to avoid losing the driving force of the front wheels. Driving hints TCS does not actively apply brakes. Be sure to decelerate the car sufficiently before entering curves.

C300D01GK-GAT Indicator and WarningThe indicator should illuminate when the igni- tion key is turned to ON
or START but should
go out after three seconds. If the indicator does not illuminate, or the TCS indicator does not go out after 3 seconds, have it checked by an authorized dealer. Should there be any unusual conditions in the device, TCS-OFF either illuminates or blinks as a warning. If TCS-OFF illuminates or blinks, pull your carto a safe place and stop the engine. Then, start the engine again to check if the TCS-OFF indicator goes out. If the indicator remains lit even after the engine has been started, have your car checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer. NOTE:
1) When TCS-OFF illuminates or blinks, trac- tion control is automatically deactivatedfor safety.
3) When the engine starts, a click is heard
from the engine compartment; however, this is only the sound of traction control being checked.
4) When moving out of the mud or fresh snow, pressing the accelerator pedal maynot cause the engine speed to increase. 2) This warning function is not provided
when the driver choose the TCS-OFF mode. o Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated
to the recommended pressure. Incorrect infla-tion, either too much or too little, results in unnecessary tire wear. Check the tire pres- sures at least once a month.
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned cor-
rectly. Improper alignment can result fromhitting 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 maintenance costs, maintain your car in accordance with the maintenance schedule in Section 5. If you drive your car in severe conditions, more frequent maintenance is required (see Section 5 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum service, your car should be kept clean and free ofcorrosive materials. It is especially impor- tant that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed to accumulate on the underside of the car. This extra weight can result in increased fuel consumption and also contribute to corro- sion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary weight in your car. Weight is an enemy of good fueleconomy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than neces- sary. If you are waiting (and not in traffic),turn off your engine and restart only when you're ready to go.
SC150A1-F DRIVING FOR ECONOMYYou can save fuel and get more miles from your car if you follow these suggestions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate
rate. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts or full- throttle shifts and maintain a steady cruising speed. Don't race between stoplights. Try to adjust your speed to that of the other traffic so you don't have to change speeds unnec- essarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible. Al-ways maintain a safe distance from other vehicles so you can avoid unnecessary brak- ing. This also reduces brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your car uses. Driving ata moderate speed, especially on the high- way, is one of the most effective ways to reduce fuel consumption.
o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. This
can increase fuel consumption and also increase wear on these components. In ad- dition, driving with your foot resting on the brake pedal may cause the brakes to over- heat, which reduces their effectiveness and may lead to more serious consequences.

C190E01GK-EAT TOWING ATTACHMENTSIt is strongly recommended that only an Hyundai Approved towing attachment is used to ensure that the loads placed upon the body structure are correctly distributed. The use of a non approved attachment will result in the invalida- tion of the vehicle warranty. Hyundai towing attachments are designed and constructed to ensure maximum towing performance and ease of fitment. A range of accessories including electrical kits and mirrors are available through the Hyundai dealer network. It is of the utmost importance that those areas of the vehicle which are subjected to greater stress during towing are maintained in accor- dance with the recommendations given at the end of this book. In addition, the daily operating checks relating to engine oil, transmission oil and tyres must be performed at each refuelling to ensure maximum reliability and safety. The use of a proprietary stabiliser will assist inachieving an inherently stable outfit but whilst the use of such equipment will improve the characteristics of a balanced outfit, it will not compensate for a badly loaded and therefore unstable outfit. The tyres and braking equipment fitted to the trailer or caravan must be maintained in accor- dance with the recommendations of the manu- facturer. Special attention should be paid to tyres which deteriorate through time and expo-
o When driving in extreme conditions, the
windscreen wiper blades may fail to clearthe screen properly due to the formation of ice upon the blade edge. It will therefore be necessary to periodically remove such ice to restore their efficiency.
o If the power operated door mirrors become frozen, attempts to adjust these may dam-age the mechanism.
o The formation of snow or ice built up inside
the wheel arches may interfere with the road wheels or steering mechanism. In such in- stances, unusual noises or an increase in steering effort may result. Therefore, ensure that the wheel arches are checked periodi- cally and any accumulated snow or ice removed.
o It is advisable to carry emergency equip- ment including, torch, shovel, tow rope, blan-kets etc., if a journey is to be undertaken into areas of severe road conditions.

NOTE:
o The total gross vehicle weight with trailer
must not exceed the Gross Vehicle WeightRating (GVWR) shown on the vehicle identification plate (see page 8-1). The total gross vehicle weight is the com- bined weight of the vehicle, driver, all passengers and their luggage, cargo, hitch, trailer tongue load and other op- tional equipment.
o The front or rear axle weight must not exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating(GAWR) shown on the vehicle identifica- tion plate (see page 8-1). it is possible that your towing package does not ex- ceed the GVWR but exceeds the GAWR. Improper trailer loading and/or too much luggage in the boot can overload the rear axle. Redistribute the load and check the axle weight again.
sure rather than as a result of the distancestowed. The inside walls of the tyres should be inspected along with the outside walls for crack- ing and damage. The trailer wheel nut torque must be checked on a regular basis, preferably before each towing session. The trailer hitch and the safety catch mecha- nism must be maintained in good working or- der. The trailer break away cable or chain should be inspected for damage and should be attached to the vehicle towing attachment each and every time the trailer is hitched to the vehicle. Whilst towing, the performance of the vehicle will be reduced in terms of acceleration, braking and handling due to the increased loads placed upon the vehicle. The driver should anticipate the change in characteristics and adjust the driving style in keeping with these changes. Care should be exercised when cornering and braking to prevent the outfit becoming uncon- trollable by reducing cornering speeds and al- lowing increased braking distances. The driver should exercise care to ensure that when pulling away from rest particularly on uphill gradients the clutch unit is not subjected to excessive slippage which will reduce the useful life of this component. Use of the "Over- drive Off" "2" and "L" positions when driving vehicles with automatic transmission will assist with braking performance when long down hill gradients are encountered. Improved accelera-tion performance will be available by selecting "Overdrive Off","2", or "1" depending upon road speed if it is found that the transmission unit makes an undesirable upshift whilst hill climb- ing or overtaking. The transmission unit should be operated in "D" with the Overdrive "On" under normal circumstances to enhance fuel economy and reduce noise and engine wear.

5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pressure of all tires on the trailer and your car. Low tirepressure can seriously affect the handling. Also check the spare tire.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more af-
fected by crosswind and buffeting. When being passed by a large vehicle, keep a constant speed and steer straight ahead. If there is too much wind buffeting slow down to get out of the other vehicle's air turbulence.
8. When parking your car and trailer, especial- ly on a hill, be sure to follow all the normalprecautions. Turn your front wheel into the curb, set the parking brake firmly, and put the transmission in 1st or Reverse (manual) or Park (automatic). In addition, place wheel chocks at each of the trailer's tires.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving, and then applythe trailer brake controller by hand to be sure the brakes are working. This lets you check your electrical connection at the same time.
10. During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure, and that thelights and any trailer brakes are still working.

1. Bring the car to rest as soon as it is safe to do so and with the minimum amount ofbraking required which will assist in main- taining the maximum amount of control. The vehicle should be parked wherever possible upon firm level ground to facilitate wheel changing.
2. If the vehicle is creating a hazard and the road conditions do not permit the wheel to bechanged safely, assistance should be sought.
3. Passengers must not be allowed to remain inside the vehicle during wheel changing. Ifa puncture occurs whilst the vehicle is on a SD070A1-E CHANGING A FLAT TYRE
7. Proceed with caution until it is established
that the engine is operating normally. If the engine overheats repeatedly, the advice of a Hyundai dealer should be sought.
CAUTION: Serious loss of coolant indicates there is a leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundai dealer.
It is of the utmost importance that care is exer- cised when changing road wheels. Ensure that the parking brake is set and that the gear shift lever is in reverse (P, if the vehicle has automatic transmission).
D040A01GK-EAT TEMPORARY SPARE TYREThe following instructions for the temporary spare tyre should be observed:
1. Check inflation pressure as soon as practical
after installing the spare tyre, and adjust to the specified pressure. The tyre pressure should be periodically checked and maintained at the specified pressure while the tyre is stored.
2. The spare tyre should only be used temporari-
ly and should be returned to the luggagecompartment as soon as the original tyre can be repaired or replaced.
3. Continuous use at speeds of over 50 mph (80 km/h) is not recommended. 4. As the temporary spare tyre is specifically
designed for your car, it should not be used onany other vehicle.
5. The temporary spare tyre should not be used on any other wheels, nor should standard tyre, snow tyre, wheel covers or trim rings be used with the temporary spare wheel. If such use is attempted, damage to these items or other car components may occur.
6. The temporary spare tyre pressure should be checked once a month while the tyre is stored.
CAUTION:
o Do not use snow chains with your tempo- rary spare tyre.
o Do not use more than one temporary spare
tyre at a time.
