power steering Hyundai Coupe 2002 Owner's Manual

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
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- 12 WARNING: It is not recommended that the vehicle be used for towing until the first 1000 miles of Running In has been completed. All Hyundai coupe models are suited to towing trailers and caravans up to the limits indicated be- low. Coupe models fitted with automatic transmission have a transmission oil cooler and further transmission cooling should not be required.

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.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
3-8 since the steering lock is not designed to withstand the force required to hold the front wheels straight during the tow.
o The vehicle must not be towed with the front wheels on the ground for more than thirty miles.
SD100A2-E Automatic Transmission Vehicle
o NOT OK FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE QUIPPED VEHICLE
o OK FOR MANUAL TRANSAXLE
The vehicle may be towed by the conventional method using the towing eye at the front of the vehicle as an attachment point. In addition, a suspended tow may be given to the front of the vehicle without an ambulance. In the event of a suspended tow being given to the rear of the vehicle, the use of an ambulance is imper- ative.
o OK FOR AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL
TRANSAXLE EQUIPPED VEHICLE
CAUTION: The following restriction must be observed in order to avoid serious damage to the trans- mission. The vehicle must never be towed from the rear with the front wheels on the ground. The vehicle must not be towed until transmis- sion fluid has been added to bring the level up to the "HOT" marking on the dipstick. (The level will need to be reduced again after towing). The vehicle must not be towed at speeds faster than 25 mph. or distances greater than fifty miles. The general points regarding the steering lock etc. described in the preceding section (Manual transmission vehicle) should be observed.

SD090A1-E Manual Transmission Vehicle
o OK FOR AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL
TRANSAXLE EQUIPPED VEHICLE WITH NO DAMAGE
The vehicle may be towed by the conventionalmethod using the towing eye at the front of the vehicle as an attachment point. In addition, a suspended tow with or without an ambulance may be used with either the front or the rear wheels being suspended, provided the above caution is observed. In addition, the following points must be noted:
o If towing by conventional means, the ignition key must be at the "ACC" position, otherwise the steering lock will be activated.
o Because the brake system and steering sys- tem power assistance is derived from the engine, the amount of effort required to stop or steer the vehicle will be greater than normal.
o If a suspended tow is being given to the rear, the ignition key must be at the "ACC" position HGK200

SG020B1-E DAILY OPERATING CHECKS The following items should be checked on a daily basis or whenever the vehicle is refuelled, which- ever occurs sooner.
o Engine oil level.
o Engine coolant level.
o Power steering fluid level.
o Brake fluid level.
o Windscreen washer fluid level.
o Battery condition.
o Tyre condition and pressures.
o Operation and cleanliness of all lighting equip-
ment.
o Windscreen wiper and washer operation.
o Horn operation.
o Warning lamp operation.
o Adjustment and cleanliness of mirrors.
o Seat and seat belt adjustment and operation.
o Fluid leakage. The vehicle must not be driven if the daily oper- ating checks indicate that any item of equipment related to the safety or roadworthiness of the vehicle is not functioning correctly. SG030A1-E ENGINE OIL The correct engine oil level is of paramount importance. An excessively high or low oil level may result in irreparable damage being sus- tained by the engine. The engine oil level must be checked on a daily basis or whenever the vehicle is refuelled, whichever occurs sooner. In addition, it is imperative that only an approved grade and specification of oil is used to avoid the possibility of serious engine damage and prema- ture wear. The use of "budget price" oil is a false economy that must be avoided if the maximum reliability and useful life is to be obtained from the vehicle.
SG030B02GK-E Recommended Oil A multi grade oil having a specification which meets A.P.I. specification of SH, SG or above is recommended. The oil viscosity should be se- lected according to the operating environment of the engine by means of the table shown below. The engine oil recommendations are complete in themselves and the use of additives is neither required nor recommended. The use of engine oil additives may result in invalidation of the vehicle warranty.
