DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 13
C170A01A-AAT HIGHER SPEED MOTORING Pre-Trip Inspections 1. Tires: Adjust the tire inflation pressures to specifica-tion. Low tire inflation pressures will result inoverheating and possible failure of the tires.Avoid using worn or damaged tires which mayresult in reduced traction or tire failure. NOTE: Never exceed the maximum tire inflation pres-sure shown on the tires. 2. Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil: High speed travel consumes more fuel thanurban motoring. Do not forget to check bothengine coolant and engine oil. 3. Drive belt: A loose or damaged drive belt may result inoverheating of the engine. C180A01A-AAT USE OF LIGHTS Check your lights regularly for correct operation and always keep them clean. When driving dur-ing the day in conditions of poor visibility, it ishelpful to drive with headlights on low beam. Thisenables you to be seen as well as to see.
C160I01A-AAT Don't Let Your Parking Brake FreezeUnder some conditions your parking brake can freeze in the engaged position. This is most likelyto happen when there is an accumulation of snowor ice around or near the rear brakes or if thebrakes are wet. If there is a risk the parking brakemay freeze, apply it only temporarily while youput the gear selector lever in "P" (automatic) or infirst or reverse gear (manual transaxle) andblock the rear wheels so the car cannot roll. Thenrelease the parking brake. C160K01A-AAT Carry Emergency Equipment Depending on the severity of the weather where you drive your car, you should carry appropriateemergency equipment. Some of the items youmay want to carry include tire chains, tow strapsor chains, flashlight, emergency flares, sand, ashovel, jumper cables, a window scraper, gloves,ground cloth, coveralls, a blanket, etc.
C160J01A-AAT Don't Let Ice and Snow Accumulate Underneath Under some conditions, snow and ice can build up under the fenders and interfere with the steer-ing. When driving in severe winter conditionswhere this may happen, you should periodicallycheck underneath the car to be sure the move-ment of the front wheels and the steering compo-nents is not obstructed.
C190B01S-AAT Trailer Hitches Select the proper hitch and ball combination, making sure that it's location is compatible withthat of the trailer or vehicle being towed.Use a quality non-equalizing hitch which distrib-utes the tongue load uniformly throughout thechassis. The hitch should be bolted securely to the car and installed by a qualified technician. DO NOTUSE A HITCH DESIGNED FOR TEMPORARYINSTALLATION AND NEVER USE ONE THATATTACHES ONLY TO THE BUMPER.
C190A01A-GAT TRAILER OR VEHICLE TOWINGIf you are considering towing with your car, you should first check with your Province Depart-ment of Motor Vehicles to determine their legalrequirements.Since laws vary from province to province, therequirements for towing trailers, cars, other typesof vehicles, or apparatus may differ. Ask yourHyundai dealer for further details before towing. CAUTION Do not do any towing with your car during itsfirst 2,000 km (1,200 miles) in order to allowthe engine to properly break in. Failure toheed this caution may result in serious en-gine or transaxle damage.

E030D01A-AAT When to Wax AgainYou should polish and wax the car again when water no longer beads on a clean surface butspreads out over a larger area. E030E01A-AAT Maintaining BumpersSpecial precautions must be observed to pre- serve the appearance of the bumpers on yourHyundai. They are:
o Be careful not to spill battery electrolyte or
hydraulic brake fluid on the bumpers. If you do, wash it off immediately with clear water.
o Be gentle when cleaning the bumper sur- faces. They are made of soft plastic and thesurface can be damaged if mistreated. Do notuse abrasive cleaners. Use warm water andmild soap or car-washing solution.
o Do not expose the bumpers to high tem- peratures. For example, if you have your carrepainted, do not leave the bumpers on thecar if the car is going to be placed in a high-temperature paint booth. E040A01A-AAT CLEANING THE INTERIOR To Clean the Vinyl Upholstery To clean the vinyl upholstery, first remove loose dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner. Then applya solution of mild soap or detergent and waterusing a clean sponge or soft cloth. Allow this tostay on the surface to loosen the dirt, then wipewith a clean damp sponge or cloth. If all the dirtstains are not removed, repeat this procedureuntil the upholstery is clean. Do not use gasoline,solvent, paint thinner or other strong cleaners.
E030B01A-AAT Spot CleaningDon't use gasoline, strong solvents or corrosive cleaning agents. These can damage the finish ofthe car. To remove road tar, use turpentine on aclean, soft cloth. Be gentle.To remove dead insects or tree sap, use warmwater and mild soap or car-washing solution.Soak the spot and rub gently. If the paint has lostits luster, use a commercial car-cleaning polish. E030C01A-AAT Polishing and Waxing Always wash and dry the car before polishing or waxing or using a combination cleaner and wax.Use a good quality commercial product andfollow the manufacturer's directions on the con-tainer. Polish and wax the bright trim pieces aswell as the paint. E040B01A-AAT To Clean the Leather Upholstery (If Installed) In the normal course of use, leather upholstered surfaces will, like any material, pick-up dust anddirt. This dust and dirt must be cleaned off or itmay work into the surface of the leather, causingdamage. Fine leather needs care, and should be cleaned when necessary. Washing leather thoroughlywith soap and water will keep your leather lus-trous, beautiful and ensure you have many yearsof wear.Take a piece of cheese cloth and using any mildsoap and lukewarm water, work up a good lather.Thoroughly wash the leather. Wipe clean with aslightly damp cloth and dry with soft cloth. Do thisas often as the leather becomes soiled.
sure that the outlets and the underside of thedoors are open. Paint damage can be caused bysmall accumulation of tar, industrial precipita-tion, tree resin, insects and bird droppings, whennot removed immediately. If water alone is notstrong enough to remove the accumulated dirt,use a mild car washing solution. Be sure to rinsethe surface after washing to remove the solution.Never allow the solution to dry on the paintedsurfaces.
