DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

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 racingthe engine beyond its safe limit. This can be avoided by shifting at the recommended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air conditioning system is oper-ated by engine power so your fueleconomy is reduced when you use it.
C150A01A-AAT Avoid braking or gear changing in cor- ners, especially when roads are wet. Ideally, corners should always be taken under gentle acceleration. If you followthese suggestions, tire wear will be held to a minimum.SMOOTH CORNERINGC160A01A-AAT The more severe weather conditions of winter result in greater wear and other problems. To minimize the prob- lems of winter driving, you should fol-low these suggestions:

booster battery. Then attach the other end of that cable to a solid metal partof the engine away from the battery. Do not connect the cable to any moving part.
4. Start the engine in the car with the booster battery and let it run for afew minutes. This will help to as-sure that the booster battery is fully charged. During the jumping opera- tion, run the engine in this vehicle atabout 2000 rpm.
5. Start the engine in the car with the
discharged battery using the nor-mal starting procedure. After the engine starts, leave the jumper cables connected and let the enginerun at fast idle or about 2000 rpm for several minutes.
6. carefully remove the jumper cables in the reverse order of attachment.
If you do not know why your battery became discharged (because the lights were left on, etc.), have the charging system checked by your Hyundaidealer. D030A02A-AAT If your temperature gauge indicates overheating, you experience a loss of power, or hear loud pinging or knock- ing, the engine is probably too hot. Ifthis happens to you, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as
it is safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P"
(automatic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If engine coolant is running out un- der the car or steam is coming outfrom the hood, stop the engine. Donot open the hood until the engine coolant has stopped running or the steaming has stopped. If there is novisible loss of engine coolant and no steam, leave the engine running and check to be sure the enginecooling fan is operating. If the fan is not running, turn the engine off.
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
4. Check to see if the water pump drivebelt is missing. If it is not missing, check to see that it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be satisfactory, check for engine coolant leakingfrom the radiator, hoses or under the car. (If the air conditioning had been in use, it is normal for coldwater to be draining from it when you stop).
WARNING:
While the engine is running, keephair, hands, and clothing away from moving parts such as the fan anddrive belts to prevent injury.
5. If the water pump drive belt is broken or engine coolant is leaking out, stop the engine immediately and call thenearest Hyundai dealer for assis- tance.

CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID
To add brake fluid, first wipe away any dirt then unscrew the fluid reservoircap. Slowly pour the recommended fluid into the reservoir. Do not overfill. Carefully replace the cap on the reser-voir and tighten. G130A01S-AAT

Adding Brake Fluid
WARNING:
Handle brake fluid carefully. It can
damage your vision if it gets into your eyes. Use only DOT 3 or DOT4 specification fluid from a sealed container. Do not allow the fluid can or reservoir to remain openany longer than required. This will avoid entry of dirt and moisture which can damage the brake sys- tem and cause improper opera- tion. The clutch fluid level in the mastercylinder should be checked when performing other under hood services. The system should be checked forleakage at the same time. Check to make certain that the clutch fluid level is always between the "MAX" and"MIN" level markings on the fluid res- ervoir. Fill as required. Fluid loss indi- cates a leak in the clutch systemwhich should be inspected and re- paired immediately. Consult your Hyundai dealer.G140A01A-AAT
Keeping the Condenser Clean
The air conditioning condenser (and
engine radiator) should be checked periodically for accumulation of dirt, dead insects, leaves, etc. These caninterfere with maximum cooling effi- ciency. When removing such accu- mulations, brush or hose them awaycarefully to avoid bending the cooling fans. AIR CONDITIONING CARE

19CHANGING THE CLIMATE CONTROL AIR FILTER
G145A03GK-GAT
(In front of blower unit)(If installed)
The climate control air filter is located in front of the blower unit behind the glove box.It helps to decrease the amount ofpollutants entering the car.
1. Remove the mounting screws on the downside of the glove box. OGK076020
G140C01A-AAT
Lubrication
To lubricate the compressor and theseals in the system, the air condition- ing should be run for at least 10 minutes each week. This is particu-larly important during cool weather when the air conditioning system is not otherwise in use.
!
G140B01A-AAT
Checking the Air Conditioning Operation
1. Start the engine and let it run at
fast idle for several minutes with the air conditioning set at the maxi- mum cold setting.
2. If the air coming out of the in-dash vents is not cold, have the air con-ditioning system inspected by yourHyundai dealer.
CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning sys-
tem for extended periods of timewith a low refrigerant level maydamage the compressor.

Checking Engine Cooling Fan
The engine coolant fan should come on automatically if the engine coolant temperature is high. G220C01A-AAT
Checking Condenser Cooling Fan
The condenser coolant fan should come on automatically whenever the air conditioning is in operation. G230A01GK-GAT
POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
The power steering fluid level should
be checked regularly.
To check the power steering fluid
level, be sure the ignition is "OFF", then check to make certain that the power steering fluid level is betweenthe "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluid reservoir. NOTE:
o Grinding noise from the power
steering pump may be heard im- mediately after the engine is started in extremely cold condi- tions (below - 20°C). If the noisestops during warm up, there is no abnormal function in the sys- tem. It is due to a power steeringfluid characteristic in extremely cold conditions.
o Do not start the engine when the power steering oil reservoir isempty.
