To Keep Locks from FreezingTo keep the locks from freezing, squirt an ap-
proved de-icer fluid or glycerine into the key
opening. If a lock is covered with ice, squirt it with
an approved de-icing fluid to remove the ice. If
the lock is frozen internally, you may be able to
thaw it out by using a heated key. Handle the
heated key with care to avoid burning the fingers.

Don't Let Your Parking Brake FreezeUnder some conditions your parking brake can
freeze in the engaged position. 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 the parking brake
may freeze, apply it only temporarily while you
put the gear selector 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.

overheating and possible failure of the tires.
Avoid using worn or damaged tires which may

making sure that it's location is compatible with
that of the trailer or vehicle being towed.
Use a quality non-equalizing hitch which distrib-

The hitch should be bolted securely to the car
and installed by a qualified technician. DO NOT
USE A HITCH DESIGNED FOR TEMPORARY

Safety Chains Safety ChainsSafety Chains Safety Chains
Safety ChainsShould the hitch connection between your car
and the trailer or vehicle you are towing fail, the
trailer or vehicle could wander dangerously across
other lanes of traffic and ultimately leave the
roadway. To eliminate this potentially dangerous
situation, safety chains, attached between your
car and the trailer or towed vehicle, are required
in most states.

Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips1. Before towing, check hitch and safety chain
connections as well as proper operation of
the trailer running lights, brake lights, and turn
signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a moderate
speed. (Less than 60 mph)
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than normal
conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking efficiency and
electrical charging performance, do not use
fifth gear (manual transaxle) or overdrive
(automatic transaxle).
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 tire
pressure can seriously affect the handling.
Also check the spare tire.

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, especially
on a hill, be sure to follow all the normal
precautions. Turn your front wheel into the
curb, set the parking brake firmly, and put the
transaxle 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 apply the
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, occasionally check to be
sure that the load is secure, and that the
lights and any trailer brakes are still working.
11. Avoid jerky starts, sudden acceleration or
sudden stops.
12. Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.
13. Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long
or too frequently. This could cause the brakes
to overheat, resulting in reduced braking effi-
ciency.
14. When going down a hill, shift into a lower gear
and use the engine braking effect.
When ascending a long grade, downshift the
transaxle to a lower gear and reduce speed to
reduce chances of engine overloading and/or
overheating.

clear water for at least 15 minutes. Then
promptly obtain medical attention. If you must

o To jump start a car with a discharged battery,
follow this procedure exactly:1. If the booster battery is installed in another
vehicle, be sure the two vehicles are not
touching.
2. Turn off all unnecessary lights and acces-
sories in both vehicles.
3. Attach the clamps of the jumper cable in the
exact location shown in the illustration. First,
attach one clamp of the jumper cable to the
positive (+) post or cable of the discharged
battery. Then attach the other end of the
same cable to the positive (+) post or cable
of the booster battery. Next, using the other
cable, attach one clamp to the negative (-)
post or cable of the booster battery. Then
attach the other end of that cable to a solid
metal part of 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 a few minutes. This
will help to assure that the booster battery is
fully charged. During the jumping operation,
run the engine in this vehicle at about 2,000
rpm.
5. Start the engine in the car with the discharged
battery using the normal starting procedure.

cables connected and let the engine run at
fast idle or about 2,000 rpm for several min-

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATSIf your temperature gauge indicates overheating,
you experience a loss of power, or hear loud
pinging or knocking and the engine is probably
too hot. If this happens and, 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" (auto-
matic), 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 under the car
or steam is coming out from the hood, stop
the engine. Do not open the hood until the
engine coolant has stopped running or the
steaming has stopped. If there is no visible
loss of engine coolant and no steam, leave
the engine running and check to be sure the
engine cooling fan is operating. If the fan is
not running, turn the engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is
missing. If it is not missing, check to see that
it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be satis-
factory, check for engine coolant leaking from
the radiator, hoses or under the car. (If the air
conditioning had been in use, it is normal for
cold water to be draining from it when you
stop).

Emergency Towing
For emergency towing when no commercial tow
vehicle is available, attach a tow cable, chain or
strap to one of the tie-down hooks under the front
of your car. Do not attempt to tow your vehicle in
this manner on any unpaved surface. This could
result in serious damage to your car.
Nor should towing be attempted if the wheels,
drive train, axles, steering or brakes are dam-
aged. Before towing, be sure the transaxle is in
neutral and the key is in "ACC" (with the engine
off) or in the "ON" position (with the engine
running). A driver must be in the towed car to
steer it and operate the brakes.

Specified Scheduled ProceduresThese are the procedures such as inspec-
tions, adjustments and replacements that are
listed in the maintenance charts starting on
page 5-3. These procedures must be per-
formed at the intervals shown in the mainte-
nance schedule to assure that your warranty
remains in effect. Although it is strongly rec-
ommended that they be performed by the
trained technicians at your Hyundai dealer,
these procedures may be performed at any
qualified service facility.
It is suggested that genuine Hyundai service
parts be used for any required repairs or
replacements. Other parts of equivalent qual-
ity 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 with-
out affecting your warranty coverage but you
should always be sure these are equivalent to
the quality of the original Hyundai parts. Your

To ensure that you receive the greatest num-

Hyundai, certain maintenance procedures
must be performed. Although careful design
and engineering have reduced these to a
minimum, those that are required are of the
utmost importance.
It is your responsibility to have these mainte-
nance procedures performed to comply with
the terms of the warranties covering your new
Hyundai. The Owner's Handbook supplied
with your new vehicle provides further infor-
mation about these warranties.

can document the required procedures
being performed to keep your warranties
in effect. This is especially important when
service is not performed by an authorized
Hyundai dealer.

and repairs, you may find it helpful to have
an official Hyundai Shop Manual. A copy of
this publication may be purchased at your

heat sources, such as the exhaust manifold.
Inspect the hose routing to assure that the
hoses do not come in contact with any heat
source, sharp edges or moving component
which might cause heat damage or mechani-

as clamps and couplings, to make sure they
are secure, and that no leaks are present.
