o Station Swapping - As a FM signal weakens, another more powerful
signal near the same frequency may
begin to play. This is because your
radio is designed to lock onto the
clearest signal. If this occurs, select
another station with a stronger sig-
nal.
o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio sig- nals being received from several
directions can cause distortion or
fluttering. This can be caused by a
direct and reflected signal from the
same station, or by signals from two
stations with close frequencies. If
this occurs, select another station
until the condition has passed.
o Fading - As your car moves away
from the radio station, the signal will
weaken and sound will begin to
fade. When this occurs, we suggest
that you select another stronger sta-
tion.
o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or
large obstructions between the
transmitter and your radio can dis-
turb the signal causing static or flut-
tering noises to occur. Reducing the
treble level may lessen this effect
until the disturbance clears. B750B02Y-AAT
Using a cellular phone or a two-
way radio
When a cellular phone is used inside
the vehicle, noise may be produced
from the audio equipment. This does
not mean that something is wrong with
the audio equipment. In such a case,
use the cellular phone at a place as far
as possible from the audio equipment.
!
CAUTION:
When using a communication sys-
tem such a cellular phone or a radio
set inside the vehicle, a separate
external antenna must be fitted.
When a cellular phone or a radio set
is used with an internal antenna
alone, it may interfere with the
vehicle's electrical system and ad-
versely affect safe operation of the
vehicle.
WARNING:
Don't use a cellular phone when
you are driving, you must stop at a
safe place to use a cellular phone.

ANTENNA
Roof Antenna
Your car uses a roof antenna to re-
ceive both AM and FM broadcast sig-
nals.
This antenna is a removable type. To
remove the antenna, turn the antenna
counterclockwise. To install the an-
tenna, turn the antenna clockwise.
o The playback head, capstan and
pinch rollers will develop a coating
of tape residue that can result in
deterioration of sound quality, such
as a wavering sound. They should
be cleaned monthly using a com-
mercially available head cleaning
tape or special solution available
from audio specialty shops. Follow
the supplier's directions carefully and
never oil any part of the tape player
unit.
o Always be sure that the tape is tightly wound on its reel before in-
serting in the player. Rotate a pencil
in the drive sprockets to wind up any
slack. B860A03L
NOTE:
Look at a tape before you insert it.
If the tape is loose, tighten it by
turning one of the hubs with a pen-
cil or your finger.
If the label is peeling off, do not put
it in the drive mechanism.
Do not leave tapes sitting where
they are exposed to hot, warm, or
high humidity, such as on top of
the dashboard or in the player.
If a tape is exposed to extreme heat
or cold, let it reach a moderate tem-
perature before putting it in the
player.

SC140B1-E ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (Not all models) The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed to prevent wheel lock-upduring sudden braking or on hazard-ous road surfaces. The ABS controlmodule monitors the wheel speed and controls the pressure applied to each brake. Thus, in emergency situationsor on slick roads, ABS will increasevehicle control during braking. NOTE: During ABS operation, a slight pul- sation may be felt in the brake pedal when the brakes are applied. Also, a noise may be heard in the enginecompartment whilst braking. Theseconditions are normal and indicatethat the anti-lock brake system isfunctioning properly.
located in the instrument cluster will beilluminated. When the overdrive switchis turned "ON", the transaxle functionsas a fully automatic four speed unitwith the maximum fuel economy po- tential of the vehicle being realized. SC140A1-E EFFECTIVE BRAKING Braking system performance and fric- tion material life are greatly affected by the driving style adopted. The follow-ing suggestions are made to assist inachieving the best results from thebraking 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 retardingthe vehicle to minimize the possibil- ity of brake fade occurring.
o When trailer towing, ensure that the
trailer brakes function correctly and use engine braking to assist thevehicle braking system. o Use only genuine Hyundai replace-
ment brake pads and shoes to en-sure consistent friction characteris-tics and wear rates.
o After driving through deep water (e.g. fording), the brakes may be-come wet and performance reduced.Always check brake efficiency afteremerging from the water and dry thebrakes by lightly depressing thebrake pedal several times whilst driving slowly.
o Apply the parking brake only when the vehicle is at rest.
o Since the power assistance pro- vided by the brake servo is derived from the engine, coasting with the engine turned off or towing of the vehicle with the engine turned offwill result in greatly increased pedalpressures being required to stop thevehicle.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the up- grade with the accelerator pedal.This can cause the transmission tooverheat. Always use the brakepedal or parking brake.

!WARNING:
ABS will not prevent accidents due to improper or dangerous drivingmaneuvers. Even though vehicle control is improved during emer- gency braking, always maintain asafe distance between you and ob-jects ahead. Vehicle speeds shouldalways be reduced during extremeroad conditions. The braking distance for cars equipped with an anti-lock brakingsystem may be longer than for thosewithout it in the following road con-ditions.
o Driving on rough, gravel or snow- covered roads.
o Driving with tyre chains installed.
o Driving on roads where the road
surface is pitted or has differentsurface height. These roads should be driven at reduced speeds. The safety features of an ABS equipped vehicle shouldnot be tested by high speed drivingor cornering. This could endangerthe safety of yourself or others. SC150A1-F DRIVING FOR ECONOMY You can save fuel and get more miles from your car if you follow these sug-gestions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a
moderate rate. Don't make "jack- rabbit" starts or full-throttle shiftsand maintain a steady cruisingspeed. Don't race between stop-lights. Try to adjust your speed tothat of the other traffic so you don't have to change speeds unneces- sarily.Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos-sible. Al-ways maintain a safe dis-tance from other vehicles so youcan avoid unnecessary braking. This also reduces brake wear. o Drive at a moderate speed. The
faster you drive, the more fuel your car uses. Driving at a moderatespeed, especially on the highway, isone 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 thesecomponents. In addition, driving withyour foot resting on the brake pedal may cause the brakes to overheat, which reduces their effectivenessand may lead to more serious con-sequences.
o Take care of your tyres. Keep them inflated to the recommended pres- sure. Incorrect infla-tion, either too much or too little, results in unnec-essary tyre wear. Check the tyrepres-sures at least once a month.
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper alignment can result from hitting curbs or driving too fast over irregular surfaces. Pooralignment causes faster tyre wearand may also result in other prob-lems as well as greater fuel con-sumption.
