ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERA-
TURE GAUGE
The engine coolant temperature gauge
indicates the engine coolant tempera-
ture and will, under normal circum-
stances, give an indication in the "Nor-
mal" or centre portion of the scale.
Should the indication move into the
upper or "Hot" portion of the scale,
engine overheating is indicated. Under
these circumstances, the vehicle should
be brought to rest as soon as is safe to
do so and the engine turned off. Once
the engine has cooled somewhat, the
coolant level and the condition of the
generator/water pump drive belt should
be checked. If the cause of the over- SB215C1-E
SPEEDOMETER

heating cannot be readily established,
the assistance of a Hyundai dealer
should be sought.
HTB004A
The speedometer indicates the vehicle
speed in both miles and kilometres per
hour.
WARNING:
The engine cooling system is pres-
surized and removal of the radiator
cap when the engine is hot may
cause hot water and steam to be
ejected from the radiator resulting in
burns and scalding. The radiator cap
must only be removed when the en-
gine has cooled. Do not add cold
water to a hot engine to avoid the
possibility of engine damage. The
use of plain water in the cooling
system is not recommended since
the aluminium components of the
cooling system require the use of a
corrosion inhibitor found in the rec-
ommended Ethylene Glycol type anti
freeze solutions.

haust gases on page 2-2.
HTB068 WARNING:
Fuel vapours are dangerous. Before
refuelling, turn off the engine and
never allow sparks, lit cigarettes or
open flames near the filler area. When
releasing the filler cap, a small
amount of residual pressure may
generate a slight hissing sound which
is not indicative of an abnormality. In
the event of the fuel filler cap requir-
ing replacement, only a Genuine
Hyundai replacement part should be
used to prevent fuel leakage. o The tail gate can be locked or un-
locked with a key.
o The tail gate is opened by pulling the

The pollen filter is located in front of the
evaporator unit behind the glove box.
It operates to decrease the amount of
pollutants entering the car.
To replace the pollen filter, refer to the
page 6-20.

Operation Tips
o If the interior of the car is hot when
you first get in, open the windows for
a few minutes to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air condi-
tioning system, keep all windows
closed to keep hot air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy
traffic, shift to a lower gear. This
increases engine speed, which in
turn increases the speed of the air
conditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air condi- tioning off to avoid the possibility of
the engine over-heating.
o During winter months or in periods when the air conditioning is not used
regularly, run the air conditioning
once every month for a few min-
utes. This will help circulate the
lubricants and keep your system in
peak operating condition. Inside of

o Replace the filter every 12,000 miles (20,000 km) or once a year. If
the car is being driven in severe
conditions such as dusty, rough
roads, more frequent pollen filter
inspections and changes are re-
quired.
o When the air flow rate is suddenly decreased, it must be checked at
an authorized dealer.

Ionosphere
FM reception
B750A01L Obstructed area
Iron bridges
FM broadcasts are transmitted at high
frequency and do not bend to follow
the earth's surface. Because of this,
FM broadcasts generally begin to fade
at short distances from the station.
Also, FM signals are easily affected by
buildings, mountains, or other obstruc-
tions. These can result in certain lis-
tening conditions which might lead you
to believe a problem exists with your
radio. The following conditions are
normal and do not indicate radio trouble:
AM broadcasts can be received at
greater distances than FM broadcasts.
This is because AM radio waves are
transmitted at low frequency. These
long, low frequency radio waves can
follow the curvature of the earth rather
than travelling straight out into the
atmosphere. In addition, they curve
around obstructions so that they can
provide better signal coverage.
B750A02A-AAT
STEREO SOUND SYSTEM
How Car Audio Works
AM and FM radio signals are broad-
cast from transmitter towers located
around your city. They are intercepted
by the radio antenna on your car. This
signal is then received by the radio and
sent to your car speakers.
When a strong radio signal has reached
your vehicle, the precise engineering
of your audio system ensures high
quality reproduction. However, in some
cases the signal coming to your ve-
hicle is not strong and clear. This can
be due to factors such as the distance
from the radio station, closeness of
other strong radio stations or the pres- ence of buildings, bridges or other
large obstructions in the area.

SC020A1-E
WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust gases are potentially lethal. If at any time engine exhaust gas is detected within the passenger compartment, move the vehicle to an open area and open all windows. o Never inhale exhaust gas. Exhaust gases contain Carbon Monoxide which is colourless and odourless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous and can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation. o Exhaust System Maintenance. Ensure that the exhaust system is maintained in good condition and is free from excessive corrosion and damage which may result in leakage. If the vehicle is driven over an object which strikes the exhaust system,ensure that the exhaust system is inspected at the first available opportunity to ensure that no leakage exists. o Confined Areas. Do not run the engine in confined spaces, allowing the engine to idle in a garage, even when the doors are open is dangerous practice. Only start the engine immediately prior to moving the vehicle out of the garage. o Prolonged Idling. If it is necessary to allow the vehicle to idle for prolonged periods, ensure that the heating system air intake control is set to the "Fresh" position, the blower is set to high speed operation and that the vehicle is standing in an open area. o Load Carrying. If it is necessary to carry long objects which do not permit the boot lid to be fully closed, the side windows must remain closed and the heating air intake control set to the "Fresh" position with the blower running at the highest speed setting. To ensure correct operation of the heater system, the air intake grilles at the base of the windscreen must not be obstructed by snow leaves etc..
