WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. The engine cool- ant is under pressure and coulderupt and cause severe burns. Wait until the engine is cool before re- moving the radiator cap. The needle on the engine coolant tem- perature gauge should stay in the nor-mal range. If it moves across the dial to "H" (Hot), pull over and stop as soon as possible and turn off the engine.

C160K01A-AAT Carry Emergency Equipment Depending on the severity of the weather where you drive your car, you should carry appropriate emergencyequipment. Some of the items you may want to carry include tire chains, tow straps or chains, flashlight, emer-gency flares, sand, a shovel, jumper cables, a window scraper, gloves, ground cloth, coveralls, a blanket, etc.
C160H01A-AAT Use Approved Anti-Freeze in
Window Washer System To keep the water in the window washer system from freezing, add an approved anti-freeze solution in accordance withinstructions on the container. Window washer anti-freeze is available from Hyundai dealers and most auto partsoutlets. Do not use engine coolant or other types of anti-freeze as these may damage the finish. C160I01A-AAT Don't Let Your Parking Brake Freeze Under some conditions your parking brake can freeze in the engaged posi- tion. This is most likely to happenwhen there is an accumulation of snow or ice around or near the rear brakes or if the brakes are wet. If there is a riskthe parking brake may freeze, apply it only temporarily while you put the gear selector lever in "P" (automatic) or infirst or reverse gear (manual transaxle) and block the rear wheels so the car cannot roll. Then release the parkingbrake. C160J01A-AAT Don't Let Ice and Snow Accumu- late Underneath Under some conditions, snow and ice can build up under the fenders and interfere with the steering. When driv-ing in severe winter conditions where this may happen, you should periodi- cally check underneath the car to besure the movement of the front wheels and the steering components is not obstructed.
C170A01A-AAT HIGHER SPEED MOTORING Pre-Trip Inspections 1. Tires: Adjust the tire inflation pressures to specification. Low tire inflation pres- sures will result in overheating andpossible failure of the tires. Avoid using worn or damaged tires which may result in reduced traction ortire failure. NOTE: Never exceed the maximum tire in- flation pressure shown on the tires. 2. Fuel, engine coolant and en- gine oil: High speed travel consumes 1.5 times more fuel than urban motoring. Do not forget to check both engine coolantand engine oil. 3. Drive belt: A loose or damaged drive belt may result in overheating of the engine.

C190C03S-GAT Trailer Brakes If your trailer is equipped with a braking system, make sure it conforms to fed-eral and/or local regulations and that it is properly installed and operating cor- rectly. NOTE: If you tow a trailer or vehicle, your car will require more frequent main- tenance due to the additional load.See "Maintenance Under Severe Usage Conditions" on page 5-5.
CAUTION:
o Never connect a trailer brake sys- tem directly to the vehicle brake system.
o When towing a trailer on steep
grades (in excess of 12%) payclose attention to the engine cool- ant temperature gauge to ensure the engine does not overheat. Ifthe needle of the coolant tem- perature gauge moves across the dial towards "H" (HOT), pull overand stop as soon as it is safe to do so, and allow the engine to

C180A01A-AAT USE OF LIGHTS Check your lights regularly for correct operation and always keep them clean.When driving during the day in condi- tions of poor visibility, it is helpful to drive with headlights on low beam.This enables you to be seen as well as to see. C190A02A-GAT TRAILER OR VEHICLE TOWING If you are considering towing with your car, you should first check with your Province Department of Motor Vehicles to determine their legal requirements.Since laws vary from province to prov- ince, the requirements for towing trail- ers, cars, other types of vehicles, orapparatus may differ. Ask your Hyundai dealer for further details before towing. C190B01S-AAT Trailer Hitches Select the proper hitch and ball combi- nation, making sure that it's location iscompatible with that of the trailer or vehicle being towed. Use a quality non-equalizing hitch whichdistributes the tongue load uniformly throughout the chassis. The hitch should be bolted securely to the car and installed by a qualified technician. DO NOT USE A HITCHDESIGNED FOR TEMPORARY IN- STALLATION AND NEVER USE ONE THAT ATTACHES ONLY TO THEBUMPER.
!
CAUTION
Do not do any towing with your car during its first 2,000 km (1,200 miles) in order to allow the engine to prop- erly break in. Failure to heed thiscaution may result in serious en- gine or transaxle damage.

G040B03FC-GAT CHANGING THE OIL AND FILTER
(Diesel Engine: Left hand drivetype (E.C only)) The engine oil and filter should be changed at those intervals specified in the maintenance schedule in Section 5. If the car is being driven in severeconditions, more frequent oil and filter changes are required. The procedure for changing the oil and filter is as follows: 1. Park the car on level ground and set
the parking brake. Start the engine and let it warm up until the needle onthe coolant temperature gauge moves above the lowest mark. Turn the engine off and place the gearselector lever in "P" (automatic) or reverse gear (manual transaxle).
2. Open the hood and remove the en- gine oil filler cap.
3. Slide underneath the car and loosen
the oil pan drain plug by turning it counterclockwise oil pan with a wrench of the proper size. Be sure that a drain pan is in position tocatch the oil as it drains out, then remove the drain plug.
7. Refill the crankcase with the recom-
mended engine oil. Refer to the specification in chapter 9 for engineoil capacity.
8. Start the engine and check to be
sure no oil is leaking from the drainplug or oil filter.
9. Shut off the engine and recheck the
oil level.
NOTE: Always dispose of used engine oil in an environmentally acceptablemanner. It is suggested that it be placed in a sealed container and taken to a service station for recla-mation. Do not pour the oil on the ground or put it into the household trash.
WARNING:
Used motor oil may cause irritationor cancer of the skin if left in con-tact with the skin for prolonged periods of time. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warmwater as soon as possible after han- dling used oil.

G050A01A-AAT CHECKING AND CHANGING THE ENGINE COOLANT
G050B01A-AAT Recommended Engine Coolant
Use a high quality ethylene-glycol cool- ant in a 50/50 mix with water. The engine coolant should be compatiblewith aluminum engine parts. Additional corrosion inhibitors or additives should not be used. The cooling system mustbe maintained with the correct con- centration and type of engine coolant to prevent freezing and corrosion.Never allow the concentration of anti- freeze to exceed the 60% level or go below the 35% level, or damage to thecooling system may result. For proper concentration when adding or replac- ing the engine coolant, refer to thefollowing table.
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the engine coolant is underpressure and may erupt through the opening if the cap is removed. You could be seriously burned ifyou do not observe this precau- tion. Do not remove the radiator cap until the radiator is cool to thetouch.

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.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Motor vehicle batteries contain
sulphuric acid which is corrosive
and poisonous. Hydrogen gas is
emitted from the battery which is
explosive when combined with oxy-
gen. The following precautions must
be strictly observed to avoid per-
sonal injury or damage to the ve-
hicle.

ELECTRIC COOLING FANS
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by en-
gine coolant temperature and may
sometimes operate even when the
engine is not running. Use extreme
caution when working near the
blades of the cooling fan so that you
are not injured by a rotating fan
blade. As the engine coolant tem-
perature decreases, the fan will auto-
matically shut off. This is a normal
condition.
The engine cooling fan should operate
before the temperature gauge reaches
the upper portion of the scale and the
condenser fan should operate when-
ever the air conditioning is in use.
