SC130A1-E OVERDRIVE SWITCH
The overdrive switch prevents the transaxle upshifting higher than thirdgear when the switch is turned "OFF".The transaxle will start from rest in firstgear and upshift to second and thirdgear depending upon the roadspeed and throttle opening but will not upshift to fourth gear. When the overdriveswitch is turned "ON", the transaxlewill start from rest in first gear and willupshift, depending upon roadspeedand throttle opening to second, third and fourth gear. Therefore, when the overdrive switch is turned "OFF", thetransaxle performs as a three speedunit and the overdrive warning light
o When ascending steep gradients
using large throttle openings, thetransaxle may re-peatedly changebetween two adjacent ratios. This isa normal characteristic and may be prevented by cancelling the over- drive facility if the shifting occursbetween third and fourth ratios, se-lecting position "2" if the shiftingoccurs between third and secondratios or selecting position "1" if the shifting occurs between first and second ratios.
o Never move the selector to or from
the "P" or "N" position with the ac-celerator depressed.
o Ensure that the overdrive switch is at the "ON" position for maximumeconomy.
o If rapid acceleration is required, fully
depress the accelerator pedal. Inthis condition, the kickdown mecha-nism will be operated and the transaxle will automatically down- shift according to the vehicle speed. o The automatic transaxle may be
used to great effect if the vehiclebecomes stuck in snow or mud byallowing the vehicle to be rocked toand fro. The engine speed should be held at approximately 1,000rpm by means of the accelerator pedaland the selector lever moved be-tween the "D" and "R" positions toinduce a rocking motion.
o Do not depress the accelerator pedal with the brakes applied and the se-lector at the "R", "D", "2" or "L"position.
o Turn the overdrive switch on for good fuel economy and smooth driv-ing. But if engine braking is needed in the "D" range or if repeated up- shifting and downshifting betweenthe 3rd and 4th gear is needed whenclimbing a gentle slope, it is recom-mended that the overdrive switchbe turned off. Turn the overdrive switch back on immediately after- ward.

!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. Always 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 tyrepressures 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.

3- 2 WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
HTB165
SD020B1-E IF THE ENGINE CANNOT BE CRANKED
1. If the vehicle is fitted with manual
transaxle, ensure that the clutch pedal is depressed whilst cranking the engine. If the vehicle is fitted with automatic transaxle, ensurethat the transaxle selector is at the "P" or"N" position.
2. Check the battery terminals and
connections to ensure that theseare clean and also tight.
3. If the ignition warning lights dim
when the engine is cranked and thebattery terminals have been checked, a discharged battery isindicated. SD020C1-F If Engine Turns Over Normally but Does Not Start
SD020A1-E IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START Seek assistance from the nearest Hyundai authorised repairer with re- gard to the method of ignition and fuelsystem diagnosis.

HTB221
CAUTION:
If the engine refuses to start, no attempt should be made to push or tow start the vehicle. Vehicles withautomatic transaxle or fuel injec- tion will not be able to be started in this manner since no drive is trans-mitted through the automatic transaxle whilst the engine is not running, and in the case of fuelinjected derivatives, the fuel pump will not operate under tow start conditions. In addition, if the ve-hicle is equipped with an exhaust catalyst, damage to the catalyst may result if the vehicle is tow started. 4. Do not attempt to push or tow start
the vehicle, refer to "Jump Starting"for information regarding enginestarting when the battery is dis- charged.
1. Check fuel Level
2. Check all connectors at ignition coil and spark plugs. Replace any that may be discon- nected or loose.
3. Check fuel line in the engine com- partment.
4. If engine still refuses to start, call a
Hyundai authorised repairer or seek other qualified assistance.

WARNING:
Motor vehicle batteries contain sulphuric acid and emit hydrogen gas. Protective clothing should be worn and care exercised to preventthe acid from coming into contact with skin or clothing and the ve- hicle. Naked lights should not bepermitted in the vicinity of the bat- tery. Care should be exercised to prevent sparks occurring duringconnection. If acid accidentally comes into contact with skin or eyes, the affected area should im-mediately be flushed with copious amounts of water and medical as- sistance sought. 1. Ensure that the booster battery is
12 volt type. If the booster battery isinstalled in another vehicle, ensurethat the two vehicles are not touch- ing.
2. Turn off all unnecessary electrical equipment in both vehicles.
3. Ensure that the engine of the ve-
hicle providing the jump start is run- ning prior to connection of the jump cables.
4. Connect the red jump cable to the positive (+) terminal of the boosterbattery and the other end to the positive (+) terminal of the dis-charged battery.
5. Attach the black jump cable to the
negative (-) terminal of the boosterbattery, and the other end to a ground point within the engine compart- ment of the vehicle with the flatbattery. Do not connect to the nega- tive battery terminal of the flat bat- tery since sparks may be generatedwith the subsequent risk of explo- sion.
6. Raise the booster vehicle engine speed to 2,000 r.p.m. and start theengine of the vehicle with the flat battery.
