WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY 3- 9
D060G02Y-AAT 6. Changing Wheels Loosen the wheel nuts and remove them with your fingers. Slide the wheel off the studs and lay it flat so it cannotroll away. To put the wheel on the hub, pick up the spare tire, line up the holesWARNING:
Do not get under the car when it issupported by the jack! This is very dangerous as the vehicle could falland cause serious injury or death. No one should stay in the car while the jack is being used.

HTB228 WARNING:
Wheel and wheel covers may have sharp edges. Handle them carefully to avoid possible severe injury.Before putting the wheel into place, be sure that there is nothing on the hub or wheel (such as mud, tar,gravel, etc.) that interferes with the wheel from fitting solidly against the hub. If there is, remove it. Ifthere is not good contact on the mounting surface between the wheel and hub, the wheel nuts couldloosen and cause the loss of a wheel. Loss of a wheel may result in loss of control of the vehicle. Thismay cause serious injury or death.

4- 6 CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE
E040E01A-AAT Cleaning the Windows You may use any household window cleaner on the windows. However,when cleaning the inside of the rear window be careful not to damage the rear window defroster wiring. E050A01A-AAT Any Questions? If you have any questions about the care of your car, consult your Hyundaidealer.
E040D01A-AAT Cleaning the Seat Belts To clean the seat belts, use a cloth or sponge with mild soap or detergent and warm water. Do not use strongdetergents, dye, bleach or abrasive materials on the seat belts as this may weaken the fabric.While cleaning the belts, inspect them for excessive wear, cuts, fraying or other signs of damage and replacethem if necessary.
E040C01A-AAT Cleaning the Carpets Use a foam-type carpet cleaner. Clean- ers of this type are available in aerosolcans in liquid form or powder. Read the instructions and follow them exactly. Using a vacuum cleaner with the ap-propriate attachment, remove as much dirt from the carpets as possible. Apply the foam following the manufacturer'sdirections, then rub in overlapping circles. Do not add water. These clean- ers work best when the carpet is keptas dry as possible.
will keep your leather lustrous, beauti- ful and ensure you have many years of wear.Take a piece of cheese cloth and using any mild soap and lukewarm water, work up a good lather. Thoroughlywash the leather. Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth and dry with soft cloth. Do this as often as the leatherbecomes soiled. During tanning operations, sufficient oils are incorporated through process- ing that none need be applied during the life of the leather. Oil applied to thefinished surface will in no way help the leather and may do more harm than good. Varnishes and furniture polishesshould never be used under any con- ditions.

With the engine run- ning, have your helper press down on the brake pedal several times and thenhold it down with a force of about 490 N (50 Kg, 110 lbs). The brake pedal clearance is the distance from the topsurface of the brake pedal to the as- phalt sheeting under the floor mat. If the brake pedal clearance is notwithin the limits specified in the illustra- tion, have it inspected by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted or repaired if nec-essary.G170A01A-GAT CHECKING BRAKE PEDAL FREE-PLAY

G200A01A-AAT CHECKING AND REPLACING FUSESReplacing a Fusible Link
G200A01L
A fusible link will melt if the electrical circuits from the battery are ever over-loaded, thus preventing damage to the entire wiring harness. (This could be caused by a short in the system draw-ing too much current.) If this ever happens, have a Hyundai dealer de- termine the cause, repair the systemand replace the fusible link. The fusible links are located in a fuse box for easy inspection. CAUTION:
When replacing a fusible link, neveruse anything but a new fusible link with the same or lower amperage rating. Never use a piece of wire ora higher-rated fusible link. This could result in serious damage and create a fire hazard.
!
G200B02A-AAT Replacing Accessory Fuse The fuse box for the lights and other electrical accessories will be found low on the dashboard on the driver's side.Inside the box you will find a list show- ing the circuits protected by each fuse. If any of your car's lights or otherelectrical accessories stop working, a blown fuse could be the reason. If the fuse has burned out, you will see thatthe metal strip inside the fuse has burned through. If you suspect a blown fuse, follow this procedure: HTB180

sory you can temporarily get along without (the radio or cigarette light- er, for example). Always rememberto replace the borrowed fuse. CAUTION:
A burned-out fuse indicates thatthere is a problem in the electricalcircuit. If you replace a fuse and it blows as soon as the accessory is turned on, the problem is seriousand should be referred to a Hyun- dai dealer for diagnosis and repair. Never replace a fuse with anythingexcept a fuse with the same or a lower amperage rating. A higher capacity fuse could cause damageand create a fire hazard. NOTE: See page 6-36 for the fuse panel descriptions.

4. Replace the blown fuse by pressing a new fuse of the same rating into place. The fuse should be a snug fit. If it is not, have the fuse clip repairedor replaced by a Hyundai dealer. If you do not have a spare fuse, you may be able to borrow a fuse of thesame or lower rating from an acces-
1. Turn off the ignition and all other
switches.
2. Open the fuse box and examine each fuse. Remove each fuse by pulling it toward you (a small "fuse puller" tool is contained in the fusebox to simplify this operation).

G210A01A-AAT CHECKING THE BATTERY
WARNING:
Batteries can be dangerous! When working with batteries, carefully ob-serve the following precautions to avoid serious injuries. HTB165
The fluid in the battery contains a strongsolution of sulfuric acid, which is poi- sonous and highly corrosive. Be carefulnot to spill it on yourself or the car. If you do spill battery fluid on yourself, imme- diately do the following:
!
o If battery fluid is on your skin, flush the affected areas with water for at least 15 minutes and then seekmedical assistance.
o If battery fluid is in your eyes, rinse
out your eyes with water and getmedical assistance as soon as pos- sible. While you are being driven to get medical assistance, continue torinse your eyes by using a sponge or soft cloth saturated with water.
o If you swallow battery fluid, drink a large quantity of water or milk fol-lowed by milk of magnesia, eat a raw egg or drink vegetable oil. Getmedical assistance as soon as pos- sible.
While batteries are being charged (ei-ther by a battery charger or by the vehicle's alternator), they produce ex-plosive gases. Always observe these warnings to prevent injuries from oc- curring:
o Charge batteries only in a well ven- tilated area.
o Do not permit flames, sparks or smoking in the area.
o Keep children away from the area.
!
G210B01Y-GAT Checking the Battery Keep the battery clean. Any evidence of corrosion around the battery posts orterminals should be removed using a solution of household baking soda and warm water. After the battery terminalsare dry, cover them with a light coating of grease.
WARNING:
Always read the following instructions carefully whenhandling a battery. Keep lighted cigarettes and all other flames or sparksaway from the battery. Hydrogen, which is a highly combustible gas, is alwayspresent in battery cells and may explode if ignited.

G240A01A-AAT POWER STEERING HOSES It is suggested that you check the power steering hose connections forfluid leakage at regular intervals. The power steering hoses should be re- placed if there is severe surface crack-ing, scuffing or worn spots. Deteriora- tion of the hose could cause prema- ture failure.
G300A02TB-GAT REMOVAL OF WATER FROM THE FUEL FILTER(DIESEL ENGINE) If the fuel filter warning light illuminates during driving, it indicates that water has accumulated in the fuel filter. NOTE: It is recommended that water accu- mulated in the fuel filter should be removed by an authorized Hyundai dealer. WARNING:
Be sure to carefully wipe away anywater drained out in this manner,because the fuel mixed in the water might be ignited and result in a fire.
