ABS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)(If Installed)
When the key is turned to the "ON" position, the Anti-Lock Brake System will come on and then go off in a fewseconds. If the ABS SRI remains on, comes on while driving, or does not come on when the key is turned to the"ON" position, this indicates that there may be a problem with the ABS. If this occurs, have your vehiclechecked by your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. The normal braking system will still be operational, butwithout the assistance of the anti-lock brake system. B260C01A-AAT
O/D OFF Indicator (Automatic transaxleonly) (If Installed)
When the overdrive switch is turned on, the overdrive off indicator will go out. This amber indicator will be illumi- nated when the overdrive switch isturned off. B260D01A-AAT
Turn Signal Indicator Lights
The blinking green arrows on the in- strument panel show the direction indi- cated by the turn signals. If the arrow comes on but does not blink, blinksmore rapidly than normal, or does not illuminate at all, a malfunction in the turn signal system is indicated. Yourdealer should be consulted for repairs.
WARNING:
If both ABS SRI and Parking Brake/ Brake fluid level warning lights re- main "ON" or come on while driv-ing, there may be a problem with E.B.D (Electronic Brake Force Dis- tribution).If this occurs, avoid sudden stops and have your vehicle checked by your Hyundai dealer as soon aspossible.

C090A01A-GAT AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transaxle has four forward speeds andone reverse speed. It has a conven- tional shift pattern as shown in the illustration. At night, with the first posi-tion of the multi-function switch, the appropriate symbol on the shift pattern indicator will be illuminated accordingto the range selected. CAUTION:
Never shift into "R" or "P" positionwhile the vehicle is moving. NOTE:
Depress the brake pedal and push the button when shift- ing. Push the button when shift- ing. The selector lever can be shifted freely.
For optimum fuel economy, acceler-ate gradually. The transaxle will auto-matically shift to the second, third and overdrive gears. C090B01A-AAT The Function of Each Position Is As Follows: o P (Park): Use to hold the vehicle in place when parking or while starting the engine; shift the selector lever to the "P" (Park) position. Whenever parking the car,apply the parking brake and shift the selector lever to the "P" (Park) posi- tion.
CAUTION:
Never place the selector lever in the"P" (Park) position unless the ve-hicle is fully stopped. Failure to observe this caution will cause se- vere damage to the transaxle.

CAUTION:
o Shift into "R", "D" and "P" posi- tion only when the vehicle has completely stopped.
o Do not accelerate the engine in reverse or any of the forwardpositions with the brakes applied.
o Always apply the footbrake when shifting from "P" or "N", to "R",
"D", "2" or "L" position.
o Do not use the "P" (Park) posi- tion in place of the parking brake.Always set the parking brake, shift the transaxle into "P" (Park)position and turn off the ignition when you leave the vehicle, even momentarily. Never leave the ve-hicle unattended while the en- gine is running.
o When accelerating from a stop on a steep hill, the vehicle mayhave a tendency to roll back- wards. Shifting the shift lever into2nd gear will help prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards. C090N05A-AAT Good Driving Practices
o Never move the gear selector lever
from "P" or "N" to any other position with the accelerator pedal de- pressed.
o Never move the gear selector lever into "P" when the vehicle is in mo-tion.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped before you attempt to shift into "R"and "D".
o Never take the car out of gear and coast down a hill. This may be ex-tremely hazardous. Always leavethe car in gear when moving.
o Do not "ride" the brakes. This can
cause them to overheat and mal-function. Instead, when you are driv- ing down a long hill, slow down and shift to a lower gear. When you dothis, engine braking will help slow
! the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may not be engaged.
o Always use the parking brake. Do
not depend on placing the transaxlein "P" to keep the car from moving.
o Exercise extreme caution when driv-
ing on a slippery surface. Be espe-cially careful when braking, acceler- ating or shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an abrupt change in ve-hicle speed can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the ve- hicle to go out of control.
o Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothlydepressing and releasing the accel-erator pedal.
o Turn the overdrive switch on for good
fuel economy and smooth driving. Ifengine braking is needed in the "D" range or if repeated upshifting and downshifting between 3rd and 4thgear is needed when climbing a gentle slope, it is recommended that the overdrive switch be turned off. Turnthe overdrive switch back on imme- diately afterward.
o Check the automatic transaxle fluidlevel regularly, and add fluid as necessary.
o See the maintenance schedule for
the proper fluid recommendation.

WARNING:
Nothing should be carried on top of the shelf panel behind the rear seat. If there were an accident or a sud- den stop, such objects could moveforward and cause damage to the vehicle or injure the occupants.
o After being parked, check to be sure the parking brake is not engaged and that the parking brake indicatorlight is out before driving away.
o Driving through water may get the
brakes wet. They can also get wet
when the car is washed. Wet brakes can be dangerous! Your car will not
stop as quickly if the brakes are wet.Wet brakes may cause the car to pull to one side. To dry the brakes, apply the brakes lightly until the brak-

C090P01A-GAT Overdrive Switch
When the overdrive switch is turned on, the transaxle will automatically upshift to the second, third and overdrive gears. When the overdrive switch is turned off,the transaxle will not upshift to the over- drive gear. For normal driving, the selec- tor lever should be left in the "D" positionand the overdrive switch turned on.
!
WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lane changes or fast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts.
In a collision crash, an unbeltedperson is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seatbelt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly in- creased if you lose control ofyour vehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off theroadway and the driver oversteersto reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer sharply.Instead, slow down before pulling back into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed limits.
o If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow, mud, sand, etc., then youmay attempt to rock the vehiclefree by moving it forward and back- ward. Do not attempt this proce- dure if people or objects are any- where near the vehicle. During the rocking operation the vehicle may suddenly move for-ward of backward as it becomes unstuck, causing injury or dam- age to nearby people or objects.
If you need to accelerate rapidly, press the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor. The transaxle will automaticallyshift to a lower gear, depending on the vehicle speed and load.

YC090A1-E SELECTOR POSITIONS o P (Park): With the selector in this position, no drive is transmitted from the engine and the transaxle output and thereforethe front wheels locked. The engine may be started with the selector in this position.
!
CAUTION:
The selector must NEVER be shifted to the "P" position whilst the ve-hicle is in motion, otherwise seri- ous transaxle damage will result. DC110C1-E o R (Reverse): With the selector in this position, re- verse gear will be engaged. The en-gine may not be started with the selec- tor in this position.
CAUTION:
The selector must NEVER be shifted to the "R" position whilst the ve- hicle is in motion.
! DC110D1-E o N (Neutral): With the selector in this position, no gear is selected and no drive is trans-mitted from the engine. The engine may be started with the selector in this position.
!
CAUTION:
Do not coast with the selector at the "N" position. DC110E2-E o D (Drive): Bring the car to a complete stop before shifting the selector lever to "D" posi-tion. With the selector in this position, first gear will be engaged from rest and thetransmission will automatically upshift to second, third and fourth depending upon the vehicle speed, throttle posi-tion and the position of the overdrive switch. The engine may not be started with the selector in this position. DC110F1-E o 2 (Second Gear): With the selector in this position, first gear will be engaged from rest. Thetransmission will upshift to second gear depending upon the vehicle speed and throttle position. No upshift to third orfourth will occur. The engine may not be started with the selector in this position. DC110G2-E o L (Low Gear): With the selector in this position, first gear will be engaged from rest. No upshift will occur regardless of vehiclespeed and throttle opening. The en- gine may not be started with the selec- tor in this position.
!
CAUTION:
Do not move the selector to the "L" position when the vehicle speed is in excess of 50 m.p.h.

2- 12 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
o When climbing steep gradients us-
ing large throttle openings, the transaxle may re-peatedly changebetween two adjacent ratios. This is a normal characteristic and may be prevented by cancelling the over-drive facility if the shifting occurs between third and fourth ratios, se- lecting position "2" if the shiftingoccurs between third and second ratios or selecting position "1" if the shifting occurs between first andsecond 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 vehicle becomesstuck in snow or mud by allowing thevehicle to be rocked to and fro. The engine speed should be held at ap- proximately 1,000rpm by means ofthe accelerator pedal and the selec- tor lever moved between the "D" and "R" positions to induce a rockingmotion.
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 between the 3rd and 4th gear is needed when climbing a gentle slope, it is recom-mended that the overdrive switch be turned off. Turn the overdrive switch back on immediately after-ward.
!WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lane changes or fast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts. In a collision crash, an unbeltedperson is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing aseatbelt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly in-
creased if you lose control of yourvehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two
or more wheels drop off the road-way and the driver oversteers to reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the roadway, do not steer sharply.Instead, slow down before pulling back into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed limits.
o Excessive depressing of the
accelerater pedal under the tire slip condition such as moving out of the mud or fresh snow etc, may cause severe damage to thetransaxle. At this time, take other way such as towing.

SC130A1-E OVERDRIVE SWITCH
The overdrive switch prevents the transaxle upshifting higher than third gear when the switch is turned "OFF".The transaxle will start from rest in first gear and upshift to second and third gear depending upon the roadspeedand throttle opening but will not upshift to fourth gear. When the overdrive switch is turned "ON", the transaxlewill start from rest in first gear and will upshift, depending upon roadspeed and throttle opening to second, thirdand fourth gear. Therefore, when the overdrive switch is turned "OFF", the transaxle performs as a three speedunit and the overdrive warning light located in the instrument cluster will be illuminated. When the overdrive switch is turned "ON", the transaxle functionsas a fully automatic four speed unit with 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 the braking 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 anduse engine braking to assist the vehicle 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 after emerging from the water and dry thebrakes by lightly depressing the brake 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 thevehicle with the engine turned off will result in greatly increased pedal pressures being required to stop thevehicle.
o Do not hold the vehicle on an incline
with the accelerator pedal. This cancause the transmission to overheat. Always use the brake pedal or park- ing brake.
