lights and all bulbs when key is in the "ON" position.
!WARNING: (DIESEL ENGINE)
To ensure that sufficient vacuum exists within the brake system dur-ing cold weather start-up condi- tions, it is necessary to run the engine at idle for several secondsafter starting the engine. C030A01A-GAT COMBINATION IGNITION SWITCHTo Start the Engine
o If your Hyundai is equipped with a
manual transaxle, place the shift lever in neutral and depress theclutch pedal fully.
o If your Hyundai has an automatic
transaxle, place the shift lever in "P"(park).
o To start the engine, insert the igni-
tion key and turn it to the "START"position. Release it as soon as the engine starts. Do not hold the key in the "START" position for more than15 seconds.
NOTE: For safety, the engine will not start if the shift lever is not in "P" or "N"Position (Automatic transaxle).
!WARNING:

C150A01A-AAT SMOOTH CORNERING Avoid braking or gear changing in cor- ners, especially when roads are wet. Ideally, corners should always be takenunder gentle acceleration. If you follow these suggestions, tire wear will be held to a minimum.
o Keep your car clean. For maximum
service, your Hyundai should be keptclean and free of corrosive materi-als. It is especially important that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed to accumulate on the underside of thecar. This extra weight can result in increased fuel consumption and also contribute to corrosion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unneces- sary weight in your car. Weight re-duces fuel economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than necessary. If you are waiting (and notin traffic), turn off your engine andrestart only when you're ready to go.
o Remember, your Hyundai does not
require extended warm-up. After theengine has started, allow the engine to run for 10 to 20 seconds prior to placing the vehicle in gear. In verycold weather, however, give your en- gine a slightly longer warm-up period.
o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine.
Lugging is driving too slowly in toohigh a gear resulting in the engine bucking. If this happens, shift to alower gear. Over-revving is racing the engine beyond its safe limit. This can be avoided by shifting at therecommended speeds. o Use your air conditioning sparingly.
The air conditioning system is oper-ated by engine power so your fueleconomy is reduced when you use it.
C160A01A-AAT WINTER DRIVING The more severe weather conditions of winter result in greater wear and other problems. To minimize the prob-lems of winter driving, you should fol- low these suggestions:
o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal.
This can increase fuel consumption and also increase wear on thesecomponents. In addition, driving with your foot resting on the brake pedal may cause the brakes to overheat,which reduces their effectiveness and may lead to more serious con- sequences.
o Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated to the recommended pres-sure. Incorrect inflation, either toomuch or too little, results in unnec- essary tire wear. Check the tire pres- sures at least once a month.
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper alignment canresult from hitting curbs or drivingtoo fast over irregular surfaces. Poor alignment causes faster tire wear and may also result in other prob-lems as well as greater fuel con- sumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For better fuel economy and reducedmaintenance costs, maintain your car in accordance with the mainte-nance schedule in Section 5. If you drive your car in severe conditions, more frequent maintenance is re-quired (see Section 5 for details).

CAUTION:
Personal injury and damage to the vehicle may occur if jump starting is not performed correctly. If anydoubt exists as to how this opera- tion should be performed, seek as- sistance from qualified personnel.
SD030A1-E JUMP STARTING
AD020D1-EIf Engine Stalls While Driving
1. Reduce your speed gradually, keep-
ing a straight line. Move cautiously off the road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your hazard lights.
3. Try starting the engine again. If your
vehicle will not start, see "IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START"!
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.
