SRS (Airbag) Service Re
minder Indicator (SRI)
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) comes on and flashes for about 6 seconds after the ignition key isturned to the "ON" position or after the engine is started, after which it will go out. This light also comes on when the SRS is not working properly. If the SRI doesnot flash, or continuously remains on after flashing for about 6 seconds when you turned the ignition key to the "ON"position or started the engine, or if it comes on while driving, have the SRS inspected by an authorisedHyundai Dealer. B260C01A-AAT
O/D OFF Indicator (Automatic transaxle
only) (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 is turned 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, blinks more rapidly than normal, or does notilluminate at all, a malfunction in the turn signal system is indicated. Your dealer should be consulted for repairs.B260P02Y-GAT 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.
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 byyour Hyundai dealer as soon as possible.
B260F01A-AAT High Beam Indicator Light
The high beam indicator light comes on whenever the headlights are switched to the high beam or flash position.

1- 38 FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
The brake warning light indicates that the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder is low and hydraulic brake fluidconforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 speci- fications should be added. After add- ing fluid, if no other trouble is found, thecar should be carefully driven to a Hyundai dealer for inspection. If fur- ther trouble is experienced, the vehicleshould not be driven at all but taken to a dealer by a professional towing ser- vice or some other safe method. YourHyundai is equipped with dual-diago- nal braking systems. This means you still have braking on two wheels even ifone of the dual systems should fail. With only one of the dual systems working, more than normal pedal traveland greater pedal pressure are re- quired to stop the car. Also, the car will not stop in as short a distance with onlya portion of the brake system working. If the brakes fail while you are driving, shift to a lower gear for additionalengine braking and stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so.

WARNING:
The tail gate should always be kept completely closed while the vehicleis in motion. If it is left open or ajar, poisonous exhaust gases may en- ter the car resulting in serious ill-ness or death to the occupants. See additional warnings concerning ex- haust gases on page 2-2. o The tail gate can be locked or un-
locked with a key.
o The tail gate is opened by pulling the outside handle up, raising the tailgate manually.
o To close, lower the tail gate, then press down on it until it is closed. Tobe sure the tail gate is fully closed,always try to pull it up again without using the outside handle.
- When refuelling always shut the
engine off. Sparks produced by electrical components related tothe engine can ignite fuel vapours causing a fire. Always insure that the engine is OFF before andduring refuelling. Once refuel- ling is complete, check to make sure the fuel filler cap and doorare securely closed, before start- ing the engine.
- Do not light any fire around a petrol station. DO NOT usematches or a lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or leave a lit ciga- rette in your vehicle while at a petrol station especially duringrefuelling. Automotive fuel is highly flammable and can, when ignited, result in explosion byflames.
- If a fire breaks out during refuel-
ling, leave the vicinity of thevehicle, and immediately con- tact the manager of the petrol station or contact the police andlocal fire department. Follow any safety instructions they pro- vide.

C020A03S-DAT BEFORE STARTING THE EN- GINE Before you start the engine, you should always:
1. Look around the vehicle to be sure
there are no flat tyres, puddles of oil or water or other indications of pos- sible trouble.
2. After entering the car, check to be sure the parking brake is engaged.
3. Check that all windows, and lights are clean.
4. Check that the interior and exterior
mirrors are clean and in position.
5. Check your seat, seatback and headrest to be sure they are in theirproper positions.
6. Lock all the doors.
7. Fasten your seat belt and be sure
that all other occupants have fas- tened theirs.
8. Turn off all lights and accessories
that are not needed.
9. When you turn the ignition switch to "ON' check that all appropriatewarning lights are operating andthat you have sufficient fuel.
10.Check the operation of warning lights
and all bulbs when key is in the "ON"position. WARNING:
Always wear appropriate shoes whenoperating your vehicle. Unsuitable shoes (high heels, ski boots, etc.) may interfere with yourability to use the brake and accelera- tor pedal, and the clutch (if installed). 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:
When you intend to park or stop the vehicle with the engine on, be care- ful not to depress the accelerator pedal for a long period of time. It mayoverheat the engine or exhaust sys- tem and cause fire.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 11
!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 move forward and cause damage to the vehicle or injure the occupants.
o After being parked, check to be sure the hand brake is not engaged and that the hand brake indicator light is out before driving away.
o Driving through water may get the brakes wet. They can also get wetwhen the car is washed. Wet brakes can be dangerous! Your car will notstop 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 braking action returns to normal, taking care to keep the car undercontrol at all times. If the braking action does not return to normal, stop as soon as it is safe to do soand call your Hyundai dealer for assistance.
C130A01A-DAT GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES
HTB217-D
ZC130A1-DOverdrive Switch
When the overdrive switch is turned on, the transaxle will automatically upshift to the second, third and over-drive gears. When the overdrive switch is turned off, the transaxle will not upshift to the overdrive gear. For nor-mal driving, the selector lever should be left in the "D" position and the overdrive switch turned on.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. o Don't coast down hills with the car
out of gear. This is extremely haz- ardous. Keep the car in gear at alltimes, use the brakes to slow down, then shift to a lower gear so that engine braking will help you main-tain a safe speed.
o Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Rest-
ing your foot on the brake pedalwhile driving can be dangerous be- cause it can result in the brakes overheating and losing their effec-tiveness. It also increases the wear of the brake components.
o If a tyre goes flat while you are driving, apply the brakes gently andkeep the car pointed straight ahead while you slow down. When you aremoving slowly enough for it to be safe to do so, pull off the road and stop in a safe place.
o If your car is equipped with an auto- matic transaxle, don't let your carcreep forward. To avoid creepingforward, keep your foot on the brake pedal when the car is stopped.

2- 14 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
C140A01A-DAT DRIVING FOR ECONOMY You can save fuel and get more kilo- meters from your car if you followthese suggestions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a
moderate rate. Don't make "kanga- roo" starts or full-throttle shifts. Maintain a steady cruising speed.Don't race between stoplights. Try to adjust your speed to that of the other traffic so you don't have tochange speeds unnecessarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible. Always maintain a safe distancefrom other vehicles so you can avoid unnecessary braking. This also reduces brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel yourcar uses. Driving at a moderatespeed, especially on the highway, is one of the most effective ways to reduce fuel consumption.
o Don't "ride" the brake. This can in- crease fuel consumption and alsoincrease wear on this components. o In addition, driving with your foot
resting on the brake pedal may causethe brakes to overheat, which re-duces their effectiveness and may
lead to more serious consequences.
o Take care of your tyres. Keep them inflated to the recommended pres-sure. Incorrect inflation, either too much or too little, results in unnec-essary tyre wear. Check the tyre pressures at least once a month.
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper alignment canresult from hitting curbs or driving too fast over irregular surfaces Pooralignment causes faster tyre 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 youdrive your car in severe conditions, more frequent maintenance is re- quired (see Section 5 for details).
C310D01JM-AAT Indicators and Warning The indicators should illuminate when the ignition key is turned to ON orSTART but should go out after three seconds. If the indicators do not illuminate, or theESP or ESP-OFF indicator does not go out after 3 seconds, have the vehicle checked by an authorized dealer. Should there be any unusual conditions in the device while driving, ESP-OFFindicator illuminates as a warning. If ESP-OFF indicator illuminates, pull your car to a safe place and stop theengine. Then, start the engine again to check if the ESP-OFF indicator goes out. If the indicator remains lit even after the engine has been started, have your carchecked by an authorized Hyundai dealer.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 15
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 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-DAT WINTER DRIVING The more severe weather conditions of winter result in greater wear and other problems. To minimise the prob-lems of winter driving, you should fol- low these suggestions: C160B01A-DAT Snowy or Icy Conditions To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may be necessary to use snow tyres orto install tyre chains on your tyres. If snow tyre are needed, it is necessary to select tyres equivalent in size andtype to the original equipment tires. Failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and handling of your car.Furthermore, speeding, rapid accel- eration, sudden brake applications, and sharp turns are potentially very haz-ardous practices. During deceleration, use engine brak- ing to the fullest extent. Sudden brakeapplications on snowy or icy roads may cause skids to occur. You need to keep sufficient distance between thevehicle in operation in front and your vehicle. Also, apply the brake gently. It should be noted that installing tyrechains on the tyre will provide a greater driving force, but will not prevent side skids. NOTE: Tyre chains are not legal in all states. Check state laws before fitting tyre chains.
o Keep your car clean all over. For
maximum service, your Hyundai should be kept clean and free of corrosive materials. It is especially important that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed to accumulate on the underside of the car. This extra weight can result in increased fuel con- sumption and also contribute to cor- rosion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unneces- sary weight in your car. Weight is an enemy of good fuel economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than
necessary. If you are waiting (and not in traffic), turn off your engine and restart only when you're ready to go.
o Remember, your Hyundai does not require extended warm-up. As soon as the engine is running smoothly, you can drive away. In very cold weather, however, give your engine a slightly longer warm-up period.
o Don't "labour" or "over-rev" the en- gine. Labouring is driving too slowly in too high a gear resulting in the engine bucking. If this happens to you, shift to a lower gear. Over- revving is racing the engine beyond its safe limit. This can be avoided by shifting at the recommended speeds.
