C055B01B-GAT STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE FOR TURBO CHARGERINTERCOOLER (DIESEL EN-GINE)
(1) Do not race the engine or sudden
accelerate the engine immediately after start it. If the engine is cold, allow the engine to idle for severalseconds before it is driven to en- sure sufficient lubrication of the turbo charger unit.
(2) After high speed or extended driv- ing, requiring a heavy engine load,the engine should be allowed to idleabout 1 minute before turning it off. This idle time will allow the turbo charger to cool prior to shutting theengine off.
!WARNING:
Do not turn the engine off immedi- ately after it has been subjected toa heavy load. Doing so may cause severe damage to the engine or turbo charger unit.
C050B01HP
NOTE: If the engine were not started 10 seconds after the preheating is com- pleted, turn the ignition key once more to the "LOCK" position, andthen to the "ON" position, in order to preheat again. WARNING:
Be sure that the clutch is fully de- pressed when starting a manual transaxle vehicle. Otherwise there is the potential to cause damage tothe vehicle or injury to someone inside or outside the vehicle as a result of the forward or backwardmovement of the vehicle that will occur if the clutch is not depressed when the vehicle is started.
5. Turn the ignition key to the "Start" position and release it when the engine starts.

C070A01TB NOTE:
o To shift into reverse, rest the lever
in neutral for at least 3 seconds after your car is completelystopped. Then move the lever into the reverse position.
o During cold weather, shifting may
be difficult until the transaxle lu-bricant has warmed up. This is normal and not harmful to thetransaxle.
o If you 've come to a complete
stop and it's hard to shift into 1 st
or R(Reverse), put the shift lever in N(Neutral) position and release the clutch. Press the clutch pedalback down, and then shift into 1 st
or R(Reverse) gear position.
o Do not use the shift lever as a
handrest during driving, as this can result in premature wear of the transaxle shift forks.
C070A02TB-AAT OPERATING THE MANUAL TRANSAXLE Your Hyundai's manual transaxle has a conventional shift pattern. This shiftpattern is imprinted on the shift knob. The transaxle is fully synchronized in all forward gears so shifting to either ahigher or a lower gear is easily accom- plished. When shifting into reverse gear, pull the mis-shift prevention tab and shift into reverse gear position. (Type B: Dieseltype) CAUTION:
When downshifting from fifth gear tofourth gear, caution should be taken not to inadvertently press the gear lever sideways in such a manner thatsecond gear is engaged. Such a dras- tic downshift may cause the engine speed to increase to the point thatthe tachometer will enter the red- zone. Such over-revving of the en- gine may possibly cause engine dam-age.
!
Type A Type B
!WARNING:
If your vehicle has a manual transaxle not equipped with a ignition lockswitch, it may move and cause a serious accident when starting the engine without depressing the clutchpedal while the parking brake is re- leased and the shift never not in the N(Neutral) position.

ating or shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an abrupt change in ve- hicle speed can cause the drivewheels to lose traction and the ve- hicle to go out of control.
!
C070D02O-AAT Good Driving Practices
o Never take the car out of gear and
coast down a hill. This is extremely hazardous. Always leave the car in gear.
o Don't "ride" the brakes. This can
cause them to overheat and mal-function. Instead, when you are driv- ing down a long hill, slow down andshift to a lower gear. When you do this, engine braking will help slow the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. This will help avoid over-rev-ving the engine, which can causedamage.
o Slow down when you encounter
cross winds. This gives you muchbetter control of your car.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped
before you attempt to shift into re-verse. The transaxle can be dam- aged if you do not. To shift into reverse, depress the clutch, movethe shift lever to neutral, wait three seconds, then shift to the reverse position.
o Exercise extreme caution when driv- ing on a slippery surface. Be espe-cially careful when braking, acceler-

20 km/h (15 mph) 40 km/h (25 mph) 55 km/h (35 mph)75 km/h (45 mph)
The shift points as shown above are recommended for optimum fueleconomy and performance. WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lanechanges 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 pull- ing back into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed lim- its.
C070B01A-AAT Using the Clutch The clutch should be pressed all the way to the floor before shifting, thenreleased slowly. The clutch pedal should always be used after fully re- turning to the original position. Do notrest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving. This can cause unnecessary wear. Do not partially engage the clutchto hold the car on an incline. This causes unnecessary wear. Use the parking brake to hold the car on anincline. Do not operate the clutch pedal rapidly and repeatedly.

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.

2- 10 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
C090H01A-GAT NOTE:
o For smooth and safe operation,
depress the brake pedal when shifting from "Neutral" positionor "Park" position to a forward or reverse gear.
o The brake pedal fully depressed in order to move the shift leverfrom the "P" (Park) position to any of the other positions.
o It is always possible to shift from "R", "N", "D", "2", "L" position to"P" position. The vehicle mustbe fully stopped to avoid transaxle damage.
C090F01A-AAT o 2 (Second gear): Use for driving on a slippery road, hill climbing or engine braking downhill."2" automatically shifts between first and second gears. This means that no shift-up to 3rd gearis performed. However, the shift-up to third gear is done when the car speed exceeds a certain value to prevent the
engine from over-revving. Manually move the selector to "D" returning to normal driving condition.
C090E02A-GAT o D (Drive): Use for normal driving. Bring the car to a complete stop before shifting theselector lever to "D" position. The transaxle will automatically shift through a four-gear sequence. Never downshiftmanually to "2" position or "L" position when vehicle speed is more than 95 km/h (60 mph).
C090C01A-AAT o R(Reverse): Use for backing up the vehicle. Bring the car to a complete stop before shift-ing the selector lever to "R" position.
C090G01S-GAT o L (Low gear): Use for driving up a very steep grade or for engine braking when descending steep hills. When downshifting to "L", the transaxle will temporarily remain insecond gear until the vehicle has slowed enough for low gear to engage. Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) in lowgear. "L" shifts to 1st gear only. Howev- er, shift up to 2nd is performed when the car exceeds a certain speed and, asspeed increases, the transaxle will shift up to 3rd gear to prevent over-revving the engine.
C090D02A-AAT o N (Neutral): In the "N" position, the transaxle is in neutral, which means that no gears are engaged. The engine can be startedwith the shift lever in "N" position, although this is not recommended ex- cept if the engine stalls while the car ismoving.

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.

ing action returns to normal, taking care to keep the car under control at
all times. If the braking action doesnot return to normal, stop as soon as it is safe to do so and call your Hyundai dealer for assistance.
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 pedal
while 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 tire goes flat while you are driving, apply the brakes gently andkeep the car pointed straight ahead while you slow down. When you are
moving 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. o Use caution when parking on a hill.
Engage the parking brake and place
the gear selector lever in "P" (auto-matic transaxle) or in first or reverse gear (manual transaxle). If your car is facing downhill, turn the frontwheels into the curb to help keep the car from rolling. If your car is facing
uphill, turn the front wheels awayfrom the curb to help keep the car from rolling. If there is no curb or if it is requiredby other conditions to keep the car from rolling, block the wheels.
o Under some conditions your park-
ing brake can freeze in the engagedposition. This is most likely to hap- pen when there is an accumulationof snow or ice around or near the rear brakes or if the brakes are wet. If there is a risk that the parkingbrake may freeze, apply it only tem- porarily while you put the gear se- lector lever in "P" (automatic) or infirst or reverse gear (manual transaxle) and block the rear wheels so the car cannot roll. Then releasethe parking brake. C120A03A-AAT ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (If Installed) The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed to prevent wheel lock-up during sudden braking or on hazard-ous road surfaces. The ABS control module monitors the wheel speed and controls the pressure applied to eachbrake. Thus, in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABS will increase vehicle control during braking. NOTE:
o A click sound may be heard in the
engine compartment when the ve- hicle begins to move after the en- gine is started. These conditions are normal and indicate that theanti-lock brake system (Electronic Stability Program) is functioning properly.
o During ABS (ESP) operation, a slight pulsation may be felt in the
o Do not hold the vehicle on the up-
grade with the accelerator pedal. Thiscan cause the transmission to over-heat. Always use the brake pedal or parking brake.
