DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 7
C090A01L-GAT AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE (4A/T, 5A/T)
HXG065In the main gate, selector lever has 4/ 5 positions, and is equipped with abutton to avoid inadvertent wrong se-lection. NOTE:
Depress the brake pedal and push the button when shifting. Push the button when shifting.The selector lever can be shiftedfreely.
The first few shifts on a new ve- hicle, or if the battery has been taken away and reinstalled, may besomewhat abrupt. This is a normalcondition, and the shifting se-quence will become normal aftershifts are cycled a few times by T.C.M (Transaxle Control Module).o Exercise extreme caution when driv- ing on a slippery surface. Be espe- cially careful when braking, acceler-ating or shifting gears. On a slipperysurface, an abrupt change in ve- hicle speed can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the ve-hicle to go out of control.
WARNING:
o The risk of rollover is greatly in- creased if you lose control of your vehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the roadway 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 In a collision crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likelyto die than a person wearing a seatbelt. The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transaxle has four/five forward speedsand one reverse speed. The individual speeds are selected automatically, depending on the position of the speedselector lever. The selector lever has 2gates; the main gate and the manualgate.
NOTE: For information on manual gate operation, refer to "Sports Mode".

3- 12 WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
If the car is being towed with the rear wheels on the ground, be sure theparking brake is released.
o OK FOR AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL
TRANSAXLE EQUIPPED VEHICLE D080C01LD080D02A-GAT EMERGENCY TOWING
For emergency towing when no com- mercial tow vehicle is available, attacha tow cable, chain or strap to one of thetie-down hooks under the front of your car. Do not attempt to tow your vehicle in this manner on any unpaved sur-face. This could result in serious dam-age to your car.Nor should towing be attempted if thewheels, drive train, axles, steering or brakes are damaged. Before towing, be sure the transaxle is in neutral andthe key is in "ACC" (with the engine off)or in the "ON" position (with the enginerunning). A driver must be in the towedcar to steer it and operate the brakes. D080D01L
CAUTION:
If the car is being towed with all fourwheels on the ground, it can betowed only from the front. Be surethat the transaxle is in neutral. Do not tow at speeds greater than 50 km/h (30 mph) and for more than 25km (15 miles).Be sure the steering is unlocked byplacing the key in the "ACC" posi-tion. A driver must be in the towed vehicle to operate the steering and brakes. D120A01A-GAT IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYS If you lose your keys, many Hyundai dealers can make you a new key if youhave your key number.If you lock the keys inside your car andyou cannot obtain a new key, many Hyundai dealers can use special tools to open the door for you. Information about the key of immobi- lizer system (if installed) will be foundon page 1-4.
!
NOTE: Before towing, check the level of the transaxle fluid. If it is below the"HOT" range on the dipstick, addfluid. If you cannot add fluid, a towing dolly must be used.

CAUTION:
Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tires are cold. That is, after the car has been parked for at least threehours and hasn't been driven more than 1.6 km or one mile since starting up.
o Check the pressure of your spare tire each time you check thepressure of other tires.
o Never overload your car. Be es- pecially careful about overload-ing if you equip your car with a luggage rack or car top carrier. I040A01S-GAT SNOW TIRES If you equip your car with snow tires, they should be the same size and have the same load capacity as the original tires. Snow tires should beinstalled on all four wheels; other- wise, poor handling may result. Snow tires should carry 28 kPa (4 psi) more air pressure than the pres- sure recommended for the standard tires on the tire label on the driver'sdoor edge, or up to the maximum pressure shown on the tire sidewall whichever is less.Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75mph) when your car is equipped withsnow tires.

These pressures were chosen to pro-
vide the most satisfactory combina-tion of ride comfort, tire wear and stability under normal conditions. Tire pressures should be checked at least monthly. Proper tire inflation pressures should be maintained for these reasons:
o Lower-than-recommended tire pressures cause uneven tread wear and poor handling.
o Higher-than-recommended tire pressures increase the chance ofdamage from impacts and causeuneven tread wear.

I100A01FC-GAT SPARE TIRE AND TOOLS Your Hyundai is delivered with the following: Spare tire and Wheel Wheel nut wrench, Wrench bar, Spanner, Screwdriver Jack I100A03L
The original tires on your car have tread wear indicators. The tread wear indicators appear when the treaddepth is 1.6 mm (0.06 in.). The tire should be replaced when these ap- pear as a solid bar across two ormore grooves of the tread. Always replace your tires with those of the recommended size. If you changewheels, the new wheel's rim width and offset must meet Hyundai speci- fications.

TIRE TRACTION
Tire traction can be reduced if you
drive on worn tires, tires that are improperly inflated or on slippery road surfaces. Tires should be replacedwhen tread wear indicators appear. To reduce the possibility of losing control, slow down whenever there israin, snow or ice on the road.

HGK248WARNING:
o Driving on worn-out tires is dan- gerous! Worn-out tires can cause loss of braking effective- ness, steering control and trac-tion. When replacing tires, never mix radial and bias-ply tires on the same car. If you replace ra-dial tires with biasply tires, they must be installed in sets of four.
o Using tires and wheels of other than the recommended sizesmay cause unusual handling characteristics that may causedeath, serious injury, or prop- erty damage.
