DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 11
C120A02A-AAT ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (If installed) The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed to prevent wheel lock-upduring sudden braking or on hazard-ous road surfaces. The ABS controlmodule monitors the wheel speed and controls the pressure applied to each brake. Thus, in emergency situationsor on slick roads, ABS will increasevehicle control during braking. NOTE: During ABS operation, a slight pul- sation may be felt in the brake pedal when the brakes are applied. Also, a noise may be heard in the enginecompartment while driving. Theseconditions are normal and indicatethat the anti-lock brake system isfunctioning properly. WARNING:
ABS will not prevent accidents due to improper or dangerous driving maneuvers. Even though vehiclecontrol is improved during emer-gency braking, always maintain asafe distance between you and ob-jects ahead. Vehicle speeds should always be reduced during extreme road conditions.The braking distance for carsequipped with an anti-lock brakingsystem may be longer than for thosewithout it in the following road con- ditions.
o Driving on rough, gravel or snow- covered roads.
o Driving with tire chains installed.
o Driving on roads where the road surface is pitted or has different surface height.
During these conditions the vehicle should be driven at reduced speeds.The safety features of an ABSequipped vehicle should not be tested by high speed driving or cornering. This could endanger thesafety of yourself or others.
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 vehi- cle speed can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle to goout of control.
CAUTION:
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.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 17
C160I01A-AAT Don't Let Your Parking Brake Freeze Under some conditions your parking brake can freeze in the engaged posi-tion. This is most likely to happenwhen there is an accumulation of snow or ice around or near the rear brakes or if the brakes are wet. If there is a riskthe parking brake may freeze, apply itonly temporarily while you put the gearselector lever in "P" (automatic) or infirst or reverse gear (manual transaxle) and block the rear wheels so the car cannot roll. Then release the parkingbrake.
C160H01A-AAT Use Approved Anti-Freeze in Window Washer System To keep the water in the window washer system from freezing, add an approvedanti-freeze solution in accordance withinstructions on the container. Windowwasher anti-freeze is available fromHyundai dealers and most auto parts outlets. Do not use engine coolant or other types of anti-freeze as thesemay damage the finish.
C160K01A-AAT Carry Emergency Equipment Depending on the severity of the weather where you drive your car, youshould carry appropriate emergency equipment. Some of the items you may want to carry include tire chains,tow straps or chains, flashlight, emer-gency flares, sand, a shovel, jumpercables, a window scraper, gloves,ground cloth, coveralls, a blanket, etc.
C160J01A-AAT Don't Let Ice and Snow Accumu- late Underneath Under some conditions, snow and ice can build up under the fenders andinterfere with the steering. When driv-ing in severe winter conditions wherethis may happen, you should periodi- cally check underneath the car to be sure the movement of the front wheelsand the steering components is notobstructed.
C170A01A-AAT HIGH SPEED MOTORING Pre-Trip Inspections 1. Tires: Adjust the tire inflation pressures tospecification. Low tire inflation pres-sures will result in overheating andpossible failure of the tires. Avoid using worn or damaged tires which may result in reduced traction ortire failure. NOTE: Never exceed the maximum tire in- flation pressure shown on the tires. 2. Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil: High speed travel consumes 1.5 timesmore fuel than urban motoring. Do notforget to check both engine coolantand engine oil. 3. Drive belt: A loose or damaged drive belt mayresult in overheating of the engine.

WARNING:
Improperly loading your car and trailer can seriously affect its steer-ing and braking performance caus- ing a crash which could cause seri- ous injury or death. C190F01Y-GAT Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check hitch and
safety chain connections as well as proper operation of the trailer run-ning lights, brake lights, and turnsignals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a mod-
erate speed (Less than 100 km/h)
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel
than normal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking effi-
ciency and electrical charging per- formance, do not use fifth gear (manual transaxle).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pres-
sure of all tires on the trailer and your car. Low tire pressure can seriously affect the handling. Alsocheck the spare tire.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more affected by crosswind andbuffeting. When being passed by a large ve- hicle, keep a constant speed andsteer straight ahead. If there is toomuch wind buffeting slow down to

To replace the spare tirein its storage compartment, tighten thebolt firmly with your fingers until there is no more play in the spare tire.D050A01A-AAT IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE If a tire goes flat while you are driving:
1. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the car slow down while driving straight ahead. Do not apply the brakes immediately or at- tempt to pull off the road as this maycause a loss of control. When thecar has slowed to such a speed thatit is safe to do so, brake carefullyand pull off the road. Drive off the road as far as possible and park on firm, level ground. If you are on adivided highway, do not park in themedian area between the two trafficlanes.
2. When the car is stopped, turn on your emergency hazard flashers,set the parking brake and put thetransaxle in "P" (automatic) or re-verse (manual transaxle).
3. Have all passengers get out of the
car. Be sure they all get out on the side of the car that is away from traffic.
4. Change the tire according to the
instructions provided as following.

4- 4 CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE
trol chemicals are used, you should pay particular attention to the under-side of the car. Start by rinsing the carto remove dust and loose dirt. In win-ter, or if you have driven through mud or muddy water, be sure to thoroughly clean the underside as well. Use ahard direct stream of water to removeaccumulations of mud or corrosivematerials. High pressure car washesmay cause water to enter your vehicle. Use a good quality car-washing solu- tion and follow the manufacturer's di-rections on the package. These areavailable at your Hyundai dealer orauto parts outlet. Don't use stronghousehold detergents, gasoline, strong solvents or abrasive cleaning powders as these may damage the finish.Use a clean sponge or cloth, rinse itfrequently and don't damage the finishby rubbing too hard. For stubborn spots,dampen them frequently and remove them a little at a time. To clean whitewall tires, use a stiff brush or soapy steel-wool scouringpad.To clean plastic wheel covers, use aclean sponge or soft cloth and water. To clean cast aluminum alloy wheels, use a mild soap or neutral detergent.Do not use abrasive cleaners. Protectthe bare-metal surfaces by cleaning,polishing and waxing. Because alumi- num is subject to corrosion, be sure to give aluminum alloy wheels specialattention in winter. If you drive onsalted roads, clean the wheels thor-oughly afterwards. After washing, be sure to rinse thor- oughly. If soapy water dries on thefinish, streaking will result. When the weather is warm and the humidity low, you may find it neces- sary to rinse each section immediately after washing to avoid streaking. After rinsing, dry the car using a dampchamois or soft, absorbent cloth. Thereason for drying the car is to removewater from the car so it will dry withoutwater spots. Don't rub, this can dam- age the finish. If you find any nicks or scratches in the paint, use touch-up paint to coverthem to prevent corrosion. To protectthe paintwork of the car against corro- sion, you must clean your Hyundai (at least once a month). Give special at-tention to the removal of salt, mud andother substances on the underside ofthe splashboards of the car. Makesure that the outlets and the underside of the doors are open. Paint damage can be caused by small accumulationof tar, industrial precipitation, tree resin,insects and bird droppings, when notremoved immediately. If water alone isnot strong enough to remove the accu- mulated dirt, use a mild car washing solution. Be sure to rinse the surfaceafter washing to remove the solution.Never allow the solution to dry on thepainted surfaces.
