When installing a container of liquid air freshener inside the vehicle, do not place it near the instrument cluster nor
on the instrument panel surface. If there is any leakage from the air freshener onto these areas (Instrument cluster,
instrument panel or air ventilator), it may damage these parts. If the liquid from the air freshener does leak onto these
areas, wash them with water immediately.

NOTE:o It should be noted that prolonged opera-
tion of the heating system in " " mode
will give rise to misting of the windshield
and side windows and the air within the
passenger compartment will become
stale. In addition prolonged use of the air
conditioning with the " " mode selected
may result in the air within the passenger
compartment becoming excessively dry.
o When the ignition switch is turned "ON",
the air intake control will change to " "

BI-LEVEL HEATINGB700A01A-AATYour Hyundai is equipped with bi-level heating
controls. This makes it possible to have cooler
air from the dashboard vents and warmer air
from the floor outlets at the same time. To use
this feature:
o Set the air intake control to the fresh air ( )
position.
o Set the air flow control at the bi-level ( )
position.
o Set the temperature control between "Cool"
and "Warm"
B700A01L
o To keep dust or unpleasant fumes from
entering the car through the ventilation sys-
tem, temporarily set the air intake control to
the position. Be sure to return the control
to the position when the irritation has
passed to keep fresh air in the vehicle. This
will help keep the driver alert and comfort-
able.
o Air for the heating/cooling system is drawn
in through the grilles just ahead of the wind-
shield. Care should be taken that these are
not blocked by leaves, snow, ice or other
obstructions.B730A01L-AATOPERATION TIPS

B740D01Y-AATOperation Tipso If the interior of the car is hot when you first
get in, open the windows for a few minutes
to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air conditioning
system, keep all windows closed to keep hot
air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy traffic, shift
to a lower gear. This increases engine speed,
which in turn increases the speed of the air
conditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air conditioning off
to avoid the possibility of the engine over-
heating.
o During winter months or in periods when the
air conditioning is not used regularly, run the
air conditioning once every month for a few
minutes. This will help circulate the lubri-
cants and keep your system in peak oper-
ating condition.
!
CAUTION:
o Replace the filter every 12,000 miles
(20,000 km) or once a year.
If the car is being driven in severe condi-
tions such as dusty, rough roads, more
frequent air conditioner filter inspec-
tions and changes are required.
o When the air flow rate is decreased, it
must be checked at an authorized
Hyundai dealer.
o If your vehicle is not equipped with this
filter, it can be installed by your dealer.
Check with your dealer for details.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
12
SMOOTH CORNERING
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned cor-
rectly. Improper alignment can result from
hitting curbs or driving too fast over irregular
surfaces. Poor alignment causes faster tire
wear and may also result in other problems
as well as greater fuel consumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For better
fuel economy and reduced maintenance
costs, maintain your car in accordance with
the maintenance schedule in Section 5. If
you drive your car in severe conditions,
more frequent maintenance is required (see
Section 5 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum service,
your Hyundai should be kept clean and free
of corrosive materials. It is especially impor-
tant that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed to
accumulate on the underside of the car. This
extra weight can result in increased fuel
consumption and also contribute to corro-
sion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary
weight in your car. Weight reduces fuel
economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than neces-
sary. 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 en-
gine a slightly longer warm-up period.
o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging
is driving too slowly in too high a gear result-
ing in the engine bucking. If this happens,
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.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air
conditioning system is operated by engine
power so your fuel economy is reduced
when you use it.
C150A01A-AATAvoid braking or gear changing in corners,
especially when roads are wet. Ideally, corners
should always be taken under gentle accelera-
tion. If you follow these suggestions, tire wear
will be held to a minimum.
