CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENTSB210S1-E BRAKE PAD WEAR INDICATOR The front brake disc pads are fitted with an audible wear indicator which will cause a highpitched noise to be emitted when the remain-ing amount of friction lining is below the speci-fied value. When the wear indicator is heard,the brake pads should be replaced withoutdelay to avoid damage occurring to the brakediscs and a severe reduction in braking effi-ciency.

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT
This light illuminates when there is a malfunc- tion of an exhaust gas related component,and the system is not functioning properly sothat the exhaust gas regulation values are notsatisfied. This light will illuminate when theignition key is tuned to the "ON" position, andwill go out after the engine start. If it illumi-nates while driving, or does not illuminatewhen the ignition key is turned to the "ON"position, take your car to your nearest autho-rized Hyundai dealer and have the systemchecked.

The indicator light illuminates amber when the ignition switch is placed at the "ON" position.The engine can be started after the pre-heatindicator light goes off. The illuminating timevaries with the water temperature, air tem-perature and battery condition. NOTE: If the engine were not started 10 seconds after the preheating is completed, turn theignition key once more to the "LOCK"position, and then to the "ON" position, inorder to preheat again.
B265A01B-GAT FUEL FILTER WARNING LIGHT-RED (Diesel Engine)

STEERING WHEEL LOCK When the key is removed, the steering col-
umn lock will be activated and will engage when the steering wheel is turned to theappropriate position. It is not necessary toturn the wheel until locked each time the keyis removed since in the event of any unautho-rized attempt at removal, the lock will becomeeffective as soon as the steering wheel isturned. To unlock the steering, insert the keyand turn to the "ACC" position. If the steeringis locked, it may be necessary to rock thesteering wheel slightly to facilitate turning thekey. Under no circumstances should the keybe forced since breakage of the key will occur. SC060A1-E
STARTING THE GASOLINE ENGINE
1. Ensure that the transaxle is in neutral and that the clutch pedal is held depressed (manual transaxle) or the transaxle selec-tor is at the "P" position (automatic transaxlevehicle).
2. Turn the ignition key to and hold at the "Start" position until the engine starts.When the engine has started, release thekey.
NOTE: Do not operate the starter for more than 15
seconds continuously or continue to oper- ate the starter after the engine has startedto avoid damaging the starter motor. If theengine makes a false start, allow it and thestarter motor to come to rest before at-tempting to start the engine again. Neverattempt to start the engine with thetransaxle in gear.

STARTING THE DIESEL ENGINE
ENGINE COLD
o Turn the ignition key to position "ON" and wait for the pre-heat indicator light to goout.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 12 NOTE: Never allow undiluted screen washer fluid additive to spill upon the paintwork or useengine coolant anti-freeze since damage tothe paintwork may result.
o When driving in extreme conditions, the windscreen wiper blades may fail to clearthe screen properly due to the formation ofice upon the blade edge. It will therefore benecessary to periodically remove such iceto restore their efficiency.
o If the power operated door mirrors become frozen, attempts to adjust these may dam-age the mechanism.
o The formation of snow or ice built up inside the wheel arches may interfere with theroad wheels or steering mechanism. Insuch instances, unusual noises or an in-crease in steering effort may result. There-fore, ensure that the wheel arches arechecked periodically and any accumulatedsnow or ice removed.
o It is advisable to carry emergency equip- ment including, torch, shovel, tow rope,blankets etc., if a journey is to be under-taken into areas of severe road conditions.

Door Locks
Should the door lock mechanism becomefrozen, a proprietary lock de-icer should beused. Alternatively, warming the door keymay thaw the door lock. However, the keyshould be handled carefully to avoid burningthe fingers. Never attempt to thaw a frozen door lock using hot water, since the water will eventu-ally freeze and compound the problem. NOTE: The proper temperature for using the im-mobilizer key is from -40°F to 176°F (-40°Cto 80°C). If you heat the immobilizer keyover 176°F (80°C) to open the frozen lock,it may cause damage to the transponderin its head.
SC170E1-E Windscreen Washers and Wipers The windscreen washer bottle should be filled
with a solution of water and a proprietary winter screen wash additive. The windscreenwipers should not be used if the blades arefrozen to the windscreen or if they are cov-ered with snow, before this is removed.

Electrical System
Winter conditions impose severe demandsupon vehicle electrical systems, particularlythe charging circuit. The battery condition andperformance along with the alternator perfor-mance and drive belt condition should bechecked prior to the onset of winter. ZC170C1-E Anti-freeze/Corrosion inhibitorThe cooling system must always contain an Ethylene-Glycol based anti-freeze solution.The system is filled during manufacture withsolution of the correct strength which shouldbe checked before the onset of winter andadjusted or changed as required. NOTE: The anti-freeze solution contains a corro-sion inhibitor to prevent degradation of thealuminum castings contained within theengine. Therefore, never, drain the systemand refill with water only. In addition, anti-freeze solution must ALWAYS be used in vehicles fitted with air conditioning,to prevent the heater matrix from freezing andsubsequently bursting with the refrigerationsystem in use.
