IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
CAUTION:
o When towing the vehicle, take care not to cause damage to the bumper or underbody of the vehicle.
o Do not tow with sling type truck as this may cause damage to the bumper orunderbody of the vehicle.
1) If the vehicle is being towed with the rear wheels on the ground, be sure the parkingbrake is released.
NOTE: Before towing, check the level of the automatic transaxle fluid. If it is below the "HOT" range on the dipstick, add fluid. If you cannot add fluid, a towing dolly must be used.
HFC02
2) If any of the loaded wheels or suspension components are damaged or the vehicle is being towed with the front wheels on the ground, use a towing dolly under the front wheels.
o Manual Transaxle:
If you do not use a towing dolly, place theignition key in the "ACC" position and put the transaxle in "N (Neutral)".
HFC03
CAUTION: Do not tow with the key removed or in the"LOCK" position when towing from the rear without a towing dolly.
o Automatic Transaxle: Be sure to use a towing dolly under the front wheels. CAUTION:A vehicle with an automatic transaxle
should never be towed from the rear withthe front wheels on the ground. This can cause serious damage to the transaxle.
3) It is recommended that your vehicle be
towed with all the wheels off the ground.

tem will be found on page 1-2.
NOTE: Before towing, check the level of theautomatic transaxle fluid. If it is below the "HOT" range on the dipstick, add fluid. If you cannot add fluid, a towing dolly must be used. CAUTION: If the car is being towed with all four wheels on the ground, it can be towed only from the front. Be sure that the transaxle is in neutral. Do not tow at speeds greater than 30 mph (50 km/h) and for more than 15 miles (25 km). Be sure the steering is unlocked by plac-ing the key in the "ACC" position.

HFC4009
Front
Rear
For emergency towing when no commercial tow vehicle is available, attach a tow cable, chain or strap to one of the towing hooks under the front/rear of your car. Do not at- tempt to tow your vehicle in this manner on any unpaved surface. This could result in serious damage to your car.Nor should towing be attempted if the wheels, drive train, axles, steering or brakes are damaged. Before towing, be sure the transaxle is in neutral and the key is in "ACC" (with the engine off) or in the "ON" position (with the engine running). A driver must be in the towed car to steer it and operate the brakes.

APPEARANCE CARE
4-2
Plastic wheel covers should be cleaned using a sponge and water. Cast alloy wheels should be cleaned using a mild soap or neutral deter- gent. Abrasive compounds must not be used since in the event of these damaging the lac- quer coating, oxidization of the aluminium wheel will occur, spoiling the appearance. The use of an a toothbrush will facilitate cleaning between the wheel "spokes".
ensure that accidental spillages are immediately flushed with water. Do not use abrasive cleaning materials which may damage the bumpers. Avoid subjecting the bumpers to high tempera- tures such as may be encountered in high bake paint ovens.
SE040B1-E STAIN/SPOT REMOVAL Should tree sap, dead insects or tar prove to be difficult to remove from the paint film, turpentine or a proprietary paint cutting compound may be used. Ensure that the area to be cleaned is not rubbed intensively to prevent breaking through the colour coat and exposing the under coat. SE040C1-E POLISHINGThe exterior paint work should be polished with a proprietary wax polish when water no longer collects in bead form on the paint work. The instructions of the product manufacturer should be adhered to. SE040E1-E BUMPER MAINTENANCEThe special material from which the bumpers are manufactured warrants special attention to pre- serve the appearance of the bumpers. Avoid contact with battery electrolyte or brake fluid and SE040F1-E ACCIDENT REPAIRSIn the event of the body work sustaining damage, the following points should be noted prior to repairs being undertaken. If body panels are replaced or repaired, anti corrosion treatment must be applied to the repair area. The product used must be compatible withthose used in manufacture. It is recommended that repairs are entrusted to a Hyundai authorised repairer to ensure that replacement parts used are of the same high quality as those used in manufacture of the vehicle and that the correct repair methods and materials will en- sure adequate levels of corrosion protection and the continued validity of the Anti Perforation Warranty. SE050A1-E INTERIORDuring the winter period, it is possible that the passenger compartment flooring may become wet from damp footwear or quantities of snow adhering to footwear. The carpet should not be allowed to remain in this condition since the carpet may begin to create musty smells and will
SE050D1-E SEAT BELTS Seat belts should be cleaned only with a mild soap solution. Strong detergents, solvents or bleaches may damage the belt webbing and therefore reduce the effectiveness of the belt. Belts which display signs of fraying, wear of cuts should be replaced. SE050E1-E WINDOWS A proprietary glass cleaner should be used to clean the inside of the windows. However, the rear heated windshield must only be cleaned using a light horizontal cleaning action. Care should be exercised to avoid the use of abrasive cleaners or contact with items of jewellery which may damage the heating elements.
promote corrosion of the floor pan in addition tothe carpet and under felt beginning to rot. SE050C1-E INTERIOR VALETING The soft trim and carpets should be maintained with the regular use of a vacuum cleaner. Heavy soiling should be removed with a dry cleaning agent recommended for this purpose following the instructions of the product manufacturer. Paint thinner, solvents or other such cleaning materials should not be used since damage to the upholstery may result.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING REQUIREMENTS To ensure the continued reliability and safety
of the vehicle, certain routine maintenance operations are required at specific mileage ortime intervals.
It is the responsibility of the vehicle owner to
ensure that the maintenance schedules shownin both this Owners Manual and the Warrantyand Service Passport are adhered to.
The new vehicle warranty may be invalidated
if the routine maintenance operations are notperformed in line with the recommendationsoutlined and the safety and durability of thevehicle adversely affected.
It is recommended that all maintenance op-
erations with the exception of the daily oper-ating checks are entrusted to a Hyundaiauthorised repairer to ensure that the latestrepair and maintenance procedures andspecialised servicing tools are employed. In addition, the use of genuine Hyundai re-
placement parts will ensure that the vehiclesafety and performance will not be compro-mised. NOTE: The inspection and testing of certain elec-
tronic fuel injection/engine management and automatic transmission control sys-tems require specialised electronic equip-ment specifically designed for Hyundaivehicles. The use of general purpose elec-trical test equipment may result in dam-age to the control unit microprocessors.

Specified Scheduled Procedures The Specified scheduled procedures are listed
in the maintenance charts beginning at page 5-2. The operations specified must be per-formed at the time or mileage intervals shownirrespective of whether the mileage intervalhas been reached before the specified timeinterval.
Certain lubricants and components degrade
with both time and mileage (e.g. engine oil andbrake fluid) and therefore it is not permissableto base the maintenance schedule upon mile-age alone. It is strongly recommended thatthe maintenance operations are performed bythe factory-trained or distributor-trained tech-nicians at your Hyundai authorised repairer because of the need for specialised knowl-edge and tooling and to ensure that no pos-sibility of invalidating the manufacturers war-ranty exists.
The maintenance schedules relate to ve-
hicles operated under normal conditions, ve-hicles which are operated under adverseconditions will require more frequent mainte-nance which is described at page 5-5. NOTE:
Service schedules may change depend-
ing on individual country needs. Please ask your local Hyundai authorised re-pairer for a copy of the service schedulethat relates to that country.
SF030B1-E
SERVICE HISTORY It is important that all scheduled maintenanceservices are recorded in the warranty andservice passport to ensure that proof of main-tenance is available when warranty service isrequired.
