WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust gases are potentially lethal. If at any time engine exhaust gas is detected within the passenger compartment, move the vehicle to an open area and open all windows. o Never inhale exhaust gas. Exhaust gases contain Carbon Monoxide which is colourless and odourless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous and can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation. o Exhaust System Maintenance. Ensure that the exhaust system is maintained in good condition and is free from excessive corrosion and damage which may result in leakage. If the vehicle is driven over an object which strikes the exhaust system, ensure that the exhaust system is inspected at the first available opportunity to ensure that no leakage exists. o Confined Areas. Do not run the engine in confined spaces, allowing the engine to idle in a garage, even when the doors are open is dangerous practice. Only start the engine immediately prior to moving the vehicle out of the garage. o Prolonged Idling. If it is necessary to allow the vehicle to idle for prolonged periods, ensure that the heating system air intake control is set to the "Fresh" position, the blower is set to high speed operation and that the vehicle is standing in an open area. o Load Carrying. If it is necessary to carry long objects which do not permit the boot lid to be fully closed, the side windows must remain closed and the heating air intake control set to the "Fresh" position with the blower running at the highest speed setting. To ensure correct operation of the heater system, the air intake grilles at the base of the windscreen must not be obstructed by snow leaves etc..

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 8 o Always engage the parking brake when
the vehicle is unattended, never use the "P" position in place of the parking brake.
o Under normal circumstances, the selector
should be placed in the "D" position andthe transaxle allowed to select the most ideal ratio for the circumstances. In this position maximum fuel economy will be achieved.
o When descending steep gradients where
engine braking is required, the selector should be placed at the "2" or "L" position depending upon the vehicle speed.
o When ascending steep gradients using large throttle openings, the transaxle mayre-peatedly change between two adjacent ratios. This is a normal characteristic and may be prevented by cancelling the over- drive facility if the shifting occurs between third and fourth ratios, selecting position "2" if the shifting occurs between third and second ratios or selecting position "1" if the shifting occurs between first and second ratios.
o Never move the selector to or from the "P" or "N" position with the accelerator de-pressed.
o Ensure that the overdrive switch is at the "ON" position for maximum economy. o If rapid acceleration is required, fully de-
press the accelerator pedal. In this condi- tion, the kickdown mechanism will be oper- ated and the transaxle will automatically downshift according to the vehicle speed.
o The automatic transaxle may be used to
great effect if the vehicle becomes stuck insnow or mud by allowing the vehicle to be rocked to and fro. The engine speed should be held at approximately 1,000rpm by means of the accelerator pedal and the selector lever moved between the "D" and "R" positions to induce a rocking motion.
o Do not depress the accelerator pedal with
the brakes applied and the selector at the "R", "D", "2" or "L" position.
o Turn the overdrive switch on for good fuel economy and smooth driving. But if enginebraking is needed in the "D" range or if repeated upshifting and downshifting be- tween the 3rd and 4th gear is needed when climbing a gentle slope, it is recom- mended that the overdrive switch be turned off. Turn the overdrive switch back on immediately afterward.
C090I02A-EAT CAUTION:
o Shift into "R" and "P" only when the
vehicle has completely stopped.
o Do not accelerate the engine in reverse or any of the forward positions with the brakes applied.
o Always apply the footbrake when shift- ing from "P" or "N", to "R", "D", "2" or"L" position.
o Do not use the "P" (Park) position in place of the parking brake. Always setthe parking brake, shift the transaxle into "P" (Park) and turn off the ignition when you leave the vehicle, even mo- mentarily. Never leave the vehicle unat- tended whilst the engine is running.
o Check the automatic transaxle fluid level regularly, and add fluid as necessary.See the maintenance schedule for theproper fluid recommendation.
FC120D2-E
General Operating Instructions
o The button in the selector handle must be depressed before the selector can be moved.
o The engine may only be started when the selector is at position "P" or "N".
o Ensure that the footbrake is firmly applied when shifting from "P" or "N" to "D", "2", "L" or "R" and vice versa.

DRIVING FOR ECONOMY You can save fuel and get more miles from
your car if you follow these suggestions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate
rate. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts or full- throttle shifts and maintain a steady cruis- ing speed. Don't race between stoplights. Try to adjust your speed to that of the other traffic so you don't have to change speeds unnecessarily.Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible. Al- ways maintain a safe distance from other vehicles so you can avoid unnecessary braking. This also reduces brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your car uses. Drivingat a moderate speed, especially on the highway, is one of the most effective ways to reduce fuel consumption.
o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. This can increase fuel consumption and alsoincrease wear on these components. In addition, driving with your foot resting on the brake pedal may cause the brakes to overheat, which reduces their effective- ness and may lead to more serious con-
sequences.
o Take care of your tyres. Keep them inflated to the recommended pressure. Incorrectinfla-tion, either too much or too little, re- sults in unnecessary tyre wear. Check the tyre pres-sures at least once a month.
C300D02O-GAT Indicator and WarningThe indicator should illuminate when the igni-
tion key is turned to "ON" or "START", but should go out after three seconds.If the indicator does not illuminate, have it checked by an Hyundai authorised repairer. Should there be any unusual conditions in the device, TCS illuminates as a warning.If TCS illuminates, pull your car to a safe place and stop the engine. Then, start the engine again to check if theTCS indicator goes out.If the indicator remains lit even after the engine has been started, have your car checked by an Hyundai authorised repairer. NOTE: When TCS illuminates, traction control isautomatically deactivated for safety. o Be sure that the wheels are aligned cor-
rectly. Improper alignment can result from hitting curbs or driving too fast over irregu- lar surfaces. Poor alignment causes faster tyre wear and may also result in other problems as well as greater fuel consump- tion.
o Keep your car in good condition. For better fuel economy and reduced maintenancecosts, maintain your car in accordance with the maintenance schedule in Section 5. If you drive your car in severe condi- tions, more frequent maintenance is re- quired (see Section 5 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum ser- vice, your car should be kept clean and free of corrosive materials. It is especially important 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 con- tribute to corrosion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary
weight in your car. Weight is an enemy ofgood 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 car does not require extended warm-up. As soon as the engineis running smoothly, you can drive away. In very cold weather, however, give your engine a slightly longer warm-up period.
3) When the engine starts, a click is heard
from the engine compartment; however, this is only the sound of traction control being checked.
4) When moving out of the mud or fresh snow, pressing the accelerator pedalmay not cause the engine speed to increase.

APPEARANCE CARE 4-1
garding the retreatment programme must be observed in accordance with the Terms and Conditions outlined in the separate Anti Per- foration Warranty Booklet. NOTE: The underbody should never be steamcleaned since the underbody coating may be removed by this process. During the interim period between powerwashing the underbody, the more vulnera- ble areas such as wheel arches should be hosed off particularly during the winter sea- son to prevent prolonged contact with road salts.Ensure that the various drain points located at the bottom of the door panels and sills are kept clear to prevent water from becom- ing trapped within the cavities. Wherever possible, the parking of the vehicle in a confined, poorly ventilated location (a ga- rage for example) should be avoided when the vehicle is wet or is covered with snow or ice. Under these conditions, the internal cavities of the vehicle will remain damp for prolonged periods of time which will en- courage corrosion. Parking the vehicle where good ventilation exists (outside for example) is preferable.
SE040A1-E VALETING Regular cleaning of the exterior paintwork serves two important functions. Firstly, the removal of abrasive dirt and contaminants will maintain the lustre of the paintwork and will prevent discolouration and dulling due to prolonged con- tact. Secondly, the presence of damage through im- pact or abrasion will be apparent allowing early rectification to be made thus preventing corro- sion from becoming established and spreading beneath the paint film. To avoid "water spotting" the vehicle should not be washed in direct sun- light particularly in the case of vehicles having dark body colours. The heat from the sun rays is absorbed by the paint film increasing the surface temperature. This action causes water used for washing to evaporate quickly leaving behind the deposits from the water and the shampoo used. Use only a shampoo intended for the purpose and ensure that the body work is thoroughly wetted to soften the dirt film prior to attempting to remove this. After removing the dirt film with a soft sponge, the body work should be thoroughly rinsed and then dried with a good quality chamois leather to prevent streaking or spotting of the paint work. Household detergents, solvents and abrasive cleaning materials should not be used in order to avoid damaging the paint film.
SE030A1-E UNDERBODY COATINGSEvery Hyundai passenger car receives a full underbody and cavity injection treatment during production. In order that this treatment may retain maximum effectiveness it is recommend- ed that the underbody receives a power wash and a thorough inspection after each winter season. In doing so any accumulations of mud, which act as moisture traps and com- bine with road salts to accelerate corrosion will be removed. In order to maintain the Anti Perforation Warranty, the requirements re-
