DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 5
SC090A03-E MANUAL TRANSAXLE
HFC3029
The five speed fully synchronized transaxle is controlled by a floor mounted shift lever upon which the shift pattern is indicated. It is impor- tant that when changing gear, the clutch pedal is fully depressed to avoid transaxle damage. CAUTION:
o Do not attempt to engage reverse gear
when the car is in motion.
o To avoid damaging the selector mecha- nism, do not use the gear shift lever as a hand rest. Release the lever immedi- ately the shift is completed.
o To avoid premature clutch wear, do not use the clutch pedal as a foot rest, anddo not hold the vehicle on a gradient using the clutch.
o Ensure that the engine is not over-revved by upshifting before the tachometerneedle enters the red zone.
o Do not coast with the shift lever at the neutral position.
o When descending long gradients, make use of the engine braking to assist thefootbrake to avoid brake fade or over- heating.
o When slippery conditions are encoun- tered, increased caution should be ex-ercised when gear changing, braking or accelerating. Abrupt changes in speed may cause a loss of traction or control of the vehicle.
o During cold weather, shifting may be difficult until the transaxle lubricant haswarmed up. This is normal and not harmful to the transaxle.
o Anticipate the road and conditions ahead
to enable adjustments in speed to be madesmoothly. Avoid heavy acceleration and sharp braking.
o Avoid cruising at unnecessary high speeds.
o Always ensure that the periodic mainte- nance services are performed by aHyundai authorised repairer at the time and/or mileage intervals specified.
o Use the air conditioning only when neces- sary.
o If you 've come to a complete stop and
it's hard to shift into 1 st
or R(Reverse),
put the shift lever in N(Neutral) posi- tion and release the clutch. Press the clutch pedal back down, and then shift into 1 st
or R(Reverse) gear position.
o Do not use the shift lever as a handrest during driving, as this can result inpremature wear of the transaxle shift forks.
WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lanechanges or fast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts. In a collision crash, an unbelted per- son is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seatbelt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly increased
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 andthe driver oversteers to reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the roadway, do not steer sharply. Instead,slow down before pulling back into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed limits.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS 5-1

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.

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE In order to ensure continued reliability, safety and longevity, regular maintenance performed at the intervals specified is essential. The maintenance
intervals specified are based both on time elapsed and mileage covered since the previous maintenance service was performed. However, under severe operating conditions, certain scheduled operations should be performed at shorter intervals.
Regular maintenance should be entrusted to Hyundai authorised repairer who is best able to provide the expertise required to ensure optimum
operational performance.
In addition the use of Hyundai replacement parts and service consumables will ensure that the original build quality, operation al performance and
safety are maintained.
