C050B03S-EAT NORMAL CONDITIONS The Starting Procedure:
1. Insert key, and fasten the seat belt.
2. Depress the clutch pedal fully and
place the gearshift lever (manualtransaxle) in neutral or the selectorlever (automatic transaxle) in "P" (park) position. NOTE: If the engine does not start 10 sec- onds after the preheating is complet- ed, turn the ignition key once moreto the "LOCK" position, and then to the "ON" position, in order to pre- heat again.
WARNING:
Be sure that the clutch is fully de- pressed when starting a manual transaxle vehicle. This will prevent sudden movement should the ve- hicle be started in gear without theclutch depressed. Otherwise there is the potential to cause damage to the vehicle or injury to a person insideor outside of the vehicle as a result of this sudden vehicle movement.
5. Turn the ignition key to the "START" position and release it when the en- gine starts.
C051A01O-EAT Starting The Diesel Engine ENGINE COLD
o Turn the ignition key to position "ON"
and wait for the pre-heat indicator light to go out.
o Operate the starter until the engine runs.
ENGINE WARM Operate the starter. If the engine does not respond on the first attempt, wait several seconds and try again using thepre-heat. 3. After turning the ignition key to the
"ON" position, make certain all warn-ing lights and gauges are function- ing properly before starting the en- gine.
4. On vehicles equipped with the die- sel preheat indicator light, turn theignition key to the "ON" position.The diesel pre-heat indicator light will first illuminate in amber, and then after a short time, the amberillumination will goes off, indicating that preheating is completed.

SC130A1-E Overdrive Switch The overdrive switch prevents the transaxle upshifting higher than third gear when the switch is turned "OFF".The transaxle will start from rest in first gear and upshift to second and third gear depending upon the roadspeedand throttle opening but will not upshift to fourth gear. When the overdrive switch is turned "ON", the transaxle will startfrom rest in first gear and will upshift, depending upon roadspeed and throttle opening to second, third and fourthgear. Therefore, when the overdrive switch is turned "OFF", the transaxle performs as a three speed unit and theoverdrive warning light located in the instrument cluster will be illuminated. HFC3023-D
When the overdrive switch is turned "ON", the transaxle functions as a fullyautomatic four speed unit with the maxi- mum fuel economy potential of the vehicle being realized. FC120D3-E General Operating Instructions
o The button in the selector handle
must be depressed before the selec- tor 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.
o Always engage the parking brake
when the vehicle is unattended, neveruse the "P" position in place of the parking brake.
o Under normal circumstances, the se- lector should be placed in the "D"position and the transaxle allowed to select the most ideal ratio for thecircumstances. In this position maxi- mum 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, thetransaxle may repeatedly changebetween 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, se- lecting position "2" if the shiftingoccurs between third and second ratios or selecting position "1" if the shifting occurs between first andsecond ratios.
o Never move the selector to or from
the "P" or "N" position with the accel-erator depressed.
o Ensure that the overdrive switch is at
the "ON" position for maximumeconomy.
o If rapid acceleration is required, fully
depress the accelerator pedal. Inthis condition, the kickdown mecha- nism will be operated and the transaxle will automatically down-shift according to the vehicle speed.

14ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
SC140B2-E (Not all models) The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed to prevent wheel lock-up dur-ing sudden braking or on hazardous road surfaces. The ABS control module monitors the wheel speed and controlsthe pressure applied to each brake. Thus, in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABS will increase vehiclecontrol during braking. NOTE: A click sound may be heard in the engine compartment when the ve- hicle begins to move after the engine is started. These conditions are nor-mal and indicate that the anti-lock brake system (Electronic Stability Program) is functioning properly. During ABS (ESP) operation, a slight pulsation may be felt in the brake pedalwhen the brakes are applied. Also, a noise may be heard in the engine com- partment whilst braking. These condi-tions are normal and indicate that the anti-lock brake system is functioning properly. WARNING:
ABS (ESP) will not prevent accidents due to improper or dangerous driv-ing maneuvers. Even though vehicle control is improved during emer- gency braking, always maintain a safe distance between you and ob- jects ahead. Vehicle speeds should always be reduced during extreme road conditions. The braking distance for cars equipped with an anti-lock braking system may be longer than for those without it, in the following road con- ditions.
o Driving on rough, gravel or snow- covered roads.
o Driving with tyre chains installed.
o Driving on roads where the road surface is pitted or has differentsurface height.
These roads should be driven at reduced speeds. The safety features of an ABS (ESP) equipped vehicle should not be tested by high speed driving or cornering. This could en- danger the safety of yourself or oth- ers.

BRAKE TRACTION CON- TROL SYSTEM (BTCS)
C300A01O-EAT (Not all models) On slippery road surfaces, the traction control system (TCS) limits the drive wheels from spinning excessively, thushelping the car to accelerate. It alsoprovides sufficient driving force andsteering performance as the car turns at accelerated speeds. SLIP Control Limits the drive wheels from spinning excessively during starting or whilstmaking accelerated turns on slipperyroads to avoid losing the driving force of the front wheels. Driving hints TCS does not actively apply brakes. Be sure to decelerate the car sufficiently
before entering curves.

!
CAUTION:
When the TCS indicator blinks, SLIP control has been activated. It also means that the road is slippery or your car is accelerating excessively. In this situation, release foot pres- sure from the accelerator pedal and maintain moderate speed.!
WARNING:
Traction control is only a driving aid; all normal precautions for driving in inclement weather and on slipperydriving surfaces should be observed. C300B01O-GAT TCS ON Mode In the TCS ON mode, the indicator in the instrument cluster will not be illumi-nated. NOTE:
1) Turn off the engine. Then restart
the engine, and the TCS mode will automatically turn "ON".
2) When the traction control is oper-
ating properly, you can feel a slightpulsation in the vehicle. This is only the effect of brake control and indicates nothing unusual.
3) When the engine starts, a click is heard from the engine compart-ment; however, this is only thesound of traction control being checked.
4) When moving out of the mud or fresh snow, pressing the accelera-tor pedal may not cause the en- gine speed to increase. C300D02O-GAT Indicator and Warning The indicator should illuminate when
the ignition 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 authorisedrepairer. Should there be any unusual conditions in the device, TCS illuminates as a warning. If TCS illuminates, pull your car to asafe place and stop the engine. Then, start the engine again to check if the TCS indicator goes out.If the indicator remains lit even after the engine has been started, have your car checked by an Hyundai authorised re-pairer. NOTE: When TCS illuminates, traction con- trol is automatically deactivated forsafety.
