B290A01A-AATENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. The engine coolant is under
pressure and could erupt and cause severe
burns. Wait until the engine is cool before
adding coolant to the reservoir.
The needle on the engine coolant temperature
gauge should stay in the normal range. If it moves
across the dial to "H" (Hot), pull over and stop as
soon as possible and turn off the engine. Then
open the hood and, after the engine has cooled,
check the coolant reservoir level and the water
pump drive belt. If you suspect cooling system
trouble, have your cooling system checked by a
Hyundai dealer as soon as possible.
B290A01O
B330A01Y-AATTACHOMETER
The tachometer registers the speed of your
engine in revolutions per minute (rpm). It is
useful to help you shift at the appropriate engine
speed to avoid lugging or over-revving the
engine.
CAUTION:The engine should not be raced to such a
speed that the needle enters the red zone
on the tachometer face. This can cause
severe engine damage and may void your
warranty.

B300A01A-AATSPEEDOMETER
Your Hyundai's speedometer is calibrated in
miles per hour (on the outer scale) and kilome-
ters per hour (on the inner scale).

position. The vents are closed when the vent
knob is moved to " ". Keep these vents clear
of any obstructions.
B710C01O-AATSIDE VENTILATOR
The side ventilators are located on each side of
the front door. To change the direction of the air
flow, move the knob in the center of the vent up-
and-down and side-to-side. The side vent knobs
control the amount of outside air entering the
vehicle through the side vents. The vents are
opened when the vent knob is moved to " "
position. The vents are closed when the vent
knob is moved to " ". Keep these vents clear
of any obstructions.

o To keep dust or unpleasant fumes from
entering the car through the ventilation sys-
tem, temporarily set the air intake control
switch to the position. Be sure to return
the control switch to the position when
the irritation has passed to keep fresh air in
the vehicle. This will help keep the driver alert
and comfortable.
o Air for the heating/cooling system is drawn
in through the grilles just ahead of the wind-
shield. Care should be taken that these are
not blocked by leaves, snow, ice or other
obstructions.
o To prevent interior fog on the windshield, set
the air intake control switch to the fresh air
( ) position and fan speed to the desired
position.
o Adjust the fan control to the desired speed.
For greater cooling, turn the fan control to
one of the higher speeds or temporarily
select the recirculate ( ) position on the
air intake control switch.
B740C02O-AATDe-Humidified Heating

The fan speed can be set to the desired speed
by pressing the appropriate fan speed control
button. The higher the fan speed is, the more air
is delivered. Pressing the "OFF" button turns off
the fan.
B670C02S-AATAir Intake Control SwitchWith the "Recirculation" mode selected, air from
within the passenger compartment will be drawn
through the heating system and heated or
cooled according to the function selected.
NOTE:o It should be noted that prolonged opera-
tion of the heating system in "recircula-
tion" mode will give rise to fogging of the
windshield and side windows and the air
within the passenger compartment will
become stale. In addition, prolonged
use of the air conditioning with the "Re-
circulation" mode selected may result in
the air within the passenger compart-
ment becoming excessively dry.
o When the ignition switch is turned "ON"
the air intake control will change to
"FRESH" mode (regardless of switch
position). This is normal operation. The
air intake control operates in "AUTO"
mode when turning the ignition to the
"ON" position if the "AUTO" mode was
used before shutting off the engine. This is used to select fresh outside air or
recirculation inside air.
To change the air intake control mode, (Fresh
mode, Recirculation mode) push the control
button.
FRESH MODE ( ) : The indicator light on the
button goes off when the air intake control is
fresh mode.
RECIRCULATION MODE ( ) : The indicator
light on the button is illuminated when the air
intake control is recirculation mode.
With the "Fresh" mode selected, air enters the
vehicle from the outside and is heated or cooled
according to the function selected.

2- 18 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
C160J01A-AATDon't Let Ice and Snow Accumulate
Underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice can build
up under the fenders and interfere with the
steering. When driving in severe winter condi-
tions where this may happen, you should peri-
odically check underneath the car to be sure the
movement of the front wheels and the steering
components is not obstructed.
C160I01A-AATDon't Let Your Parking Brake Freeze
Under some conditions your parking brake can
freeze in the engaged position. This is most
likely to happen when there is an accumulation
of snow or ice around or near the rear brakes
or if the brakes are wet. If there is a risk the
parking brake may freeze, apply it only tempo-
rarily while you put the gear selector lever in "P"
(automatic) or in first or reverse gear (manual
transaxle) and block the rear wheels so the car
cannot roll. Then release the parking brake.
C160H01A-AATUse Approved Anti-Freeze in Window
Washer System
To keep the water in the window washer system
from freezing, add an approved anti-freeze
solution in accordance with instructions on the
container. Window washer anti-freeze is avail-
able from Hyundai dealers and most auto parts
outlets. Do not use engine coolant or other types
of anti-freeze as these may damage the finish.
C160G01A-AATTo Keep Locks from Freezing
To keep the locks from freezing, squirt an
approved de-icer fluid or glycerine into the key
opening. If a lock is covered with ice, squirt it with
an approved de-icing fluid to remove the ice. If
the lock is frozen internally, you may be able to
thaw it out by using a heated key. Handle the
heated key with care to avoid burning the
fingers.
C160F01A-AAT
Check Spark Plugs and Ignition
System
Inspect your spark plugs as described in Sec-
tion 6 and replace them if necessary. Also
check all ignition wiring and components to be
sure they are not cracked, worn or damaged in
any way.
C160D01A-AATCheck Battery and Cables
Winter puts additional burdens on the battery
system. Visually inspect the battery and cables
as described in Section 6. The level of charge
in your battery can be checked by your Hyundai
dealer or a service station.
C160E01A-AAT
Change to "Winter Weight" Oil if
Necessary
In some climates it is recommended that a lower
viscosity "winter weight" oil be used during cold
weather. See Section 9 for recommendations.
If you aren't sure what weight oil you should use,
consult your Hyundai dealer.
C160C01A-AATUse High Quality Ethylene Glycol
Coolant
Your Hyundai is delivered with high quality
ethylene glycol coolant in the cooling system. It
is the only type of coolant that should be used
because it helps prevent corrosion in the cool-
ing system, lubricates the water pump and
prevents freezing. Be sure to replace or replen-
ish your coolant in accordance with the main-
tenance schedule in Section 5. Before winter,
have your coolant tested to assure that its
freezing point is sufficient for the temperatures
anticipated during the winter.
