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 "Recircula- tion (
)" position on the air intake
control switch.
B740C01A-AAT De-Humidified Heating For dehumidified heating:
o Turn on the fan control switch.
o Turn on the air conditioning switch. The air conditioning indicator lightshould come on at the same time.
OCM051040R o Set the air intake control to the fresh
air (
) position.
o Set the air flow control to the face
(
) position.
o Adjust the fan control to the desired speed.
o For more rapid action, set the fan at one of the higher speeds.
o Adjust the temperature control to provide the desired amount of warmth. B740D01Y-AAT Operation Tips
o If the interior of the car is hot when
you first get in, open the windows for a few minutes to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air condition-
ing system, keep all windows closedto keep hot air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy
traffic, shift to a lower gear. Thisincreases engine speed, which in turn increases the speed of the air conditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air condi- tioning off to avoid the possibility ofthe engine overheating.
o During winter months or in periods when the air conditioning is not usedregularly, run the air conditioning onceevery month for a few minutes. This will help circulate the lubricants and keep your system in peak operatingcondition.

GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES
C130A01A-DAT o Don't coast down hills with the car
out of gear. This is extremely haz- ardous. Keep the car in gear at all times, use the brakes to slow down,then shift to a lower gear so thatengine braking will help you maintaina safe speed.
o Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Resting
your foot on the brake pedal whiledriving can be dangerous because itcan result in the brakes overheatingand losing their effectiveness. It alsoincreases the wear of the brake com-ponents.
o If a tyre goes flat while you are driving, apply the brakes gently andkeep the car pointed straight aheadwhile you slow down. When you aremoving slowly enough for it to besafe to do so, pull off the road and stop in a safe place.
o If your car is equipped with an auto-
matic transaxle, don't let your car creep forward. To avoid creepingforward, keep your foot on the brakepedal when the car is stopped.
o Use caution when parking on a hill. Engage the parking brake and placethe gear selector lever in "P" (auto-matic transaxle) or in first or re-
verse gear (manual transaxle).
WARNING:
Nothing should be carried on top ofthe shelf panel behind the rear seat. If there were an accident or a suddenstop, such objects could move for- ward and cause damage to the ve- hicle or injure the occupants.
o After being parked, check to be sure the parking brake is not engaged and that the parking brake indicator light is out before driving away.
o Driving through water may get the brakes wet. They can also get wet when the car is washed. Wet brakescan be dangerous! Your car will not stop as quickly if the brakes are wet. Wet brakes cause the car to pull toone side. To dry the brakes, apply the brakes lightly until the braking action returns to normal, taking careto keep the car under control at all times. If the braking action does not return to normal, stop as soon as it issafe to do so and call your Hyundai dealer for assistance.
1) Pressing the 4WD lock button on
the tough terrain, the driving power is equally distributed to the front and rear. 4WD lock keeps activating when not exceeding 40 km/h.
2) Release the 4WD lock button on the normal driving conditions.

C160J01A-AAT Don't Let Ice and Snow Accumu- late Underneath Under some conditions, snow and ice can build up under the fenders andinterfere with the steering. When driving in severe winter conditions where this may happen, you should periodicallycheck underneath the car to be sure the movement of the front wheels and the steering components are not obstructed. C160K01A-DAT Carry Emergency Equipment Depending on the severity of the weather where you drive your car, you should carry appropriate emergency equip-ment. Some of the items you may want to carry include tyre chains, tow straps or chains, flashlight, emergency flares,sand, a shovel, jumper cables, a win- dow scraper, gloves, ground cloth, cov- eralls, a blanket, etc.HIGHER SPEED MOTORING
C170A01A-DAT Pre-Trip Inspections
1. Tyres: Adjust the tyre inflation pressures tospecification. Low tyre inflation pres- sures will result in overheating and possible failure of the tyres. Avoid us-ing worn or damaged tyres which may result in reduced traction or tyre failure. NOTE: Never exceed the maximum tyre in- flation pressure shown on the tyres.
2. Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil: High speed travel consumes more fuel than urban motoring. Do not forget tocheck both engine coolant and engine oil.
3. Drive belt: A loose or damaged drive belt may result in overheating of the engine.
C160I01A-AAT Don't Let Your Parking Brake Freeze Under some conditions your parking brake can freeze in the engaged posi-tion. This is most likely to happen when there is an accumulation of snow or ice around or near the rear brakes or if thebrakes are wet. If there is a risk the parking brake may freeze, apply it only temporarily while you put the gearselector lever in "P" (automatic) or in first or reverse gear (manual transaxle) and block the rear wheels so the carcannot roll. Then release the parking brake.

CAUTION:
If overheating should occur when towing, (temperature gauge reads near red zone), taking the following action may reduce or eliminate theproblem.
1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Reduce highway speed.
3. Select a lower gear when going uphill.
4. While in stop and go traffic, place the gear selector in park or neu-tral and idle the engine at a higher speed.
!
14. When going down a hill, shift into a
lower gear and use the engine brak- ing effect. When ascending a long grade, downshift the transaxle to a lower gear and reduce speed toreduce chances of engine overload- ing and/or overheating.
15. If you have to stop while going uphill, do not hold the vehicle inplace by pressing on the accelera- tor. This can cause the automatictransaxle to overheat. Use the hand brake or footbrake.
NOTE: When towing, check transaxle fluid more frequently.

!
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
4. Check to see if the water pump drivebelt is missing. If it is not missing, check to see that it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be satisfactory, check for coolant leaking from theradiator, hoses or under the car. (If the air conditioning had been in use, it is normal for cold water to bedraining from it when you stop).
D030A02TB-DAT If your temperature gauge indicates overheating, you experience a loss of power, or hear loud pinging or knocking, the engine is probably too hot. If thishappens to you, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as
it is safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P"
(automatic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the car or steam is coming out from underthe bonnet, stop the engine. Do not open the bonnet until the coolant hasstopped running or the steaming has stopped. If there is no visible loss of coolant and no steam, leave theengine running and check to be sure the engine cooling fan is operating. If the fan is not running, turn the engineoff. WARNING:
While the engine is running, keephands and clothing away from mov-ing parts such as the fan and drive belts to prevent injury.
5. Start the engine in the car with the
discharged battery using the normal starting procedure. After the enginestarts, leave the jumper cables con- nected and let the engine run at fast idle or about 2000 rpm for severalminutes.
6. Carefully remove the jumper cables
in the reverse order of attachment.
If you do not know why your batterybecame discharged (because the lightswere left on, etc.), have the charging system checked by your Hyundai dealer.

!
5. If the water pump drive belt is broken
or coolant is leaking out, stop the engine immediately and call the near- est Hyundai dealer for assistance. WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap whenthe engine is hot. This can allowcoolant to be blown out of the open- ing and cause serious burns.
!WARNING (DIESEL ONLY):
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30 secondsafter shutting off engine. High pres- sure pump, rail, injectors and high pressure pipes are subject to highpressure even after the engine stopped. The fuel jet produced by fuel leaks may cause serious injury,if it touch the body. People using pacemakers should not move than 30cm closer to the ECU or wiringharness within the engine room while engine is running, since the high currents in the Common Rail systemproduce considerable magnetic fields. 6. If you cannot find the cause of the
overheating, wait until the engine temperature has returned to normal. Then, if coolant has been lost, care- fully add coolant to the reservoir(page 6-10) to bring the fluid level in the reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheating. Ifoverheating happens again, call a Hyundai dealer for assistance.
CAUTION:
Serious loss of coolant indicatesthere is a leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundai dealer.

SPARE TYRE
D040A01CM-DAT TEMPORARY SPARE TYRE The following instructions for the tem- porary spare tyre should be observed:
1. Check inflation pressure as soon as possible after installing the spare tyre, and adjust to the specified pres- sure. The tyre pressure should be periodically checked and maintainedat the specified pressure while the tyre is stored.
Spare Tyre Pressure
Tyre Size
Inflation PressureT165/90R17
420 kPa (60 psi)
2. The spare tyre should only be used temporarily and should be returned to the spare tyre carrier as soon as the original tyre can be repaired or replaced.
3. Continuous use at speeds of over 80 km/h (50 mph) is not recommended.
4. As the temporary spare tyre is spe-
cifically designed for your car, it should not be used on any other vehicle.

CHECKING THE ENGINE COOLANT
G050A01CM-DAT
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. When the engineis hot, the engine coolant is under pressure and may erupt through the opening if the cap is removed. Youcould be seriously burned if you do not observe this precaution. Do not remove the radiator cap until theradiator is cool to touch.
WARNING:
Used motor oil may cause irritation or cancer of the skin if left in contact with the skin for prolonged periods of time. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water as soon as possible after handling used oil.
CAUTION:
Slowly pour the recommended oil
using by a funnel. Do not overfill not to damage engine.
!
WARNING:
Be very careful not to touch the radiator hose when adding the en- gine oil as it may be hot enough toburn you.
! CAUTION:
o Engine coolant can damage the finish of your car. If you spill engine coolant on the car, wash it off thoroughly with clean water.
o The engine in your vehicle has aluminum engine parts and must be protected by an ethylene-gly-col base coolant to prevent corro- sion and freezing. And, do not use the hard (tap) water. The hard water can cause engine damage from corrosion, overheating or freezing.
1. Remove the oil filler cap by turning
it counterclockwise.
2. Add oil, then check the level again. Do not overfill.
3. Replace the cap by turning it clock- wise.
NOTE: It is recommended that the engine
oil and oil filter should be changed by an authorised Hyundai dealer.
