WARNING - Bonnet
Before closing the bonnet, ensure that all obstructions are
removed from the bonnet open-
ing. Closing the bonnet with anobstruction present in the bonnet
opening may result in property
damage or severe personal
injury.
Do not leave gloves, rags or any other combustible material in the
engine compartment. Doing so
may cause a heat-induced fire.WARNING
Always double check to be sure that the bonnet is firmly latched
before driving away. If it is not
latched, the bonnet could fly
open while the vehicle is being
driven, causing a total loss of vis-
ibility, which might result in anaccident.
Do not move the vehicle with the bonnet in the raised position, asvision is obstructed and the bon-
net could fall or be damaged.

WINDSHIELD DEFROSTING AND DEFOGGING
D250000AUN-EA
For maximum defrosting, set the temper- ature control to the extreme right/hot posi-
tion and the fan speed control to the high-est speed.
If warm air to the floor is desired while defrosting or defogging, set the mode tothe floor-defrost position.
Before driving, clear all snow and ice from the windshield, rear window, outside rear
view mirrors, and all side windows.
Clear all snow and ice from the bonnet and air inlet in the cowl grill to improveheater and defroster efficiency and to
reduce the probability of fogging up insideof the windshield. Manual climate control system D250101AFD
To defog inside windshield
1. Select any fan speed except “0” posi-
tion.
2. Select desired temperature.
3. Select the or position.
4. The outside (fresh) air and air condi- tioning will be selected automatically.
If the air-conditioning and outside (fresh) air position are not selected automatical-
ly, press the corresponding button manu-
ally. D250102AFD
To defrost outside windshield
1. Set the fan speed to the highest
(extreme right) position.
2. Set the temperature to the extreme hot position.
3. Select the position.
4. The outside (fresh) air and air condi- tioning will be selected automatically.

WARNING - Windshield
heating
Do not use the or position during cooling operation in
extremely humid weather. The dif-
ference between the temperature ofthe outside air and that of the wind-shield could cause the outer sur-
face of the windshield to fog up,
causing loss of visibility. In this
case, set the mode selection knob
or button to the position and
fan speed control knob or button to
the lower speed.

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
F050000AFD-EA
If your temperature gauge indicates over-
heating, you experience a loss of power,
or hear loud pinging or knocking, the
engine is probably too hot. If this hap-
pens, 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 transaxle) or neutral (manu-
al transaxle) and set the parking brake.
If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If engine coolant is running out under the car or steam is coming out from
the bonnet, stop the engine. Do notopen the bonnet until the coolant has
stopped running or the steaming has
stopped. If there is no visible loss of
engine coolant and no steam, leave
the engine running and check to be
sure the engine cooling fan is operat-
ing. If the fan is not running, turn the
engine off.
4. While engine is switched off, check to see if the water pump drive belt 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 the radiator,
hoses or under the car. (If the air con-
ditioning had been in use, it is normal
for cold water to be draining from it
when you stop). 5. If the water pump drive belt is broken
or engine coolant is leaking out, stop the engine immediately and call the
nearest authorised HYUNDAI dealer
for assistance. 6. If you cannot find the cause of the
overheating, wait until the engine tem-
perature has returned to normal. Then,if coolant has been lost, carefully add
coolant to the reservoir to bring the
fluid level in the reservoir up to the
halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheating. If over-heating happens again, call an autho-
rised HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.
CAUTION
Serious loss of coolant indicates
there is a leak in the cooling systemand this should be checked as soonas possible by an authorisedHYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
While the engine is running, keep
hair, hands and clothing away from
moving parts such as the fan and
drive belts to prevent injury.
WARNING
Do not remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. This can
allow coolant to be blown out of the
opening and cause serious burns.

Maintenance
G020200AFD-EA Owner maintenance precautions
Improper or incomplete service may
result in problems. This section gives
instructions only for the maintenance
items that are easy to perform.
As explained earlier in this section, sev-
eral procedures can be done only by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer with special
tools.
✽✽NOTICE
Improper owner maintenance during the warranty period may affect warran-
ty coverage. For details, read the sepa-
rate Service Passport provided with the
vehicle. If you're unsure about any serv-
icing or maintenance procedure, have itdone by an authorised HYUNDAI deal-
er.
WARNING - Maintenance
work
Performing maintenance work on a vehicle can be dangerous. You
can be seriously injured while
performing some maintenance
procedures. If you lack sufficient
knowledge and experience or the
proper tools and equipment to do
the work, have it done by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
Working under the bonnet with the engine running is dangerous.
It becomes even more dangerous
when you wear jewelry or loose
clothing. These can become
entangled in moving parts and
result in injury. Therefore, if you
must run the engine while work-
ing under the bonnet, make cer-
tain that you remove all jewelry
(especially rings, bracelets,
watches, and necklaces) and all
neckties, scarves, and similar
loose clothing before gettingnear the engine or cooling fans.WARNING - Diesel Engine
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30
seconds after shutting off engine.
High-pressure pump, rail, injectorsand high-pressure pipes are sub-
ject to high pressure even after the
engine stopped. The fuel jet pro-
duced by fuel leaks may cause seri-
ous injury, if it touches the body.
People using pacemakers shouldnot be within 30cm of the ECU orwiring harness within the engine
room while engine is running, since
the high currents in the electronic
engine control system produce
considerable magnetic fields.
