DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 9
o Ensure that the overdrive switch is at the
"ON" position for maximum economy.
o If rapid acceleration is required, fully de- press the accelerator pedal. In this condi- tion, the kickdown mechanism will be oper-ated and the transmission will automaticallydownshift according to the vehicle speed.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (Not all models)
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed
to prevent wheel lock-up during sudden braking or on hazardous road surfaces. The ABS con-trol module monitors the wheel speed and con-trols the pressure applied to each brake. Thus,in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABSwill increase vehicle control during braking.
NOTE: During ABS operation, a slight pulsation
may be felt in the brake pedal when the brakes are applied. Also, a noise may beheard in the engine compartment whilst brak-ing. These conditions are normal and indi-cate that the anti-lock brake system is func-tioning properly. WARNING: ABS will not prevent accidents due to im-
proper or dangerous driving manoeuvres. Even though vehicle control is improvedduring emergency braking, always maintaina safe distance between you and objectsahead. Vehicle speeds should always bereduced during extreme road conditions.
The braking distance for cars equipped with
an anti-lock braking system may be longerthan for those without it in the followingroad conditions.
o Driving on rough, gravel or snow-cov- ered roads.
o Driving with tire chains installed.
o Driving on roads where the road surface is pitted or has different surface height.
These roads should be driven at reduced
speeds. The safety features of an ABS equipped vehicle should not be tested byhigh speed driving or cornering. This couldendanger the safety of yourself or others.

Part-time 4WD operation
1. Knob position
This is used to set different positions.
2H(Rear-wheel drive) When driving on normal roads and highway.
4H(High range 4-wheel drive) When driving off-road, wet or snow-covered
roads with normal speed.
The 4WD engaged indicator light ( ) will be
turned on to remind you that you are in the 4H mode. 4L(Low range 4-wheel drive)
Use "4L" for climbing or descending steep hills,
off-road driving, and vehicle towing.
Especially when increased drive power is re-
quired.
The 4WD LOW indicator light ( ) will be
turned on to remind you that you are in the 4L mode.

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD)
You can send your engine power to all front and
rear wheels for maximum power. 4WD is useful when you drive in snow, mud, ice, mountainousor sandy areas where good traction is required,or when your wheels lose traction using two-wheel drive.

APPEARANCE CARE 4-1
NOTE: The underbody should never be steam
cleaned since the underbody coating may be removed by this process.
During the interim period between power
washing the underbody, the more vulnera-ble areas such as wheelarches should behosed off, particularly during the winter sea-son to prevent prolonged contact of roadsalt with the body.
Ensure that the various drain points located
at bottom of the door panels are kept clear,to prevent water becoming trapped withinthe cavities. Wherever possible, the parkingof the vehicle in a confined, poorly ventilat-ed location (e.g.) garage should be avoidedwhen the vehicle is wet or covered withsnow or ice. Under these conditions, theinternal cavities of the vehicle will remaindamp for long periods of time which en-courage corrosion. Parking the vehicle wheregood ventilation exists is preferable.

VALETING
Regular cleaning of the exterior paintwork serves
two important functions. Firstly, the removal ofabrasive dirt and contaminants will maintain thelustre of the paintwork and will preventdiscolouration and dulling due to prolonged con-tact.
Secondly, the presence of damage through
impact or abrasion will be apparent allowingearly rectification to be made thus preventingcorrosion from becoming established andspreading beneath the paint film. To avoid "wa-ter spotting" the vehicle should not be washedin direct sunlight particularly in the case ofvehicles having dark body colours. The heatfrom the sun rays is absorbed by the paint filmincreasing the surface temperature. This actioncauses water used for washing to evaporatequickly leaving behind the deposits from thewater and the shampoo used.
Use only a shampoo intended for the purpose
and ensure that the body work is thoroughlywetted to soften the dirt film prior to attemptingto remove this.
After removing the dirt film with a soft sponge,
the body work should be thoroughly rinsed andthen dried with a good quality chamois leatherto prevent streaking or spotting of the paintwork. Household detergents, solvents and abrasive
cleaning materials should not be used in orderto avoid damaging the paint film.

APPEARANCE CARE
In using the most advanced design and con-
struction practices, every Hyundai is built to retain its original factory finish for many years.However, long term durability is also greatlydependant upon maintaining the various pro-tection systems and coatings used in manufac-ture since constant exposure to the elementswill eventually result in their breakdown andloss of effectiveness. The following sugges-tions are made to assist in the maintenance ofthe vehicle bodywork.
ZE020B1-E
Underbody Coatings Every Hyundai passenger car receives a full
underbody and cavity injection treatment duringproduction. In order that this treatment mayretain maximum effectiveness, it is recommend-ed that the underbody receives a power washand a thorough inspection after each winterseason. In doing so any accumulations of mud,which act as moisture traps and combine withroad salts to accelerate corrosion, will be re-moved. Should any damage to or deteriorationof the underbody coating be apparent, the ad-vice of a Hyundai dealer regarding the use of acompatible repair material should be sought. ZE020C1-E
Interior During the winter period, it is possible that the
carpet within the passenger compartment maybecome wet. The carpet should not be allowedto remain in this condition for prolonged periodssince the carpet may begin to create mustysmells and promote internal corrosion of thefloorpan.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS 7-1
vehicle may be damaged. You should inspect the exhaust system each time the car is raisedfor lubrication or oil change. To check condition
1. Holes and gas leaks due to corrosion, dam-
age, etc., should be rectified.
2. The joints should be checked for loose con- nections and gas leakage.
3. The hanger rubber and brackets should be checked for damage. DH010B1-E
1. CRANKCASE EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEM ; For a Petrol Engine
The positive crankcase ventilation system is
employed to prevent air pollution caused by blow-by gases being emitted from the crank-case.
This system supplies fresh air to the crankcase
through the air cleaner. Inside the crankcase,the fresh air mixes with blow-by gases, thenpasses through the PCV valve into the intakesystem.
ZH010C1-E
2. EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CON-
TROL SYSTEM ; For a Petrol Engine
The Evaporative Emission Control System is designed to prevent fuel vapors from escapinginto the atmosphere.
Canister While the engine is inoperative, fuel vaporsgenerated inside the fuel tank are absorbed andstored in the canister. When the engine isrunning, the fuel vapors absorbed in the canis-ter are drawn into the induction system throughthe purge control solenoid valve.

EXHAUST GAS WARNING
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a
potentially toxic gas that is colorless and odor-less. Avoid breathing exhaust gases.
o Do not run the engine in confined areas, such as garages, any longer than neces- sary to move the car in or out.
o Do not drive with the trunk open. An open trunk may draw exhaust gases into the pas-senger compartment. If you must drive withthe trunk open, drive only with all the win-dows wide open and the blower motor onhigh speed.
o If it is necessary to sit in a parked car with the engine running for more than a shortperiod, adjust your heating system to forceoutside air into the car by placing the airselector button of the heater in the FRESHAIR position and mode control in the VENTposition. Set the fan at high speed and thecontrols in any position desired.
Inspect the exhaust system Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of
the exhaust system, the underside or rear of the ZH010A1-E EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS (Not all models) Your Hyundai is equipped with an emission control systems. There are three emission control systems which are as follows. (1) Crankcase emission control system (2) Evaporative emission control system(3) Exhaust emission control system In order to assure the proper function of the emission control system, it is recommendedthat you have your car inspected and main-tained by an authorized Hyundai dealer in ac-cordance with the schedule in this manual.
