WARNING: Fuel vapors are dangerous. Before refueling, always stop the engine and never allow sparks or open flames near the filler area.

2- 2 C040A01A-AAT KEY POSITIONS WARNING: The engine should not be turned off or the key removed from the ignition key cylinder while the vehicle is in motion. The steering wheel is locked by removing the key.
o "START" The engine is started in this position. It will crank until you release the key. NOTE: Do not hold the key in the "START" position for more than 15 seconds.
o "ON" When the key is in the "ON" position, the ignition is on and all accessories may be turned on. If the engine is not running, the key should not be left in the "ON" position. This will discharge the battery and may also damage the ignition sys- tem.
C020A01A-AAT BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE Before you start the engine, you should always:
1. Look around the vehicle to be sure there are
no flat tires, puddles of oil, water or other indications of possible trouble.
2. After entering the car, check to be sure the parking brake is engaged.
3. Check that all windows, and lights are clean.
4. Check that the interior and exterior mirrors are clean and in position.
5. Check your seat, seatback and headrest to
be sure they are in their proper positions.
6. Lock all the doors.
7. Fasten your seat belt and be sure that all other occupants have fastened theirs.
8. Turn off all lights and accessories that are not needed.
9. When you turn the ignition switch to "ON", check that all appropriate warning lights areoperating and that you have sufficient fuel.
10. Check the operation of warning lights and all
bulbs when key is in the "ON" position. o To start the engine, insert the ignition key and
turn it to the "START" position. Release it as soon as the engine starts. Do not hold the key in the "START" position for more than 15 seconds.
NOTE: For safety, the engine will not start if the shift lever is not in "P" or "N" Position (Automatic Transmission).
C030A01HP-GAT COMBINATION IGNITION SWITCH To Start the Engine

WARNING: (Diesel only) To ensure that sufficient vacuum exists with- in the brake system during cold weather start-up conditions, it is necessary to run the engine at idle after starting according to the following table.
Ambient temp.

3 min. or longer 6 min. or longer
After starting the engine, do not drive the vehicle until the brake vacuum warning light has turned off. Failure to carry out the above procedure may result in the need to apply greater pedal pressure in order to effect the necessary braking effort. LOCK

o Do not "ride" the brakes. This can cause them
to overheat and malfunction. Instead, when you are driving down a long hill, slow down and shift to a lower gear. When you do this, engine braking will help slow the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear.
Otherwise, the lower gear may not be en- gaged.
o Always use the parking brake. Do not depend on placing the transmission in "P" to keep the car from moving.
o Exercise extreme caution when driving on a
slippery surface. Be especially careful when braking, accelerating or shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an abrupt change in vehicle speed can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle to go out of control.
WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel move- ments, such as sharp lane changes orfast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts.
o The risk of rollover is greatly increased if you lose control of your vehicle at high-way speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or more
wheels drop off the roadway and the driver oversteers to reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the road- way, do not steer sharply. Instead, slow down before pulling back into the travel lanes. C120A02A-AAT ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (If installed) The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed to prevent wheel lock-up during sudden braking or on hazardous road surfaces. The ABS control module monitors the wheel speed and controls the pressure applied to each brake. Thus, in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABS will 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 be heard in the engine compartment while braking. These conditions are normal and indicate that the anti-lock brake system is functioning prop- erly.
D090A01P-GAT 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, mountainous or sandy areas where good traction is required, or when your wheels lose traction using two- wheel drive.
WARNING:ABS will not prevent accidents due to im- proper or dangerous driving maneuvers. Even though vehicle control is improved during emergency braking, always maintain a safe distance between you and objects 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 conditions. During these conditions the ve- hicle should be driven at reduced speeds.
o Rough, gravel or snow-covered roads.
o With tire chains installed.
o Roads where the road surface is pitted or
has different surface height.
The safety features of an ABS equipped ve-hicle should not be tested by high speed driving or cornering. This could endanger the safety of yourself or others.
o In a collision crash, an unbelted person is
significantly more likely to die than a per-son wearing a seatbelt.
o Never exceed posted speed limits.

2- 12 C130A01HP-GAT GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES WARNING: Nothing should be carried on top of the cargo area cover behind the rear seat. If there were an accident or a sudden stop, such objects could move forward and cause damage to the vehicle 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 brakes can be dangerous! Your car will not stop as quickly if the brakes are wet. Wet brakes cause the car to pull to one side. To dry the brakes, apply the brakes lightly until the braking action returns to nor- mal, taking care to keep the car under control at all times. If the braking action does not return to normal, stop as soon as it is safe to do so and call your Hyundai dealer for assis- tance.
o Don’t coast down hills with the car out of gear.
This is extremely hazardous. Keep the car in gear at all times, use the brakes to slow down, then shift to a lower gear so that engine braking will help you maintain a safe speed.
D190A01O-GAT LIMITED-SLIP DIFFERENTIAL (If installed) A limited-slip differential, if equipped, is for the rear wheel differential only. The features of this limited-slip differential are described below: Just as with a conventional differential, the wheel on one side is allowed to turn at a different speed from the wheel on the other side when the vehicle is cornering. The difference between the limited- slip differential and a conventional differential is that if the wheel on one side of the vehicle loses traction, a greater amount of torque is applied to the rear wheel on the other side to improve traction.
WARNING:Keep away from the front of the vehicle while inspecting. This is very dangerous as the vehicle can jump forward and cause serious injury or death.
(9) When using tire chains, always attach them
to the rear wheels.
(10) I f the front or rear wheels get stuck in the
mud, do not spin them recklessly. The 4WD system could be damaged.
CAUTION:
o While the full-time 4WD vehicle is being raised on a jack, never start the engine orcause the tires to rotate. There is the danger that rotating tires touching the ground could cause the ve- hicle to go off the jack and to jump for- ward.
o If one of the front or rear wheels begins to
spin in mud, snow, etc., the vehicle can sometimes be driven out by depressing the accelerator pedal further; however, avoid running the engine continuously at high rpm because doing so could damage the 4WD system. WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel move-
ments, such as sharp lane charges or fast,sharp turns.
o The risk of rollover is greatly increased if you lose control of your vehicle at high- way speeds.
o In a collision crash, an unbelted person is
significantly more likely to die than a per- son wear a seatbelt.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the roadway and the driver oversteers to reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the road-
way, do not steer sharply. Instead, slow down before pulling back into the travel lanes.
