NOTE:
At present, this seat is the only one comply-
ing with that provision. In case that other manufacturers will furnish proof of a re-spective certification, Hyundai is going toevaluate this seat carefully and will give arecommendation provided that seat com-plies to the law. Please ask your Hyundaidealer in this respect.
On each side of the rear seat, between the
cushion and backrest, are located a pair ofISOFIX anchorage points together with a toptether mounting on the luggage compartment.During the installing, the seat has to be en-gaged at the anchorage-points in a way youcan hear it clicking (check by pulling!) and hasto be fixed with the Top Tether-belt on thebelonging point in the luggage-compartment.The installing and the use of a child-seat has tobe done according to the installing-manual,which is added to the ISOFIX-seat.
B230D02HP-E
NOTE: An ISOFIX-child-seat can only be installed ifthe seat has a vehicle-specific approval ac-cording to ECE-R44. Before using the ISOFIX-child-seat, which was bought for another car,ask your Hyundai-dealer whether this seat-type is approved and recommended for yourHyundai. To secure the child restraint seat 1. To engage the child restraint seat to the ISOFIX anchor, insert the child restraint seat latch into the ISOFIX anchor. Listen forthe audible "click" sound.
2. Connect the tether strap hook to the child restraint hook holder and tighten to securethe seat. Refer to "Securing a Child Re-straint System with the Tether AnchorageSystem" on page 1-22. WARNING:
o Do not install a child restraint seat at the
centre of the rear seat using the vehicle's ISOFIX anchors. The ISOFIX anchors areonly provided for the left and right out-board rear seating positions. Do not mis-use the ISOFIX anchors by attempting toattach a child restraint seat in the middleof the rear seat to the ISOFIX anchors. Ina crash, the child restraint seat ISOFIXattachments may not be strong enoughto secure the child restraint seat properlyin the centre of the rear seat and maybreak, causing serious injury or death.
o Do not mount more than one child re- straint to a child restraint lower anchor-age point. The improper increased load may cause the anchorage points or tether anchor to break, causing serious injuryor death.
o Attach the ISOFIX or ISOFIX-compatible child restraint seat only to the appropri-ate locations shown in the illustration.
o Always follow the installation and use instructions provided by the manufac-turer of the child restraint.

1- 74 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 conditioning system, keep all windows closed to keephot air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy traffic, shift to a lower gear. This increases enginespeed, which in turn increases the speed ofthe air conditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air conditioning off to avoid the possibility of the engine over-heating.
o During winter months or in periods when the air conditioning is not used regularly, run theair conditioning once every month for a fewminutes. This will help circulate the lubri-cants and keep your system in peak operat-ing condition.

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.
C120A02A-EAT
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.

Four-wheel driving on dry paved roads for a
long period will increase the fuel consump-tion with possible noise generation and ear-ly tyre wear. In addition, axle gear oil tem-perature increases with possible driving sys-tem part wear. D090E01HP-EAT
Driving Four-wheel drive safely
o The driving posture should be more upright; adjust the seat to a good position for easy steering and pedal operation.
o Be sure to wear the seat belt.
o Drive carefully when off the road and avoid dangerous areas.
o 4WD has higher ground clearance and a narrower track to make them capable of performing in a wide variety of off roadapplications. Specific design characteristicsgive them a higher centre of gravity thanordinary cars. An advantage of the higherground clearance is a better view of the roadallowing you to anticipate problems. Theyare not designed for cornering at the samespeeds as conventional 2-wheel drive vehi-cles any more than low-slung sports carsare designed to perform satisfactorily underoff-road conditions. If at all possible, avoidsharp turns or abrupt maneuvers. As withother vehicles of this type, failure to operatethis vehicle correctly may result in loss ofcontrol or vehicle rollover.
o Do not grip the inside or spokes of the steering wheel when driving off-road. Thesteering wheel could jerk and injure yourhands. Always firmly hold the outer steeringwheel when you are driving off-road.
o Drive at lower speeds in strong crosswinds. Because of your vehicle’s high centre ofgravity, its stability will be affected in cross-winds. Slower speeds ensure better vehiclecontrol.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 11
o Check your brake condition once you areout of mud or water. Press the brake several times as you move slowly until your feelnormal braking forces return.
o Four-wheel driving on flat and normal roads can result in a severe binding conditionwhen turning the steering wheel.
Driving on dry paved road and high- way Select the 2H(2WD) to drive on dry paved roads. Especially on dry highway, never selectthe 4H or 4L(4WD).
Driving on snowy or icy roads Select the 4H or 4L in accordance with the roadconditions, and then gradually depress the ac-celerator pedal for a smooth start.
Driving on sandy or muddy roads Select the 4H or 4L and then gradually depressthe accelerator pedal for a smooth start. Keepthe pressure on the accelerator pedal constantas possible, and drive at low speed.
Climbing sharp grades Select the 4L to maximize use the engine torque.
Descending sharp grades Select the 4L, use the engine brake and de-scend slowly. Driving in Water
Select the 4L mode and drive through slowly. The maximum advisable wading depth is ap- proximately 40cm.Before driving through water, such as whencrossing shallow streams, first check the depthof the water and the bottom of the river bed forfirmness. Drive slowly at the speed of 3mph(5 km/h) and avoid deep water. Take all necessary safety measures to ensure that water damage to the engine or other ve-hicle parts does not occur. Water entering the engine air intake will cause severe engine damage. Water can wash the grease from wheel bear- ings, causing rusting and premature failure, andmay also enter the axles, transmission andtransfer case, reducing the gear oil's lubricatingqualities.C355A02HP-EAT

2- 12 Driving 4WD Safely
(1) Be sure to wear the seat belt.
(2) Drive at lower speeds in strong crosswinds.
Because of your vehicle's high centre of gravity, its stability will be affected in cross-winds. Slower speeds ensure better vehiclecontrol.
(3) Check the brake condition after driving in wet or muddy conditions. Press the brakeseveral times as you move slowly until youfeel normal braking forces return.
(4) Do not drive the vehicle through water. (i.e. streams, rivers, lakes, etc.)
(5) The stopping distance of the full-time 4WD vehicle differs very little from that of the2WD vehicle.
When driving on a snow-covered road or a slippery, muddy surface, make sure thatyou keep a sufficient distance between yourvehicle and the one ahead of you.
(6) Since the driving torque is always applied to the 4 wheels, the performance of the full-time 4WD vehicle is greatly affected by thecondition of the tyres. Be sure to equip itwith all four tyres of the same size and type.o When replacement of any of the tyres or disc wheels is necessary, replace all ofthem.
o Rotate the tyres and check the tyre pres- sure at regular intervals.
(7) The full-time 4WD vehicle cannot be towed by an ordinary tow truck. Makesure that the vehicle is towed with itsfour wheels raised off the ground. o If the vehicle is towed with its only two
wheels raised off the ground, the 4WDsystem could be damaged.
o In unavoidable case, if the vehicle is being towed with all four wheels on theground, it should be towed only forwarddirection with rope.
o Whilst towing, check the following items.
1. The ignition switch is in "ACC" or"ON".
2. Place the shift lever in neutral (For Automatic Transmission, "N" posi-tion).
3. Release the parking brake.
NOTE: To avoid serious damage to your 4WD ve- hicle, limit towing to 10 mph (15km/h) andnot for more than 1 mile (1.5km) at ANYTIME.

WINTER MOTORING The onset of winter conditions subject motor
vehicles to greater operating demands. There- fore, the following suggestions will assist inmaintaining peak performance and reliabilityduring these periods:
C140A01A-EAT
DRIVING FOR ECONOMY
You can save fuel and get more miles from your
car if you follow these suggestions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate rate. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts or full- throttle shifts and maintain a steady cruisingspeed. Don't race between stoplights. Try toadjust your speed to that of the other trafficso you don't have to change speeds unnec-essarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos-sible. Always maintain a safe distance fromother vehicles so you can avoid unneces-sary braking. This also reduces brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your car uses. Driving ata moderate speed, especially on the high-way, is one of the most effective ways toreduce fuel consumption.
o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. This can increase fuel consumption and alsoincrease wear on these components. In ad-dition, driving with your foot resting on thebrake pedal may cause the brakes to over-heat, which reduces their effectiveness andmay lead to more serious consequences.
o Take care of your tyres. Keep them inflated to the recommended pressure. Incorrect in-flation, either too much or too little, results inunnecessary tyre wear. Check the tyre pres-sures at least once a month. o Be sure that the wheels are aligned correct-
ly. Improper alignment can result from hittingcurbs or driving too fast over irregular sur-faces. Poor alignment causes faster tyrewear and may also result in other problemsas well as greater fuel consumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For better fuel economy and reduced maintenancecosts, maintain your car in accordance withthe maintenance schedule in Section 5. Ifyou drive your car in severe conditions,more frequent maintenance is required (seeSection 5 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum service, your Hyundai should be kept clean and freeof corrosive materials. It is especially impor-tant that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed toaccumulate on the underside of the car. Thisextra weight can result in increased fuelconsumption and also contribute to corro-sion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary weight in your car. Weight reduces fuel economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than neces- sary. If you are waiting (and not in traffic),turn off your engine and restart only whenyou're ready to go.
o Remember, your Hyundai does not require extended warm-up. As soon as the engineis running smoothly, you can drive away. Invery cold weather, however, give your en-gine a slightly longer warm-up period. o Don't "labour" or "over-rev" the engine.
Labouring is driving too slowly in too high agear resulting in the vehicle kangarooing. Ifthis happens, shift to a lower gear. Over-revving is racing the engine beyond its safelimit. This can be avoided by shifting at therecommended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air conditioning system is operated by enginepower so your fuel economy is reducedwhen you use it.
C150A01A-EAT SMOOTH CORNERINGAvoid braking or gear changing in corners, especially when roads are wet. Ideally, cornersshould always be taken under gentle accelera-tion. If you follow these suggestions, tyre wearwill be held to a minimum.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 19
CAUTION: If overheating should occur when towing,
(temperature gauge reads near red zone), taking the following action may reduce oreliminate the problem.
1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Reduce highway speed.
3. Select a lower gear when going uphill.
4. Whilst in stop and go traffic, place the gear selector in park or neutral and idle the engine at a higher speed.
HPC200E1-E
Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check towbar and safety cable connections as well as proper operation of the trailer running lights, brake lights, andturn signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a moderate speed (Less than 60 mph)
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than nor- mal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking efficiency and electrical charging performance, do not usefifth gear (manual transmission).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift whilst driving.
6. Check the condition and air pressure of all tyres on the trailer and your car. Low tyrepressure can seriously affect the handling.Also check the spare tyre.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more af- fected by crosswind and buffeting. When being passed by a large vehicle, keep a constant speed and steer straight ahead.If there is too much wind buffeting slowdown to get out of the other vehicle's airturbulence.
8. When parking your car and trailer, especial- ly on a hill, be sure to follow all the normalprecautions. Turn your front wheel into thecurb, set the parking brake firmly, and putthe transmission in 1st or Reverse (manual)or Park (automatic). In addition, place wheelchocks at each of the trailer's tyres. 9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your
vehicle and trailer moving, and then applythe trailer brake controller by hand to besure the brakes are working. This lets youcheck your electrical connection at the sametime.
10. During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure, and that thelights and any trailer brakes are still working.
11. Avoid jerky starts, sudden acceleration or sudden stops.
12. Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.
13. Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat, resulting in reduced brakingefficiency.
14. When going down a hill, shift into a lower gear and use the engine braking effect. When ascending a long grade, downshift the transmission to a lower gear and reducespeed to reduce chances of engine over-loading and/or overheating.
15. If you have to stop whilst going uphill, do not hold the vehicle in place by pressing on theaccelerator. This can cause the automatictransmission to overheat. Use the parkingbrake or footbrake.
NOTE: When towing, check transmission fluid more
frequently.
