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.

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.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
3-2
CAUTION:
Personal injury and damage to the vehicle
may occur if jump starting is not performed correctly. If any doubt exists as to how thisoperation should be performed, seek assis-tance from qualified personnel. WARNING:
Motor vehicle batteries contain sulphuric
acid and emit hydrogen gas. Protective cloth- ing should be worn and care exercised toprevent the acid from coming into contactwith skin or clothing and the vehicle. Nakedlights should not be permitted in the vicinityof the battery. Care should be exercised toprevent sparks occurring during connec-tion. If acid accidentally comes into contactwith skin or eyes, the affected area shouldimmediately be flushed with copious CAUTION: If the jump cable is incorrectly installed, damage to the vehicle electrical system mayoccur, in particular the electronic compo-nents such as the Fuel Injection system
computer and the Automatic Transmissioncomputer. The battery must never be dis-connected whilst the engine is running.
SD030A1-E JUMP STARTING
amounts of water and medical assistance sought.
1. Ensure that the booster battery is 12 volt type. If the booster battery is installed inanother vehicle, ensure that the two vehi-cles are not touching.
2. Turn off all unnecessary electrical equip- ment in both vehicles.
3. Ensure that the engine of the vehicle provid- ing the jump start is running prior to connec-tion of the jump cables.
4. Connect the red jump cable to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery and theother end to the positive (+) terminal of thedis-charged battery.
5. Attach the black jump cable to the negative (-) terminal of the booster battery, and theother end to a ground point within the enginecompartment of the vehicle with the flat bat-tery. Do not connect to the negative batteryterminal of the flat battery since sparks maybe generated with the subsequent risk ofexplosion.
6. Raise the booster vehicle engine speed to 2,000 r.p.m. and start the engine of thevehicle with the flat battery.
7. Switch "ON" the main beam headlamps before carefully removing the jumper cablesin the reverse order of attachment. Oncethe jumper cables have been removed,switch "OFF" the main beam headlamps. HPD040A2-E IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS If the temperature gauge indicates overheating:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is
safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P" (auto- matic), or neutral (manual transmission) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioningis on, turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the car or steam is coming out from under the bonnetstop the engine. Do not open the bonnetuntil the coolant has stopped running or thesteaming has stopped. If there is no visibleloss of coolant and no steam, leave theengine running and check to be sure theengine cooling fan is operating. If the fan is not running, turn the engine off.
4. 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 besatisfactory, check for coolant leaking fromthe radiator, hoses or under the car. (If theair conditioning had been in use, it is normalfor cold water to be draining from it).

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
5- 6
F060B01A-AAT
o Drive belts Inspect all drive belts for evidence of cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil and replace ifnecessary. Drive belts should be checkedperiodically for proper tension and adjusted asnecessary. F060C01A-AAT
o Fuel filter A clogged filter can limit the speed at which the vehicle may be driven, damage the emissionsystem and cause hard starting. If an exces-sive amount of foreign matter accumulates inthe fuel tank, the filter may require replace-ment more frequently. After installing a new filter, run the engine for several minutes, and check for leaks at theconnections. Fuel filters should be installed bytrained technicians.
F060M01A-AAT o Engine oil and filterThe engine oil and filter should be changed at the intervals specified in the maintenanceschedule. If the car is being driven in severeconditions, more frequent oil and filter changesare required.
F060D01TB-AAT
o Fuel lines, fuel hoses and connec-
tions
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and connec-tions for leakage and damage. Have a trainedtechnician replace any damaged or leakingparts immediately.
WARNING (Diesel only): Never work on injection system with en-gine running or within 30 seconds aftershutting off engine. High pressure pump,rail, injectors and high pressure pipes aresubject to high pressure even after theengine stopped. The fuel jet produced byfuel leaks may cause serious injury, if ittouch the body. People using pacemak-ers should not move than 30cm closer tothe ECU or wiring harness within theengine room while engine is running,since the high currents in the CommonRail system produce considerable mag-netic fields. F060E01A-AAT
o Timing beltInspect all parts related to the timing belt for damage and deformation. Replace any dam-aged parts immediately. F060G01A-EAT
o Vapour hose and fuel filler cap The vapour hose and fuel filler cap should be inspected at those intervals specified in themaintenance schedule. Make sure that a newvapour hose or fuel filler cap is correctlyreplaced.
F060F01A-AAT
o Vacuum, crankcase
ventilation hoses
Inspect the surface of hoses for evidence of
heat and/or mechanical damage. Hard andbrittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions,and excessive swelling indicate deterioration.Particular attention should be paid to examinethose hose surfaces nearest to high heatsources, such as the exhaust manifold.
Inspect the hose routing to assure that the
hoses do not come in contact with any heatsource, sharp edges or moving componentwhich might cause heat damage or mechani-cal wear. Inspect all hose connections, suchas clamps and couplings, to make sure theyare secure, and that no leaks are present.Hoses should be replaced immediately if thereis any evidence of deterioration or damage.

EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS

OWNER MAINTENANCE 6-19
The power steering fluid level should be checked
regularly.
To check the power steering fluid level, be sure
the ignition is "OFF", then check to make cer- tain that the power steering fluid level is be-tween the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings onthe fluid reservoir.
YG220A1-E
POWER STEERING HOSES
It is suggested that you check the power steer-
ing hose connections for fluid leakage at thoseintervals specified in the vehicle maintenanceschedule in Section 5. The power steering hosesshould be replaced if there are severe surfacecracking, pulling, scuffing or worn spots. Dete-rioration of the hoses could cause prematurefailure.
NOTE: The power steering pump may be noisy
when the engine is first started in the ex- treme cold (-4°F). This noise is not abnormaland will stop as the engine warms up. If thepower steering pump continues to be noisyafter the engine has warmed up, have itinspected by your Authorized HyundaiDealer. G230A03A-EAT POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL

BLEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM (FOR DIESEL ENGINE)
The fuel system should be bled to remove air as
described in the illustration if the fuel supply is exhausted during travel, when the fuel filter isreplaced, or if the vehicle is not used for a longtime.
G350A01HP
NOTE: Do not check whilst the engine is running.
Do not start when power steering fluid res- ervoir is empty. Fluid Recommendation
Only automatic transmission fluid meeting the
specification of PSF-3 or ATF DEXRON 2 should be used in the power steering system.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
7-2
Purge Control Solenoid Valve
The purge control solenoid valve is controlled
by the ECU; when the engine coolant tempera- ture is low, and during idling, it closes, so thatevaporated fuel is not taken into the surge tank.After engine warm-up, during ordinary driving, itopens to introduce evaporated fuel to the surgetank. misfire and result in excessive loading of thecatalytic converter.
o Avoid idling the engine for periods longer than 10 minutes.
o Your Hyundai should not be either pushed or pulled to get it started. This can cause thecatalytic converter to overload.
o Take care not to stop your Hyundai over any combustible material such as grass, paper,leaves or rags.
o Do not touch the catalytic converter or any other part of the exhaust system while theengine is running.
o Remember that your Hyundai dealer is your best source of assistance.

3. EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEM
EGR system ; For a Petrol Engine This system helps control oxides of nitrogen byrecirculating a portion of the exhaust gases intothe intake manifold, thereby reducing cylindercombustion temperatures. YH040A2-E
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
; For a Petrol Engine The catalytic converter is part of the exhaust emission control system. Its purpose is to re-move certain engine emission products fromthe engine's exhaust. It looks something like amuffler and is located underneath the car in theexhaust system. YH040B1-E
About the Catalytic Converter ; For a Petrol Engine
Exhaust gases passing through the catalytic converter cause it to operate at very high tem-peratures. As a result, the introduction of largeamounts of unburned petrol may cause it tooverheat and create a fire hazard. This can beavoided by observing the following:
o Use only unleaded fuel.
o Maintain your engine in good condition. Ex- tremely high converter temperatures can re- sult from improper operation of the electri-cal, ignition or M.P.I. system.
o If your engine stalls, pings, knocks, or is hard to start, take your car to your Hyundaidealer as soon as possible and have thedifficulty corrected.
o Avoid driving with a very low fuel level. If you run out of petrol, it could cause the engine to H020D01S-GAT CATALYTIC CONVERTER ; For a Diesel Engine All Hyundai vehicles are equipped with oxida- tion type catalytic converter to reduce the car-bon monoxide, hydrocarbons and particulatecontained in the exhaust gas. H020C01HP-EAT EGR SYSTEM ; For a Diesel Engine This system helps control oxides of nitrogen by recirculating a part of the exhaust gas into theengine, there by reducing cylinder combustiontemperature. The EGR system helps reduce Nox (Oxides of Nitrogen) emission gasses.
