1- 82 B750B02Y-AAT Using a cellular phone or a two-way radio When a cellular phone is used inside the ve- hicle, noise may be produced from the audioequipment. This does not mean that somethingis wrong with the audio equipment. In such acase, use the cellular phone at a place as far aspossible from the audio equipment. CAUTION: When using a communication system sucha cellular phone or a radio set inside thevehicle, a separate external antenna mustbe fitted. When a cellular phone or a radioset is used with an internal antenna alone, itmay interfere with the vehicle's electricalsystem and adversely affect safe operationof the vehicle. WARNING: Don't use a cellular phone when you aredriving, you must stop at a safe place to usea cellular phone.
SSAR014A
o Station Swapping - As a FM signal weakens, another more powerful signal near the same frequency may begin to play. This is becauseyour radio is designed to lock onto the clearestsignal. If this occurs, select another stationwith a stronger signal.
o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals being received from several directions can causedistortion or fluttering. This can be caused bya direct and a reflected signal from the samestation, or by signals from two stations withclose frequencies. If this occurs, select anoth-er station until the condition has passed.SSAR013A
o Fading - As your car moves away from the radio station, the signal will weaken and sound will begin to fade. When this occurs, wesuggest that you select another stronger sta-tion.
o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large obstructions between the transmitter and yourradio can disturb the signal causing static orfluttering noises to occur. Reducing the treblelevel may lessen this effect until the distur-bance clears.

C010A01O-EAT WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust gases are potentially lethal. If at any time engine exhaust gas is detected within the passenger compartment, move the vehicle to an open area and open all windows. o Never inhale exhaust gas. Exhaust gases contain Carbon Monoxide which is colourless and odourless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous and can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation. o Exhaust System Maintenance. Ensure that the exhaust system is maintained in good condition and is free from excessive corrosion and damage which may result in leakage. If the vehicle is driven over an object which strikes the exhaust system, ensure that the exhaustsystem is inspected at the first available opportunity to ensure that no leakage exists. o Confined Areas. Do not run the engine in confined spaces, allowing the engine to idle in a garage, even when the doors are open is dangerous practice. Only start the engine immediately prior to moving the vehicle out of the garage. o Prolonged Idling. If it is necessary to allow the vehicle to idle for prolonged periods, ensure that the heating system air intake control is set to the "Fresh" position, the blower is set to high speed operation and that the vehicle is standing in an open area. o Load Carrying. If it is necessary to carry long objects which do not permit the hatchback door to be fully closed, the side windows must remain closed and the heating air intake control set to the "Fresh" position with the blower running at the highest speedsetting. To ensure correct operation of the heater system, the air intake grilles at the base of the windscreen must not be obstructed by snow leaves etc..

FUEL ECONOMY
The following suggestions are made to assist in
achieving the greatest degree of fuel economy.
o Maintaining a constant check on fuel con- sumption will enable the most economical use pattern and driving style to be adopted.
o Avoid using the vehicle for very short jour- neys if possible, particularly when a coldstart is involved.
o Ensure that tyre pressures are maintained at the correct level.
o Use only the recommended grade of fuel.
o Avoid carrying unnecessary weight, and if a roof rack is in use, remove it as soon as possible after use.
o Anticipate the road and conditions ahead to enable adjustments in speed to be madesmoothly. Avoid heavy acceleration andsharp braking.
o Avoid cruising at unnecessary high speeds.
o Always ensure that the periodic maintenance services are performed by a Hyundai dealer at the time and/or mileage intervals speci-fied.
o Use the air conditioner only when neces- sary. HPC090A2-E MANUAL TRANSMISSION
The five speed fully synchronized transmission
is controlled by a floor mounted shift lever upon which the shift pattern is indicated. It is impor-tant that when changing gear, the clutch pedalis fully depressed to avoid transmission dam-age. CAUTION:
o Do not attempt to engage reverse gear when the car is in motion.
o To avoid damaging the selector mecha- nism, do not use the gear shift lever as a hand rest. Release the lever immediatelythe shift is completed.
o To avoid premature clutch wear, do not use the clutch pedal as a foot rest, anddo not hold the vehicle on a gradientusing the clutch.

HPC120D1-E General Operating Instructions
o The button in the selector handle must be depressed before the selector can be moved.
o The engine may only be started when the selector is at position "P" or "N".
o Ensure that the footbrake is firmly applied when shifting from "P" or "N" to "D", "2" or "L" and vice versa.
o Always engage the parking brake when the vehicle is unattended, never use the "P"position in place of the parking brake.
o Under normal circumstances, the selector should be placed in the "D" position and thetransmission allowed to select the most idealratio for the circumstances. In this positionmaximum fuel economy will be achieved.
o When descending steep gradients where engine braking is required, the selectorshould be placed at the "2" or "L" positiondepending upon the vehicle speed.
o When ascending steep gradients and using large throttle openings, the transmission mayrepeatedly change between two adjacentratios. This is a normal characteristic andmay be prevented by selecting "2" or "L"depending upon the vehicle speed.
o Never move the selector to or from the "P" or "N" position with the accelerator de-pressed.
o Only with the brake pedal fully depressed, the shift lever is shifted from "P" (parking)position to other position. (Not all models)
C090I01E-EAT
CAUTION:
o Shift into "R" and "P" only when the vehicle has completely stopped.
o Do not accelerate the engine in reverse or any of the forward positions with the brakes applied.
o Always apply the footbrake when shift- ing from "P" or "N", to "R", "D", "2" or"L" position.
o Do not use the "P" (Park) position in place of the parking brake. Always setthe parking brake, shift the transmissioninto "P" (Park) and turn off the ignitionwhen you leave the vehicle, even mo-mentarily. Never leave the vehicle unat-tended whilst the engine is running.
o Check the automatic transmission fluid level regularly, and add fluid as neces-sary. SC130A1-E OVERDRIVE SWITCH
The overdrive switch prevents the transmission upshifting higher than third gear when the switchis turned "OFF". The transmission will startfrom rest in first gear and upshift to second andthird gear depending upon the roadspeed andthrottle opening but will not upshift to fourthgear. When the overdrive switch is turned "ON",the transmission will start from rest in first gearand will upshift, depending upon roadspeed andthrottle opening to second, third and fourthgear. Therefore, when the overdrive switch isturned "OFF", the transmission performs as athree speed unit and the overdrive warning lightlocated in the instrument cluster will be illumi-nated. When the overdrive switch is turned"ON", the transmission functions as a fullyautomatic four speed unit with the maximumfuel economy potential of the vehicle beingrealized.

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 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.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 13
Driving on dry paved road and high- way
Select the AUTO to drive on dry paved roads.
Especially on dry highway, never select the LOW. Driving on snowy or icy roads
Select the AUTO or LOW in accordance with
the road conditions, and then gradually depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start. Driving on sandy or muddy roads
Select the LOW and then gradually depress the
accelerator pedal for a smooth start. Keep the pressure on the accelerator pedal constant aspossible, and drive at low speed. Climbing sharp grades
Select the LOW to maximize use the engine
torque.Descending sharp grades
Select the LOW, use the engine brake and
descend slowly.
(8) For speedometer test or inspection/mainte-
nance (I/M) program of full-time 4WD ve- hicle, use a four-wheel chassis dynamom-eter.
CAUTION: Never engage the parking brake whilst per-
forming these tests.
o In rare cases when it's unavoidable that a 4WD vehicle is to be inspected for speed- ometer test on 2WD roll tester, strictly followthe procedures next.
1. Check the tyre pressures recommended for your vehicle.
2. Place the rear wheels on the roll tester for speedometer test as shown in theillustration.
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Place the front wheels on the temporary free roller as shown in the illustration.
WARNING:Keep away from the front of the vehicle
whilst inspecting. This is very dangerous as the vehicle can jump forward and causeserious injury or death.
(9) When using tyre 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. Driving in Water
Select the LOW mode and drive through slowly.
D090E01HP
The maximum advisable wading depth is ap-
proximately 15.7 in.(40cm).
Before driving through water, such as when
crossing shallow streams, first check the depth of 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.

LIMITED-SLIP DIFFERENTIAL (Not all models)
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 adifferent speed from the wheel on the other sidewhen the vehicle is cornering. The differencebetween the limited-slip differential and a con-ventional differential is that if the wheel on oneside of the vehicle loses traction, a greateramount of torque is applied to the rear wheel onthe other side to improve traction.
SC140A1-E
EFFECTIVE BRAKING Braking system performance and friction mate-rial life are greatly affected by the driving styleadopted. The following suggestions are madeto assist in achieving the best results from thebraking system.
o Anticipate the road and conditions ahead in order that heavy braking may be avoided.
o When descending long gradients, use the engine to assist in retarding the vehicle tominimize the possibility of brake fade occur-ring. o When trailer towing, ensure that the trailer
brakes function correctly and use enginebraking to assist the vehicle braking system.
o Use only genuine Hyundai replacement brake pads and shoes to ensure consistentfriction characteristics and wear rates.
o After driving through deep water (e.g. fording), the brakes may become wet andperformance reduced. Always check brakeefficiency after emerging from the water anddry the brakes by lightly depressing thebrake pedal several times whilst driving slow-ly.
o Apply the parking brake only when the vehi- cle is at rest.
o Since the power assistance provided by the brake servo is derived from the engine,coasting with the engine turned off or towingof the vehicle with the engine turned off willresult in greatly increased pedal pressuresbeing required to stop the vehicle.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with the accelerator pedal. This can cause thetransmission to overheat. Always use thebrake pedal or parking brake.
CAUTION:
o Whilst the full-time 4WD vehicle is being raised on a jack, never start the engine orcause the tyres to rotate. There is the danger that rotating tyres touching the ground could cause thevehicle to go off the jack and to jumpforward.
o If one of the front or rear wheels begins to spin in mud, snow, etc., the vehiclecan sometimes be driven out by depress-ing the accelerator pedal further; how-ever, avoid running the engine continu-ously at high rpm because doing so coulddamage 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 aperson wearing a seatbelt.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the roadway and thedriver oversteers to reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the road- way, do not steer sharply. Instead, slowdown before pulling back into the travellanes.
