2- 4 C070A02HP-GAT OPERATING THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION Your Hyundai's manual transmission has a con- ventional shift pattern. This shift pattern is im- printed on the shift knob. The transmission is fully synchronized in all forward gears so shifting to either a higher or a lower gear is easily accom- plished. NOTE:
o To shift into reverse, rest the lever in
neutral for at least 3 seconds after yourcar is completely stopped. Then move the lever into the reverse position.
o During cold weather, shifting may be dif- ficult until the transmission lubricant has warmed up. This is normal and not harm- ful to the transmission.
o If you 've come to a complete stop and it's hard to shift into 1st or R(Reverse), put the
SSA2090A
NOTE: If the engine were not started within 2 sec- onds after the preheating is completed, turn the ignition key once more to the "LOCK" position during 10 seconds, and then to the "ON" position, in order to preheat again.
5. Operate the accelerator pedal as describedbelow in accordance with the atmospheric temperature and/or engine condition. (Diesel Engine (2.5 TCI) Only)
(1) When the atmospheric temperature is moderate or the engine is warm:Start the engine without depressing the accelerator pedal.
(2) When the atmospheric temperature is
low and the engine is cold: Start the engine while depressing the accelerator pedal. If the atmospheric tem- perature is very low, setting the ignition switch to "ON" for one or two seconds before attempting to start the engine will make it easier to start.
6. Turn the ignition key to the "START" position and release it when the engine starts. C055B01HP-GAT STARTING AND STOPPING THE EN- GINE FOR TURBO CHARGER INTER- COOLER (Diesel Engine)
(1) Do not race the engine or sudden accelerate
the engine immediately after start it. If the engine is cold, allow the engine to idle for several seconds before it is driven to ensure sufficient lubrication of the turbo charger unit.
(2) After high speed or extended driving, requir- ing a heavy engine load, the engine should be allowed to idle, as shown in the chart below, before turning it off. This idle time will allow the turbo charger to cool prior to shutting the engine off.
Required Idle Time

C070B01A-AAT Using the Clutch The clutch should be pressed all the way to the floor before shifting, then released slowly. The clutch pedal should always be used after fully returning to the original position. Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving. This can cause unnecessary wear. Do not partially en- gage the clutch to hold the car on an incline. This causes unnecessary wear. Use the parking brake to hold the car on an incline. Do not operate the clutch pedal rapidly and repeatedly. shift lever in N(Neutral) position and re-lease the clutch. Press the clutch pedal back down, and then shift into 1st or R(Reverse) gear position.
o Do not use the shift lever as a handrest
during driving, as this can result in prema- ture wear of the transmission shift forks.
CAUTION: When downshifting from fifth gear to fourth gear, caution should be taken not to inadvert- ently press the gear shift lever sideways in such a manner that second gear is engaged. Such a drastic downshift may cause the en- gine speed to increase to the point that the tachometer will enter the red-zone. Such over- revving of the engine may possibly cause engine damage. C070D02O-AAT Good Driving Practices
o Never take the car out of gear and coast down
a hill. This is extremely hazardous. Always leave the car in gear.
o Don't "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. This will help avoid over-revving the engine, which can cause damage.
o Slow down when you encounter cross winds.
This gives you much better control of your car.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped before you attempt to shift into reverse. The trans- mission can be damaged if you do not. To shift into reverse, depress the clutch, move the shift lever to neutral, wait three seconds, then shift to the reverse position.
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. C070E03A-GAT RECOMMENDED SHIFT POINTS

The shift points as shown above are recom- mended for optimum fuel economy and perfor- mance.
o Always wear your seat belts.
In a collision crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a per- son wearing a seatbelt.
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.
o Never exceed posted speed limits.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 6 C090B01HP-GAT The function of each position is as follows:
o P (Park): Use to hold the vehicle in place when parked or while starting the engine. Whenever parking the car, apply the parking brake and shift the selector lever to the "P" (Park) position. CAUTION: Never place the selector lever in the "P" (Park) position unless the vehicle is fully stopped. Failure to observe this caution will cause severe damage to the transmission. C090C01A-AAT
o R (Reverse): Use for backing up the vehicle. Bring the car to a complete stop before shifting the selector lever to "R" position. C090D01HP-GAT
o N (Neutral): In the "N" position, the transmission is in neutral, which means that no gears are engaged. The engine can be started with the shift lever in "N" position, although this is not recommended ex- cept if the engine stalls while the car is moving. C090E01HP-GAT
o D (Drive): Use for normal driving. The transmission will automatically shift through a four-gear sequence, giving best economy and power. Never down- shift manually to "2" position or "L" position when vehicle speed is more than 96 km/h (60 mph). C090F01A-AAT
o 2 (Second gear): Use for driving on slippery road, hill climbing or engine braking downhill. "2" automatically shifts between 1st and 2nd gears. This means that no shift-up to 3rd gear is per- formed. However, the shift-up to 3rd gear is done when the car speed exceeds a certain value to prevent the engine from over-running. Manually move the selector to "D" returning to normal driving condition. C090G01HP-GAT
o L (Low gear):Use for driving up a very steep grade or for engine braking when descending steep hills. When downshifting to "L", the transmission will temporarily remain in second gear until the ve- hicle has slowed enough for low gear to engage. Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) in low gear. "L" engages 1st gear only. However, shift-up to 2nd is performed when the vehicle exceeds a certain speed, and as the speed increases, shift- up to 3rd gear occurs to prevent over-running the engine.
The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transmis-sion has four forward speeds and one reverse speed. It has a conventional shift pattern as shown in the illustration. At night, with headlights switched on, the appro- priate symbol on the quadrant will be illuminated according to the range selected. CAUTION: Never shift into "R" or "P" position while the vehicle is moving. NOTE:
Depress the brake pedal and push the button when shifting. Push the button when shifting. The selector lever can be shifted freely.
C090A01HP-GAT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (If installed)
C090A01HP
For optimum fuel economy, accelerate gradu- ally. The transmission will automatically shift to the second, third and overdrive gears.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 7
C090H01HP-DAT CAUTION:
o P (Park): Use this range to park the vehicle. This range is also used when engine is started and warmed up.
o N (Neutral): The engine can be started in this range, but the use of "P" range is recommended for safer start up. NOTE:
o For smooth operation, depress the brake
pedal when shifting from NEUTRAL orPARK to a forward or reverse gear.
o The ignition key must be in the "ON" position and the brake pedal fully de- pressed in order to move the shift lever from the "P" (Park)position to any of the other positions.
o It is always possible to shift from "R", "N",
"D", "2", "L" positions to "P" position. However, the vehicle must be fully stopped to avoid transmission damage.
C090I01HP-GAT CAUTION:
o Shift into "R" and "P" position only when the vehicle has completely stopped.
o Do not accelerate the engine in the re-
verse or any of the forward positions withthe brakes applied. o Always apply the footbrake when shifting
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 set the parking brake, shift the transmission into P(Park) and turn off the ignition when you leave the vehicle, even momentarily. Never leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running.
o Check the automatic transmission fluid
level regularly, and add fluid as neces- sary.
When the overdrive switch is turned on, thetransmission will automatically upshift to the sec- ond, third and overdrive gears. When the over- drive switch is turned off, the transmission will not upshift to the overdrive gear at all.
C090J01HP-DAT OVERDRIVE SWITCH (If installed)
C090J01HP
C090N02O-AAT Good Driving Practices
o Never move the gear selector lever from "P"
or "N" to any other position with the acceler- ator pedal depressed.
o Never move the gear selector lever into "P" when the vehicle is in motion.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped before you attempt to shift into "R".
o Never take the car out of gear and coast down a hill. This may be extremely hazardous. Always leave the car in gear when moving.
For normal driving, the selector lever should beleft in the "D" position and the overdrive switch turned on. If you need to accelerate rapidly, press the accel- erator pedal all the way to the floor. The transmis- sion will automatically shift to a lower gear, depending on the speed. NOTE: Turn the overdrive switch on for good fuel economy and smooth driving. If engine brak- ing is needed in the "D" range or if repeated upshifting and downshifting between the 3rd and 4th gear is needed when climbing a gentle slope, it is recommended that the over- drive switch be turned off. Turn the overdrive switch back on immediately afterward.

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.
In a collision crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a per- son wearing a seatbelt.
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. 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 the event your vehicle leaves the road-
way, do not steer sharply. Instead, slowdown before pulling back into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed limits.

conventional 2-wheel drive vehicles any more than low-slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily under off-road condi- tions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle cor- rectly may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover.
o Do not grip the inside or spokes of the steer-
ing wheel when driving off-road. The steering wheel could jerk and injure your hands. Al- ways firmly hold the outer steering wheel when you are driving off-road.
o Drive at lower speeds in strong crosswinds. Because of your vehicle’s high center of gravity, its stability will be affected in cross- winds. Slower speeds ensure better vehicle control.
o Check your brake condition once you are out
of mud or water. Press the brake several times as you move slowly until your feel normal braking forces return.
o Four-wheel driving on flat and normal roads
can result in a severe binding condition when turning the steering wheel.
Driving on dry paved road and high- way Select 2H(2WD) to drive on dry paved roads. Especially on dry highway, never select the 4H or 4L(4WD).

Before driving through water, such as when crossing shallow streams, first check the depth of the water and the bottom of the river bed for firmness. Drive slowly at the speed of 5 km/h (3mph) and avoid deep water. Take all necessary safety measures to ensure that water damage to the engine or other vehicle parts does not occur. Water entering the engine air intake will cause severe engine damage. Water can wash the grease from wheel bearings, causing rusting and premature failure, and may also enter the axles, transmission and transfer case, reducing the gear oil's lubricating qualities.

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-GATLIMITED-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.
Water entering the engine air intake will causesevere engine damage. Water can wash the grease from wheel bearings, causing rusting and premature failure, and may also enter the axles, transmission and transfer case, reducing the gear oil's lubricating qualities. 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.
