C055B02HP-GAT STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE FOR TURBOCHARGER INTERCOOLER(Diesel Engine)
(1) Do not race or suddenly accelerate
the engine immediately after start- ing it. If the engine is cold, allow theengine to idle for several seconds before it is driven to ensure suffi- cient lubrication of the turbo chargerunit.
(2) After high speed driving or prolonged
engine loading, the engine shouldbe allowed to idle, as shown in the following chart, before turning it off. This idle time will allow the turbocharger to cool prior to shutting the engine off. WARNING:
Do not turn the engine off immedi-ately after it has been subjected to a heavy load. Doing so may causesevere damage to the engine or turbo charger unit. Steep mountain slopes or continued driving in ex-
cess of 62 MPH
Required Idle Time Not necessary About 20 secondsAbout 1 minute About 2 minutesDriving Condition Normal driving High speed driving
Up to 50 MPH Up to 62 MPHDC090C1-E FUEL ECONOMY The following suggestions are made to assist in achieving the greatest degreeof fuel economy.
o Maintaining a constant check on
fuel consumption will enable the most economical use pattern and driving style to be adopted.
o Avoid using the vehicle for very short journeys if possible, particu-larly when a cold start is involved.
o Ensure that tyre pressures are main- tained 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, removeit as soon as possible after use.
o Anticipate the road and conditions
ahead to enable adjustments inspeed to be made smoothly. Avoid heavy acceleration and sharp brak- ing.
o Avoid cruising at unnecessary high speeds.

o Always ensure that the periodic main-
tenance services are performed by a Hyundai dealer at the time and/or mileage intervals specified.
o Use the air conditioner only when
necessary.
The five speed fully synchronized trans-mission is controlled by a floor mounted shift lever upon which the shift patternis indicated. It is important that when changing gear, the clutch pedal is 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 mechanism, do not use the gear shift lever as a hand rest. Release the lever immediately the shift iscompleted.
o To avoid premature clutch wear,
do not use the clutch pedal as afoot rest, and do not hold the vehicle on a gradient using the clutch.
o Ensure that the engine is not over- revved by upshifting before thetachometer needle enters the redzone.
o Do not coast with the shift lever at
the neutral position.
o When descending long gradients, make use of the engine braking toassist the footbrake to avoid brakefade or over-heating.

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 posi-tions with the 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) posi- tion 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, evenmomentarily. Never leave the ve- hicle unattended whilst the en- gine is running.
o Check the automatic transmis- sion fluid level regularly and addfluid as necessary. SC130A1-E OVERDRIVE SWITCH The overdrive switch prevents the trans- mission upshifting higher than third gear when the switch is turned "OFF". Thetransmission will start from rest in first gear and upshift to second and third gear depending upon the roadspeedand throttle opening but will not upshift to fourth gear. When the overdrive switch is turned "ON", the transmission willstart from rest in first gear and will upshift, depending upon roadspeed and throttle opening to second, third andfourth gear. Therefore, when the over- drive switch is turned "OFF", the trans- mission performs as a three speed unitand the overdrive warning light located

in the instrument cluster will be illumi- nated. When the overdrive switch isturned "ON", the transmission func- tions as a fully automatic four speed unit with the maximum fuel economypotential of the vehicle being realized. HPC120D2-E General Operating Instructions
o The button in the selector handle
must be depressed before the se- lector 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 the transmission al- lowed to select the most ideal ratiofor the circumstances. In this posi- tion maximum fuel economy will be achieved.
o When descending steep gradients where engine braking is required,the selector should be placed at the"2" or "L" position depending upon the vehicle speed. o When ascending steep gradients
using large throttle openings, the transmission may repeatedly change between two adjacent ratios. This is a normal characteristic and may beprevented by cancelling the over- drive facility if the shifting occurs between third and fourth ratios, se-lecting position "2" if the shifting occurs between third and second ratios or selecting position "1" if theshifting occurs between first and second ratios.
o Never move the selector to or from the "P" or "N" position with the accel-erator depressed.
o Ensure that the overdrive switch is at the "ON" position for maximumeconomy.
o If rapid acceleration is required, fully depress the accelerator pedal. Inthis condition, the kickdown mecha- nism will be operated and the trans-mission will automatically downshift according to the vehicle speed.
o The automatic transaxle may be used to great effect if the vehicle becomesstuck in snow or mud by allowing the vehicle to be rocked to and fro. Theengine speed should be held at ap-

14FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD)
D090A01P-GAT 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 orsandy areas where good traction is required, or when your wheels lose traction using two-wheel drive.
proximately 1,000rpm by means ofthe accelerator pedal and the selec-tor lever moved between the "D" and "R" positions to induce a rocking motion.
o Do not depress the accelerator pedal with the brakes applied and the se-lector at the "R", "D", "2" or "L"position.
o Turn the overdrive switch on for good
fuel economy and smooth driving.But if engine braking is needed in the "D" range or if repeated upshifting and downshifting between the 3rdand 4th gear is needed when climb- ing a gentle slope, it is recommended that the overdrive switch be turnedoff. Turn the overdrive switch back on immediately afterward.
!WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lane changes or fast, sharp turns. o Always wear your seat belts.
In a collision crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seatbelt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly in- creased if you lose control of yourvehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the road-way and the driver oversteers toreenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer sharply.Instead, slow down before pulling back into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed limits.
o Excessive depressing of the accelerater pedal under the tyreslip condition such as moving outof the mud or fresh snow etc, may cause severe damage to the trans- mission. At this time, take otherway such as towing.

Descending sharp grades Select the 4L, use the engine brake and descend slowly.
Driving in Water
Water can wash the grease from wheelbearings, causing rusting and prema-ture failure, and may also enter the axles, transmission and transfer case, reducing the gear oil's lubricating quali-ties.
Select the 4L mode and drive through slowly. The maximum advisable wading depthis approximately 15.7 in.(40 cm). Before driving through water, such as when crossing shallow streams, firstcheck the depth of the water and the bottom of the river bed for firmness. Drive slowly at the speed of 3mph (5km/h) and avoid deep water. Take all necessary safety measures to ensure that water damage to the engineor other vehicle parts does not occur. Water entering the engine air intake will cause severe engine damage.

Water entering the engine air intake will cause severe engine damage. Water can wash the grease from wheel bearings, causing rusting and prema-ture failure, and may also enter the axles, transmission and transfer case, reducing the gear oil's lubricating quali-ties. CAUTION:
o Whilst the full-time 4WD vehicle is
being raised on a jack, never start the engine or cause the tyres to rotate. There is the danger that rotating tyres touching the ground couldcause the vehicle to go off the jack and to jump forward.
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 ac-celerator pedal further; however, avoid running the engine continu- ously at high rpm because doingso could damage the 4WD system.
!WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lane charges or fast, sharp turns.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
C120A02A-EAT (Not all models) The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed to prevent wheel lock-upduring sudden braking or on hazard- ous road surfaces. The ABS control module monitors the wheel speed andcontrols the pressure applied to each brake. Thus, in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABS will increasevehicle control during braking. NOTE: During ABS operation, a slight pul- sation may be felt in the brake pedal when the brakes are applied. Also, a noise may be heard in the enginecompartment whilst braking. These conditions are normal and indicate that the anti-lock brake system isfunctioning properly.
WARNING:
ABS will not prevent accidents due to improper or dangerous driving manoeuvres. Even though vehiclecontrol is improved during emer-

22EFFECTIVE BRAKING
HPC140A1-E Braking system performance and fric- tion material life are greatly affected by the driving style adopted. The follow- ing suggestions are made to assist inachieving the best results from the braking 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 retardingthe vehicle to minimize the possibil-ity of brake fade occurring.
o When trailer towing, ensure that the
trailer brakes function correctly anduse engine braking to assist the vehicle braking system.
o Use only genuine Hyundai replace- ment brake pads and shoes to en-sure consistent friction characteris- tics and wear rates.
o After driving through deep water (e.g. fording), the brakes may becomewet and performance reduced. Al-ways check brake efficiency after emerging from the water and dry the brakes by lightly depressing theLIMITED-SLIP DIFFEREN- TIAL
D190A01HP-EAT (Not all models) A limited-slip differential, if equipped, is for the rear wheel differential only.The features of this limited-slip differ- ential 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 iscornering. The difference between the limited-slip differential and a conven- tional differential is that if the wheel onone side of the vehicle loses traction, a greater amount of torque is applied to the rear wheel on the other side toimprove traction.
gency braking, always maintain a safe distance between you and ob- jects ahead. Vehicle speeds should always be reduced during extremeroad conditions. The braking distance for cars equipped with an anti-lock brakingsystem may be longer than for those without it in the following road con- ditions.
o Driving on rough, gravel or snow-
covered 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 atreduced speeds. The safety features of an ABS equipped vehicle should not be tested by high speed drivingor cornering. This could endanger the safety of yourself or others.
! CAUTION:
o Never start the engine with the gearshift lever placed in the for- ward or reverse whilst one of therear wheels is jacked up and the other in contact with the ground; doing so may cause the vehicle tojump forward.
o Use only recommended oil for
LSD in the rear axle.See page 9-5 for the recommended oil descriptions.
