10. Check the operation of warning
lights and all bulbs when key is inthe "ON" position. C030A01HP-GAT Combination Ignition Switch
o If your Hyundai is equipped with a
manual transmission, place the shift lever in neutral and depress the clutch pedal fully.
o If your Hyundai has an automatic transmission, place the shift lever in"P" (park).
o To start the engine, insert the igni- tion key and turn it to the "START"position. Release it as soon as the engine starts. Do not hold the key inthe "START" position for more than 15 seconds.
NOTE: For safety, the engine will not start if the shift lever is not in "P" or "N" Position (Automatic Transmission).
WARNING:
Your vehicle is equipped with tires designed to provide for safe ride and handling capability.Do not use a size and type of tire and wheel that is different from the one that was originally installed onyour vehicle. It can affect the safety and performance of your vehicle, which could lead to handling fail-ure or rollover and serious injury. When replacing the tires, be sure to equip all four tires with the tire andwheel of the same size, type, tread, brand and load-carrying capacity. If you nevertheless decide to equipyour vehicle with any tire/wheel combination not recommended by Hyundai for off-road driving, youshould not use these tires for high- way driving.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
9AUTOMATIC TRANSMIS- SION
!
o Exercise extreme caution when driv-
ing on a slippery surface. Be espe- cially careful when braking, acceler- ating or shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an abrupt change in ve-hicle speed can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the ve- hicle to go out of control. o In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer sharply.Instead, slow down before pull- ing back into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed lim- its.
WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lanechanges or fast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts. In a collision crash, an unbeltedperson is significantly more likelyto die than a person wearing a seatbelt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly in-
creased if you lose control ofyour vehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off theroadway and the driver oversteers to reenter the roadway. C090A01HP-GAT (If Installed) The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transmission has four forward speeds and one reverse speed. It has a con-ventional shift pattern as shown in the illustration. At night, with headlights switched on,the appropriate symbol on the quad- rant will be illuminated according to the range selected.

C190F01HP-GAT Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check hitch and safety chain connections as well as proper operation of the trailer running lights, brake lights, and turn signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a mod- erate speed (Less than 100 km/h).
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than normal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking effi-
ciency, do not tow a trailer with thetransmission in fifth gear (manual transmission) or an overdrive gear (automatic transmission).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pres- sure of all tires on the trailer and your car. Low tire pressure can seriously affect the handling. Alsocheck the spare tire.

7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more affected by crosswind and buffeting. When being passed by a large vehicle, keep a constant speed and steer straight ahead. Ifthere is too much wind buffeting slow down to get out of the other vehicle's air turbulence.
8. When parking your car and trailer, especially on a hill, be sure to fol-low all the normal precautions. Turnyour front wheel into the curb, set the parking brake firmly, and put the transmission in 1st or Reverse(manual) or Park (automatic). In addition, place wheel chocks at each of the trailer's tires.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer mov-ing, and then apply the trailer brakecontroller by hand to be sure the brakes are working. This lets you check your electrical connection atthe same time.
10. During your trip, check occasion-
ally to be sure that the load issecure, and that the lights and any trailer brakes are still working.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
3JUMP STARTING
!
D020A02A-AAT
WARNING:
The gas produced by the battery during the jump-start operation is highly explosive. If these instruc- tions are not followed exactly, seri-ous personal injury and damage to the vehicle may occur! If you are not sure how to follow this proce-dure, seek qualified assistance. Automobile batteries contain sul- furic acid. This is poisonous andhighly corrosive. When jump start- ing, wear protective glasses and be careful not to get acid on yourself,your clothing or on the car. o If you should accidentally get acid
on your skin or in your eyes,immediately remove any contami- nated clothing and flush the area with clear water for at least 15 min-utes. Then promptly obtain medical attention. If you must be transported to an emergency facility, continue toapply water to the affected area with a sponge or cloth.
o The gas produced by the battery
during the jump-start operation ishighly explosive. Do not smoke or allow a spark or an open flame inthe vicinity.
o The battery being used to provide
the jump start must be 12-volt. If youcannot determine that it is a 12-volt battery, do not attempt to use it for the jump start.
o To jump start a car with a discharged battery, follow this procedure ex-actly:
1. If the booster battery is installed in another vehicle, be sure the twovehicles are not touching. 2. Turn off all unnecessary lights and
acces-sories in both vehicles.
3. Attach the clamps of the jumper cable in the exact location shown inthe illustration. First, attach oneclamp of the jumper cable to the positive (+) post or cable of the discharged battery. Then attach theother end of the same cable to the positive (+) post or cable of the booster battery. Next, using theother cable, attach one clamp to the negative (-) post or cable of the booster battery. Then attach theother end of that cable to a solid metal part of the engine away from the battery. Do not connect the cableto any moving part.
4. Start the engine in the car with the
booster battery and let it run for afew minutes. This will help to as- sure that the booster battery is fully charged. During the jumping opera-tion, run the engine in this vehicle at about 2000 rpm.
