B660F02L-EAT To Reset at a Slower Speed
1. Push the control switch "SET
(COAST)". The vehicle will deceler- ate. Whilst the control switch is pushed, the vehicle speed will gradu-ally decrease.
2. When the desired speed is obtained,
release the control button. o Do not use the cruise control
when it may not be safe to keep thecar at a constant speed, for in- stance, driving in heavy or vary- ing traffic, or on slippery (rainy,icy or snow-covered) or winding roads or over 6% up-hill or down- hill roads.
o Pay particular attention to the driving conditions whenever us-ing the cruise control system.
o During cruise-speed driving with manual transmission vehicle, donot shift into neutral without de-pressing the clutch pedal, since the engine will be overrevved. If this happens, depress the clutchpedal or release the main switch.
o During normal cruise control
operation, when the set button isactivated or reactivated after ap- plying the brakes, the cruise con- trol will energize after approxi-mately 3 seconds. This delay is normal.
WARNING:
o Keep the main switch off when not using the cruise control.
o Use the cruise control system only when traveling on open dual carriageways/motorways in goodweather.

B750B02Y-EAT Using a cellular phone or a two- way radio When a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle, noise may be producedfrom the audio equipment. This does not mean that something is wrong with the audio equipment. In such a case,use the cellular phone at a place as far as possible from the audio equipment.
CAUTION:
When using a communication sys- tem such a mobile phone or a radio set inside the vehicle, a separate external antenna must be fitted. Whena mobile phone or a radio set is used with an internal antenna alone, it may interfere with the vehicle's elec-trical system and adversely affect safe operation of the vehicle.
o Fading - As your car moves away
from the radio station, the signal will weaken and sound will begin to fade. When this occurs, we suggest that you select another stronger station.
o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large obstructions between the trans-mitter and your radio can disturb thesignal causing static or fluttering noises to occur. Reducing the treble level may lessen this effect until thedisturbance clears. o Station Swapping - As a FM signal
weakens, another more powerfulsignal near the same frequency may begin to play. This is because your radio is designed to lock onto theclearest signal. If this occurs, select another station with a stronger sig- nal.
o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio sig- nals being received from severaldirections can cause distortion orfluttering. This can be caused by a direct and a reflected signal from the same station, or by signals fromtwo stations with close frequencies. If this occurs, select another station until the condition has passed.

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 exhaust system 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 tailgate 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 speed setting. 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..

!WARNING:
Your vehicle is equipped with tyres designed to provide for safe ride and handling capability.Do not use a size and type of tyre and wheel that is different from the one that was originally installed on yourvehicle. It can affect the safety and performance of your vehicle, which could lead to handling failure orrollover and serious injury. When replacing the tyres, be sure to equip all four tyres with the tyre andwheel of the same size, type, tread, brand and load-carrying capacity. If you nevertheless decide to equipyour vehicle with any tyre/wheel com- bination not recommended by Hyundai for off-road driving, youshould not use these tyres for high- way driving.

C055B02HP-EAT STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE FOR TURBOCHARGER INTERCOOLER(Diesel Engine)
(1) Do not race the engine or suddenly accelerate the engine immediately after starting it. If the engine is cold,allow the engine to idle for several seconds before it is driven to ensure sufficient lubrication of the turbocharger unit.
(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.
DC090C1-E FUEL ECONOMY The following suggestions are made to assist in achieving the greatest degree of 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.
Steep mountain slopes or continued driving in ex-
cess of 62 MPH Required Idle Time Not necessary About 20 secondsAbout 1 minute About 2 minutes

o When slippery conditions are en-
countered, increased caution should be exercised when gear changing, braking or accelerat- ing. Abrupt changes in speed maycause a loss of traction or control of the vehicle.
o During cold weather, shifting may be difficult until the transmis-sion lubricant has warmed up. This is normal and not harmful tothe transmission.
o If you've come to a complete stop
and it's hard to shift into 1st orR(Reverse), put the gearshift lever in N(Neutral) position and release the clutch. Press the clutch pedalback down, and then shift into 1st or R(Reverse) gear position.
o Do not use the gearshift lever as a handrest during driving, as thiscan result in premature wear of the transmission shift forks. C070B01A-EAT Using the Clutch The clutch should be pressed all the way to the floor before shifting, then released slowly. The clutch pedal should aways be used after fully re-turning to the original position. Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal whilst driving. This can cause unnecessarywear. Do not partially engage the clutch to hold the car on an incline. This causesunnecessary wear. Use the parking brake to hold the car on an incline. Do not operate the clutch pedal rapidlyand repeatedly.
!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 unbeltedperson 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 motorway 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.
