B260D01A-AAT
Turn Signal Indicator Lights
The blinking green arrows on the in- strument panel show the direction indi-cated by the turn signals. If the arrow comes on but does not blink, blinks more rapidly than normal, or does notblink at all, a malfunction in the turn signal system is indicated. Your dealer should be consulted for repairs. B260P02Y-AAT
ABS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)(If Installed)
When the key is turned to the "ON" position, the Anti-Lock Brake System SRI will come on and then go off in afew seconds. If the ABS SRI remains on, comes on while driving, or does not come on when the key is turned to the"ON" position, this indicates that there may be a problem with the ABS. If this occurs, have your vehiclechecked by your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. The normal braking system will still be operational, butwithout the assistance of the anti-lock brake system. WARNING:
If the both ABS SRI and ParkingBrake/ Low Brake fluid level warn- ing lights remain "ON" or come onwhile driving, there may be a prob- lem with E.B.D (Electronic Brake Force Distribution).If this occurs, avoid sudden stops and have your vehicle checked by your Hyundai dealer as soon aspossible.

B260H02A-GAT Parking Brake / Low Brake Fluid Level Warn-ing Light Warning Light Operation The parking brake/low brake fluid level warning light should come on when theparking brake is applied and the igni- tion switch is turned to "ON" or "START". After the engine is started,the light should go out when the park- ing brake is released. If the parking brake is not applied, thewarning light should come on when the ignition switch is turned to "ON" or "START", then go out when the enginestarts. If the light comes on at any other time, you should slow the vehicle and bring it to a complete stop in a safelocation off the roadway. The brake fluid level warning light indi- cates that the brake fluid level in thebrake master cylinder is low and hy- draulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications should beadded. After adding fluid, if no other trouble is found, the car should be immediately and carefully driven to aHyundai dealer for inspection. If fur- ther trouble is experienced, the vehicle should not be driven at all but taken toa dealer by a professional towing ser- vice or some other safe method.
WARNING:
If you suspect brake trouble, have your brakes checked by a Hyundaidealer as soon as possible. Driving your car with a problem in either the brake electrical system or brakehydraulic system is dangerous, and could result in a serious injury or death.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

C090J01HP-DAT OVERDRIVE SWITCH When the overdrive switch is turned on, the transmission will automatically upshift to the second, third and over- drive gears. When the overdrive switchis turned off, the transmission will not upshift to the overdrive gear at all. For normal driving, the selector levershould be left in the "D" position and the overdrive switch turned on. If you need to accelerate rapidly, press the accelerator pedal all the way to thefloor. The transmission will automati- cally shift to a lower gear, depending on the speed. NOTE: Turn the overdrive switch on for good fuel economy and smooth driving. If engine braking is neededin the "D" range or if repeated up- shifting and downshifting between the 3rd and 4th gear is needed whenclimbing a gentle slope, it is recom- mended that the overdrive switch be turned off. Turn the overdriveswitch back on immediately after- ward.
HHP3019
o Do not use the P(Park) position in
place of the parking brake. Alwaysset the parking brake, shift the transmission into P(Park) and turnoff the ignition when you leave the vehicle, even momentarily. Never leave the vehicle unattendedwhile the engine is running.
o When accelerating from a stop on
a steep hill, the vehicle may havea tendency to roll backwards. Shift- ing the shift lever into 2nd gear will help prevent the vehicle fromrolling backwards.
o Check the automatic transmission
fluid level regularly, and add fluidas necessary.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

!
CAUTION:
If overheating should occur when towing, (temperature gauge readsnear red zone), taking the following action may reduce or eliminate the problem.
1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Reduce highway speed.
3. Select a lower gear when going uphill.
4. While in stop and go traffic, place
the gear selector in park or neu- tral and idle the engine at a higher speed.
11. Avoid jerky starts, sudden accel-
eration or sudden stops.
12. Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.
13. Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently. This could cause the brakes to over- heat, resulting in reduced brakingefficiency.
14. When going down a hill, shift into a
lower gear and use the engine brak-ing effect. When ascending a long grade, downshift the transmission to a lower gear and reduce speedto reduce chances of engine over- loading and/or overheating.
15. If you have to stop while going uphill, do not hold the vehicle inplace by pressing on the accelera- tor. This can cause the automatictransmission to overheat. Use the parking brake or footbrake.
NOTE: When towing, check transmission fluid more frequently.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
15
NOTE:
o To do the emergency towing, first
remove the cover below the bumper on passenger's side by pulling it
o To avoid serious damage to your
4WD vehicle, limit the towing to15 km/h (10 mph) and not for more than 1.5 km (1 mile) at ANYTIME.
o Before towing, check the level of
the automatic transmission fluid.If it is below the "HOT" range on the dipstick, add fluid. If you can- not add fluid, a towing dolly mustbe used. HHP4037
For emergency towing when no com-mercial tow vehicle is available, attacha tow cable, chain or strap to one of the towing hooks under the front/rear of your car. Be very careful when at-tempting this procedure when the ve- hicle is on any unpaved surface to avoid damage to your vehicle.Nor should towing be attempted if the wheels, drive train, axles, steering or brakes are damaged. Before towing,be sure the transmission is in neutral and the key is in "ACC" (with the engine off) or in the "ON" position (withthe engine running). A driver must be in the towed car to steer it and operate the brakes.
