C055B02HP-GAT STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE FOR TURBO CHARGERINTERCOOLER (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 pro-
longed engine loading, the engineshould be allowed to idle, as shown in the following chart, before turn- ing it off.This idle time will allow the turbo charger to cool prior to shutting the engine off.OPERATING THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION
!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 100km/h
Required Idle Time Not necessary About 20 secondsAbout 1 minute About 2 minutes
Driving Condition Normal driving High speed driving
Up to 80 km/h Up to 100km/hC070A02HP-GAT Your Hyundai's manual transmission has a conventional shift pattern. This shift pattern is imprinted on the shiftknob. The transmission is fully syn- chronized in all forward gears so shift- ing to either a higher or a lower gear iseasily accomplished. NOTE:
o To shift into reverse, rest the le-
ver in neutral for at least 3 sec- onds after your car is completely stopped. Then move the leverinto the reverse position.

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 theparking brake and shift the selector lever to the "P" (Park) position.
CAUTION:
Never place the selector lever in the"P" (Park) position unless the ve- hicle is fully stopped.Failure to observe this caution will cause severe damage to the trans- mission. 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" posi-tion. C090D01HP-GAT
o N (Neutral): In the "N" position, the transmission is in neutral, which means that no gearsare 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 transmis- sion will automatically shift through a four-gear sequence, giving besteconomy and power. Never down-shift manually to "2" position or "L" position when vehicle speed is more than 96km/h (60 mph).
CAUTION:
Never shift into "R" or "P" positionwhile the vehicle is moving.
NOTE: Depress the brake pedal andpush the button when shifting. Push the button when shifting. The selector lever can beshifted freely.
For optimum fuel economy, acceler- ate gradually. The transmission will automatically shift to the second, thirdand overdrive gears.

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 gearis performed. However, the shift-up to 3rd gear is done when the car speed exceeds a certain value to prevent theengine 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 descendingsteep hills. When downshifting to "L", the transmission will temporarily re- main in second gear until the vehiclehas 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, andas the speed increases, shift-up to 3rd gear occurs to prevent over-running the engine. C090H02HP-DAT
CAUTION:
o P (Park): Use this range to park the vehicle. This range is also used when en- gine is started and warmed up.
o N (Neutral): The engine can be started in this range, but the use of "P" range isrecommended for safer start up. NOTE:
o For smooth operation, depress
the brake pedal when shifting from NEUTRAL or PARK to a for-ward or reverse gear.
o The ignition key must be in the
"ON" position and the brake pedalfully depressed in order to move the shift lever from the "P" (Park) position to any of the other posi-tions.
o It is always possible to shift from
"R", "N", "D", "2", "L" positionsto "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 com- pletely stopped.
o Do not accelerate the engine in
the reverse or any of the forwardpositions with the brakes applied.
o Always apply the footbrake when
shifting from "P" or "N" to "R","D", "2" or "L" position.

D090E02HP-GAT Driving Four-wheel drive safely
o The driving posture should be more
upright and closer to the wheel than usual; adjust the seat to a good position for easy steering and pedal operation.
o Be sure to wear the seat belt.
o Drive carefully when off the road
and avoid dangerous areas.
o 4WD has higher ground clearance and a narrower track to make them capable of performing in a widevariety of off road applications. Spe- cific design characteristics give them a higher center of gravity than ordi-nary cars. An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better view of the road allowing you toanticipate problems. They are not designed for cornering at the same speeds as conventional 2-wheeldrive vehicles any more than low- slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily under off-roadconditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers.
