FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 1-19
YB110C1-A
SRS (Airbag) SERVICE REMINDER INDICATOR(Not all models)
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) comes
on and flashes for about 6 seconds after the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position orafter the engine is started, after which it will goout.
This light also comes on when the SRS is not
working properly.
If the SRI does not come on, or continuously
remains on after flashing for about 6 secondswhen you turned the ignition key to the “ON”position or started the engine, or if it comes onwhile driving, have the SRS inspected by anauthorized Hyundai Dealer.
ZB110P2-E LOW FUEL LEVEL WARNING LIGHT
The low fuel level warning light comes on when the fuel tank is approaching empty. When itcomes on, you should add fuel as soon aspossible. Driving with the fuel level warning lighton or with the fuel level below "E" can cause theengine to misfire.
ZB110R1-E BRAKE PAD WEAR WARNING SOUNDWhen the brake pads of the front brakes be-
come worn to almost the limit of use, a metalfriction squealing sound will be heard as awarning to the driver that the brakes should bechecked. When this sound is heard, replace thebrake pads with new ones.
ZB110Q2-A MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT
This light illuminates when there is a malfunc- tion of an exhaust gas related component, andthe system is not functioning properly so that
B260L01A-GAT DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT
The door ajar warning light warns you that a
door is not completely closed.
ZB110M2-E CHARGING WARNING LIGHT
This red warning light indicates malfunctioning of the alternator and electrical charging system.If this warning light glows when the ignitionswitch is in the "ON" position (engine off), thebulb and electrical wiring are satisfactory. Thelight should go out when the engine is started.If the light glows when the engine is running, thealternator and electrical system should bechecked as soon as possible.
Warning Light Operation The parking brake/brake fluid level warning
light should come on when the parking brake is applied and the ignition switch is turned to "ON"or "START". After the engine is started, the lightshould go out when the parking brake is re-leased.
If the parking brake is not applied, the warning
light should come on when the ignition switch isturned to "ON" or "START", then go out whenthe engine starts. If the light comes on at anyother time, you should slow the vehicle andbring it to a complete stop in a safe location offthe roadway.
The brake warning light indicates that the brake
fluid level in the brake master cylinder is lowand hydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3or DOT 4 specifications should be added. Afteradding fluid, if no other trouble is found, the carshould be immediately and carefully drivento a Hyundai dealer for inspection. If furthertrouble is experienced, the vehicle should notbe driven at all but taken to a dealer by aprofessional towing service or some other safemethod.
Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-diagonal
braking systems. This means you still havebraking on two wheels even if one of the dualsystems should fail. With only one of the dualsystems working, more than normal pedal trav-el and greater pedal pressure are required tostop the car. Also, the car will not stop in asshort a distance with only half of the brakesystem working. If the brakes fail while you are driving, shift to a lower gear for additional en-gine braking and stop the car as soon as it issafe to do so.

B750B02Y-AAT Using a cellular phone or a two-way radio When a cellular phone is used inside the vehi- cle, noise may be produced from the audioequipment. This does not mean that somethingis wrong with the audio equipment. In such acase, use the cellular phone at a place as far aspossible from the audio equipment. CAUTION: When using a communication system sucha cellular phone or a radio set inside thevehicle, a separate external antenna mustbe fitted. When a cellular phone or a radioset is used by using an internal antennaalone, it may interfere with the vehicle'selectrical system and adversely affect safeoperation of the vehicle. WARNING: Don't use a cellular phone when you are driving, you must stop the car at the safeplace to use a cellular phone.
SSAR013A
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 strongerstation.
o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large obstructions between the transmitter andyour radio can disturb the signal causingstatic or fluttering noises to occur. Reducingthe treble level may lessen this effect untilthe disturbance clears.SSAR014A
o Station Swapping - As a FM signal weak-ens, another more powerful signal near the same frequency may begin to play. This isbecause your radio is designed to lock ontothe clearest signal. If this occurs, selectanother station with a stronger signal.
o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals be- ing received from several directions cancause distortion or fluttering. This can becaused by a direct and a reflected signalfrom the same station, or by signals fromtwo stations with close frequencies. If thisoccurs, select another station until the con-dition has passed.

ZC170C1-E
Anti-freeze/Corrosion inhibitor The cooling system must always contain an
Ethylene-Glycol based anti-freeze solution. The system is filled during manufacture with solu-tion of the correct strength which should bechecked before the onset of winter and adjust-ed or changed as required.
NOTE: The anti-freeze solution contains a corro-
sion inhibitor to prevent degradation of the aluminum castings contained within theengine. Therefore, never, drain the systemand refill with water only.
In addition, anti-freeze solution must ALWAYS
be used in vehicles fitted with air conditioning,to prevent the heater matrix from freezing andsubsequently bursting with the refrigeration sys-tem in use. ZC170B1-E
Electrical System
Winter conditions impose severe demands upon
vehicle electrical systems, particularly the charg-ing circuit. The battery condition and perfor-mance along with the alternator performanceand drive belt condition should be checked priorto the onset of winter.
o Don’t "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging
is driving too slowly in too high a gearresulting in the engine bucking. If this hap-pens to you, shift to a lower gear. Over-revving is racing the engine beyond its safe limit. This can be avoided by shifting atthe recommended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air conditioning system is operated by the en-gine power so your fuel economy is reducedwhen you use it.
SC160A1-F
SMOOTH CORNERING Avoid braking or gear changing in corners,
especially when roads are wet. Ideally, cornersshould always be taken under gentle accelera-tion. If you follow these suggestions, tire wearwill be held to a minimum.
SC170A1-E
WINTER MOTORING The onset of winter conditions subject motor
vehicles to greater operating demands. There-fore, the following suggestions will assist inmaintaining peak performance and reliabilityduring these periods: ZC170D1-E
Door Locks
Should the door lock mechanism become fro-
zen, a proprietary lock de-icer should be used.Alternatively, warming the door key may thawthe door lock. However, the key should behandled carefully to avoid burning the fingers.
Never attempt to thaw a frozen door lock using
hot water, since the water will eventually freezeand compound the problem.
NOTE:The proper temperature for using the immo-
bilizer key is from -40°F to 176°F(from -40°Cto 80°C). If you heat the immobilizer keyover 176°F(80°C) to open the frozen lock, itmay cause damage to the transponder in itshead.
ZC170E1-E
Windscreen Washers & Wipers The windscreen washer bottle should be filled
with a solution of water and a proprietary winterscreen wash additive. The windscreen wipersshould not be used it the blades are frozen tothe windscreen or if they are covered withsnow, before this is removed.
NOTE: Never allow undiluted screen washer fluid
additive to spill upon the paintwork or use engine coolant anti-freeze since damage tothe paintwork may result.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 12 15. If you have to stop while going uphill, do not
hold the vehicle in place by pressing on the accelerator. This can cause the automatictransaxle to overheat. Use the parking brakeor footbrake.
NOTE: When towing, check transaxle fluid more frequently. CAUTION: If overheating should occur when towing,
(temperature gauge reads near red zone),taking the following action may reduce oreliminate 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 selection in park or neutral and idle theengine at a higher speed.
being passed by a large vehicle, keep aconstant speed and steer straight ahead. If there is too much wind buffeting, slow
down to get out of the other vehicle's airturbulence.
8. When parking your car and trailer, especial- ly on a hill, be sure to follow all the normalprecautions. Turn your front wheel into thecurb, set the parking brake firmly, and putthe transaxle in 1st or Reverse (manual) orPark (automatic). In addition, place wheelchocks at each of the trailer's tyres.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving, and then applythe trailer brake controller by hand to be
sure the brakes are working. This lets you
check your electrical connection at the sametime.
10. During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure, and that thelights and any trailer brakes are still working.
11. Avoid jerky starts, sudden acceleration 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 overheat, resulting in reduced brakingefficiency.
14. When going down a hill, shift into a lower gear and use the engine braking effect.When ascending a long grade, downshift thetransaxle to a lower gear and reduce speedto reduce chances of engine overloading
and or overheating.
WARNING:
o The tongue load should never exceed;
Auto Transaxle : 55.1 lb Manual Transaxle 9: 61.7 lb
o Maximun permissible mass of the cou- pling device (ATOS VAN only) : 44 lb
o Improperly loading your car and trailer can serious affect its steering and brak- ing performance causing a crash in which
you may be seriously injured or killed.

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, andturn signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a moderate speed (Less than 62 MPH).
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than nor- mal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking efficiency and electrical charging performance, do not usefifth gear (manual transaxle) or overdrive(automatic transaxle).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pressure of all tires on the trailer and your car. Low tyrepressure can seriously affect the handling.Also check the spare tyre.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more af- fected by crosswind and buffeting. When

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
3-2 3. If coolant is running out under the car or
steam is coming out from under the bonnet stop the engine. Do not open the bonnetuntil the coolant has stopped running or thesteaming has stopped. If there is no visibleloss of coolant and no steam, leave theengine running and check to be sure theengine cooling fan is operating. If the fan isnot running, turn the engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is missing. If it is not missing, check to see thatit is tight. If the drive belt seems to besatisfactory, check for coolant leaking fromthe radiator, hoses or under the car. (If theair conditioner had been in use, it is normalfor cold water to be draining from it).
WARNING: While the engine is running, keep hands andclothing away from moving parts such asthe fan and drive belts to prevent injury.
5. If the water pump drive belt is broken or coolant is leaking out, stop the engine imme-diately and call the nearest Hyundai dealerfor assistance.
WARNING: Do not remove the radiator cap when theengine is hot since steam and boiling watermay be ejected from the radiator resulting inburns or scalding.
CAUTION:
Personal injury and damage to the vehicle
may occur if jump starting is not performedcorrectly. If any doubt exists as to how thisoperation should be performed, seek assis-tance from qualified personnel. WARNING:
Motor vehicle batteries contain sulphuric
acid and emit hydrogen gas. Protective cloth- ing should be worn and care exercised toprevent the acid from coming into contactwith skin or clothing and the vehicle. Nakedlights should not be permitted in the vicinityof the battery. Care should be exercised topreventsparks occurring during connection.If acid accidentally comes into contact withskin or eyes, the affected area should imme-diately be flushed with copious amounts ofwater and medical assistance sought.
1. Ensure that the booster battery is 12 volt type. If the booster battery is installed in another vehicle, ensure that the two vehi-cles are not touching.
2. Turn off all unnecessary electrical equip- ment in both vehicles.
3. Ensure that the engine of the vehicle provid- ing the jump start is running prior to connec-tion of the jump cables.
4. Connect the red jump cable to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery and theother end to the positive (+) terminal of thedischarged battery. 5. Attach the black jump cable to the negative
(-) terminal of the booster battery, and theother end to a ground point within the enginecompartment of the vehicle with the flat bat-tery. Do not connect to the negative batteryterminal of the flat battery since sparks maybe generated with the subsequent risk ofexplosion.
6. Raise the booster vehicle engine speed to 2,000 r.p.m. and start the engine of thevehicle with the flat battery.
7. Remove jump cables in the reverse order of installation (black cable first).
NOTE: If the jump cable is incorrectly installed, damage to the vehicle electrical system mayoccur, in particular the electronic compo-nents such as the Fuel Injection systemcomputer and the Automatic Transaxle com-puter. The battery must never be discon-nected whilst the engine is running. XD040A1-E
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS If the temperature gauge indicates overheating:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P" (auto- matic), or neutral (manual transaxle, semi- automatic transalxe) and set the parkingbrake. If the air conditioner is on, turn it off.

CHECKING AND REPLACING FUSES Replacing a Fusible Link
G200A01A
Bad
Good
A fusible link will melt if the electrical circuits from the battery are ever overloaded, thus pre- venting damage to the entire wiring harness.(This could be caused by a short in the systemdrawing too much current.) If this ever happens,have a Hyundai dealer determine the cause,repair the system and replace the fusible link.The fusible links are located in a relay box foreasy inspection. CAUTION: When replacing a fusible link, never use anything but a new fusible link with thesame or lower amperage rating. Never use apiece of wire or a higher-rated fusible link.This could result in serious damage andcreate a fire hazard.

CHECKING DRIVE BELTS
G190A01A
Water pump pulley
Generator 0.37 ~ 0.43 in. (9.5~11.0 mm) Crankshaft pulley
Drive belts should be checked periodically for proper tension and adjusted if necessary. At thesame time, belts should be examined for cracks,wear, fraying or other evidence of deteriorationand replaced if necessary. Belt routing should also be checked to be sure there is no interference between the belts andother parts of the engine. After a belt is re-placed, the new belt should be adjusted againafter two or three weeks to eliminate slackresulting from initial stretching after use.
ZG180A1-A
CHECKING BRAKE PEDAL CLEARANCE
SSA6180A
1.42 in. (36 mm)
You need a helper to check the brake pedal
clearance. With the engine running, have your helper press down on the brake pedal severaltimes and then hold it down with a force of about110 lbs (50 kg, 490 N). The brake pedal clear-ance is the distance from the top surface of thebrake pedal to the asphalt sheeting under thefloor mat.
If the brake pedal clearance is not within the
limits specified in the illustration, have it in-spected by your Hyundai dealer and adjustedor repaired if necessary.
