The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed
to prevent wheel lock-up during sudden braking or on hazardous road surfaces. The ABS con-
trol module monitors the wheel speed and con-trols the pressure applied to each brake. Thus,in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABSwill increase vehicle control during braking.

o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with the accelerator pedal. This can cause thetransaxle to overheat. Always use the brake
pedal or parking brake.
o Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Resting your
foot on the brake pedal while driving can bedangerous because it can result in the brakesoverheating and losing their effectiveness. Italso increases the wear of the brake compo-nents.
o If a tire goes flat while you are driving, apply the brakes gently and keep the car pointedstraight ahead while you slow down. Whenyou are moving slowly enough for it to be
safe to do so, pull off the road and stop in asafe place.
o If your car is equipped with an automatic transaxle, don't let your car creep forward.To avoid creeping forward, keep your foot
on the brake pedal when the car is stopped.
o Use caution when parking on a hill. Engage the parking brake and place the gear selec-tor lever in "P" (automatic transaxle) or in
first or reverse gear (manual transaxle). Ifyour car is facing downhill, turn the frontwheels into the curb to help keep the carfrom rolling. If your car is facing uphill, turnthe front wheels away from the curb to helpkeep the car from rolling. If there is no curb
or if it is required by other conditions to keepthe car from rolling, block the wheels.
o Under some conditions your parking brake can freeze in the engaged position. This ismost likely to happen when there is an
accumulation of snow or ice around or nearthe rear brakes or if the brakes are wet. If
there is a risk that the parking brake may
freeze, apply it only temporarily while you

Never wash your car when the surface is hotfrom being in the sun. Always wash your car inthe shade. Wash your car frequently. Dirt is abrasive and can scratch the paint if it is not removed. Airpollution or acid rain may damage the paint and trim through chemical action if pollutants are allowed to remain in contact with the surface. Ifyou live near the ocean or in an area where
road salts or dust control chemicals are used,you should pay particular attention to the under-side of the car. Start by rinsing the car toremove dust and loose dirt. In winter, or if youhave driven through mud or muddy water, besure to thoroughly clean the underside as well.Use a hard direct stream of water to removeaccumulations of mud or corrosive materials.Use a good quality car-washing solution andfollow the manufacturer's directions on the pack-
age. These are available at your Hyundai deal-
er or auto parts outlet. Don't use strong house-hold detergents, gasoline, strong solvents or
abrasive cleaning powders as these may dam-age the finish. Use a clean sponge or cloth, rinse it frequently
and don't damage the finish by rubbing toohard. For stubborn spots, dampen them fre-
quently and remove them a little at a time. To clean whitewall tires, use a stiff brush or
soapy steel-wool scouring pad. To clean plastic wheel covers, use a clean sponge or soft cloth and water. To clean cast aluminum alloy wheels, use a
mild soap or neutral detergent. Do not useabrasive cleaners. Protect the bare-metal sur-faces by cleaning, polishing and waxing. Be-
cause aluminum is subject to corrosion, be sureto give aluminum alloy wheels special attention
in winter. If you drive on salted roads, clean thewheels thoroughly afterwards. After washing, be sure to rinse thoroughly. If soapy water dries on the finish, streaking willresult. When the weather is warm and the humidity low, you may find it necessary to rinse eachsection immediately after washing to avoidstreaking. After rinsing, dry the car using a damp chamois
or soft, absorbent cloth. The reason for dryingthe car is to remove water from the car so it willdry without water spots. Don't rub, this candamage the finish. If you find any nicks or scratches in the paint, use touch-up paint to cover them to preventcorrosion. To protect the paintwork of the caragainst corrosion, you must clean your Hyundai

Your Hyundai is equipped with an emission
control system to meet all requirements of the Emission prohibition rules of your province. There are three emission control systems which
are as follows.
1) Crankcase emission control system
2) Evaporative emission control system
3) Exhaust emission control system In order to assure the proper function of the
emission control systems, it is recommended that you have your car inspected and main-tained by an authorized Hyundai dealer in ac-cordance with the maintenance schedule in thismanual. the crankcase through the air intake hose.Inside the crankcase, the fresh air mixes withblow-by gases, which then pass through thePCV valve and into the induction system.

ZB110L3-E PARKING BRAKE, BRAKE CIRCUIT FAILURE WARNING LIGHT
This light will be illuminated when the hand brake is applied and the ignition on, and shouldgo out when the hand brake is released. Thevehicle should not be driven until the handbrake has been released and the light go out. Italso will be illuminated if the brake fluid level inthe reservoir falls to the MIN. mark. If the lightilluminates while driving pull off the road ifpossible and stop immediately. Contact yournearest authorized dealer and have the systemchecked.
CAUTION: Operation of the engine with low oil pres- sure may result in serious damage to theengine. Should the oil pressure light fail to extinguish after starting or illuminate when the engine isrunning, the engine must be stopped immedi-ately. If the engine oil level is low, add a suffi-cient quantity of oil to raise the level to the fullmarking on the dip stick. Restart the engine andcheck that the warning light is extinguished.Should the light still be illuminated, stop theengine immediately and seek assistance fromthe nearest Hyundai dealer.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 7
o Ensure that the overdrive switch is at the
"ON" position for maximum economy.
o If rapid acceleration is required, fully de- press the accelerator pedal. In this condi- tion, the kickdown mechanism will be oper-ated and the transaxle will automaticallydownshift according to the vehicle speed.
o Do not depress the accelerator pedal with the brakes applied and the selector at the"R" "D" "2" or "L" position.
o Turn the overdrive switch on for good fuel economy and smooth driving. But if enginebraking is needed in the "D" range or ifrepeated upshifting and downshifting be-tween the 3rd and 4th gear is needed whenclimbing a gentle slope, it is recommendedthat the overdrive switch be turned off. Turnthe overdrive switch back on immediatelyafterward.

SC140A1-E
EFFECTIVE BRAKING Braking system performance and friction mate-
rial life are greatly affected by the driving styleadopted. The following suggestions are madeto assist in achieving the best results from thebraking system.
o Anticipate the road and conditions ahead in order that heavy braking may be avoided.
o When descending long gradients, use the engine to assist in retarding the vehicle to minimize the possibility of brake fade occur-ring.
ZC120D1-E
General Operating Instructions
o The button in the selector handle must be depressed before the selector can be moved.
o The engine may only be started when the selector is at position "P" or "N".
o Ensure that the footbrake is firmly applied when shifting from "P" or "N" to "D", "2" or "L" and vice versa.
o Always engage the parking brake when the vehicle is unattended, never use the "P"position in place of the parking brake.
o Under normal circumstances, the selector should be placed in the "D" position and thetransaxle allowed to select the most idealratio for the circumstances. In this positionmaximum fuel economy will be achieved.
o When descending steep gradients where engine braking is required, the selectorshould be placed at the "2" or "L" positiondepending upon the vehicle speed.
o When ascending steep gradients and using large throttle openings, the transaxle mayrepeatedly change between two adjacentratios. This is a normal characteristic andmay be prevented by selecting "2" or "L"depending upon the vehicle speed.
o Never move the selector to or from the "P" or "N" position with the accelerator de-pressed. o When trailer towing, ensure that the trailer
brakes function correctly and use enginebrak-ing to assist the vehicle braking system.
o Use only genuine Hyundai replacement brake pads and shoes to ensure consistentfriction characteristics and wear rates.
o After driving through deep water (e.g. fording), the brakes may become wet andperformance reduced. Always check brakeefficiency after emerging from the water anddry the brakes by lightly depressing thebrake pedal several times whilst driving slow-ly.
o Apply the parking brake only when the vehi- cle is at rest.
o Since the power assistance provided by the brake servo is derived from the engine,coast-ing with the engine turned off or tow-ing of the vehicle with the engine turned offwill result in greatly increased pedal pres-sures being re-quired to stop the vehicle.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with the accelerator pedal. This can cause thetransmission to overheat. Always use thebrake pedal or parking brake.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
(Not all models) The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed
to prevent wheel lock-up during sudden braking or on hazardous road surfaces. The ABS con-trol module monitors the wheel speed and con-trols the pressure applied to each brake. Thus,
