SC090B1-F Using the Clutch The clutch should be pressed all the way to the floor before shifting, then released slowly. Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving.This can cause unnecessary wear.Do not partially engage the clutch to hold the car on an incline. This causes unnecessary wear.Use the parking brake to hold the car on an incline. Do not operate the clutch pedal rapidly and repeatedly.
NOTE:
o During cold weather, shifting may be dif-
ficult until the transaxle lubricant has warmed up. This is normal and not harm- ful to the transaxle.
o If you 've come to a complete stop and
it's hard to shift into 1 st
or R(Reverse),
put the shift lever in N(Neutral) positionand let up on the clutch. Press the clutch pedal back down, and then shift into 1 st
or R(Reverse) gear position.
o Do not use the shift lever as a handrest during driving, as this can result in pre- mature wear of the transaxle shift forks. C070E02GK-AAT RECOMMENDED SHIFT POINTSThe shift points as shown below are recom- mended for optimum fuel economy and perfor- mance.

C090A04Y-GAT AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transaxle has four forwards speeds and one reverse speed. The individual speeds are selected au- tomatically, depending on the position of the speed selector lever. The selector lever has 2 gates; the main gate and the manual gate. NOTE: For information on manual gate operation,refer to "Sports Mode". In the main gate, the selector lever has 4 positions, and is equipped with a button to avoid inadvertent wrong selection. NOTE:
Depress the brake pedal and push the button when shifting.Push the button when shifting.The selector lever can be shifted freely.

2- 6 The first few shifts on a new vehicle, or if the
battery has been disconnected, may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal condi- tion, and the shifting sequence will adjust after shifts are cycled a few times by the T.C.M (Transmission Control Module).
CAUTION:Never shift into "R" or "P" position while
the vehicle is moving.
The indicator lights in the instrument cluster
indicate the selector lever position when the ignition is switched "ON". During "D" or sports mode operation, the gear currently in use dis- plays in the numeral indicator.
C090A02L-D C090F01GK-GAT Sports Mode
HGK175-D
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in motion,
sports mode is selected by pushing the selector lever from the "D" position into the manual gate. To return to "D" range operation, push the selector lever back into the main gate.
In sports mode, moving the selector lever back-
wards and forwards can make rapid gearshiftssimple. In contrast to a manual transaxle, the sports mode allows gearshifts with the accel- erator pedal depressed. UP (+) : Push the lever forward once to shift up
one gear. DOWN (-) : Pull the lever backwards once to
shift down one gear.
C090E01O-AAT
o D(Drive):Use for normal driving. The transaxle will auto- matically shift through a four gear sequence.
C090B01A-AAT 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; shift the selector lever to the "P" (Park) position. Whenever parking the car, apply the parking brake and shift the selector lever to the "P" (Park) position. CAUTION: Never place the selector lever in the "P"(Park) position unless the vehicle is fully stopped. Failure to observe this caution will cause severe damage to the transaxle. 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" position. C090D02O-AAT o N (Neutral):In the "N" position, the transaxle is in neutral, which means that no gears are 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.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 8 o Since the power assistance provided by the
brake servo is derived from the engine, coasting with the engine turned off or towing of the vehicle with the engine turned off will result in greatly increased pedal pressures being required 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 the brake pedal or parking brake.
SC140B1-E 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, in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABS will increase vehicle control during braking. NOTE: During ABS operation, a slight pulsation may be felt in the brake pedal when the brakes are applied. Also, a noise may be heard in the engine compartment while brak- ing. These conditions are normal and indi- cate that the anti-lock brake system is func- tioning properly.
when you are driving down a long hill, slowdown and shift to a lower gear. When you do this, engine braking will help slow the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear.
Otherwise, the lower gear may not be en-gaged.
o Always use the parking brake. Do not de- pend on placing the transaxle in "P" to keep the car from moving.
o Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be especially careful whenbraking, accelerating or shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an abrupt change in vehi- cle speed can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle to go out of control.
WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel move- ments, such as sharp lane changes orfast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts.
o The risk of rollover is greatly increased if
you lose control of your vehicle at high- way speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the roadway andthe driver oversteers to reenter the road- way.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the road- way, do not steer sharply. Instead, slowdown before pulling back into the travel lanes. o In a collision crash, un unbelted person
is significantly more likely to die than aperson wearing a seatbelt.
SC140A1-E EFFECTIVE BRAKINGBraking system performance and friction mate- rial life are greatly affected by the driving style adopted. The following suggestions are made to assist in achieving the best results from the braking 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.
o When trailer towing, ensure that the trailer brakes function correctly and use enginebraking 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 and performance reduced. Always check brake efficiency after emerging from the water and dry the brakes by lightly depressing the brake pedal several times whilst driving slow- ly.
o Apply the parking brake only when the vehi- cle is at rest.

C300D01GK-GAT Indicator and WarningThe indicator should illuminate when the igni- tion key is turned to ON
or START but should
go out after three seconds. If the indicator does not illuminate, or the TCS indicator does not go out after 3 seconds, have it checked by an authorized dealer. Should there be any unusual conditions in the device, TCS-OFF either illuminates or blinks as a warning. If TCS-OFF illuminates or blinks, pull your carto a safe place and stop the engine. Then, start the engine again to check if the TCS-OFF indicator goes out. If the indicator remains lit even after the engine has been started, have your car checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer. NOTE:
1) When TCS-OFF illuminates or blinks, trac- tion control is automatically deactivatedfor safety.
3) When the engine starts, a click is heard
from the engine compartment; however, this is only the sound of traction control being checked.
4) When moving out of the mud or fresh snow, pressing the accelerator pedal maynot cause the engine speed to increase. 2) This warning function is not provided
when the driver choose the TCS-OFF mode. o Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated
to the recommended pressure. Incorrect infla-tion, either too much or too little, results in unnecessary tire wear. Check the tire pres- sures at least once a month.
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned cor-
rectly. Improper alignment can result fromhitting curbs or driving too fast over irregular surfaces. Poor alignment causes faster tire wear and may also result in other problems as well as greater fuel consumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For better
fuel economy and reduced maintenance costs, maintain your car in accordance with the maintenance schedule in Section 5. If you drive your car in severe conditions, more frequent maintenance is required (see Section 5 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum service, your car should be kept clean and free ofcorrosive materials. It is especially impor- tant that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed to accumulate on the underside of the car. This extra weight can result in increased fuel consumption and also contribute to corro- sion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary weight in your car. Weight is an enemy of good fueleconomy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than neces- sary. If you are waiting (and not in traffic),turn off your engine and restart only when you're ready to go.
SC150A1-F DRIVING FOR ECONOMYYou can save fuel and get more miles from your car if you follow these suggestions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate
rate. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts or full- throttle shifts and maintain a steady cruising speed. Don't race between stoplights. Try to adjust your speed to that of the other traffic so you don't have to change speeds unnec- essarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible. Al-ways maintain a safe distance from other vehicles so you can avoid unnecessary brak- ing. This also reduces brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your car uses. Driving ata moderate speed, especially on the high- way, is one of the most effective ways to reduce fuel consumption.
o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. This
can increase fuel consumption and also increase wear on these components. In ad- dition, driving with your foot resting on the brake pedal may cause the brakes to over- heat, which reduces their effectiveness and may lead to more serious consequences.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 12 WARNING: It is not recommended that the vehicle be used for towing until the first 1000 miles of Running In has been completed. All Hyundai coupe models are suited to towing trailers and caravans up to the limits indicated be- low. Coupe models fitted with automatic transmission have a transmission oil cooler and further transmission cooling should not be required.

C190E01GK-EAT TOWING ATTACHMENTSIt is strongly recommended that only an Hyundai Approved towing attachment is used to ensure that the loads placed upon the body structure are correctly distributed. The use of a non approved attachment will result in the invalida- tion of the vehicle warranty. Hyundai towing attachments are designed and constructed to ensure maximum towing performance and ease of fitment. A range of accessories including electrical kits and mirrors are available through the Hyundai dealer network. It is of the utmost importance that those areas of the vehicle which are subjected to greater stress during towing are maintained in accor- dance with the recommendations given at the end of this book. In addition, the daily operating checks relating to engine oil, transmission oil and tyres must be performed at each refuelling to ensure maximum reliability and safety. The use of a proprietary stabiliser will assist inachieving an inherently stable outfit but whilst the use of such equipment will improve the characteristics of a balanced outfit, it will not compensate for a badly loaded and therefore unstable outfit. The tyres and braking equipment fitted to the trailer or caravan must be maintained in accor- dance with the recommendations of the manu- facturer. Special attention should be paid to tyres which deteriorate through time and expo-
o When driving in extreme conditions, the
windscreen wiper blades may fail to clearthe screen properly due to the formation of ice upon the blade edge. It will therefore be necessary to periodically remove such ice to restore their efficiency.
o If the power operated door mirrors become frozen, attempts to adjust these may dam-age the mechanism.
o The formation of snow or ice built up inside
the wheel arches may interfere with the road wheels or steering mechanism. In such in- stances, unusual noises or an increase in steering effort may result. Therefore, ensure that the wheel arches are checked periodi- cally and any accumulated snow or ice removed.
o It is advisable to carry emergency equip- ment including, torch, shovel, tow rope, blan-kets etc., if a journey is to be undertaken into areas of severe road conditions.
