SSAR010A
AM and FM radio signals are broadcast from transmitter towers located around your city. They are intercepted by the radio antenna on your car. This signal is then received by the radio and sent to your car speakers. When a strong radio signal has reached your vehicle, the precise engineering of your audio system ensures high quality reproduction. How- ever, in some cases the signal coming to your vehicle is not strong and clear. This can be due to factors such as the distance from the radio station, closeness of other strong radio stations or the presence of buildings, bridges or other large obstructions in the area. AM broadcasts can be received at greater dis- tances than FM broadcasts. This is because AM radio waves are transmitted at low frequency. These long, low frequency radio waves can follow the curvature of the earth rather than travelling straight out into the atmosphere. In addition, they curve around obstructions so that they can provide better signal coverage.
FM broadcasts are transmitted at high frequency and do not bend to follow the earth's surface. Because of this, FM broadcasts generally begin to fade at short distances from the station. Also, FM signals are easily affected by buildings, moun- tains, or other obstructions. These can result in certain listening conditions which might lead you to believe a problem exists with your radio. The following conditions are normal and do not indi- cate radio trouble:

WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust gases are potentially lethal. If at any time engine exhaust gas is detected within the passenger compartment, move the vehicle to an open area and open all windows. o Never inhale exhaust gas. Exhaust gases contain Carbon Monoxide which is colourless and odourless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous and can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation. o Exhaust System Maintenance. Ensure that the exhaust system is maintained in good condition and is free from excessive corrosion and damage which may result in leakage. If the vehicle is driven over an object which strikes the exhaust system, ensure that the exhaust system is inspected at the first available opportunity to ensure that no leakage exists. o Confined Areas. Do not run the engine in confined spaces, allowing the engine to idle in a garage, even when the doors are open is dangerous practice. Only start the engine immediately prior to moving the vehicle out of the garage. o Prolonged Idling. If it is necessary to allow the vehicle to idle for prolonged periods, ensure that the heating system air intake control is set to the "Fresh" position, the blower is set to high speed operation and that the vehicle is standing in an open area. o Load Carrying. If it is necessary to carry long objects which do not permit the hatchback door to be fully closed, the side windows must remain closed and the heating air intake control set to the "Fresh" position with the blower running at the highest speed setting. To ensure correct operation of the heater system, the air intake grilles at the base of the windscreen must not be obstructed by snow leaves etc..

SB050B1-E STEERING WHEEL LOCKWhen the key is removed, the steering column lock will be activated and will engage when the steering wheel is turned to the appropriate po- sition. It is not necessary to turn the wheel until locked each time the key is removed since in the event of any unauthorized attempt at re- moval, the lock will become effective as soon as the steering wheel is turned. To unlock the steering, insert the key and turn to the "ACC" position. If the steering is locked, it may be necessary to rock the steering wheel slightly to facilitate turning the key. Under no circum- stances should the key be forced since break- age of the key will occur.
SC060B1-E FUEL ECONOMY The following suggestions are made to assist in achieving the greatest degree of fuel economy.
o Maintaining a constant check on fuel con-
sumption will enable the most economical use pattern and driving style to be adopted.
o Avoid using the vehicle for very short jour- neys if possible, particularly when a coldstart is involved.
o Ensure that tyre pressures are maintained at the correct level.
o Use only the recommended grade of fuel.
o Avoid carrying unnecessary weight, and if a roof rack is in use, remove it as soon aspossible after use.
o Anticipate the road and conditions ahead to enable adjustments in speed to be madesmoothly. Avoid heavy acceleration and sharp braking.
o Avoid cruising at unnecessary high speeds.
o Always ensure that the periodic maintenance services are performed by a Hyundai dealer
at the time and/or mileage intervals speci- fied.
o Use the air conditioning only when neces-
sary.
SC060A1-E STARTING THE ENGINE 1. Ensure that the transmission is in neutral
and that the clutch pedal is held depressed (manual transmission) or the transmission selector is at the "P" position (automatic transmission vehicle).
2. Turn the ignition key to and hold at the
"Start" position until the engine starts. Whenthe engine has started, release the key.
NOTE: Do not operate the starter for more than 15seconds continuously or continue to oper- ate the starter after the engine has started to avoid damaging the starter motor. If the engine makes a false start, allow it and the starter motor to come to rest before at- tempting to start the engine again. Never attempt to start the engine with the trans- mission in gear. Do not depress the accel- erator pedal whilst starting the engine. Al- low the engine to idle for 20 seconds or so before driving the vehicle. CAUTION: Do not leave the vehicle unattended whilst idling. Never allow the vehicle to idle or warm up in a confined space (ie garage) longer than is necessary to move the vehi- cle into an open area.

2- 4 CAUTION:
o Do not attempt to engage reverse gear
when the car is in motion.
o To avoid damaging the selector mecha- nism, do not use the gear shift lever as a hand rest. Release the lever immediately the shift is completed.
o To avoid premature clutch wear, do not use the clutch pedal as a foot rest, and donot hold the vehicle on a gradient using the clutch.
o Ensure that the engine is not over-revved by upshifting before the tachometer needleenters the red zone.
o Do not coast with the shift lever at the neutral position.
o When descending long gradients, make use of the engine braking to assist thefootbrake to avoid brake fade or over- heating.
o When slippery conditions are encountered, increased caution should be exercisedwhen gear changing, braking or ac- celerating. Abrupt changes in speed may cause a loss of traction or control of the vehicle.
o The starter motor will not operate unless the clutch pedal is depressed whilst theengine is being started.
C070A02GK-EAT MANUAL TRANSMISSION The five speed fully synchronized transmission is controlled by a floor mounted shift lever upon which the shift pattern is indicated. It is important that when changing gear, the clutch pedal is fully depressed to avoid transmission damage.
SC090D1-F To Remove the Ignition Key

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- 7
C090H01L-GAT NOTE:
o For smooth and safe operation, depress
the brake pedal when shifting from "Neu- tral" position or "Park" position to a for- ward or reverse gear.
o The ignition key must be in the "ON" position and the brake pedal fully de-pressed in order to move the shift lever from the "P" (Park) position to any of the other positions.
o It is always possible to shift from "R", "N", "D" position to "P" position. Thevehicle must be fully stopped to avoid transaxle damage.
SKIP
: By rapidly moving the selector forwards
or backwards twice, it is possible to skip onegear, i.e. 1st to 3rd or 3rd to 1st . CAUTION:
o In sports mode, the driver must execute upward shifts in accordance with pre-vailing road conditions, taking care to keep the engine speed below the red zone.
o For engine protection, upward shifts are made automatically when the engine rpmreaches the red zone.
o By rapidly moving the selector lever back- wards (-) twice it is possible to skip onegear by using the sports mode. Since sudden engine braking and/or rapid ac- celeration can cause a loss of traction, however, downshifts must be made care- fully in accordance with the vehicle's speed.
NOTE:
o In sports mode, only the four forward gears can be selected. To reverse or parkthe vehicle, move the selector lever to the "R" or "P" position as required.
o In sports mode, downward shifts are made automatically when the vehicleslows down. When the vehicle stops, 1st gear is automatically selected.
o To maintain the required levels of vehicle performance and safety, the system maynot execute certain gearshifts when the selector lever is operated. o Before driving away from a stop on a
slippery road, push the selector leverforward into the +(UP) position. This causes the transaxle to shift into 2nd gear which is better for smooth driving away on a slippery road. Push the selec- tor lever to the -(DOWN) side to shift back to 1st gear. C090I01L-GAT CAUTION:
o Shift into "R" and "P" position only when
the vehicle has completely stopped.
o Do not accelerate the engine in reverse or any of the forward positions with the brakes applied.
o Always apply the footbrake when shift- ing from "P" or "N", to "R", "D"position.
o Do not use the "P" (Park) position in place of the parking brake. Always set the parking brake, shift the transaxle into "P" (Park) position and turn off the igni- tion when you leave the vehicle, even momentarily. Never leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running.
o Check the automatic transaxle fluid level regularly, and add fluid as necessary.
C090N01O-AAT Good Driving Practices
o Never move the gear selector lever from "P" or "N" to any other position with the acceler- ator pedal depressed.
o Never move the gear selector lever into "P" when the vehicle is in motion.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped be- fore you attempt to shift into "R".
o Never take the car out of gear and coast down a hill. This may be extremely hazard-ous. Always leave the car in gear when moving.
o Do not "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and malfunction. Instead,
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.
