DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
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

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
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,

that the transmission selector is at the "P" or"N" position.
2. Check the battery terminals and connections
to ensure that these are clean and also tight.
3. If the ignition warning lamps dim when the
engine is cranked and the battery terminals have been checked, a discharged battery is indicated.
4. Do not attempt to push or tow start the ve-
hicle, refer to "Jump Starting" for information regarding engine starting when the battery is discharged.

3. IN CASE OF EMER-
GENCY
SD020A1-E IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START Seek assistance from the nearest Hyundai dealer with regard to the method of ignition and fuel system diagnosis. CAUTION: If the engine refuses to start, no attempt should be made to push or tow start the vehicle. Vehicles with automatic transmis- sion or fuel injection will not be able to be started in this manner since no drive is trans- mitted through the automatic transmission whilst the engine is not running, and in the case of fuel injected derivatives, the fuel pump will not operate under tow start conditions. In addition, if the vehicle is equipped with an exhaust catalyst, damage to the catalyst may result if the vehicle is tow started. SD020B1-E IF THE ENGINE CANNOT BECRANKED
1. If the vehicle is fitted with manual transmis- sion, ensure that the clutch pedal is depressedwhilst cranking the engine. If the vehicle is fitted with automatic transmission, ensure SD020C1-F If Engine Turns Over Normally but Does Not Start
1. Check fuel Level
2. Check all connectors at ignition coil and spark
plugs.Replace any that may be disconnected or loose.
3. Check fuel line in the engine room.
4. If engine still refuses to start, call a Hyundai dealer or seek other qualified assistance.
AD020D1-A If Engine Stalls While Driving
1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping a straight line. Move cautionsly off the road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Try starting the engine again. If your vehicle will not start, see "IF THE ENGINE WILLNOT START". SD030A1-E JUMP STARTING

o The vehicle must not be towed with the front wheels on the ground for more than thirty miles.
SD100A2-E Automatic Transmission Vehicle
o NOT OK FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE QUIPPED VEHICLE
o OK FOR MANUAL TRANSAXLE
The vehicle may be towed by the conventional method using the towing eye at the front of the vehicle as an attachment point. In addition, a suspended tow may be given to the front of the vehicle without an ambulance. In the event of a suspended tow being given to the rear of the vehicle, the use of an ambulance is imper- ative.
o OK FOR AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL
TRANSAXLE EQUIPPED VEHICLE
CAUTION: The following restriction must be observed in order to avoid serious damage to the trans- mission. The vehicle must never be towed from the rear with the front wheels on the ground. The vehicle must not be towed until transmis- sion fluid has been added to bring the level up to the "HOT" marking on the dipstick. (The level will need to be reduced again after towing). The vehicle must not be towed at speeds faster than 25 mph. or distances greater than fifty miles. The general points regarding the steering lock etc. described in the preceding section (Manual transmission vehicle) should be observed.

o OK FOR AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL
TRANSAXLE EQUIPPED VEHICLE WITH NO DAMAGE
The vehicle may be towed by the conventionalmethod using the towing eye at the front of the vehicle as an attachment point. In addition, a suspended tow with or without an ambulance may be used with either the front or the rear wheels being suspended, provided the above caution is observed. In addition, the following points must be noted:
o If towing by conventional means, the ignition key must be at the "ACC" position, otherwise the steering lock will be activated.
o Because the brake system and steering sys- tem power assistance is derived from the engine, the amount of effort required to stop or steer the vehicle will be greater than normal.
o If a suspended tow is being given to the rear, the ignition key must be at the "ACC" position HGK200

OWNER MAINTENANCE
6-18 NOTE: Grinding noise from power steering pump may be heard immediately after the engine is started in extremely cold condition (below -20°C). In this case, if the noise stops during warm up, there is no abnormal function in the system. This is due to a power steering fluid characteristic in extremely cold conditions. FLUID RECOMMENDATION
Only automatic transmission fluid meeting the specification of PSF-3 should be used in the power steering system.
SG230A1-E POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL The power steering fluid level should be checked daily. To check the power steering fluid level, be sure the ignition is "OFF", then check to make certain that the power steering fluid level is between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluid reservoir.
