SB215F1-E TACHOMETER
SB215B1-E ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE engine is hot may cause hot water and steam to be ejected from the radiator resulting in burns and scalding. The radiator cap must only be removed when the engine has cooled. Do not add cold water to a hot engine to avoid the possibility of engine damage. The use of plain water in the cooling system is not rec- ommended since the aluminium components of the cooling system require the use of a corrosion inhibitor found in the recommended Ethylene Glycol type anti freeze solutions.
The engine coolant temperature gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature and will, under normal circumstances, give an indication in the "Normal" or centre portion of the scale. Should the indication move into the upper or "Hot" por- tion of the scale, engine overheating is indicated. Under these circumstances, the vehicle should be brought to rest as soon as is safe to do so and the engine turned off. Once the engine has cooled somewhat, the coolant level and the condition of the generator/water pump drive belt should be checked. If the cause of the overheating cannot be readily established, the assistance of a Hyundai dealer should be sought. WARNING: The engine cooling system is pressurized and removal of the radiator cap when the The tachometer registers the speed of the engine in revolutions per minute (R.P.M.). CAUTION: The maximum safe engine operating speed is indicated by the white zone of the tachometer scale. The engine should not be operated beyond the beginning of this zone or serious engine damage may result.
SB215C1-E SPEEDOMETER The speedometer indicates the vehicle speed in both miles and kilometres per hour.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 11
o Remember, your car does not require ex-
tended warm-up. As soon as the engine is running smoothly, you can drive away. In very cold weather, however, give your en- gine a slightly longer warm-up period.
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 at the recommended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air conditioning system is operated by the en-gine power so your fuel economy is reduced when you use it.
SC160A1-F SMOOTH CORNERINGAvoid braking or gear changing in corners, especially when roads are wet. Ideally, corners should always be taken under gentle accelera- tion. If you follow these suggestions, tire wear will be held to a minimum. SC170A1-E WINTER MOTORINGThe onset of winter conditions subject motor vehicles to greater operating demands. There- fore, the following suggestions will assist in maintaining peak performance and reliability during these periods: ZC170B1-E Electrical SystemWinter conditions impose severe demands upon vehicle electrical systems, particularly the charg- ing circuit. The battery condition and perfor- mance along with the alternator performance and drive belt condition should be checked prior to the onset of winter. ZC170C1-E Anti-freeze/Corrosion inhibitorThe 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 be checked 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 the engine. Therefore, never, drain the system and 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 and subsequently bursting with the refrigeration sys- tem in use.
ZC170D1-E Door LocksShould the door lock mechanism become fro- zen, a proprietary lock de-icer should be used. Alternatively, warming the door key may thaw the door lock. However, the key should be handled carefully to avoid burning the fingers. Never attempt to thaw a frozen door lock using hot water, since the water will eventually freeze and compound the problem. NOTE: The proper temperature for using the immo-bilizer key is from -40°F (-40°C) to 176°F (80°C). If you heat the immobilizer key over 176°F (80°C) to open the frozen lock, it may cause damage to the transponder in its head. SC170E1-E Windscreen Washers and WipersThe windscreen washer bottle should be filled with a solution of water and a proprietary winter screen wash additive. The windscreen wipers should not be used if the blades are frozen to the windscreen or if they are covered with snow, 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 to the paintwork may result.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
3-2 4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is
missing. If it is not missing, check to see that it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be satisfac- tory, check for coolant leaking from the radia- tor, hoses or under the car. (If the air condi- tioning had been in use, it is normal for cold water to be draining from it).
WARNING: Whilst the engine is running, keep hands and clothing away from moving parts such as the 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 dealer for assistance.
WARNING:Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot since steam and boiling water may be ejected from the radiator resulting in burns or scalding.
6. If the cause of the overheating cannot be found, wait until the engine temperature has returned to normal. Then, if coolant has been lost, carefully remove the radiator cap and add water to bring the fluid level in the reser- voir up to the base of the radiator fill opening. Fill the coolant expansion tank to the halfway mark.
WARNING: Motor vehicle batteries contain sulphuric acid and emit hydrogen gas. Protective clothing should be worn and care exercised to prevent the acid from coming into contact with skin or clothing and the vehicle. Naked lights should not be permitted in the vicinity of the battery. Care should be exercised to prevent sparks occurring during connection. If acid acciden- tally comes into contact with skin or eyes, the affected area should immediately be flushed with copious amounts of water 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 vehicles are not touching.
2. Turn off all unnecessary electrical equipment 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 the other end to the positive (+) terminal of the dis- charged battery.
5. Attach the black jump cable to the negative
(-) terminal of the booster battery, and the other end to a ground point within the engine compartment of the vehicle with the flat bat- tery. Do not connect to the negative battery terminal of the flat battery since sparks may be generated with the subsequent risk of explosion. 6. Raise the booster vehicle engine speed to
2,000 r.p.m. and start the engine of the vehi- cle with the flat battery.
7. Remove jump cables in the reverse order of installation (black cable first).
CAUTION: If the jump cable is incorrectly installed, dam- age to the vehicle electrical system may oc- cur, in particular the electronic components such as the Fuel Injection system computer and the Automatic Transmission computer. The battery must never be disconnected whilst the engine is running. SD040A1-E IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATSIf 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) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
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 bonnet until the cool-ant has stopped running or the steam- ing has stopped. If there is no visible loss of coolant and no steam, leave the engine run- ning and check to be sure the engine cooling fan is operating. If the fan is not running, turn the engine off.

OWNER MAINTENANCE
6-8 CAUTION: Sparking plugs must only be cleaned using purpose designed equipment. Wire brushing may damage the centre electrodeinsulator causing mis-firing to occur. Only the correct grade of sparking plug should be used. Use of an incorrect grade may result in serious engine damage.
3. With the heater temperature control set to the
"HOT" position, remove the radiator cap and open the radiator drain tap.
4. When the engine coolant has drained com- pletely, close the drain tap ensuring that this is not over tightened.
5. Prepare a suitable quantity of new engine
coolant (refer to section 9) and pour this into the radiator.
6. Start the engine with the radiator cap still removed and continue to add coolant as the level decreases as air is expelled from the system. When the level remains constant, replace the radiator cap and replenish the coolant reservoir.
7. When the engine is hot, check to ensure that no coolant leaks are present.
WARNING: The cooling fan is controlled by engine cool- ant temperature and may sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant temperature decreases, the fan will automati- cally shut off. This is a normal condition. G060B02GK-EAT SPARKING PLUG REPLACEMENT This operation should only be performed when the engine is cold.
1. Remove the engine rocker cover.NOTE: It is recommended that the spark plug for Engine 2.7L should be changed by an autho- rized Hyundai dealer.

SG120C2-E Brake Fluid Recommendations Only brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications or higher may be used in the braking system. Care should be taken to ob- serve the instructions and precautions printed upon the container. SG120D1-E Brake Fluid LevelThe fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir should be checked periodically. The level should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the side of the reservoir. If the level is at or below the "MIN" mark, fluid should be added having care- fully cleaned the area surrounding the reservoir cap to ensure that dirt is not allowed to enter the system. It should be borne in mind that the brake fluid level will decrease slightly as the friction linings of the pads and shoes become worn and that this is a normal condition.
higher mark. If additional fluid is required, thisshould be poured into the transmission through the dipstick tube with the aid of a suitable funnel. WARNING: The cooling fan is controlled by engine cool- ant temperature and may sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant temperature decreases, the fan will automati- cally shut off. This is a normal condition.
CAUTION:The automatic transmission unit is a preci- sion engineered assembly and correct op- eration is dependant upon the exclusion of dirt and lint from the unit. Therefore, it is imperative that only lint free cloth (eg nylon) is used for wiping the dipstick and that the area around the dipstick is thoroughly clean prior to level checking or adding fluid. Fluid Capacity The total fluid capacity of the transmission unit is 7.8 litres.
