LOW FUEL LEVEL WARNING LAMP
The low fuel warning lamp serves to warn the driver that the remaining fuel quantity is approxi- mately 9 litres and that the vehicle should be refuelled. If the vehicle is driven for an extended period with the low fuel warning lamp illuminated there exists a possibility that misfiring due to fuel
defective, approximately fifty per cent of thenormal braking performance will be available. If failure of one of the circuits occurs, the required amount of pedal effort, pedal travel and stopping distance will be increased. Use of the gearbox is recommended to assist in bringing the vehicle to rest. The vehicle must not be driven once brake failure has occurred until the system has been repaired and is functioning normally. The braking system employs a vacuum servo in order that the pedal efforts are reduced. Power for the servo is derived from the engine and therefore, in the event of the engine stopping or the vehicle being towed, pedal efforts will be substantially increased.
SB210M1-E CHARGING SYSTEM WARNING LAMP
The charging system warning lamp should illumi- nate when the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position and should be extinguished when the engine is started. If the lamp fails to illuminate when the ignition is turned "ON" or fails to extin- guish after starting the engine, the nearest Hyundai dealer should be contacted. If the lamp illuminates whilst the vehicle is being driven, stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so and check the condition of the generator drive belt. If the belt is in place and the tension is satisfactory, the advice of a Hyundai dealer should be sought.
B260H01GK-EAT PARKING BRAKE/BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING LAMP
WARNING: In the event of problems being suspected with the braking system, the advice of the nearest Hyundai dealer must be sought be- fore the vehicle is driven. Driving the vehicle with either an electrical or hydraulic braking system defect may be dangerous, resulting in accident or personal injury. Warning lamp operation The parking brake/brake fluid level warning lamp will be illuminated whenever the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" or "START" position when the parking brake is applied and must be extin- guished in a three seconds after the engine starts. If the warning lamp fails to extinguish or illumi- nates at any other time, the vehicle must be brought to rest in a safe location and the level of brake fluid in the reservoir checked. If the fluid level is incorrect, fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications should be added. If, after correcting the brake fluid level, the warning lamp continues to be illuminated, the advice of the nearest Hyundai dealer must be sought before the vehicle is driven again. The Hyundai Lantra is equipped with a diagonally split dual braking system which will ensure that in the event of one of the brake circuits becoming SB210N2-E
HATCHBACK DOOR OPEN WARNING LAMP
The hatchback door warning lamp indicates when the hatchback door is open or is not fully closed. Ensure that the lamp has extinguished prior to driving the vehicle.CAUTION: If the drive belt (generator belt) is loosen, broken, or missing while the vehicle is driv- ing, there may be a serious malfunction, en- gine could overheat because this belt also drives the water pump.

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.

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.

View from below the vehicle 13. Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long
or too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat, resulting in reduced braking efficiency.
14. When going down a hill, shift into a lower gear and use the engine braking effect.When ascending a long grade, downshift the transmission to a lower gear and reduce speed to reduce chances of engine over- loading and/or overheating.
15. If you have to stop while going uphill, do not hold the vehicle in place by pressing on theaccelerator. This can cause the automatic transmission to overheat. Use the parking brake or footbrake.
16. The maximum permissible overhang of the coupling point : 38.98 in.(990 mm).
NOTE: When towing check transaxle fluid more frequently. CAUTION: If overheating should occur when towing,(temperature gauge reads near red zone), taking the following action may reduce or eliminate the problem.
1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Reduce highway speed.
3. Select a lower gear when going uphill.
4. While in stop and go traffic, place the gear selection in park or neutral and idle the engine at a higher speed.
fifth gear (manual transmission) or overdrive (automatic transmission).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pressure of all tires on the trailer and your car. Low tirepressure can seriously affect the handling. Also check the spare tire.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more af-
fected by crosswind and buffeting. When being passed by a large vehicle, keep a constant speed and steer straight ahead. If there is too much wind buffeting slow down to get out of the other vehicle's air turbulence.
8. When parking your car and trailer, especial- ly on a hill, be sure to follow all the normalprecautions. Turn your front wheel into the curb, set the parking brake firmly, and put the transmission in 1st or Reverse (manual) or Park (automatic). In addition, place wheel chocks at each of the trailer's tires.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving, and then applythe trailer brake controller by hand to be sure the brakes are working. This lets you check your electrical connection at the same time.
10. During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure, and that thelights and any trailer brakes are still working.

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.

SD060A1-E IN THE EVENT OF A PUNCTURE If a puncture occurs whilst driving the vehicle:
1. Bring the car to rest as soon as it is safe to do so and with the minimum amount ofbraking required which will assist in main- taining the maximum amount of control. The vehicle should be parked wherever possible upon firm level ground to facilitate wheel changing.
2. If the vehicle is creating a hazard and the road conditions do not permit the wheel to bechanged safely, assistance should be sought.
3. Passengers must not be allowed to remain inside the vehicle during wheel changing. Ifa puncture occurs whilst the vehicle is on a SD070A1-E CHANGING A FLAT TYRE
7. Proceed with caution until it is established
that the engine is operating normally. If the engine overheats repeatedly, the advice of a Hyundai dealer should be sought.
CAUTION: Serious loss of coolant indicates there is a leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundai dealer.
It is of the utmost importance that care is exer- cised when changing road wheels. Ensure that the parking brake is set and that the gear shift lever is in reverse (P, if the vehicle has automatic transmission).
D040A01GK-EAT TEMPORARY SPARE TYREThe following instructions for the temporary spare tyre should be observed:
1. Check inflation pressure as soon as practical
after installing the spare tyre, and adjust to the specified pressure. The tyre pressure should be periodically checked and maintained at the specified pressure while the tyre is stored.
2. The spare tyre should only be used temporari-
ly and should be returned to the luggagecompartment as soon as the original tyre can be repaired or replaced.
3. Continuous use at speeds of over 50 mph (80 km/h) is not recommended. 4. As the temporary spare tyre is specifically
designed for your car, it should not be used onany other vehicle.
5. The temporary spare tyre should not be used on any other wheels, nor should standard tyre, snow tyre, wheel covers or trim rings be used with the temporary spare wheel. If such use is attempted, damage to these items or other car components may occur.
6. The temporary spare tyre pressure should be checked once a month while the tyre is stored.
CAUTION:
o Do not use snow chains with your tempo- rary spare tyre.
o Do not use more than one temporary spare

SG050A1-E ENGINE COOLANT CHECKING AND REPLACING WARNING: Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot, since the system is pressurized and coolant may be ejected from the radiator resulting in scalding. SG050B1-E Coolant recommendations
Only ethylene glycol based coolant with a corro- sion inhibitor suited to aluminium alloy engine components should be used in the cooling sys- tem. No further additives or inhibitors should be used. The coolant specific gravity should be checked as prescribed in the maintenance sched- ule to ensure adequate frost and corrosion pro- tection. In addition, the engine coolant must be replaced at the specified interval since the corro- sion inhibitor properties deteriorate with time. It is important to note that whilst an increase in the concentration of anti freeze gives an increase in the level of frost protection, a solution which is in excess of 65% anti freeze will result in reduced frost protection and engine overheating. There- fore the recommended concentration of 50% should not be exceeded for general use. The use of methanol based anti freeze com- pounds may result in engine overheating and will invalidate the vehicle warranty. NOTE: It is imperative that vehicles fitted with an air conditioning system have a coolant concen- tration of the recommended strength at all times. The use of the air conditioning system when the cooling system is filled with water only will result in the heater matrix freezing and subsequently bursting.SG050C1-E Engine Coolant Level The engine coolant level may be observed through the side of the plastic coolant reservoir (expansion tank) when the engine is cold. If the level is below the "LOW" mark, add coolant of the correct concentration until the level is between the "LOW" and "Full" marks. If the level falls below the "LOW" mark on a regular basis despite being topped up, consult a Hyundai dealer. SG050D1-E To Change the Engine Coolant The engine coolant should be changed at those intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5. NOTE: Care should be taken to ensure that coolant is not allowed to spill onto the paintwork since the finish may become damaged. If coolant spillage occurs, the affected area should be rinsed thoroughly with water.
1. Park the vehicle on level ground and ensure
that the parking brake is firmly applied, and the engine allowed to cool. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS OPERATION WHILST THE ENGINE IS HOT SINCE BURN-ING OR SCALDING MAY RESULT.
2. Prepare a suitable receptacle to collect the displaced coolant and position this under the radiator drain tap.
