1- 10 SB090E1-E Injured Persons A seat belt should be used when an injured person is being transported. For specific recom- mendations, the advice of a qualified Medical Practioner should be sought.
SB480A1-E FOLDING REAR SEAT (Not all models) The rear seatbacks may be folded to facilitate the carriage of long items or to increase the luggage capacity of the vehicle.
o To unlock the seatback, release the catch by
operating the lock knob, pull the seatback forward and lower to the folded position.
o When the seatback is returned to the upright
position, ensure that the latching mechanism has engaged and that the seat may not move unintentionally.
o Luggage which is carried within the passenger
compartment must be securely restrained in order to prevent injury in the event of sudden deceleration. WARNING: The folding rear seats are intended to allow the carriage of longer objects than could otherwise be accommodated. Do not allow passengers to sit on top of the folded-down seatback whilst the car is in motion since the folded seat does not provide a suitable sitting facility and no seat belts are available for use. Objects carried on the folded seatback should not extend higher than the top of the front seats and must be securely restrained to prevent injury or damage during sudden de- celeration.
SB090A1-E SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS Seat belts should be worn at all times by all occupants front and rear. The possibility of injury or the severity of injuries suffered in the event of an accident will be greatly reduced by the wear- ing of seat belts. In addition the following recommendations should be observed. SB090B1-E Babies/Small Children Babies and small children must be restrained using a restraint system specifically designed for this purpose. Under no circumstances should a child be carried in the vehicle without the use of a suitable restraint which meets the regulations in force in the country where the vehicle is in operation. SB090C1-E Larger Children Larger children should occupy the rear seat and be restrained at all times. The restraint may take the form of a special safety belt or the original factory fitted seat belt used in conjunction with an approved booster cushion depending upon the size and weight of the child. Under no circum- stances should children be allowed to travel standing, kneeling or lying on the seat. Never allow children to ride in the front passen- ger seat. SB090O1-E Pregnant Women The use of a seat belt is recommended for pregnant women. The seat belt should be worn as low and snugly as possible across the hips, not across the abdomen. A qualified Medical Practitioner should be consulted for further infor- mation.

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.

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.

NOTE:
o The total gross vehicle weight with trailer
must not exceed the Gross Vehicle WeightRating (GVWR) shown on the vehicle identification plate (see page 8-1). The total gross vehicle weight is the com- bined weight of the vehicle, driver, all passengers and their luggage, cargo, hitch, trailer tongue load and other op- tional equipment.
o The front or rear axle weight must not exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating(GAWR) shown on the vehicle identifica- tion plate (see page 8-1). it is possible that your towing package does not ex- ceed the GVWR but exceeds the GAWR. Improper trailer loading and/or too much luggage in the boot can overload the rear axle. Redistribute the load and check the axle weight again.
sure rather than as a result of the distancestowed. The inside walls of the tyres should be inspected along with the outside walls for crack- ing and damage. The trailer wheel nut torque must be checked on a regular basis, preferably before each towing session. The trailer hitch and the safety catch mecha- nism must be maintained in good working or- der. The trailer break away cable or chain should be inspected for damage and should be attached to the vehicle towing attachment each and every time the trailer is hitched to the vehicle. Whilst towing, the performance of the vehicle will be reduced in terms of acceleration, braking and handling due to the increased loads placed upon the vehicle. The driver should anticipate the change in characteristics and adjust the driving style in keeping with these changes. Care should be exercised when cornering and braking to prevent the outfit becoming uncon- trollable by reducing cornering speeds and al- lowing increased braking distances. The driver should exercise care to ensure that when pulling away from rest particularly on uphill gradients the clutch unit is not subjected to excessive slippage which will reduce the useful life of this component. Use of the "Over- drive Off" "2" and "L" positions when driving vehicles with automatic transmission will assist with braking performance when long down hill gradients are encountered. Improved accelera-tion performance will be available by selecting "Overdrive Off","2", or "1" depending upon road speed if it is found that the transmission unit makes an undesirable upshift whilst hill climb- ing or overtaking. The transmission unit should be operated in "D" with the Overdrive "On" under normal circumstances to enhance fuel economy and reduce noise and engine wear.
