STARTING
Normal starting with either a cold or warm
engine is obtained without pumping or depress-
ing the accelerator pedal. Simply turn the key tothe "START" position and release when theengine starts. After the engine has started,allow the engine to run for 10 to 20 secondsprior to placing the vehicle in gear. The starter should not be operated for more
than 15 seconds at a time. Wait 15-30 secondsbetween starting attempts to protect the starterfrom overheating.
WARNING: Never run the engine in a closed or poorly
ventilated area any longer than is needed to move your car in or out of the area. The
carbon monoxide gas emitted is odorlessand can cause serious injury or death. C050B02X-GAT
Normal Conditions:
The Starting Procedure:
1. Insert key, and fasten the seat belt.
2. Depress the clutch pedal fully (manual transaxle) and place the gearshift lever in neutral (manual transaxle) or the selectorlever (automatic transaxle) in "P" (park)position.
3. After turning the ignition key to the "ON" position, make certain all warning lights andgauges are functioning properly before start-
ing the engine.
WARNING: Be sure that the clutch is fully depressed
when starting a manual transaxle vehicle. Otherwise, there is the potential to cause
damage to the vehicle or injury to someone
inside or outside the vehicle as a result ofthe forward or backward movement of the
vehicle that will occur if the clutch is notdepressed when the vehicle is started.
4. Turn the ignition key to the "Start" position and release it when the engine starts. C070A04X-GAT
OPERATING THE MANUAL TRANSAXLE
C070A01X
Your Hyundai's manual transaxle has a con-
ventional shift pattern. This shift pattern is also imprinted on the shift knob. The transaxle isfully synchronized in all forward gears so shift-
ing to either a higher or a lower gear is easilyaccomplished.
CAUTION:
o Do not attempt to engage reverse gear when the car is moving.
o To avoid damaging the selector mecha- nism, do not use the gear shift lever as ahand rest. Release the lever immediatelythe shift is completed.
o To avoid premature clutch wear, do not use the clutch pedal as a foot rest, anddo not hold the vehicle on a gradientusing the clutch.

Using the Clutch of Manual transaxle The clutch should be pressed all the way to the floor before shifting, then released slowly. Theclutch pedal should be always used after fullyreturning to the original position. Do not restyour foot on the clutch pedal while driving. Thiscan cause unnecessary wear. Do not partiallyengage the clutch to hold the car on an incline.This causes unnecessary wear. Use the park-ing brake to hold the car on an incline. Do notoperate the clutch pedal rapidly and repeatedly. o Slow down when you encounter cross winds.
This gives you much better control of yourcar.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped be- fore you attempt to shift into reverse. Thetransaxle can be damaged if you do not. To
shift into reverse, depress the clutch (manualtransaxle), move the shift lever to neutral,
wait three seconds, then shift to the reverseposition.
o Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be especially careful whenbraking, accelerating or shifting gears. On aslippery surface, an abrupt change in ve-hicle speed can cause the drive wheels tolose traction and the vehicle to go out ofcontrol.
CAUTION:
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 travellanes.
o In a collision crash, on unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than aperson wearing a seatbelt.
o Ensure that the engine is not over-revved
by upshifting.
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 encoun- tered, increased caution should be ex-ecuted when gear changing, braking oraccelerating. Abrupt changes in speedmay cause a loss of traction.
o To shift into reverse, rest the lever in neutral for at least 3 seconds after yourcar is completely stopped. Then movethe lever into the reverse position.
o During cold weather, shifting may be dif- ficult until the transaxle lubricant haswarmed up. This is normal and not harm-ful to the transaxle.
o If you 've come to a complete stop and it's hard to shift into 1 st
or R(Reverse),
put the shift lever in N(Neutral) positionand let up on the clutch. Press the clutchpedal back down, and then shift into 1 st
or R(Reverse) gear position.
o Do not use the shift lever as a handrest during driving, as this can result in pre-mature wear of the transaxle shift forks. C070D01X-GAT
Good Driving Practices
o Never take the car out of gear and coast down a hill. This is extremely hazardous. Always leave the car in gear.
o Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and malfunction. Instead,when you are driving down a long hill, slow
down and shift to a lower gear. When you dothis, engine braking will help slow the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. This will help avoid over-revving the engine,which can cause damage.
WARNING: When downshifting from fifth gear to fourth gear, caution should be taken not to inad-vertently press the gear shift lever sideways
in such a manner that second gear is en-gaged. Such over revving of the engine may possibly cause engine damage.

GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES
WARNING: Do not allow passengers to sit on the cargo area while the car is moving as this is not aproper seating position and no seat belts
are available for use when the seat back isfolded down. This could result in seriousinjury or death in case of an accident or a
sudden stop. Objects should not extendhigher than the top of the front seats. This
could allow cargo to slide forward and causeinjury or damage during sudden stops.
o After being parked, check to be sure the parking brake is not engaged and that theparking brake indicator light is out beforedriving away.
o Driving through water may get the brakes wet. They can also get wet when the car iswashed. Wet brakes can be dangerous!
Your car will not stop as quickly if the brakesare wet and it may also pull to one side. Todry the brakes, apply the brakes lightly untilthe braking action returns to normal, takingcare to keep the car under control at alltimes. If the braking action does not return to
normal, stop as soon as it is safe to do soand call your Hyundai dealer for assistance.
o Don't coast down hills with the car out of gear. This is extremely hazardous. Keep thecar in gear at all times, use the brakes toslow down, then shift to a lower gear so thatengine braking will help you maintain a safespeed.
o Exercise extreme caution when driving on a
slippery surface. Be especially careful whenbraking, accelerating or shifting gears. On aslippery surface, an abrupt change in ve-hicle speed can cause the drive wheels tolose traction and the vehicle to go out ofcontrol.
o Turn the overdrive switch on for good fuel economy and smooth driving. If engine brak-ing is needed in the "D" range or if repeatedupshifting and downshifting between 3rd and4th gear is needed when climbing a gentleslope, it is recommended that the overdriveswitch be turned off. Turn the overdriveswitch back on immediately afterward.
CAUTION:
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 travellanes.
o In a collision crash, on unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than aperson wearing a seatbelt.
C090N02A-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 whenmoving.
o Do not "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and malfunction. Instead,when you are driving down a long hill, slowdown and shift to a lower gear. When you dothis, 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 keepthe car from moving.
drive switch is turned off, the transaxle will notupshift to the overdrive gear. For normal driv-ing, the selector lever should be left in the "D"position and the overdrive switch turned on.
If you need to accelerate rapidly, press the
accelerator pedal all the way to the floor. Thetransaxle will automatically shift to a lower gear,depending on the vehicle speed and load.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY 3-5
Wheel nut Wrench
The wheel nuts should be loosened slightly
before raising the car. To loosen the nuts, turnthe wrench handle counterclockwise. Whendoing this, be sure that the socket is seatedcompletely over the nut so it cannot slip off. Formaximum leverage position the wrench so thehandle is to the right as shown in the drawing.Then, while holding the wrench near the end ofthe handle, pull up on it with steady pressure.Do not remove the nuts at this time. Just loosenthem about one-half turn.

4. Put the Jack in Place
The base of the jack should be placed on firm,
level ground. The jack should be positioned asshown in the drawing. D060F02E-AAT
5. Raising the Car D060G01A-AAT
6. Changing Wheels
AS30120A
After inserting a wrench bar into the wheel nut
wrench, install the wrench bar into the jack as shown in the drawing. To raise the vehicle, turnthe wheel nut wrench clockwise. As the jackbegins to raise the vehicle, double check that itis properly positioned and will not slip. If thejack is on soft ground or sand, you may find itnecessary to place a board, brick, flat stone orother object under the base of the jack to keepit from sinking. Raise the car high enough so that the fully
inflated spare tire can be installed. To do this,you will need more ground clearance than isrequired to remove the flat tire.
WARNING: Do not get under the car when it is sup-
ported by the jack. This is very dangerous as the vehicle could fall and cause seriousinjury or death. No one should stay in thecar while the jack is being used. Use the wrench to loosen the wheel nuts, thenremove them with your fingers. Remove thewheel cover (if installed) from the wheel andslide the wheel off the studs and lay it flat so itcannot roll away. To put the wheel on the hub,pick up the spare tire, line up the holes with thestuds and slide the wheel onto them. If this isdifficult, tip the wheel slightly and get the tophole in the wheel lined up with the top stud.Then jiggle the wheel back and forth until thewheel can be slid over the other studs.
