B740D01A-AAT Operation Tips
o If the interior of the car is hot when you first
get in, open the windows for a few minutes to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air conditioning sys- tem, keep all windows closed to keep hot airout.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy traffic, shift to a lower gear. This increases engine speed,which in turn increases the speed of the airconditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air conditioner off to avoid the possibility of the engine over-heating.
o During winter months or in periods when the air conditioning is not used regularly, run theair conditioning once every month for a fewminutes. This will help circulate the lubricantsand keep your system in peak operatingcondition.
For dehumidified heating:
o Turn on the fan control switch.
o Turn on the air conditioning switch.
o Set the air intake control to the position.
o Set the air flow control to the position.
o Adjust the fan control to the desired speed.
o For more rapid action, set the fan at one of the
higher speeds.
o Adjust the temperature control to provide the desired amount of warmth.

WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open the windows immediately. o Do not inhale exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation. o Be sure the exhaust system does not leak. The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If you hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the car, have theexhaust system checked as soon as possible by your Hyundai dealer. o Do not run the engine in an enclosed area. Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the engine in your garage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out. o Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car. If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an open area with the air intake set at "Fresh" and the fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior.If you must drive with the tail gate open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary: 1. Close all windows. 2. Open side vents.3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds. To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the windshie ld
are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.

Check Spark Plugs and Ignition System
Inspect your spark plugs as described in Sec- tion 6 and replace them if necessary. Alsocheck all ignition wiring and components to besure they are not cracked, worn or damaged inany way.
C160D01A-AAT
Check Battery and Cables
Winter puts additional burdens on the batterysystem. Visually inspect the battery and cablesas described in Section 6. The level of chargein your battery can be checked by your Hyundaidealer or a service station. C160E01A-AAT
Change to "Winter Weight" Oil if Necessary
In some climates it is recommended that a lower viscosity "winter weight" oil be used dur-ing cold weather. See Section 9 for recommen-dations. If you aren't sure what weight oil youshould use, consult your Hyundai dealer. C160G01A-GAT
To Keep Locks from Freezing To keep the locks from freezing, squirt an approved de-icer fluid or glycerine into the keyopening. If a lock is covered with ice, squirt itwith an approved de-icing fluid to remove the
Failure to do so may adversely affect the safety
and handling of your car. Speeding, rapid accel-eration, sudden brake applications, and sharpturns are potentially very hazardous practices.During deceleration, use engine braking to thefullest extent. Sudden brake applications onsnowy or icy roads may cause skids to occur.
You need to keep sufficient distance betweenthe vehicle in front and your vehicle. Also, applythe brake gently.
It should be noted that installing tire chains on
the tire will provide a greater driving force, butwill not prevent side skids.
NOTE: Tire chains are not legal in all provinces.
Check province laws before fitting tire chains.
C160C01A-AAT
Use High Quality Ethylene Glycol Coolant
Your Hyundai is delivered with high quality
ethylene glycol coolant in the cooling system. It is the only type of coolant that should be usedbecause it helps prevent corrosion in the cool-ing system, lubricates the water pump andprevents freezing. Be sure to replace or replen-ish your coolant in accordance with the main-tenance schedule in Section 5. Before winter,have your coolant tested to assure that itsfreezing point is sufficient for the temperaturesanticipated during the winter.

and installed by a qualified technician. DO NOTUSE A HITCH DESIGNED FOR TEMPORARYINSTALLATION AND NEVER USE ONE THATATTACHES ONLY TO THE BUMPER.
C170A01A-AAT
HIGHER SPEED MOTORING Pre-Trip Inspections 1. Tires: Adjust the tire inflation pressures to specifica-
tion driving. Low tire inflation pressures will result in overheating and possible failure of thetires.
Avoid using worn or damaged tires which may
result in reduced traction or tire failure.
NOTE: Never exceed the maximum tire inflation
pressure shown on the tires.
2. Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil:High speed travel consumes 1.5 times more
fuel than urban motoring. Do not forget to check both engine coolant and engine oil. 3. Drive belt:
A loose or damaged drive belt may result in
overheating of the engine.
C180A01A-AAT
USE OF LIGHTS Check your lights regularly for correct operation
and always keep them clean. When driving during the day in conditions of poor visibility, itis helpful to drive with headlights on low beam.This enables you to be seen as well as to see.
rarily while you put the gear selector lever in"P" (automatic transaxle) or in first or reversegear (manual transaxle) and block the rearwheels so the car cannot roll. Then release theparking brake.
C160J01A-AAT
Don't Let Ice and Snow Accumulate Underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice can build
up under the fenders and interfere with the steering. When driving in severe winter condi-tions where this may happen, you should peri-odically check underneath the car to be surethe movement of the front wheels and thesteering components are not obstructed.
C160K01A-AAT
Carry Emergency Equipment
Depending on the severity of the weather where
you drive your car, you should carry appropri-ate emergency equipment. Some of the itemsyou may want to carry include tire chains, towstraps or chains, flashlight, emergency flares,sand, a shovel, jumper cables, a windowscraper, gloves, ground cloth, coveralls, a blan-ket, etc.

CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE
4-4 Take a piece of cheese cloth and using any mild soap and lukewarm water, work up a goodlather. Thoroughly wash the leather. Wipe cleanwith a slightly damp cloth and dry with softcloth. Do this as often as the leather becomessoiled. During tanning operations, sufficient oils are incorporated through processing that none needbe applied during the life of the leather. Oil
applied to the finished surface will in no wayhelp the leather and may do more harm thangood. Varnishes and furniture polishes shouldnever be used under any conditions. E040C01A-AAT
Cleaning the Carpets
Use a foam-type carpet cleaner. Cleaners of this type are available in aerosol cans in liquidform or powder. Read the instructions and fol-low them exactly. Using a vacuum cleaner withthe appropriate attachment, remove as muchdirt from the carpets as possible. Apply thefoam following the manufacturer's directions,then rub in overlapping circles. Do not addwater. These cleaners work best when thecarpet is kept as dry as possible. E050A01A-AAT
ANY QUESTIONS? If you have any questions about the care of
your car, consult your Hyundai dealer. E040D01A-AAT
