DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 9
o Apply the parking brake only when the vehi-
cle is at rest.
o Since the power assistance provided by the brake servo is derived from the engine, coasting with the engine turned off or towingof the vehicle with the engine turned off willresult in greatly increased pedal pressuresbeing required to stop the vehicle.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with the accelerator pedal. This can cause thetransaxle to overheat. Always use the brakepedal 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, ABSwill 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 beheard in the engine compartment while brak-ing. These conditions are normal and indi-cate that the anti-lock brake system is func-tioning properly. WARNING: ABS will not prevent accidents due to im-
proper or dangerous driving manoeuvres. Even though vehicle control is improvedduring emergency braking, always maintaina safe distance between you and objectsahead. Vehicle speeds should always bereduced during extreme road conditions.
The braking distance for cars equipped with
an anti-lock braking system may be longerthan for those without it in the followingroad conditions.
o Rough, gravel or snow-covered roads.
o With tire chains installed.
o On roads where the road surface is pit- ted or has different surface height.
These roads should be driven at reduced
speeds. The safety features of an ABS equipped vehicle should not be tested byhigh speed driving or cornering. This couldendanger the safety of yourself or others. C300A03Y-EAT
TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS) (Not all models)
HGK156A-D
On slippery road surfaces, the traction control system (TCS) limits the drive wheels from spin-ning excessively, thus helping the car to accel-erate. It also provides sufficient driving forceand steering performance as the car turns ataccelerated speeds.
SLIP Control Limits the drive wheels from spinning exces-sively during starting or while making accelerat-ed turns on slippery roads to avoid losing thedriving force of the front wheels.
Driving hints TCS does not actively apply brakes. Be sure todecelerate the car sufficiently before enteringcurves.
DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 12 WARNING:
It is not recommended that the vehicle be used for towing until the first 1000 miles ofRunning In has been completed. All Hyundaicoupe models are suited to towing trailersand caravans up to the limits indicated onpage 2-14. Coupe models fitted with auto-matic transaxle have a transaxle oil coolerand further transaxle cooling should not berequired.

o When driving in extreme conditions, the
windscreen wiper blades may fail to clear the screen properly due to the formation ofice upon the blade edge. It will therefore benecessary to periodically remove such iceto 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 roadwheels or steering mechanism. In such in-stances, unusual noises or an increase insteering effort may result. Therefore, ensurethat the wheel arches are checked periodi-cally and any accumulated snow or iceremoved.
o It is advisable to carry emergency equip- ment including, torch, shovel, tow rope, blan-kets etc., if a journey is to be undertaken intoareas of severe road conditions.

Door Locks
Should the door lock mechanism become fro-
zen, a proprietary lock de-icer should be used.Alternatively, warming the door key may thawthe door lock. However, the key should behandled carefully to avoid burning the fingers.
Never attempt to thaw a frozen door lock using
hot water, since the water will eventually freezeand 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 over176°F (80°C) to open the frozen lock, it maycause damage to the transponder in its head. SC170E1-E Windscreen Washers and Wipers
The windscreen washer bottle should be filled
with a solution of water and a proprietary winter screen wash additive. The windscreen wipersshould not be used if the blades are frozen tothe windscreen or if they are covered withsnow, 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 tothe paintwork may result.

D060F02E-EAT 5. Raising the Car After inserting a bar into the wheel nut wrench, install the bar into the jack as shown in the draw-ing. To raise the vehicle, turn the wheel nut wrenchclockwise. As the jack begins to raise the vehicle,double check that it is properly positioned and will
not slip. If the jack is on soft ground or sand, placea board, brick, flat stone or other object under thebase of the jack to keep it from sinking.Raise the car high enough so that the fully inflatedspare tire can be installed. To do this, you will needmore ground clearance than is required to removethe flat
tyre.
WARNING:Do not get under the car when it is supportedby the jack! This is very dangerous as the jackcould fall and cause serious injury or death.No one should stay in the car while the jack isbeing used.

See the lubrication chart on the page 9-3. NOTE:
o The use of a 5W-20 multi grade oil is not
recommended for sustained high speeduse.
o When replacing or adding the oil, below SAE 10W-30 is recommended.Using a high viscosity oil of SAE 15W-40and over makes malfunction of CVVT en-gine when the engine is cool. SG030D1-E ENGINE OIL REPLENISHMENT If the indicated oil level is at or below the lower mark of the dipstick, oil should be added until thelevel is at or below the upper mark.To add oil to the engine, remove the filler cap byrotating in an counterclockwise direction andpour engine oil into the engine. Before checkingthe level again, allow several minutes for the oilto drain into the sump. Replace the oil filler caprotating it in a clockwise direction until tight.The quantity of oil required to raise the level from theminimum to maximum level is approximately 1 litre.
SG030C1-E Engine Oil Level The engine oil level should be checked with the engine at normal operating temperature and thevehicle parked upon level ground.Prior to checking the level, the vehicle should beallowed to stand for several minutes after theengine has been switched off to allow the oil todrain back to the sump.Withdraw the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag.Replace the dipstick fully and withdraw againwhen the oil level may be read from the stick.Normal oil level is indicated when the oil ispresent between the two marks on the stick. It isnot necessary to add oil if the level is above thelower mark and in any case, oil must not beadded to the degree that the level exceeds theupper mark. Replace the dipstick fully after check-ing the level.
