STEERING WHEEL LOCK
When 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 untillocked each time the key is removed since inthe event of any unauthorized attempt at re-moval, the lock will become effective as soonas the steering wheel is turned. To unlock thesteering, insert the key and turn to the "ACC"position. If the steering is locked, it may benecessary to rock the steering wheel slightly tofacilitate turning the key. Under no circum-stances should the key be forced since break-age of the key will occur. SC060A1-E

2- 4 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 as possible after use.
o Anticipate the road and conditions ahead to enable adjustments in speed to be madesmoothly. Avoid heavy acceleration and sharpbraking.
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.
NOTE: Do not operate the starter for more than 15
seconds continuously or continue to oper- ate the starter after the engine has started toavoid damaging the starter motor. If theengine makes a false start, allow it and thestarter motor to come to rest before at-tempting to start the engine again. Neverattempt to start the engine with the transaxlein gear. Do not depress the accelerator pedalwhilst starting the engine. Allow the engineto idle for 20 seconds or so before drivingthe 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. C070A01GK-EAT MANUAL TRANSAXLE The five speed fully synchronized transaxle is controlled by a floor mounted shift lever uponwhich the shift pattern is indicated. It is importantthat when changing gear, the clutch pedal is fullydepressed to avoid transaxle damage.

When shifting into reverse gear, pull the miss-
shift prevention tab and shift into reverse gear position. (B Type : 6 speed type) CAUTION:
o Do not attempt to engage reverse gear when the car is in motion.
o To avoid damaging the selector mecha- nism, do not use the gear shift lever as a hand rest. Release the lever immediatelythe shift is completed.
o To avoid premature clutch wear, do not use the clutch pedal as a foot rest, and donot hold the vehicle on a gradient usingthe clutch.
o Ensure that the engine is not over-revved by upshifting before the tachometer needleenters the red zone.
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 encountered, increased caution should be exercisedwhen gear changing, braking or ac-celerating. Abrupt changes in speed maycause a loss of traction or control of thevehicle. NOTE:
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.
SC090B1-F
Using the Clutch The clutch should be pressed all the way to the
floor before shifting, then released slowly. Donot rest your foot on the clutch pedal whiledriving.
This can cause unnecessary wear. Do not partially engage the clutch to hold the
car on an incline. This causes unnecessary wear.
Use the parking brake to hold the car on an
incline. Do not operate the clutch pedal rapidlyand repeatedly. C070E02GK-AAT

2- 6 The first few shifts on a new vehicle, or if the battery has been disconnected, may besomewhat abrupt. This is a normal condi-tion, and the shifting sequence will adjustafter shifts are cycled a few times by theT.C.M (Transaxle Control Module). CAUTION: Never shift into "R" or "P" position while the vehicle is moving. The indicator lights in the instrument cluster indicate the selector lever position when theignition is switched "ON". During "D" or sportsmode operation, the gear currently in use dis-plays in the numeral indicator.
C090A02L-D
C090B01A-AAT
The function of each position is as follows:
o P (Park): Use to hold the vehicle in place when parked or while starting the engine. Whenever parking thecar, apply the parking brake and shift the selec-tor lever to the "P" (Park) position. CAUTION: Never place the selector lever in the "P"(Park) position unless the vehicle is fullystopped. Failure to observe this caution willcause severe damage to the transaxle. C090C01A-AAT
o R(Reverse): Use for backing up the vehicle. Bring the car to a complete stop before shifting the selectorlever to "R" position. C090D02O-AAT
o N (Neutral): In the "N" position, the transaxle is in neutral, which means that no gears are engaged. Theengine can be started with the shift lever in "N"position, although this is not recommended ex-cept if the engine stalls while the car is moving.

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transaxle
has four forwards speeds and one reverse speed. The individual speeds are selected au-tomatically, depending on the position of thespeed selector lever. The selector lever has 2gates; the main gate and the manual gate.
NOTE: For information on manual gate operation,
refer to "Sports Mode".
In the main gate, the selector lever has 4
positions, and is equipped with a button to avoid inadvertent wrong selection.
NOTE: Depress the brake pedal and push the
button when shifting.
Push the button when shifting. The selector lever can be shifted freely.

Sports Mode
HGK175-D
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in motion, sports mode is selected by pushing the selectorlever from the "D" position into the manual gate.To return to "D" range operation, push theselector lever back into the main gate. In sports mode, moving the selector lever back- wards and forwards can make rapid gearshiftssimple. In contrast to a manual transaxle, thesports mode allows gearshifts with the accel-erator pedal depressed. UP (+) : Push the lever forward once to shift up
one gear.DOWN (-) : Pull the lever backwards once to
shift down one gear.
C090E01O-AAT
o D(Drive):
Use for normal driving. The transaxle will auto-
matically shift through a four gear sequence.
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 leverfrom the "P" (Park) position to any of theother positions.
o It is always possible to shift from "R", "N", "D" position to "P" position. Thevehicle must be fully stopped to avoidtransaxle damage.
CAUTION:
o In sports mode, the driver must execute shifts in accordance with prevailing roadconditions, taking care to keep the en-gine 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. Sincesudden 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'sspeed.
NOTE:
o In sports mode, only the four forward gears can be selected. To reverse or parkthe vehicle, move the selector lever tothe "R" or "P" position as required.
o In sports mode, downward shifts are made automatically when the vehicleslows down. When the vehicle stops, 1stgear is automatically selected.
o To maintain the required levels of vehicle performance and safety, the system maynot execute certain gearshifts when theselector lever is operated. o Before driving away from a stop on a
slippery road, push the selector leverforward into the +(UP) position. Thiscauses the transaxle to shift into 2ndgear which is better for smooth drivingaway on a slippery road. Push the selec-tor lever to the -(DOWN) side to shiftback to 1st gear.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 8 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. 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.
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 vehi-cle speed can cause the drive wheels tolose traction and the vehicle to go out ofcontrol.
WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel move- ments, such as sharp lane changes or fast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts. In a collision crash, un unbelted personis significantly more likely to die than aperson wearing a seatbelt.
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 Never exceed posted speed limits. SC140A1-E EFFECTIVE BRAKING Braking system performance and friction mate- rial life are greatly affected by the driving styleadopted. The following suggestions are made toassist in achieving the best results from thebraking 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 andperformance reduced. Always check brakeefficiency after emerging from the water anddry the brakes by lightly depressing thebrake pedal several times whilst driving slow-ly.
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 setthe parking brake, shift the transaxle into"P" (Park) position and turn off the igni-tion when you leave the vehicle, evenmomentarily. Never leave the vehicleunattended while the engine is running.
o Check the automatic transaxle fluid level regularly, and add fluid as necessary.
C090N02O-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,

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.

Indicators and Warning The indicators should illuminate when the igni-
tion key is turned to ON or START but should go out after three seconds.
If the indicators do not illuminate, or the TCS or
TCS-OFF indicator does not go out after 3seconds, have it checked by an authorizeddealer.
Should there be any unusual conditions in the
device while driving, TCS-OFF indicator illumi-nates as a warning.
If TCS-OFF indicator illuminates, pull your car
to 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 anauthorized Hyundai dealer. effect of brake control and indicates noth-ing unusual.
3) When the engine starts, a click is heard from the engine compartment; however,this is only the sound of traction controlbeing checked.
4) When moving out of the mud or fresh snow, pressing the accelerator pedal maynot cause the engine speed to increasedue to TCS operation. NOTE:
1) When the TCS-OFF indicator illuminates,
traction control is automatically deacti- vated for safety.
2) This warning function is not provided when the driver selects the TCS-OFFmode.
SC150A1-F DRIVING FOR ECONOMY You 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 cruisingspeed. Don't race between stoplights. Try toadjust your speed to that of the other trafficso you don't have to change speeds unnec-essarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible. Al- ways maintain a safe distance from othervehicles 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 toreduce fuel consumption.
o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. This can increase fuel consumption and alsoincrease wear on these components. In ad-dition, driving with your foot resting on thebrake pedal may cause the brakes to over-

light in the instrument cluster will blink. If you turn the system off by pressing the TCS
switch, the TCS-OFF indicator light will comeon and stay on. In the TCS-OFF mode, theSLIP control will be deactivated. Adjust youdriving accordingly. To turn the system backon, press the switch again. The TCS-OFF indi-cator light should go off.
NOTE:
1) The TCS mode will automatically be turned ON after the engine is turned offand restarted.
2) When the traction control system is op- erating properly, you can feel a slightpulsation in the vehicle. This is only the
CAUTION: When the TCS indicator blinks, SLIP control
has been activated. It also means that the road is slippery or your car is acceleratingexcessively. In this situation, gently releasefoot pressure from the accelerator pedaland maintain moderate speed.
WARNING: Traction control is only a driving aid; all
normal precautions for driving in inclement weather and on slippery road surfacesshould be observed.
