JB580B2-A CARE OF DISC Proper Handling Handle your disc as shown. Do not drop the disc. Hold the disc so you will not leave fingerprints onthe surface. If the surface is scratched, it maycause the pickup to skip signal tracks. Do notaffix tape, paper, or gummed labels on the disc.Do not write on the disc. Damaged Disc Do not attempt to play damaged, warped or cracked discs. It could severely damage theplayback mechanism. Storage When not in use, place your discs in their indi- vidual case and store them in a cool place awayfrom the sun, heat, and dust.
Do not grip or pull out the disc with your handwhile the disc is being pulled into the unit by theSelf Loading mechanism. Keep Your Discs Clean
SR040B1-F Care of Cassette Tapes Proper care of your cassette tapes will extend the tape life and increase your listening enjoy-ment. Always protect your tapes and cassettecases from direct sunlight, severe cold and dustyconditions. When not in use, cassettes shouldalways be stored in the protective cassette casein which they were originally supplied. When thevehicle is very hot or cold, allow the interiortemperature to become more comfortable beforelistening to your cassettes.
o Never leave a cassette inserted in the player
when not being played. This could damage the tape player unit and the cassette tape.
o We strongly recommend against the use of tapes longer than C-60 (60 minutes total).Tapes such as C-120 or C-180 are very thinand do not perform as well in the automotiveenvironment.
Fingerprints, dust, or soil on the surface couldcause the pickup to skip signal tracks. Wipe thesurface clean with a clean soft cloth. If the sur-face is heavily soiled, dampen a clean soft clothin a solution of mild neutral detergent to wipe itclean.

o Be sure that the cassette label is not loose or
peeling off or tape ejection may be difficult.
o Never touch or soil the actual audio tape surfaces.
o Keep all magnetized objects, such as electric motors, speakers or transformers away from your cassette tapes and tape player unit.
o Store cassettes in a cool, dry place with the open side facing down to prevent dust fromsetting in the cassette body.
o Avoid repeated fast reverse usage to replay one given tune or tape section. This cancause poor tape winding to occur, and even-tually cause excessive internal drag and pooraudio quality in the cassette. If this occurs, itcan sometimes be corrected by fast windingthe tape from end to end several times. If thisdoes not correct the problem, do not continueto use the tape in your vehicle.
HGK062-D
o The playback head, capstan and pinch rollerswill develop a coating of tape residue that can result in deterioration of sound quality, suchas a wavering sound. They should be cleanedmonthly using a commercially available headcleaning tape or special solution availablefrom audio specialty shops. Follow thesupplier's directions carefully and never oilany part of the tape player unit.
o Always be sure that the tape is tightly wound on its reel before inserting in the player.Rotate a pencil in the drive sprockets to windup any slack.

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.

TOWING ATTACHMENTS
It is strongly recommended that only an Hyundai
Approved towing attachment is used to ensure that the loads placed upon the body structureare correctly distributed. The use of a nonapproved attachment will result in the invalida-tion of the vehicle warranty. Hyundai towingattachments are designed and constructed toensure maximum towing performance and easeof fitment. A range of accessories includingelectrical kits and mirrors are available throughthe Hyundai dealer network.
It is of the utmost importance that those areas
of the vehicle which are subjected to greaterstress during towing are maintained in accor-dance with the recommendations given at theend of this book. In addition, the daily operatingchecks relating to engine oil, transaxle oil andtyres must be performed at each refuelling toensure maximum reliability and safety.
The use of a proprietary stabiliser will assist in
achieving an inherently stable outfit but whilstthe use of such equipment will improve thecharacteristics of a balanced outfit, it will notcompensate for a badly loaded and thereforeunstable 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 totyres which deteriorate through time and expo- sure rather than as a result of the distancestowed. The inside walls of the tyres should beinspected along with the outside walls for crack-ing and damage. The trailer wheel nut torquemust be checked on a regular basis, preferablybefore each towing session.
The trailer towbar hitch and the safety catch
mechanism must be maintained in good work-ing order. The trailer break away cable or cableshould be inspected for damage and should beattached to the vehicle towing attachment eachand every time the trailer is hitched to thevehicle.
Whilst towing, the performance of the vehicle
will be reduced in terms of acceleration, brakingand handling due to the increased loads placedupon the vehicle. The driver should anticipatethe change in characteristics and adjust thedriving style in keeping with these changes.Care should be exercised when cornering andbraking 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 onuphill gradients the clutch unit is not subjectedto excessive slippage which will reduce theuseful life of this component. Use of the "Over-drive Off" "2" and "L" positions when drivingvehicles with automatic transaxle will assistwith 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 roadspeed if it is found that the transaxle unit makesan undesirable upshift whilst hill climbing orovertaking. The transaxle unit should be oper-ated in "D" with the Overdrive "On" undernormal circumstances to enhance fuel economyand reduce noise and engine wear.
