GENCY
SD020A1-E IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT STARTSeek assistance from the nearest Hyundai dealer with regard to the method of ignition and fuelsystem diagnosis. WARNING: If the engine refuses to start, no attemptshould be made to push or tow start thevehicle. Vehicles with automatic transaxle orfuel injection will not be able to be started inthis manner since no drive is transmittedthrough the automatic transaxle whilst theengine is not running, and in the case of fuelinjected derivatives, the fuel pump will notoperate under tow start conditions. In addi-tion, if the vehicle is equipped with an ex-haust catalyst, damage to the catalyst mayresult if the vehicle is tow started. SD020B1-E IF THE ENGINE CANNOT BE CRANKED
1. If the vehicle is fitted with manual transaxle, ensure that the clutch pedal is depressedwhilst cranking the engine. If the vehicle isfitted with automatic transaxle, ensure that D010C01A-AAT If Engine Turns Over Normally but Does Not Start
1. Check fuel Level.
2. With the key in the off position, check all
connectors at ignition coils and spark plugs.Reconnect any that may be disconnected orloose.
3. Check the fuel line in the engine room.
4. If engine still refuses to start, call a Hyundai dealer or seek other qualified assistance.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
3-2 4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is
missing. If it is not missing, check to see that it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be satisfac-tory, check for coolant leaking from the radia-tor, hoses or under the car. (If the air condi-tioning had been in use, it is normal for coldwater to be draining from it).
WARNING:Whilst the engine is running, keep hands andclothing away from moving parts such as thefan and drive belts to prevent injury.
5. If the water pump drive belt is broken or coolant is leaking out, stop the engine imme- diately and call the nearest Hyundai dealerfor assistance.
WARNING:Do not remove the radiator cap when theengine is hot since steam and boiling watermay be ejected from the radiator resulting inburns or scalding.
6. If the cause of the overheating cannot be found, wait until the engine temperature has returned to normal. Then, if coolant has beenlost, carefully remove the radiator cap andadd water to bring the fluid level in the reser-voir up to the base of the radiator fill opening.Fill the coolant expansion tank to the halfwaymark.
WARNING:Motor vehicle batteries contain sulphuric acidand emit hydrogen gas. Protective clothingshould be worn and care exercised to preventthe acid from coming into contact with skin orclothing and the vehicle. Naked lights shouldnot be permitted in the vicinity of the battery.Care should be exercised to prevent sparksoccurring during connection. If acid acciden-tally comes into contact with skin or eyes, theaffected area should immediately be flushedwith copious amounts of water and medicalassistance sought.
1. Ensure that the booster battery is 12 volt type.
If the booster battery is installed in another vehicle, ensure that the two vehicles are nottouching.
2. Turn off all unnecessary electrical equipment in both vehicles.
3. Ensure that the engine of the vehicle provid- ing the jump start is running prior to connec-tion of the jump cables.
4. Connect the red jump cable to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery and the otherend to the positive (+) terminal of the dis-charged battery.
5. Attach the black jump cable to the negative (-) terminal of the booster battery, and theother end to a ground point within the enginecompartment of the vehicle with the flat bat-tery. Do not connect to the negative batteryterminal of the flat battery since sparks maybe generated with the subsequent risk ofexplosion. 6. Raise the booster vehicle engine speed to
2,000 r.p.m. and start the engine of the vehi-cle with the flat battery.
7. Remove jump cables in the reverse order of installation (black cable first).
CAUTION:If the jump cable is incorrectly installed, dam-age to the vehicle electrical system may oc-cur, in particular the electronic componentssuch as the Fuel Injection system computerand the Automatic Transaxle computer. Thebattery must never be disconnected whilstthe engine is running. SD040A1-E IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATSIf the temperature gauge indicates overheating:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P" (auto- matic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on,turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the car or steam is coming out from under the bonnetstop the engine. Do not open the bonnet untilthe coolant has stopped running or the steam-ing has stopped. If there is no visible loss ofcoolant and no steam, leave the engine run-ning and check to be sure the engine coolingfan is operating.If the fan is not running, turn the engine off.

APPEARANCE CARE

oxidization of the aluminium wheel will occur, spoiling the appearance.The use of an a toothbrush will facilitate cleaningbetween the wheel "spokes". SE040B1-E STAIN/SPOT REMOVAL Should tree sap, dead insects or tar prove to be difficult to remove from the paint film, turpentineor a proprietary paint cutting compound may beused. Ensure that the area to be cleaned is notrubbed intensively to prevent breaking throughthe colour coat and exposing the under coat. SE040C1-E POLISHING The exterior paint work should be polished with a proprietary wax polish when water no longercollects in bead form on the paint work. Theinstructions of the product manufacturer shouldbe adhered to. SE040E1-E BUMPER MAINTENANCEThe special material from which the bumpers are manufactured warrants special attention to pre-serve the appearance of the bumpers. Avoidcontact with battery electrolyte or brake fluid andensure that accidental spillages are immediatelyflushed with water.Do not use abrasive cleaning materials whichmay damage the bumpers.
SE040F1-E ACCIDENT REPAIRSIn the event of the body work sustaining damage, the following points should be noted prior torepairs being undertaken.If body panels are replaced or repaired, anticorrosion treatment must be applied to the repairarea. The product used must be compatible withthose used in manufacture. It is recommendedthat repairs are entrusted to a Hyundai dealer toensure that replacement parts used are of thesame high quality as those used in manufactureof the vehicle and that the correct repair methodsand materials will ensure adequate levels ofcorrosion protection and the continued validity ofthe Anti Perforation Warranty. SE050A1-E INTERIOR During the winter period, it is possible that the passenger compartment flooring may becomewet from damp footwear or quantities of snowadhering to footwear. The carpet should not beallowed to remain in this condition since thecarpet may begin to create musty smells and willpromote corrosion of the floor pan in addition tothe carpet and under felt beginning to rot. SE050C1-E INTERIOR VALETINGThe soft trim and carpets should be maintained with the regular use of a vacuum cleaner. Heavysoiling should be removed with a dry cleaningagent recommended for this purpose followingthe instructions of the product manufacturer.Paint thinner, solvents or other such cleaningmaterials should not be used since damage tothe upholstery may result.
SE050D1-E SEAT BELTSSeat belts should be cleaned only with a mild soap solution. Strong detergents, solvens orbleaches may damage the belt webbing andtherefore reduce the effectiveness of the belt.Belts which display signs of fraying, wear of cutshould be replaced. SE050E1-E WINDOWSA proprietary glass cleaner should be used to clean the inside of the windows. However, therear heated windscreen must only be cleanedusing a light horizontal cleaning action. Careshould be exercised to avoid the use of abrasivecleaners or contact with items of jewellery whichmay damage the heating elements.
Avoid subjecting the bumpers to high tempera-tures such as may be encountered in high bakepaint ovens.

NANCE REQUIRE- MENTS NOTE: The inspection and testing of certain elec-tronic fuel injection/engine management andautomatic transmission control systems re-quire specialised electronic equipment spe-cifically designed for Hyundai vehicles. Theuse of general purpose electrical test equip-ment may result in damage to the control unitmicroprocessors. SF020C1-E Specified Scheduled Procedures
The Specified scheduled procedures are listed
in the maintenance charts beginning at page 5- 2. The operations specified must be performedat the time or mileage intervals shown irrespec-tive of whether the mileage interval has beenreached before the specified time interval.
Certain lubricants and components degrade
with both time and mileage (e.g. engine oil andbrake fluid) and therefore it is not permissableto base the maintenance schedule upon mile-age alone. It is strongly recommended that themaintenance operations are performed by thefactory-trained or distributor-trained techniciansat your Hyundai dealer because of the need forspecialized knowledge and tooling and to en-sure that no possibility of invalidating the man-ufacturers warranty exists.
The maintenance schedules relate to vehicles
operated under normal conditions, vehicles which are operated under adverse conditionswill require more frequent maintenance which isdescribed at page 5-4. SF030B1-E SERVICE HISTORY It is important that all scheduled maintenance services are recorded in the warranty and ser-vice passport to ensure that proof of mainte-nance is available when warranty service isrequired.
