The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed
to prevent wheel lock-up during sudden braking
or on hazardous road surfaces. The ABS control
module monitors the wheel speed and controls
the pressure applied to each brake. Thus, in
emergency situations or on slick roads, ABS will
increase vehicle control during braking.

C370A01E-2
On slippery road surfaces, the traction control
system (TCS) limits the drive wheels from spin-
ning excessively, thus helping the car to acceler-
ate. It also provides sufficient driving force and
steering performance as the car turns at acceler-
ated speeds. o Use caution when parking on a hill. Engage
the parking brake and place the gear selector
lever in "P" (automatic transaxle) or in first or
reverse gear (manual transaxle). If your car is
facing downhill, turn the front wheels into the
curb to help keep the car from rolling. If your
car is facing uphill, turn the front wheels away
from the curb to help keep the car from rolling.
If there is no curb or if it is required by other
conditions to keep the car from rolling, block
the wheels.
o Under some conditions your parking brake
can freeze in the engaged position. This is
most likely to happen when there is an accu-
mulation of snow or ice around or near the
rear brakes or if the brakes are wet. If there is
a risk that the parking brake may freeze,
apply it only temporarily while you put the
gear selector lever in "P" (automatic) or in first
or reverse gear (manual transaxle) and block
the rear wheels so the car cannot roll. Then
release the parking brake.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with
the accelerator pedal. This can cause the
transmission to overheat. Always use the
brake pedal or parking brake.

WINTER DRIVING WINTER DRIVINGWINTER DRIVING WINTER DRIVING
WINTER DRIVINGThe more severe weather conditions of winter
result in greater wear and other problems. To
minimize the problems of winter driving, you
should follow these suggestions:
C160B01A-AAT
Snowy or Icy Conditions Snowy or Icy ConditionsSnowy or Icy Conditions Snowy or Icy Conditions
Snowy or Icy ConditionsTo drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may be
necessary to use snow tires or to install tire
chains on your tires. If snow tires are needed, it
is necessary to select tires equivalent in size and
type to the original equipment tires. Failure to do
so may adversely affect the safety and handling
of your car. Speeding, rapid acceleration, sud-
den brake applications, and sharp turns are
potentially very hazardous practices.
During deceleration, use engine braking to the
fullest extent. Sudden brake applications on
snowy or icy roads may cause skids to occur.
You need to keep sufficient distance between the
vehicle in front and your vehicle. Also, apply the
brake gently. It should be noted that installing tire
chains on the tire will provide a greater driving
force, but will not prevent side skids.
NOTE: NOTE:NOTE: NOTE:

state laws before fitting tire chains. o Remember, your Hyundai does not require
extended warm-up. As soon as the engine is
running smoothly, you can drive away. In
very cold weather, however, give your engine
a slightly longer warm-up period.
o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging
is driving too slowly in too high a gear result-
ing in the engine bucking. If this happens, shift
to a lower gear. Over-revving is racing the
engine beyond its safe limit. This can be
avoided by shifting at the recommended
speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air
conditioning system is operated by engine
power so your fuel economy is reduced when
you use it. o Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated to
the recommended pressure. Incorrect infla-
tion, either too much or too little, results in
unnecessary tire wear. Check the tire pres-
sures at least once a month.
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly.
Improper alignment can result from hitting
curbs or driving too fast over irregular surfac-
es. Poor alignment causes faster tire wear
and may also result in other problems as well
as greater fuel consumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For better
fuel economy and reduced maintenance
costs, maintain your car in accordance with
the maintenance schedule in Section 5. If you
drive your car in severe conditions, more
frequent maintenance is required (see Sec-
tion 5 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum service,
your Hyundai should be kept clean and free of
corrosive materials. It is especially important
that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed to
accumulate on the underside of the car. This
extra weight can result in increased fuel con-
sumption and also contribute to corrosion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary weight
in your car. Weight reduces fuel economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than neces-
sary. If you are waiting (and not in traffic), turn
off your engine and restart only when you're
ready to go.
