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 trans-formers away from your cassettetapes and tape player unit.
o Store cassettes in a cool, dry place
with the open side facing down toprevent dust from setting in the cas- sette body.
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 thin and do not perform as well in the automo- tive environment. o Avoid repeated fast reverse usage to
replay one given tune or tape sec-tion. This can cause poor tape wind-ing to occur, and eventually cause excessive internal drag and poor audio quality in the cassette. If thisoccurs, it can sometimes be cor- rected by fast winding the tape from end to end several times. If this doesnot correct the problem, do not con- tinue to use the tape in your vehicle.
B860A01A-AAT CARE OF CASSETTE TAPES Proper care of your cassette tapes will extend the tape life and increase your listening enjoyment. Always protectyour tapes and cassette cases from direct sunlight, severely cold and dusty conditions. When not in use, cassettesshould always be stored in the original protective cassette case. When the vehicle is very hot or cold, allow theinterior temperature to become more comfortable before listening 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. B860A01L

C050B01A-GAT Normal Conditions: The Starting Procedure:
1. Insert key, and fasten the seat belt.
2. Depress the clutch pedal fully and
place the gearshift lever (manual transaxle) in neutral or the selector lever (automatic transaxle) in "P" (park) position.
3. After turning the ignition key to the "ON" position, make certain all warn-ing lights and gauges are function-ing properly before starting the en- gine.
WARNING:
Be sure that the clutch is fully de- pressed when starting a manualtransaxle vehicle. Otherwise, there is the potential to cause damage to the vehicle or injury to someoneinside or outside the vehicle as a result of the forward or backward movement of the vehicle that willoccur if the clutch is not depressed when the vehicle is started. 4. Turn the ignition key to the "Start"
position and release it when the engine starts.
C070A02A-AAT OPERATING THE MANUAL TRANSAXLE
HFC3029
Your Hyundai's manual transaxle has a conventional shift pattern. This shiftpattern is imprinted on the shift knob. The transaxle is fully synchronized in all forward gears so shifting to either ahigher or a lower gear is easily accom- plished. NOTE:
o To shift into reverse, rest the le-
ver in neutral for at least 3 sec- onds after your car is completelystopped. Then move the lever into the reverse position.
o During cold weather, shifting may
be difficult until the transaxle lu-bricant has warmed up. This is normal and not harmful to thetransaxle.
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) position and release the clutch. Press the clutch pedalback 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 premature wear of the transaxle shift forks.

C090C01A-AAT o R(Reverse): Use for backing up the vehicle. Bring the car to a complete stop before shift- ing the selector lever to "R" position. C090D02A-AAT o N (Neutral): In the "N" position, the transaxle is in neutral, which means that no gearsare engaged. The engine 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. C090E01L-GAT o D (Drive): Use for normal driving. This position is used for most city and highway driving, for starting from a full stop to maximumspeed. The transaxle will automati- cally shift through a four/five gear sequency, giving best economy andpower.
C090B01A-AAT The Function of Each Position Is As Follows: o P (Park): Use to hold the vehicle in place when parking or while starting the engine.Whenever parking the car, apply the parking brake and shift the selector lever to the "P" (Park) position.
CAUTION:
Never place the selector lever in the"P" (Park) position unless the ve-hicle is fully stopped. Failure to observe this caution will cause se- vere damage to the transaxle.
C090A02L
CAUTION:
Never shift into "R" or "P" positionwhile the vehicle is moving. The indicator lights in the instrument cluster are for indicating the selector lever position when the ignition is switched "ON". During "D" range op-eration, green lights indicate the gear currently in use.

C120A02A-AAT ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (If installed) The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed to prevent wheel lock-up during sudden braking or on hazard-ous road surfaces. The ABS control module monitors the wheel speed and controls the pressure applied to eachbrake. Thus, in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABS will increase vehicle control during braking. NOTE: During ABS operation, a slight pul- sation may be felt in the brake pedalwhen the brakes are applied. Also, a noise may be heard in the engine compartment while driving. Theseconditions are normal and indicate that the anti-lock brake system is functioning properly. WARNING:
ABS will not prevent accidents dueto improper or dangerous drivingmaneuvers. Even though vehicle control is improved during emer- gency braking, always maintain asafe distance between you and ob- jects ahead. Vehicle speeds should always be reduced during extremeroad conditions. The braking distance for cars equipped with an anti-lock brakingsystem may be longer than for those without it in the following road con- ditions. During these conditions the vehicle should be driven at reduced speeds.
o Rough, gravel or snow-covered roads.
o With tire chains installed.
o On roads where the road surface is pitted or has different surfaceheight.
The safety features of an ABSequipped vehicle should not betested by high speed driving or cornering. This could endanger the safety of yourself or others.
ating or shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an abrupt change in vehi- cle speed can cause the drive wheelsto lose traction and the vehicle to go out of control.
!
!WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lane changes or fast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts.
o In a collision crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likelyto die than a person wearing aseatbelt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly in-
creased if you lose control ofyour vehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off theroadway and the driver oversteers to reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer sharply.Instead, slow down before pull- ing back into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed lim- its.

C300B01L-GAT TCS ON/OFF Mode In the TCS ON mode, the indicator in the instrument cluster will not be illumi-nated. To switch the TCS OFF mode, press the TCS switch . The SLIP control willbe deactivated and the TCS indicator in the instrument cluster will be illumi- nated. NOTE:
1) The TCS mode will automatically
be turned ON after the engine is turned off and restarted.
2) When the traction control is op-
erating properly, you can feel aslight pulsation in the vehicle. This is only the effect of brake control and indicates nothingunusual.
On slippery road surfaces, the traction control system (TCS) limits the drive wheels from spinning excessively, thushelping the car to accelerate. It also provides sufficient driving force and steering performance as the car turnsat accelerated speeds. SLIP Control Limits the drive wheels from spinning excessively during starting or while making accelerated turns on slipperyroads to avoid losing the driving force of the front wheels. Driving hints TCS does not actively apply brakes. Be sure to decelerate the car suffi- ciently before entering curves.
CAUTION:
When the TCS indicator blinks, SLIPcontrol function has been activat- ed. It also means that the road is slippery or your car is acceleratingexcessively. In this situation, gen- tly release foot pressure from the accelerator pedal and maintainmoderate speed.

If the indicator does not go out after three seconds after the engine has been started, have your car checkedby an authorized Hyundai dealer. NOTE:
1) When the TCS indicator illumi-
nates, traction control is auto- matically deactivated for safety.
2) This warning function is not pro-
vided when in the TCS-OFF mode.
3) When the engine starts, a click is
heard from the engine compart- ment; however, this is only thesound of traction control being checked.
4) When moving out of the mud or fresh snow, pressing the accel-erator pedal may not cause the engine speed to increase due toTCS operation.
C300D02L-GAT Indicator and Warning The TCS indicator should illuminate when the ignition key is turned to ON or
START but should go out after three seconds.If the indicator does not illuminate or go out after three seconds, have it checked by an authorized dealer. Should there be any unusual condi- tions in the device, TCS illuminates asa warning. If TCS illuminates, pull your car to a safe place and stop the engine.Then, start the engine again to check if the TCS indicator goes out. C130A01A-AAT GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES
WARNING:
Nothing should be carried on top of the cargo area cover behind therear seat. If there were an accident or a sudden stop, such objects could move forward and cause dam-age to the vehicle or injure the oc- cupants. o After being parked, check to be sure
the parking brake is not engaged and that the parking brake indicatorlight is out before driving away.
o Driving through water may get the
brakes wet. They can also get wetwhen the car is washed. Wet brakes can be dangerous! Your car will not stop as quickly if the brakes are wet.Wet brakes cause the car to pull to one side. To dry the brakes, apply the brakes lightly until the braking
action returns to normal, taking care to keep the car under control at all
times. If the braking action does notreturn to normal, stop as soon as it
is safe to do so and call your Hyundai dealer for assistance.
o Don't coast down hills with the car out of gear. This is extremely haz-ardous. Keep the car in gear at alltimes, use the brakes to slow down, then shift to a lower gear so that engine braking will help you main-tain a safe speed.
