Face-Level
Selecting the "Face" mode will cause air to be
discharged through the face level vents.
NOTE:
o It should be noted that prolonged op- eration of the heating in "Recirculation" mode will increase to fogging of thewindscreen and side windows and theair within the passenger compartmentwill become stale. In addition, prolongeduse of the air conditioning with the"Recirculation" mode selected may re-sult in the air within the passenger com-partment becoming excessively dry.
o When the ignition switch is turned "ON" the air intake control will change to "
"
mode (regardless of switch position). This is normal operation.
B670D05A-AAT Air Flow Control
HFC2068
This is used to direct the flow of air. Air can be directed to the floor, dashboard outlets, orwindscreen. Five symbols are used to repre-sent Face, Bi-Level, Floor, Floor-Defrost andDefrost air position.
HFC2046-D
HFC2047-D
HFC2048-D
HFC2049-D
Bi-Level
Air is discharged through the face vents and
the floor vents. This makes it possible to have cooler air from the dashboard vents and warmerair from the floor outlets at the same time. Floor-Level
Air is discharged through the floor vents.
Floor-Defrost Level
Air is discharged through the windscreen de-
frost vents and the floor vents.
If the "Floor-Defrost" mode is selected, the A/C
will turn on automatically and "Fresh" mode willbe activated.

B730A01FC-EAT Operation Tips
o To keep dust or unpleasant fumes from
entering the car through the ventilation system, temporarily set the air intake con-trol at "Recirculation". Be sure to return thecontrol to "Fresh" when the irritation haspassed to keep fresh air in the vehicle.This will help keep the driver alert andcomfortable.
o Air for the heating/cooling system is drawn in through the grilles just ahead of thewindscreen. Care should be taken thatthese are not blocked by leaves, snow, iceor other obstructions.
o To prevent interior fog on the windscreen, set the air intake control to the fresh air(
) position and fan speed to the desired
position.
NOTE: When the A/C is operated continuously on the floor-defrost level (
) or defrost level
(), it may cause fog to form on the exte-
rior windscreen. If this occurs, set the air flow control to the face level position (
)and
fan speed control to the low position.

B740C01FC
For dehumidified heating:
o Turn on the fan control switch.
o Turn on the air conditioning switch. The air conditioning indicator light should come on at the same time.
o Set the air intake control to "Fresh" mode (
).
o Set the air flow control to the desired position.
o Adjust the fan control to the desired speed.
o For more rapid action, set the fan at one of the higher speeds.
o Adjust the temperature control to provide the desired amount of warmth. B740D01A-AAT Operation Tips
o If the interior of the car is hot when you first
get in, open the windows for a few minutes to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air conditioning system, keep all windows closed to keephot air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy traffic, shift to a lower gear. This increases enginespeed, which in turn increases the speedof the air conditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air conditioning off to avoid the possibility of the engineover-heating.
o During winter months or in periods when the air conditioning is not used regularly,run the air conditioning once every monthfor a few minutes. This will help circulatethe lubricants and keep your system inpeak operating condition.

MANUAL TRANSAXLE
HFC3029
The five speed fully synchronized transaxle is controlled by a floor mounted shift lever uponwhich the shift pattern is indicated. It is impor-tant that when changing gear, the clutch pedalis fully depressed to avoid transaxle damage. 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 immedi-ately the shift is completed.
o To avoid premature clutch wear, do not use the clutch pedal as a foot rest, anddo not hold the vehicle on a gradientusing the clutch.
o Ensure that the engine is not over-revved by upshifting before the tachometerneedle enters 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 encoun- tered, increased caution should be ex-ercised when gear changing, braking oraccelerating. Abrupt changes in speedmay cause a loss of traction or controlof the vehicle.
o The starter motor will not operate un- less the clutch pedal is depressed whilstthe engine is being started.
o During cold weather, shifting may be difficult until the transaxle lubricant haswarmed up. This is normal and notharmful to the transaxle. SC090B1-F
Using the Clutch The clutch should be pressed all the way to
the floor before shifting, then released slowly.Do not 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.
o Avoid cruising at unnecessary high speeds.
o Always ensure that the periodic mainte-
nance services are performed by a Hyundai dealer at the time and/or mileage intervalsspecified.
o Use the air conditioning only when neces- sary.
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 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 inpremature wear of the transaxle shiftforks.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 11
o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lug-
ging is driving too slowly in too high a gear resulting in the engine bucking. If thishappens to you, shift to a lower gear. Over-revving is racing the engine beyond its safe limit. This can be avoided byshifting at the recommended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air conditioning system is operated by theengine power so your fuel economy isreduced when you use it.
SC150A1-F
DRIVING FOR ECONOMY
You can save fuel and get more miles fromyour 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 cruis-ing speed. Don't race between stoplights.Try to adjust your speed to that of the othertraffic so you don't have to change speedsunnecessarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible. Al- ways maintain a safe distance from othervehicles so you can avoid unnecessarybraking. This also reduces brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your car uses. Drivingat a moderate speed, especially on thehighway, is one of the most effective waysto reduce fuel consumption.
o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. This can increase fuel consumption and alsoincrease wear on these components. Inaddition, driving with your foot resting onthe brake pedal may cause the brakes tooverheat, which reduces their effective-ness and may lead to more serious con-
sequences.
o Take care of your tyres. Keep them inflated to the recommended pressure. Incorrectinfla-tion, either too much or too little, re-sults in unnecessary tyre wear. Check thetyre pres-sures at least once a month. o Be sure that the wheels are aligned cor-
rectly. Improper alignment can result fromhitting curbs or driving too fast over irregu-lar surfaces. Poor alignment causes fastertyre wear and may also result in otherproblems as well as greater fuel consump-tion.
o Keep your car in good condition. For better fuel economy and reduced maintenancecosts, maintain your car in accordancewith the maintenance schedule in Section5. If you drive your car in severe condi-tions, more frequent maintenance is re-quired (see Section 5 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum ser- vice, your car should be kept clean andfree of corrosive materials. It is especiallyimportant that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not beallowed to accumulate on the underside ofthe car. This extra weight can result inincreased fuel consumption and also con-tribute to corrosion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary weight in your car. Weight is an enemy ofgood 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 whenyou're ready to go.
o Remember, your car does not require extended warm-up. As soon as the engineis running smoothly, you can drive away.In very cold weather, however, give yourengine a slightly longer warm-up period. SC160A1-F SMOOTH CORNERING Avoid braking or gear changing in corners, especially when roads are wet. Ideally, cor-ners should always be taken under gentleacceleration. If you follow these suggestions,tyre wear will be held to a minimum. SC170A1-E WINTER MOTORING The onset of winter conditions subject motor vehicles to greater operating demands. There-fore, the following suggestions will assist inmaintaining peak performance and reliabilityduring these periods:

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 12 NOTE: Never allow undiluted screen washer fluid additive to spill upon the paintwork or useengine coolant anti-freeze since damage tothe paintwork may result.
o When driving in extreme conditions, the windscreen wiper blades may fail to clearthe 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 theroad wheels or steering mechanism. Insuch instances, unusual noises or an in-crease in steering effort may result. There-fore, ensure that the wheel arches arechecked periodically and any accumulatedsnow or ice removed.
o It is advisable to carry emergency equip- ment including, torch, shovel, tow rope,blankets etc., if a journey is to be under-taken into areas of severe road conditions.
ZC170D1-E
Door Locks
Should the door lock mechanism becomefrozen, a proprietary lock de-icer should beused. Alternatively, warming the door keymay thaw the door lock. However, the keyshould be handled carefully to avoid burningthe fingers. Never attempt to thaw a frozen door lock using hot water, since the water will eventu-ally freeze and compound the problem. NOTE: The proper temperature for using the im-mobilizer key is from -40°F to 176°F (-40°Cto 80°C). If you heat the immobilizer keyover 176°F (80°C) to open the frozen lock,it may cause damage to the transponderin 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 windscreenwipers should not be used if the blades arefrozen to the windscreen or if they are cov-ered with snow, before this is removed.
ZC170B1-E
Electrical System
Winter conditions impose severe demandsupon vehicle electrical systems, particularlythe charging circuit. The battery condition andperformance along with the alternator perfor-mance and drive belt condition should bechecked prior to the onset of winter. ZC170C1-E Anti-freeze/Corrosion inhibitorThe cooling system must always contain an Ethylene-Glycol based anti-freeze solution.The system is filled during manufacture withsolution of the correct strength which shouldbe checked before the onset of winter andadjusted or changed as required. NOTE: The anti-freeze solution contains a corro-sion inhibitor to prevent degradation of thealuminum castings contained within theengine. Therefore, never, drain the systemand refill with water only. In addition, anti-freeze solution must ALWAYS be used in vehicles fitted with air conditioning,to prevent the heater matrix from freezing andsubsequently bursting with the refrigerationsystem in use.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

CAUTION:
Personal injury and damage to the vehicle
may occur if jump starting is not per- formed correctly. If any doubt exists as tohow this operation should be performed,seek assistance from qualified personnel. WARNING:
Motor vehicle batteries contain sulphuric
acid and emit hydrogen gas. Protective clothing should be worn and care exer-cised to prevent the acid from coming intocontact with skin or clothing and the ve-hicle. Naked lights should not be permittedin the vicinity of the battery. Care shouldbe exercised to prevent sparks occurringduring connection. If acid accidentallycomes into contact with skin or eyes, theaffected area should immediately be flushed ponents such as the Fuel Injection system
computer and the Automatic Transaxlecomputer. The battery must never be dis-connected whilst the engine is running. SD040A2-E IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS If the temperature gauge indicates overheat- ing:
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 condition-ing 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 bonnetuntil the coolant has stopped running orthe steaming has stopped. If there is novisible loss of coolant and no steam, leavethe engine running and check to be surethe engine cooling fan is operating. If the fan is not running, turn the engine off.
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 besatisfactory, check for coolant leaking fromthe radiator, hoses or under the car. (If theair conditioning had been in use, it isnormal for cold water to be draining fromit).
SD030A1-E JUMP STARTING
with copious amounts of water and medi- cal assistance sought.
1. Ensure that the booster battery is 12 volt type. If the booster battery is installed inanother vehicle, ensure that the two vehi-cles are not touching.
2. Turn off all unnecessary electrical equip- ment in both vehicles.
3. Ensure that the engine of the vehicle pro- viding the jump start is running prior toconnection of the jump cables.
4. Connect the red jump cable to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery and theother end to the positive (+) terminal of thedischarged battery.
5. Attach the black jump cable to the nega- tive (-) terminal of the booster battery, andthe other end to a ground point within theengine compartment of the vehicle withthe flat battery. Do not connect to thenegative battery terminal of the flat batterysince sparks may be generated with thesubsequent risk of explosion.
6. Raise the booster vehicle engine speed to 2,000 r.p.m. and start the engine of thevehicle with the flat battery.
7. Remove jump cables in the reverse order of installation (black cable first).
