DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 9
SC130A1-E
OVERDRIVE SWITCH
The overdrive switch prevents the transaxle
upshifting higher than third gear when the switch is turned "OFF". The transaxle will startfrom rest in first gear and upshift to secondand third gear depending upon the roadspeedand throttle opening but will not upshift tofourth gear. When the overdrive switch isturned "ON", the transaxle will start from restin first gear and will upshift, depending uponroadspeed and throttle opening to second,third and fourth gear. Therefore, when theoverdrive switch is turned "OFF", the transaxleperforms as a three speed unit and the over-drive warning light located in the instrumentcluster will be illuminated. When the overdriveswitch is turned "ON", the transaxle functionsas a fully automatic four speed unit with themaximum fuel economy potential of the ve-hicle being realized. o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade
with the accelerator pedal. This can causethe transmission to overheat. Always usethe brake pedal or parking brake.
SC140A1-E EFFECTIVE BRAKING Braking system performance and friction ma- terial life are greatly affected by the drivingstyle adopted. The following suggestions aremade to assist in achieving the best resultsfrom the braking system.
o Anticipate the road and conditions ahead
in order that heavy braking may be avoided.
o When descending long gradients, use the engine to assist in retarding the vehicle to minimize the possibility of brake fade oc-curring.
o When trailer towing, ensure that the trailer brakes function correctly and use enginebraking to assist the vehicle braking system.
o Use only genuine Hyundai replacement brake pads and shoes to ensure consis-tent friction characteristics and wear rates.
o After driving through deep water (e.g. fording), the brakes may become wet andperformance reduced. Always check brakeefficiency after emerging from the waterand dry the brakes by lightly depressingthe brake pedal several times whilst driv-ing slowly.
o Apply the parking brake only when the vehicle is at rest.
o Since the power assistance provided by the brake servo is derived from the engine,coasting with the engine turned off or tow-ing of the vehicle with the engine turned offwill result in greatly increased pedal pres-sures being required to stop the vehicle. SC140B1-E
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (Not all models)
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is de-
signed to prevent wheel lock-up during sud- den braking or on hazardous road surfaces.The ABS control module monitors the wheelspeed and controls the pressure applied toeach brake. Thus, in emergency situations oron slick roads, ABS will increase vehicle con-trol during braking.
NOTE: During ABS operation, a slight pulsation
may be felt in the brake pedal when the brakes are applied. Also, a noise may beheard in the engine compartment whilstbraking. These conditions are normal andindicate that the anti-lock brake system isfunctioning properly.
WARNING:ABS will not prevent accidents due to im-
proper or dangerous driving maneuvers.Even though vehicle control is improvedduring emergency braking, always maintaina safe distance between you and objectsahead. Vehicle speeds should always bereduced during extreme road conditions.

IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START Seek assistance from the nearest Hyundai dealer with regard to the method of ignition andfuel system diagnosis.
CAUTION:If the engine refuses to start, no attempt
should be made to push or tow start thevehicle. Vehicles with automatic transaxleor fuel injection will not be able to bestarted in this manner since no drive istransmitted through the automatic transaxlewhilst the engine is not running, and in thecase of fuel injected derivatives, the fuelpump will not operate under tow start con-ditions. In addition, if the vehicle isequipped with an exhaust catalyst, dam-age to the catalyst may result if the vehicleis tow started. SD020B1-E

1. Check fuel Level
2. Check all connectors at ignition coil and spark plugs.Replace any that may be disconnected or loose.
3. Check fuel line in the engine room.
4. If engine still refuses to start, call a Hyundai dealer or seek other qualified assistance.
1. If the vehicle is fitted with manual transaxle,
ensure that the clutch pedal is depressed whilst cranking the engine. If the vehicle isfitted with automatic transaxle, ensurethat the transaxle selector is at the "P"or"N" position.
2. Check the battery terminals and connec- tions to ensure that these are clean andalso tight.
3. If the ignition warning lights dim when the engine is cranked and the battery termi-nals have been checked, a dischargedbattery is indicated.
4. Do not attempt to push or tow start the vehicle, refer to "Jump Starting" for infor-mation regarding engine starting when thebattery is discharged. AD020D1-A
If Engine Stalls While Driving
1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping a straight line. Move cautiously off the road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Try starting the engine again. If your ve- hicle will not start, see "IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START"

Plastic wheel covers should be cleaned using a sponge and water. Cast alloy wheels shouldbe cleaned using a mild soap or neutral deter-gent. Abrasive compounds must not be usedsince in the event of these damaging the lac-quer coating, oxidization of the aluminium wheelwill occur, spoiling the appearance.The use of an a toothbrush will facilitate cleaningbetween the wheel "spokes".
ensure that accidental spillages are immediatelyflushed with water.Do not use abrasive cleaning materials whichmay damage the bumpers.Avoid subjecting the bumpers to high tempera-tures such as may be encountered in high bakepaint ovens.
SE040B1-E STAIN/SPOT REMOVALShould 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 POLISHINGThe 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 MAINTENANCE The 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 and SE040F1-E ACCIDENT REPAIRS In 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.

The fusible link prevents damage to the wiring harness in the event of an electrical systemmalfunction. Failure of a fusiblelink is indicativeof a serious overload condition having occurredand therefore the electrical system should bechecked by a Hyundai dealer before a replace-ment link is fitted. WARNING: Under no circumstances should a fusible link be replaced with anything other than anew link of the same rating. The use ofhigher rated links or other means of con-necting the circuit will create a potential firehazard.
