ZB130A2-E WINDSCREEN WIPER ANDWASHER SWITCH The windscreen wiper switch has three posi-
tions.
1. Intermittent operation
2. Low speed operation
3. High speed operation
NOTE: To prevent damage to the wiper system, do
not attempt to wipe away heavy accumula- tions of snow or ice. Accumulated snow andice should be removed manually. If there isonly a light layer of snow or ice, operate theheater in the defrost mode to melt the snowor ice before using the wiper. YB130B1-E WINDSCREEN WASHER OPERATION
To use the windscreen washer, pull the wiper/
washer lever toward the steering wheel. When the washer lever is operated, the wipers auto-matically make two passes across the wind-shield. The washer continues to operate untilthe lever is released.
NOTE: In winter conditions where screen washer
icing occurs, a winter screen wash additive containing an anti-freeze component maybe used. Only fluids specifically intendedfor this purpose should be used. Ensurethat undiluted additive is not spilt upon thevehicle paintwork and that engine coolantanti-freeze is not used for this purpose ordamage to the paintwork may occur. HXG199J

WARNING: Fuel vapors are dangerous. Before refuel-
ing, always stop the engine and never allowsparks or open flames near the filler area. Ifyou need to replace the filler cap, use agenuine Hyundai replacement part.
If you open the fuel filler cap during high
ambient temperatures, a slight "pressuresound" may be heard. This is normal andnot a cause for concern.
Whenever you open the fuel filler cap, turn
it slowly.
The fuel-filler flap may be opened from insidethe vehicle by pulling up on the fuel-filler flapopener located below the left of the driver's sidecrash pad. NOTE: If the fuel-filler flap will not open because ice has formed around it, tap lightly or pushon it to break the ice and release it. Do notlever the flap. If necessary, spray around theflap with an approved de-icer fluid (do notuse radiator anti-freeze) or move the vehicleto a warm place and allow the ice to melt.

o Pay particular attention to the driving
conditions whenever using the cruise control system.
o During cruise-speed driving with manual transmission vehicle, do not shift intoneutral without depressing the clutchpedal, since the engine will be overrevved.If this happens, depress the clutch pedalor release the main switch.
o During normal cruise control operation, when the set button is activated or reac-tivated after applying the brakes, thecruise control will energize after approxi-mately 3 seconds. This delay is normal.

1. Push the control button "SET (COAST)". The vehicle will decelerate.
2. When the desired speed is obtained, re- lease the control button. Whilst the control switch is pushed, the vehicle speed willgradually decrease.
WARNING:
o Keep the main switch off when not using the cruise control.
o Do not use the cruise control when it may not be safe to keep the car at a constant speed, for instance, driving inheavy or varying traffic, or on slippery(rainy, icy or snow-covered) or windingroads or over 6% up-hill or down-hillroads.

the heating and cooling system. With the "Recirculation" mode selected, air from
within the passenger compartment will be drawn through the heating system heated or cooledaccording to the function selected. NOTE:
o It should be noted that prolonged opera- tion of the heating in "recirculation" modewill give rise to fogging of the windscreenand side windows and the air within thepassenger compartment will becomestale. In addition, prolonged use of theair conditioning with the "Recirculation"mode selected may result in the air withinthe passenger compartment becomingexcessively dry.
o When the ignition switch is turned "ON" the air intake control will be changed to"FRESH" mode (regardless of switch po-sition). This is normal operation.

1- 74 B740D01Y-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 speed ofthe air conditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air conditioning off to avoid the possibility of the engine over-heating.
o During winter months or in periods when the air conditioning is not used regularly, run theair conditioning once every month for a fewminutes. This will help circulate the lubri-cants and keep your system in peak operat-ing condition.

FM broadcasts are transmitted at high frequency and do not bend to follow the earth's surface.Because of this, FM broadcasts generally beginto fade at short distances from the station. Also,FM signals are easily affected by buildings, moun-tains, or other obstructions. These can result incertain listening conditions which might lead youto believe a problem exists with your radio. Thefollowing conditions are normal and do not indi-cate radio trouble:

AM reception
AM broadcasts can be received at greater dis- tances than FM broadcasts. This is because AMradio waves are transmitted at low frequency.These long, low frequency radio waves canfollow the curvature of the earth rather thantravelling straight out into the ionosphere. Inaddition, they curve around obstructions so thatthey can provide better signal coverage.

FM reception
SSAR010A
AM and FM radio signals are broadcast from transmitter towers located around your city. Theyare intercepted by the radio antenna on your car.This signal is then received by the radio and sentto your car speakers.When a strong radio signal has reached yourvehicle, the precise engineering of your audiosystem ensures high quality reproduction. How-ever, in some cases the signal coming to yourvehicle is not strong and clear. This can be dueto factors such as the distance from the radiostation, closeness of other strong radio stationsor the presence of buildings, bridges or otherlarge obstructions in the area.
