I040A02S-GAT
SNOW TIRES If you equip your car with snow tires, they should be the same size and have the same load capacity as the original tires. Snow tires should be installed on all four wheels; other- wise, poor handling may result. Snow tires should carry 28 kPa (4 psi) more air pressure than the pressure recommended for the standard tires on the tire label on the driver's door edge, or up to the maximum pressure shown on the tire sidewall whichever is less. Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75 mph)when your car is equipped with snow tires. I050A01HP-AAT
TIRE CHAINS Tire chains should be installed on the rear wheels. Be sure that the chains are installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instruc- tions. To minimize tire and chain wear, do not con-tinue to use tire chains when they are no longer needed. WARNING: When driving on roads covered with snow or ice, drive at less than 30 km/h (20 mph). Tires should be rotated every 5,000 km (3,000
miles). If you notice that tires are wearing un- evenly between rotations, have the car checked by a Hyundai dealer so the cause may be corrected.After rotating, adjust the tire pressures and be sure to check wheel nut torque. WARNING: Do not mix bias-ply and radial-ply tires un-
der any circumstances. This may cause dan- gerous handling characteristics that may
cause death, serious injury, or property dam- age.
o Lower-than-recommended tire pressures
cause uneven tread wear and poor han-dling.
o Higher-than-recommended tire pressures
increase the chance of damage from im-pacts and cause uneven tread wear.
CAUTION: Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tires are cold. That is, after the car has been parked for at least three hours and hasn't been driven more than 1.6 km or one mile since starting up.
o Check the pressure of your spare tire each time you check the pressure of other tires.
o Never overload your car. Be especially careful about overloading if you equipyour car with a luggage rack or car top carrier.

EQUIPMENT neck. However, care must be exercised when refuelling the vehicle tank from jerry cans or bymeans of a funnel that the fuel being used isunleaded.
The use of leaded fuel in this vehicle will result
in irreversible pollution of the catalyst element.Such pollution will prevent correct operation ofthe catalyst and give rise to increased operat-ing temperatures leading to the catalyst ele-ment melting and restricting the exhaust flowalong with an increase in exhaust emissionlevels.
CAUTION: The vehicle warranty will not extend to dam-
age arising from the use of incorrect fuels.
Unleaded fuel with a Research Octane Number
(RON) of 91 or higher must be used in this vehicle. To prevent accidental filling of the fuel tank with
leaded fuel, a small diameter filler neck alongwith a restrictor flap are fitted to ensure that onlyunleaded fuel pump nozzles may enter the filler

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.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 9
o Ensure that the overdrive switch is at the
"ON" position for maximum economy.
o If rapid acceleration is required, fully de- press the accelerator pedal. In this condi- tion, the kickdown mechanism will be oper-ated and the transmission will automaticallydownshift according to the vehicle speed.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (Not all models)
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed
to prevent wheel lock-up during sudden braking or on hazardous road surfaces. The ABS con-trol module monitors the wheel speed and con-trols the pressure applied to each brake. Thus,in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABSwill increase vehicle control 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 whilst brak-ing. These conditions are normal and indi-cate that the anti-lock brake system is func-tioning properly. WARNING: ABS will not prevent accidents due to im-
proper or dangerous driving manoeuvres. 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.
The braking distance for cars equipped with
an anti-lock braking system may be longerthan for those without it in the followingroad conditions.
o Driving on rough, gravel or snow-cov- ered roads.
o Driving with tire chains installed.
o Driving on roads where the road surface is pitted or has different surface height.
These roads should be driven at reduced
speeds. The safety features of an ABS equipped vehicle should not be tested byhigh speed driving or cornering. This couldendanger the safety of yourself or others.
