DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 4 C070A02HP-GAT OPERATING THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION Your Hyundai's manual transmission has a con- ventional shift pattern. This shift pattern is im- printed on the shift knob. The transmission is fully synchronized in all forward gears so shifting to either a higher or a lower gear is easily accom- plished. NOTE:
o To shift into reverse, rest the lever in
neutral for at least 3 seconds after yourcar is completely stopped. Then move the lever into the reverse position.
o During cold weather, shifting may be dif- ficult until the transmission lubricant has warmed up. This is normal and not harm- ful to the transmission.
o If you 've come to a complete stop and it's hard to shift into 1st or R(Reverse), put the
SSA2090A
NOTE: If the engine were not started within 2 sec- onds after the preheating is completed, turn the ignition key once more to the "LOCK" position during 10 seconds, and then to the "ON" position, in order to preheat again.
5. Operate the accelerator pedal as describedbelow in accordance with the atmospheric temperature and/or engine condition. (Diesel Engine (2.5 TCI) Only)
(1) When the atmospheric temperature is moderate or the engine is warm:Start the engine without depressing the accelerator pedal.
(2) When the atmospheric temperature is
low and the engine is cold: Start the engine while depressing the accelerator pedal. If the atmospheric tem- perature is very low, setting the ignition switch to "ON" for one or two seconds before attempting to start the engine will make it easier to start.
6. Turn the ignition key to the "START" position and release it when the engine starts. C055B01HP-GAT STARTING AND STOPPING THE EN- GINE FOR TURBO CHARGER INTER- COOLER (Diesel Engine)
(1) Do not race the engine or sudden accelerate
the engine immediately after start it. If the engine is cold, allow the engine to idle for several seconds before it is driven to ensure sufficient lubrication of the turbo charger unit.
(2) After high speed or extended driving, requir- ing a heavy engine load, the engine should be allowed to idle, as shown in the chart below, before turning it off. This idle time will allow the turbo charger to cool prior to shutting the engine off.
Required Idle Time
High speed driving Driving Condition
Normal drivingNot necessary About 20 seconds About 1 minute
Up to 100km/h
Up to 80 km/h
Steep mountain slopes or contin- ued driving in excess of 100km/h About 2 minutes
WARNING: Do not turn the engine off immediately after it has been subjected to a heavy load. Doing so may cause severe damage to the engine or turbo charger unit.

o Don’t "ride" the brake pedal. Resting your foot
on the brake pedal while driving can be dan- gerous because it can result in the brakes overheating and losing their effectiveness. It also increases the wear of the brake com- ponents.
o If a tire goes flat while you are driving, apply
the brakes gently and keep the car pointed straight ahead while you slow down. When you are moving slowly enough for it to be safe to do so, pull off the road and stop in a safe place.
o If your car is equipped with an automatic
transmission, don’t let your car creep for- ward. To avoid creeping forward, keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal when the car is stopped.
o Use caution when parking on a hill. Engage the parking brake and place the gear selector lever in "P" (automatic transmission) or in first or reverse gear (manual transmission). If your car is facing downhill, turn the front wheels into the curb to help keep the car from rolling. If your car is facing uphill, turn the front wheels away from the curb to help keep the car from rolling. If there is no curb or if it is required by other conditions to keep the car from rolling, block the wheels.
o Under some conditions your parking brake
can freeze in the engaged position. This is most likely to happen when there is an ac- cumulation of snow or ice around or near the rear brakes or if the brakes are wet. If there is a risk that the parking brake may freeze, apply it only temporarily while you put thegear selector lever in "P" (automatic) or in first or reverse gear (manual transmission) and block the rear wheels so the car cannot roll. Then release the parking brake.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with the accelerator pedal. This can cause the transmission to overheat. Always use the brake pedal or parking brake.
C140A01A-AAT DRIVING FOR ECONOMY You can save fuel and get more miles from your 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 cruising speed. Don't race between stoplights. Try to adjust your speed to that of the other traffic so you don't have to change speeds unneces- sarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible. Always maintain a safe distance from other vehicles so you can avoid unnecessary brak- ing. This also reduces brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your car uses. Driving at a moderate speed, especially on the high- way, is one of the most effective ways to reduce fuel consumption.
o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. This
can increase fuel consumption and also in- crease wear on these components. In addi- tion, driving with your foot resting on the brake pedal may cause the brakes to overheat,which reduces their effectiveness and may lead to more serious consequences.
o Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated to the recommended pressure. Incorrect infla- tion, either too much or too little, results in unnecessary tire wear. Check the tire pres- sures at least once a month.
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly.
Improper alignment can result from hitting curbs or driving too fast over irregular surfac- es. Poor alignment causes faster tire wear and may also result in other problems as well as greater fuel consumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For better
fuel economy and reduced maintenance costs, maintain your car in accordance with the maintenance schedule in Section 5. If you drive your car in severe conditions, more frequent maintenance is required (see Sec- tion 5 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum service, your Hyundai should be kept clean and free of corrosive materials. It is especially important that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed to accumulate on the underside of the car. This extra weight can result in increased fuel con- sumption and also contribute to corrosion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary weight
in your car. Weight reduces 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 when you're ready to go.

C160H01A-AAT Use Approved Anti-Freeze in Window Washer System To keep the water in the window washer system from freezing, add an approved anti-freeze solu- tion in accordance with instructions on the con- tainer. Window washer anti-freeze is available from Hyundai dealers and most auto parts out- lets. Do not use engine coolant or other types of anti-freeze as these may damage the finish.
C160F01A-AAT Check Spark Plugs and Ignition System Inspect your spark plugs as described in Section 6 and replace them if necessary. Also check all ignition wiring and components to be sure they are not cracked, worn or damaged in any way.
C160G02A-GAT To Keep Locks from Freezing To keep the locks from freezing, squirt an ap- proved de-icer fluid or glycerine into the key opening. If a lock is covered with ice, squirt it with an approved de-icing fluid to remove the ice. If the lock is frozen internally, you may be able to thaw it out by using a heated key. Handle the heated key with care to avoid
injury.
NOTE: The proper temperature for using the immo- bilizer key is from -40°C (-40°F) to 80°C (176°F). If you heat the immobilizer key over 80°C (176°F) to open the frozen lock, it may cause damage to the transponder in its head. C160I01HP-GAT Don’t Let Your Parking Brake Freeze Under some conditions your parking brake can freeze in the engaged position. This is most likely to happen when there is an accumulation of snow or ice around or near the rear brakes or if the brakes are wet. If there is a risk the parking brake may freeze, apply it only temporarily while you put the gear selector lever in "P" (automatic) or in first or reverse gear (manual transmission) and block the rear wheels so the car cannot roll. Then release the parking brake. C160K01A-AAT Carry Emergency Equipment Depending on the severity of the weather where you drive your car, you should carry appropriate emergency equipment. Some of the items you may want to carry include tire chains, tow straps or chains, flashlight, emergency flares, sand, a shovel, jumper cables, a window scraper, gloves, ground cloth, coveralls, a blanket, etc.
C160J01A-AAT Don’t Let Ice and Snow Accumulate Underneath Under some conditions, snow and ice can build up under the fenders and interfere with the steer- ing. When driving in severe winter conditions where this may happen, you should periodically check underneath the car to be sure the move- ment of the front wheels and the steering compo- nents is not obstructed.
C180A01A-AAT USE OF LIGHTS Check your lights regularly for correct operation and always keep them clean. When driving dur- ing the day in conditions of poor visibility, it is helpful to drive with headlights on low beam. This enables you to be seen as well as to see.
C170A01A-AAT HIGHER SPEED MOTORING Pre-Trip Inspections 1. Tires: Adjust the tire inflation pressures to specifica- tion. Low tire inflation pressures will result in overheating and possible failure of the tires. Avoid using worn or damaged tires which may result in reduced traction or tire failure. NOTE: Never exceed the maximum tire inflation pres- sure shown on the tires. 2. Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil: High speed travel consumes more fuel than urban motoring. Do not forget to check both engine coolant and engine oil. 3. Drive belt: A loose or damaged drive belt may result in overheating of the engine.

5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent
load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pressure of all
tires on the trailer and your car. Low tire pressure can seriously affect the handling.
Also check the spare tire.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more af-
fected by crosswind and buffeting. When being passed by a large vehicle, keep a constant speed and steer straight ahead. If there is too much wind buffeting slow down to get out of the other vehicle's air turbulence.
8. When parking your car and trailer, especially
on a hill, be sure to follow all the normal precautions. Turn your front wheel into the curb, set the parking brake firmly, and put the transmission in 1st or Reverse (manual) or Park (automatic). In addition, place wheel
chocks at each of the trailer's tires.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving, and then apply the trailer brake controller by hand to be sure the brakes are working. This lets you check your
electrical connection at the same time.
10. During your trip, check occasionally to be
sure that the load is secure, and that the lights and any trailer brakes are still working.
11. Avoid jerky starts, sudden acceleration or sudden stops.
12. Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.
13. Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat, resulting in reduced braking effi- ciency.
14. When going down a hill, shift into a lower gear
and use the engine braking effect. When ascending a long grade, downshift the trans- mission to a lower gear and reduce speed to reduce chances of engine overloading and/or overheating.
15. If you have to stop while going uphill, do not
hold the vehicle in place by pressing on the accelerator. This can cause the automatic transmission to overheat. Use the parking brake or footbrake.
NOTE: When towing, check transmission fluid more frequently. CAUTION: If overheating should occur when towing, (temperature gauge reads near red zone), taking the following action may reduce or
eliminate the problem.
1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Reduce highway speed.
3. Select a lower gear when going uphill.
4. While in stop and go traffic, place the gear selector in park or neutral and idle theengine at a higher speed.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
3-2 tinue to apply water to the affected area with a sponge or cloth.
o The gas produced by the battery during the
jump-start operation is highly explosive. Do not smoke or allow a spark or an open flame in the vicinity.
o The battery being used to provide the jump
start must be 12-volt. If you cannot determine that it is a 12-volt battery, do not attempt to use it for the jump start.
o To jump start a car with a discharged battery,
follow this procedure exactly:
1. If the booster battery is installed in another vehicle, be sure the two vehicles are nottouching.
2. Turn off all unnecessary lights and acces-
sories in both vehicles.
3. Attach the clamps of the jumper cable in the
exact location shown in the illustration. First, attach one clamp of the jumper cable to the positive (+) post or cable of the discharged battery. Then attach the other end of the same cable to the positive (+) post or cable of the booster battery. Next, using the other cable, attach one clamp to the negative (-) post or cable of the booster battery. Then attach the other end of that cable to a solid metal part of the engine away from the battery. Do not connect the cable to any moving part.
4. Start the engine in the car with the booster battery and let it run for a few minutes. This will help to assure that the booster battery is fully charged. During the jumping operation,run the engine in this vehicle at about 2000 rpm.
5. Start the engine in the car with the discharged battery using the normal starting procedure. After the engine starts, leave the jumper cables connected and let the engine run at fast idle or about 2000 rpm for several min- utes.
6. Carefully remove the jumper cables in the reverse order of attachment.
If you do not know why your battery became discharged (because the lights were left on, etc.), have the charging system checked by your Hyundai dealer. visible loss of coolant and no steam, leave theengine running and check to be sure the 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 be satis- factory, check for engine coolant leaking from the radiator, hoses or under the car. (If the air conditioning had been in use, it is normal for cold water to be draining from it when you stop).
WARNING: While the engine is running, keep hands and clothing away from moving parts such as the fan and drive belts to prevent injury.
5. If the water pump drive belt is broken or coolant is leaking out, stop the engine im- mediately and call the nearest Hyundai deal- er for assistance.
WARNING: Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. This can allow coolant to be blown out of the opening and cause serious burns.
6. If you cannot find the cause of the overheat- ing, wait until the engine temperature has returned to normal. Then, if coolant has been lost, carefully add coolant to the reservoir (Page 6-8) to bring the fluid level in the reser- voir up to the halfway mark.
D030A01HP-AAT IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS If your temperature gauge indicates overheating, you experience a loss of power, or hear loud pinging or knocking, the engine is probably too hot. If this happens to you, you should:
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 transmission) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If engine coolant is running out under the car or steam is coming out from under the hood, stop the engine. Do not open the hood until the engine coolant has stopped running or the steaming has stopped. If there is no

7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for fur-
ther signs of overheating. If overheating hap- pens again, call a Hyundai dealer for assis- tance.
CAUTION: Serious loss of coolant indicates there is a leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundai dealer. D040A01HP-GAT SPARE TIREThe following instructions for the FULL SIZE spare tire should be observed: Check inflation pressure as soon as possible after installing the spare tire, and adjust to the specified pressure. The tire pressure should be periodically checked and maintained at the spec- ified pressure while the tire is stored.
