WARNING: Fuel vapors are dangerous. Before refueling, always stop the engine and never allow sparks or open flames near the filler area. If you need to replace the filler cap, use a genuine Hyundai replacement part. If you open the fuel filler cap during high ambient temperatures, a slight "pressure sound" may be heard. This is normal and not a cause for concern. Whenever you open the fuel filler cap, turn it slowly.

In addition to the lower-mounted rear stoplights on either side of the car, the high mounted rear stoplight in the center of the rear window also lights when the brakes are applied.

B560A01HP-GAT REMOTE FUEL-FILLER LID RELEASE
The fuel-filler lid may be opened from inside the vehicle by pulling up on the fuel-filler lid release lever located below the right of the driver's side crash pad. NOTE: If the fuel-filler lid will not open because ice has formed around it, tap lightly or push on the lid to break the ice and release the lid. Do not pry on the lid. If necessary, spray around the lid with an approved de-icer fluid (do not use radiator anti-freeze) or move the vehicle to a warm place and allow the ice to melt.

There are four controls for the heating and cool- ing system. They are:
1. Fan speed control. This is used to turn the fan on and select the fan speed.
2. Air intake control.
This allows you to select fresh outside air or recirculation inside air.
3. Temperature control. This is used to turn the heating system on and off and to select the degree of heating de- sired.
4. Air flow control. This is used to direct the flow of air. Air can be directed to the floor, dashboard outlets, or windshield. Five symbols are used to represent Face, Bi-Level, Floor, Floor- Defrost and Defrost air positions.o During cruise-control driving with a
manual transmission vehicle, do not shift into neutral without depressing the clutch pedal or the engine will be overrevved. If this happens, depress the clutch pedal or release the main switch.
o During normal cruise control operation,
when the "SET" button is activated or reactivated after applying the brakes, the cruise control will energize after approxi- mately 3 seconds. This delay is normal.
B670C01HP
The blower fan speed, and therefore the volume of air delivered from the system, may be con- trolled manually by setting the blower control between the "1" and "4" position.
B670C01Y-AAT Air Intake Control This is used to select fresh outside air or recircu- lating inside air.
Fresh Recirculation
With the " " mode selected, air enters the vehicle from outside and is heated or cooled according to the other functions selected. With the " " mode selected, air from within the passenger compartment is drawn through the heating system and heated or cooled according to the other functions selected.

NOTE:
o It should be noted that prolonged opera-
tion of the heating system in "Recircula-tion" mode will give rise to fogging of the windshield and side windows and the air within the passenger compartment will become stale. In addition, prolonged use of the air conditioning with the "Recircu- lation" mode selected may result in the air within the passenger compartment be- coming 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. The air intake control
operates in "AUTO" mode when turning the ignition to the ON position if the "AUTO" mode was used before shutting off the engine.
This is used to direct the flow of air. Air can be directed to the floor, dashboard outlets, or wind- shield. Four symbols are used to represent Face, Bi-Level, Floor and Floor-Defrost air position.

1- 78 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 sys- tem, keep all windows closed to keep hot air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy traffic, shift
to a lower gear. This increases engine speed, which in turn increases the speed of the air conditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air conditioning off
to avoid the possibility of the engine overheat- ing.
o During winter months or in periods when the air conditioning is not used regularly, run the air conditioning once every month for a few minutes. This will help circulate the lubricants and keep your system in peak operating condition.
B760A04A-GAT AIR FILTER (FOR EVAPORATOR AND BLOWER UNIT) (If installed) The air filter is located in front of the evaporator unit behind the glove box. It operates to decrease pollutants from entering the car and to filter the air. To replace the air filter, refer to the page 6-15. CAUTION:
o Replace the filter every 20,000 km (12,000
miles) or once a year.If the car is being driven in severe condi- tions such as dusty, rough roads, more frequent air filter inspections and changes are required.
o When the air flow rate is decreased, it
must be checked at authorized dealer.

AM reception
IonosphereFM reception
SSAR010A FM broadcasts are transmitted at high frequen- cies and do not bend to follow the earth's surface. Because of this, FM broadcasts generally begin to fade at short distances from the station. Also, FM signals are easily affected by buildings, moun- tains, or other obstructions. These can result in certain listening conditions which might lead you to believe a problem exists with your radio. The following conditions are normal and do not indi- cate radio trouble:
AM broadcasts can be received at greater dis-tances than FM broadcasts. This is because AM radio waves are transmitted at low frequencies. These long, low frequency radio waves can follow the curvature of the earth rather than travelling straight out into the ionosphere. In addition, they curve around obstructions so that they can provide better signal coverage.
B750A02A-AAT STEREO SOUND SYSTEM How Car Audio Works AM and FM radio signals are broadcast from transmitter towers located around your city. They are intercepted by the radio antenna on your car. This signal is then received by the radio and sent to your car speakers. When a strong radio signal has reached your vehicle, the precise engineering of your audio system ensures the best possible quality repro- duction. However, in some cases the signal coming to your vehicle may not be strong and clear. This can be due to factors such as the distance from the radio station, closeness of other strong radio stations or the presence of buildings, bridges or other large obstructions in the area.

WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open the windows immediately. o Do not inhale exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation. o Be sure the exhaust system does not leak. The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If you hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the car, have the exhau st
system checked as soon as possible by your Hyundai dealer. o Do not run the engine in an enclosed area. Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the engine in your garage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out. o Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car. If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an open area with
the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior. If you must drive with the tail gate open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary:1. Close all windows. 2. Open side vents. 3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the windshield are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.
