Driving Hints ESP does not actively apply brakes. Be sure to decelerate the car suffi-ciently before entering curves.
CAUTION:
When the ESP indicator blinks, SLIPcontrol has been activated. It also means that the road is slippery or your car is accelerating excessively.In this situation, release foot pres- sure from the accelerator pedal and maintain moderate speed.
WARNING:
Electronic stability program is onlya driving aid; all normal precau-tions for driving in inclement weather and on slippery road sur- faces should be observed.
!
ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM (ESP)
C310A01LZ-AAT (Not all models)
On slippery road surfaces, the elec- tronic stability program (ESP) limitsthe drive wheels from spinning exces- sively, thus helping the car to acceler- ate. It also provides sufficient drivingforce and steering performance as the car turns at accelerated speeds. SLIP Control Limits the drive wheels from spinning excessively during starting or while making accelerated turns on slipperyroads to avoid losing the driving force of the front wheels. C310B01LZ-AAT ESP ON/OFF Mode When the ESP is running, the ESP indicator in the instrument cluster will blink.If you turn the system off by pressing the ESP switch, the ESP-OFF indica- tor will come on and stay on. In theESP-OFF mode, the SLIP control will be deactivated. Adjust you driving ac- cordingly. To turn the system back on,press the switch again. The ESP-OFF indicator should go off. NOTE:
1) The ESP mode will automatically
be turned ON after the engine is turned off and restarted.
2) When the electronic stability pro- gram is operating properly, youcan feel a slight pulsation in thevehicle. This is only the effect of brake control and indicates noth- ing unusual.
3) When the engine starts, a click is heard from the engine compart-ment; however, this is only thesound of traction control being checked.

SC150A1-F You can save fuel and get more miles from your car if you follow these sug- gestions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a
moderate rate. Don't make "jack- rabbit" starts or full-throttle shiftsand maintain a steady cruising speed. Don't race between stop- lights. Try to adjust your speed tothat of the other traffic so you don't have to change speeds unneces- sarily.Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos- sible. Al-ways maintain a safe dis- tance from other vehicles so youcan avoid unnecessary brak-ing. This also reduces brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel yourcar uses. Driving at a moderate speed, especially on the highway, isone of the most effective ways to reduce fuel consumption.
DRIVING FOR ECONOMY
4) When moving out of the mud or fresh snow, pressing the accel- erator pedal may not cause the engine speed to increase due to ESP operation.
C310D01LZ-AAT Indicators and Warning The indicators should illuminate when the ignition key is turned to ON orSTART but should go out after three seconds. If the indicators do not illuminate, orthe ESP or ESP-OFF indicator does not go out after 3 seconds, have it checked by Hyundai authorised re-pairer. Should there be any unusual condi- tions in the device while driving, ESP- OFF indicator illuminates as a warn- ing.If ESP-OFF indicator illuminates, pull your car to a safe place and stop the engine.Then, start the engine again to check if the ESP-OFF indicator goes out. If the indicator remains lit even after the engine has been started, haveyour car checked by an Hyundai authorised repairer. NOTE:
1) When the ESP-OFF indicator il-
luminates, electronic stability program is automatically deacti- vated for safety.
2) This warning function is not pro- vided when the driver selects theESP-OFF mode.

o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. This can increase fuel consumption and also increase wear on these components. In addition, driving with your foot resting on the brake pedalmay cause the brakes to overheat, which reduces their effectiveness and may lead to more serious con-sequences.
o Take care of your tires. Keep them
inflated to the recommended pres-sure. Incorrect inflation, either too much or too little, results in unnec- essary tire wear. Check the tire pres-sures at least once a month.
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned
correctly. Improper alignment canresult from hitting curbs or driving too fast over irregular surfaces. Poor alignment causes faster tire wearand may also result in other prob- lems as well as greater fuel con- sumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For better fuel economy and reducedmaintenance costs, maintain yourcar in accordance with the mainte- nance schedule in Section 5. If you drive your car in severe conditions, more frequent maintenance is re-quired (see Section 5 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum service, your car should be keptclean and free of corrosive materi-als. It is especially important that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed to accumulate on the underside of thecar. This extra weight can result in increased fuel consumption and also contribute to corrosion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unneces- sary weight in your car. Weight is anenemy of good fuel economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than necessary. If you are waiting (andnot in traffic), turn off your engineand restart only when you're ready to go.
o Remember, your car does not re- quire extended warm-up. As soonas the engine is running smoothly, you can drive away. In very coldweather, however, give your engine a slightly longer warm-up period. o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine.
Lugging is driving too slowly in too high a gear resulting in the engine bucking. If this happens to you, shift to a lower gear.Over-revving is racing the engine
beyond its safe limit. This can be avoided by shifting at the recom-mended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly.
The air conditioning system is
operated by the engine power so your fuel economy is reduced when you use it.

SC170A1-E The onset of winter conditions subject motor vehicles to greater operating demands. Therefore, the following suggestions will assist in maintainingpeak performance and reliability dur- ing these periods:WINTER MOTORING
ZC170B1-E Electrical System Winter conditions impose severe de- mands upon vehicle electrical systems,particularly the charging circuit. The battery condition and performance along with the alternator performanceand drive belt condition should be checked prior to the onset of winter.SC160A1-F Avoid braking or gear changing in cor- ners, especially when roads are wet. Ideally, corners should always be taken under gentle acceleration. If you followthese suggestions, tire wear will be held to a minimum.SMOOTH CORNERING
ZC170C1-E Anti-freeze/Corrosion inhibitor The cooling system must always con- tain an Ethylene-Glycol based anti- freeze solution. The system is filledduring manufacture with solution of the correct strength which should be checked before the onset of winter andadjusted or changed as required. NOTE: The anti-freeze solution contains a corrosion inhibitor to prevent deg-radation of the aluminum castings contained within the engine. There- fore, never, drain the system andrefill with water only.

7. The vehicle/trailer combination is
more affected by crosswind and buffeting. When being passed by a large ve- hicle, keep a constant speed andsteer straight ahead. If there is too much wind buffeting, slow down to get out of the other vehicle's airturbulence.
8. When parking your car and trailer,
especially on a hill, be sure to followall the normal precautions. Turn your front wheel into the curb, set the parking brake firmly, and putthe transaxle in 1st or Reverse (manual) or Park (automatic). In addition, place wheel chocks ateach of the trailer's tires.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes,
start your vehicle and trailer mov-ing, and then apply the trailer brake controller by hand to be sure the brakes are working. This lets youcheck your electrical connection at the same time.
10.During your trip, check occasion- ally to be sure that the load issecure, and that the lights and any trailer brakes are still working.
YC200E1-E Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check towbar hitch
and safety cable connections as well as proper operation of the trailer running lights, brake lights, and turn signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a mod- erate speed (Less than 60mph).
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than normal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking effi-
ciency, do not tow a trailer with thetransaxle engaged in an overdrive gear.
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pres-
sure of all tires on the trailer and your car. Low tire pressure can seriously affect the handling. Also check the spare tire.

5VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
2MAINTENANCE AND SER- VICING REQUIREMENTS
SF020A1-E To ensure the continued reliability and safety of the vehicle, certain routinemaintenance operations are required at specific mileage or time intervals. It is the responsibility of the vehicle owner to ensure that the maintenance schedules shown in both this OwnersManual and the Warranty and Service Passport are adhered to. The new vehicle warranty may be invalidated if the routine maintenance operations are not performed in line with the recommendations outlined andthe safety and durability of the vehicle adversely affected. It is recommended that all mainte- nance operations with the exception of the daily operating checks are en-trusted to a Hyundai dealer to ensure that the latest repair and maintenance procedures and specialized servicingtools are employed. In addition, the use of genuine Hyundai replacement parts will ensure that the vehicle safetyand performance will not be compro- mised. NOTE:
The inspection and testing of cer-
tain electronic fuel injection/enginemanagement and automatic trans- mission control systems requirespecialised electronic equipment specifically designed for Hyundai vehicles. The use of general pur-pose electrical test equipment may result in damage to the control unit microprocessors. SF020C2-E
Specified Scheduled Procedures
The Specified scheduled procedures
are listed in the maintenance charts beginning at page 5-3. The operations specified must be performed at thetime or mileage intervals shown irre- spective of whether the mileage inter- val has been reached before the speci-fied time interval.
Certain lubricants and components
degrade with both time and mileage (e.g. engine oil and brake fluid) and therefore it is not permissable to basethe maintenance schedule upon mile- age alone. It is strongly recommended that the maintenance operations areperformed by the factory-trained or distributor-trained technicians at your Hyundai dealer because of the needfor specialized knowledge and tooling and to ensure that no possibility of invalidating the manufacturers warrantyexists. The maintenance schedules relate to
vehicles operated under normal condi-tions, vehicles which are operated under adverse conditions will require more frequent maintenance which isdescribed at page 5-6.

Engine Oil Level
The engine oil level should be checked
with the engine at normal operating temperature and the vehicle parked upon level ground.
Prior to checking the level, the ve-
hicle should be allowed to stand forseveral minutes after the engine has been switched off to allow the oil todrain back to the sump. Withdraw the dipstick and wipe it with
a clean rag. Replace the dipstick fully and withdraw again when the oil level may be read from the stick.

oil is present between the two marks on the stick. It is not necessary to add oil if the level is above the lower mark and in any case, oil must not beadded to the degree that the level exceeds the upper mark. Replace the dipstick fully after checking the level.
WARNING:
Be very careful not to touch the
radiator hose when checking the engine oil as it may be hot enough to burn you.
NOTE: SAE 5W-20 (5W-30), ILSAC GF-3 engine oil is preferred regardlessof regional option and engine varia- tion. If SAE 5W-20, ILSAC GF-3 engine oil is not available, sec-ondary recommended engine oil for corresponding temperature range can be used.
