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.

18TRAILER OR VEHICLE TOWING
YC200A1-E If you are considering towing with your car, you should first check with your Local Laws to determine their legal requirements.Since laws vary from county to county, the requirements for towing trailers, cars, or other types of vehicles orapparatus may differ. Ask your Hyundai dealer for further details before towing.
CAUTION:
Do not do any towing with your car during its first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) in order to allow the engine to have properly run-in. Failure to heedthis caution may result in serious engine or transaxle damage.
! YC200C3-A Trailer Brakes If your trailer is equipped with a braking system, make sure it conforms to fed-eral and/or local regulations and that it is properly installed and operating cor- rectly. NOTE: If you tow a trailer or vehicle, your car will require more frequent main-tenance due to the additional load. See Maintenance Under Severe Usage Conditions" on page 5-6.
YC200B2-E Trailer Hitches Select the proper hitch and ball combi- nation, making sure that its location is compatible with that of the trailer or vehicle being towed.Use a quality non-equalizing hitch which distributes the nose weight uniformly throughout the chassis. The hitch should be bolted securely to the car and installed by a qualifiedtechnician.

CAUTION:
o Never connect a trailer brake sys- tem directly to the vehicle brake system.
o When towing a trailer on steep grades (in excess of 12%) payclose attention to the engine cool-ant temperature gauge to ensure the engine does not overheat. If the needle of the coolant tem-perature gauge moves across the dial towards "H" (HOT), pull over and stop as soon as it is safe todo so, and allow the engine to idle until it cools down. You may proceed once the engine hascooled sufficiently.
! YC200D2-E Safety Cables Should the hitch connection between your car and the trailer or vehicle youare towing fail, the trailer or vehicle could wander dangerously across other lanes of traffic and ultimately leave theroadway. To eliminate this potentially dangerous situation, safety cables, at- tached between your car and the traileror towed vehicle, are required.
Nose weight Total trailer weight
C190E01GK-EAT Trailer Weight Limit Nose weights can be increased or decreased by re-distributing the load in the trailer.This can be verified by checking the total weight of the loaded trailer and then checking the nose weight. NOTE:
1. Never load the trailer with more
weight in the back than in the front. About 60% of the trailerload should be in the front half on the trailer and the remaining 40% in the rear.

7. Swithc "ON" the main beam
headlamps before carefully remov- ing the jumper cables have been removed, switch "OFF" the main beam geadlamps. SD040A2-E If the temperature gauge indicates overheating:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as
it is safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P"
(automatic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the car or steam is coming out fromunder the bonnet stop the engine. Do not open the bonnet until thecoolant has stopped running or the steaming has stopped. If there is no visible loss of coolant and no steam,leave the engine 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 satisfac-tory,check for 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).
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
1. Ensure that the booster battery is 12 volt type. If the booster battery is installed in another vehicle, ensure that the two vehicles are not touch- ing.
2. Turn off all unnecessary electrical equipment in both vehicles.
3. Ensure that the engine of the ve- hicle providing the jump start is run- ning prior to connection of the jump cables.
4. Connect the red jump cable to the positive (+) terminal of the boosterbattery and the other end to thepositive (+) terminal of the dis- charged battery.
5. Attach the black jump cable to the negative (-) terminal of thebooster battery, and the other end to a ground point within the enginecompartment of the vehicle with the flat battery. Do not connect to the negative battery terminal of the flatbattery since sparks may be gener- ated with the subsequent risk of explosion.
6. Raise the booster vehicle engine speed to 2,000 r.p.m. and start theengine of the vehicle with the flatbattery. CAUTION:
If the jump cable is incorrectly in-stalled, damage to the vehicle elec-trical system may occur, in particu- lar the electronic components such as the Fuel Injection system com- puter and the Automatic Transaxle computer. The battery must neverbe disconnected whilst the engine is running.

D080D02A-EAT Emergency Towing For emergency towing when no com- mercial tow vehicle is available, attach a tow cable, chain or strap to one of the towing hooks under the front/rear ofyour car. Do not attempt to tow your vehicle in this manner on any unpaved surface. This could result in seriousdamage to your car. Nor should towing be attempted if the wheels, drive train, axles, steering orbrakes are damaged. Before towing, be sure the transaxle is in neutral and the key is in "ACC" (with the engine off)or in the "ON" position (with the engine running). A driver must be in the towed car to steer it and operate the brakes. Front
Rear
!CAUTION:
o If the car is being towed with all four wheels on the ground, it can be towed only from the front. Be sure that the transaxle is in neu- tral. Do not tow at speeds greaterthan 30 mph (50 km/h) and for more than 15 miles (25 km).
o Be sure the steering is unlocked by placing the key in the "ACC"position. A driver must be in the towed vehicle to operate thesteering and brakes
IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYS
D120A01A-GAT If you lose your keys, many Hyundai dealers can make you a new key if you have your key number. If you lock the keys inside your car and you cannotobtain a new key, many Hyundai deal- ers can use special tools to open the door for you. Information about the keyof immobilizer system (If Installed) will be found on page 1-4.

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.
