The charging system warning light
should illuminate when the ignition
switch is turned to the "ON" position
and should be extinguished when the
engine is started. If the light fails to
illuminate when the ignition is turned
"ON" or fails to extinguish after starting
the engine, the nearest Hyundai dealer
should be contacted. If the light illumi-
nates whilst the vehicle is being driven,
stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so and check the condition of the
generator drive belt. If the belt is in SB2100I-E

The tail gate warning light indicates
when the tail gate is open or is not fully
closed. Ensure that the light has extin-
guished prior to driving the vehicle. SB210P1-E
LOW FUEL LEVEL
WARNING LIGHT
The low fuel warning light serves to
warn the driver that the remaining fuel
quantity is approximately 9 litres and
that the vehicle should be refuelled. If
the vehicle is driven for an extended
period with the low fuel warning light
illuminated there exists a possibility
that misfiring due to fuel shortage may
occur. This situation must be avoided
to prevent damage to the catalyst oc-
curring.
recommended to assist in bringing the
vehicle to rest. The vehicle must not be
driven once brake failure has occurred
until the system has been repaired and
is functioning normally.
The braking system employs a vacuum
servo in order that the pedal efforts are
reduced. Power for the servo is derived
from the engine and therefore, in the
event of the engine stopping or the
vehicle being towed, pedal efforts will
be substantially increased.
place and the tension is satisfactory,
the advice of a Hyundai dealer should
be sought.
CAUTION:
If the drive belt (generator belt) is
loose, broken, or missing while the
vehicle is driving, there may be a
serious malfunction, engine could
overheat because this belt also drives
the water pump.

TOR LIGHT
This light illuminates when there is a
malfunction of an exhaust gas related
component, and the system is not func-
tioning properly so that the exhaust gas
regulation values are not satisfied. This
light will illuminate when the ignition key
is tuned to the "ON" position, and will go
out after the engine start. If it illumi-

BRAKE PAD WEAR INDICATOR
The front brake disc pads are fitted with
an audible wear indicator which will
cause a high pitched noise to be emit-
ted when the remaining amount of fric-
tion lining is below the specified value.
When the wear indicator is heard, the
brake pads should be replaced without
delay to avoid damage occurring to the
brake discs and a severe reduction in
braking efficiency.
B900A01A-EAT
ACOUSTIC WARNING SOUND
(Not all models)
The acoustic warning chime sounds
when the tail lights are on and the door
in driver side is open. This prevents the
battery from discharging when the car
is left with the tail lights on. The chime
sounds until the tail lights are turned off. HTB006A
The fuel gauge indicates the quantity of
fuel remaining in the fuel tank.
NOTE:
The fuel gauge is not intended to
give other than an approximate indi-
cation of the fuel level and is unsuit-
able for the purposes of calculating
fuel consumption figures.

HTB206 CAUTION:
o Do not attempt to engage reverse gear when the car is in motion.
o To avoid damaging the selector mechanism, do not use the gear shift lever as a hand rest. Releasethe lever immediately the shift iscompleted.
o To avoid premature clutch wear,
do not use the clutch pedal as afoot rest, and do not hold thevehicle on a gradient using theclutch.
o Ensure that the engine is not over-revved by upshifting beforethe tachometer needle enters thered zone.
o Do not coast with the shift lever at the neutral position.
o When descending long gradi- ents, make use of the engine brak-ing to assist the footbrake toavoid brake fade or over-heating.
o When slippery conditions are en- countered, increased cautionshould be exercised when gear changing, braking or accelerat-

o During cold weather, shifting may be difficult until the transaxle lu-bricant has warmed up. This isnormal and not harmful to thetransaxle.
o If you 've come to a complete
stop and it's hard to shift into 1st or R(Reverse), put the shift lever in N(Neutral) position and releasethe clutch. Press the clutch pedalback down, and then shift into1st or R(Reverse) gear position.
o Do not use the shift lever as a handrest during driving, as thiscan result in premature wear ofthe transaxle shift forks.
o Always ensure that the periodic
maintenance services are performedby a Hyundai dealer at the time and/or mileage intervals specified.
o Use the air conditioning only when necessary.

C090A01A-GAT AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transaxle has four forward speeds and one reverse speed. It has a conven- tional shift pattern as shown in theillustration. At night, with the first posi-tion of the multi-function switch, theappropriate symbol on the shift patternindicator will be illuminated according to the range selected. CAUTION:
Never shift into "R" or "P" positionwhile the vehicle is moving. NOTE:
Depress the brake pedal and push the button when shift-ing. Push the button when shift- ing. The selector lever can be shifted freely.
For optimum fuel economy, acceler-ate gradually. The transaxle will auto- matically shift to the second, third and overdrive gears.

C090H01A-EAT NOTE:
o The brake pedal should be de-
pressed when shifting from NEU- TRAL to a forward or reversegear.
o The brake pedal fully depressed
in order to move the shift lever from the "P" (Park) position to any of the other positions.
o It is always possible to shift from "R", "N", "D", "2", "L" position.

C090I02A-EAT
CAUTION:
o Shift into "R" and "P" only when the vehicle has completely stopped.
o Do not accelerate the engine in reverse or any of the forward positions with the brakes applied.
o Always apply the footbrake when shifting from "P" or "N", to "R", "D", "2" or "L" position.
o Do not use the "P" (Park) posi- tion in place of the parking brake. Always set the parking brake,shift the transaxle into "P" (Park)and turn off the ignition when you leave the vehicle, even mo- mentarily. Never leave the vehicleunattended whilst the engine isrunning.
o Check the automatic transaxle fluid level regularly, and add fluid as necessary. See the maintenance schedulefor the proper fluid recommen-dation. FC120D1-E General Operating Instructions
o The button in the selector handle
must be depressed before the se- lector can be moved.
o The engine may only be started
when the selector is at position "P" or "N".
o Ensure that the footbrake is firmly applied when shifting from "P" or "N" to "D", "2", "L" or "R" and viceversa.
o Always engage the parking brake when the vehicle is unattended,never use the "P" position in place ofthe parking brake.
o Under normal circumstances, the selector should be placed in the "D"position and the transaxle allowed to select the most ideal ratio for the circumstances. In this position maxi-mum fuel economy will be achieved.
o When descending steep gradients where engine braking is required,the selector should be placed at the "2" or "L" position depending upon the vehicle speed.
