D140A02P-GAT ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) (If installed) The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed to prevent wheel lock-upduring sudden braking or on hazard- ous road surfaces. A computer moni- tors the wheel speed and controls thepressure applied to each brake. Thus, in emergency situations or on slick roads, your ABS will increase vehiclecontrol during braking. NOTE: During ABS operation, a slight pul- sation may be felt in the brake pedalwhen the brakes are applied. Also, a noise may be heard in the engine compartment while driving. Theseconditions are normal and indicate that the anti-lock brake system is functioning properly. WARNING:
ABS will not prevent accidents dueto improper or dangerous driving maneuvers. Even though vehicle control is improved during emer-gency braking, always maintain a safe distance between you and ob- jects ahead. Vehicle speeds shouldalways be reduced during extreme road conditions. The braking distance for carsequipped with an anti-lock braking system may be longer than for those without it in the following road con-ditions. During these conditions, the ve- hicle should be driven at reducedspeeds:
o On rough, gravel or snow-cov- ered roads.
o With tire chains installed.
o On roads where the road surface
is pitted or has different surface height.
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 trans-mission). If your vehicle is facing downhill, turn the front wheels away from the curb to help keep thevehicle from rolling. If there is no curb or if it is required by other conditions to keep the vehicle fromrolling, block the wheels.
o Under some conditions your park-
ing brake can freeze in the engagedposition. This is most likely to hap- pen when there is an accumulation of snow or ice around or near therear brakes or if the brakes are wet. if there is a risk that the parking brake may freeze, apply it only tem-porarily while you put the gear se- lector lever in "P" (automatic trans- mission) or in first or reverse gear(manual transmission) and block the rear wheels so the vehicle cannot roll. Then release the parking brake.

by the system at very close range (approximately 300 mm).
WARNING:
If you don't hear an audible warn- ing sound or if the buzzer sounds intermittently when shifting the gearto "R" position, this indicate a mal- function in the back warning sys- tem. If this occurs, have your ve-hicle checked your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. C400B01P-GAT Operation of the back warning system Operating condition: o The back warning system switch is

DRIVING FOR ECONOMY
C140A01A-GAT You can save fuel and get more kilo- meters 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 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 wheneverpossible. Always maintain a safe distance from other vehicles so you can avoidunnecessary braking. This also re- duces 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.

o Keep your car in good condition. Forbetter fuel economy and reduced maintenance costs, maintain your car in accordance with the mainte- nance schedule in Section 6. If youdrive your car in severe conditions, more frequent maintenance is re- quired (see Section 6 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum service, your Hyundai should bekept clean and free of corrosivematerials. It is especially important that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be al- lowed to accumulate on the under-side of the car. This extra weight can result in increased fuel con- sumption and also contribute to cor-rosion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unneces-
sary weight in your car. Weight re-duces fuel economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than
necessary. If you are waiting (andnot in traffic), turn off your engine and restart only when you're ready to go. o Remember, your Hyundai does not
require extended warm-up. As soonas the engine is running smoothly, you can drive away. In very cold weather, however, give your enginea slightly longer warm-up period.
o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine.
Lugging is driving too slowly in toohigh a gear resulting in the engine bucking. If this happens, shift to a lower gear. Over-revving is racingthe engine beyond its safe limit. This can be avoided by shifting at the recommended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air conditioning system is oper-ated by engine power so your fueleconomy is reduced when you use it.
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.

D180K01P-GAT Snow tires The use of snow tires is recommended for driving in snow and ice. To pre- serve driving stability, mount snow tires of the same size and tread pattern onall four wheels. Snow tires worn more than 50% are no longer suitable for use as snow tires.Snow tires which do not meet specifi- cations must not be used. NOTE: The laws and regulations concern- ing snow tires (driving speed, re- quired use, type, etc.) vary. Find out and follow the laws and regula-tions in your area.D180L01P-GAT Tire chains If tire chains are to be used, be sure that they are mounted on the rearwheels. Use only tire chains which are de- signed for use with the tires mountedon the vehicle; use of the incorrect size or type of chain could result in damage to the vehicle body.Before driving over long stretches of road which are free of snow, you should remove the chains to avoid damage tothe tires. NOTE: The laws and regulations concern- ing tire chains vary. Find out and follow the laws and regulations in your area.
D180H01P-GAT Parking brake If the atmospheric temperature is be- low freezing, park the vehicle with thegearshift lever in 1st or reverse and do not engage the parking brake. If the parking brake is engaged and there ismoisture on the brake linings, the lin- ings could become frozen to the brake drums, making it impossible to releasethe parking brake. When parking on a steep slope, turn the front wheels in towards the kerband chock the wheels. D180I01P-GAT Washing the vehicle The salt and other chemicals spread on winter roads in some areas can have a detrimental effect on a vehicle body. You should therefore wash thevehicle as often as convenient in ac- cordance with our care-instruction. Have a preservative applied and theunderfloor protection checked at an authorized HYUNDAI dealer before and after the cold weather season.
