To ensure that sufficient vacuum exists within the brake system dur-ing cold weather start-up condi- tions, it is necessary to run the engine at idle after starting the en-gine. NOTE: Fluid levels, such as engine oil, engine coolant, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid, should be checked daily and/or weekly, orwhenever you refuel. Further details are described in the "CONSUMER INFORMATION" sec-tion. B020A01P-GAT During the running-in period for the first 1,000km(600miles), it is advisable to drive your new vehicle using the following precautions as a guideline toaid long life as well as future economy and performance.
1. Do not race the engine at high
speeds.
2. Avoid rapid starting, acceleration,
braking and prolonged high-speedrunning.
3. Keep to the running-in speed limit
shown below.
Please note that the legal speed limitsdisplayed must be adhered to.

B350B01A-AAT Windshield Washer Operation To use the windshield washer, pull the wiper/washer lever toward the steer- ing wheel. When the washer lever isoperated, the wipers automatically make two passes across the wind- shield. The washer continues to oper-ate until the lever is released. NOTE:
o Do not operate the washer more
than 15 seconds at a time or when the fluid reservoir is empty.
o In icy or freezing weather, be
sure the wiper blades are notfrozen to the glass prior to oper- ating the wipers. HSRFL2116
4.LOW :
Speed operation the interval adjuster switch.
5.HIGH: Speed operation the interval
adjuster switch.
NOTE:
o Before operating the wipers in cold weather, check to be sure that the wiper blades are not fro- zen to the windshield. Attempt-ing to operate the wipers while the blades are frozen to the wind- shield could cause the motor toburn out.
o If the wipers stop during opera-
tion because of ice or some otherobstruction on the windshield, the wiper motor could burn out even if the wiper switch is turnedoff. If this occurs, promptly stop the vehicle, turn off the ignition switch, and clean the windshieldto allow proper wiper operation.
o Do not use the wipers when the
windshield is dry:doing so couldscratch the windshield and wear the blades prematurely.
WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER SWITCH
C180A02P-GAT The windshield wiper and washer switch can be operated with the igni- tion switch at the "ON" or "START"position. Move the switch to operate the windshield wipers or spray the washer fluid. Windshield wipers
1. : The rear window wiper starts to operate three times after the washer fluid sprays onto the rear window.
2.OFF
3.INT: The interval between wipers
can be varied from 2 to 10 seconds by turning. HSRFL2111

B350C01O-AAT Adjustable Intermittent Wiper Operation (If installed) To use the intermittent wiper feature, place the wiper switch in the "INT" position. With the switch in this posi- tion, the interval between wipes can bevaried from approximately 1 to 18 sec- onds by turning the interval adjuster barrel. HSRFL2117
o In areas where water freezes in
winter, use windshield washerantifreeze.
Mist Wiper Operation If a single wipe is desired in mist, push the windshield wiper and washer con- trol lever upwards. HSRFL2119 C190A02P-GAT Tail gate window wiper and washer switch (Minibus/Van)
1. : The rear window wiper starts
to operate three times after the washer fluid sprays onto the rear window.
2.OFF
3.INT: The interval between wipes op-
erates every 1.5 seconds inter- mittently.
4.ON : The rear window wiper starts
to operate continuously.
5. : The washer fluid will be sprayed onto the rear window and thewiper operates while the rearwindow wiper barrel is placed in this position. HSRFL2118

23HEADLIGHT LEVELING DEVICE SYSTEM
C210A04P-GAT (If installed) To adjust the headlight beam level according to the number of the pas- sengers and the loading weight in thecargo, turn the beam leveling switch. The higher the number of the switch position, the lower the headlight beamlevel. Always keep the headlight beam at the proper leveling position, or headlightsmay dazzle other road users. Listed chart is the examples of proper switch settings. HSRFL210
Do not operate the washer continu-ously for more than 15 seconds orwhen the fluid reservoir is empty; this could damage the system. Do not op- erate the wiper when the window isdry; this can result in scratching as well as premature wiper blade wear. For the reason stated above,do notoperate the washer when the washer fluid reservoir is empty. NOTE:
o Before operating the wiper in cold
weather, check to be sure that the wiper blade is not frozen to the rear window. Attempting tooperate the wiper while the blade is frozen to the rear window could cause the motor to burn out.
o If the wiper stops during opera- tion because of ice or some otherobstruction on the rear window,the wiper motor could burn out even if the wiper switch is turned off. If this occurs, promptly stopthe vehicle, turn off the ignition switch, and clean the rear win- dow to allow proper wiper opera-tion. o Do not use the wiper when the
rear window is dry; doing socould scratch the rear window and wear the blade prematurely.

STARTING AND OPERATING

D180C01P-GAT Battery The capacity of the battery is reduced at low temperatutes.This is an inevitable result of its chemi- cal and physical properties. This is why a very cold battery, particularlyone that is not fully charged anyway, will only deliver a fraction of the starter current which is normally available.It is recommended that you have the battery checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer before the start ofcold weather and, if necessary, have it charged. This not only ensures reliable starting,but a battery which is kept fully charged also has a longer life. C160G02A-AAT To Keep Locks from Freezing To keep the locks from freezing, squirt an approved de-icer fluid or glycerineinto the key opening. If a lock is cov- ered with ice, squirt it with an approved de-icing fluid to remove the ice. If thelock is frozen internally, you may be able to thaw it out by using a heated key. Handle the heated key with careto avoid burning your fingers. NOTE: The proper temperature for using the immobilizer key is from -40°C to 80°C. If you heat the immobilizer key over 80°C to open the frozenlock, it may cause damage to the transponder in its head.
D180G01P-GAT Door locks To prevent the door locks from freez- ing up, the lock cylinders should be masked with tape, etc., when washingthe vehicle in cold weather to prevent the entrance of water.
D180D01P-GAT Washer fluid To ensure proper operation of the wind- shield or rear window at low tempera-tures, anti-freeze should be added to the washer fluid at a rate of one part antifreeze to one part water. D180E01P-GAT Wiper blades Before operating the wipers, check the wiper blades to confirm that they arenot frozen to the windshield or tailgate. If the blades are frozen to the wind- shield or tailgate, do not operate thewipers until the ice has melted and the blades are freed. D180F01P-GAT Ventilation slots The ventilation slots in the headlight housing on the assistant seat side should be brushed clear after a heavysnowfall so that the operation of the heating and ventilation systems will not be impaired.
