Engine oil is essential to the performance and service of the engine. It is suggested that youcheck the oil level at least once a week innormal use and more often if you are on a tripor driving in severe conditions. SH, SG or SG/CD (API) multi-grade and fuel efficient oil is recommended. NOTE: SAE 5W-20 is not recommended for sus- tained high speed vehicle operation.

Checking the Air Conditioning Operation
1. Start the engine and let it run at a fast idle for
several minutes with the air conditioning set at the maximum cold setting.
2. If the air coming out of the in-dash vents is not cold, have the air conditioning systeminspected by your Hyundai dealer.
CAUTION: Running the air conditioning system for extended periods of time with a low refriger-ant level may damage the compressor. G140C01A-AAT
Lubrication To lubricate the compressor and the seals in the system, the air conditioning should be runfor at least 10 minutes each week. This isparticularly important during cool weather whenthe air conditioning system is not otherwise inuse.
G150A01A-GAT
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL FREEPLAY
To check the steering wheel freeplay, stop the
car with the wheels pointed straight ahead and gently move the steering wheel back and forth.Use very light finger pressure and be sensitiveto changes in resistance that mark the limits ofthe freeplay. If the freeplay is greater thanspecified, have it inspected by your Hyundaidealer and adjusted or repaired if necessary.
G150A01FC
G140D01S-GAT
Checking the Compressor Drive Belt
When the air conditioning is being used regular- ly, the compressor drive belt tension should bechecked at least once a month. To check the drive belt tension, press down on the belt halfway between the engine crankshaftand compressor pulleys. Pressing with yourfinger, you should not be able to deflect this beltanymore than 8.0 mm. If you have the instru-ments to check it with a force of 98N (22 lb.),the deflection should be approx. 8.0 mm (0.315in.). If the belt is too loose, have it adjusted byyour Hyundai dealer.

TIRE CHAINS Tire chains, if necessary should be installed on
the front wheels. Be sure that the chains are installed in accordance with the manufacturer'sinstructions.
To minimize tire and chain wear, do not contin-
ue to use tire chains when they are no longerneeded.
WARNING:
o When driving on roads covered with snow or ice, drive at less than 30 km/h (20mph).
o Use the SAE "S" class or wire & plastic chains.
o If you have noise caused by chains con- tacting the body, retighten the chain toavoid contact with the vehicle body. I060A01FC-GAT
TIRE ROTATION
Tires should be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000miles). If you notice that tires are wearing un-evenly between rotations, have the car checkedby a Hyundai dealer so the cause may becorrected. After rotating, adjust the tire pressures and be sure to check wheel nut torque. WARNING:
o Do not use the temporary spare tire for tire rotation.
o Do not mix bias-ply and radial-ply tires under any circumstances. This may cause dangerous handling characteristics.
I040A01S-GAT
SNOW TIRES
If you equip your car with snow tires, theyshould be the same size and have the sameload capacity as the original tires. Snow tiresshould be installed on all four wheels; other-wise, poor handling may result. Snow tires should carry 28 kPa (4 psi) more air pressure than the pressure recommended forthe standard tires on the tire label on, or up tothe maximum pressure shown on the tiresidewall whichever is less. Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75 mph) when your car is equipped with snow tires.
Tire pressures should be checked at leastmonthly. Proper tire inflation pressures shouldbe maintained for these reasons:
o Lower-than-recommended tire pressures
cause uneven tread wear and poor han- dling.
o Higher-than-recommended tire pressures increase the chance of damage from im-pacts and cause uneven tread wear.
CAUTION: Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tires are cold. That is, after the car has been parked for at least three hours and hasn't been driv-en more than 1.6 km or one mile sincestarting up.
o Check the pressure of your spare tire each time you check the pressure ofother tires.
o Never overload your car. Be especially careful about overloading if you equipyour car with a luggage rack or car topcarrier.
HA1409Spare tire
o To prevent body damage, retighten the
chains after driving 0.5 ~ 1 km.

TIRE BALANCING
A tire that is out of balance may affect handling and tire wear. The tires on your Hyundai werebalanced before the car was delivered but mayneed balancing again during the years you ownthe car. Whenever a tire is dismounted for repair, it should be rebalanced before being reinstalled on the car. I080A01A-AAT
TIRE TRACTION Tire traction can be reduced if you drive on
worn tires, tires that are improperly inflated or on slippery road surfaces. Tires should be re- placed when tread wear indicators appear. To reduce the possibility of losing control, slowdown whenever there is rain, snow or ice on theroad. The original tires on your car have tread wear
indicators. The tread wear indicators appearwhen the tread depth is 1.6 mm (0.06 in.). Thetire should be replaced when these appear as asolid bar across two or more grooves of thetread. Always replace your tires with those ofthe recommended size. If you change wheels,the new wheel's rim width and offset must meetHyundai specification.
WARNING:
o Driving on worn-out tires is dangerous! Worn-out tires can cause loss of brakingeffectiveness, steering control and trac-tion. When replacing tires, never mix ra-dial and bias-ply tires on the same car. Ifyou replace radial tires with bias-ply tires,they must be installed in sets of four. I100A01FC-GAT
SPARE TIRE AND TOOLS
Your Hyundai is delivered with the following: Spare tire and wheel Wheel nut wrench, Wrench bar, Spanner, Screw

o Using tires and wheels of other than the recommended sizes may cause unusual handling characteristics that may causedeath, serious injury or property dam-age.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
1- 22
Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supplemen- tal Restraint (Airbag) System. The indications of the system's presence are the letters "SRS AIR BAG" embossed on the airbag pad cover in the steering wheel and the passenger's side front panel pad above the glove box. The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags in- stalled under the pad covers in the centre of the steering wheel and the passenger's side front panel above the glove box. The purpose of the SRS is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front passenger with additional protection than that offered by the seat belt system alone, in case of a frontal impact of sufficient severity. NOTE:Be sure to read information about the SRS
on the labels provided on the backside of the sun visor and in the glove box.
WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is de- signed to work with, and be supplemen- tal to, the driver's and the passenger's three point seat belt systems and is not a substitute for them. Therefore your seat belts must be worn at all times while the vehicle is in motion. In addi- tion, the airbags deploy only in certain frontal impact conditions severe enough to likely cause significant injury to the vehicle occupants.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the airbags only when an impact is suffi-ciently severe and when the impact angle is less than 30° from the forward longi- tudinal axis of the vehicle and will not deploy in side, rear or rollover impacts. Additionally, the airbags will only de- ploy once. Thus, seat belts must be worn at all times.

Rear impact
Side Impact RolloverB240C01FC
o Front airbags are not intended to de-
ploy in side-impact, rear-impact or rollover crashes. In addition, airbags will not normally deploy in frontal crashes below the deployment thresh- old speed.
o For maximum safety protection in all types of crashes, all occupants includ-ing the driver should always wear their seat belts whether or not an airbag is also provided at their seating position to minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash. Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to the airbag while the vehicle is in motion.
o The SRS airbag system must deploy very rapidly to provide protection in acrash. If an occupant is out of position because of not wearing a seat belt, the airbag may forcefully contact the occu- pant causing serious or fatal injuries.
