NORMAL CONDITIONS
The Starting Procedure:
1. Insert key, and fasten the seat belt.
2. Depress the clutch pedal fully and place the gearshift lever (manual transaxle) inneutral or the selector lever (automatic transaxle) in "P" (park) position.
3. After turning the ignition key to the "ON" position, make certain all warning lightsand gauges are functioning properly be- fore starting the engine.
4. On vehicles equipped with the diesel pre- heat indicator light, turn the ignition key tothe "ON" position. The diesel pre-heat indi- cator light will first illuminate in amber, and then after a short time, the amber illumina- tion will goes off, indicating that preheating is completed. SC060B1-E FUEL ECONOMY
The following suggestions are made to assist
in achieving the greatest degree of fuel economy.
o Maintaining a constant check on fuel con- sumption will enable the most economical use pattern and driving style to be adopt- ed.
o Avoid using the vehicle for very short jour- neys if possible, particularly when a coldstart is involved.
o Ensure that tyre pressures are maintained
at the correct level.
o Use only the recommended grade of fuel.
o Avoid carrying unnecessary weight, and if a roof rack is in use, remove it as soon aspossible after use.
NOTE: If the engine were not started 10 secondsafter the preheating is completed, turn the ignition key once more to the "LOCK" position, and then to the "ON" position, in order to preheat again. WARNING: Be sure that the clutch is fully depressed when starting a manual transaxle vehicle. Otherwise there is the potential to causedamage to the vehicle or injury to some- one inside or outside the vehicle as a result of the forward or backward move- ment of the vehicle that will occur if the clutch is not depressed when the vehicle is started.
5. Turn the ignition key to the "Start" position and release it when the engine starts.
C055B01B-GAT STARTING AND STOPPING THE EN- GINE FOR TURBO CHARGER INTER-COOLER (DIESEL ENGINE)
(1) Do not race the engine or sudden acceler- ate the engine immediately after start it. If the engine is cold, allow the engine to idle for several seconds before it is driven to ensure sufficient lubrication of the turbo charger unit. (2) After high speed or extended driving, re-
quiring a heavy engine load, the engineshould be allowed to idle about 1 minute before turning it off.This idle time will allow the turbo charger to cool prior to shutting the engine off.
WARNING: Do not turn the engine off immediately after it has been subjected to a heavy load. Doing so may cause severe damage to the engine or turbo charger unit.

SC130A1-E OVERDRIVE SWITCH
The overdrive switch prevents the transaxle upshifting higher than third gear when the switch is turned "OFF". The transaxle will start from rest in first gear and upshift to second and third gear depending upon the roadspeed and throttle opening but will not upshift to fourth gear. When the overdrive switch is turned "ON", the transaxle will start from rest in first gear and will upshift, depending upon roadspeed and throttle opening to second, third and fourth gear. Therefore, when the overdrive switch is turned "OFF", the transaxle performs as a three speed unit and the over- drive warning light located in the instrument cluster will be illuminated. When the overdrive switch is turned "ON", the transaxle functions as a fully automatic four speed unit with the maximum fuel economy potential of the ve- hicle being realized.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade
with the accelerator pedal. This can causethe transmission to overheat. Always use the brake pedal or parking brake.
SC140A1-E
EFFECTIVE BRAKING Braking system performance and friction ma- terial life are greatly affected by the driving style adopted. The following suggestions are made to assist in achieving the best results from the braking system.
o Anticipate the road and conditions ahead in order that heavy braking may be avoided.
o When descending long gradients, use the engine to assist in retarding the vehicle to minimize the possibility of brake fade oc- curring.
o When trailer towing, ensure that the trailer brakes function correctly and use enginebraking to assist the vehicle braking system.
o Use only genuine Hyundai replacement brake pads and shoes to ensure consis-tent friction characteristics and wear rates.
o After driving through deep water (e.g. fording), the brakes may become wet andperformance reduced. Always check brake efficiency after emerging from the water and dry the brakes by lightly depressing the brake pedal several times whilst driv- ing slowly.
o Apply the parking brake only when the vehicle is at rest.
o Since the power assistance provided by the brake servo is derived from the engine,coasting with the engine turned off or tow- ing of the vehicle with the engine turned off will result in greatly increased pedal pres- sures being required to stop the vehicle. SC140B1-E
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (Not all models)
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is de- signed to prevent wheel lock-up during sud- den braking or on hazardous road surfaces. The ABS control module monitors the wheel speed and controls the pressure applied to each brake. Thus, in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABS will increase vehicle con- trol during braking. NOTE: During ABS operation, a slight pulsation may be felt in the brake pedal when the brakes are applied. Also, a noise may be heard in the engine compartment whilst braking. These conditions are normal and indicate that the anti-lock brake system is functioning properly. WARNING: ABS will not prevent accidents due to im-proper or dangerous driving maneuvers. Even though vehicle control is improved during emergency braking, always maintain a safe distance between you and objects ahead. Vehicle speeds should always be reduced during extreme road conditions.

2- 10 C300B01O-GAT TCS ON ModeIn the TCS ON mode, the indicator in the instrument cluster will not be illuminated. NOTE:
1) Turn off the engine. Then restart the
engine, and the TCS mode will auto- matically turn "ON".
2) When the traction control is operating properly, you can feel a slight pulsationin the vehicle. This is only the effect of brake control and indicates nothing unusual. C300D02O-GAT Indicator and WarningThe indicator should illuminate when the igni-
tion key is turned to "ON" or "START", but should go out after three seconds.If the indicator does not illuminate, have it checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer. Should there be any unusual conditions in the device, TCS illuminates as a warning.If TCS illuminates, pull your car to a safe place and stop the engine. Then, start the engine again to check if theTCS indicator goes out.If the indicator remains lit even after the engine has been started, have your car checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer. NOTE: When TCS illuminates, traction control isautomatically deactivated for safety.
Driving hints
TCS does not actively apply brakes. Be sureto decelerate the car sufficiently before enter- ing curves. CAUTION: When the TCS indicator blinks, SLIP con-trol has been activated. It also means that the road is slippery or your car is acceler- ating excessively. In this situation, release foot pressure from the accelerator pedal and maintain moderate speed. WARNING: Traction control is only a driving aid; all normal precautions for driving in inclem- ent weather and on slippery driving sur- faces should be observed. 3) When the engine starts, a click is heard
from the engine compartment; however,this is only the sound of traction control being checked.
4) When moving out of the mud or fresh snow, pressing the accelerator pedalmay not cause the engine speed to increase.
The braking distance for cars equipped with an anti-lock braking system may be longer than for those without it in the following road conditions.
o Driving on rough, gravel or snow-cov-
ered roads.
o Driving with tyre chains installed.
o Driving on roads where the road sur- face is pitted or has different surfaceheight.
These roads should be driven at reduced speeds. The safety features of an ABS equipped vehicle should not be tested by high speed driving or cornering. This could endanger the safety of yourself or others.
C300A01O-EAT BRAKE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (BTCS) (Not all models) On slippery road surfaces, the traction control system (TCS) limits the drive wheels from spinning excessively, thus helping the car to accelerate. It also provides sufficient driving force and steering performance as the car turns at accelerated speeds. SLIP Control Limits the drive wheels from spinning exces- sively during starting or while making acceler- ated turns on slippery roads to avoid losing the driving force of the front wheels.
