HPC120D1-E General Operating Instructions
o The button in the selector handle must be depressed before the selector 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" or "L" and vice versa.
o Always engage the parking brake when the vehicle is unattended, never use the "P"position in place of the parking brake.
o Under normal circumstances, the selector should be placed in the "D" position and thetransmission allowed to select the most idealratio for the circumstances. In this positionmaximum fuel economy will be achieved.
o When descending steep gradients where engine braking is required, the selectorshould be placed at the "2" or "L" positiondepending upon the vehicle speed.
o When ascending steep gradients and using large throttle openings, the transmission mayrepeatedly change between two adjacentratios. This is a normal characteristic andmay be prevented by selecting "2" or "L"depending upon the vehicle speed.
o Never move the selector to or from the "P" or "N" position with the accelerator de-pressed.
o Only with the brake pedal fully depressed, the shift lever is shifted from "P" (parking)position to other position. (Not all models)
C090I01E-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 shift- ing from "P" or "N", to "R", "D", "2" or"L" position.
o Do not use the "P" (Park) position in place of the parking brake. Always setthe parking brake, shift the transmissioninto "P" (Park) and turn off the ignitionwhen you leave the vehicle, even mo-mentarily. Never leave the vehicle unat-tended whilst the engine is running.
o Check the automatic transmission fluid level regularly, and add fluid as neces-sary. SC130A1-E OVERDRIVE SWITCH
The overdrive switch prevents the transmission upshifting higher than third gear when the switchis turned "OFF". The transmission will startfrom rest in first gear and upshift to second andthird gear depending upon the roadspeed andthrottle opening but will not upshift to fourthgear. When the overdrive switch is turned "ON",the transmission will start from rest in first gearand will upshift, depending upon roadspeed andthrottle opening to second, third and fourthgear. Therefore, when the overdrive switch isturned "OFF", the transmission performs as athree speed unit and the overdrive warning lightlocated in the instrument cluster will be illumi-nated. When the overdrive switch is turned"ON", the transmission functions as a fullyautomatic four speed unit with the maximumfuel economy potential of the vehicle beingrealized.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 12 Driving 4WD Safely
(1) Be sure to wear the seat belt.
(2) Drive at lower speeds in strong crosswinds.
Because of your vehicle's high centre of gravity, its stability will be affected in cross-winds. Slower speeds ensure better vehiclecontrol.
(3) Check the brake condition after driving in wet or muddy conditions. Press the brakeseveral times as you move slowly until youfeel normal braking forces return.
(4) Do not drive the vehicle through water. (i.e. streams, rivers, lakes, etc.)
(5) The stopping distance of the full-time 4WD vehicle differs very little from that of the2WD vehicle.
When driving on a snow-covered road or a slippery, muddy surface, make sure thatyou keep a sufficient distance between yourvehicle and the one ahead of you.
(6) Since the driving torque is always applied to the 4 wheels, the performance of the full-time 4WD vehicle is greatly affected by thecondition of the tyres. Be sure to equip itwith all four tyres of the same size and type.o When replacement of any of the tyres or disc wheels is necessary, replace all ofthem.
o Rotate the tyres and check the tyre pres- sure at regular intervals.
(7) The full-time 4WD vehicle cannot be towed by an ordinary tow truck. Makesure that the vehicle is towed with itsfour wheels raised off the ground. o If the vehicle is towed with its only two
wheels raised off the ground, the 4WDsystem could be damaged.
o In unavoidable case, if the vehicle is being towed with all four wheels on theground, it should be towed only forwarddirection with rope.
o Whilst towing, check the following items.
1. The ignition switch is in "ACC" or"ON".
2. Place the shift lever in neutral (For Automatic Transmission, "N" posi-tion).
3. Release the parking brake.
NOTE: To avoid serious damage to your 4WD ve- hicle, limit towing to 10 mph (15km/h) andnot for more than 1 mile (1.5km) at ANYTIME.

IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START Seek assistance from the nearest Hyundai dealer with regard to the method of ignition and fuelsystem diagnosis.
CAUTION: If the engine refuses to start, no attempt
should be made to push or tow start the vehicle. Vehicles with automatic transmis- sion or fuel injection will not be able to be started in this manner since no drive istransmitted through the automatic trans-mission whilst the engine is not running,and in the case of fuel injected derivatives,the fuel pump will not operate under towstart conditions. In addition, if the vehicle isequipped with an exhaust catalyst, damageto the catalyst may result if the vehicle istow started. HPD020B1-E
IF THE ENGINE CANNOT BE
CRANKED
1. If the vehicle is fitted with manual transmis- sion, ensure that the clutch pedal is de-
pressed whilst cranking the engine. If thevehicle is fitted with automatic transmission,ensure that the transmission selector is atthe "P" or"N" position.
2. Check the battery terminals and connec- tions to ensure that these are clean and alsotight.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER
; For a Petrol Engine The catalytic converter is part of the exhaust emission control system. Its purpose is to re-move certain engine emission products fromthe engine's exhaust. It looks something like amuffler and is located underneath the car in theexhaust system. YH040B1-E
About the Catalytic Converter ; For a Petrol Engine
Exhaust gases passing through the catalytic converter cause it to operate at very high tem-peratures. As a result, the introduction of largeamounts of unburned petrol may cause it tooverheat and create a fire hazard. This can beavoided by observing the following:
o Use only unleaded fuel.
o Maintain your engine in good condition. Ex- tremely high converter temperatures can re- sult from improper operation of the electri-cal, ignition or M.P.I. system.
o If your engine stalls, pings, knocks, or is hard to start, take your car to your Hyundaidealer as soon as possible and have thedifficulty corrected.
o Avoid driving with a very low fuel level.
