G220B01A-AAT Checking Engine Cooling FanThe engine cooling fan should come on auto- matically if the engine coolant temperature is high.

o Charge batteries only in a well ventilated
area.
o Do not permit flames, sparks or smoking in the area.
o Keep children away from the area. G210B01A-AAT Checking the BatteryKeep the battery clean. Any evidence of corro- sion around the battery posts or terminals should be removed using a solution of household bak- ing soda and warm water. After the battery terminals are dry, cover them with a light coat- ing of grease. G220A01A-AAT CHECKING ELECTRIC COOLING FANS WARNING: The cooling fan is controlled by engine cool- ant temperature and may sometimes oper- ate even when the engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan, so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the en- gine coolant temperature decreases the fan will automatically shut off. This is a normal condition.
G210A01A-AAT CHECKING THE BATTERYWARNING: Batteries can be dangerous! When working with batteries, carefully observe the follow- ing precautions to avoid serious injuries. The fluid in the battery contains a strong solu- tion of sulfuric acid, which is poisonous and highly corrosive. Be careful not to spill it on yourself or the car. If you do spill battery fluid on yourself, immediately do the following:
o If battery fluid is on your skin, flush the
affected areas with water for at least 15 minutes and then seek medical assistance.
o If battery fluid is in your eyes, rinse out your eyes with water and get medical assistanceas soon as possible. While you are being driven to get medical assistance, continue to rinse your eyes by using a sponge or soft cloth saturated with water.
o If you swallow battery fluid, drink a large quantity of water or milk followed by milk ofmagnesia, eat a raw egg or drink vegetable oil. Get medical assistance as soon as possible.
While batteries are being charged (either by a battery charger or by the vehicle’s alternator), they produce explosive gases. Always observe these warnings to prevent injuries from occur- ring:

REPLACING HEADLIGHT BULBS Before attempting to replace a headlight bulb,
be sure the switch is turned to the "OFF" position. The next paragraph shows how to reach the
headlight bulbs so they may be changed. Besure to replace the burned-out bulb with one of the same number and wattage rating. WARNING:Be sure to carefully wipe away any water
drained out in this manner, because the fuel mixed in the water might be ignited and result in a fire.
NOTE:The driver's side headlight bulb can be
changed after lifting the engine coolant res-ervoir by hand.
CAUTION:Keep the lamps out of contact with petro-
leum product, such as oil, gasoline, etc.
G260A01HP Replacement instructions:
1. Allow the bulb to cool. Wear eye protection.
2. Always grasp the bulb by its plastic base, avoid touching the glass.
3. Disconnect the power cord from the bulb base in the back of the headlight.
4. Push the bulb spring for removing the head-
light bulb.
5. Remove the protective cap from the re- placement bulb and install the new bulb bymatching the plastic base with the headlight hole. Retighten the bulb spring and recon- nect the power cord.
6. Use the protective cap and carton to dis- pose of the old bulb.
7. Check for proper headlight aim. G270A02Y-AAT HEADLIGHT BULB

o Ensure that all windows, mirrors and lamps are clean.
o Check condition of all tyres.
o Ensure that no fluid leaks are evident.
o Ensure that the area around the vehicle is clear before driving off.
YB020B1-E AFTER ENTERING THE VEHICLE
o Ensure that all occupants fasten and cor- rectly adjust seat belts.
o Ensure that seat and headrestraint positions are adjusted for optimum safety, control and comfort.
o Adjust interior and exterior rear view mir- rors.
o Verify correct operation of lamps, horn and other electrical equipment.
o Ensure that warning lamps illuminate when ignition is turned on.
NOTE: Fluid levels such as engine oil, engine cool- ant, brake and windscreen washer fluidshould be checked daily or at each refuel-ling, whichever occurs sooner. B020A01FC-EAT RUNNING IN YOUR NEW HYUNDAIThe longevity and performance of the vehicle are greatly affected by the care exercised dur-ing the first 1000 miles of motoring. Because ofmodern manufacturing techniques, rigid guide-lines regarding maximum road speeds havebecome unnecessary. However, certain pre-cautions should be observed in order to obtainthe best possible performance and useful lifefrom the vehicle.
1) Do not race the engine without a load (i.e revving the engine in neutral).
2) During the first 500 miles the maximum engine speed should be restricted to 3000rpm and gradually increased thereafter.
3) Avoid prolonged constant speed operation. The internal components of the engine willbecome run-in more quickly if the operation
speed is varied during the running in period.
4) Never allow the engine to labour. Use the gearbox freely and avoid large throttle open-ings when the engine speed is below 1500rpm.
5) Avoid rapid acceleration and maximum throttle openings.
6) Avoid harsh braking during the first 100 miles of urban motoring or 1000 miles ofmotorway driving to allow the friction facingsof the brake pads and shoes to bed againstthe discs and drums properly.
7) No trailer towing should be undertaken dur- ing the running-in period. B880A01HP-EAT IMMOBILISER SYSTEM

Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-diagonal
braking systems. This means you still havebraking on two wheels even if one of the dualsystems should fail. With only one of the dualsystems working, more than normal pedal traveland greater pedal pressure are required to stopthe car. Also, the car will not stop in as short adistance with only half of the brake systemworking. If the brakes fail whilst you are driving,shift to a lower gear for additional engine brak-ing and stop the car as soon as it is safe to doso.
