WARNING: Fuel vapors are dangerous. Before refueling,always stop the engine and never allow sparksor open flames near the filler area. If you needto replace the filler cap, use a genuine Hyundaireplacement part.If you open the fuel filler cap during highambient temperatures, a slight "pressuresound" may be heard. This is normal and nota cause for concern.Whenever you open the fuel filler cap, turn itslowly.

Fresh Recirculation
With the " " mode selected, air enters the vehicle from outside and is heated or cooledaccording to the other functions selected.With the " " mode selected, air from within thepassenger compartment is drawn through theheating system and heated or cooled accordingto the other functions selected.
o Pay particular attention to the driving con-
ditions whenever using the cruise controlsystem.
o During cruise-control driving with a manual transmission vehicle, do not shiftinto neutral without depressing the clutchpedal or the engine will be overrevved. Ifthis happens, depress the clutch pedal orrelease the main switch.
o During normal cruise control operation, when the "SET" button is activated orreactivated after applying the brakes, thecruise control will energize after approxi-mately 3 seconds. This delay is normal.
There are four controls for the heating and cool-ing system. They are:

NOTE:
o It should be noted that prolonged opera-
tion of the heating system in "Recircula-tion" mode will give rise to fogging of thewindshield and side windows and the airwithin the passenger compartment willbecome stale. In addition, prolonged useof the air conditioning with the "Recircu-lation" mode selected may result in the airwithin the passenger compartment be-coming excessively dry.
o When the ignition switch is turned "ON",
the air intake control will change to ( )
mode (regardless of the switch position).
This is normal operation. The air intake
control operates in "AUTO" mode when turning the ignition to the ON position if the"AUTO" mode was used before shuttingoff the engine.
This is used to direct the flow of air. Air can be directed to the floor, dashboard outlets, or wind-shield. Four symbols are used to represent Face,Bi-Level, Floor and Floor-Defrost air position.

B740D01Y-AAT Operation Tips
o If the interior of the car is hot when you first get
in, open the windows for a few minutes to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air conditioning sys- tem, keep all windows closed to keep hot airout.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy traffic, shift to a lower gear. This increases engine speed,which in turn increases the speed of the airconditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air conditioning off to avoid the possibility of the engine overheat-ing.
o During winter months or in periods when the air conditioning is not used regularly, run theair conditioning once every month for a fewminutes. This will help circulate the lubricantsand keep your system in peak operatingcondition.
B760A05A-GAT AIR CONDITIONER FILTER (FOR EVAPORATOR AND BLOWERUNIT) (If installed) The air conditioner filter is located in front of the evaporator unit behind the glove box.It operates to decrease the amount of pollutantsentering the car.To replace the air conditioner filter, refer to thepage 6-15. CAUTION:
o Replace the filter every 20,000 km (12,000
miles) or once a year.If the car is being driven in severe condi-tions such as dusty, rough roads, morefrequent air conditioner filter inspectionsand changes are required.
o When the air flow rate is decreased, it must be checked at authorized dealer.

AM reception
IonosphereFM reception
SSAR010A FM broadcasts are transmitted at high frequen- cies and do not bend to follow the earth's surface.Because of this, FM broadcasts generally beginto fade at short distances from the station. Also,FM signals are easily affected by buildings, moun-tains, or other obstructions. These can result incertain listening conditions which might lead youto believe a problem exists with your radio. Thefollowing conditions are normal and do not indi-cate radio trouble:
AM broadcasts can be received at greater dis-tances than FM broadcasts. This is because AMradio waves are transmitted at low frequencies.These long, low frequency radio waves canfollow the curvature of the earth rather thantravelling straight out into the ionosphere. Inaddition, they curve around obstructions so thatthey can provide better signal coverage.
B750A02A-AAT STEREO SOUND SYSTEM How Car Audio Works AM and FM radio signals are broadcast from transmitter towers located around your city. Theyare intercepted by the radio antenna on your car.This signal is then received by the radio and sentto your car speakers.When a strong radio signal has reached yourvehicle, the precise engineering of your audiosystem ensures the best possible quality repro-duction. However, in some cases the signalcoming to your vehicle may not be strong andclear. This can be due to factors such as thedistance from the radio station, closeness ofother strong radio stations or the presence ofbuildings, bridges or other large obstructions inthe area.

WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open the windows immediately. o Do not inhale exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation. o Be sure the exhaust system does not leak. The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If you hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the car, have the exhau st
system checked as soon as possible by your Hyundai dealer. o Do not run the engine in an enclosed area. Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the engine in your garage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out. o Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car. If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an open area with
the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior. If you must drive with the tail gate open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary:1. Close all windows. 2. Open side vents. 3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the windshield are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.
