WARNING:
If you suspect brake trouble, have your brakes checked by a Hyundai dealer as soon aspossible. Driving your car with a problem ineither the brake electrical system or brakehydraulic system is dangerous, and couldresult in serious injury or death.
The brake vacuum warning light should come onwhen the vacuum level in brake booster de-scends to about 275 mmHg or below. The brakesystem is designed to stop the vehicle withreserve assist if brake pedal is held down. Thisreserve is greatly reduced each time you releasethe brake. Without vacuum assist your vehiclecan still be stopped by pushing much harder onbrake pedal, however the stopping distance maybe much longer. If the light comes on at anyother time, you should slow the vehicle and bring

o Ensure that the engine is not over-revved
by upshifting before the tachometer needle enters the red zone.
o Do not coast with the shift lever at the neutral position.
o When descending long gradients, make use of the engine braking to assist thefootbrake to avoid brake fade or over-heating.
o When slippery conditions are encoun- tered, increased caution should be exer-cised when gear changing, braking oraccelerating. Abrupt changes in speedmay cause a loss of traction or control ofthe vehicle.
o During cold weather, shifting may be dif- ficult until the transmission lubricant haswarmed up. This is normal and not harm-ful to the transmission.
o If you've come to a complete stop and it's hard to shift into 1 st
or R(Reverse), put
the shift lever in N(Neutral) position andrelease the clutch. Press the clutch pedalback down, and then shift into 1 st
or
R(Reverse) gear position.
o Do not use the shift lever as a handrest during driving, as this can result in pre-mature wear of the transmission shiftforks. C070B01A-EAT
Using the Clutch
The clutch should be pressed all the way to the
floor before shifting, then released slowly. Theclutch pedal should aways be used after fullyreturning to the original position. Do not restyour foot on the clutch pedal whilst driving. Thiscan cause unnecessary wear.
Do not partially engage the clutch to hold the
car on an incline. This causes unnecessarywear. Use the parking brake to hold the car onan incline. Do not operate the clutch pedalrapidly and repeatedly.
The shift points as shown above are recom-
mended for optimum fuel economy and per-formance. C070E03A-EAT

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- 9
o Ensure that the overdrive switch is at the
"ON" position for maximum economy.
o If rapid acceleration is required, fully de- press the accelerator pedal. In this condi- tion, the kickdown mechanism will be oper-ated and the transmission will automaticallydownshift according to the vehicle speed.
C120A02A-EAT
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (Not all models)
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed
to prevent wheel lock-up during sudden braking or on hazardous road surfaces. The ABS con-trol module monitors the wheel speed and con-trols the pressure applied to each brake. Thus,in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABSwill increase vehicle control 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 beheard in the engine compartment whilst brak-ing. These conditions are normal and indi-cate that the anti-lock brake system is func-tioning properly. WARNING: ABS will not prevent accidents due to im-
proper or dangerous driving manoeuvres. Even though vehicle control is improvedduring emergency braking, always maintaina safe distance between you and objectsahead. Vehicle speeds should always bereduced during extreme road conditions.
The braking distance for cars equipped with
an anti-lock braking system may be longerthan for those without it in the followingroad conditions.
o Driving on rough, gravel or snow-cov- ered roads.
o Driving with tire chains installed.
o Driving on roads where the road surface is pitted or has different surface height.
These roads should be driven at reduced
speeds. The safety features of an ABS equipped vehicle should not be tested byhigh speed driving or cornering. This couldendanger the safety of yourself or others.
