CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
1- 62
WARNING: Fuel vapors are dangerous. Before refuel-
ing, always stop the engine and never allowsparks or open flames near the filler area. Ifyou need to replace the filler cap, use agenuine Hyundai replacement part.
If you open the fuel filler cap during high
ambient temperatures, a slight "pressuresound" may be heard. This is normal andnot a cause for concern.
Whenever you open the fuel filler cap, turn
it slowly.
The fuel-filler flap may be opened from insidethe vehicle by pulling up on the fuel-filler flapopener located below the left of the driver's sidecrash pad. NOTE: If the fuel-filler flap will not open because ice has formed around it, tap lightly or pushon it to break the ice and release it. Do notlever the flap. If necessary, spray around theflap with an approved de-icer fluid (do notuse radiator anti-freeze) or move the vehicleto a warm place and allow the ice to melt.

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- 19
CAUTION: If overheating should occur when towing,
(temperature gauge reads near red zone), taking the following action may reduce oreliminate the problem.
1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Reduce highway speed.
3. Select a lower gear when going uphill.
4. Whilst in stop and go traffic, place the gear selector in park or neutral and idle the engine at a higher speed.

Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check towbar and safety cable connections as well as proper operation of the trailer running lights, brake lights, andturn signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a moderate speed (Less than 60 mph)
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than nor- mal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking efficiency and electrical charging performance, do not usefifth gear (manual transmission).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift whilst driving.
6. Check the condition and air pressure of all tyres on the trailer and your car. Low tyrepressure can seriously affect the handling.Also check the spare tyre.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more af- fected by crosswind and buffeting. When being passed by a large vehicle, keep a constant speed and steer straight ahead.If there is too much wind buffeting slowdown to get out of the other vehicle's airturbulence.
8. When parking your car and trailer, especial- ly on a hill, be sure to follow all the normalprecautions. Turn your front wheel into thecurb, set the parking brake firmly, and putthe transmission in 1st or Reverse (manual)or Park (automatic). In addition, place wheelchocks at each of the trailer's tyres. 9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your
vehicle and trailer moving, and then applythe trailer brake controller by hand to besure the brakes are working. This lets youcheck your electrical connection at the sametime.
10. During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure, and that thelights and any trailer brakes are still working.
11. Avoid jerky starts, sudden acceleration or sudden stops.
12. Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.
13. Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat, resulting in reduced brakingefficiency.
14. When going down a hill, shift into a lower gear and use the engine braking effect. When ascending a long grade, downshift the transmission to a lower gear and reducespeed to reduce chances of engine over-loading and/or overheating.
15. If you have to stop whilst going uphill, do not hold the vehicle in place by pressing on theaccelerator. This can cause the automatictransmission to overheat. Use the parkingbrake or footbrake.
NOTE: When towing, check transmission fluid more
frequently.

APPEARANCE CARE
4-2 JE070A1-E
POLISHING
The exterior paint work should be polished with
a proprietary wax polish when water no longer collects in bead form on the paint work. Theinstructions of the product manufacturer shouldbe adhered to. JE120A1-E
WINDOWS A proprietary glass cleaner should be used toclean the inside of the windows. However, therear heated windscreen must only be cleanedusing a light horizontal cleaning action. Careshould be exercised to avoid the use of abra-sive cleaners or contact with items of jewellerywhich may damage the heating elements.
Plastic wheel covers should be cleaned using a
sponge and water. Cast alloy wheels should becleaned using a mild soap or neutral detergent.Abrasive compounds must not be used since inthe event of these damaging the lacquer coat-ing, oxidisation of the aluminium wheel willoccur, spoiling the appearance.
The use of a toothbrush will facilitate cleaning
between the wheel "spokes". and ensure that accidental spillages are imme-diately flushed with water.
Do not use abrasive cleaning materials whichmay damage the bumpers.Avoid subjecting the bumpers to high tempera-tures such as may be encountered in high bakepaint ovens. JE110A1-E
INTERIOR VALETING
The soft trim and carpets should be maintainedwith the regular use of a vacuum cleaner. Heavysoiling should be removed with a dry cleaningagent recommended for this purpose followingthe instructions of the product manufacturer.Paint thinner, solvents or other such cleaningmaterials should not be used since damage tothe upholstery may result.
JE060A1-E
STAIN/SPOT REMOVAL Should tree sap, dead insects or tar prove to be
difficult to remove from the paint film, turpentineor a proprietary paint cutting compound may beused. Ensure that the area to be cleaned is notrubbed intensively to prevent breaking throughthe colour coat and exposing the under coat.
JE080A1-E
BUMPER MAINTENANCE The special material from which the bumpers
are manufactured warrants special attention topreserve the appearance of the bumpers. Avoidcontact with battery electrolyte or brake fluid JE090A1-E
ACCIDENT REPAIRS
In the event of the body work sustaining dam-age, the following points should be noted priorto repairs being undertaken. If body panels are replaced or repaired, anti corrosion treatment must be applied to therepair area. The product used must be compat-ible with those used in manufacture. It is recom-mended that repairs are entrusted to a Hyundaidealer to ensure that replacement parts usedare of the same high quality as those used inmanufacture of the vehicle and that the correctrepair methods and materials will ensure ade-quate levels of corrosion protection and thecontinued validity of the Anti Perforation War-ranty. JE100A1-E
SEAT BELTS
Seat belts should be cleaned only with a mild soap solution. Strong detergents, solvens orbleaches may damage the belt webbing andtherefore reduce the effectiveness of the belt.Belts which display signs of fraying, wear or cutshould be replaced.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING REQUIREMENTS To ensure the continued reliability and safety
of the vehicle, certain routine maintenance operations are required at specific mileage ortime intervals.
It is the responsibility of the vehicle owner to
ensure that the maintenance schedules shownin both this Owner's Manual and the Warrantyand Service Passport are adhered to.
The new vehicle warranty may be invalidated
if the routine maintenance operations are notperformed in line with the recommendationsoutlined and the safety and durability of thevehicle adversely affected.
It is recommended that all maintenance op-
erations with the exception of the daily oper-ating checks are entrusted to a Hyundai dealerto ensure that the latest repair and mainte-nance procedures and specialized servicingtools are employed. In addition, the use ofgenuine Hyundai replacement parts will en-sure that the vehicle safety and performancewill not be compromised. DF020C1-E
Specified Scheduled Procedures The specified scheduled procedures are listed
in the maintenance charts beginning at page5-2. The operations specified must be per-formed at the time or mileage intervals shownirrespective of whether the mileage interval has been reached before the specified time interval.
Certain lubricants and components degrade
with both time and mileage (eg, engine oil andbrake fluid) and therefore it is not permissableto base the maintenance schedule upon mile-age alone. It is strongly recommended thatthe maintenance operations are performed bya Hyundai dealer because of the need forspecialized knowledge and tooling and to en-sure that no possibility of invalidating themanufacturers warranty exists.
The maintenance schedules relate to vehicles
operated under normal conditions, vehicleswhich are operated under adverse conditionswill require more frequent maintenance whichis described at page 5-5. DF020F1-E
SERVICE HISTORY
It is important that all scheduled maintenance
services are recorded in the warranty andservice passport to ensure that proof of main-tenance is available when warranty service isrequired.
