3 WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

!
!
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
(If the air conditioning had been in use, it is normal for cold water to bedraining from it when you stop).
D030A01TG-AAT If your temperature gauge indicates overheating, you experience a loss of power, or hear loud pinging or knock- ing, the engine is probably too hot. Ifthis happens to you, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as
it is safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P"
and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If engine coolant is running out under
the car or steam is coming out fromthe hood, stop the engine. Do not open the hood until the engine coolant has stopped running or thesteaming has stopped. If there is no visible loss of coolant and no steam, leave the engine running and checkto be sure the engine cooling fan is operating. If the fan is not running, turn the engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is missing. If it is not missing,check to see that it is tight. If thedrive belt seems to be satisfactory, check for engine coolant leaking from the radiator, hoses or under the car.
6. Carefully remove the jumper cables
in the reverse order of attachment.
If you do not know why your batterybecame discharged (because the lightswere left on, etc.), have the charging system checked by your Hyundai dealer. WARNING:
While the engine is running, keephands and clothing away from mov-ing parts such as the fan and drive belts to prevent injury.
5. If the water pump drive belt is broken or coolant is leaking out, stop theengine immediately and call the near- est Hyundai dealer for assistance.
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap whenthe engine is hot. This can allow coolant to be blown out of the open- ing and cause serious burns.

You need a helper to check the brake
pedal clearance. With the engine run- ning, have your helper press down on the brake pedal several times and thenhold it down with a force of about 490N (50 kg, 110 lbs). The brake pedal clearance is the distance from the topsurface of the brake pedal to the as- phalt sheeting under the floor mat. If the brake pedal clearance is not withinthe limits specified in the illustration, have it inspected by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted or repaired if nec-essary.
With the engine off, press down on the
brake pedal several times to reduce the vacuum in the brake booster.
Then, using your hand, press down
slowly on the brake pedal until you feel a change in resistance. This isthe brake pedal free-play. The free- play should be within the limits speci- fied in the illustration. If it is not, haveit inspected by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted or repaired if necessary. G160A01TG
3~8 mm (0.12~0.31 in.)To check the steering wheel free-play, stop the car with the wheels pointed straight ahead and gently move the steering wheel back and forth. Usevery light finger pressure and be sen- sitive to changes in resistance that mark the limits of the free-play. If thefreeplay is greater than specified, have it inspected by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted or repaired if necessary. HTG5020
