3RUNNING IN YOUR NEW HYUNDAI
B020A01S-EAT The longevity and performance of the vehicle are greatly affected by the care exercised during the first 1,000 miles of motoring. Because of modern manu-facturing techniques, rigid guidelines regarding maximum road speeds have become unnecessary. However, cer-tain precautions should be observed in order to obtain the best possible per- formance and useful life from the ve-hicle.
1) Do not race the engine without a
load (i.e revving the engine in neu- tral).
2) During the first 500 miles the maxi- mum engine speed should be re-stricted to 3,000 rpm and gradually increased thereafter.
3) Avoid prolonged constant speed operation. The internal componentsof the engine will become morequickly run in if the operation speed is varied during the running in pe- riod.
4) Never allow the engine to labour. Use the gearbox freely and avoidlarge throttle openings when theengine speed is below 1,500 rpm.BEFORE ENTERING THE VEHICLEAFTER ENTERING THE VEHICLE
YB020A1-E
o Ensure that all windows, mirrors
and lamps are clean.
o Check condition of all tyres.
o Ensure that no fluid leaks are evi-
dent.
o Ensure that the area around the vehicle is clear before driving off. YB020B1-E
o Ensure that all occupants fasten
and correctly adjust seat belts.
o Ensure that seat and head restraint positions are adjusted for optimum safety, control and comfort.
o Adjust interior and exterior rear view mirrors.
o Verify correct operation of lamps, horn and other electrical equipment.
o Ensure that warning lamps illumi-
nate when ignition is turned on.
NOTE: Fluid levels such as engine oil, en- gine coolant, brake and windscreenwasher fluid should be checked daily or at each refuelling, which- ever occurs sooner.

WARNING AND INDICATOR LIGHTS
SB210K1-ELOW OIL PRESSURE WARN ING LAMP
260P02Y-EAT
ABS Service ReminderIndicator (Not all models)
When the key is turned to the "ON" position, the Anti-Lock Brake SystemSRI will come on and then go off in a approximately seconds. If the ABS SRI remains on, comes on while driving, ordoes not come on when the key is turned to the "ON" position, this indi- cates that there may be a problem withthe ABS. If this occurs, have your vehicle checked by your Hyundai authorisedrepairer as soon as possible. The nor- mal braking system will still be opera- tional, but without the assistance of theanti-lock brake system. WARNING:
If the both ABS SRI and Parking Brake/Brake fluid level warning lights remain "ON" or come on whiledriving, there may be a problem with E.B.D (Electronic brake force distribution).If this occurs, avoid sudden stops and have your vehicle checked by your Hyundai authorised repairer assoon as possible.
SB210J1-E HIGH BEAM INDICATOR LAMP
The high beam indicator lamp will illu- minate whenever the headlamps areswitched to high beam of flash posi- tion.
CAUTION:
If the oil pressure warning light illuminates when the engine is run- ning, an insufficient oil pressure level for continued safe operationof the engine exists. Continued operation of the engine in this con- dition may result in serious enginedamage. Under normal circumstances, the light will illuminate when the igni- tion is turned "on" and will be extin- guished when the engine is started.
B260D01A-EAT
Turn Signal Indicator Lights
The blinking green arrows on the instru- ment panel show the direction indicatedby the turn signals. If the arrow comes on but does not blink, blinks more rapidly than normal, or does not illumi-nate at all, a malfunction in the turn signal system is indicated. Your Hyundai authorised repairer should beconsulted for repairs.

If the oil pressure warning light illuminates whilst the engine is run- ning, stop the engine immediately and check the engine oil level. If thelevel is insufficient, add the required amount of oil as indicated by the engine oil dipstick. If the light failsto extinguish when the engine is restarted, do not continue to oper- ate the vehicle.If the oil pressure light illuminates during normal operation and the cause is not an insufficient oil level,or the light fails to illuminate when the ignition is turned "on", contact the nearest Hyundai authorised re-pairer before further operating the vehicle.

PARKING BRAKE/ BRAKE FLUID LEVELWARNING LAMP
WARNING:
In the event of problems being sus- pected with the braking system, the advice of the nearest Hyundai authorised repairer must be soughtbefore the vehicle is driven. Driving the vehicle with either an electrical or hydraulic braking system defectmay be dangerous, resulting in acci- dent or personal injury. Warning lamp operation The parking brake/brake fluid level warning lamp will be illuminated when- ever the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" or "START" position when theparking brake is applied and must be extinguished in a three seconds after the engine starts.If the warning lamp fails to extinguish or illuminates at any other time, the vehicle must be brought to rest in asafe location and the level of brake fluid in the reservoir checked. If the fluid level is incorrect, fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications shouldbe added. If, after correcting the brake fluid level, the warning lamp continues to be illuminated, the advice of the
nearest Hyundai auth
orised repairer
must be sought b efore the vehicle is
driven again.The Hyundai Coupe is equipped with a diagonally split dual braking system which will ensure that in the event ofone of the brake circuits becoming defective, approximately fifty per cent of the normal braking performance willbe available. If failure of one of the circuits occurs, the required amount of pedal effort,pedal travel and stopping distance will be increased. Use of the gearbox is recommended to assist in bringing thevehicle to rest. The vehicle must not be driven once brake failure has occurred until the system has been repaired andis functioning normally. The braking system employs a vacuum servo in order that the pedal efforts arereduced. Power for the servo is de- rived from the engine and therefore, in the event of the engine stopping or thevehicle being towed, pedal efforts will be substantially increased.

2DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
12EFFECTIVE BRAKING
SC140A2-E Braking system performance and fric- tion material life are greatly affected by the driving style adopted. The follow- ing suggestions are made to assist inachieving the best results from the braking system.
o Anticipate the road and conditions ahead in order that heavy braking may be avoided.
o When descending long gradients, use the engine to assist in retardingthe vehicle to minimise the possibil-ity of brake fade occurring.
o When trailer towing, ensure that the
trailer brakes function correctly anduse engine braking to assist the vehicle braking system.
o Use only genuine Hyundai replace- ment brake pads and shoes to en-sure consistent friction characteris- tics and wear rates.
o After driving through deep water (e.g. fording), the brakes may be-come wet and performance reduced.Always check brake efficiency after emerging from the water and dry the brakes by lightly depressing the brakepedal several times whilst driving slowly. o Apply the parking brake only when
the vehicle is at rest.
o Since the power assistance pro- vided by the brake servo is derived from the engine, coasting with theengine turned off or towing of the vehicle with the engine turned off will result in greatly increased pedalpressures being required to stop the vehicle.
o Do not hold the vehicle on an incline with the accelerator pedal. This cancause the transaxle to overheat. Al- ways use the brake pedal or parkingbrake.
o Use caution when parking on a hill.
Engage the parking brake and placethe gear selector lever in "P" (auto- matic transaxle) or in first or reverse gear (manual transaxle). If your caris facing downhill, turn the front wheels into the curb to help keep the car from rolling. If your car is facinguphill, turn the front wheels away from the curb to help keep the car from rolling.If there is no curb or if it is required by other conditions to keep the car from rolling, block the wheels.
o Check the automatic transaxle fluid
level regularly, and add fluid asnecessary. See the maintenance schedule for the proper fluid recommendation.
