o Be sure that the cassette label is not
loose or peeling off or tape ejection may be difficult.
o Never touch or soil the actual audio
tape surfaces.
o Keep all magnetized objects, such as electric motors, speakers or trans-formers away from your cassettetapes and tape player unit.
o Store cassettes in a cool, dry place
with the open side facing down toprevent dust from setting in the cas- sette body.
o We strongly recommend against the
use of tapes longer than C-60 (60 minutes total). Tapes such as C-120 or C-180 are very thin and do not perform as well in the automo- tive environment. o Avoid repeated fast reverse usage
to replay one given tune or tapesection. This can cause poor tapewinding to occur, and eventually cause excessive internal drag and poor audio quality in the cassette. Ifthis occurs, it can sometimes be corrected by fast winding the tape from end to end several times. If thisdoes not correct the problem, do not continue to use the tape in your vehicle.
B860A01A-AAT CARE OF CASSETTE TAPES Proper care of your cassette tapes will extend the tape life and increase your listening enjoyment. Always protectyour tapes and cassette cases from direct sunlight, severely cold and dusty conditions. When not in use, cassettesshould always be stored in the original protective cassette case. When the vehicle is very hot or cold, allow theinterior temperature to become more comfortable before listening to your cassettes.
o Never leave a cassette inserted in
the player when not being played. This could damage the tape player unit and the cassette tape. B860A01L

B870D01FC-GAT ANTENNA Roof Antenna Your car uses a roof antenna to re- ceive both AM and FM broadcast sig- nals.This antenna is a removable type. To remove the antenna, turn the antenna counterclockwise. To install the an-tenna, turn the antenna clockwise.
o The playback head, capstan and
pinch rollers will develop a coating of tape residue that can result indeterioration of sound quality, such as a wavering sound. They should be cleaned monthly using a com-mercially available head cleaning tape or special solution available from audio specialty shops. Followthe supplier's directions carefully and never oil any part of the tape player unit.
o Always be sure that the tape is tightly wound on its reel before in-serting in the player. Rotate a pencilin the drive sprockets to wind up any slack. B860A03L
NOTE: Look at a tape before you insert it. If the tape is loose, tighten it byturning one of the hubs with a pen- cil or your finger. If the label is peeling off, do not putit in the drive mechanism. Do not leave tapes sitting where they are exposed to hot, warm, orhigh humidity, such as on top of the dashboard or in the player. If a tape is exposed to extreme heator cold, let it reach a moderate tem- perature before putting it in the player.

CAUTION:
If the engine refuses to start, no attempt should be made to push or tow start the vehicle. Vehicles withautomatic transaxle or fuel injec- tion will not be able to be started in this manner since no drive is trans-mitted through the automatic transaxle whilst the engine is not running, and in the case of fuelinjected derivatives, the fuel pump will not operate under tow start conditions. In addition, if the ve-hicle is equipped with an exhaust catalyst, damage to the catalyst may result if the vehicle is tow started. 4. Do not attempt to push or tow start
the vehicle, refer to "Jump Starting"for information regarding enginestarting when the battery is dis- charged.
1. Check fuel Level
2. Check all connectors at ignition coil and spark plugs. Replace any that may be discon- nected or loose.
3. Check fuel line in the engine com- partment.
4. If engine still refuses to start, call a
Hyundai authorised repairer or seek other qualified assistance.

CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE 4- 3
SE040A1-E VALETING Regular cleaning of the exterior paintwork serves two important func-tions. Firstly, the removal of abrasive dirt and contaminants will maintain the lustre of the paintwork and will preventdiscolouration and dulling due to pro- longed contact. Secondly, the presence of damagethrough impact or abrasion will be ap- parent allowing early rectification to be made thus preventing corrosion frombecoming established and spreading beneath the paint film. To avoid "water spotting" the vehicle should not bewashed in direct sunlight particularly in the case of vehicles having dark body colours. The heat from the sun rays isabsorbed by the paint film increasing the surface temperature. This action causes water used for washing toevaporate quickly leaving behind the deposits from the water and the sham- poo used.Use only a shampoo intended for the purpose and ensure that the body work is thoroughly wetted to soften the dirtfilm prior to attempting to remove this. After removing the dirt film with a soft sponge, the body work should be thor- oughly rinsed and then dried with agood quality chamois leather to pre- vent streaking or spotting of the paint work.Household detergents, solvents and abrasive cleaning materials should not be used in order to avoid damaging thepaint film. Plastic wheel covers should be cleaned using a sponge and water. Cast alloywheels should be cleaned using a mild soap or neutral detergent. Abrasive compounds must not be used since inthe event of these damaging the lac- quer coating, oxidization of the alu- minium wheel will occur, spoiling theappearance. The use of an a toothbrush will facili- tate cleaning between the wheel"spokes".
SE040B1-E STAIN/SPOT REMOVAL Should tree sap, dead insects or tar prove to be difficult to remove from thepaint film, turpentine or a proprietary paint cutting compound may be used. Ensure that the area to be cleaned isnot rubbed intensively to prevent break- ing through the colour coat and expos- ing the under coat. SE040C1-E POLISHING The exterior paint work should be pol- ished with a proprietary wax polish when water no longer collects in bead form on the paint work. The instruc-tions of the product manufacturer should be adhered to.
