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.

SC140B1-E ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (Not all models) The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed to prevent wheel lock-upduring sudden braking or on hazard-ous road surfaces. The ABS controlmodule monitors the wheel speed and controls the pressure applied to each brake. Thus, in emergency situationsor on slick roads, ABS will increasevehicle control during braking. NOTE: During ABS operation, a slight pul- sation may be felt in the brake pedal when the brakes are applied. Also, a noise may be heard in the enginecompartment whilst braking. Theseconditions are normal and indicatethat the anti-lock brake system isfunctioning properly.
located in the instrument cluster will beilluminated. When the overdrive switchis turned "ON", the transaxle functionsas a fully automatic four speed unitwith the maximum fuel economy po- tential of the vehicle being realized. SC140A1-E EFFECTIVE BRAKING 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 thebraking 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 minimize the possibil- ity of brake fade occurring.
o When trailer towing, ensure that the
trailer brakes function correctly and use engine braking to assist thevehicle 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 afteremerging from the water and dry thebrakes by lightly depressing thebrake pedal 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 the engine turned off or towing of the vehicle with the engine turned offwill result in greatly increased pedalpressures being required to stop thevehicle.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the up- grade with the accelerator pedal.This can cause the transmission tooverheat. Always use the brakepedal or parking brake.
