CHARGING SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT
The charging system warning light should illuminate when the ignitionswitch is turned to the "ON" position and should be extinguished when the engine is started. If the light fails toilluminate when the ignition is turned "ON" or fails to extinguish after starting the engine, the nearest Hyundaiauthorised repairer should be contacted. If the light illuminates whilst the vehicle is being driven, stop the vehicle assoon as it is safe to do so and check the condition of the generator drive belt. If SB2100I-E
DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT
The door ajar warning light indicates that a door is not correctly closed. Ensure that the light is extinguishedprior to driving the vehicle.

TAIL GATE OPEN WARNING LIGHT
The tail gate warning light indicates when the tail gate is open or is not fullyclosed. Ensure that the light has extin- guished prior to driving the vehicle. SB210P1-E
LOW FUEL LEVEL WARNING LIGHT
The low fuel warning light serves to warn the driver that the remaining fuel quantity is approximately 9 litres and that the vehicle should be refuelled. Ifthe vehicle is driven for an extended period with the low fuel warning light illuminated there exists a possibilitythat misfiring due to fuel shortage may occur. This situation must be avoided to prevent damage to the catalyst oc-curring.
recommended to assist in bringing the vehicle to rest. The vehicle must not be driven once brake failure has occurreduntil the system has been repairered and is functioning normally. The braking system employs a vacuumservo in order that the pedal efforts are reduced. Power for the servo is derived from the engine and therefore, in theevent of the engine stopping or the vehicle being towed, pedal efforts will be substantially increased.
the belt is in place and the tension is satisfactory, the advice of a Hyundai authorised repairer should be sought.
CAUTION:
If the drive belt (generator belt) is loose, broken, or missing while the vehicle is driving, there may be aserious malfunction, engine could overheat because this belt also drives the water pump.

SB210S1-E BRAKE PAD WEAR INDICATOR The front brake disc pads are fitted with an audible wear indicator which willcause a high pitched noise to be emit- ted when the remaining amount of fric- tion lining is below the specified value.When the wear indicator is heard, the brake pads should be replaced without delay to avoid damage occurring to thebrake discs and a severe reduction in braking efficiency.
B900A01A-EAT ACOUSTIC WARNING SOUND (Not all models) The acoustic warning chime sounds when the tail lights are on and the door in driver side is open. This prevents thebattery from discharging when the car is left with the tail lights on. The chime sounds until the tail lights are turned off. HTB006A
The fuel gauge indicates the quantity of fuel remaining in the fuel tank. NOTE: The fuel gauge is not intended to give other than an approximate indi- cation of the fuel level and is unsuit- able for the purposes of calculatingfuel consumption figures.

FUEL FILTER WARNING LIGHT-RED(Diesel Engine)
This light illuminates when the engine has started and go off after a few seconds. If it lights up while the engineis running, it indicates that water has accumulated inside the fuel filter. If this happens, remove the water from thefuel filter. (Refer to "6-26 page")
DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 15
o Keep your car in good condition. For
better fuel economy and reduced maintenance costs, maintain yourcar in accordance with the mainte-nance schedule in Section 5. If you drive your car in severe conditions, more frequent maintenance is re-quired (see Section 5 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum service, your car should be keptclean and free of corrosive materi- als. It is especially important that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed toaccumulate on the underside of thecar. This extra weight can result inincreased fuel consumption and alsocontribute to corrosion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unneces-
sary weight in your car. Weight is anenemy of good fuel economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than necessary. If you are waiting (andnot in traffic), turn off your engine and restart only when you're ready to go.
o Remember, your car does not re-
quire extended warm-up. As soonas the engine is running smoothly,you can drive away. In very cold weather, however, give your engine a slightly longer warm-up period. o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine.
Lugging is driving too slowly in toohigh a gear resulting in the enginebucking. If this happens to you, shiftto a lower gear. Over-revving is racing the engine beyond its safe limit. This can beavoided by shifting at the recom-mended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly.
The air conditioning system is oper- ated by the engine power so your fuel economy is reduced when youuse it.
SC160A1-F SMOOTH CORNERING Avoid braking or gear changing in cor- ners, especially when roads are wet.Ideally, corners should always be takenunder gentle acceleration. If you followthese suggestions, tyre wear will beheld to a minimum. SC170A1-E WINTER MOTORING The onset of winter conditions subject motor vehicles to greater operatingdemands. Therefore, the followingsuggestions will assist in maintainingpeak performance and reliability dur- ing these periods: ZC170B1-E Electrical System Winter conditions impose severe de- mands upon vehicle electrical systems, particularly the charging circuit. The battery condition and performancealong with the alternator performanceand drive belt condition should bechecked prior to the onset of winter.

NOTE:
o The total gross vehicle weight with trailer must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating(GVWR) shown on the vehicleidentification plate (see page 8- 2). The total gross vehicle weight is the combined weight of thevehicle, driver, all passengersand their luggage, cargo, towbarhitch, trailer nose weight andother optional equipment. o The front or rear axle weight must
not exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) shown on the ve- hicle identification plate (seepage 8-2). it is possible that yourtowing package does not exceedthe GVWR but exceeds theGAWR. Improper trailer loading and/or too much luggage in the trunk can overload the rear axle.Redistribute the load and checkthe axle weight again.
o The maximum permissible static vertical load on the coupling de- vice : 44kg
o The maximum permissible over-
hang of the coupling point : 690 mm. YC200E3-E Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check towbar hitch
and safety cable connections as well as proper operation of the trailerrunning lights, brake lights, and turnsignals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a mod-
erate speed (Less than 60 mph(max.))
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than normal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking effi- ciency and electrical charging per-formance, do not use fifth gear(manual transaxle) or overdrive (au-tomatic transaxle).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to
prevent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pres-
sure of all tyres on the trailer andyour car. Low tyre pressure canseriously affect the handling. Alsocheck the spare tyre.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more affected by crosswind andbuffeting.

CATALYTIC CONVERTOR OP- ERATION PRECAUTIONS ; For a Petrol engine
Hyundai Getz models are fitted with
catalytic convertors which require special operating considerations. Thecatalytic convertor serves to oxidize certain noxious elements of the ex- haust gases leaving the engine toreduce the level of pollutants emitted from the vehicle and, provided that care is exercised to prevent damage,the catalyst will operate efficiently for the life of the vehicle.
It is of the utmost importance that the
following information is read and un-derstood by the vehicle operator in
HTB178Catalytic Converter order to prevent operational problems arising from damage to the catalyst.
Damage to the catalyst will result if
contamination occurs through the use of leaded fuel. Whilst the vehicle isfitted with a reduced diameter filler neck to prevent charging of the fuel tank with a leaded fuel pump nozzle,it is possible that the use of funnels or jerry cans will permit leaded fuel to be introduced into the fuel tank.
The catalyst is intolerant of unburnt
fuel and therefore if an engine misfirecondition exists, damage to the cata-lyst will occur. It is imperative that if a misfire condition develops, the ve- hicle is immediately presented to aHyundai dealer for rectification. Simi- larly, the practice of certain ignition system diagnosis procedures whichinvolve inducing a misfire (cylinder power balance tests for example) may result in catalyst damage.
For these reasons, it is advisable that
the exhaust gas emission be testedat each routine service with a gas analyzer having a Hydrocarbon mea- suring facility to ensure continuedreliability of the catalyst. Push or tow starting of the vehicle is to be avoided since unburnt fuel may be enter the catalyst and result indamage. (Note, it is impossible to push or tow start a Hyundai model equipped with fuel injection since thefuel pump safety interlock will prevent the pump from operating under these conditions).Operation of the catalyst involvesextremely high temperatures beingattained within the catalytic conver- tor, and although the convertor is fitted with heat shields, it is importantthat the vehicle is not parked over combustible or volatile material which may result in fire. If the above precautions are not ad- hered to and the catalyst becomes inoperative, the resultant increase incore temperature will result in a "melt down" where the catalyst core will melt and subsequently may block theexhaust system.Due to the fragile nature of the cata-lyst element, it is important that dam- age does not occur when the vehicle is raised by means of a garage jack.Care must also be exercised to avoid driving over road hazards or debris which may cause damage to the cata-lyst element.
