HTB206 CAUTION:
o Do not attempt to engage reverse gear when the car is in motion.
o To avoid damaging the selector mechanism, do not use the gear shift lever as a hand rest. Releasethe lever immediately the shift iscompleted.
o To avoid premature clutch wear,
do not use the clutch pedal as afoot rest, and do not hold thevehicle on a gradient using theclutch.
o Ensure that the engine is not over-revved by upshifting beforethe tachometer needle enters thered zone.
o Do not coast with the shift lever at the neutral position.
o When descending long gradi- ents, make use of the engine brak-ing to assist the footbrake toavoid brake fade or over-heating.
o When slippery conditions are en- countered, increased cautionshould be exercised when gear changing, braking or accelerat-
SC090A03-EMANUAL TRANSAXLE The five speed fully synchronized transaxle is controlled by a floor mounted shift lever upon which theshift pattern is indicated. It is importantthat when changing gear, the clutchpedal is fully depressed to avoidtransaxle damage. ing. Abrupt changes in speedmay cause a loss of traction orcontrol of the vehicle.
o During cold weather, shifting may be difficult until the transaxle lu-bricant has warmed up. This isnormal and not harmful to thetransaxle.
o If you 've come to a complete
stop and it's hard to shift into 1st or R(Reverse), put the shift lever in N(Neutral) position and releasethe clutch. Press the clutch pedalback down, and then shift into1st or R(Reverse) gear position.
o Do not use the shift lever as a handrest during driving, as thiscan result in premature wear ofthe transaxle shift forks.
o Always ensure that the periodic
maintenance services are performedby a Hyundai authorised repairer atthe time and/or mileage intervalsspecified.
o Use the air conditioning only when

3- 2 WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
HTB165
SD020B1-E IF THE ENGINE CANNOT BE CRANKED
1. If the vehicle is fitted with manual
transaxle, ensure that the clutch pedal is depressed whilst cranking the engine. If the vehicle is fitted with automatic transaxle, ensurethat the transaxle selector is at the "P" or"N" position.
2. Check the battery terminals and
connections to ensure that theseare clean and also tight.
3. If the ignition warning lights dim
when the engine is cranked and thebattery terminals have been checked, a discharged battery isindicated. SD020C1-F If Engine Turns Over Normally but Does Not Start
SD020A1-E IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START Seek assistance from the nearest Hyundai authorised repairer with re- gard to the method of ignition and fuelsystem diagnosis.

HTB221
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.

G180A01A-GAT CHECKING BRAKE PEDAL CLEARANCE
G180A01L
1.78 in. (45.1 mm)
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 490 N (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 notwithin the limits specified in the illustra- tion, have it inspected by your Hyundai authorised repairer and adjusted orrepairered if necessary.SG170A1-E BRAKE PEDAL FREEPLAY
HXGS508
0.12 ~ 0.31 in. (3 ~ 8 mm)
The brake pedal freeplay should be checked with the engine turned off. Thepedal to floor clearance should be checked with the engine running and a load of 490 N applied to the pedal. Ifeither value is incorrect, the necessary adjustment should be performed by a Hyundai authorised repairer. Pedal tofloor clearance: 1.97 in. (50 mm)SG160A1-E CLUTCH PEDAL FREEPLAY
G160A01E
0.24 ~ 0.51 in. (6 ~ 13 mm)
The clutch pedal freeplay should be checked against the specified value. If the freeplay is not correct, the clutch should be adjusted by a Hyundaiauthorised repairer.

G150A01A-GAT CHECKING STEERING WHEEL FREEPLAY To check the steering wheel freeplay, stop the car with the wheels pointed straight ahead and gently move thesteering wheel back and forth. Use very light finger pressure and be sen- sitive to changes in resistance thatmark the limits of the freeplay. If the freeplay is greater than specified, have it inspected by your Hyundai dealerand adjusted or repaired if necessary.
