D010A01P-GAT
1. Do not breathe exhaust fumes con- taining carbons monoxide when starting or driving. Carbon monox- ide is a colorless, odorless gas and can cause unconsciousness ordeath by asphyxiation.
2. Open all the windows fully and get
the back door closed if you smellexhaust fumes inside the vehicle. Have the cause immediately located and corrected.
3. Check the exhaust system, from time to time, for holes or loose con-nections if you hear a change in theexhaust sound, or if something has hit the exhaust system.
4. Do not race the engine in a garage
or enclosed area any longer than ittakes to start the engine and drive the vehicle in or out. The sealedexhaust fume may make a particu- larly dangerous situation.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
C020A01O-GAT Before you start the engine, you should always:
1. Look around the vehicle to be sure
there are no flat tires, puddles of oil, water or other indications of pos- sible trouble.
2. After entering the car, check to be sure the parking brake is engaged.
3. Check that all windows, and lights are clean.
4. Check that the interior and exterior
mirrors are clean and in position.
5. Check your seat, seatback and headrest to be sure they are in theirproper positions.
6. Lock all the doors.
7. Fasten your seat belt and be sure
that all other occupants have fas- tened theirs.
8. Turn off all lights and accessories
that are not needed. WARNING (DIESEL ENGINE):
To ensure that sufficient vacuum exists within the brake system dur- ing cold weather start-up condi-tions, it is necessary to run the engine at idle for several seconds after starting the engine.

28WINTER DRIVING
D180A01P-GAT Engine oil The engine oil can become very thick at low temperatures, thus making itdifficult to start the engine. Change to a thinner oil designed for winter use before the start of coldweather; for the appropriate oil viscos- ity, refer to the "Consumer Informa- tion" section. D180B01P-GAT Engine coolant If the temperature in your area drops below freezing, there is the danger thatthe coolant in the engine or radiator could freeze and cause severe dam- age to the engine and/or radiator.Be sure to add a sufficient amount of antifreeze to the coolant to prevent it from freezing.The engine coolant mixture used at the factory is intended to be left in the cooling system and provides protec-tion against freezing for temperature as low as approximately -30°C (-20°F). The concentration should be checkedbefore the start of cold weather and anti-freeze added to the system if nec- essary.SMOOTH CORNERING
C150A01A-AAT Avoid braking or gear changing in cor- ners, especially when roads are wet. Ideally, corners should always be taken under gentle acceleration. If you followthese suggestions, tire wear will be held to a minimum.

!WARNING:
o Improperly loading your car and trailer can serious affect its steer- ing and braking performance causing a crash in which youmay be seriously injured.
o For automatic transmission ve-
hicles, the trailer should be towedwith the towing vehicle unloaded, with the exception of the driver. Otherwise, the automatic trans-mission oil temperature may rise to a temperature that may result in serious damage of the auto- matic transmission. C190F02A-GAT Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check hitch and
safety chain connections as well as proper operation of the trailer run- ning lights, brake lights, and turn signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a mod- erate speed (Less than 100 km/h).
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 transmission) or overdrive (automatic transmission).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pres- sure of all tires on the trailer and your car. Low tire pressure can se- riously affect the handling. Alsocheck the spare tire.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is
more affected by crosswind andbuffeting. When being passed by a large vehicle, keep a constant speed and steer straight ahead. If there is too much wind buffeting,slow down to get out of the othervehicle’s air turbulence.
8. When parking your car and trailer,
especially on a hill, be sure to followall the normal precautions. Turn your front wheel into the curb, set the parking brake firmly, and put thetransmission in 1st or "R" (manual transmission) or "P" (automatic transmission). In addition, placewheel chocks at each of the trailer’s tires.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer mov-ing, and then apply the trailer brake controller by hand to be sure thebrakes are working. This lets you check your electrical connection at the same time.
10.During your trip, check occasion- ally to be sure that the load issecure, and that the lights and anytrailer brakes are still working.
11.Avoid jerky starts, sudden accel-
eration or sudden stops.
12.Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.

Tire replacement
Tires which do not meet the size specifications must not be used. Re- placement of the tires must be made as a set of the two front tires, the tworear tires, or all four tires.A mixture of bias-ply tires and radialtires must not be used. Consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer regarding tire replacement.
F010R01P-GAT
Tire care
For driving safely, and in order to
obtain the maximum useful life of thetires, the following points should be observed. For information concerning inspection, air pressure, and rotationof the tires, refer to the part which deals with wheels in the section of this manual entitled "Consumer Informa-tion". F010S01P-GAT
Tire air pressure
The air pressure of the tires mustalways be maintained in accordance with the specifications, and should be measured when the tires are cool.If any changes in driving conditions(speed and/or load weight) occur, theair pressure of the tires must meet the specifications which apply to the new driving conditions. If the vehicle isgoing to be driven under varying load weight, etc., the air pressure must be adjusted in order to meet the highestspecifications of the conditions under which the vehicle is driven (high speeds and maximum load weight). F010T01P-GAT Tire storage Storage of the tires should be in a dark, well-ventilated place.Tires not mounted on rims should bestored vertically. Be sure that the tires are not in contact with fuel, oil grease, etc.
6VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
12EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS
F060M01A-AAT
o Engine Oil and Filter The engine oil and filter should be changed at those intervals specified in the maintenance schedule. If the ve- hicle is being driven in severe condi-tions, more frequent oil and filter changes are required. G080B02P-GAT
o Valve Clearances (Diesel) An incorrect valve clearance will not only result in rough engine operation, but will also cause excessive noiseand reduced engine output.Inspect valve clearance and adjust asrequired while the engine is hot. G080C02P-GAT
o Fuel Lines and Connections
Check the fuel lines and connections
for leakage and damage. Replace any damaged or leaking parts immediately. G080D01P-GAT
o Fuel Filter
A clogged filter can limit the speed at
which the vehicle may be driven, dam-age the emission system and cause hard starting. If an excessive amountof foreign matter accumulates in the fuel tank, the filter may require re- placement more frequently. After installing a new filter, run the
engine for several minutes, and checkfor leaks at the connections.
!WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system with
engine running or within 30 sec- onds after shutting off engine. High pressure pump, rail, injectors and high pressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the engine stopped. The fuel jet produced byfuel leaks may cause serious injury, if it touch the body. People using pacemakers should not move than30cm closer to the ECU or wiring harness within the engine room while engine is running, since thehigh currents in the Common Rail system produce considerable mag- netic fields.

G080E01P-GAT
o Vacuum and Crankcase
Ventilation Hoses
Inspect the surface of hoses for evi- dence of heat and/or mechanical dam- age. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and excessiveswelling indicate deterioration. Particu- lar attention should be paid to examin- ing those hose surfaces nearest tohigh heat sources, such as the ex- haust manifold. Inspect the hose routing to assure that the hoses do not come in contact with any heat source, sharp edges or mov- ing component which might cause heatdamage or mechanical wear. Inspect all hose connections, such as clamps and couplings, to make sure they aresecure, and that no leaks are present. Hoses should be replaced immedi- ately if there is any evidence of dete-rioration or damage. G080F01P-GAT
o Fuel Hose, Vapor Hose and
Fuel Filler Cap
The fuel hose, vapor hose and fuelfiller cap should be inspected at those intervals specified in the maintenance schedule. Make sure that a new fuelhose, vapor hose or fuel filler cap is correctly replaced. Consult your Hyundai dealer if you have any ques-tions. G080G01P-GAT
