CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENTHowever, care must be exercised when re- fuelling the vehicle tank from jerry cans or bymeans of a funnel that the fuel being used isunleaded. The use of leaded fuel in this vehicle will result in irreversible pollution of the catalyst ele-ment. Such pollution will prevent correct op-eration of the catalyst and give rise to in-creased operating temperatures leading tothe catalyst element melting and restrictingthe exhaust flow along with an increase inexhaust emission levels. CAUTION: The vehicle warranty will not extend to damage arising from the use of incorrectfuels. DIESEL ENGINES Diesel fuel of 52 to 54 cetane is used in diesel engined Hyundai vehicle. If two types of dieselfuel are available, use summer or winter fuelproperly according to the following tempera-ture conditions.
o Above 23°F (-5°C) ... Summer type diesel fuel.
o Below 23°F (-5°C) ... Winter type diesel fuel. Watch the fuel level in the tank very carefully: If the engine stops through fuel failure, the circuits must be completely purged to permitrestarting.

ABS SERVICE REMINDER INDICATOR (SRI)(Not all models)
When the key is turned to the "ON" position,
the Anti-Lock Brake System SRI will come on and then go off in a few seconds. If the ABSSRI remains on, comes on whilst driving, ordoes not come on when the key is turned tothe "ON" position, this indicates that theremay be a problem with the ABS.
If this occurs, have your vehicle checked by
your Hyundai authorised repairer as soon aspossible. The normal braking system will stillbe operational, but without the assistance ofthe anti-lock brake system.
CAUTION: If the both ABS SRI and Parking Brake/
Brake fluid level warning lights remain "ON" or come on whilst driving, there may be aproblem with E.B.D. (Electronic Brake
Force Distribution).
If this occurs, avoid sudden stops and
have your vehicle checked by your Hyundaiauthorised repairer as soon as possible. SB210K1-E
OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT
CAUTION: If the oil pressure light illuminates when
the engine is running, an insufficient oil pressure level for continued safe opera-tion of the engine exists. Continued opera-tion of the engine in this condition mayresult in serious engine damage.
Under normal circumstances, the light will
illuminate when the ignition is turned "on" andwill be extinguished when the engine is started.
If the oil pressure warning light illuminates
whilst the engine is running, stop the engineimmediately and check the engine oil level. Ifthe level is insufficient, add the required amountof oil as indicated by the engine oil dipstick. Ifthe light fails to extinguish when the engine isrestarted, do not continue to operate the ve-hicle.
If the oil pressure light illuminates during nor-
mal operation and the cause is not an insuffi-cient oil level, or the light fails to illuminatewhen the ignition is turned "on", contact thenearest Hyundai authorised repairer beforefurther operating the vehicle.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENTcircuits becoming defective, approximately fifty per cent of the normal braking perfor-mance will be available. If failure of one of the circuits occurs, the required amount of pedal effort, pedal traveland stopping distance will be increased. Useof the gearbox is recommended to assist inbringing the vehicle to rest. The vehicle mustnot be driven once brake failure has occurreduntil the system has been repaired and isfunctioning normally. The braking system employs a vacuum servo in order that the pedal efforts are reduced.Power for the servo is derived from the engineand therefore, in the event of the enginestopping or the vehicle being towed, pedalefforts will be substantially increased.

PARKING BRAKE/BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING LIGHT
WARNING: In the event of problems being suspected with the braking system, the advice of thenearest Hyundai authorised repairer mustbe sought before the vehicle is driven.Driving the vehicle with either an electri-cal or hydraulic braking system defectmay be dangerous, resulting in accidentor personal injury. Warning light operation The parking brake/brake fluid level warning light will be illuminated whenever the ignitionswitch is turned to the "ON" position irrespec-tive of whether or not the parking brake isapplied and must be extinguished when theengine starts and the parking brake released. If the warning light fails to extinguish or illumi- nates at any other time, the vehicle must bebrought to rest in a safe location and the levelof brake fluid in the reservoir checked. If thefluid level is incorrect, fluid conforming to DOT3 or DOT 4 specifications should be added. If,after correcting the brake fluid level, the warn-ing light continues to be illuminated, the ad-vice of the nearest Hyundai authorised re-pairer must be sought before the vehicle isdriven again.The Hyundai Matrix is equipped with a diag-onally split dual braking system which willensure that in the event of one of the brake

NORMAL CONDITIONS The Starting Procedure:
1. Insert key, and fasten the seat belt.
2. Depress the clutch pedal fully and place the gearshift lever (manual transaxle) inneutral or the selector lever (automatic transaxle) in "P" (park) position.
3. After turning the ignition key to the "ON" position, make certain all warning lightsand gauges are functioning properly be- fore starting the engine.
4. On vehicles equipped with the diesel pre- heat indicator light, turn the ignition key tothe "ON" position. The diesel pre-heat indi- cator light will first illuminate in amber, and then after a short time, the amber illumina- tion will goes off, indicating that preheating is completed. SC060B1-E FUEL ECONOMY
The following suggestions are made to assist
in achieving the greatest degree of fuel economy.
o Maintaining a constant check on fuel con- sumption will enable the most economical use pattern and driving style to be adopt- ed.
o Avoid using the vehicle for very short jour- neys if possible, particularly when a coldstart is involved.
o Ensure that tyre pressures are maintained
at the correct level.
o Use only the recommended grade of fuel.
o Avoid carrying unnecessary weight, and if a roof rack is in use, remove it as soon aspossible after use.
NOTE: If the engine does not start 10 secondsafter the preheating is completed, turn the ignition key once more to the "LOCK" position, and then to the "ON" position, in order to preheat again. WARNING: Be sure that the clutch is fully depressed when starting a manual transaxle vehicle. This will prevent sudden movement should the vehicle be started in gear without the clutch depressed. Otherwise there is the potential to cause damage to the vehicle or injury to a person inside or outside of the vehicle as a result of this sudden vehicle movement.
5. Turn the ignition key to the "Start" position and release it when the engine starts.
C055B01B-GAT STARTING AND STOPPING THE EN- GINE FOR TURBO CHARGER INTER-COOLER (DIESEL ENGINE)
(1) Do not race the engine or suddenly accel- erate the engine immediately after starting it. If the engine is cold, allow the engine to idle for several seconds before it is driven to ensure sufficient lubrication of the turbo charger unit. (2) After high speed or extended driving, re-
quiring a heavy engine load, the engineshould be allowed to idle about 1 minute before turning it off.This idle time will allow the turbo charger to cool prior to shutting the engine off.
WARNING: Do not turn the engine off immediately after it has been subjected to a heavy load. Doing so may cause severe damage to the engine or turbo charger unit.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 8 o Always engage the parking brake when
the vehicle is unattended, never use the "P" position in place of the parking brake.
o Under normal circumstances, the selector
should be placed in the "D" position andthe transaxle allowed to select the most ideal ratio for the circumstances. In this position maximum fuel economy will be achieved.
o When descending steep gradients where
engine braking is required, the selector should be placed at the "2" or "L" position depending upon the vehicle speed.
o When ascending steep gradients using large throttle openings, the transaxle mayre-peatedly change between two adjacent ratios. This is a normal characteristic and may be prevented by cancelling the over- drive facility if the shifting occurs between third and fourth ratios, selecting position "2" if the shifting occurs between third and second ratios or selecting position "1" if the shifting occurs between first and second ratios.
o Never move the selector to or from the "P" or "N" position with the accelerator de-pressed.
o Ensure that the overdrive switch is at the "ON" position for maximum economy. o If rapid acceleration is required, fully de-
press the accelerator pedal. In this condi- tion, the kickdown mechanism will be oper- ated and the transaxle will automatically downshift according to the vehicle speed.
o The automatic transaxle may be used to
great effect if the vehicle becomes stuck insnow or mud by allowing the vehicle to be rocked to and fro. The engine speed should be held at approximately 1,000rpm by means of the accelerator pedal and the selector lever moved between the "D" and "R" positions to induce a rocking motion.
o Do not depress the accelerator pedal with
the brakes applied and the selector at the "R", "D", "2" or "L" position.
o Turn the overdrive switch on for good fuel economy and smooth driving. But if enginebraking is needed in the "D" range or if repeated upshifting and downshifting be- tween the 3rd and 4th gear is needed when climbing a gentle slope, it is recom- mended that the overdrive switch be turned off. Turn the overdrive switch back on immediately afterward.
C090I02A-EAT CAUTION:
o Shift into "R" and "P" only when the
vehicle has completely stopped.
o Do not accelerate the engine in reverse or any of the forward positions with the brakes applied.
o Always apply the footbrake when shift- ing from "P" or "N", to "R", "D", "2" or"L" position.
o Do not use the "P" (Park) position in place of the parking brake. Always setthe parking brake, shift the transaxle into "P" (Park) and turn off the ignition when you leave the vehicle, even mo- mentarily. Never leave the vehicle unat- tended whilst the engine is running.
o Check the automatic transaxle fluid level regularly, and add fluid as necessary.See the maintenance schedule for theproper fluid recommendation.
FC120D2-E
General Operating Instructions
o The button in the selector handle must be depressed before the selector can be moved.
o The engine may only be started when the selector is at position "P" or "N".
o Ensure that the footbrake is firmly applied when shifting from "P" or "N" to "D", "2", "L" or "R" and vice versa.

SC130A1-E OVERDRIVE SWITCH
The overdrive switch prevents the transaxle upshifting higher than third gear when the switch is turned "OFF". The transaxle will start from rest in first gear and upshift to second and third gear depending upon the roadspeed and throttle opening but will not upshift to fourth gear. When the overdrive switch is turned "ON", the transaxle will start from rest in first gear and will upshift, depending upon roadspeed and throttle opening to second, third and fourth gear. Therefore, when the overdrive switch is turned "OFF", the transaxle performs as a three speed unit and the over- drive warning light located in the instrument cluster will be illuminated. When the overdrive switch is turned "ON", the transaxle functions as a fully automatic four speed unit with the maximum fuel economy potential of the ve- hicle being realized.
SC140A1-E EFFECTIVE BRAKINGBraking system performance and friction ma- terial life are greatly affected by the driving style adopted. The following suggestions are made to assist in achieving the best results from the braking 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 retarding the vehicle to minimize the possibility of brake fade oc- curring.
o When trailer towing, ensure that the trailer brakes function correctly and use enginebraking to assist the vehicle braking system.
o Use only genuine Hyundai replacement brake pads and shoes to ensure consis-tent friction characteristics and wear rates.
o After driving through deep water (e.g. fording), the brakes may become wet and perfor-mance reduced. Always check brake effi- ciency after emerging from the water and dry the brakes by lightly depressing the brake pedal several times whilst driving slowly.
o Apply the parking brake only when the
vehicle is at rest.
o Since the power assistance provided by
the brake servo is derived from the engine,coasting with the engine turned off or tow- ing of the vehicle with the engine turned off will result in greatly increased pedal pres- sures being required to stop the vehicle.
HFC3023-D
WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel move-ments, such as sharp lane changes orfast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts. In a collision crash, an unbelted per- son is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seatbelt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly increased if you lose control of your vehicle athighway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the roadway andthe driver oversteers to reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the roadway, do not steer sharply. Instead,slow down before pulling back into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed limits.
o Excessive depressing of the accelerater
pedal under the tyres slip condition such as moving out of the mud or fresh snow etc, may cause severe dam- age to the transmission. If this condi- tion exists, it may be adviseable to have the vehicle towed.

SC150A1-F
DRIVING FOR ECONOMY You can save fuel and get more miles from
your car if you follow these suggestions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate
rate. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts or full- throttle shifts and maintain a steady cruis- ing speed. Don't race between stoplights. Try to adjust your speed to that of the other traffic so you don't have to change speeds unnecessarily.Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible. Al- ways maintain a safe distance from other vehicles so you can avoid unnecessary braking. This also reduces brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your car uses. Drivingat a moderate speed, especially on the highway, is one of the most effective ways to reduce fuel consumption.
o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. This can increase fuel consumption and alsoincrease wear on these components. In addition, driving with your foot resting on the brake pedal may cause the brakes to overheat, which reduces their effective- ness and may lead to more serious con-
sequences.
o Take care of your tyres. Keep them inflated to the recommended pressure. Incorrectinfla-tion, either too much or too little, re- sults in unnecessary tyre wear. Check the tyre pres-sures at least once a month.
C300D02O-GAT Indicator and WarningThe indicator should illuminate when the igni-
tion key is turned to "ON" or "START", but should go out after three seconds.If the indicator does not illuminate, have it checked by an Hyundai authorised repairer. Should there be any unusual conditions in the device, TCS illuminates as a warning.If TCS illuminates, pull your car to a safe place and stop the engine. Then, start the engine again to check if theTCS indicator goes out.If the indicator remains lit even after the engine has been started, have your car checked by an Hyundai authorised repairer. NOTE: When TCS illuminates, traction control isautomatically deactivated for safety. o Be sure that the wheels are aligned cor-
rectly. Improper alignment can result from hitting curbs or driving too fast over irregu- lar surfaces. Poor alignment causes faster tyre wear and may also result in other problems as well as greater fuel consump- tion.
o Keep your car in good condition. For better fuel economy and reduced maintenancecosts, maintain your car in accordance with the maintenance schedule in Section 5. If you drive your car in severe condi- tions, more frequent maintenance is re- quired (see Section 5 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum ser- vice, your car should be kept clean and free of corrosive materials. It is especially important that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed to accumulate on the underside of the car. This extra weight can result in increased fuel consumption and also con- tribute to corrosion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary
weight in your car. Weight is an enemy ofgood fuel economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than neces- sary. If you are waiting (and not in traffic),turn off your engine and restart only when you're ready to go.
o Remember, your car does not require extended warm-up. As soon as the engineis running smoothly, you can drive away. In very cold weather, however, give your engine a slightly longer warm-up period.
3) When the engine starts, a click is heard
from the engine compartment; however, this is only the sound of traction control being checked.
4) When moving out of the mud or fresh snow, pressing the accelerator pedalmay not cause the engine speed to increase.

Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check towbar ball and safe- ty cable connections as well as proper operation of the trailer running lights, brake lights, and turn signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a moderate speed (Less than 60 MPH)
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than nor- mal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking efficiency and electrical charging performance, do not usefifth gear (manual transaxle) or overdrive (automatic transaxle). 5. Always secure items in the trailer to pre-
vent load shift whilst driving.
6. Check the condition and air pressure of all tyres on the trailer and your car. Low tyrepressure can seriously affect the handling. Also check the spare tyre.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more af- fected by crosswind and buffeting. 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 other vehicle's air turbulence.
8. When parking your car and trailer, espe- cially on a hill, be sure to follow all thenormal precautions. Turn your front wheels into the curb, set the parking brake firmly, and put the transaxle in 1st or Reverse (manual) or Park (automatic). In addition, place wheel chocks at each of the trailer's tyres.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving, and then applythe trailer brake controller by hand to be sure the brakes are working. This lets you check your electrical connection at the same time.
10.During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure, and that thelights and any trailer brakes are still work- ing. 11.Avoid jerky starts, sudden acceleration or
sudden stops.
12.Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.
13.Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently. This could causethe brakes to overheat, resulting in re- duced braking efficiency.
14.When going down a hill, shift into a lower gear and use the engine braking effect. When ascending a long grade, downshiftthe transaxle to a lower gear and reduce speed to reduce chances of engine over- loading and/or overheating.
15.If you have to stop whilst going uphill, do not hold the vehicle in place by pressing onthe accelerator. This can cause the auto- matic transaxle to overheat. Use the park- ing brake or footbrake.
NOTE:When towing check transaxle fluid more
frequently.
CAUTION:If overheating should occur when towing,
(temperature gauge reads near red zone), taking the following action may reduce or eliminate the problem.
1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Reduce highway speed.
3. Select a lower gear when going uphill.
4. While in stop and go traffic, place the gear selection in park or neutral andidle the engine at a higher speed.
