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.

2- 10 C300B01O-GAT TCS ON ModeIn the TCS ON mode, the indicator in the instrument cluster will not be illuminated. NOTE:
1) Turn off the engine. Then restart the
engine, and the TCS mode will auto- matically turn "ON".
2) When the traction control is operating properly, you can feel a slight pulsationin the vehicle. This is only the effect of brake control and indicates nothing unusual.
Driving hints TCS does not actively apply brakes. Be sure to decelerate the car sufficiently before enter- ing curves. CAUTION: When the TCS indicator blinks, SLIP con-trol has been activated. It also means that the road is slippery or your car is acceler- ating excessively. In this situation, release foot pressure from the accelerator pedal and maintain moderate speed. WARNING: Traction control is only a driving aid; all normal precautions for driving in inclem- ent weather and on slippery driving sur- faces should be observed.
The braking distance for cars equipped
with an anti-lock braking system may belonger than for those without it, in the following road conditions.
o Driving on rough, gravel or snow-cov-
ered roads.
o Driving with tyre chains installed.
o Driving on roads where the road sur- face is pitted or has different surfaceheight.
These roads should be driven at reduced
speeds. The safety features of an ABSequipped vehicle should not be tested by high speed driving or cornering. This could endanger the safety of yourself or others. C300A01O-EAT
BRAKE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (BTCS) (Not all models)
On slippery road surfaces, the traction control system (TCS) limits the drive wheels from spinning excessively, thus helping the car to accelerate. It also provides sufficient driving force and steering performance as the car turns at accelerated speeds.
SLIP Control Limits the drive wheels from spinning exces-sively during starting or whilst making accel- erated turns on slippery roads to avoid losing the driving force of the front wheels.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with
the accelerator pedal. This can cause the transmission to overheat. Always use the brake pedal or parking brake.
SC140B1-E ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (Not all models) The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is de- signed to prevent wheel lock-up during sud- den braking or on hazardous road surfaces. The ABS control module monitors the wheel speed and controls the pressure applied to each brake. Thus, in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABS will increase vehicle con- trol during braking. NOTE: During ABS operation, a slight pulsation may be felt in the brake pedal when the brakes are applied. Also, a noise may be heard in the engine compartment whilst braking. These conditions are normal and indicate that the anti-lock brake system is functioning properly. WARNING: ABS will not prevent accidents due to im-proper or dangerous driving maneuvers. Even though vehicle control is improved during emergency braking, always maintain a safe distance between you and objects ahead. Vehicle speeds should always be reduced during extreme road conditions.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 13
NOTE: Never allow undiluted screen washer fluidadditive to spill upon the paintwork or use engine coolant anti-freeze since damage to the paintwork may result.
o When driving in extreme conditions, the
windscreen wiper blades may fail to clear the screen properly due to the formation of ice upon the blade edge. It will therefore be necessary to periodically remove such ice to restore their efficiency.
o If the power operated door mirrors become frozen, attempts to adjust these may dam-age the mechanism.
o The formation of snow or ice built up inside the wheel arches may interfere with theroad wheels or steering mechanism. In such instances, unusual noises or an in- crease in steering effort may result. There- fore, ensure that the wheel arches are checked periodically and any accumulated snow or ice removed.
o It is advisable to carry emergency equip- ment including, torch, shovel, tow rope,blankets etc., if a journey is to be under- taken into areas of severe road conditions. SC200B3-E
TOWING ATTACHMENTS It is strongly recommended that only an
Hyundai Approved towing attachment is usedto ensure that the loads placed upon the body structure are correctly distributed. The use of a non approved attachment will result in the invalidation of the vehicle warranty. Hyundai towing attachments are designed and con- structed to ensure maximum towing perfor- mance and ease of fitment. A range of acces- sories including electrical kits are available through the Hyundai authorised repairer net- work.
It is of the utmost importance that those areas
of the vehicle which are subjected to greaterstress during towing are maintained in accor- dance with the recommendations given at the end of this book. In addition, the daily operating checks relating to engine oil, transmission oil and tyres must be performed at each refuelling to ensure maximum reliability and safety. The use of a proprietary stabiliser will assist in
achieving an inherently stable outfit but whilstthe use of such equipment will improve the characteristics of a balanced outfit, it will not compensate for a badly loaded and therefore unstable outfit.
The tyres and braking equipment fitted to the
trailer or caravan must be maintained in ac- cordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer. Special attention should be paid
WARNING: It is not recommended that the vehicle be used for towing until the first 1,000 miles of Running in has been completed. All Hyundai MATRIX models are suited to tow- ing trailers and caravans up to the limits indicated on page 2-14. MATRIX models fitted with automatic transaxle have a transaxle oil cooler and further transaxle cooling should not be required.

driving vehicles with automatic transmission will assist with braking performance when long down hill gradients are encountered. Improved acceleration performance will be available by selecting "Overdrive Off","2", or "1" depending upon road speed if it is found that the transmission unit makes an undesir- able upshift whilst hill climbing or overtaking. The transmission unit should be operated in "D" with the Overdrive "On" under normal circumstances to enhance fuel economy and reduce noise and engine wear.

to tyres which deteriorate through time and exposure rather than as a result of the dis- tances towed. The inside walls of the tyres should be inspected along with the outside walls for cracking and damage. The trailer wheel nut torque must be checked on a regular basis, preferably before each towing session. The trailer hitch and the safety catch mecha- nism must be maintained in good working order. The trailer break away cable or chain should be inspected for damage and should be attached to the vehicle towing attachment each and every time the trailer is hitched to the vehicle. Whilst towing, the performance of the vehicle will be reduced in terms of acceleration, brak- ing and handling due to the increased loads placed upon the vehicle. The driver should anticipate the change in characteristics and adjust the driving style in keeping with these changes. Care should be exercised when cornering and braking to prevent the outfit becoming uncontrollable by reducing corner- ing speeds and allowing increased braking distances. The driver should exercise care to ensure that when pulling away from rest particularly on uphill gradients the clutch unit is not subjected to excessive slippage which will reduce the useful life of this component.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING REQUIREMENTS To ensure the continued reliability and safety
of the vehicle, certain routine maintenance operations are required at specific mileage ortime intervals.
It is the responsibility of the vehicle owner to
ensure that the maintenance schedules shownin both this Owners Manual and the Warrantyand Service Passport are adhered to.
The new vehicle warranty may be invalidated
if the routine maintenance operations are notperformed in line with the recommendationsoutlined and the safety and durability of thevehicle adversely affected.
It is recommended that all maintenance op-
erations with the exception of the daily oper-ating checks are entrusted to a Hyundaiauthorised repairer to ensure that the latestrepair and maintenance procedures andspecialised servicing tools are employed. In addition, the use of genuine Hyundai re-
placement parts will ensure that the vehiclesafety and performance will not be compro-mised. NOTE: The inspection and testing of certain elec-
tronic fuel injection/engine management and automatic transmission control sys-tems require specialised electronic equip-ment specifically designed for Hyundaivehicles. The use of general purpose elec-trical test equipment may result in dam-age to the control unit microprocessors.

Specified Scheduled Procedures The Specified scheduled procedures are listed
in the maintenance charts beginning at page 5-2. The operations specified must be per-formed at the time or mileage intervals shownirrespective of whether the mileage intervalhas been reached before the specified timeinterval.
Certain lubricants and components degrade
with both time and mileage (e.g. engine oil andbrake fluid) and therefore it is not permissableto base the maintenance schedule upon mile-age alone. It is strongly recommended thatthe maintenance operations are performed bythe factory-trained or distributor-trained tech-nicians at your Hyundai authorised repairer because of the need for specialised knowl-edge and tooling and to ensure that no pos-sibility of invalidating the manufacturers war-ranty exists.
The maintenance schedules relate to ve-
hicles operated under normal conditions, ve-hicles which are operated under adverseconditions will require more frequent mainte-nance which is described at page 5-5. NOTE:
Service schedules may change depend-
ing on individual country needs. Please ask your local Hyundai authorised re-pairer for a copy of the service schedulethat relates to that country.

WARNING: The cooling fan is controlled by engine
coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when the engine is not run-ning. Use extreme caution when workingnear the blades of the cooling fan so thatyou are not injured by a rotating fan blade.As the engine coolant temperature de-creases, the fan will automatically shutoff. This is a normal condition.
WARNING (Diesel only): Never work on injection system with en-
gine running or within 30 seconds after shutting off engine. High pressure pump,rail, injectors and high pressure pipes aresubject to high pressure even after theengine stopped. The fuel jet produced byfuel leaks may cause serious injury, if itcontacts the body.

To check the power steering fluid level, be
sure the ignition is "OFF", then check to make certain that the power steering fluid level isbetween the "MAX" and "MIN" level markingson the fluid reservoir.
NOTE: Grinding noise from power steering pump
may be heard immediately after the engine is started in extremely cold condition(below -4°F). If the noise stops during warmup, there is no abnormal function in thesystem. This is due to a power steeringfluid characteristic in extremely cold con-ditions. FLUID RECOMMENDATION
Only automatic transmission fluid meeting the
specification of PSF-3 or Dexron 2 should be used in the power steering system. SG230B1-E POWER STEERING HOSES Power steering hoses should be checked for damage, deterioration and leakage at each ser-vice.

BLEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM (Diesel engine)
The fuel system should be bled to remove air
as described in the illustration if the fuel supply is exhausted during travel, when the fuel filteris replaced, or if the vehicle is not used for along time.
1. Remove the air cap with pushing the but- ton.
G350A01FC
G350B01FC
2. Pump the hand pump until there are no more bubbles in the fuel coming out of the air pipe. When doing this, place a clotharound the air pipe to prevent the escapingfuel from spewing about.
3. Replace the air cap when there are no more bubbles in the fuel.
4. Continue pumping until the hand pump becomes stiff.
5. Finally, check to be sure that there is no leakage of fuel. If in doubt, consult your nearest Hyundai authorised repairer.
WARNING:
o Do not smoke or have any other open flame near the vehicle while bleedingthe fuel system.
o Be sure to carefully wipe away any water drained out in this manner, be-cause the fuel mixed in the water mightbe ignited and result in a fire.
