NOTE: Do not operate the starter for more than 15 seconds continuously or continue to operate the starter afterthe engine has started to avoid dam- aging the starter motor. If the en- gine makes a false start, allow it andthe starter motor to come to rest before attempting to start the en- gine again. Never attempt to startthe engine with the transmission in gear. Do not depress the accelera- tor pedal whilst starting the engine.Allow the engine to idle for 20 sec- onds or so before driving the ve- hicle.
CAUTION:
Do not leave the vehicle unattendedwhilst idling. Never allow the vehicleto idle or warm up in a confined space (i.e. garage) longer than is necessary to move the vehicle intoan open area. C050B01HP-EAT Starting Procedure
1. Insert key, and fasten the seat belt.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. If your Hyundai is equipped with a
manual transmission, place the shiftlever in neutral and depress theclutch pedal fully. If your Hyundai has an automatic transmission, place the shift lever in "P" (park). NOTE: If the engine were not started within 2 seconds after the preheating is completed, turn the ignition keyonce more to the "LOCK" position during 10 seconds, and then to the "ON" position, in order to preheatagain.
WARNING:
Be sure that the clutch is fully de- pressed when starting a manual tranmission vehicle. Otherwise thereis the potential to cause damage to the vehicle or injury to someone inside or outside the ve-hicle as a result of the forward or backward movement of the vehicle that will occur if the clutch is notdepressed when the vehicle is started.

o Do not accelerate the engine in reverse or any of the forward posi-tions with the brakes applied.
o Always apply the footbrake when shifting from "P" or "N" to "R","D", "2" or "L" position.
o Do not use the "P" (Park) posi- tion in place of the parking brake.Always set the parking brake,shift the transmission into "P" (Park) and turn off the ignition when you leave the vehicle, evenmomentarily. Never leave the ve- hicle unattended whilst the en- gine is running.
o Check the automatic transmis- sion fluid level regularly and addfluid as necessary. SC130A1-E OVERDRIVE SWITCH The overdrive switch prevents the trans- mission upshifting higher than third gear when the switch is turned "OFF". Thetransmission will start from rest in first gear and upshift to second and third gear depending upon the roadspeedand throttle opening but will not upshift to fourth gear. When the overdrive switch is turned "ON", the transmission willstart from rest in first gear and will upshift, depending upon roadspeed and throttle opening to second, third andfourth gear. Therefore, when the over- drive switch is turned "OFF", the trans- mission performs as a three speed unitand the overdrive warning light located

(6) Since the driving torque is always
applied to the 4 wheels, the perfor- mance of the full-time 4WD vehicle is greatly affected by the condition of the tyres. Be sure to equip it withall four tyres of the same size and type.
o When replacement of any of the tyres or disc wheels is neces-sary, replace all of them.
o Rotate the tyres and check the tyre pressure at regular inter-vals.
WARNING:
Your vehicle is equipped with tyresdesigned to provide for safe ride and handling capability.Do not use a size and type of tyre and wheel that is different from the one that was originally installed on yourvehicle. It can affect the safety and performance of your vehicle, which could lead to handling failure orrollover and serious injury. When replacing the tyres, be sure to equip all four tyres with the tyre andwheel of the same size, type, tread, brand and load-carrying capacity. Ifyou nevertheless decide to equipyour vehicle with any tyre/wheel com- bination not recommended by Hyundai for off-road driving, youshould not use these tyres for high- way driving.
(7) The full-time 4WD vehicle cannot
be towed by an ordinary tow truck. Make sure that the vehicle is towedwith its four wheels raised off the ground.
o If the vehicle is towed with its
only two wheels raised off the ground, the 4WD system could be damaged.
o In unavoidable case, if the ve- hicle is being towed with all fourwheels on the ground, it shouldbe towed only forward direction with rope.
o Whilst towing, check the follow- ing items.
1. The ignition switch is in "ACC"
or "ON".
2. Place the shift lever in neutral (For Automatic Transmission, "N" position).
3. Release the parking brake. NOTE: To avoid serious damage to your 4WD vehicle, limit towing to 10 mph (15km/h) and not for more than 1mile (1.5km) at ANY TIME. (8) For speedometer test or inspection/
maintenance (I/M) program of full- time 4WD vehicle, use a four-wheel chassis dynamometer.
CAUTION:
Never engage the parking brakewhilst performing these tests.

!WARNING:
If the engine refuses to start, no attempt should be made to push or tow start the vehicle. Vehicles with automatic transmission or fuel in-jection will not be able to be started in this manner since no drive is transmitted through the automatictransmission whilst the engine is not running, and in the case of fuel injected derivatives, the fuel pumpwill not operate under tow start conditions. In addition, if the ve- hicle is equipped with an exhaustcatalyst, damage to the catalyst may result if the vehicle is tow started. HPD020B1-E If The Engine Cannot Be Cranked
1. If the vehicle is fitted with manual
transmission, ensure that the clutch pedal is depressed whilst cranking the engine. If the vehicle is fitted with automatic transmission, en-sure that the transmission 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. 4. Do not attempt to push or tow start
the vehicle, refer to "Jump Starting"for information regarding engine start- ing when the battery is discharged.
D010C02A-EAT If Engine Turns Over Normally but Does Not Start
1. Check fuel level.
2. With the key in the "OFF" position, check all connectors at ignition coilsand spark plugs(For Petrol Engine) or check all connectors at glow plugand glow plug relay(For Diesel En- gine). Reconnect any that may be disconnected or loose.
3. Check fuel line in the engine com- partment.
4. If engine still refuses to start, call a Hyundai dealer or seek other quali- fied assistance.

o Be sure that the ignition key is in the "ACC" position. This is necessary to prevent damage to the steering lock mechanism, which is not designed to hold the front wheels straightwhilst the car is being towed.
o If any of the loaded wheels or sus-
pension components are damaged,a towing dolly must be used. D080C02HP-EAT Towing A Car With Automatic Transmission Be sure that the transmission is in neutral. Do not tow at speeds greater than 30 mph (50 km/h) and for morethan 15 miles (25 km). NOTE: Before towing, check the level of the transmission fluid. If it is below the "HOT" range on the dipstick, add fluid. If you cannot add fluid, a tow-ing dolly must be used.
!
CAUTION:
A car with an automatic transmis- sion should never be towed from thefront with the rear wheels on the ground. This can cause serious dam- age to the transmission. If the carmust be towed from the front, a tow- ing dolly must be used under the rear wheels.

YG220A1-E POWER STEERING HOSES It is suggested that you check the power steering hose connections forfluid leakage at those intervals speci- fied in the vehicle maintenance sched- ule in Section 5. The power steeringhoses should be replaced if there are severe surface cracking, pulling, scuff- ing or worn spots. Deterioration of thehoses could cause premature failure. NOTE: The power steering pump may be noisy when the engine is first started in the extreme cold (-4°F).This noise is not abnormal and will stop as the engine warms up. If the power steering pump contin-ues to be noisy after the engine has warmed up, have it inspected by your Authorised Hyundai Dealer.
The power steering fluid level should
be checked regularly.
To check the power steering fluid level,
be sure the ignition is "OFF", thencheck to make certain that the powersteering fluid level is between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluid reservoir.
NOTE: Do not check whilst the engine is
running. Do not start when power steering fluid reservoir is empty. Fluid Recommendation
Only automatic transmission fluid meeting the specification of PSF-3 orATF DEXRON 2 should be used in the power steering system.POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
