YC030A1-E STEERING WHEEL LOCK When the ignition key is removed, the steering wheel lock will be activated.The lock only engages at one position of the steering wheel and therefore it will be possible to turn the wheel untilthis position is reached. It is not, how- ever, necessary for the lock to be engaged before leaving the vehiclesince in the event of attempted unauthorised removal, the lock will en- gage when attempts are made to steerthe vehicle. Should it be difficult to turn the key from the "LOCK" position, it may befound that rocking the steering wheel to and fro whilst turning the key will assist.
CAUTION:
Never remove the key from the igni- tion lock whilst the vehicle is in motion since the steering mecha-nism lock will be activated. C070C01A-AAT To Remove the Ignition Key
1. Turn the ignition key to the "ACC"
position.
2. Simultaneously push and turn the
ignition key counterclockwise
from the "ACC" position to the "LOCK" position.
3. The key can be removed in the "LOCK" position.

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.
5. Turn the ignition key to the "START" position and release it when the engine starts.

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 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

in the instrument cluster will be illumi- nated. When the overdrive switch isturned "ON", the transmission func- tions as a fully automatic four speed unit with the maximum fuel economypotential of the vehicle being realized. HPC120D2-E General Operating Instructions
o The button in the selector handle
must be depressed before the se- lector 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" or "L" and vice versa.
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 and the transmission al- lowed to select the most ideal ratiofor the circumstances. In this posi- tion 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 transmission may repeatedly change between two adjacent ratios. This is a normal characteristic and may beprevented by cancelling the over- drive facility if the shifting occurs between third and fourth ratios, se-lecting position "2" if the shifting occurs between third and second ratios or selecting position "1" if theshifting occurs between first and second ratios.
o Never move the selector to or from the "P" or "N" position with the accel-erator depressed.
o Ensure that the overdrive switch is at the "ON" position for maximumeconomy.
o If rapid acceleration is required, fully depress the accelerator pedal. Inthis condition, the kickdown mecha- nism will be operated and the trans-mission will automatically downshift according to the vehicle speed.
o The automatic transaxle may be used to great effect if the vehicle becomesstuck in snow or mud by allowing the vehicle to be rocked to and fro. Theengine speed should be held at ap-

D090E02HP-EAT Driving Four-wheel drive safely
o The driving posture should be more
upright; adjust the seat to a good position for easy steering and pedal operation.
o Be sure to wear the seat belt.
o Drive carefully when off the road and avoid dangerous areas.
o 4WD has higher ground clearance and a narrower track to make them capable of performing in a wide vari- ety of off road applications. Specificdesign characteristics give them a higher centre of gravity than ordinary cars. An advantage of the higherground clearance is a better view of the road allowing you to anticipate problems. They are not designed forcornering at the same speeds as conventional 2-wheel drive vehicles any more than low-slung sports carsare designed to perform satisfacto- rily under off-road conditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or abruptmaneuvers. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in lossof control or vehicle rollover. o Do not grip the inside or spokes of
the steering wheel when driving off-road. The steering wheel could jerk and injure your hands. Always firmly hold the outer steering wheel whenyou are driving off-road.
o Drive at lower speeds in strong cross-
winds. Because of your vehicle’shigh centre of gravity, its stability will be affected in crosswinds. Slower speeds ensure better vehicle con-trol.
o Check your brake condition once
you are out of mud or water. Pressthe brake several times as you move slowly until your feel normal braking forces return.
o Four-wheel driving on flat and normal roads can result in a severe bindingcondition when turning the steeringwheel.
Driving on dry paved road and highway Select the 2H(2WD) to drive on dry paved roads. Especially on dry high- way, never select the 4H or 4L(4WD).

(1) Be sure to wear the seat belt.
(2) Drive at lower speeds in strong
crosswinds. Because of your vehicle's high centre of gravity, its stability will be affected in cross-winds. Slower speeds ensure bet- ter vehicle control.
(3) Check the brake condition after driving in wet or muddy conditions.Press the brake several times as you move slowly until you feel nor-mal braking forces return.
(4) Do not drive the vehicle through
water. (i.e. streams, rivers, lakes,etc.)
(5) The stopping distance of the full-
time 4WD vehicle differs very littlefrom that of the 2WD vehicle. When driving on a snow-covered road or a slippery, muddy surface,make sure that you keep a suffi- cient distance between your ve- hicle and the one ahead of you.
AUTO Mode Full power delivered to front and rear axles for increase traction. Use this mode for normal on-road operatingconditions such as dry road surfaces, wet pavement, snow-covered roads and/or off-road. LOW Mode Full power to both axles, including a lower gear ratio for low-speed applica-tions that require extra power such as dry road surfaces, wet pavement, snow-covered roads and/or off-road.Especially when increased drive power is required. "LOW" mode is not recommended ondry pavement. The 4WD LOW indicator light ( ) will be turned on to remind you that youare in the LOW mode.
