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.

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.

C055B02HP-GAT STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE FOR TURBOCHARGER INTERCOOLER(Diesel Engine)
(1) Do not race or suddenly accelerate
the engine immediately after start- ing it. If the engine is cold, allow theengine to idle for several seconds before it is driven to ensure suffi- cient lubrication of the turbo chargerunit.
(2) After high speed driving or prolonged
engine loading, the engine shouldbe allowed to idle, as shown in the following chart, before turning it off. This idle time will allow the turbocharger to cool prior to shutting the engine off. WARNING:
Do not turn the engine off immedi-ately after it has been subjected to a heavy load. Doing so may causesevere damage to the engine or turbo charger unit. Steep mountain slopes or continued driving in ex-
cess of 62 MPH
Required Idle Time Not necessary About 20 secondsAbout 1 minute About 2 minutesDriving Condition Normal driving High speed driving
Up to 50 MPH Up to 62 MPHDC090C1-E FUEL ECONOMY The following suggestions are made to assist in achieving the greatest degreeof fuel economy.
o Maintaining a constant check on
fuel consumption will enable the most economical use pattern and driving style to be adopted.
o Avoid using the vehicle for very short journeys if possible, particu-larly when a cold start is involved.
o Ensure that tyre pressures are main- tained 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, removeit as soon as possible after use.
o Anticipate the road and conditions
ahead to enable adjustments inspeed to be made smoothly. Avoid heavy acceleration and sharp brak- ing.
o Avoid cruising at unnecessary high speeds.

o Always ensure that the periodic main-
tenance services are performed by a Hyundai dealer at the time and/or mileage intervals specified.
o Use the air conditioner only when
necessary.
The five speed fully synchronized trans-mission is controlled by a floor mounted shift lever upon which the shift patternis indicated. It is important that when changing gear, the clutch pedal is fully depressed to avoid transmission dam-age. CAUTION:
o Do not attempt to engage reverse gear when the car is in motion.
o To avoid damaging the selector mechanism, do not use the gear shift lever as a hand rest. Release the lever immediately the shift iscompleted.
o To avoid premature clutch wear,
do not use the clutch pedal as afoot rest, and do not hold the vehicle on a gradient using the clutch.
o Ensure that the engine is not over- revved by upshifting before thetachometer needle enters the redzone.
o Do not coast with the shift lever at
the neutral position.
o When descending long gradients, make use of the engine braking toassist the footbrake to avoid brakefade or over-heating.

o When slippery conditions are en-
countered, increased caution should be exercised when gear changing, braking or accelerat- ing. Abrupt changes in speed maycause a loss of traction or control of the vehicle.
o During cold weather, shifting may be difficult until the transmis-sion lubricant has warmed up. This is normal and not harmful tothe transmission.
o If you've come to a complete stop
and it's hard to shift into 1st orR(Reverse), put the shift lever in N(Neutral) position and release the clutch. Press the clutch pedalback down, and then shift into 1st or R(Reverse) gear position.
o Do not use the shift lever as a handrest during driving, as thiscan result in premature wear of the transmission shift forks. C070B01A-EAT Using the Clutch The clutch should be pressed all the way to the floor before shifting, then released slowly. The clutch pedal should aways be used after fully re-turning to the original position. Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal whilst driving. This can cause unnecessarywear. Do not partially engage the clutch to hold the car on an incline. This causesunnecessary wear. Use the parking brake to hold the car on an incline. Do not operate the clutch pedal rapidlyand repeatedly.
!WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lane changes or fast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts.
In a collision crash, an unbeltedperson is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seatbelt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly in- creased if you lose control of yourvehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the road-way and the driver oversteers toreenter 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.
