o Do not install a child restraint
system in the front passenger seat position.
o A child restraint system must
never be placed in the front seat.The infant or child could be se- verely injured by an airbag de- ployment in case of an accident.
o If components of the airbag sys- tem must be discarded, or if thevehicle must be scrapped, cer-tain safety precautions must be observed. Your Hyundai dealer knows these precautions and cangive you the necessary informa- tion. Failure to follow these pre- cautions and procedures couldincrease the risk of personal in- jury.
o If you sell your vehicle, make certain that this manual is trans-ferred to the new owner.
o If your car was flooded and has soaked carpeting or water onflooring, you shouldn't try to start engine; have the car towed toauthorized Hyundai dealer.o Do not replace the bumper or thebumper guard with the one other than the Hyundai genuine parts. Otherwise, it can adversely af- fect SRS performance and leadto unexpected injury.

o Set the temperature control to
"Cool". ("Cool" provides maximum cooling. The temperature may be moderated by moving the control toward "Warm".)
o Adjust the fan control to the desired speed. For greater cooling, turn thefan control to one of the higherspeeds or temporarily select the recirculate ( ) position on the air intake control. B740C01A-AAT De-Humidified Heating For dehumidified heating:
o Turn on the fan control switch.
o Turn on the air conditioning switch.
The air conditioning indicator light should come on at the same time.
o Set the air intake control to the fresh
air ( ) position.
o Set the air flow control to the face
( ) position.
o Adjust the fan control to the desired speed.
o For more rapid action, set the fan at
one of the higher speeds.
o Adjust the temperature control to
provide the desired amount of warmth.

B740D01Y-AAT Operation Tips
o If the interior of the car is hot when
you first get in, open the windows for a few minutes to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air condi-
tioning system, keep all windowsclosed to keep hot air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy
traffic, shift to a lower gear. Thisincreases engine speed, which in turn increases the speed of the air conditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air condi- tioning off to avoid the possibility ofthe engine overheating.
o During winter months or in periods when the air conditioning is not usedregularly, run the air conditioningonce every month for a few min- utes. This will help circulate the lubricants and keep your system inpeak operating condition.

WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open the windows immediately. o Do not inhale exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation. o Be sure the exhaust system does not leak. The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If you hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the car, have the exhaust system checked as soon as possible by your Hyundai dealer. o Do not run the engine in an enclosed area. Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the engine in your garage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out. o Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car. If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an open area with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior. If you must drive with the tail gate open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary: 1. Close all windows. 2. Open side vents. 3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front ofthe windshield are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.

3 WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
4IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
!
5. Start the engine in the car with the
discharged battery using the nor- mal starting procedure. After the engine starts, leave the jumper cables connected and let the enginerun at fast idle or about 2000 rpm for several minutes.
6. carefully remove the jumper cables in the reverse order of attachment.
If you do not know why your battery became discharged (because the lights were left on, etc.), have the charging system checked by your Hyundaidealer. D030A02HP-AAT If your temperature gauge indicates overheating, you experience a loss of power, or hear loud pinging or knock- ing, the engine is probably too hot. Ifthis happens to you, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as
it is safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P"
(automatic), or neutral (manual transmission) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If engine coolant is running out un- der the car or steam is coming outfrom under the hood, stop the en-gine. Do not open the hood until the engine coolant has stopped running or the steaming has stopped. If thereis no visible loss of coolant and no steam, leave the engine running and check to be sure the enginecooling fan is operating. If the fan is not running, turn the engine off. 4. Check to see if the water pump drive
belt is missing. If it is not missing, check to see that it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be satisfactory, check for engine coolant leakingfrom the radiator, hoses or under the car. (If the air conditioning had been in use, it is normal for coldwater to be draining from it when you stop).
WARNING:
While the engine is running, keephands and clothing away from mov- ing parts such as the fan and drivebelts to prevent injury.

G060A01HP-GAT
(Gasoline Engine Only)
Your engine was originally equipped
with platinum-tipped spark plugs.
Platinum-tipped spark plugs will last
longer than conventional type spark plugs and can be identified by blue lines on the ceramic shell.
NOTE: Do not clean or regap platinum-
tipped spark plugs.
Unleaded: 1.0 ~ 1.1mm Leaded : 0.7 ~ 0.8mm
Type
RC10PYPB4 (CHAMPION) PFR5N-11 (NGK) RC10YC(CHAMPION)BKR5ES (NGK)
G060B01HP-AAT
Replacing the Spark Plugs
The spark plugs should be changed
at the intervals specified in the ve- hicle maintenance schedule in Sec- tion 5 or whenever engine perfor-mance indicates they should be changed. Symptoms that suggest poor spark plug performance include en-gine misfiring under load, loss of fuel economy, poor acceleration, etc.
When spark plugs are replaced, al-
ways use spark plugs recommended by Hyundai. The use of other sparkplugs can result in loss of perfor- mance, radio interference or engine damage. Recommended Spark Plugs:Remark Unleaded* Leaded
*: Platinum coated
6. Start the engine, top off the radia- tor with water and then add coolant to the reservoir until the level is between "LOW" and "FULL".
7. Replace the radiator and reservoir caps and check to be sure thedrain cocks are fully closed and not leaking.
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled byengine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Useextreme caution when working near the blades of the coolant fan so that you are not injured by a rotat-ing fan blade. As the engine cool- ant temperature decreases, the fan will automatically shut off. This isa normal condition. G060A01L

22CHECKING THE BRAKES
!
G120A01A-AAT
CAUTION:
Because brakes are essential to the safe operation of the car, it issuggested that they be checked and inspected by your Hyundai dealer. The brakes should bechecked and inspected for wear at those intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule inSection 5.!!WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even whenthe engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan, sothat you are not injured by a rotat- ing fan blade. As the engine cool- ant temperature decreases, the fanwill automatically shut off. This is a normal condition. WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system
with engine running or within 30 seconds after shutting off engine. High pressure pump, rail, injec- tors and high pressure pipes aresubjected to high pressure even after the engine has been switched off. The fuel jet produced by fuelleaks may cause serious injury, if it contacts with the body. People using pacemakers should notmove closer than 30cm to the ECU or wiring harness within the en- gine room with the engine run-ning, since the high currents in the Common Rail system produce considerable magnetic fields.

24AIR CONDITIONING CARECHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID
G140A01A-AAT
Keeping the Condenser Clean
The air conditioning condenser (and
engine radiator) should be checked periodically for accumulation of dirt, dead insects, leaves, etc. These caninterfere with maximum cooling effi- ciency. When removing such accu- mulations, brush or hose them awaycarefully to avoid bending the cooling fans.
!
G130A01A-AAT
To Check the Clutch Fluid The clutch fluid level in the master cylinder should be checked whenperforming other under hood services. The system should be checked for leakage at the same time. Check tomake certain that the clutch fluid level is always between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluid res-ervoir. Fill as required. Fluid loss indi- cates a leak in the clutch system which should be inspected and re-paired immediately. Consult your Hyundai dealer. G130B02A-AAT
To Replace the Fluid
Recommended brake fluid conform-
ing to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specificationshould be used. The reservoir cap must be fully tightened to avoid con-tamination from foreign matter or moisture.
NOTE: Do not allow any other liquids to
contaminate the brake fluid. Seal damage will result.
WARNING:
Use caution when handling brake
fluid. It can damage your vision ifyou get it in your eyes. It will also damage your vehicle’s paint if spilled on it and not removed im-mediately.
