WARNING:
The engine must never be turned off and the key removed from the ignition key cylinder whilst the ve- hicle is in motion since the steeringlock will operate and control of the vehicle will be lost. SB050B1-E STEERING WHEEL LOCK When the key is removed, the steering column lock will be activated and willengage when the steering wheel is turned to the appropriate position. It is not necessary to turn the wheel untillocked each time the key is removed since in the event of any unauthorized attempt at removal, the lock will be-come effective as soon as the steering wheel is turned.

NOTE: If the engine were not started within 10 seconds after the preheating is completed, turn the ignition key once more to the "LOCK" position,and then to the "ON" position, in order to preheat again.
C051A01O-EAT Starting The Diesel Engine ENGINE COLD
o Turn the ignition key to position
"ON" and wait for the pre-heat indi- cator light to go out.
o Operate the starter until the engine runs.

7FUEL ECONOMY
!
!
C055B01B-GAT STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE FOR TURBO CHARGERINTERCOOLER (DIESEL EN-GINE)
(1) Do not race the engine or sudden
accelerate the engine immediately after start it. If the engine is cold,allow the engine to idle for several seconds before it is driven to en- sure sufficient lubrication of theturbo charger unit.
(2) After high speed or extended driv-
ing, requiring a heavy engine load,the engine should be allowed to idle about 1 minute 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.
WARNING:
Be sure that the clutch is fully de-pressed when starting a manual transaxle vehicle. Otherwise thereis the potential to cause damage to the vehicle or injury to someone inside or outside the vehicle as aresult of the forward or backward movement of the vehicle that will occur if the clutch is not depressedwhen the vehicle is started. SC060B1-E The following suggestions are made to assist in achieving the greatest degree of fuel economy.
o Maintaining a constant check on
fuel consumption will enable the most economical use pattern anddriving 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, remove it 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.
5. Turn the ignition key to the "START"
position and release it when theengine starts.

8MANUAL TRANSAXLE
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 is completed.
o To avoid premature clutch wear, do not use the clutch pedal as afoot rest, and do not hold thevehicle on a gradient using the clutch.
o Ensure that the engine is not over-revved by upshifting beforethe tachometer needle enters the red zone.
o Do not coast with the shift lever at the neutral position.
o When descending long gradi- ents, make use of the engine brak- ing to assist the footbrake to avoid brake fade or overheating.
SC090A03-E
The five speed fully synchronized transaxle is controlled by a floor mounted shift lever upon which theshift pattern is indicated. It is important that when changing gear, the clutch pedal is fully depressed to avoidtransaxle damage.
o Always ensure that the periodic
maintenance services are performedby a Hyundai dealer at the time and/ or mileage intervals specified.
o Use the air conditioning only when necessary.

10AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
YC090A1-E SELECTOR POSITIONS o P (Park): With the selector in this position, no drive is transmitted from the engine and the transaxle output and therefore the front wheels locked. The enginemay be started with the selector in this position.
!
CAUTION:
The selector must NEVER be shifted to the "P" position whilst the ve- hicle is in motion, otherwise seri-ous transaxle damage will result.
C090A01A-EAT
The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transaxle has four forward speeds and one reverse speed. It has a conven-tional shift pattern as shown in the illustration. At night, with the first posi- tion of the multi-function switch, theappropriate symbol on the shift pattern indicator will be illuminated according to the range selected. CAUTION:
Never shift into "R" or "P" position whilst the vehicle is moving. NOTE:
Depress the brake pedal andpush the button when shift- ing. Push the button when shift- ing. The selector lever can be shifted freely.
For optimum fuel economy, acceler-ate gradually. The transaxle will auto-matically shift to the second, third and overdrive gears.

DC110D1-E o N (Neutral): With the selector in this position, no gear is selected and no drive is trans- mitted from the engine. The enginemay be started with the selector in this position.
! CAUTION:
Do not coast with the selector at the "N" position. DC110E1-E o D (Drive): With the selector in this position, first gear will be engaged from rest and thetransmission will automatically upshift to second, third and fourth depending upon the vehicle speed, throttle posi-tion and the position of the overdrive switch. The engine may not be started with the selector in this position. DC110F1-E o 2 (Second Gear): With the selector in this position, first gear will be engaged from rest. Thetransmission will upshift to second gear depending upon the vehicle speed and throttle position. No upshift to third orfourth will occur. The engine may not be started with the selector in this position.
DC110G2-E o L (Low Gear): With the selector in this position, first gear will be engaged from rest. Noupshift will occur regardless of vehicle speed and throttle opening. The en- gine may not be started with the selec-tor in this position.

C090H01A-EAT NOTE:
o The brake pedal should be de-
pressed when shifting from NEU- TRAL to a forward or reversegear.
o The brake pedal fully depressed
in order to move the shift leverfrom the "P" (Park) position to any of the other positions.
o It is always possible to shift from "R", "N", "D", "2", "L" position to"P" position. The vehicle must be fully stopped to avoidtransaxle damage.

C090I02A-EAT
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 forwardpositions 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 transaxle into "P" (Park) and turn off the ignition whenyou leave the vehicle, even mo- mentarily. Never leave the vehicle unattended whilst the engine isrunning.
o Check the automatic transaxle
fluid level regularly, and add fluidas necessary. See the maintenance schedule for the proper fluid recommen-dation. SC130A1-E Overdrive Switch The overdrive switch prevents the transaxle upshifting higher than thirdgear when the switch is turned "OFF". The transaxle will start from rest in first gear and upshift to second and thirdgear depending upon the roadspeed and throttle opening but will not upshift to fourth gear. When the overdriveswitch is turned "ON", the transaxle will start from rest in first gear and will upshift, depending upon roadspeedand throttle opening to second, third and fourth gear.
