CAUTION:
A car with an automatic transaxle should never be towed from the rear with the front wheels on theground. This can cause serious damage to the transaxle. If the car must be towed from the rear, a tow-ing dolly must be used under the front wheels.
! o OK FOR AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL
TRANSAXLE EQUIPPED VEHICLE
If the car is being towed with the rear wheels on the ground, be sure theparking brake is released.
NOTE: Before towing, check the level of the transaxle fluid. If it is below the"HOT" range on the dipstick, add fluid. If you cannot add fluid, a towing dolly must be used.

o If the car is being towed with the rear wheels on the ground, be sure the parking brake is released.
o If the car is being towed with the front wheels on the ground, be surethat the transaxle is in neutral. Also, 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 designedto hold the front wheels straight while the car is being towed.
o If any of the loaded wheels or sus- pension components are damaged,a towing dolly must be used.

33REMOVAL OF WATER FROM THE FUEL FILTER
1. Loosen the drain plug at the bottom
of the fuel filter.
2. Tighten the drain plug when water no longer comes out.
3. Check to be sure that the warning
lamp illuminates when the ignition key is turned to "ON", and that it goes off when the engine is started.If in doubt, consult your nearest authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTE: It is recommended that water accu- mulated in the fuel filter should be removed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
G300B01A G300A01A
G240A01A-AAT POWER STEERING HOSES It is suggested that you check the power steering hose connections forfluid leakage at regular intervals. The power steering hoses should be re- placed if there is severe surface crack-ing, scuffing or worn spots. Deteriora- tion of the hose could cause prema- ture failure. G300A02B-GAT (DIESEL ENGINE) If the fuel filter warning light illuminates during driving, it indicates that waterhas accumulated in the fuel filter. If this occurs, remove the water as described below.
It is due to a power steering fluidcharacteristic in extremely cold con-ditions. Recommended Fluid Use PSF-3 type fluid NOTE: Do not start the engine when the power steering oil reservoir is empty.
!WARNING:
Be sure to carefully wipe away any water drained out in this manner, because the fuel mixed in the water might be ignited and result in a fire.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS

!
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
H020A01A-GAT
(If Installed) ; For a gasoline engine
HLC5022
The catalytic converter is part of the exhaust emission control system. Itspurpose is to remove certain engine emission products from the engine's exhaust. It looks something like amuffler and is located underneath the car in the exhaust system.
Catalytic Converter H020B01A-GAT
About the Catalytic Converter
Exhaust gases passing through the
catalytic converter cause it to operate at very high temperatures. As a re-sult, the introduction of large amounts of unburned gasoline may cause it to overheat and create a fire hazard.This can be avoided by observing the following: H020D01S-GAT CATALYTIC CONVERTER ; For a diesel engine All Hyundai vehicles are equipped with oxidation type catalytic converter to reduce the carbon monoxide, hy- drocarbons and particulate containedin the exhaust gas.
WARNING:
o Use unleaded fuel only.
o Maintain your engine in good condition. Extremely high con- verter temperatures can result from improper operation of theelectrical, ignition or fuel injec- tion systems.
o If your engine stalls, pings, knocks, or is hard to start, takeyour car to your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible and havethe difficulty corrected.
o Avoid driving with a very low fuel level. If your run out of gasoline, it could cause the en- gine to misfire and result in ex-cessive loading of the catalytic converter.
o Avoid idling the engine for peri- ods longer than 10 minutes.
o Your Hyundai should not be ei- ther pushed or pulled to get itstarted. This can cause the cata- lytic converter to overload.
