CARE OF DISCS
B850A02L B850A02F-AAT
Proper HandlingStorage
When not in use, place your discs in their
individual case and store them in a cool
place away from the sun, heat, and dust.
Do not grip or pull out the disc with your
hand while the disc is being pulled into the
unit by the self loading mechanism.Keep Your Discs Clean
Handle your disc as shown. Do not drop
the disc. Hold the disc so you will not leave
fingerprints on the surface. If the surface is
scratched, it may cause the pickup to skip
signal tracks. Do not affix tape, paper, or
gummed labels on the disc. Do not write on
the disc.Damaged DiscDo not attempt to play damaged, warped
or cracked discs. These could severely
damage the playback mechanism.Fingerprints, dust, or soil on the surface of
a disc could cause the pickup to skip signal
tracks. Wipe the surface clean with a clean
soft cloth. If the surface is heavily soiled,
dampen a clean soft cloth in a solution of
mild neutral detergent to wipe it clean. See
drawing.

CARE OF CASSETTE TAPESB860A01A-AATProper care of your cassette tapes will
extend the tape life and increase your
listening enjoyment. Always protect your
tapes and cassette cases from direct sun-
light and severely cold and dusty condi-
tions. When not in use, cassettes should
always be stored in the original protective
cassette case. When the vehicle is very hot
or cold, allow the interior temperature to
become more comfortable before listen-
ing to your cassettes.

o The playback head, capstan and pinch
rollers will develop a coating of tape
residue that can result in deterioration
of sound quality, such as a wavering
sound. They should be cleaned monthly
using a commercially available head
cleaning tape or special solution avail-
able from audio specialty shops. Follow
the supplier's directions carefully and
never oil any part of the tape player unit.
o Always be sure that the tape is tightly
wound on its reel before inserting in the
player. Rotate a pencil in the drive
sprockets to wind up any slack.

o Keep all magnetized objects, such as
electric motors, speakers or transform-
ers away from your cassette tapes and
tape player unit.
o Store cassettes in a cool, dry place with
the open side facing down to prevent
dust from setting in the cassette body.
o Avoid repeated fast reverse usage to
replay one given tune or tape section.
This can cause poor tape winding to
occur, and eventually cause excessive
internal drag and poor audio quality in
the cassette. If this occurs, it can some-
times be corrected by fast winding the
tape from end to end several times. If
this does not correct the problem, do not
continue to use the tape in your vehicle.
B860A01TG
o Be sure that the cassette label is not
loose or peeling off or tape ejection may
be difficult.
o Never touch or soil the actual audio
tape surfaces. o Never leave a cassette inserted in the
player when not being played. This
could damage the tape player unit and
the cassette tape.
o We strongly recommend against the
use of tapes longer than C-60 (60 min-
utes total). Tapes such as C-120 or C-
180 are very thin and do not perform as
well in the automotive environment.

ANTENNAB870D01Y-AATGlass AntennaWhen the radio power switch is turned on
while the ignition key is in either the "ON"
or "ACC" position, your car will receive
both AM and FM broadcast signals through
the antenna in the rear window glass.
HTG2189
NOTE:Look at a tape before you insert it.
If the tape is loose, tighten it by turning
one of the hubs with a pencil or your
finger.
If the label is peeling off, do not put it in the
drive mechanism.
Do not leave tapes sitting where they are
exposed to heat or high humidity, such
as on top of the dashboard or in the
player.
If a tape is exposed to excessively hot or
cold, let it reach a moderate tempera-
ture before putting it in the player.
CAUTION:
o Do not clean the inner side of the rear
window glass with an abrasive type of
glass cleaner or use a scraper to
remove foreign deposits from the in-
ner surface of the glass as this may
cause damage to the antenna ele-
ments.
o Avoid adding metallic coatings to the
rear window glass, such as Ni, Cd, etc.
These can disturb receiving AM and
FM broadcast signals.

WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
C010A03A-AATEngine 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 trunk lid 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 of the windshield
are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.
