3RUNNING IN YOUR NEW HYUNDAI
B020A01S-EAT The longevity and performance of the vehicle are greatly affected by the care exercised during the first 1,000 miles of motoring. Because of modern manu-facturing techniques, rigid guidelines regarding maximum road speeds have become unnecessary. However, cer-tain precautions should be observed in order to obtain the best possible per- formance and useful life from the ve-hicle.
1) Do not race the engine without a
load (i.e revving the engine in neu- tral).
2) During the first 500 miles the maxi- mum engine speed should be re-stricted to 3,000 rpm and gradually increased thereafter.
3) Avoid prolonged constant speed operation. The internal componentsof the engine will become morequickly run in if the operation speed is varied during the running in pe- riod.
4) Never allow the engine to labour. Use the gearbox freely and avoidlarge throttle openings when theengine speed is below 1,500 rpm.BEFORE ENTERING THE VEHICLEAFTER ENTERING THE VEHICLE

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
SB210S1-E BRAKE PAD WEAR INDICATOR The front brake disc pads are fitted with an audible wear indicator whichwill cause a high pitched noise to be emitted when the remaining amount of friction lining is below the specifiedvalue. When the wear indicator is heard, the brake pads should be replaced without delay to avoid damage occur-ring to the brake discs and a severe reduction in braking efficiency. SB215A2-E FUEL GAUGE The fuel gauge indicates the quantity of fuel remaining in the fuel tank. NOTE:
o The fuel gauge is not intended to
give other than an approximate indication of the fuel level and isunsuitable for the purposes of cal- culating fuel consumption figures.
o The "
" symbol means the fuel
filler flap is placed on the left side of the vehicle. B290A02A-EAT COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. The engine cool- ant is under pressure and could erupt and cause severe burns. Waituntil the engine is cool before re- moving the radiator cap.

The needle on the engine coolant tem- perature gauge should stay in the nor-mal range. If it moves across the dial to "H" (HOT), pull over and stop as soon as possible and turn off the engine.Then open the bonnet and check the coolant level and the water pump drive belt. If you suspect cooling systemtrouble, have your cooling system checked by Hyundai authorised repairer as soon as possible.
B300A01Y-EAT SPEEDOMETER Your Hyundai's speedometer is cali- brated in miles per hour and kilometers per hour. B330A03A-AAT TACHOMETER The tachometer registers the speed of your engine in revolutions per minute (rpm).
CAUTION:
The engine should not be raced tosuch a speed that the needle entersthe red zone on the tachometer face. This can cause severe engine dam- age and may void your warranty.

ZC170E1-E Windscreen Washers & Wipers The windscreen washer bottle should be filled with a solution of water and aproprietary winter screen wash addi- tive. The windscreen wipers should not be used if the blades are frozen to thewindscreen or if they are covered with snow, before this is removed. NOTE: Never allow undiluted screen washer fluid additive to spill upon the paintwork or use engine coolant anti-freeze since damage to the paintwork may result.
o When driving in extreme conditions,the windscreen wiper blades may fail to clear the screen properly due tothe formation of ice upon the blade edge. It will therefore be necessary to periodically remove such ice torestore their efficiency.
o If the power operated door mirrors
become frozen, attempts to adjustthese may damage the mechanism. o The formation of snow or ice build up
inside the wheel arches may inter-fere with the roadwheels or steering mechanism. In such instances, un- usual noises or an increase in steer-ing effort may result. Therefore, en- sure that the wheelarches are checked periodically and any accu-mulated snow or ice removed.
o It is advisable to carry emergency
equipment including, torch, shovel,tow rope, blankets etc., if a journey is to be undertaken into areas of severe road conditions.TRAILER OR VEHICLE TOWING
YC200A2-E If you are considering towing with your car, you should first check with your Local Laws to determine their legal requirements.Since laws vary from county to county, the requirements for towing trailers, cars, or other types of vehicles or appa-ratus may differ. Ask your Hyundai authorised repairer for further details before towing.
CAUTION:
Do not carry out any towing withyour car during it's first 1000 miles inorder to allow both the engine to have properly run-in and the clutch (manual transaxle) to have correctlybedded-in. Failure to heed this cau- tion may result in serious engine or transaxle damage.

YC200C4-E Trailer Brakes If your trailer is equipped with a braking system, make sure it conforms to localregulations and that it is properly in- stalled and operating correctly. NOTE: If you tow a trailer or vehicle, your car will require more frequent main- tenance due to the additional load.See Maintenance Under Severe Us- age Conditions" on page 5-7.
YC200B2-E Trailer Towbars Select the proper towbar and ball com- bination, making sure that its location is compatible with that of the trailer or vehicle being towed.Use a quality non-equalizing towbar which distributes the nose weight uni- formly throughout the chassis. The towbar should be bolted securely to the car and installed by a qualifiedtechnician.
CAUTION:
o Never connect a trailer brake sys- tem directly to the vehicle brakesystem.
o When towing a trailer on steep grades (in excess of 6%) pay closeattention to the engine coolanttemperature gauge to ensure the engine does not overheat. If the needle of the coolant temperaturegauge moves across the dial to- wards "H" (HOT), pull over and stop as soon as it is safe to do so,and allow the engine to idle until it cools down. You may proceed once the engine has cooled suffi-ciently.

7. Switch "ON" the main beam
headlamps before carefully remov- ing the jumper cables have been removed, switch "OFF" the main beam headlamps. SD040A2-E If the temperature gauge indicates overheating:
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 transaxle) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the car or steam is coming out fromunder the bonnet stop the engine. Do not open the bonnet until thecoolant has stopped running or the steaming has stopped. If there is no visible loss of coolant and no steam,leave the engine running and check to be sure the engine cooling fan is operating.If the fan is not running, turn the engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is broken. If it is not missing,check to see that it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be satisfactory,check for coolant leaking from the radiator, hoses or under the car. (If the air conditioning had been in use,it is normal for cold water to be draining from it).
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
1. Ensure that the booster battery is 12 volt type. If the booster battery is installed in another vehicle, ensure that the two vehicles are not touch- ing.
2. Turn off all unnecessary electrical equipment in both vehicles.
3. Ensure that the engine of the ve- hicle providing the jump start is run- ning prior to connection of the jump cables.
4. Connect the red jump cable to the positive (+) terminal of the boosterbattery and the other end to thepositive (+) terminal of the dis- charged battery.
5. Attach the black jump cable to the negative (-) terminal of the boosterbattery, and the other end to a ground point within the engine compartmentof the vehicle with the flat battery. Do not connect to the negative battery terminal of the flat battery sincesparks may be generated with the subsequent risk of explosion.
6. Raise the booster vehicle engine speed to 2,000 r.p.m. and start theengine of the vehicle with the flat battery. CAUTION:
If the jump cables are incorrectlyinstalled, damage to the vehicle elec-trical system may occur, in particu- lar the electronic components such as the Fuel Injection system com- puter and the Automatic Transaxle computer. The battery must neverbe disconnected whilst the engine is running.

!WARNING:
Whilst the engine is running, keep hands and clothing away from mov- ing parts such as the fan and drive belts to prevent injury.
5. If the water pump drive belt is broken or coolant is leaking out, stop the engine immediately and call the near- est Hyundai authorised repairer forassistance.
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot since steam and boiling water may be ejected fromthe radiator resulting in burns or scalding.
!
6. If the cause of the overheating can- not be found, wait until the engine temperature has returned to normal. Then, if coolant has been lost, care- fully add coolant to the reservoir(page 6-10) to bring the fluid level in the reservoir up to the base of the radiator fill opening. Fill the coolantexpansion tank to the halfway mark. To ensure the correct water to cool- ant mix is obtained after top up,testing by an authorised repairer is required.
7. Proceed with caution until it is estab- lished that the engine is operatingnormally. If the engine overheats repeatedly, the advice of a Hyundaiauthorised repairer should be sought.
CAUTION:
Serious loss of coolant indicates there is a leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soonas possible by a Hyundai authorised repairer.D040A01GK-EAT The following instructions for the tem- porary spare tyre should be observed:
1. Check inflation pressure as soon as practical after installing the spare tyre, and adjust to the specified pressure. The tyre pressure shouldbe periodically checked and main- tained at the specified pressure whilst the tyre is stored.
TEMPORARY SPARE TYRE
Tyre Size
Inflation Pressure T125/70 R16
420 kPa (60 psi)

6ZF060F2-A
o Crankcase ventilation hoses
Inspect the surface of hoses for evi- dence of heat and/or mechanical dam- age. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and excessiveswelling indicate deterioration. Particu- lar attention should be paid to examin- ing those hose surfaces nearest tohigh heat sources, such as the ex- haust manifold. Inspect the hose routing to assure that the hoses do not come in contact with any heat source, sharp edges or mov-ing component which might cause heat damage or mechanical wear. Inspect all hose connections, such as clampsand couplings, to make sure they are secure, and that no leaks are present. Hoses should be replaced immedi-ately if there is any evidence of dete- rioration or damage. 6ZF060H1-A
