there are no flat tires, puddles of oil, water or other indications of pos- sible trouble.
2. After entering the car, check to be sure the parking brake is engaged.
3. Check that all windows and lights are clean.

mirrors are clean and in position.
5. Check your seat, seatback and headrest to be sure they are in theirproper positions.
6. Lock all the doors.
7. Fasten your seat belt and be sure
that all other occupants have fas- tened theirs.
8. Turn off all lights and accessories
that are not needed. C030A01A-GAT COMBINATION IGNITION SWITCH Before starting the engine:
o If your Hyundai is equipped with a
manual transaxle, place the shift lever in neutral and depress the clutch pedal fully.
o If your Hyundai has an automatic transaxle, place the shift lever in "P"(park).

o Slow down before shifting to a lowergear. This will help avoid over-rev- ving the engine, which can cause damage.
o Slow down when you encounter
cross winds. This gives you muchbetter control of your car.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped before you attempt to shift into re-verse. The transaxle can be dam- aged if you do not. To shift intoreverse, depress the clutch, move the shift lever to neutral, wait three seconds, then shift to the reverseposition.
o Exercise extreme caution when driv-
ing on a slippery surface. Be espe-cially careful when braking, acceler- ating or shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an abrupt change in ve-hicle speed can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the ve- hicle to go out of control.
C070D02O-AAT Good Driving Practices
o Never take the car out of gear and
coast down a hill. This is extremely hazardous. Always leave the car in gear.
o Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and mal-function. Instead, when you are driv-ing down a long hill, slow down and shift to a lower gear. When you do this, engine braking will help slow thecar.
C070E03A-GAT RECOMMENDED SHIFT POINTS The shift points as shown above are recommended for optimum fueleconomy and performance.
C070B02A-AAT Using the Clutch The clutch should be pressed all the way to the floor before shifting, thenreleased slowly. The clutch pedal should always be used after fully re- leased while driving. Do not rest yourfoot on the clutch pedal while driving. This can cause unnecessary wear. Do not partially engage the clutch to holdthe car on an incline. This causes unnecessary wear. Use the parking brake to hold the car on an incline. Donot operate the clutch pedal rapidly and repeatedly.
