TO START THE ENGINEBEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
C020A01O-GAT Before you start the engine, you should always:
1. Look around the vehicle to be sure
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.
4. Check that the interior and exterior
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.

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 To start the engine, insert the igni- tion key and turn it to the "START"position. Release it as soon as the engine starts. Do not hold the key inthe "START" position for more than 15 seconds.
NOTE: For safety, the engine will not start if the shift lever is not in "P" or "N" Position (Automatic Transaxle).
WARNING (DIESEL ENGINE):
To ensure that sufficient vacuum exists within the brake system dur- ing cold weather start-up condi-tions, it is necessary to run the engine at idle for several seconds after starting the engine.
9. When you turn the ignition switch to
"ON", check that all appropriatewarning lights are operating and that you have sufficient fuel.
10.Check the operation of warning lights and all bulbs when key is inthe "ON" position.

C090A02E-1
C090Q01E-GAT (1.8 / 2.0 DOHC) The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transaxle has four forward speeds and one reverse speed. It has a conven- tional shift pattern as shown in theillustration. At night, with the multi- function switch turned on to the park- ing light or headlight position, the ap-propriate symbol on the shift pattern indicator will be illuminated according to the range selected. CAUTION:
Never shift into "R" or "P" position while the vehicle is moving. NOTE: Depress the brake pedal andpush the button when shifting.
Push the button when shifting. The selector lever can be shifted
freely.
The first few shifts on a new vehicle, orif the battery has been disconnected and reinstalled, may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal condition, andthe shifting sequence will adjust after

14ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
!
C120A02A-AAT (If installed) The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed to prevent wheel lock-upduring sudden braking or on hazard- ous road surfaces. The ABS control module monitors the wheel speed andcontrols the pressure applied to each brake. Thus, in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABS will increasevehicle control during braking. NOTE: During ABS operation, a slight pul- sation may be felt in the brake pedal when the brakes are applied. Also, a noise may be heard in the enginecompartment while braking. These conditions are normal and indicate that the anti-lock brake system isfunctioning properly. WARNING:
ABS will not prevent accidents dueto improper or dangerous drivingmaneuvers. Even though vehicle control is improved during emer- gency braking, always maintain asafe distance between you and ob- jects ahead. Vehicle speeds should always be reduced during extremeroad conditions. The braking distance for cars equipped with an anti-lock braking system may be longer than for those without it in the following road con-ditions. During these conditions, the ve-hicle should be driven at reducedspeeds:
o On rough, gravel or snow-cov-
ered roads.
o With tire chains installed.
o On roads where the road surface
is pitted or has different surface height.
The safety features of an ABSequipped vehicle should not be tested by high speed driving orcornering. This could endanger the safety of yourself or others.

15TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS)
!
Driving hints TCS does not actively apply brakes. Be sure to decelerate the car suffi-ciently before entering curves.
C300A02Y-GAT (If installed)
C300A02E
!
On slippery road surfaces, the traction control system (TCS) limits the drive wheels from spinning excessively, thus helping the car to accelerate. It alsoprovides sufficient driving force and steering performance as the car turns at accelerated speeds. SLIP Control Limits the drive wheels from spinning excessively during starting or while making accelerated turns on slippery roads to avoid losing the driving forceof the front wheels. CAUTION:
When the TCS indicator blinks, SLIPcontrol has been activated. It alsomeans that the road is slippery or your car is accelerating excessively. In this situation, gently release footpressure from the accelerator pedal and maintain moderate speed.
WARNING:
Traction control is only a drivingaid; all normal precautions for driv- ing in inclement weather and onslippery driving surfaces should be observed. C310B01O-AAT TCS ON/OFF Mode When the TCS is running, the TCS indicator in the instrument cluster willblink. If you turn the system off by pressing the TCS switch, the TCS-OFF indica-tor will come on and stay on. In the TCS-OFF mode, the SLIP control will be deactivated. Adjust you driving ac-cordingly. To turn the system back on, press the switch again. The TCS-OFF indicator should go off. NOTE:
1) The TCS mode will automatically
be turned "ON" after the engine is turned off and restarted.
2) When the traction control sys-
tem is operating properly, youcan feel a slight pulsation in the vehicle. This is only the effect of brake control and indicates noth-ing unusual.
3) When the engine starts, a click is
heard from the engine compart-ment; however, this is only the sound of traction control being checked.

If the indicator remains lit even after the engine has been started, haveyour car checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer. NOTE:
1) When the TCS-OFF indicator il-luminates, traction control is au- tomatically deactivated for safety.
2) This warning function is not pro- vided when the driver selects theTCS-OFF mode.
4) When moving out of the mud or
fresh snow, pressing the accel- erator pedal may not cause the engine speed to increase due to TCS operation.
C310D01O-AAT Indicators and Warning The TCS indicators should illuminate when the ignition key is turned to "ON"or "START" but should go out after three seconds. If the indicators do not illuminate, orthe TCS or TCS-OFF indicator does not go out after 3 seconds, have it checked by an authorized dealer. Should there be any unusual condi- tions in the device while driving, TCS-OFF indicator illuminates as a warn- ing. If TCS-OFF indicator illuminates, pullyour car to a safe place and stop the engine. Then, start the engine again to checkif the TCS-OFF indicator goes out.

C130A01A-AAT Good braking practices WARNING:
Nothing should be carried on top of the shelf panel behind the rear seat.If there were an accident or a sud- den stop, such objects could move forward and cause damage to thevehicle or injure the occupants.
o After being parked, check to be sure the parking brake is not engaged and that the parking brake indicatorlight is out before driving away.
o Driving through water may get the
brakes wet. They can also get wetwhen the car is washed. Wet brakes can be dangerous! Your car will not stop as quickly if the brakes are wet.Wet brakes may cause the car to pull to one side. To dry the brakes, apply the brakes lightly until thebraking action returns to normal, taking care to keep the car under control at all times. If the brakingaction does not return to normal, stop as soon as it is safe to do so and call your Hyundai dealer forassistance.
