C710A01P-GAT (If installed) The rear heater can be operated with the ignition switch at the "ON" positionby depressing the main switch in the instrument panel.
C700A01P-GAT Operation Tips
o If the interior of the vehicle is hot
when you first get in, open the win- dows for a few minutes to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air condi- tioning system, keep all windowsclosed to keep hot air out.
o When you must drive slowly, as in heavy traffic, shift to a lower gear.This increases engine speed, which in turn increases the speed of theair conditioning compressor.
o When driving up long grades, turn
occasionally the air conditioner offto avoid the possibility of the engine overheating.
o During winter months or in periods when the air conditioner is not usedregularly, turn on the air conditioner switch occasionally for a few min-utes. This will help circulate the lubricants and keep your system in peak operating condition.
For dehumidified heating:
o Turn on the fan control switch.
o Turn on the air conditioner switch by
pushing in on the switch. The air conditioner indicator light should come on at the same time.
o Set the air intake control to the "Fresh".
o Set the air flow control to the "Face".
o Adjust the fan control to the desired
speed. For more rapid action, set the fan at one of the higher speeds.
o Adjust the temperature control to provide the desired amount ofwarmth.

C070E03A-GAT RECOMMENDED SHIFT POINTS The shift points as shown above are recommended for optimum fuel economy and performance.
Shift
from-to 1-2 2-3 3-44-5 Recommended
20 km/h (15 mph)40 km/h (25 mph) 55 km/h (35 mph) 75 km/h (45 mph)
NOTE:
o To shift into reverse, rest the le- ver in neutral for at least 3 sec- onds after your car is completelystopped. Then move the lever into the reverse position.
o During cold weather, shifting may be difficult until the transmis-sion lubricant has warmed up. This is normal and not harmful tothe transmission.
o If you've come to a complete stop
and it's hard to shift into 1st or"R", put the shift lever in "N" position and let up on the clutch. Press the clutch pedal back down,and then shift into 1st or "R" gear position.
o Do not use the shift lever as a handrest during driving, as thiscan result in premature wear of the transmission shift forks. CAUTION:
When downshifting from fifth gearto fourth gear, caution should be taken not to inadvertently press the gear lever sideways in such a man-ner that second gear is engaged. Such a drastic downshift may cause the engine speed to increase to thepoint that the tachometer will enter the red-zone. Such over-revving of the engine may possibly cause en-gine damage.
!
D050B01P-GAT Using the Clutch The clutch should be pressed all the way to the floor before shifting, then released slowly. Do not rest your footon the clutch pedal while driving. This can cause unnecessary wear. Do not partially engage the clutch tohold the vehicle on an incline. This causes unnecessary wear. Use the parking brake to hold thevehicle on an incline. Do not operate the clutch pedal rapidly and repeat- edly. C070D02O-AAT Good Driving Practices
o Never take the vehicle out of gear
and coast down a hill. This is ex- tremely hazardous. Always leavethe vehicle 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 dothis, engine braking will help slow the car.

D070E04P-GAT Good Driving Practices
o Never move the gear selector lever
from "P" or "N" to any other position with the accelerator pedal de- pressed.
o Never move the gear selector lever into "P" when the vehicle is in mo-tion.
o Be sure the vehicle is completely stopped before you attempt to shiftinto "R".
o Never take the vehicle out of gear and coast down a hill. This may beextremely hazardous. Always leave the vehicle in gear when moving.
o Do not "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 slowthe car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. Otherwise, the lower gear maynot be engaged.
D070D01P-GAT "HOLD" mode Select the "HOLD" mode when start- ing your vehicle on a road surfaceslippery from snow or the like, and the vehicle will start smoothly in second gear.When you need quick acceleration or engine braking power on a downhill grade, or when you are going to go upa long hill, press the "HOLD" switch once again to cancel the "HOLD" func- tion.
When "HOLD" button is depressed,"HOLD" indicator light in the instru-ment cluster will illuminate and auto- matic shifting will be performed in the range from 2nd gear to 3rd gear only,as shown in the table.

o Always use the parking brake. Do
not depend on placing the transmis- sion in "P" to keep the vehicle from moving.
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 engine speed can cause the drive wheels to lose traction andthe vehicle to go out of control.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the up-
grade with the accelerator pedal.This can cause the transmission to overheat. Always use the brake pedal or parking brake.
o Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothlydepressing and releasing the accel-erator pedal.
WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lane changes or fast, sharp turns.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD)
D090A01P-GAT (Minibus) (If installed) You can send your engine power to all front and rear wheels for maximumpower. 4WD is useful when you drive in snow, mud, ice, mountainous or sandy areas where good traction isrequired, or when your wheels lose traction using two-wheel drive. D090A01P
!
o Always wear your seat belts.
In a collision crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likelyto die than a person wearing a seatbelt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly in-
creased if you lose control of yourvehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the road-way and the driver oversteers to reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the roadway, do not steer sharply.Instead, slow down before pullingback into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed limits.
o If your vehicle becomes stuck in
snow, mud, sand, etc., then you may attempt to rock the vehicle free by moving it forward and back-ward. Do not attempt this proce- dure if people or objects are any- where near the vehicle. During therocking operation the vehicle may suddenly move forward of back- ward as it becomes unstuck, caus-ing injury or damage to nearby people or objects.

(4) If the vehicle is equipped with a
brake booster, the brake boosting force is lost after the brake pedal is depressed once or twice while the engine is off. If this occurs, thebrake will require greater force than usual. This is especially important whenthe vehicle is being towed. A film of water can form on thebrake discs or brake drums andprevent normal functioning after driving in heavy rain or through large puddles, or after the vehicle iswashed. If this occurs, repeatedly tap the brake pedal lightly while driving to dry out the brakes.
(6) It is important to take advantage of the braking power of the engine byshifting to a lower gear while drivingon steep downhill roads in order to prevent the brakes from overheat- ing.
(7) Periodically confirm that the brake warning lamp functions properly.
(8) With new brake linings, if possible, avoid applying the brakes fully dur- ing the first 200 km (124 miles) of driving.

(5) Check the brake system while driv- ing at a low speed immediately after starting, especially when the brakes are wet, to confirm that itworks normally. D120A01P-GAT PARKING BRAKE To park the vehicle, first bring it to a complete stop, fully engage the park-ing brake, and then set the gearshift lever at 1st or reverse. Move the trans- fer shift lever to any position.
o To apply, pull the lever up without
pushing the button at the end of hand grip.
o To release, pull the lever slightly,
push the button at the end of handgrip, and then push it downward. D120A01P

D110A01P-GAT GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES
WARNING:
Nothing should be carried on top of the cargo area cover behind the rear seat. If there were an accident or a sudden stop, such objectscould move forward and cause dam- age to the vehicle or injure the oc- cupants.
o After being parked, check to be sure the parking brake is not engagedand that the parking brake indicator light is out before driving away.
o Driving through water may get the brakes wet. They can also get wetwhen the vehicle is washed. Your vehicle may not stop as quickly if thebrakes are wet and it may also pull to one side. To dry the brakes, apply the brakes lightly until the brakingaction returns to normal, taking care to keep the vehicle under control at all times. If the braking action doesnot return to normal, stop as soon as it is safe to do so and call your Hyundai dealer for assistance. o Don’t coast down hills with the ve-
hicle out of gear. This may be ex-tremely hazardous. Keep the vehicle in gear at all times, use the brakes to slow down, thenshift to a lower gear so that engine braking will help you maintain a safe speed.
o Don’t "ride" the brake pedal. Rest- ing your foot on the brake pedalwhile driving can be dangerous be-cause it can result in the brakes overheating and losing their effec- tiveness. It also increases the wearof the brake components.
o If a tire goes flat while you are
driving, apply the brakes gently andkeep the vehicle pointed straight ahead while you slow down. When you are moving slowly enough for itto be safe to do so, pull off the road and stop in a safe place.
o If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission, don’t letyour vehicle creep forward. To avoid creeping forward, keepyour foot on the brake pedal when the vehicle is stopped.

o Keep your car in good condition. For better fuel economy and reduced maintenance costs, maintain your car in accordance with the mainte- nance schedule in Section 6. If youdrive your car in severe conditions, more frequent maintenance is re- quired (see Section 6 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum service, your Hyundai should bekept clean and free of corrosivematerials. It is especially important that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be al- lowed to accumulate on the under-side of the car. This extra weight can result in increased fuel con- sumption and also contribute to cor-rosion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unneces-
sary weight in your car. Weight re-duces fuel economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than
necessary. If you are waiting (andnot in traffic), turn off your engine and restart only when you're ready to go. o Remember, your Hyundai does not
require extended warm-up. As soonas the engine is running smoothly, you can drive away. In very cold weather, however, give your enginea slightly longer warm-up period.
o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine.
Lugging is driving too slowly in toohigh a gear resulting in the engine bucking. If this happens, shift to a lower gear. Over-revving is racingthe engine beyond its safe limit. This can be avoided by shifting at the recommended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air conditioning system is oper-ated by engine power so your fueleconomy is reduced when you use it.
o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal.
This can increase fuel consumption and also increase wear on these components. In addition, driving with your foot resting on the brake pedalmay cause the brakes to overheat, which reduces their effectiveness and may lead to more serious con-sequences.
o Take care of your tires. Keep them
inflated to the recommended pres-sure. Incorrect inflation, either too much or too little, results in unnec- essary tire wear. Check the tire pres-sures at least once a month.
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned
correctly. Improper alignment canresult from hitting curbs or driving too fast over irregular surfaces. Poor alignment causes faster tire wearand may also result in other prob- lems as well as greater fuel con- sumption.
