HFC240-1
With the "Fresh" mode selected, air enters the vehicle from the outside andis heated or cooled according to the function selected. With the "Recirculation" mode selected, and air from within the passenger com- partment will be drawn through the heat-ing system and heated or cooled ac- cording to the function selected. NOTE:
o It should be noted that prolonged
operation of the heating system in "recirculation" mode will give rise to fogging of the windscreen andside windows and the air within the passenger compartment will become stale. In addition, pro-longed use of the air conditioning with the "Recirculation" mode se- lected may result in the air withinthe passenger compartment be- coming excessively dry. o When the ignition switch is turned
"ON" the air intake control will change to " " mode (regardless of switch position). This is normal operation. The air intake controloperates in "AUTO" mode when turning the ignition to the ON po- sition if the "AUTO" mode wasused before shutting off the en- gine.

!
The pollen filter is located in front of the blower unit behind the glove box. It operates to decrease pollutants en- tering the car and to filter the air.To replace the pollen filter, refer to page 6-26. CAUTION:
o Replace the filter every 10,000 miles or once a year. If the car is being driven in severe conditionssuch as dusty, rough roads, more frequent air filter inspections and changes are required.
o When the air flow rate is suddenly decreased, it must be checked atan Hyundai authorised repairer.

B750A02A-AAT How Car Audio Works AM and FM radio signals are broadcast from transmitter towers located around your city. They are intercepted by theradio antenna on your car. This signal is then received by the radio and sent to your car speakers.When a strong radio signal has reached your vehicle, the precise engineering of your audio system ensures high qualityreproduction. However, in some cases the signal coming to your vehicle is not strong and clear. This can be dueto factors such as the distance from the radio station, closeness of other strong radio stations or the presence of build-ings, bridges and other large obstruc- tions in the area.STEREO SOUND SYSTEM

WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust gases are potentially lethal. If at any time engine exhaust gas is detected within the passenger compartment, move the vehicle to an open area and open all windows. o Never inhale exhaust gas Exhaust gases contain Carbon Monoxide which is colourless and odourless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous andcan cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation. o Exhaust System Maintenance Ensure that the exhaust system is maintained in good condition and is free from excessive corrosion and damage which may result in leakage. If the vehicle is driven over an object which strikes the exhaust system, ensure that the exhaust system is inspected at the first available opportunity to ensure that no leakage exists. o Confined Areas Do not run the engine in confined spaces, allowing the engine to idle in a garage, even when the doors are open is dangerous practice. Only start the engine immediately prior to moving the vehicle out of the garage. o Prolonged Idling If it is necessary to allow the vehicle to idle for prolonged periods, ensure that the heating system air intake controlis set to the "Fresh" position, the blower is set to high speed operation and that the vehicle is standing in an open area. o Load Carrying If it is necessary to carry long objects which do not permit the boot lid to be fully closed, the side windows must remain closed and the heating air intake control set to the "Fresh" position with the blower running at the highest speed setting. To ensure correct operation of the heater system, the air intake grilles at the base of the windscreen must not be obstructed by snow leaves etc..

C055B01B-GAT STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE FOR TURBOCHARGER INTERCOOLER(DIESEL ENGINE)
(1) Do not race the engine or suddenly
accelerate the engine immediately after starting it. If the engine is cold,allow the engine to idle for several seconds before it is driven to ensure sufficient lubrication of the turbocharger unit.
(2) After high speed or extended driv-
ing, requiring a heavy engine load,the engine should be allowed to idle about 1 minute before turning it off. This idle time will allow the turbocharger to cool prior to shutting the engine off.
WARNING:
Do not turn the engine off immedi- ately after it has been subjected to a heavy load. Doing so may cause severe damage to the engine or turbocharger unit. SC060B1-E FUEL ECONOMY The following suggestions are made to assist in achieving the greatest degreeof fuel economy.
o Maintaining a constant check on fuel
consumption will enable the most economical use pattern and driving style to be adopted.
o Avoid using the vehicle for very short journeys if possible, particularly whena cold start is involved.
o Ensure that tyre pressures are main- tained at the correct level.
o Use only the recommended grade of fuel.
o Avoid carrying unnecessary weight,
and if a roof rack is in use, remove itas soon as possible after use.
o Anticipate the road and conditions
ahead to enable adjustments in speedto be made smoothly. Avoid heavy acceleration and sharp braking.
o Avoid cruising at unnecessary high speeds. o Always ensure that the periodic main-
tenance services are performed by a Hyundai authorised repairer at the time and/or mileage intervals speci- fied.
o Use the air conditioning only when necessary.

CAUTION:
When the TCS indicator blinks, SLIP control has been activated. It also means that the road is slippery or your car is accelerating excessively. In this situation, release foot pres- sure from the accelerator pedal and maintain moderate speed.!
WARNING:
Traction control is only a driving aid; all normal precautions for driving in inclement weather and on slipperydriving surfaces should be observed. C300B01O-GAT TCS ON Mode In the TCS ON mode, the indicator in the instrument cluster will not be illumi-nated. NOTE:
1) Turn off the engine. Then restart
the engine, and the TCS mode will automatically turn "ON".
2) When the traction control is oper-
ating properly, you can feel a slightpulsation in the vehicle. This is only the effect of brake control and indicates nothing unusual.
3) When the engine starts, a click is heard from the engine compart-ment; however, this is only thesound of traction control being checked.
4) When moving out of the mud or fresh snow, pressing the accelera-tor pedal may not cause the en- gine speed to increase. C300D02O-GAT Indicator and Warning The indicator should illuminate when
the ignition key is turned to "ON" or "START",but should go out after three seconds. If the indicator does not illuminate, have it checked by an Hyundai authorisedrepairer. Should there be any unusual conditions in the device, TCS illuminates as a warning. If TCS illuminates, pull your car to asafe place and stop the engine. Then, start the engine again to check if the TCS indicator goes out.If the indicator remains lit even after the engine has been started, have your car checked by an Hyundai authorised re-pairer. NOTE: When TCS illuminates, traction con- trol is automatically deactivated forsafety.
