8MANUAL TRANSAXLE
SC090A04-E
HFC3029
The five speed fully synchronized transaxle is controlled by a floor mounted shift lever upon which the shift patternis indicated. It is important that when changing gear, the clutch pedal is fully depressed to avoid transaxle damage.
! CAUTION:
o Do not attempt to engage reverse gear when the car is in motion.
o To avoid damaging the selector mechanism, do not use the gear shift lever as a hand rest. Release the lever immediately the shift iscompleted.
o To avoid premature clutch wear,
do not use the clutch pedal as afoot rest, and do not hold the vehicle on a gradient using the clutch.
o Ensure that the engine is not over- revved by upshifting before thetachometer needle enters the redzone.
o Do not coast with the shift lever at
the neutral position.
o When descending long gradients, make use of the engine braking toassist the footbrake to avoid brakefade or over-heating. o When slippery conditions are en-
countered, increased cautionshould be exercised when gear changing, braking or accelerat- ing. Abrupt changes in speed maycause a loss of traction or control of the vehicle.
o During cold weather, shifting may be difficult until the transaxle lu-bricant has warmed up. This is normal and not harmful to thetransaxle.
o If you 've come to a complete stop
and it's hard to shift into 1 st
or
R(Reverse), put the shift lever in N(Neutral) position and release the clutch. Press the clutch pedal backdown, and then shift into 1 st
or
R(Reverse) gear position.
o Do not use the shift lever as a handrest during driving, as this can result in premature wear of the transaxle shift forks.

YC200E2-E Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check towbar ball andsafety cable connections as well as proper operation of the trailer running lights, brake lights, and turn signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a mod- erate speed (Less than 60 MPH)
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel
than normal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking effi- ciency and electrical charging per- formance, do not use fifth gear(manual transaxle) or overdrive (au- tomatic transaxle).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift whilst driving.
6. Check the condition and air pres-
sure of all tyres on the trailer and your vehicle. Low tyre pressure can seriously affect the handling. Also check the spare tyre. 7. The vehicle/trailer combination is
more affected by crosswind andbuffeting. When being passed by a large ve- hicle, keep a constant speed andsteer straight ahead. If there is too much wind buffeting slow down to get out of the other vehicle's airturbulence.
8. When parking your vehicle and
trailer, especially on a hill, be sure tofollow all the normal precautions. Turn your front wheels into the curb, set the parking brake firmly, and putthe transaxle in 1st or Reverse (manual) or Park (automatic). In ad- dition, place wheel chocks at eachof the trailer's tyres.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes,
start your vehicle and trailer mov-ing, and then apply the trailer brake controller by hand to be sure the brakes are working. This lets youcheck your electrical connection at the same time. 10. During your trip, check occasionally
to be sure that the load is secure, and that the lights and any trailer brakes are still working.
11. Avoid jerky starts, sudden acceler-
ation or sudden stops.
12. Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane
changes.
13. Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat, re-sulting in reduced braking efficien- cy.
14. When going down a hill, shift into a
lower gear and use the engine brak-ing effect. When ascending a long grade, down-shift the transaxle to a lower gear and reduce speed to reduce chances of engine overloading and/or over-heating.

15. If you have to stop whilst going uphill, do not hold the vehicle in place by pressing on the accelera- tor. This can cause the automatic transaxle to overheat. Use the park-ing brake or footbrake.
NOTE: When towing check transaxle fluid more frequently.
! CAUTION:
If overheating should occur when towing, (temperature gauge readsnear the red zone), taking the follow- ing actions may reduce or eliminate the problem.
1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Reduce highway speed.
3. Select a lower gear when going uphill.
4. Whilst in stop and go traffic, place the gear selection in park or neu- tral and idle the engine at a higher speed.

3 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
4IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
SD040A2-E If the temperature gauge indicates over- heating:
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 from underthe bonnet stop the engine. Do not open the bonnet until the coolant has stopped running or the steaming hasstopped. If there is no visible loss of coolant and no steam, leave the engine running and check to be surethe 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 broken,check to see that it is tight.If the drive belt seems to be satisfac- tory, 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).
4. Connect the red jump cable to the
positive (+) terminal of the boosterbattery and the other end to the positive (+) terminal of the discharged battery.
5. Attach the black jump cable to the negative (-) terminal of the boosterbattery, and the other end to a groundpoint within the engine compartment of the vehicle with the flat battery. Do not connect to the negative batteryterminal of the flat battery since sparks 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 flatbattery.
7. Switch "ON" the main beam
headlamps before carefully remov-ing the jumper cables in the reverse order of attachment. Once the jumper cables have been removed, switch"OFF" the main beam headlamps. CAUTION:
If the jump cables are incorrectlyinstalled, damage to the vehicle elec- trical system may occur, in particu- lar the electronic components suchas the Fuel Injection system com- puter and the Automatic Transaxle computer. The battery must never bedisconnected 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 theengine immediately and call the near- est Hyundai authorised repairer for assistance.
WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30 seconds after shutting off engine. High pres-sure pump, rail, injectors and high pressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the enginestopped. The fuel jet produced by fuel leaks may cause serious injury, if it touch the body. People usingpacemakers should ensure that they keep a distance of 30cm from the ECU or wiring harness within theengine room whilst engine is run- ning, since the high currents in the Common Rail system produce con-siderable magnetic fields.!
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 remove the radiator cap and add water to bring the fluid level in the reservoir up to the base of the radia-tor fill opening. Fill the coolant ex- pansion tank to the halfway mark.
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 indicatesthere is a leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundai authorisedrepairer.

ENGINE COOLANT CHECK- ING AND REPLACING
SG050B1-E Coolant recommended G050B01FC
SG050A1-E
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot, since the system is pressurised and coolant may be ejected from the radiator resultingin scalding.
G050B02FC
Petrol engine Diesel engine
Only ethylene glycol based coolantwith a corrosion inhibitor suited to alu- minium alloy engine components should be used in the cooling system. No further additives or inhibitors should be used. The coolant specific gravityshould be checked as prescribed in the maintenance schedule to ensure adequate frost and corrosion protec-tion. In addition, the engine coolant must be replaced at the specified in- terval since the corrosion inhibitor prop-erties deteriorate with time. It is important to note that whilst an
increase in the concentration of antifreeze gives an increase in the level of frost protection, a solution which is in excess of 65% anti freeze will result inreduced frost protection and engine overheating. Therefore the recom- mended concentration of 50% shouldnot be exceeded for general use. The use of methanol based anti freeze
compounds may result in engine over-heating and will invalidate the vehicle warranty.
NOTE: It is imperative that vehicles fitted
with an air conditioning system have a coolant concentration of the rec-ommended strength at all times. The use of the air conditioning sys- tem when the cooling system isfilled with water only will result in the heater matrix freezing and sub- sequently bursting.
