ANTENNAB870C01A-GATMANUAL ANTENNA (If installed)Your car uses a manual stainless steel antenna
to receive both AM and FM broadcast signals.
Pull up the antenna using your fingers, as shown
in the drawing.
CAUTION:
Before entering an automatic car wash or a
place with a low height clearance such as a
residential or commercial garage, be sure
that the antenna is fully retracted.
!
B870C01O
NOTE:Look at a tape before you insert it. If the tape
is loose, tighten it by turning one of the
hubs with a pencil or your finger. If the label
is peeling off, do not put it in the drive
mechanism.
Do not leave tapes sitting where they are
exposed to hot, warm, or high humidity,
such as on top of the dashboard or in the
player. If a tape is excessively hot or cold, let
it reach a moderate temperature before
putting it in the player.
B860A03L
B885A02O-AATMICRO ANTENNA (If installed)Your car uses the micro antenna to receive both
AM and FM broadcast signals.
This antenna is folding and removable type.
CAUTION:
1. Be sure to fold the micro antenna before
entering a garage with a low height or
installing a car cover. In some vehicles,
the antenna can be folded into only front

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

C190F02O-AATTrailer or Vehicle Towing Tips1. Before towing, check hitch and safety chain
connections as well as proper operation of
the trailer running lights, brake lights, and
turn signals.
2. Trailer towing requires more fuel than normal
conditions.
3. To maintain engine braking efficiency, do not
tow a trailer with the transaxle engaged in
overdrive gear.
4. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent
load shift while driving.
5. Check the condition and air pressure of all
tires on the trailer and your car. Low tire
pressure can seriously affect the handling.
Also check the spare tire.
6. The vehicle/trailer combination is more af-
fected by crosswind and buffeting.
When being passed by a large vehicle, keep
a constant speed and steer straight ahead.
If there is too much wind buffeting, slow down
to get out of the other vehicle's air turbulence.
7. When parking your car and trailer, especially
on a hill, be sure to follow all the normal
precautions. Turn your front wheel into the
curb, set the parking brake firmly, and put the
transaxle in Park. In addition, place wheel
chocks at each of the trailer's tires.8. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your
vehicle and trailer moving, and then apply the
trailer brake controller by hand to be sure the
brakes are working. This lets you check
your electrical connection at the same time.
9. During your trip, check occasionally to be
sure that the load is secure, and that the
lights and any trailer brakes are still working.
10.Avoid jerky starts, sudden acceleration or
sudden stops.
11.Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.
12.Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long
or too frequently. This could cause the brakes
to overheat, resulting in reduced braking
efficiency.
13.When going down a hill, shift into a lower gear
and use the engine braking effect.
When ascending a long grade, downshift the
transaxle to a lower gear and reduce speed
to reduce chances of engine overloading
and/or overheating.
14.If you have to stop while going uphill, do not
hold the vehicle in place by pressing on the
accelerator. This can cause the automatic
transaxle to overheat. Use the parking brake
or footbrake.
15.If the transaxle shifts frequently while going
up a hill, shift down one gear.
NOTE:When towing, check transaxle fluid more
frequently.
CAUTION:
If overheating should occur when towing,
(the temperature gauge reads near red zone),
taking the following action 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. While in stop and go traffic, place the
gear selector in park or neutral and idle
the engine at a higher speed.

REPLACEMENT OF LIGHT BULBS!
G260A03A-AATBefore attempting to replace a light bulb, be sure
the switch is turned to the "OFF" position.
The next paragraph shows how to reach the
light bulbs so they may be changed. Be sure to
replace the burned-out bulb with one of the
same number and wattage rating.
See page 6-32 for the wattage description.NOTE:After heavy, driving rain or washing, head-
light and taillight lenses could appear frosty.
This condition is caused by the tempera-
ture difference between the lamp inside
and outside. This is similar to the conden-
sation on your windows inside your vehicle
during the rain and doesn’t indicate a prob-
lem with your vehicle. If the water leaks into
the lamp bulb circuitry, have the vehicle
checked by an Authorized Hyundai Dealer.
CAUTION:
Keep the lamps out of contact with petro-
leum products, such as oil, gasoline, etc.
