o Automotive fuels are flammable/ explosive materials. When refuel- ing, please note the followingguidelines carefully. Failure to follow these guidelines may re- sult in severe personal injury, se-vere burns or death by fire or explosion.
- Before refueling always note the
location of the Emergency Fuel Shut-Off, if available, at the fuel station facility.
- Before touching the fuel nozzle or fuel filler cap, you shouldeliminate potentially dangerousstatic electricity discharge by touching another metal part of the front of the vehicle, a safedistance away from the fuel filler neck, nozzle, or other fuel source.
- Do not get back into a vehicle once you have begun refueling.Do not touch, rub or slide againstany item or fabric (polyester, satin, nylon, etc.) capable of pro- ducing static electricity. Staticelectricity discharge can ignite fuel vapors resulting in explo sion.If you must re-enter the vehicle, you should once again elimi-nate potentially dangerous static electricity discharge by touch- ing a metal part of the vehicle,away from the fuel filler neck, nozzle or other fuel source.
- When using a portable fuel con- tainer be sure to place the con-tainer on the ground prior to refueling. Static electricity dis-charge from the container can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire. Once refueling has begun, con-tact with the vehicle should be maintained until the filling is complete. Use only portable fuelcontainers designed to carry and store fuel.
- Do not use cellular phones
around a fuel station or whilstrefueling any vehicle. Electric current and/or electronic inter-ference from cellular phones can potentially ignite fuel vapors causing a fire. If you must useyour cellular phone use it in a place away from the fuel station.
- When refueling always shut theengine off. Sparks produced by electrical components related to the engine can ignite fuel va- pors causing a fire. Always in-sure that the engine is OFF be- fore and during refueling. Once refueling is complete, check tomake sure the fuel filler cap and door are securely closed, before starting the engine.
- Do not light any fire around a fuel station. DO NOT use matchesor a lighter and DO NOT SMOKEor leave a lit cigarette in your vehicle whilst at a gas station especially during refueling.Automotive fuel is highly flam- mable and can, when ignited, result in explosion by flames.
- If a fire breaks out during refuel- ing, leave the vicinity of the ve-hicle, and immediately contactthe manager of the fuel station or contact the police and local fire department. Follow anysafety instructions they provide.

!WARNING:
Your vehicle is equipped with tyres designed to provide for safe ride and handling capability.Do not use a size and type of tyre and wheel that is different from the one that was originally installed on yourvehicle. It can affect the safety and performance of your vehicle, which could lead to handling failure orrollover and serious injury. When replacing the tyres, be sure to equip all four tyres with the tyre andwheel of the same size, type, tread, brand and load-carrying capacity. If you nevertheless decide to equipyour vehicle with any tyre/wheel com- bination not recommended by Hyundai for off-road driving, youshould not use these tyres for high- way driving.
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
C020A02A-EAT Before you start the engine, you should always:
1. Look around the vehicle to be sure
there are no flat tyres, puddles of oil or 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. Close all the doors.
7. Fasten your seat belt and be sure that all other occupants have fas-tened theirs.
8. Turn off all lights and accessories that are not needed.
9. When you turn the ignition switch to "ON" check that all appropriate warning 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. WARNING:
Always wear appropriate shoes when operating your vehicle. Unsuitable shoes (high heels, skiboots, etc.) may interfere with your ability to use the brake and accelera- tor pedal, and the clutch (Not allmodels).

NOTE: If the engine has not been started within 2 seconds after the preheating is completed, turn the ignition keyonce more to the "LOCK" position during 10 seconds, and then to the "ON" position, in order to preheatagain.
WARNING:
Be sure that the clutch is fully de-pressed when starting a manualtransaxle vehicle. This will prevent sudden movement occuring should the vehicle be started in gear withoutthe clutch depressed. Otherwise there is the potential to cause damage to the vehicle or injury to a personinside or outside of the vehicle as a result of this sudden vehicle move- ment.
5. Turn the ignition key to the "START" position and release it when the en- gine starts.

C055B02HP-EAT 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 driving or prolonged
engine loading, the engine shouldbe allowed to idle, as shown in the following chart, 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 causesevere damage to the engine or turbo charger unit.
DC090C1-E FUEL ECONOMY The following suggestions are made to assist in achieving the greatest degree of 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, particu-larly when a cold start is involved.
o Ensure that tyre pressures are main- tained at the correct level.
o Use only the recommended grade
of fuel.
Steep mountain slopes or continued driving in ex-
cess of 62 MPH Required Idle Time Not necessary About 20 secondsAbout 1 minute About 2 minutes

The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transmission has four forward speeds and one reverse speed. It has a con-ventional shift pattern as shown in the illustration. At night, with the sidelights or head-lights switched on, the appropriate symbol on the quadrant will be illumi- nated according to the range selected. NOTE:
Depress the brake pedal and push the button when shifting. Push the button when shifting.The selector lever can be shifted freely.
For optimum fuel economy, acceler-ate gradually. The transmission will automatically shift to the second, thirdand fourth (overdrive) gears.
CAUTION:
Never shift into "R" or "P" position whilst the vehicle is moving.
C070E04A-EAT RECOMMENDED SHIFT POINTS The shift points as shown above are recommended for optimum fuel economy and performance. NOTE: The shift points are recommended and should only be used in the ap- propriate driving conditions.

Therefore, when the overdrive switch is turned "OFF", the transmission per-forms as a three speed unit and the overdrive warning light located in the instrument cluster will be illuminated.When the overdrive switch is turned "ON", the transmission functions as a fully automatic four speed unit with themaximum fuel economy potential of the vehicle being realized. HPC120D2-E General Operating Instructions
o The button in the selector handle
must be depressed before the selec- tor lever can be moved.
o The engine may only be started
when the selector is at position "P"or "N".
o Ensure that the footbrake is firmly
applied when shifting from "P" or"N" to "D", "2" or "L" and vice versa.
o Always engage the parking brake
when the vehicle is unattended,never use the "P" position in place of the parking brake.
o Under normal circumstances, the selector lever should be placed in the"D" position and the transmission allowed to select the most ideal ratiofor the circumstances. In this posi- tion maximum fuel economy will be achieved.
o When descending steep gradients where engine braking is required,the selector lever should be placedat the "2" or "L" position depending upon the vehicle speed. o When climbing steep gradients us-
ing large throttle openings, the trans- mission may repeatedly change be- tween two adjacent ratios. This is a normal characteristic and may beprevented by cancelling the over- drive facility if the shifting occurs between third and fourth ratios, se-lecting position "2" if the shifting occurs between third and second ratios or selecting position "1" if theshifting occurs between first and second ratios.
o Never move the selector lever to or from the "P" or "N" position with theaccelerator depressed.
o Ensure that the overdrive switch is at the "ON" position for maximumeconomy.
o If rapid acceleration is required, fully depress the accelerator pedal. Inthis condition, the kickdown mecha- nism will be operated and the trans-mission will automatically downshift according to the vehicle speed.
o The automatic transaxle may be used to great effect if the vehicle becomesstuck in snow or mud by allowing the vehicle to be rocked to and fro.

14FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD)
D090A01P-GAT You can send your engine power to all front and rear wheels for maximum power. 4WD is useful when you drive in snow, mud, ice, mountainous orsandy areas where good traction is required, or when your wheels lose traction using two-wheel drive.
The engine speed should be held atapproximately 1,000rpm by meansof the accelerator pedal and the se- lector lever moved between the "D" and "R" positions to induce a rockingmotion.
o Do not depress the accelerator pedal
with the brakes applied and the se-lector at the "R", "D", "2" or "L" position.
o Turn the overdrive switch on for good fuel economy and smooth driving.But if engine braking is needed in the "D" range or if repeated upshiftingand downshifting between the 3rd and 4th gear is needed when climb- ing a gentle slope, it is recommendedthat the overdrive switch be turned off. Turn the overdrive switch back on immediately afterward.
!WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lanechanges or fast, sharp turns. o Always wear your seat belts.
In a collision crash, an unbeltedperson 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 motorway 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 Excessive depressing of the
accelerater pedal under the tyre slip condition such as moving out of the mud or fresh snow etc, maycause severe damage to the trans- mission. At this time, take other way such as towing.

C350A01HP-EAT Part-time 4WD operation (Not all models) 1. Knob position This is used to set different positions. 2H(Rear-wheel drive) When driving on normal roads and highway. 4H(High range 4-wheel drive) When driving off-road, wet or snow- covered roads with normal speed. The 4WD HIGH indicator light ( )will be turned on to remind you that you are in the 4H mode.
!
4L(Low range 4-wheel drive) Use "4L" for climbing or descending steep hills, off-road driving, and ve-hicle towing. Especially when increased drive power is required.The 4WD LOW indicator light ( ) will be turned on to remind you that you are in the 4L mode.
2. Transfer shift knob operation By turning the transfer shift knob(4H, 4L), both axles of the vehicle are rigidlyconnected with each other. This im- proves the traction characteristics.
2H

4H
Turn the transfer shift knob from the 2H mode to the 4H mode at speed below 50mph (80 km/h). It is not nec- essary to depress the clutch pedal(Manual Transmission) or put the shift lever into "N(neutral)" position (Auto- matic Transmission). Perform thisoperation when driving straight. 4H

2H
Turn the transfer shift knob from the4H mode to the 2H mode at speedbelow 50mph (80 km/h). It is not nec- essary to depress the clutch pedal (Manual Transmission) or put the shiftlever into "N(neutral)" position (Auto- matic Transmission). Perform this op- eration when driving straight.
CAUTION:
Do not select 4WD (4H or 4L) modeon dry paved roads. Especially on dry highway, never select the 4WD mode.Four-wheel driving on dry paved roads for a long period will increase the fuel consumption with possiblenoise generation and early tyre wear. In addition, axle gear oil tem- perature increases with possibledriving system part wear.

o Apply the parking brake only when the vehicle is at rest.
o Since the power assistance pro- vided by the brake servo is derived from the engine, coasting with theengine turned off or towing of the vehicle with the engine turned off will result in greatly increased pedalpressures being required to stop the vehicle.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the up- grade with the accelerator pedal.This can cause the transmission to overheat. Always use the brakepedal or parking brake.
o Use caution when parking on a hill.
Engage the parking brake and placethe gear selector lever in "P" (auto- matic transaxle) or in first or reverse gear (manual transaxle). If your caris facing downhill, turn the front wheels into the curb to help keep the car from rolling. If your car is facinguphill, turn the front wheels away from the curb to help keep the car from rolling. If there is no curb or if itis required by other conditions to keep the car from rolling, block the wheels.DRIVING FOR ECONOMY
C140A02A-EAT You can save fuel and get more miles from your car if you follow these sug-gestions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate rate. Don't make "jack- rabbit" starts or full-throttle shifts and maintain a steady cruising speed. Don't race between stoplights. Try to adjust your speed to that of the other traffic so you don't have to change speeds unnecessarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible. Always maintain a safe distance from other vehicles so you can avoid unneces- sary braking. This also reduces brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your car uses. Driving at a moderate speed, especially on the motorway, is one of the most effective ways to reduce fuel consumption.
o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. This can increase fuel consumption and also increase wear on these com- ponents. In addition, driving with your foot resting on the brake pedal may cause the brakes to overheat, which reduces their effectiveness and may lead to more serious consequences. o Take care of your tyres. Keep them
inflated to the recommended pres- sure. Incorrect inflation, either too much or too little, results in unnec- essary tyre wear. Check the tyrepressures 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 tyre wearand may also result in other prob- lems as well as greater fuel con- sumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For better fuel economy and reducedmaintenance costs, maintain yourcar in accordance with the mainte- nance schedule in Section 5. If you drive your car in severe conditions,more frequent maintenance is re- quired (see Section 5 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum service, your Hyundai should bekept clean and free of corrosive materials. It is especially importantthat mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be al- lowed to accumulate on the under- side of the car. This extra weight canresult in increased fuel consumption and also contribute to corrosion.
