4 RUNNING IN YOUR NEW HYUNDAI
B020A02FC-EAT PETROL ENGINE The longevity and performance of the vehicle are greatly affected by the careexercised during the first 1000 miles of motoring. Because of modern manu- facturing techniques, rigid guidelinesregarding maximum road speeds have become unnecessary. However, cer- tain precautions should be observed inorder to obtain the best possible per- formance and useful life from the ve- hicle.
1) Do not race the engine without a
load (i.e revving the engine in neu- tral).
2) During the first 500 miles the maxi-
mum engine speed should be re-stricted to 3000 rpm and gradually increased thereafter.
3) Avoid prolonged constant speed operation. The internal componentsof the engine will become more quickly run in if the operation speedis varied during the running in pe- riod. 4) Never allow the engine to labour. Use
the gearbox freely and avoid large throttle openings when the engine speed is below 1500 rpm.
5) Avoid rapid acceleration and maxi- mum throttle openings.
6) Avoid harsh braking during the first
100 miles of urban motoring or 1000 miles of motorway driving to allow the friction facings of the brake pads and shoes to bed against the discsand drums properly.
7) No trailer/caravan towing should be
undertaken during the 1000 mile run-ning-in period. 1) Do not race the engine without a load
(i.e revving the engine in neutral).
2) During the first 600 miles the maxi- mum engine speed should be re-stricted to 3000 rpm and graduallyincreased thereafter. And while driv- ing, keep under three quarters of maximum vehicle speed.
3) Avoid prolonged constant speed operation. The internal componentsof the engine will become morequickly run in if the operation speed is varied during the running in pe- riod.
4) Never allow the engine to labour. Use the gearbox freely and avoidlarge throttle openings when theengine speed is below 1500 rpm.
5) Avoid rapid acceleration and maxi-
mum throttle openings.
6) Avoid harsh braking during the first 100 miles of urban motoring or 1000miles of motorway driving to allowthe friction facings of the brake pads and shoes to bed against the discs and drums properly.

Brake Vacuum Warning Light (Diesel Engine)
The brake vacuum warning light should come on when the vacuum level in brake booster descends to about 275 mmHg or below. The brake system isdesigned to stop the vehicle with re- serve assist if brake pedal is held down. This reserve is greatly reducedeach time you release the brake. With- out vacuum assist your vehicle can still be stopped by pushing much harderon brake pedal, however the stopping distance may be much longer. WARNING:
If you suspect brake trouble, have your brakes checked by a Hyundai authorised repairer as soon as pos- sible. Driving your car with a prob-lem in either the brake electrical sys- tem or brake hydraulic system is dangerous, and could result in seri-ous injury or death.If the light comes on at any other time, you should slow the vehicle and bring itto a complete stop in a safe location off the roadway. After starting the engine, do not drivethe vehicle until the vacuum level is above 275 mmHg below atmosphere and warning light has turned off. Iffurther trouble is experienced, the ve- hicle should not be driven at all but taken to a Hyundai authorised repairerby a professional towing service. B265C02HP-EAT

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.

(6) Since the driving torque is always
applied to the 4 wheels, the perfor- mance of the full-time 4WD vehicle is greatly affected by the condition of the tyres. Be sure to equip it withall four tyres of the same size and type.
o When replacement of any of the tyres or disc wheels is neces-sary, replace all of them.
o Rotate the tyres and check the tyre pressure at regular inter-vals.
WARNING:
Your vehicle is equipped with tyresdesigned 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. Ifyou 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.
(7) The full-time 4WD vehicle cannot
be towed by an ordinary tow truck. Make sure that the vehicle is towedwith its four wheels raised off the ground.
o If the vehicle is towed with its
only two wheels raised off the ground, the 4WD system could be damaged.
o Where the situation is unavoid- able, if the vehicle is being towedwith all four wheels on the ground,it should be towed in a forward direction only using a towing rope.
o Whilst towing, check the follow- ing items.
1. The ignition switch is in "ACC"
or "ON".
2. Place the shift lever in neutral (For Automatic Transmission, "N" position).
3. Release the parking brake. NOTE: To avoid serious damage to your 4WD vehicle, limit towing to 10 mph (15km/h) and not for more than 1mile (1.5km) at ANY TIME. (8) For speedometer test or inspection/
maintenance (I/M) program of full- time 4WD vehicle, use a four-wheel chassis dynamometer.
CAUTION:
Never engage the parking brakewhilst performing these tests.

EFFECTIVE BRAKING
HPC141A1-E Braking system performance and fric- tion material life are greatly affected by the driving style adopted. The follow- ing suggestions are made to assist inachieving the best results from the braking system.
o Anticipate the road and conditions ahead in order that heavy braking may be avoided.
o When descending long gradients,
use the engine to assist in retardingthe vehicle to minimise the possibil- ity of brake fade occurring.
o When trailer towing, ensure that the trailer brakes function correctly anduse engine braking to assist the vehicle braking system.
o Use only genuine Hyundai replace- ment brake pads and shoes to en-sure consistent friction characteris-tics and wear rates.
o After driving through deep water (e.g.
fording), the brakes may becomewet and performance reduced. Al- ways check brake efficiency after emerging from the water and dry thebrakes by lightly depressing the brake pedal several times whilst driv- ing slowly.LIMITED-SLIP DIFFEREN- TIAL (LSD)
D190A01HP-EAT (Not all models) A limited-slip differential, if equipped, is for the rear wheel differential only.The features of this limited-slip differ- ential are described below: Just as with a conventional differential,the wheel on one side is allowed to turn at a different speed from the wheel on the other side when the vehicle iscornering. The difference between the limited-slip differential and a conven- tional differential is that if the wheel onone side of the vehicle loses traction, a greater amount of torque is applied to the rear wheel on the other side toimprove traction.
WARNING:
ABS will not prevent accidents dueto improper or dangerous drivingmanoeuvres. Even though vehicle control is improved during emer- gency braking, always maintain asafe distance between you and ob- jects ahead. Vehicle speeds should always be reduced during extremeroad conditions. The braking distance for cars equipped with an anti-lock braking system may be longer than for those without it, in the following road con-ditions. These roads should be driven at reduced speeds.
o Rough, gravel or snow-covered roads.
o With tyre chains installed.
o On roads where the road surface is pitted or has different surfaceheight.
The safety features of an ABSequipped vehicle should not be testedby high speed driving or cornering. This could endanger the safety of yourself or others.
! CAUTION:
o Never start the engine with the gearshift lever placed in the for- ward or reverse whilst one of therear wheels is jacked up and the other in contact with the ground; doing so may cause the vehicle tojump forward.
o Use only recommended oil for
LSD in the rear axle.See page 9-4 for the recommended oil descriptions.

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.
