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
Driving Condition Normal driving High speed driving
Up to 50 MPH Up to 62 MPH

o Avoid carrying unnecessary weight,
and if a roof rack is in use, remove it as soon as possible after use.
o Anticipate the road and conditions
ahead to enable adjustments inspeed to be made smoothly. Avoid heavy acceleration and sharp brak- ing.
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 conditioner only when
necessary. The five speed fully synchronized trans- mission is controlled by a floor mounted gearshift lever upon which the shiftpattern is indicated. It is important that when changing gear, the clutch pedal is fully depressed to avoid transmissiondamage. 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 gearshift
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 caution should 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 transmis-sion lubricant has warmed up. This is normal and not harmful tothe transmission.
o If you've come to a complete stop
and it's hard to shift into 1st orR(Reverse), put the gearshift lever in N(Neutral) position and release the clutch. Press the clutch pedalback down, and then shift into 1st or R(Reverse) gear position.
o Do not use the gearshift lever as a handrest during driving, as thiscan result in premature wear of the transmission shift forks. C070B01A-EAT Using the Clutch The clutch should be pressed all the way to the floor before shifting, then released slowly. The clutch pedal should aways be used after fully re-turning to the original position. Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal whilst driving. This can cause unnecessarywear. Do not partially engage the clutch to hold the car on an incline. This causesunnecessary wear. Use the parking brake to hold the car on an incline. Do not operate the clutch pedal rapidlyand repeatedly.
!WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lane changes or fast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts.
In a collision crash, an unbeltedperson is significantly more likely to 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 toreenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer sharply.Instead, slow down before pulling back into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed limits.

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.
