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

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.

CAUTION:
If overheating should occur when towing, (temperature gauge reads near red zone), taking the following action may reduce or eliminate theproblem.
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 selector in park or neu- tral and idle the engine at a higherspeed.
14. When going down a hill, shift into a
lower gear and use the engine brak-ing effect. When climbing a long grade, down- shift the transmission to a lowergear and reduce speed to reduce chances of engine overloading and/ or overheating.
15.If you have to stop whilst going uphill, do not hold the vehicle inplace by pressing on the accelera-tor. This can cause the automatic transmission to overheat. Use the parking brake or footbrake.
NOTE: When towing, check transmission fluid more frequently.
8. When parking your car and trailer,
especially on a hill, be sure to follow all the normal precautions. Turn your front wheels into the curb, set the parking brake firmly, and putthe transmission in 1st or Reverse (manual) or Park (automatic). In addition, we advise the use of wheelchocks at each of 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 occasion- ally to be sure that the load issecure, and that the lights and any trailer brakes are still working.
11.Avoid jerky starts, sudden accel- eration or sudden stops.
12.Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.
13.Avoid holding the brake pedal down
too long or too frequently. This couldcause the brakes to overheat, re- sulting in reduced braking efficiency.

1. Ensure that the booster battery is 12
volt type. If the booster battery is installed in another vehicle, ensure that the two vehicles are not touch- ing.
2. Turn off all unnecessary electrical equipment in both vehicles.
3. Ensure that the engine of the ve- hicle providing the jump start is run- ning prior to connection of the jump cables.
4. Connect the red jump cable to the positive (+) terminal of the boosterbattery and the other end to thepositive (+) terminal of the dis- charged battery.
5. Attach the black jump cable to the negative (-) terminal of the boosterbattery, and the other end to a ground point within the engine compartmentof the vehicle with the flat bat-tery. Do not connect to the negative bat- tery terminal of the flat battery sincesparks 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 flat battery. 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 incorrectly installed, 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 transmis- sion computer. The battery mustnever be disconnected whilst the engine is running.
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
HPD040A2-E If the temperature gauge indicates overheating:
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 trans- mission) 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 hasstopped running or the steaming has stopped. If there is no visible loss of coolant and no steam, leave theengine running and check to be sure the engine cooling fan is operating. If the fan is not running, turn theengine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive
belt is broken. If it is not missing,check to see that it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be satisfactory, check for coolant leaking from theradiator, hoses or under the car. (If the air conditioning had been in use, it is normal for cold water to bedraining from it).

!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.
WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system withengine running or within 30 seconds after shutting off engine. High pres- sure pump, rail, injectors and highpressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the engine stopped. The fuel jet produced byfuel leaks may cause serious in- jury, if it contacts the body. People using pacemakers should ensure thatthey keep a distance of 30cm from the ECU or wiring harness within the engine room while engine is run-ning, since the high currents in the Common Rail system produce con- siderable magnetic fields. 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:
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(page 6-10) up to the baseof the radiator fill opening. Fill the coolant expansion tank to the half- way mark.
7. Proceed with caution until it is estab- lished that the engine is operatingnormally. If the engine overheatsrepeatedly, the advice of a Hyundai authorised repairer should be sought.! CAUTION:
Serious loss of coolant indicates there is a leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundai authorisedrepairer.

JE100A1-E SEAT BELTS Seat belts should be cleaned only with a mild soap solution. Strong deter-gents, solvents or bleaches may dam- age the belt webbing and therefore re- duce the effectiveness of the belt. Beltswhich display signs of fraying, wear or cuts should be replaced.INTERIOR VALETING
JE110A1-E The soft trim and carpets should be maintained with the regular use of a vacuum cleaner. Heavy soiling should be removed with a dry cleaning agentrecommended for this purpose follow- ing the instructions of the product manufacturer. Paint thinner, solventsor other such cleaning materials should not be used since damage to the up- holstery may result. JE120A1-E WINDOWS A proprietary glass cleaner should be used to clean the inside of the win-dows. However, the rear heated windscreen must only be cleaned us- ing a light horizontal cleaning action.Care should be exercised to avoid the use of abrasive cleaners or contact with items of jewellery which may dam-age the heating elements. YE010A1-E To Clean Leather Upholstery (Not all models) In the normal course of use, leather upholstered surfaces will, like any material, pick-up dust and dirt. Thisdust and dirt MUST be cleaned off or it may work into the surface of the leather, causing damage.Fine leather needs care. This care, as with all fine things, need not be elabo- rate, but should include cleaning whennecessary. Washing leather thoroughly with soap and water will keep your leather lustrous, beautiful and ensureyou have many years of wear. Take a piece of cheese cloth and using any mild soap and lukewarm water,work up a good lather. Thoroughly wash the leather. Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth and dry with softcloth. Do this as often as the leather becomes soiled.

engine and ensure that no oil leaks exist. Turn off the engine and aftera couple minutes, recheck the oil level.
CAUTION:
Slowly pour the recommended oil by using a funnel. Do not overfill to prevent engine damage.
WARNING:
Prolonged and repeated contact withused engine oils may result in seri- ous skin disorders including der-matitis and cancer. Avoid contact with skin as far as possible and always wash thoroughly after anycontact. Keep used oils out of reach of children. It is illegal to pollute drains, water courses and soil. Useonly authorisedwaste collection fa- cilities including civic amenity sites and garages for the disposalof used oil and oil filters. If in doubt, contact the local authority for dis- posal instructions. 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.
SG050B1-E
Coolant recommendations
Only ethylene glycol based coolant
with a corrosion inhibitor suited toaluminium alloy engine componentsshould be used in the cooling system. No further additives or inhibitors should be used. The coolant specificgravity should be checked as pre- scribed in the maintenance schedule to ensure adequate frost and corro-sion protection. In addition, the en- gine coolant must be replaced at the specified interval since the corrosioninhibitor properties deteriorate with time.
ENGINE COOLANT CHECK- ING AND REPLACING
SG050A1-E
! 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 resultin reduced frost protection and engine overheating. Therefore the recom- mended concentration of 50% shouldnot be exceeded for general use.The use of methanol based anti freezecompounds may result in engine over-heating and will invalidate the vehicle warranty. NOTE: It is imperative that vehicles fitted with an air conditioning systemhave a coolant concentration of the recommended strength at all times. The use of the air condition-ing system when the cooling sys- tem is filled with water only will result in the heater matrix freezingand subsequently bursting.
