The needle on the engine coolant tem- perature gauge should stay in the nor-mal range. If it moves across the dial to "H" (Hot), pull over and stop as soon as possible and turn off the engine. Thenopen the hood and, after the engine has cooled, check the coolant level and the water pump drive belt. If yoususpect cooling system trouble, have your cooling system checked by a Hyundai dealer as soon as possible.

B280A01TG-AAT FUEL GAUGE
The needle on the gauge indicates the approximate fuel level in the fuel tank. The fuel capacity is given in Section 9. NOTE: The "
" symbol means the fuel
filler lid is placed on the left side of the vehicle. B290A02A-AAT ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. The engine cool- ant is under pressure and could erupt and cause severe burns. Waituntil the engine is cool before re- moving the radiator cap.

53TRIP COMPUTER
B400B03GK-GAT The trip computer is a microcomputer- controlled driver information gauge that displays information related to driving,such as estimated distance to empty, average speed and drive time on the LCD. Reset Switch
o The reset switch is used to zero the
multi-functional display mode.
o Pushing in the reset switch on the left side of tachometer changes the display as follows; 1. Distance to Empty
o This mode provides the estimated
distance to empty from the current fuel level in the fuel tank.
o The trip computer may not register additional fuel if less than 6 liters(1.36 gallons) of fuel are added to thevehicle.
o When the battery has been rein-
stalled after being discharged ordisconnected, drive more than 32km for an accurate distance to empty.

o When the distance to empty is less
than 50 km (30 miles), the distance to empty digits (---) will blink untilmore fuel is added.
NOTE:
o The distance to empty can differ from the actual tripmeter accord- ing to driving conditions.
o The distance to empty can vary
according to the driving condi-tions, driving pattern or vehicle speed. 2. Average Speed (km/h or MPH)
o This mode indicates the average
speed travelled since the last aver- age speed reset.
o To reset the average speed to zero, press and hold the reset switch formore than 1 second while the aver- age speed is being displayed. 3. Drive Time
o This mode indicates the drive time
travelled since the last drive time reset.
o To reset the drive time to zero, press and hold the reset switch formore than 1 second while the drivetime is being displayed.

B330C01GK-GAT (If installed) Multi gauge is consists of torque gauge, instantaneous fuel consumption gaugeand volt gauge.
Instantaneous fuel Consumption gauge It shows instantaneous fuel consump- tion according to the driving condition. The more indicated figure is low, the more it indicates efficient driving situa-tion.
Torque gauge It shows instantaneous change of the torque by rpm. Volt gauge It shows moment volt change and makes for diver correspond to low voltsituation.

o Automotive fuels are flammable/
explosive materials. When refuel- ing, please note the following guidelines carefully. Failure tofollow these guidelines may re- sult in severe personal injury, se- vere burns or death by fire orexplosion.
- Before refueling always note thelocation of the Emergency Gaso- line Shut-Off, if available, at the gas station facility.
- Before touching the fuel nozzle
or fuel filler cap, you shouldeliminate potentially dangerous static electricity discharge bytouching another metal part of the front of the vehicle, a safe distance away from the fuel fillerneck, nozzle, or other gas source.
- Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refueling.Do not touch, rub or slide against any item or fabric (polyester,satin, nylon, etc.) capable of pro- ducing static electricity. Static electricity discharge can ignitefuel vapors resulting in explo- sion.
!
B560A01MC-GAT The fuel-filler lid may be opened from inside the vehicle by pulling up on thefuel-filler lid opener located on the front floor area on the left side of the car. NOTE: If the fuel-filler lid will not open because ice has formed around it, tap lightly or push on the lid tobreak the ice and release the lid. Do not pry on the lid. If necessary, spray around the lid with an ap-proved de-icer fluid (do not use radiator anti-freeze) or move the vehicle to a warm place and allowthe ice to melt.REMOTE FUEL-FILLER LID RELEASE
WARNING:
o Fuel vapors are dangerous. Be- fore refueling, always stop the en- gine and never allow sparks oropen flames near the filler area. If you need to replace the filler cap, use a genuine Hyundai replace-ment part. If you open the fuel filler cap dur- ing high ambient temperatures, aslight "pressure sound" may be heard. This is normal and not a cause for concern.Whenever you open the fuel filler cap, turn it slowly.

If you must re-enter the vehicle, you should once again elimi- nate potentially dangerous staticelectricity discharge by touch- ing a metal part of the vehicle, away from the fuel filler neck,nozzle or other gasoline 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 canignite fuel vapors causing a fire. Once refueling has begun, con- tact with the vehicle should bemaintained until the filling is complete. Use only portable fuel containers designed to carry andstore gasoline.
- Do not use cellular phones
around a gas station or whilerefueling any vehicle. Electric current and/or electronic inter- ference from cellular phones canpotentially ignite fuel vapors causing a fire. If you must use your cellular phone use it in aplace away from the gas station.
TAIL GATE
B540A01F-AAT Remote Tail Gate Release To open the tail gate without using the key, pull up the lid release lever lo- cated on the driver's door panel.To close, lower the tail gate, then press down on it until it locks. To be sure the tail gate is securely fastened,always try to pull it up again. OGK046005
- When refueling always shut the
engine off. Sparks produced byelectrical components related tothe engine can ignite fuel va- pors causing a fire. Always en- sure that the engine is OFF be-fore and during refueling. Once refueling is complete, check to make sure the fuel filler cap anddoor are securely closed, before starting the engine.
- Do not light any fire around a
gas station. DO NOT use matchesor a lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or leave a lit cigarette in your vehicle while at a gas station especially during refueling. Au-tomotive fuel is highly flammable 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 gas station or contact the police and local fire department. Follow anysafety instructions they provide.

C090A03Y-GAT OPERATING THE AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transaxle has four forward speeds and one reverse speed. The individualspeeds are selected automatically, depending on the position of the speed selector lever. The selector lever has 2gates; the main gate and the manual gate. NOTE: For information on manual gate operation, refer to "Sports Mode". In the main gate, the selector lever has 4 positions, and is equipped with a button to avoid inadvertent wrong se-lection. The first few shifts on a new vehicle, orif the battery has been disconnected,may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal condition, and the shifting se- quence will adjust after shifts are cycleda few times by the T.C.M (Transaxle Control Module).
CAUTION:
Never shift into "R" or "P" position while the vehicle is moving.
