o The playback head, capstan and
pinch rollers will develop a coating of tape residue that can result in dete- rioration of sound quality, such as awavering sound. They should be cleaned monthly using a commer- cially available head cleaning tape orspecial solution available from audio specialty shops. Follow the supplier's directions carefully and never oil anypart of the tape player unit.
o Always be sure that the tape is tightly
wound on its reel before inserting inthe player. Rotate a pencil in the drive sprockets to wind up any slack. B860A03L
NOTE: Look at a tape before you insert it. If the tape is loose, tighten it by turning one of the hubs with a pencil or your finger.If the label is peeling off, do not put it in the drive mechanism. Do not leave tapes sitting where theyare exposed to hot, warm, or high humidity, such as on top of the dash- board or in the player.If a tape is exposed to excessively hot or cold, let it reach a moderate temperature before putting it in theplayer.

C160G01A-GAT To Keep Locks from Freezing To keep the locks from freezing, squirt an approved de-icer fluid or glycerineinto the key opening. If a lock is cov- ered with ice, squirt it with an approved de-icing fluid to remove the ice. If thelock is frozen internally, you may be able to thaw it out by using a heated key. Handle the heated key with careto avoid injury. NOTE: The proper temperature for using the immobilizer key is from -40°C to 80°C. If you heat the immobilizer key over 80°C to open the frozenlock, it may cause damage to the transponder in its head. C160H01A-AAT Use Approved Anti-Freeze in Window Washer System To keep the water in the window washer system from freezing, add an approvedanti-freeze solution in accordance with instructions on the container. Window washer anti-freeze is available fromHyundai dealers and most auto parts outlets. Do not use engine coolant or other types of anti-freeze as thesemay damage the finish.
C160I01A-AAT Don't Let Your Parking Brake Freeze Under some conditions your parking brake can freeze in the engaged posi-tion. This is most likely to happen when there is an accumulation of snow or ice around or near the rear brakes orif the brakes are wet. If there is a risk the parking brake may freeze, apply it only temporarily while you put the gearselector lever in "P" (automatic) or in first or reverse gear (manual transaxle) and block the rear wheels so the carcannot roll. Then release the parking brake.

C190A01A-GAT If you are considering towing with your car, you should first check with your Province Department of Motor Vehicles to determine their legal requirements.Since laws vary from province to prov- ince, the requirements for towing trail- ers, cars, other types of vehicles, orapparatus may differ. Ask your Hyundai dealer for further details before towing. TRAILER OR VEHICLE TOWING
CAUTION
Do not do any towing with your car during its first 2,000 km (1,200 miles)in order to allow the engine to prop- erly break in. Failure to heed this caution may result in serious en-gine or transaxle damage. C190B01S-AAT Trailer Hitches Select the proper hitch and ball combi- nation, making sure that it's location iscompatible with that of the trailer or vehicle being towed. Use a quality non-equalizing hitch whichdistributes the tongue load uniformly throughout the chassis. The hitch should be bolted securely to the car and installed by a qualified technician. DO NOT USE A HITCHDESIGNED FOR TEMPORARY IN- STALLATION AND NEVER USE ONE THAT ATTACHES ONLY TO THEBUMPER.
C190C03Y-GAT Trailer Brakes If your trailer is equipped with a braking system, make sure it conforms to fed-eral and/or local regulations and that it is properly installed and operating cor- rectly. NOTE: If you tow a trailer or vehicle, your car will require more frequent main-tenance due to the additional load. See "Maintenance Under Severe Usage Conditions" on page 5-7.
CAUTION:
o Never connect a trailer brake sys- tem directly to the vehicle brakesystem.
o When towing a trailer on steep grades (in excess of 6%) pay closeattention to the engine coolanttemperature gauge to ensure the engine does not overheat. If the needle of the coolant temperature

booster battery. Then attach the other end of that cable to a solid metal partof the engine away from the battery. Do not connect the cable to any moving part.
4. Start the engine in the car with the booster battery and let it run for afew minutes. This will help to as-sure that the booster battery is fully charged. During the jumping opera- tion, run the engine in this vehicle atabout 2000 rpm.
5. Start the engine in the car with the
discharged battery using the nor-mal starting procedure. After the engine starts, leave the jumper cables connected and let the enginerun at fast idle or about 2000 rpm for several minutes.
6. carefully remove the jumper cables in the reverse order of attachment.
If you do not know why your battery became discharged (because the lights were left on, etc.), have the charging system checked by your Hyundaidealer. D030A02A-AAT If your temperature gauge indicates overheating, you experience a loss of power, or hear loud pinging or knock- ing, the engine is probably too hot. Ifthis happens to you, you should:
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 transaxle) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If engine coolant is running out un- der the car or steam is coming outfrom the hood, stop the engine. Donot open the hood until the engine coolant has stopped running or the steaming has stopped. If there is novisible loss of engine coolant and no steam, leave the engine running and check to be sure the enginecooling fan is operating. If the fan is not running, turn the engine off.
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
4. Check to see if the water pump drivebelt is missing. If it is not missing, check to see that it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be satisfactory, check for engine coolant leakingfrom the radiator, hoses or under the car. (If the air conditioning had been in use, it is normal for coldwater to be draining from it when you stop).
WARNING:
While the engine is running, keephair, hands, and clothing away from moving parts such as the fan anddrive belts to prevent injury.
5. If the water pump drive belt is broken or engine coolant is leaking out, stop the engine immediately and call thenearest Hyundai dealer for assis- tance.

!WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. This can allow coolant to be blown out of the open- ing and cause serious burns.
6. If you cannot find the cause of the overheating, wait until the engine temperature has returned to nor- mal. Then, if the engine coolant has been lost, carefully add coolant tothe reservoir (page 6-10) to bring the fluid level in the reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheating. Ifoverheating happens again, call aHyundai dealer for assistance.
CAUTION:
Serious loss of engine coolant indi-cates there is a leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundaidealer. D040A01GK-GAT Temporary Spare Tire The following instructions for the tem- porary spare tire should be observed:
1. Check inflation pressure as soon as
practical after installing the spare tire, and adjust to the specified pres- sure. The tire pressure should be periodically checked and maintainedat the specified pressure while the tire is stored. 5. The temporary spare tire should not
be used on any other wheels, nor should standard tires, snow tires, wheel covers or trim rings be used with the temporary spare wheel. Ifsuch use is attempted, damage to these items or other car compo- nents may occur.
6. The temporary spare tire pressure should be checked once a monthwhile the tire is stored.

12IF YOUR VEHICLE MUST BE TOWED
D080A01O-GAT If your vehicle has to be towed, it should be done by your Hyundai dealeror a commercial tow truck service. This will help assure that your vehicle is not damaged in towing. Also, profes-sionals are generally aware of local laws governing towing. In any case, rather than risk damage to your car, itis suggested that you show this infor- mation to the tow truck operator. Be sure that a safety chain system is usedand that all local laws are observed. It is recommended that your vehicle be towed with a wheel lift and dollies orflatbed equipment with all the wheels off the ground.
! CAUTION:
o Your vehicle can be damaged if towed incorrectly!
o Be sure the transaxle is in neu-
tral.
o When the engine will not start, be
sure the steering is unlocked by placing the key in the "ACC" po- sition.

Tire Pressure Gauge (If Installed) You can easily check the tire pressure with a tire pressure gauge that is foundin OVM tool bag. Tires normally lose some air in day-to-day use, and you may have to add a few pounds of airperiodically and it is not usually a sign of a leaking tire, but of normal wear. Always check tire pressure when thetires are cold because tire pressure increases with temperature. To check the tire pressure, take the following steps;
1. Unscrew the inflation valve cap that
is located on the rim of the tire.
2. Press and hold the gauge against the tire valve. Some air will escape as you begin and more will escape if you don't press the gauge in firmly.
3. A firm non-leaking push will activate the gauge.
4. Read the tire pressure on the gauge
to know whether the tire pressure is low or high.
5. Adjust the tire pressures to the speci-
fied pressure. See page 8-3.
6. Reinstall the inflation valve cap.

44CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE
2CORROSION PROTECTION
E010A01A-AAT Protecting Your Hyundai from Corrosion By using the most advanced design and construction practices to combatcorrosion, Hyundai produces cars of the highest quality, however, this is only part of the job. To achieve thelong-term corrosion resistance your Hyundai can deliver, the owner's co- operation and assistance is also re-quired. E010B01A-AAT Common Causes of Corrosion The most common causes of corro- sion on your car are:
o Road salt, dirt and moisture that is
allowed to accumulate underneath the car.
o Removal of paint or protective coat-
ings by stones, gravel, abrasion orminor scrapes and dents which leave unprotected metal exposed to cor- rosion.
E010C01A-AAT High-Corrosion Areas If you live in an area where your car is regularly exposed to corrosive materi- als, corrosion protection is particularlyimportant. Some of the common causes of accelerated corrosion are road salts, dust control chemicals,ocean air and industrial pollution. E010D01A-AAT Moisture Breeds Corrosion Moisture creates the conditions in which corrosion is most likely to occur. Forexample, corrosion is accelerated by high humidity, particularly when tem- peratures are just above freezing. Insuch conditions, the corrosive material is kept in contact with the car surfaces by moisture that is slow to evaporate.Mud is a particular corrosive because it is slow to dry and holds moisture in contact with the vehicle. Although themud appears to be dry, it can still retain the moisture and promote corrosion. High temperatures can also acceler-ate corrosion of parts that are not properly ventilated so the moisture can be dispersed. For all these rea-sons, it is particularly important to keep your car clean and free of mud or accumulations of other materials. Thisapplies not only to the visible surfaces but particularly to the underside of the car.
