D010A01P-GAT
1. Do not breathe exhaust fumes con- taining carbons monoxide when starting or driving. Carbon monox- ide is a colorless, odorless gas and can cause unconsciousness ordeath by asphyxiation.
2. Open all the windows fully and get
the back door closed if you smellexhaust fumes inside the vehicle. Have the cause immediately located and corrected.
3. Check the exhaust system, from time to time, for holes or loose con-nections if you hear a change in theexhaust sound, or if something has hit the exhaust system.
4. Do not race the engine in a garage
or enclosed area any longer than ittakes to start the engine and drive the vehicle in or out. The sealedexhaust fume may make a particu- larly dangerous situation.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
C020A02O-GAT Before you start the engine, you should always:
1. Look around the vehicle to be sure
there are no flat tires, puddles of oil, water or other indications of pos- sible trouble.
2. After entering the car, check to be sure the parking brake is engaged.
3. Check that all windows, and lights are clean.
4. Check that the interior and exterior
mirrors are clean and in position.
5. Check your seat, seatback and headrest to be sure they are in theirproper positions.
6. Lock all the doors.
7. Fasten your seat belt and be sure
that all other occupants have fas- tened theirs.
8. Turn off all lights and accessories
that are not needed. WARNING (DIESEL ENGINE):
To ensure that sufficient vacuum exists within the brake system dur- ing cold weather start-up condi-tions, it is necessary to run the engine at idle for several seconds after starting the engine.
9. When you turn the ignition switch to
"ON", check that all appropriatewarning lights are operating andthat you have sufficient fuel.
10.Check the operation of warning
lights and all bulbs when key is inthe "ON" position.
!WARNING:
Always wear appropriate shoes when operating your vehicle. Unsuitable shoes (high heels, ski boots, etc.) may interfere with yourability to use the brake and accelera- tor pedal, and the clutch (if installed).

C070E03A-GAT RECOMMENDED SHIFT POINTS The shift points as shown above are recommended for optimum fuel economy and performance.
Shift
from-to 1-2 2-3 3-44-5 Recommended
20 km/h (15 mph)40 km/h (25 mph) 55 km/h (35 mph) 75 km/h (45 mph)
NOTE:
o To shift into reverse, rest the le- ver in neutral for at least 3 sec- onds after your car is completelystopped. Then move the lever into the reverse position.
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 or"R", put the shift lever in "N" position and let up on the clutch. Press the clutch pedal back down,and then shift into 1st or "R" gear position.
o Do not use the shift lever as a handrest during driving, as thiscan result in premature wear of the transmission shift forks. CAUTION:
When downshifting from fifth gearto fourth gear, caution should be taken not to inadvertently press the gear lever sideways in such a man-ner that second gear is engaged. Such a drastic downshift may cause the engine speed to increase to thepoint that the tachometer will enter the red-zone. Such over-revving of the engine may possibly cause en-gine damage.
!
D050B01P-GAT Using the Clutch The clutch should be pressed all the way to the floor before shifting, then released slowly. Do not rest your footon the clutch pedal while driving. This can cause unnecessary wear. Do not partially engage the clutch tohold the vehicle on an incline. This causes unnecessary wear. Use the parking brake to hold thevehicle on an incline. Do not operate the clutch pedal rapidly and repeat- edly. C070D02O-AAT Good Driving Practices
o Never take the vehicle out of gear
and coast down a hill. This is ex- tremely hazardous. Always leavethe vehicle in gear.
o Don't "ride" the brakes. This can
cause them to overheat and mal-function. Instead, when you are driv- ing down a long hill, slow down and shift to a lower gear. When you dothis, engine braking will help slow the car.

o R (Reverse): Use for backing up the vehicle. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop beforeshifting the selector lever to "R" posi- tion. D060D01P-GAT
o N (Neutral): In the "N" position, the transmission is in neutral, which means that no gearsare engaged. The engine can be started with the shift lever in "N" position, although this is not recommended ex-cept if the engine stalls while the car is moving.
HSR3083A D060B01P-GAT The function of each position is as follows:
o P (Park): Use to hold the vehicle in place when parking or while starting the engine;shift the selector lever to the "P" posi- tion. Whenever parking the car, apply the parking brake and shift the selectorlever to the "P" position.
CAUTION:
Never place the selector lever in the"P" position unless the vehicle is fully stopped. Failure to observe this caution willcause severe damage to the trans- mission.
!
Depress the brake pedal and push the button when shifting. Push the button when shifting.The selector lever can be shifted freely.
For optimum fuel economy, acceler-ate gradually. The transmission will automatically shift to the second, thirdand overdrive gears.
!WARNING:
Always apply the brake pedal when you stop the vehicle on an inclinedroad with the shift lever in the D (Drive) position. Do NOT rely on the engine and transmission to preventthe vehicle from rolling down the hill. Before attempting to backup on an in clined road, always apply thebrake pedal before moving the shift lever to the R (Reverse) position.

If you need to accelerate rapidly, press the accelerator pedal all the way to thefloor. The transmission will automati- cally shift to a lower gear, depending on the speed. NOTE: Turn the overdrive switch on for good fuel economy and smooth driving. If engine braking is neededin the "D" range or if repeated up- shifting and downshifting between the 3rd and 4th gear is needed whenclimbing a gentle slope, it is recom- mended that the overdrive switch be turned off. Turn the overdriveswitch back on immediately after- ward.
CAUTION:
o Shift into "R", "D" and "P" only when the vehicle has completelystopped.
o Do not accelerate the engine in
the reverse or any of the forwardpositions with the brakes applied.
o Always apply the footbrake when
shifting from "P" or "N" to "R","D", "2" or "L" position.
o Do not use the "P" position in
place of the parking brake. Al-ways set the parking brake, shift the transmission into "P" and turn off the ignition when you leave the vehicle, even momen-tarily. Never leave the vehicle unat- tended while the engine is run-ning.
o Check the automatic transmis-
sion fluid level regularly, and addfluid as necessary. See the maintenance schedule for the proper fluid recommen-dation.
! D080A01P-GAT OVERDRIVE SWITCH (If installed) When the overdrive switch is turned on, the transmission will automatically upshift to the second, third and over- drive gears. When the overdrive switchis turned off, the transmission will not upshift to the overdrive gear at all. For normal driving, the selector levershould be left in the "D" position and the overdrive switch turned on. To move the selector lever, the push but-ton on the selector lever handle may have to be depressed first.D080A01P

o Always use the parking brake. Do
not depend on placing the transmis- sion in "P" to keep the vehicle from moving.
o Exercise extreme caution when driv-
ing on a slippery surface. Be espe-cially careful when braking, acceler- ating or shifting gears.On a slippery surface, an abrupt change in engine speed can cause the drive wheels to lose traction andthe vehicle to go out of control.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the up-
grade with the accelerator pedal.This can cause the transmission to overheat. Always use the brake pedal or parking brake.
o Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothlydepressing and releasing the accel-erator pedal.
WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lane changes or fast, sharp turns.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD)
D090A01P-GAT (Minibus) (If installed) You can send your engine power to all front and rear wheels for maximumpower. 4WD is useful when you drive in snow, mud, ice, mountainous or sandy areas where good traction isrequired, or when your wheels lose traction using two-wheel drive. D090A01P
!
o Always wear your seat belts.
In a collision crash, an unbelted person 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 highway 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 If your vehicle becomes stuck in
snow, mud, sand, etc., then you may attempt to rock the vehicle free by moving it forward and back-ward. Do not attempt this proce- dure if people or objects are any- where near the vehicle. During therocking operation the vehicle may suddenly move forward of back- ward as it becomes unstuck, caus-ing injury or damage to nearby people or objects.

(4) If the vehicle is equipped with a
brake booster, the brake boosting force is lost after the brake pedal is depressed once or twice while the engine is off. If this occurs, thebrake will require greater force than usual. This is especially important whenthe vehicle is being towed. A film of water can form on thebrake discs or brake drums andprevent normal functioning after driving in heavy rain or through large puddles, or after the vehicle iswashed. If this occurs, repeatedly tap the brake pedal lightly while driving to dry out the brakes.
(6) It is important to take advantage of the braking power of the engine byshifting to a lower gear while drivingon steep downhill roads in order to prevent the brakes from overheat- ing.
(7) Periodically confirm that the brake warning lamp functions properly.
(8) With new brake linings, if possible, avoid applying the brakes fully dur- ing the first 200 km (124 miles) of driving.
HSRFL150
(5) Check the brake system while driv- ing at a low speed immediately after starting, especially when the brakes are wet, to confirm that itworks normally. D120A02P-GAT PARKING BRAKE To park the vehicle, first bring it to a complete stop, fully engage the park-ing brake, and then set the gearshift lever at 1st or reverse. Move the trans- fer shift lever to any position. Applying the parking brake To engage the parking brake, first apply the foot brake and then without press- ing the release button in, pull the park-ing brake lever up as far as possible. In addition it is recommended that when parking the vehicle on a gradient, theshift lever should be positioned in the appropriate low gear on manual transaxle vehicles or in the P (Park) position onautomatic transaxle vehicles.

CAUTION:
Before driving, be sure that the park- ing brake is fully released and brakewarning lamp is off.! D160A01P-GAT PARKING
o When parking on a hill, fully engage
the parking brake and set the gear shift lever to 1st or reverse position. It is recommended to use chocks for greater safety.
o Do not keep the engine running for a long time in a closed or poorlyventilated place. Carbon monoxidegas is odourless and extremely poi- sonous and dangerous.
o Do not park in places where there are such inflammable objects as drygrass, waste cloth, etc. Exhaust pipe temperature is very high justafter driving and dry grass etc., if present around the exhaust pipe, can catch fire.Also avoid such places for parking where there are inflammable ob- jects at the rear of car.
D100A01P-GAT BRAKE PEDAL
CAUTION:
It is important that you do not drive the vehicle with your foot resting on the brake pedal when braking is not required. This practice can re-sult in abnormally high brake tem- perature, excessive lining wear, and possible damage to the brakes.
! HXDFL184
Brake pedal
Excessive use of the brake can cause fading, resulting in poor brake responseand premature wear of brake linings. When going down a long or steep grade, use engine braking by shiftingthe transmission into the "2" (SEC- OND) or "L" (LOW) position.
CAUTION:
Driving with the parking brake ap- plied will cause excessive brake pad and brake rotor wear. Releasing the parking brake To release the parking brake, first apply the foot brake and pull the praking brakelever slightly. Secondly, depress the release button and lower the parking brake lever while holding the button.

D110A01P-GAT GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES
WARNING:
Nothing should be carried on top of the cargo area cover behind the rear seat. If there were an accident or a sudden stop, such objectscould move forward and cause dam- age to the vehicle or injure the oc- cupants.
o After being parked, check to be sure the parking brake is not engagedand that the parking brake indicator light is out before driving away.
o Driving through water may get the brakes wet. They can also get wetwhen the vehicle is washed. Your vehicle may not stop as quickly if thebrakes are wet and it may also pull to one side. To dry the brakes, apply the brakes lightly until the brakingaction returns to normal, taking care to keep the vehicle under control at all times. If the braking action doesnot return to normal, stop as soon as it is safe to do so and call your Hyundai dealer for assistance. o Don’t coast down hills with the ve-
hicle out of gear. This may be ex-tremely hazardous. Keep the vehicle in gear at all times, use the brakes to slow down, thenshift to a lower gear so that engine braking will help you maintain a safe speed.
o Don’t "ride" the brake pedal. Rest- ing your foot on the brake pedalwhile driving can be dangerous be-cause it can result in the brakes overheating and losing their effec- tiveness. It also increases the wearof the brake components.
o If a tire goes flat while you are
driving, apply the brakes gently andkeep the vehicle pointed straight ahead while you slow down. When you are moving slowly enough for itto be safe to do so, pull off the road and stop in a safe place.
o If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission, don’t letyour vehicle creep forward. To avoid creeping forward, keepyour foot on the brake pedal when the vehicle is stopped.
