5. Avoid idling the engine for prolonged
periods with people inside the car. If it is unavoidable, however, be sure to do so in an open area and adjust the heating or cooling system toforce outside into the vehicle.
6. Make sure that the ventilation air
intakes located just in front of thewindshield are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions, to assure proper operation of the ven-tilation system.
7. Get the back door closed while driv-
ing. An incompletely closed backdoor may cause exhaust fumes to be drawn into the vehicle. If you must drive with the back door opento accommodate a large object, close the windows, open the dash- board vents and have the heating orcooling system deliver fresh air into the vehicle by turning the fan to high speeds with the air intake controllever set in the "Fresh" position (Mini- bus, Van).

o Slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. This will help avoid over-running the engine, which can cause damage.
o Slow down when you encounter
cross winds. This gives you muchbetter control of your car.
o Be sure the vehicle is completely stopped before you attempt to shiftinto reverse. The transmission can be damaged if you do not. To shiftinto reverse, depress the clutch, move the shift lever to neutral, wait three seconds, then shift to the re-verse position.
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 abruptchange in engine speed can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle to go out of control. WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lanechanges or fast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts. In a collision crash, an unbeltedperson is significantly more likelyto die than a person wearing a seatbelt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly in-
creased if you lose control ofyour vehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the roadway and the driver oversteersto reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer sharply.Instead, slow down before pull- ing back into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed lim- its.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
D060A01P-GAT (Minibus/Van) (If installed) The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transmission has four forward speedsand one reverse speed. It has a con- ventional shift pattern as shown in the illustration.At night, with the side markers or head- lights switched on, the appropriate symbol on the quadrant will be illumi-nated according to the range selected. D060A01P
CAUTION:
Never shift into "R" or "P" positionwhile the vehicle is moving.

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.

o The driving posture should be more
upright and closer to the wheel than usual; adjust the seat to a good position for easy steering and pedal operation.
o Be sure to wear the seat belt.
o Drive carefully when off the road
and avoid dangerous areas.
o 4WD has higher ground clearance and a narrower track to make them capable of performing in a widevariety of off road applications. Spe- cific design characteristics give them a higher center of gravity than ordi-nary cars. An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better view of the road allowing you to anticipateproblems. They are not designed for cornering at the same speeds as conventional 2-wheel drive vehiclesany more than low-slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfacto- rily under off-road conditions. If at allpossible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate thisvehicle correctly may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover.

3 STARTING AND OPERATING
20BRAKE SYSTEM
D150A01P-GAT All the parts of the brake system are critical to safety. Have the vehicle ser- viced by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer at regular intervals according tothe service standards.
(1) The service brake is divided into two brake circuits so that when one brake circuit fails, the other is avail- able to stop the vehicle. If this oc-curs, however, the brake pedal must be depressed further than usual; stop driving as soon as possibleand have the brake system ser- viced at the nearest authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
(2) Do not place a thick floor mat around the brake pedal; doing so couldprevent the full pedal stroke thatwould be necessary in an emer- gency. Make sure that the pedal can be operated freely at all times.
(3) If the vehicle is equipped with a brake warning lamp, the lamp willlight up if the brake fluid level isabnormally low.
o Do not grip the inside or spokes of
the steering wheel when driving off-road. The steering wheel could jerk and injure your hands. Always firmly hold the outer steering wheel whenyou are driving off-road.
o Drive at lower speeds in strong
crosswinds. Because of yourvehicle’s high center of gravity, its stability will be affected in cross- winds. Slower speeds ensure bettervehicle control.
o Whenever you drive off-road through
sand, mud or water as deep as thewheel hub, more frequent mainte- nance may be required.
o Do not drive in water if the level is higher than the bottom of the wheelhubs.
o Check your brake condition once you are out of mud or water. Pressthe brake several times as you move slowly until your feel normal brakingforces return.
o Four-wheel driving on flat and nor-
mal roads can result in a severebinding condition when turning the steering wheel. Driving on dry paved road and highway Select 2H(2WD) to drive on dry paved roads. Especially on dry highway, neverselect the 4H or 4L(4WD). Driving on snowy or icy roads Select the 4H or 4L in accordance with the road conditions, and then gradu- ally depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start. Driving on sandy or muddy roads Select the 4H or 4L and then gradually depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start. Keep the pressure on the accelerator pedal constant as pos-sible, and drive at low speed. Climbing sharp grades Select the 4L to maximize use the engine torque. Descending sharp grades Select 4L, use the engine brake and descend slowly.
