B340C03FC-EAT Lighting Switch The vehicle sidelights and headlights are operated by rotating the end of the turn signal switch barrel. To operate the parking lights, rotating the switch to thefirst detent with ignition switch at the"OFF" position will cause the lights toilluminate. To operate the headlights,the turn signal switch barrel should be rotated to the second detent. The head- lights will only operate when the ignitionswitch is at the "ON" position. If theignition switch is turned to the "OFF" position, only the parking lights will function. NOTE: The ignition must be in the "ON" position to turn on the headlights.MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH
SB220A1-E Turn Signal Operation To signal an intention to turn right, the switch lever should be pressed down.To signal an intention to turn left, the switch lever should be pushed upwards. In both instances, the turn signal lightsthe instrument cluster warning light will flash. Upon completion of the manoeu- vre, the lever will, under normal circum-
stances, return to the "OFF" position. However, if the manoeuvre involved only a small movement of the steeringwheel, the signal may need to be can- celled manually. If either turn signal indicator flashes more rapidly than nor-mal or refuses to flash at all, a malfunc- tion of the turn signal system may exist. SB220B1-E Lane Change Signal To indicate an intention to change lanes, moving the lever slightly towards the direction of the relevant turn signal will cause the turn signal lights to flash.When the lever is released, it will return to the "OFF" position.

TO START THE ENGINEBEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
C020A01O-EAT Before you start the engine, you should always:
1. Look around the vehicle to be sure
there are no flat tyres, puddles of oil or 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 headrestraint to be sure they are intheir proper positions.
6. Close all 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. SC040A1-F COMBINATION IGNITION SWITCH AND STEERING LOCK
o If your Hyundai is equipped with a
manual transaxle, place the shift lever in neutral and depress the clutch pedal fully.
o If your Hyundai has an automatic
transaxle, place the shift lever in "P"(park).
o To start the engine, insert the ignition key and turn it to the "START" posi-tion. Release it as soon as the en- gine starts. Do not hold the key in the"START" position for more than 15 seconds.
NOTE: For safety, the engine will not start if the shift lever is not in "P" or "N" Position (automatic transaxle).
9. When you turn the ignition switch to
"ON" check that all appropriate warn- ing lights are operating and that you have sufficient fuel.
10.Check the operation of warning lights
and all bulbs when key is in the "ON"position.
WARNING (DIESEL ENGINE):
To ensure that sufficient vacuum ex- ists within the brake system during cold weather start-up conditions, it is necessary to run the engine at idle for several seconds after starting theengine.
!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).

TRAILER AND CARAVAN TOWING
!
C190E01FC-EAT
WARNING:
It is not recommended that the ve- hicle be used for towing until the first 1,000 miles of Running in has beencompleted. All Hyundai MATRIX models are suited to towing trailers and caravans up to the limits indi-cated on page 2-23. MATRIX models fitted with automatic transaxle have a transaxle oil cooler and furthertransaxle cooling should not be re- quired. Nose weight

these may damage the mechanism.
o The formation of snow or ice built up
inside the wheel arches may inter-fere with the road wheels or steering mechanism. In such instances, un-usual noises or an increase in steer- ing effort may result. Therefore, en- sure that the wheel arches arechecked periodically and any accu- mulated snow or ice removed.
o It is advisable to carry emergency equipment including, torch, shovel,tow rope, blankets etc., if a journey is to be undertaken into areas of severeroad conditions.

SC200B3-E TOWING ATTACHMENTS It is strongly recommended that only an Hyundai Approved towing attachmentis used to ensure that the loads placed upon the body structure are correctly distributed. The use of a non approvedattachment will result in the invalidation of the vehicle warranty. Hyundai towing attachments are designed and con-structed to ensure maximum towing performance and ease of fitment. A range of accessories including electri-cal kits are available through the Hyundai authorised repairer network. It is of the utmost importance that those areas of the vehicle which are sub- jected to greater stress during towing are maintained in accordance with therecommendations given at the end of this book. In addition, the daily operat- ing checks relating to engine oil, trans-mission oil and tyres must be per- formed at each refuelling to ensure maximum reliability and safety.The use of a proprietary stabiliser will assist in achieving an inherently stable outfit but whilst the use of such equip-ment will improve the characteristics of a balanced outfit, it will not compensatefor a badly loaded and therefore un-stable outfit. The tyres and braking equipment fitted to the trailer or caravan must be main-tained in accordance with the recom- mendations of the manufacturer. Spe- cial attention should be paid to tyreswhich deteriorate through time and ex- posure rather than as a result of the distances towed. The inside walls ofthe tyres should be inspected along with the outside walls for cracking and damage. The trailer wheel nut torquemust be checked on a regular basis, preferably before each towing session. The trailer hitch and the safety catch mechanism must be maintained in good working order. The trailer break away cable or chain should be inspected fordamage and should be attached to the vehicle towing attachment each and every time the trailer is hitched to thevehicle. Whilst towing, the performance of the vehicle will be reduced in terms ofacceleration, braking and handling due
to the increased loads placed upon thevehicle. The driver should anticipatethe change in characteristics and ad- just the driving style in keeping with these changes. Care should be exer-cised when cornering and braking to prevent the outfit becoming uncontrol- lable by reducing cornering speeds andallowing increased braking distances. The driver should exercise care to en- sure that when pulling away from restparticularly on uphill gradients the clutch unit is not subjected to excessive slip- page which will reduce the useful life ofthis component. Use of the "Overdrive Off" "2" and "L" positions when driving vehicles with automatic transmissionwill assist with braking performance when long down hill gradients are en- countered. Improved acceleration per-formance will be available by selecting "Overdrive Off","2", or "1" depending upon road speed if it is found that thetransmission unit makes an undesir- able upshift whilst hill climbing or over- taking. The transmission unit should beoperated in "D" with the Overdrive "On" under normal circumstances to enhance fuel economy and reduce noise andengine wear.

3 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
2IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START
SD020B1-E If the Engine Cannot be Cranked
1. If the vehicle is fitted with manualtransaxle, ensure that the clutch pedal is depressed whilst cranking the engine. If the vehicle is fitted with automatic transaxle, ensure that the transaxle
selector is at the "P" or "N" position.
2. Check the battery terminals and con-
nections to ensure that these areclean and also tight.
3. If the ignition warning lights dim when
the engine is cranked and the batteryterminals have been checked, a dis- charged battery is indicated.
4. Do not attempt to push or tow start
the vehicle, refer to "Jump Starting"for information regarding engine start- ing when the battery is discharged. D010C02A-EAT If Engine Turns Over Normally but Does Not Start
D010B01FC 1. Check fuel level.
2. With the key in the "OFF" position,check all connectors at ignition coilsand spark plugs(For Petrol Engine)or check all connectors at glow plug and glow plug relay(For Diesel En- gine). Reconnect any that may bedisconnected or loose.
3. Check fuel line in the engine com-
partment.
4. If engine still refuses to start, call a Hyundai authorised repairer or seekother qualified assistance. SSA3020C
!
SD020A1-E Seek assistance from the nearest Hyundai authorised repairer with regardto the method of ignition and fuel sys- tem diagnosis.
CAUTION:
If the engine refuses to start, noattempt should be made to push or tow start the vehicle. Vehicles withautomatic transaxle or fuel injection will not be able to be started in this manner since no drive is transmittedthrough the automatic transaxle whilst the engine is not running, and in the case of fuel injected deriva-tives, the fuel pump will not operate under tow start conditions. In addi- tion, if the vehicle is equipped withan exhaust catalyst, damage to the catalyst may result if the vehicle is tow started.

!
!
!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. 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 (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30 seconds after shutting off engine. High pres-sure pump, rail, injectors and high pressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the enginestopped. The fuel jet produced by fuel leaks may cause serious injury, if it touches the body. People usingpacemakers should not move closer than 30cm etc. to the ECU or wiring harness within the engine roomwhilst engine is running, since the high currents in the Common Rail system produce considerable mag-netic fields.
!
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 up to the base of the radia-tor fill opening. Fill the coolant ex- pansion tank to the halfway mark. To ensure the correct water to cool-ant mix is obtained after top up, testing by an authorised repairer is required. 7. Proceed with caution until it is estab-
lished that the engine is operatingnormally. If the engine overheats repeatedly, the advice of a Hyundai authorised repairer should be sought.
CAUTION:
Serious loss of coolant indicatesthere is a leak in the cooling systemand this should be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundai authorised repairer.
