INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
SB215A1-E FUEL GAUGE The fuel gauge indicates the quantity of fuel remaining in the fuel tank. NOTE: The fuel gauge is not intended to give other than an approximate indi- cation of the fuel level and is unsuit- able for the purposes of calculatingfuel consumption figures.
SB210S1-E BRAKE PAD WEAR INDICATOR The front brake disc pads are fitted with an audible wear indicator which will cause a high pitched noise to be emit-ted when the remaining amount of fric- tion lining is below the specified value. When the wear indicator is heard, thebrake pads should be replaced without delay to avoid damage occurring to the brake discs and a severe reduction inbraking efficiency. B950A01E-EAT REAR FOG AUDIBLE WARNING SOUND The rear fog audible warning chime sounds when the rear fog lights are onand the door in driver side is open.
The engine coolant temperature gaugeindicates the engine coolant tempera-ture and will, under normal circum- stances, give an indication in the "Nor- mal" or centre portion of the scale.Should the indication move into the
upper or "HOT" portion of the scale, engine overheating is indicated. Underthese circumstances, the vehicle should be brought to rest as soon as is safe to do so and the engine turned off. Oncethe engine has cooled somewhat, the coolant level and the condition of the generator/water pump drive belt shouldbe checked.

72HATCHBACK DOOR
o Automotive fuels are flammable/
explosive materials. When refuel- ing, please note the following guidelines carefully.
o Before touching the fuel nozzle or fuel filler cap, have one's hands incontact with metal parts away from the filler neck to discharge staticelectricity.
o Do not get back in the vehicle
whilst refueling. Do not operateanything that can produce static electricity. Static electricity dis- charge can ignite fuel vapors re-sulting in explosion.
o When using a portable fuel con-
tainer be sure to place the con-tainer on the ground whilst refuel- ing. Static electricity discharge from the container can ignite fuelvapors causing a fire. Whilst start- ing refueling contact should be maintained until the filling is com-plete. o Do not use cellular phones around
a gas station. The electric currentor electronic interference from cellular phones can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
o When refueling always shut the engine off. Sparks by electricalequipment of the engine can ig-nite fuel vapors causing a fire. After refueling, check to make sure the fuel filler cap is securely closed,and then start the engine.
o Do not smoke or try to light ciga-
rettes around a gas station. Auto-motive fuels are flammable.

B750A02A-AAT How Car Audio Works AM and FM radio signals are broadcast from transmitter towers located around your city. They are intercepted by theradio antenna on your car. This signal is then received by the radio and sent to your car speakers.When a strong radio signal has reached your vehicle, the precise engineering of your audio system ensures high qualityreproduction. However, in some cases the signal coming to your vehicle is not strong and clear. This can be dueto factors such as the distance from the radio station, closeness of other strong radio stations or the presence of build-ings, bridges and other large obstruc- tions in the area.STEREO SOUND SYSTEM

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).

C055B01B-GAT STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE FOR TURBOCHARGER INTERCOOLER(DIESEL ENGINE)
(1) Do not race the engine or suddenly
accelerate the engine immediately after starting it. If the engine is cold,allow the engine to idle for several seconds before it is driven to ensure sufficient lubrication of the turbocharger unit.
(2) After high speed or extended driv-
ing, requiring a heavy engine load,the engine should be allowed to idle about 1 minute before turning it off. This idle time will allow the turbocharger to cool prior to shutting the engine off.
WARNING:
Do not turn the engine off immedi- ately after it has been subjected to a heavy load. Doing so may cause severe damage to the engine or turbocharger unit. SC060B1-E FUEL ECONOMY The following suggestions are made to assist in achieving the greatest degreeof fuel economy.
o Maintaining a constant check on fuel
consumption will enable the most economical use pattern and driving style to be adopted.
o Avoid using the vehicle for very short journeys if possible, particularly whena cold start is involved.
o Ensure that tyre pressures are main- tained at the correct level.
o Use only the recommended grade of fuel.
o Avoid carrying unnecessary weight,
and if a roof rack is in use, remove itas soon as possible after use.
o Anticipate the road and conditions
ahead to enable adjustments in speedto be made smoothly. Avoid heavy acceleration and sharp braking.
o Avoid cruising at unnecessary high speeds. o Always ensure that the periodic main-
tenance services are performed by a Hyundai authorised repairer at the time and/or mileage intervals speci- fied.
o Use the air conditioning only when necessary.
