DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
17
o Apply the parking brake only when the vehicle is at rest.
o Since the power assistance provided by the brake servo is derived from the engine, coasting with the engineturned off or towing of the vehicle with the engine turned off will result in greatly increased pedal pressuresbeing required to stop the vehicle.
o Do not hold the vehicle on an incline
with the accelerator pedal. This cancause the transmission to overheat. Always use the brake pedal or park- ing brake.
o Use caution when parking on a hill. Engage the parking brake and placethe gear selector lever in "P" (auto-matic transaxle) or in first or reverse gear (manual transaxle). If your car is facing downhill, turn the frontwheels into the curb to help keep the car from rolling. If your car is facing uphill, turn the front wheels awayfrom the curb to help keep the car from rolling. If there is no curb or if it is required by other conditions tokeep the car from rolling, block the wheels.DRIVING FOR ECONOMY
C140A02A-EAT You can save fuel and get more miles from your car if you follow these sug- gestions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate rate. Don't make "jack- rabbit" starts or full-throttle shiftsand maintain a steady cruising speed. Don't race between stoplights. Try to adjust your speed to that of the othertraffic so you don't have to change speeds unnecessarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible. Alwaysmaintain a safe distance from other vehicles so you can avoid unneces- sary braking. This also reduces brakewear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster
you drive, the more fuel your caruses. Driving at a moderate speed, especially on the motorway, is one of the most effective ways to reducefuel consumption.
o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal.
This can increase fuel consumptionand also increase wear on these components. In addition, driving with your foot resting on the brake pedalmay cause the brakes to overheat, which reduces their effectivenessand may lead to more serious conse-quences.
o Take care of your tyres. Keep them
inflated to the recommended pres-sure. Incorrect inflation, either too much or too little, results in unneces- sary tyre wear. Check the tyre pres-sures at least once a month.
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned
correctly. Improper alignment canresult from hitting curbs or driving too fast over irregular surfaces. Poor alignment causes faster tyre wearand may also result in other prob- lems as well as greater fuel con- sumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For better fuel economy and reducedmaintenance costs, maintain yourcar in accordance with the mainte- nance schedule in Section 5. If you drive your car in severe conditions,more frequent maintenance is re- quired (see Section 5 for details).

JE090A1-E Accident Repairs In the event of the body work sustain- ing damage, the following points shouldbe noted prior to repairs being under- taken. If body panels are replaced or re-paired, anti corrosion treatment must be applied to the repair area. The product used must be compatible withthose used in manufacture. It is rec- ommended that repairs are entrusted to a Hyundai authorised repairer to en-sure that replacement parts used are of the same high quality as those used in manufacture of the vehicle and that thecorrect repair methods and materials will ensure adequate levels of corrosion protection and the continued validity ofthe Anti Perforation Warranty. JE100A1-E Seat Belts Seat belts should be cleaned only with a mild soap solution. Strong deter- gents, solvents or bleaches may dam- age the belt webbing and thereforereduce the effectiveness of the belt. Belts which display signs of fraying, wear or cuts should be replaced.
JE110A1-E The soft trim and carpets should be maintained with the regular use of a vacuum cleaner. Heavy soiling should be removed with a dry cleaning agentrecommended for this purpose follow- ing the instructions of the product manufacturer. Paint thinner, solventsor other such cleaning materials should not be used since damage to the up- holstery may result.
JE120A1-E Windows A proprietary glass cleaner should be used to clean the inside of the win-dows. However, the rear heated windscreen must only be cleaned us- ing a light horizontal cleaning action.Care should be exercised to avoid the use of abrasive cleaners or contact with items of jewellery which may dam-age the heating elements. YE010A1-E To Clean Leather Upholstery (Not all models) In the normal course of use, leather upholstered surfaces will, like any material, pick-up dust and dirt. This dust and dirt MUST be cleaned off or itmay work into the surface of the leather, causing damage.

SG140D1-E
Off Season Maintenance
The air conditioning must be run for
ten minutes or so weekly during peri- ods when the system would not nor- mally be used to ensure that thecompressor and seals are lubricated. If this precaution is not observed the compressor seals may become stuckto the compressor shaft and dam- aged when the system is next used resulting in a loss of refrigerant anddamage to the compressor.
!
SG140C2-E
Checking the Refrigerant
1. Start the engine and run at idle for
several minutes with the refrigera- tion system running at the coldest setting.
2. If the air coming out of the in-dash vents is not cold, have the air con-ditioning system inspected by your Hyundai authorised repairer.
CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning sys-tem for extended periods of time with a low refrigerant level maydamage the compressor.
CHANGING THE CLIMATE CONTROL AIR FILTER
G145A03GK-EAT
(In front of blower unit)(Not all models)
The climate control air filter is located in front of the blower unit behind the glove box. It helps to decrease the amount of pollutants entering the car.
1. Remove the mounting screws on the downside of the glove box. OGK076020R

7EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
2
SH010A1-E (Not all models) Depending upon the market for which the vehicle is destined, the emission control system will comprise one or more of the following emission controldevices.
(1) Crankcase emission control sys-
tem
(2) Evaporative emission control sys- tem
(3) Exhaust emission control systemIn order that the proper functioning of the emission control systems may be ensured, it is recommended that the vehicle is inspected and maintainedby a Hyundai authorised repairer in accordance with the maintenance schedule in this manual. EMISSION CONTROL SYS- TEMS
DH010B1-E
1. Crankcase Emission Control
System
The positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system is employed to prevent air pollution caused by blow-by gases being emitted from the crankcase. This system supplies fresh air to the crankcase through the air cleaner. In- side the crankcase, the fresh air mixeswith blow-by gases, then passes through the PCV valve into the intake system. When the engine is running, the fuelvapors absorbed in the canister aredrawn into the induction system through the purge control solenoid valve. Purge Control Solenoid Valve The purge control solenoid valve is controlled by the ECU (Engine Control Unit); when the engine coolant tem- perature is low, and during idling, itcloses, so that evaporated fuel is not taken into the surge tank. After engine warm-up, during ordinary driving, itopens to introduce evaporated fuel to the surge tank.
JH010D1-E
3. Exhaust Emission Control
System
This system helps control oxides of
nitrogen by recirculating a portion of the exhaust gases into the intake manifold, thereby reducing cylinder combustion temperatures.
ZH010C1-E
2. Evaporative Emission
Control System
The Evaporative Emission Control System is designed to prevent fuelvapors from escaping into the atmo- sphere. Canister Whilst the engine is inoperative, fuel vapors generated inside the fuel tank are absorbed and stored in the canis- ter.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
3CATALYTIC CONVERTOR
SH020A1-E (Not all models) Hyundai Coupe models are fitted with catalytic convertors which require spe- cial operating considerations. The cata-lytic convertor serves to oxidize cer- tain noxious elements of the exhaust gases leaving the engine to reduce thelevel of pollutants emitted from the vehicle and, provided that care is ex- ercised to prevent damage, the cata-lyst will operate efficiently for the life of the vehicle. It is of the utmost importance that the following information is read and un- derstood by the vehicle operator in order to prevent operational problemsarising from damage to the catalyst. Damage to the catalyst will result ifcontamination occurs through the useof leaded fuel. Whilst the vehicle is fitted with a reduced diameter filler neck to prevent charging of the fueltank with a leaded fuel pump nozzle, it is possible that the use of funnels or fuel cans will permit leaded fuel to beintroduced into the fuel tank.The catalyst is intolerant of unburntfuel and therefore if an engine misfirecondition exists, damage to the cata- lyst will occur. It is imperative that if a misfire condition develops, the ve-hicle is immediately presented to a Hyundai authorised repairer for rectifi- cation. Similarly, the practice of cer-tain ignition system diagnosis proce- dures which involve inducing a misfire (cylinder power balance tests for ex-ample) may result in catalyst damage.For these reasons, it is advisable thatthe exhaust gas emission be tested at each routine service with a gas analyzer having a Hydrocarbon mea-suring facility to ensure continued re- liability of the catalyst.
Catalytic Converter
OGK076501 Push or tow starting of the vehicle is to be avoided since unburnt fuel mayenter the catalyst and result in dam- age. (Note, it is impossible to push or tow start a Hyundai model equippedwith fuel injection since the fuel pump safety interlock will prevent the pump from operating under these conditions). Operation of the catalyst involves ex- tremely high temperatures being at- tained within the catalytic convertor,and although the convertor is fitted with heat shields, it is important that the vehicle is not parked over combus-tible or volatile material which may result in fire. If the above precautions are not ad- hered to and the catalyst becomes inoperative, the resultant increase incore temperature will result in a "melt down" where the catalyst core will melt and subsequently may block theexhaust system.Due to the fragile nature of the cata-lyst element, it is important that dam-age does not occur when the vehicle is raised by means of a garage jack. Care must also be exercised to avoiddriving over road hazards or debris which may cause damage to the cata- lyst element.
