o Keep your car clean. For maximumservice, your Hyundai should be kept clean and free of corrosive materi- als. It is especially important that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed toaccumulate on the underside of the car. This extra weight can result in increased fuel consumption and alsocontribute to corrosion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unneces-
sary weight in your car. Weight re-duces fuel economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than
necessary. If you are waiting (andnot in traffic), turn off your engine and restart only when you're ready to go.
o Remember, your Hyundai does not require extended warm-up. After theengine has started, allow the engine to run for 10 to 20 seconds prior toplacing the vehicle in gear. In very cold weather, however, give your engine a slightly longer warm-up pe-riod. o Don't "labour" or "over-rev" the en-
gine. Labouring is driving too slowlyin too high a gear resulting in the vehicle kangarooing. If this happens, shift to a lower gear. Over-revving isracing the engine beyond its safe limit. This can be avoided by shifting at the recommended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air conditioning system is oper-ated by engine power so your fueleconomy is reduced when you use it.SMOOTH CORNERING
C150A01A-EAT Avoid braking or gear changing in cor- ners, especially when roads are wet. Ideally, corners should always be taken under gentle acceleration. If you followthese suggestions, tyre wear will be held to a minimum.

ZC170C1-E Anti-freeze/Corrosion inhibitor The cooling system must always con- tain an Ethylene-Glycol based anti-freeze solution. The system is filled during manufacture with solution of the correct strength which should bechecked before the onset of winter and adjusted or changed as required. NOTE: The anti-freeze solution contains a corrosion inhibitor to prevent degra- dation of the aluminium castingscontained within the engine. There- fore, never, drain the system and refill with water only. In addition, anti-freeze solution must ALWAYS be used in vehicles fitted withair conditioning, to prevent the heater matrix from freezing and subsequently bursting with the refrigeration system inuse.WINTER MOTORING
DC170A1-E The onset of winter conditions subject motor vehicles to greater operating de- mands. Therefore, the following sug- gestions will assist in maintaining peakperformance and reliability during these periods: ZC170B1-E Electrical System Winter conditions impose severe de- mands upon vehicle electrical systems,particularly the charging circuit. The battery condition and performance along with the alternator performance anddrive belt condition should be checked prior to the onset of winter. ZC170D1-E Door Locks Should the door lock mechanism be- come frozen, a proprietary lock de-icershould be used. Alternatively, warming the door key may thaw the door lock. However, the key should be handledcarefully to avoid burning the fingers. Never attempt to thaw a frozen door lock using hot water, since the waterwill eventually freeze and compound the problem. NOTE: The proper temperature for using the immobiliser key is from -40°C to 80°C (-40°F to 176°F). If you heat theimmobiliser key over 80°C (176°F) to open the frozen lock, it may cause damage to the transponder in itshead.

ZC170E1-E Windscreen Washers & Wipers The windscreen washer bottle should be filled with a solution of water and aproprietary winter screen wash addi- tive. The windscreen wipers should not be used if the blades are frozen to thewindscreen or if they are covered with snow, before this is removed. NOTE: Never allow undiluted screen washer fluid additive to spill upon the paintwork or use engine coolant anti-freeze since damage to the paintwork may result.
o When driving in extreme conditions,the windscreen wiper blades may fail to clear the screen properly due tothe formation of ice upon the blade edge. It will therefore be necessary to periodically remove such ice torestore their efficiency.
o If the power operated door mirrors
become frozen, attempts to adjustthese may damage the mechanism. o The formation of snow or ice build up
inside the wheel arches may inter-fere with the roadwheels or steering mechanism. In such instances, un- usual noises or an increase in steer-ing effort may result. Therefore, en- sure that the wheelarches are checked 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 severe road conditions.TRAILER OR VEHICLE TOWING
YC200A2-E If you are considering towing with your car, you should first check with your Local Laws to determine their legal requirements.Since laws vary from county to county, the requirements for towing trailers, cars, or other types of vehicles or appa-ratus may differ. Ask your Hyundai authorised repairer for further details before towing.
CAUTION:
Do not carry out any towing withyour car during it's first 1000 miles inorder to allow both the engine to have properly run-in and the clutch (manual transaxle) to have correctlybedded-in. Failure to heed this cau- tion may result in serious engine or transaxle damage.

13. Avoid holding the brake pedal downtoo long or too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat, re- sulting in reduced braking efficiency.
14. When going down a hill, shift into a
lower gear and use the engine brak-ing effect. When climbing a long grade, down-shift the transaxle to a lower gear and reduce speed to reduce chances of engine overloading and/or over-heating.
15. If you have to stop whilst going
uphill, do not hold the vehicle inplace by pressing on the accelera- tor. This can cause the automatic transaxle to overheat. Use the park-ing brake or footbrake.
NOTE: When towing, check transaxle fluid more frequently.
8. When parking your car and trailer,
especially on a hill, be sure to followall the normal precautions. Turn your front wheels into the curb, set the parking brake firmly, and put thetransaxle in 1st or Reverse (manual) or Park (automatic). In addition we advise the use of wheel chocks ateach of the trailer's tyres.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start
your vehicle and trailer moving, andthen apply the trailer brake controller by hand to be sure the brakes are working. This lets you check yourelectrical connection at the same time.
10. During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure,and that the lights and any trailer brakes are still working.
11. Avoid jerky starts, sudden accel- eration or sudden stops.
12. Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.
YC200E3-E Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check towbar ball and
safety cable connections as well as proper operation of the trailer running lights, brake lights, and turn signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a mod-
erate speed (Less than 60 mph).
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than
normal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking effi- ciency, do not tow a trailer with the transaxle in fifth gear (manual transaxle) or overdrive (automatic transaxle).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift whilst driving.
6. Check the condition and air pressure of all tyres on the trailer and your car. Low tyre pressure can seriously af- fect the handling. Also check thespare tyre.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is
more affected by crosswind and buf-feting. When being passed by a large vehicle, keep a constant speed and steer straight ahead. If there is toomuch wind buffeting, slow down to get out of the other vehicle's air turbulence.

1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Reduce highway speed.
3. Select a lower gear when going uphill.
4. Whilst in stop and go traffic, place
the gear selector in park or neutraland idle the engine at a higher speed.

3 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
2IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START
!
SD020A1-E Seek assistance from the nearest Hyundai authorised repairer with regard to the method of ignition and fuel sys- tem diagnosis.
WARNING:
If the engine refuses to start, noattempt should be made to push ortow start the vehicle. Vehicles with automatic transaxle or fuel injec- tion will not be able to be started in this manner since no drive is trans- mitted through the automatictransaxle whilst the engine is not running, and in the case of fuel injected derivatives, the fuel pumpwill not operate under tow start conditions. In addition, if the ve- hicle is equipped with an exhaustcatalyst, damage to the catalyst may result if the vehicle is tow started. SD020B1-E If the Engine Cannot be Cranked
D010C01A-EATIf Engine Turns Over Normally but Does Not Start
1. Check fuel level.
2. With the key in the off position,Check all connectors at ignition coils and spark plugs. Reconnect any that may be disconnected or loose.
3. Check the fuel line in the engine room.
4. If engine still refuses to start, call a Hyundai authorised repairer or seek other qualified assistance.
1. If the vehicle is fitted with manual
transaxle, ensure that the clutch pedal is depressed whilst cranking the engine. If the vehicle is fitted with automatic transaxle, ensurethat the transaxle selector is at the "P" or"N" position.
2. Check the battery terminals and connections to ensure that theseare clean 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. D010B01GK
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.

7. Switch "ON" the main beam
headlamps before carefully remov- ing the jumper cables have been removed, switch "OFF" the main beam headlamps. SD040A2-E If the temperature gauge indicates overheating:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as
it is safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P"
(automatic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the car or steam is coming out fromunder the bonnet stop the engine. Do not open the bonnet until thecoolant has stopped running or the steaming has stopped. If there is no visible loss of coolant and no steam,leave the engine running and check to be sure the engine cooling fan is operating.If the fan is not running, turn the engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is broken. If it is not missing,check to see that it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be satisfactory,check for coolant leaking from the radiator, hoses or under the car. (If the air conditioning had been in use,it is normal for cold water to be draining from it).
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
1. Ensure that the booster battery is 12 volt type. If the booster battery is installed in another vehicle, ensure that the two vehicles are not touch- ing.
2. Turn off all unnecessary electrical equipment in both vehicles.
3. Ensure that the engine of the ve- hicle providing the jump start is run- ning prior to connection of the jump cables.
4. Connect the red jump cable to the positive (+) terminal of the boosterbattery and the other end to thepositive (+) terminal of the dis- charged battery.
5. Attach the black jump cable to the negative (-) terminal of the boosterbattery, and the other end to a ground point within the engine compartmentof the vehicle with the flat battery. Do not connect to the negative battery terminal of the flat battery sincesparks may be generated with the subsequent risk of explosion.
6. Raise the booster vehicle engine speed to 2,000 r.p.m. and start theengine of the vehicle with the flat battery. CAUTION:
If the jump cables are incorrectlyinstalled, damage to the vehicle elec-trical system may occur, in particu- lar the electronic components such as the Fuel Injection system com- puter and the Automatic Transaxle computer. The battery must neverbe disconnected whilst the engine is running.

2PROTECTING YOUR HYUNDAI FROM CORROSION
ZE020A1-E In using the most advanced design and construction practices, every Hyundai is built to retain its original factory finish for many years. How-ever, long term durability is also greatly dependant upon maintaining the vari- ous protection systems and coatingsused in manufacture since constant exposure to the elements will eventu- ally result in their breakdown and lossof effectiveness. The following sug- gestions are made to assist in the maintenance of the vehicle bodywork. ZE020B1-E UNDERBODY COATINGS Every Hyundai passenger car receives a full underbody and cavity injectiontreatment during production. In order that this treatment may retain maxi- mum effectiveness, it is recommendedthat the underbody receives a power wash and a thorough inspection after each winter season. In doing so anyaccumulations of mud, which act as moisture traps and combine with road salts to accelerate corrosion, will beremoved. Should any damage to or deterioration of the underbody coating be apparent, the advice of a Hyundaiauthorised repairer regarding the use of a compatible repair material should be sought. NOTE: The underbody should never be steam cleaned since the underbody coating may be removed by thisprocess. During the interim period between power washing the underbody, themore vulnerable areas such as wheelarches should be hosed off, particularly during the winter sea-son to prevent prolonged contact of road salt with the body. Ensure that the various drain pointslocated at bottom of the door pan- els are kept clear, to prevent water becoming trapped within the cavi-ties. Wherever possible, the park- ing of the vehicle in a confined, poorly ventilated location (e.g.)garage should be avoided when the vehicle is wet or covered with snow or ice. Under these conditions, theinternal cavities of the vehicle will remain damp for long periods of time which encourage corrosion.Parking the vehicle where good ventilation exists is preferable.
