CHECKING THE BATTERY
o If battery fluid is on your skin, flushthe affected areas with water for at least 15 minutes and then seek medi- cal assistance.
o If battery fluid is in your eyes, rinse
out your eyes with water and getmedical assistance as soon as pos- sible. While you are being driven toget medical assistance, continue to rinse your eyes by using a sponge or soft cloth saturated with water.
o If you swallow battery fluid, drink a large quantity of water or milk fol-lowed by milk of magnesia, eat araw egg or drink vegetable oil. Get medical assistance as soon as pos- sible.
While batteries are being charged (ei- ther by a battery charger or by the vehicle's alternator), they produce ex-plosive gases. Always observe these warnings to reduce the risk of injury:
o Charge batteries only in a well ven- tilated area.
o Do not permit flames, sparks or smoking in the area.
o Keep children away from the area.

G210B01Y-AAT Checking the Battery Keep the battery clean. Any evidence of corrosion around the battery postsor terminals should be removed using a solution of household baking soda and warm water. After the battery ter-minals are dry, cover them with a light coating of grease.
WARNING:
Always read the following instructions carefully when handling a battery.Keep lighted cigarettes and all other flames or sparks away from the battery.Hydrogen, which is a highly combustible gas, is always present in battery cells andmay explode if ignited. Keep batteries out of the reach of children becausebatteries contain highly cor- rosive SULFURIC ACID. Do not allow battery acid to con-tact your skin, eyes, cloth- ing or paint finish.
If any electrolyte gets into your eyes, flush your eyes with clean water for at least15 minutes and get immedi- ate medical attention. If pos- sible, continue to applywater with a sponge or cloth until medical attention is re- ceived.If electrolyte gets on your skin, thoroughly wash the contacted area.If you feel a pain or a burn- ing sensation, get medical attention immediately.Wear eye protection when charging or working near a battery.Always provide ventilation when working in an en- closed space.
o When lifting a plastic-cased bat- tery, excessive pressure on thecase may cause battery acid to leak, resulting in personal injury. Lift with a battery carrier or withyour hands on opposite corners.

G220B01A-AAT Checking Engine Cooling Fan The engine coolant fan should come on automatically if the engine coolanttemperature is high. G220C01TB-GAT Checking Condenser Cooling Fan When the air conditioning is in opera- tion, the condenser cooling fan comeson automatically, being controlled by
the engine ECU.
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extremecaution when working near the blades of the coolant fan, so that you are not injured by a rotating fanblade. As the engine coolant temper- ature decreases the fan will automat- ically shut off. This is a normal con-dition. The power steering fluid level should be checked regularly. To check the power steering fluid level,be sure the ignition is "OFF", then check to make certain that the power steering fluid level is between the "MAX"and "MIN" level markings on the fluid reservoir.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
3CATALYTIC CONVERTER
H020A01A-DAT
(If Installed)
The catalytic converter is part of the
exhaust emission control system. Its purpose is to remove certain engineemission products from the engine's exhaust. It looks something like a muffler and is located underneath thecar in the exhaust system. H020B02A-DAT
About the Catalytic Converter
Exhaust gases passing through the
catalytic converter cause it to operate at very high temperatures. As a re- sult, the introduction of large amountsof unburned petrol may cause it to overheat and create a fire hazard. This can be avoided by observing the fol-lowing:
H020A01MCCatalytic Converter!WARNING:
o Use unleaded fuel only.
o Maintain your engine in good con- dition. Extremely high converter temperatures can result from im-proper operation of the electrical, ignition or fuel injection systems.
o If your engine stalls, pings, knocks, or is hard to start, takeyour car to your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible and have thedifficulty corrected.
o Avoid driving with a very low fuel
level. If you run out of petrol, it could cause the engine to misfire and result in excessive loading ofthe catalytic converter. o Avoid idling the engine for peri-
ods longer than 10 minutes.
o Your Hyundai should not be ei- ther pushed or pulled to get itstarted. This can cause the cata-lytic converter to overload.
o Take care not to stop your Hyundai over any combustible material such as grass, paper, leaves or rags. As these materials couldcome in contact with the catalytic converter and could cause a fire.
o Do not touch the catalytic con- verter or any other part of the exhaust system while the engineis running as it is very hot and could result in burns.
o Remember that your Hyundai dealer is your best source of as-sistance.
o Do not park, idle or drive your vehicle over any combustible ma- terial such as grass, paper, leavesor rags. These materials might contact the hot catalytic converter and a fire might result.

I060A02A-DAT TYRE ROTATION
Tyres should be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000 miles). If you notice that tyres are wearing unevenly betweenrotations, have the car checked by a Hyundai dealer so the cause may be corrected.After rotating, adjust the tyre pres- sures and be sure to check wheel nut torque. WARNING:
Do not mix bias-ply and radial-plyunder any circumstances. This may cause dangerous handling charac- teristics.
Spare tyre!
I050A01MC-DAT TYRE CHAINS Tyre chains, if necessary should be installed on the front wheels. Be surethat the chains are installed in accor- dance with the manufacturer's instruc- tions.To minimise tyre and chain wear, do not continue to use tyre chains when they are no longer needed.
WARNING:
o If your vehicle is equipped with 205/45R16 size tyres, do not in- stall tyre chains. This may causedamage to the vehicle (wheels,suspension and body) by chainscontacting the body.
o When driving on roads covered with snow or ice, drive at less than30 km/h (20 mph).
o Use the SAE "S" class or wire & plastic chains. o If you have noise caused by chains
contacting the body, retighten thechain to avoid contact with thevehicle body.
o To prevent body damage, retighten the chains after driving 0.5~1 km.
o Don't use tyre chains on a vehicle equipped with aluminium wheels.If it is unavoidable, use wire typechains.
o Use wire chains less than 15 mm to prevent damage to the chain'sconnection.

I090A003MC-DAT WHEN TO REPLACE TYRES
The original tyres on your car have tread wear indicators. The location of tread wear indicators is shown by the"TWI" or "
" marks, etc., The tread
wear indicators appear when the tread depth is 1.6 mm (0.06 in). The tyreshould be replaced when these appear as a solid bar across two or more grooves of the tread. Always replaceyour tyres with those of the recom- mended size. If you change wheels, the new wheel's rim width and offset mustbe those specified by Hyundai. WARNING:
o Driving on worn-out tyres is dan- gerous! Worn-out tyres can causeloss of braking effectiveness, steering control and traction. When replacing tyres, never mix radialand bias-ply tyres on the same car. If you replace radial tyres with bias-ply tyres, they must be in-stalled in sets of four.
o Using tyres and wheels of other
than the recommended sizes maycause unusual handling charac- teristics that may cause death, serious injury or property dam-age.
o Tyres degrade over time, even when
they are not being used. Regard-less of the remaining tread, it is recommended that tyres generally be replaced after six (6) years ofnormal service. Heat caused by hot climates or frequent high loading conditions can accelerate the ag-ing process. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tyre failure, which could lead to a lossof control and an accident involv- ing serious injury or death.

I070A01A-DAT TYRE BALANCING A tyre that is out of balance may affect handling and tyre wear. The tyres onyour Hyundai were balanced before the car was delivered but may need balancing again during the years youown the car. Whenever a tyre is dismounted for repair, it should be rebalanced beforebeing reinstalled on the car. I080A01A-DAT TYRE TRACTION Tyre traction can be reduced if you drive on worn tyres, tyres that are improperly inflated or on slippery roadsurfaces. Tyres should be replaced when tread wear indicators appear. To reduce the possibility of losing control,slow down whenever there is rain, snow or ice on the road.
