WARNING:
- When refueling always shut the
engine off. Sparks produced by
electrical components related to
the engine can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Always insure that
the engine is OFF before and dur-
ing refueling. Once refueling is
complete, check to make sure the
fuel filler cap and door are se-
curely closed, before starting the
engine.
- Do not light any fire around a gas
station. DO NOT use matches or a
lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or
leave a lit cigarette in your vehicle
while at a gas station especially
during refueling. Automotive fuel
is highly flammable and can, when
ignited, result in explosion by
flames.
- If a fire breaks out during refueling,
leave the vicinity of the vehicle,
and immediately contact the man-
ager of the gas station or contact
the police and local fire depart-
ment. Follow any safety instruc-
tions they provide.
!TRUNK LID/TAIL GATEB540A01MC-GAT
WARNING:
The trunk lid or the tail gate should al-
ways be kept completely closed while
the vehicle is in motion. If it is left open or
ajar, poisonous exhaust gases may en-
ter the car resulting in serious illiness or
death to the occupants. See additional
warnings concerning exhaust gases on
page 2-2.
o The trunk lid is opened by first turning
the key clockwise to release the lock,
then raising the door manually.
o To close, lower the trunk lid, then press
down on it until it locks. To be sure the

WARNING:
o Pay particular attention to the driv-
ing conditions whenever using the
cruise control system.
o Be careful when driving downhill
using the cruise control system,
which may increase the vehicle
speed.
!
CAUTION:
During cruise-speed driving of a manual
transaxle vehicle, do not shift into neu-
tral without depressing the clutch pedal,
since the engine will be overrevved. If
this happens, depress the clutch pedal
or release the cruise control ON/OFF
switch.NOTE:During normal cruise control operation,
when the -/SET switch is activated or
reactivated after applying the brakes,
the cruise control will energize after ap-
proximately 3 seconds. This delay is
normal.
E090100AMCTo set cruise control speed:1. Push the CRUISE ON-OFF button on
the steering wheel to turn the system
on. The CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster will illuminate.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed, which
must be more than 25 mph (40 km/h).

3. Push the -/SET switch, and release it at
the desired speed. The SET indicator
light in the instrument cluster will illu-
minate. Release the accelerator at the
same time. The desired speed will
automatically be maintained.
On a steep grade, the vehicle may slow
down or speed up slightly while going
downhill.

B740D01A-AATOperation Tipso If the interior of the car is hot when you
first get in, open the windows for a few
minutes to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air condition-
ing system, keep all windows closed to
keep hot air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy traf-
fic, shift to a lower gear.
This increases engine speed, which in
turn increases the speed of the air
conditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air condi-
tioning off to avoid the possibility of the
engine overheating.
o During winter months or in periods
when the air conditioning is not used
regularly, run the air conditioning once
every month for a few minutes.
This will help circulate the lubricants
and keep your system in peak operat-
ing condition.
For dehumidified heating:
o Turn on the fan control switch.
o Push the air conditioning switch. The
air conditioning indicator light should
come on at the same time.
o Set the air intake control switch to the
fresh air (
) position.
o Adjust the fan control to the desired
speed.
o For more rapid action, set the fan at
one of the higher speeds.
o Adjust the temperature control to pro-
vide the desired amount of warmth.

STEREO SOUND SYSTEM
FM broadcasts are transmitted at high
frequencies and do not bend to follow the
earth's surface. Because of this, FM broad-
casts generally begin to fade at short
distances from the station. Also, FM sig-
nals are easily affected by buildings,
mountains, or other obstructions. These
can result in certain listening conditions
which might lead you to believe a prob-
lem exists with your radio. The following
conditions are normal and do not indicate
radio trouble: AM broadcasts can be received at greater
distances than FM broadcasts. This is
because AM radio waves are transmitted
at low frequencies. These long, low fre-
quency radio waves can follow the curva-
ture of the earth rather than travelling
straight out into the atmosphere. In addi-
tion, they curve around obstructions so
that they can provide better signal cover-
age.
B750A02A-AATHow Car Audio WorksAM and FM radio signals are broadcast
from transmitter towers located around
your city. They are intercepted by the
radio 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 the best pos-
sible quality reproduction. However, in
some cases the signal coming to your
vehicle may not be strong and clear.
This can be due to factors such as the
distance from the radio station, close-
ness of other strong radio stations or the
presence of buildings, bridges or other
large obstructions in the area.

WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
C010A03A-AATEngine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open the
windows immediately.o Do not inhale exhaust fumes.Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by
asphyxiation.o Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If you hear
a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the car, have the exhaust
system checked as soon as possible by your Hyundai dealer.o Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the engine in your
garage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out.o Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car.If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an open area
with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior.
If you must drive with the trunk lid/ tail gate open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary:
1. Close all windows.
2. Open side vents.
3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the windshield
are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.

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.

PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:
Engine exhaust and a wide variety of
automobile components and parts, in-
cluding components found in the inte-
rior furnishings in a vehicle, contain or
emit chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects and reproductive harm. In addi-
tion, certain fluids contained in vehicles
and certain products of component
wear contain or emit chemicals known
to the State of California to cause can-
cer and birth defects or other reproduc-
tive harm.
!
WARNING:
o Always wear appropriate shoes
when operating your vehicle. Unsuit-
able shoes (high heels, ski boots,
etc.) may interfere with your ability
to use the brake and accelerator
pedal, and the clutch (if installed).
o All passengers must be properly
belted whenever the vehicle is mov-
ing. Refer to pages: 1-22 through 1-
31 for more information on their
proper use.
o Always check the surrounding ar-
eas near your vehicle for people,
especially children, before putting a
car into 'drive'.
o When you intend to park or stop the
vehicle with the engine on, be careful
not to depress the accelerator pedal
for a long period of time. It may over-
heat the engine or exhaust system
and cause fire.
