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.

E090500AMCTo cancel cruise control, do one of
the following:o Press the brake pedal.
o Press the clutch pedal with a manual
transaxle.
o Shift into N (Neutral) with an automatic
transaxle.
o Press the CANCEL switch located on
the steering wheel.
o Decrease the vehicle speed lower than
the memory speed by 9 mph (15 km/h).
o Decrease the vehicle speed to less
than approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).
OMC039303
Each of these actions will cancel cruise
control operation (the SET indicator light
in the instrument cluster will go off), but it
will not turn the system off. If you wish to
resume cruise control operation, push
the RES/+ switch located on your steer-
ing wheel. You will return to your previ-
ously preset speed.
E090400AUNTo temporarily accelerate with the
cruise control on:If you want to speed up temporarily when
the cruise control is on, depress the ac-
celerator pedal. Increased speed will not
interfere with cruise control operation or
change the set speed.
To return to the set speed, take your foot
off the accelerator.

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'.

WARNING:
Never run the engine in a closed or

is needed to move your car in or out of
the area. The carbon monoxide gas
emitted is odorless and can cause se-
rious injury or death.

C050B02A-AATNormal Conditions:The Starting Procedure:
1. Insert key, and fasten the seat belt.
2. Depress the clutch pedal fully and
place the gearshift lever (manual
transaxle) in neutral or the selector
lever (automatic transaxle) in "P" (park)
position.
3. After turning the ignition key to the
"ON" position, make certain all warn-
ing lights and gauges are functioning
properly before starting the engine.
WARNING:
Be sure that the clutch is fully de-
pressed when starting a manual
transaxle vehicle. Your manual
transaxle equipped vehicle will not
start unless the clutch pedal is fully
depressed. On a manual transaxle
equipped vehicle that can be started
without depressing the clutch,
there is the potential to cause damage
to the vehicle or injury to someone
inside or outside the vehicle as a result
of the forward or backward movement
of the vehicle that will occur if the clutch
is not depressed when the vehicle is
started.

NOTE:o To shift into reverse, rest the lever
in neutral for at least 3 seconds after
your car is completely stopped. Then
move the lever into the reverse po-
sition.
o During cold weather, shifting may be
difficult until the transaxle lubricant
has warmed up. This is normal and
not harmful to the transaxle.
o If you've come to a complete stop
and it's hard to shift into 1
st or
R(Reverse), put the shift lever in
N(Neutral) position and release the
clutch. Press the clutch pedal back
down, and then shift into 1st or
R(Reverse) gear position.
o Do not use the shift lever as a
handrest during driving, as this can
result in premature wear of the
transaxle shift forks.
OPERATING THE MANUAL
TRANSAXLEC070A01MC-GATYour Hyundai's manual transaxle has
five forward gears and one reverse gear.
This shift pattern is also imprinted on the
shift knob. The transaxle is fully synchro-
nized in all forward gears so shifting to
either a higher or a lower gear is easily
accomplished.
When shifting into reverse gear, pull the
mis-shift prevention tab and shift into re-
verse gear position.

4. Turn the ignition key to the "Start" po-
sition and release it when the engine
starts.
After the engine has started, allow the
engine to run for 10 to 20 seconds
prior to placing the vehicle in gear.
The starter should not be operated for
more than 15 seconds at a time. Wait
15-30 seconds between starting at-
tempts to protect the starter from over-
heating.
WARNING:
Always fully depress the brake pedal
before and while shifting out of the "P"
Park position into another position to
avoid inadvertent motion of the vehicle
which could injure persons in or around
the car.

CAUTION:
o Do not downshift more than 2 gears
or downshift the gear when the en-
gine is running at high speed (5,000
RPM or higher). Such downshifting
may damage the engine.
o When downshifting from fifth gear to
fourth gear, caution should be taken
not to inadvertently press the gear
shift lever sideways in such a man-
ner that second gear is engaged.
Such a drastic downshift may cause
the engine speed to increase to the
point that the tachometer will enter
the red zone. Such over revving of
the engine may possibly cause en-
gine damage.The shift points as shown above are
recommended for optimum fuel economy
and performance.
C070E03A-AATRECOMMENDED SHIFT POINTS
C070B01A-AATUsing the ClutchThe clutch should be pressed all the way
to the floor before shifting, then released
slowly. Do not rest your foot on the clutch
pedal while driving. This can cause un-
necessary wear.
Do not partially engage the clutch to hold
the car on an incline. This causes unnec-
essary wear. Use the parking brake to
hold the car on an incline. Do not operate
the clutch pedal rapidly and repeatedly.

o Exercise extreme caution when driv-
ing on a slippery surface. Be espe-
cially careful when braking, accelerat-
ing or shifting gears. On a slippery
surface, an abrupt change in vehicle
speed can cause the drive wheels to
lose traction and the vehicle to go out
of control.
WARNING:
o Always buckle-up! In a collision, an
unbelted occupant is significantly
more likely to be seriously injured or
killed than a properly belted occu-
pant.
o Avoid high speeds when cornering
or turning.
o Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
o The risk of rollover is greatly in-
creased if you lose control of your
vehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or
more wheels drop off the roadway
and the driver oversteers to reenter
the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the
roadway, do not steer sharply. In-
stead, slow down before pulling back
into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed limits.
C070D03O-AATGood Driving Practiceso Never take the car out of gear and
coast down a hill. This is extremely
hazardous. Always leave the car in
gear.
o Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause
them to overheat and malfunction. In-
stead, when you are driving down a
long hill, slow down and shift to a lower
gear. When you do this, engine brak-
ing will help slow the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. This will help avoid over-revving
the engine, which can cause damage.
o Slow down when you encounter cross
winds. This gives you much better
control of your car.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped
before you attempt to shift into reverse.
The transaxle can be damaged if you
do not. To shift into reverse, depress
the clutch, move the shift lever to neu-
tral, wait three seconds, then shift to
the reverse position.
