B540A01FC-GAT TAIL GATE
HTB067
WARNING:
The tail gate should always be kept completely closed while the vehicleis in motion. If it is left open or ajar, poisonous exhaust gases may en- ter the car resulting in serious ill-ness or death to the occupants. See additional warnings concerning ex- haust gases on page 2-2. o The tail gate can be locked or un-
locked with a key.
o The tail gate is opened by pulling the outside handle up, raising the tailgate manually.
o To close, lower the tail gate, then press down on it until it is closed. Tobe sure the tail gate is fully closed,always try to pull it up again without using the outside handle.
- When refuelling always shut the
engine off. Sparks produced by electrical components related tothe engine can ignite fuel vapours causing a fire. Always insure that the engine is OFF before andduring refuelling. Once refuel- ling is complete, check to make sure the fuel filler cap and doorare securely closed, before start- ing the engine.
- Do not light any fire around a petrol station. DO NOT usematches or a lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or leave a lit ciga- rette in your vehicle while at a petrol station especially duringrefuelling. Automotive fuel is highly flammable and can, when ignited, result in explosion byflames.
- If a fire breaks out during refuel-
ling, leave the vicinity of thevehicle, and immediately con- tact the manager of the petrol station or contact the police andlocal fire department. Follow any safety instructions they pro- vide.
The seatback holder are fitted on the front passenger's seatback to hang ashopping bag and so on. When not in use, return it to the original position.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 7
!
o Exercise extreme caution when driv-
ing on a slippery surface. Be espe- cially careful when braking, acceler-ating or shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an abrupt change in ve- hicle speed can cause the drivewheels to lose traction and the ve- hicle to go out of control.
C070D02O-AAT Good Driving Practices
o 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 mal-function. Instead, when you are driv- ing down a long hill, slow down andshift to a lower gear. When you do this, engine braking will help slow the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. This will help avoid over-rev-ving the engine, which can causedamage.
o Slow down when you encounter
cross winds. This gives you muchbetter control of your car.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped
before you attempt to shift into re-verse. The transaxle can be dam- aged if you do not. To shift into reverse, depress the clutch, movethe shift lever to neutral, wait three seconds, then shift to the reverse position. HTB185-D
C090A01A-GAT AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transaxle has four forward speeds andone reverse speed. It has a conven- tional shift pattern as shown in the illustration. At night, with the first posi-tion of the multi-function switch, the appropriate symbol on the shift pattern indicator will be illuminated accordingto the range selected. CAUTION:
Never shift into "R" or "P" position while the vehicle is moving.
!
WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lane changes or fast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts.
In a collision crash, an unbeltedperson is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seatbelt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly in-
creased if you lose control of yourvehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two
or more wheels drop off the road-way 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 pullingback into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed limits.
