1- 38 FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
The brake warning light indicates that the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder is low and hydraulic brake fluidconforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 speci- fications should be added. After add- ing fluid, if no other trouble is found, thecar should be carefully driven to a Hyundai dealer for inspection. If fur- ther trouble is experienced, the vehicleshould not be driven at all but taken to a dealer by a professional towing ser- vice or some other safe method. YourHyundai is equipped with dual-diago- nal braking systems. This means you still have braking on two wheels even ifone of the dual systems should fail. With only one of the dual systems working, more than normal pedal traveland greater pedal pressure are re- quired to stop the car. Also, the car will not stop in as short a distance with onlya portion of the brake system working. If the brakes fail while you are driving, shift to a lower gear for additionalengine braking and stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so.

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.

B740D01A-AAT Operation Tips
o 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 condi-
tioning system, keep all windowsclosed to keep hot air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy
traffic, shift to a lower gear. Thisincreases 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 ofthe engine over-heating.
o During winter months or in periods when the air conditioning is not usedregularly, run the air conditioningonce every month for a few min- utes. This will help circulate the lubricants and keep your system inpeak operating condition.

WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine 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 colourless, odourless 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 underside of the car, have the exhaust system checked as soon as possible. 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 tail gate open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary be sureto:
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, keep the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the windshield clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.
