C070D02O-AAT Good Driving Practices
o Never take the car out of gear andcoast 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 much bettercontrol 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.
C070B01A-DAT Using the Clutch The clutch should be pressed all the way to the floor before shifting, then releasedslowly. The clutch pedal should always be used after fully returning to the origi- nal position. Do not rest your foot on theclutch pedal while driving. This can cause unnecessary wear. Do not partially en- gage the clutch to hold the car on anincline. This causes unnecessary wear. Use the hand brake to hold the car on an incline. Do not operate the clutch pedalrapidly and repeatedly. C070E02A-GAT RECOMMENDED SHIFT POINTS The shift points as shown above are recommended for optimum fuel economy and performance.
Shift
from-to 1-2 2-33-4 4-5
Recommended
20km/h (15 mph) 40km/h (25 mph)55km/h (35 mph) 75km/h (45 mph)
!WARNING:
o Do not downshift more than 2 gears or downshift the gear when the engine is running at high speed (5,000 RPM or higher). Such down-shifting may damage the engine.
o If your vehicle has a manual
transaxle not equipped with a ig-nition lock switch, it may move and cause a serious accident when starting the engine without de-pressing the clutch pedal while the parking brake is released and the shift lever not in the N(Neutral)position.
! CAUTION:
When downshifting from fifth gear to fourth gear, caution should be taken not to inadvertently press the gear shift lever sideways in such a mannerthat second gear is engaged. Such a drastic downshift may cause the en- gine speed to increase to the pointthat the tachometer will enter the red- zone. Such over-revving of the engine may possibly cause engine damage.

C090C01A-AAT o R (Reverse): Use for backing up the vehicle. Bring the car to a complete stop before shift-ing the selector lever to "R" position. C090D02A-AAT o N (Neutral): In the "N" position, the transaxle is in neutral, which means that no gears are engaged. The engine can be startedwith the shift lever in "N" position, although this is not recommended ex- cept if the engine stalls while the car ismoving. C090E01CM-AAT
o D(Drive): Use for normal driving. Bring the car to a complete stop before shifting the selector to "D" position. The transaxle will automatically shift through a four/five gear sequence.
CAUTION:
Never shift into "R" or "P" position while the vehicle is moving.
! The indicator lights in the instrument cluster indicate the selector lever posi-tion when the ignition is switched "ON". During sports mode operation, the gear currently in use displays in the numeralindicator. C090B02A-AAT The function of each position is as follows: o P (Park): Use to hold the vehicle in place when parked or while starting the engine. Whenever parking the car, apply the parking brake and shift the selectorlever to the "P" (Park) position.
CAUTION:
Never place the selector lever in the"P" (Park) position unless the ve-hicle is fully stopped. Failure to ob- serve this caution will cause severe damage to the transaxle.
!
NOTE:
Depress the brake pedal when shifting. The selector lever can be shiftedfreely.
The first few shifts on a new vehicle, orif the battery has been disconnected, may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal condition, and the shiftingsequence will adjust after shifts are cycled a few times by the T.C.M (Trans- mission Control Module). OCM051042R

16FULL-TIME 4WD OPERATION
C350A03O-DAT Engine power can be delivered to all front and rear wheels for maximum power. Full-time 4WD is useful when good traction is required, such as, whendriving on slippery, wet or snow-cov- ered roads and when moving out of mud. Driving 4WD Safely
(1)Be sure to wear the seat belt.
(2)Drive at lower speeds in strong cross- winds. Because of your vehicle's high centre of gravity, its stability will be affected in crosswinds. Slowerspeeds ensure better vehicle con- trol.
(3)Check the brake condition after driv- ing in wet or muddy conditions. Pressthe brake several times as you move slowly until you feel normal brakingforces return.
(4)Do not drive the vehicle through wa-
ter. (i.e. streams, rivers, lakes, etc.)
C310B01JM-AAT ESP ON/OFF Mode When the ESP is operating, the ESP indicator in the instrument cluster willblink. If you turn the system off by pressing the ESP switch, the ESP-OFF indica-tor will come on and stay on. In the ESP-OFF mode, the stability control will be deactivated. Adjust your drivingaccordingly. To turn the system back on, press the switch again. The ESP- OFF indicator should go off. NOTE: The ESP mode will automatically be turned ON after the engine is turnedoff and restarted.
C310D01JM-DAT Indicators and Warning The indicators should illuminate when the ignition key is turned to ON orSTART but should go out after three seconds. If the indicators do not illuminate, or theESP or ESP-OFF indicator does not go out after 3 seconds, have the vehicle checked by an authorised dealer. Should there be any unusual conditions in the device while driving, ESP-OFFindicator illuminates as a warning. If ESP-OFF indicator illuminates, pull your car to a safe place and stop theengine. Then, start the engine again to check if the ESP-OFF indicator goes out. If the indicator remains lit even after the engine has been started, have your carchecked by an authorised Hyundai dealer.

If your car is facing downhill, turn the front wheels into the kerb to helpkeep the car from rolling. If your car is facing uphill, turn the front wheels away from the kerb to help keep thecar from rolling. If there is no kerb or if it is required by other conditions to keep the car from rolling, block thewheels.
o Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engagedposition. This is most likely to hap- pen when there is an accumulation of snow or ice around or near the rearbrakes or if the brakes are wet. If there is a risk that the parking brake may freeze, apply it only temporarilywhile you put the gear selector lever in "P" (automatic) or in first or re- verse gear (manual transaxle) andblock the rear wheels so the car cannot roll. Then release the parking brake.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the up- grade with the accelerator pedal. Thiscan cause the transaxle to overheat.Always use the brake pedal or park- ing brake.DRIVING FOR ECONOMY
C140A01A-DAT You can save fuel and get more kilometres from your car if you follow these suggestions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate rate. Don't make "kanga- roo" starts or full-throttle shifts.Maintain a steady cruising speed. Don't race between stoplights. Try to adjust your speed to that of the othertraffic so you don't have to change speeds unnecessarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible. Alwaysmaintain a safe distance from other vehicles so you can avoid unneces- sary braking. This also reduces brakewear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster
you drive, the more fuel your caruses. Driving at a moderate speed, especially on the highway, is one of the most effective ways to reducefuel consumption.
o Don't "ride" the brake. This can in-
crease fuel consumption and alsoincrease wear on these components. o In addition, driving with your foot
resting on the brake pedal may causethe brakes to overheat, which re- duces their effectiveness and may lead to more serious consequences.
o Take care of your tyres. Keep them inflated to the recommended pres-sure. Incorrect inflation, either toomuch or too little, results in unneces- sary tyre wear. Check the tyre pres- sures at least once a month.
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper alignment canresult from hitting kerb or driving toofast over irregular surfaces. Poor alignment causes faster tyre wear and may also result in other prob-lems as well as greater fuel con- sumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For better fuel economy and reducedmaintenance costs, maintain your car in accordance with the mainte-nance schedule in Section 5. If you drive your car in severe conditions, more frequent maintenance is re-quired (see Section 5 for details).

C190F01A-DAT Trailer and Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check towbar and
safety chain connections as well as proper operation of the trailer running lights, brake lights and turn signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a mod- erate speed (Less than 100 km/h).
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than
normal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking efficiency and electrical charging performance, do not use fifth gear (manualtransaxle) or overdrive (automatic transaxle).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pressure
of all tyres on the trailer and your car. Low tyre pressure can seriously af- fect the handling. Also check the spare tyre.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more affected by crosswind and buf-feting. When being passed by alarge vehicle, keep a constant speed and steer straight ahead. If there is too much wind buffeting, slow downto get out of the other vehicle's air turbulence. 8. When parking your car and trailer,
especially on a hill, be sure to follow all the normal precautions. Turn your front wheel into the curb, set the parking brake firmly, and put thetransaxle in 1st or Reverse (manual) or Park (automatic). In addition, place wheel chocks at each of the trailer'styres.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes, drive
your vehicle with the trailer attached,and then apply the trailer brakes by hand. This test confirms the opera- tion of the trailer brakes and alsochecks your electrical connection at the same time.
10. During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure,and that the lights and any trailer brakes are still working.
11. Avoid jerky starts, sudden accel- eration or sudden stops.
12. Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.
13. Avoid holding the brake pedal down
too long or too frequently. This couldcause the brakes to overheat, re- sulting in reduced braking efficiency.
CAUTION:
The following specifications are rec-ommended when towing a trailer. The loaded trailer weight cannotsafely exceed the values in the fol- lowing chart.

Maximum Towable Weight kg.
With Brake Without Brake
WARNING:
Improperly loading your car and trailer can seriously affect its steer-ing and braking performance caus- ing a crash which you may be seri- ous injury or death.

!
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
4. Check to see if the water pump drivebelt is missing. If it is not missing, check to see that it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be satisfactory, check for coolant leaking from theradiator, hoses or under the car. (If the air conditioning had been in use, it is normal for cold water to bedraining from it when you stop).
D030A02TB-DAT If your temperature gauge indicates overheating, you experience a loss of power, or hear loud pinging or knocking, the engine is probably too hot. If thishappens to you, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as
it is safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P"
(automatic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the car or steam is coming out from underthe bonnet, stop the engine. Do not open the bonnet until the coolant hasstopped running or the steaming has stopped. If there is no visible loss of coolant and no steam, leave theengine running and check to be sure the engine cooling fan is operating. If the fan is not running, turn the engineoff. WARNING:
While the engine is running, keephands and clothing away from mov-ing parts such as the fan and drive belts to prevent injury.
5. Start the engine in the car with the
discharged battery using the normal starting procedure. After the enginestarts, leave the jumper cables con- nected and let the engine run at fast idle or about 2000 rpm for severalminutes.
6. Carefully remove the jumper cables
in the reverse order of attachment.
If you do not know why your batterybecame discharged (because the lightswere left on, etc.), have the charging system checked by your Hyundai dealer.

F060B01A-AAT
o Drive Belts Inspect all drive belts for evidence of cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil and replace if necessary. Drive beltsshould be checked periodically for proper tension and adjusted as neces- sary. F060D01TB-AAT
o Fuel Lines, Fuel Hoses and
Connections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses andconnections for leakage and damage. Have a trained technician replace any damaged or leaking parts immediately.EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS
F060M01A-AAT
o Engine Oil and Filter The engine oil and filter should be changed at the intervals specified in the maintenance schedule. If the car is being driven in severe conditions,more frequent oil and filter changes are required. F060C01A-AAT
o Fuel Filter
A clogged filter can limit the speed at
which the vehicle may be driven, dam-age the emission system and cause hard starting. If an excessive amountof foreign matter accumulates in the fuel tank, the filter may require re- placement more frequently. After installing a new filter, run the
engine for several minutes, and checkfor leaks at the connections. Fuel fil- ters should be installed by trained technicians.
!WARNING (DIESEL ONLY):
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30 sec- onds after shutting off engine. High pressure pump, rail, injectors andhigh pressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the engine stopped. The fuel jet produced byfuel leaks may cause serious injury, if it touch the body. People using pacemakers should not move than30cm closer to the ECU or wiring harness within the engine room while engine is running, since thehigh currents in the Common Rail system produce considerable mag- netic fields.

POWER STEERING FLUID LEVELCHECKING ELECTRIC COOLING FANS
G220A01A-AAT
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature and maysometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near theblades of the cooling fan, so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the coolant temperaturedecreases the fan will automatically shut off. This is a normal condition.
G220B01A-AAT
Checking Engine Cooling Fan
The engine coolant fan should come
on automatically if the engine coolant temperature is high. G220C01A-AAT Checking Condenser Cooling Fan The condenser cooling fan should come on automatically whenever the air con- ditioning is in operation. G230A03A-GAT The power steering fluid level should
be checked regularly. To check the power steering fluid level, be sure theignition 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.
OCM055027L NOTE: Grinding noise from the power steer-
ing pump may be heard immedi- ately after the engine is started in extremely cold conditions (below - 20°C). If the noise stops during warmup, there is no abnormal function in the system. It is due to a power steering fluid characteristic in ex-tremely cold conditions. Recommended Fluid
Use PSF-3 type fluidNOTE: Do not start the engine when the
power steering oil reservoir is empty.
