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 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 sideof 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 theengine 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 anopen area with the air intake set at "Fresh" and the 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:
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.

o In a collision crash, an unbelted
person is significantly more likelyto die than a person wearing aseatbelt.
RISK OF ROLLOVER
WARNING:
o Utility vehicle has a significantly higher collision rate than othertype of vehicles.
o Utility vehicle have higher ground clearance and a narrower trackto make them capable of perform-ing in a wide variety of off-road applications. Specific design characteristics give them a highercentre of gravity than ordinary cars. An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better viewof the road allowing you to antici- pate problem. They are not de- signed for cornering at the samespeeds as conventional 2-wheel drive vehicles any more than low- slung sports cars are designed toperform satisfactorily under off- road conditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt ma-neuvers. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result inloss of control or vehicle rollover.

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

C090F02L-GAT Sports Mode Whether the vehicle is stationary or in motion, sports mode is selected by pushing the selector lever from the "D"position into the manual gate. To return to "D" range operation, push the selec- tor lever back into the main gate.In sports mode, moving the selector lever backwards and forwards can make rapid gearshifts simple. In contrast to amanual transaxle, the sports mode al- lows gearshifts with the acceleator pedal depressed. UP (+)
: Push the lever forward once to
shift up one gear.DOWN (-) : Pull the lever backwards
once to shift down one gear.SKIP : By rapidly moving the selector
forward or backward twice, it is possible to skip one gear, i.e. 1st to 3rd or 3rd to 1st .
CAUTION:
o In sports mode, the driver must execute upward shifts in accor-dance with prevailing road condi-tions, taking care to keep the en- gine speed below the red zone.
o For engine protection, upward shifts are made automatically when the engine rpm reaches thered zone.
o By rapidly moving the selector
lever backwards (-) twice, it ispossible to skip one gear, i.e., 3rd to 1st, 4th to 2nd. Since sudden engine braking and/orrapid acceleration can cause a loss of traction, downshifts must be made carefully in accordancewith the vehicle's speed. NOTE:
o In sports mode, only the four/five
forward gears can be selected. To reverse or park the vehicle, move the selector lever to the "R" or"P" position as required.
o In sports mode, downward shifts are made automatically when thevehicle slows down. When the vehicle stops, 1st gear is auto- matically selected.
o To maintain the required levels of vehicle performance and safety,the system may not execute cer- tain gearshifts when the selector lever is operated.
o When driving away from a stop on a slippery road, push the se-lector lever forward into the +(UP) position. This causes the transaxle to shift into 2nd gearwhich is better for smooth driv- ing away on a slippery road. Push the selector lever to the -(DOWN)side to shift back to 1st gear.
