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 vehiclespeed can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle to go out of control. WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lanechanges or fast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts.
In a collision crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing aseat belt.
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 theroadway and the driver oversteers to reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer sharply.Instead, slow down before pull- ing back into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed lim- its.
AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE (4 SPEED A/T, 5 SPEED A/T)
C090A01NF-GAT (If installed)
The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transaxle has four/five forward speeds and one reverse speed. The individualspeeds are selected automatically, depending on the position of the speed selector lever. The selector lever has 2gates; the main gate and the manual gate. NOTE: For information on manual gate op- eration, refer to "Sports Mode". In the main gate, the selector lever has 4 positions.

C090N04O-AAT Good Driving Practices
o Never move the gear selector lever
from "P" or "N" to any other position with the accelerator pedal depressed.
o Never move the gear selector lever
into "P" when the vehicle is in mo-tion.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped
before you attempt to shift into "R" or"D".
o Never take the car out of gear and
coast down a hill. This may be ex-tremely hazardous. Always leave the car in gear when moving.
o Do not "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. Otherwise, the lower gear maynot be engaged.
o Always use the parking brake. Do not depend on placing the transaxlein "P" to keep the car from moving.
If you need to use the shift lock release,it could mean your car is developing aproblem. Have the car checked by your Hyundai dealer.
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 vehiclespeed can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle to go out of control.
o Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothlydepressing and releasing the accel-erator pedal.
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 unbelted person is significantly more likelyto die than a person wearing a seat belt.

4WD LOCK SYSTEM
C360A01O-GAT (With Electronic Control 4WD) This 4WD system is designed for divid- ing the power ratio automatically innormal driving conditions. During off-road or low-friction drivingconditions, press the 4WD lock buttonto drive in full-time 4WD, dividing the power ratio to 50:50 in the front and rear wheels. The 4WD lock indicator light inthe instrument cluster is illuminated. This setup begins to get cancelled when the vehicle speed exceeds 30 km/h,and the function is completely released at a speed of 40 km/h or higher. Con- versely, the function is rerun when thespeed again drops to 40 km/h or lower, and is fully established at speeds below 30 km/h.To release the 4WD lock function, press the 4WD lock button again. The 4WD lock indicator light in theinstrument cluster should go off.

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.

o The wheel diagonally opposite from the one to be changed should be blocked. 1. Remove the spare tyre and remove
the jack and tool from luggage com-partment.
NOTE: The spare tyre is located underneath the car.
WARNING:
Your vehicle is equipped with tyresdesigned to provide for safe ride andhandling capability. Do not use a size and type of tyre and wheel that is different from the onethat was originally installed on your vehicle. It can affect the safety and performance of your vehicle, whichcould lead to handling failure or rollover and serious injury. When replacing the tyres, be sure toequip all four tyres with the tyre and wheel of the same size, type, tread, brand and load-carrying capacity. Ifyou nevertheless decide to equip your vehicle with any tyre/wheel com- bination not recommended byHyundai for off-road driving, you should not use these tyres for high- way driving. o Allow the vehicle speed to decrease,
without using the brakes if possible.
o Pull off the road or into the curb where it is safe to do so and stop thevehicle. Turn off the engine.
o Activate the hazard warning lamp, apply the parking brake and placethe transaxle in gear ("P" position forAutomatic Transaxle).
o Passengers should not remain in-
side the vehicle during wheel chang-ing.

HSM5013 WARNING:
o Driving on worn-out tyres is dan- gerous! Worn-out tyres can cause loss of braking effectiveness, steering control and traction. When replacing tyres, never mixradial and bias-ply tyres on the same car. If you replace radial tyres with bias-ply tyres, they mustbe installed in sets of four.
o Your vehicle is equipped with tyres designed to provide for safe ride and handling capability. Do not use a size and type of tyre and wheel that was different from the one that is originally installed on your vehicle. It can affect thesafety and performance of your vehicle, which could lead to han- dling failure or rollover and seri-ous injury.
I070A01A-DAT TYRE BALANCING A tyre that is out of balance may affect handling and tyre wear. The tyres on your Hyundai were balanced before the car was delivered but may needbalancing again during the years you own the car. Whenever a tyre is dismounted for repair, it should be rebalanced before being reinstalled on the car. I080A01A-DAT TYRE TRACTION Tyre traction can be reduced if you drive on worn tyres, tyres that areimproperly inflated or on slippery road surfaces. Tyres should be replaced when tread wear indicators appear. Toreduce the possibility of losing control, slow down whenever there is rain, snow or ice on the road.
