B290A03A-AATENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
WARNING:Never remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. The engine coolant is under
pressure and could erupt and cause
severe burns. Wait until the engine is
cool before adding coolant to the
reservoir.The normal range is approximately in the
middle between "H" and "C". If it moves
across the dial to "H" (HOT), pull over and
stop as soon as possible and turn off the
engine. Then open the hood and, after the
engine has cooled, check the coolant level
(See "If the engine overheats" on the page
3-4.) and the water pump drive belt. If you
suspect cooling system trouble, have your
cooling system checked by a Hyundai dealer
as soon as possible.

ODOMETER/TRIP ODOMETER
1. OdometerThe odometer records the total distance
traveled in miles. You will also find the
odometer useful to determine when
periodic maintenance should be
performed.NOTE:Federal law forbids alteration of the odom-
eter of any vehicle with the intent to
change the mileage registered on the
odometer. The alteration may void your
warranty coverage.

TACHOMETERThe tachometer registers the speed of
your engine in revolutions per minute (rpm).
CAUTION:
The engine should not be raced to such
a speed that the needle enters the red
zone on the tachometer face. This can
cause severe engine damage and may
void your warranty coverage.

MULTI-FUNCTION LIGHT
SWITCHB340A01A-AATCOMBINATION TURN SIGNAL,
HEADLIGHT AND HIGH-BEAM
SWITCH
Turn Signal OperationPulling down on the lever causes the turn
signals on the left side of the car to blink.
Pushing upwards on the lever causes the
turn signals on the right side of the car to
blink. As the turn is completed, the lever
will automatically return to the center
position and turn off the turn signals at the
same time. If either turn signal indicator
light blinks more rapidly than usual, goes
on but does not blink, or does not go on at
all, there is a malfunction in the system.
Check for a burned-out fuse or bulb or see
your Hyundai dealer.
4. Drive Timeo This mode indicates the total time from
the starting of the engine to the ignition
key "OFF" after resetting. When the
RESET switch is pushed, it will be
initialized to '0:00'. If the ignition switch
is turned to OFF for more than 2 hours,
it will be reset automatically.
o The drive time will be initialized to '0:00'
after being displayed to '99:59'.

3. Average Fuel Consumption (MPG)o This mode calculates the average fuel
consumption from the total fuel used
and the distance since the last average
consumption reset.
o The total fuel used is calculated from the
fuel consumption input.
o Average fuel consumption is reset to
zero if the battery is disconnected.
o To reset the average fuel consumption
to zero (--), press the RESET switch for
more than 1 second. If the fuel is refilled
more than 1.36 gallons (6 liters), it will
be reset automatically.
o When you drive 0.5 mile and less after
resetting, the average fuel consumption
will be displayed to '--'.

CAUTION:
o Use the power outlets only when the
engine is running and remove the plug
from the power outlet after using the
electric device. Using the power
outlets when the engine stops or keep-
ing the electric device plugged in for
many hours may cause the battery to
discharge.
o Do not use the power outlet to connect
electric accessories or equipment
that are not designed to operate on 12
volts.
o Some electronic devices can cause
electronic interference when plugged
into the power outlet. These devices
may cause excessive audio noise
and malfunctions in other electronic
systems or devices in your vehicle.

WARNING:
- When using a portable fuel container,
be sure to place the container on the
ground while refueling. Static elec-
tricity discharge from the container
can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
While starting refueling, contact
should be maintained until the filling
is complete.
- Do not use cellular phones around a
gas station. The electric current or
electronic interference from cellular
phones can ignite fuel vapors caus-
ing a fire.
- When refueling, always turn the en-
gine off. Sparks by engine compart-
ment electrical equipment can ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire. After re-
fueling, check to make sure the fuel
filler cap is securely closed, and
then start the engine.
- Do not smoke or try to light cigarettes
around a gas station. Automotive
fuels are flammable.
o After refueling, make sure the fuel
cap is installed securely to prevent
fuel spillage in the event of an accident
o Tighten the cap until it clicks, otherwise
the "
" light will illuminate
o If you open the fuel filler cap during
high ambient temperatures, a slight
"pressure sound" may be heard. This
is normal and not a cause for concern.
Whenever you open the fuel filler cap,
turn it slowly.
o Do not "top off" after the nozzle auto-
matically shuts off when refueling.
o Automotive fuels are flammable/ex-
plosive materials. When refueling,
please note the following guidelines
carefully.
- Before touching the fuel nozzle or
fuel filler cap, have one's hands in
contact with metal parts away from
the filler neck to discharge static
electricity.
- Do not get back in the vehicle while
refueling. Do not operate anything
that can produce static electricity.
Static electricity discharge can ignite
fuel vapors resulting in an explosion.
!
!
WARNING:
o Gasoline vapors are dangerous.
Before refueling, always stop the
engine and never smoke or allow
sparks and open flames near the filler
area.
o Never operate your vehicle without a
filler cap properly installed, flammable
vapors and gasoline could leak out in
dangerous situations such as a
collision or rollover. If the filler cap
must be replaced, only use genuine
Hyundai replacement parts.

WARNING:
o Keep the cruise control ON/OFF switch
off when not using the cruise control
to avoid inadvertently setting a speed.
o Use the cruise control system only
when traveling on open highways in
good weather.
o Do not use the cruise control when it
may not be safe to keep the car at a
constant speed, for instance, driving
in heavy or varying traffic, or on
slippery (rainy, icy or snow-covered)
or winding roads or over 6% up-hill or
down-hill roads.
o Pay particular attention to the driving
conditions whenever using the cruise
control system.
o During cruise-speed driving of a
manual transaxle vehicle, do not shift
into neutral without depressing the
clutch pedal, since the engine will be
overrevved. If this happens, depress
the clutch pedal or release the cruise
control ON/OFF switch.
o During normal cruise control
operation, when the "SET" switch is
activated or reactivated after apply-
ing the brakes, the cruise control will
energize after approximately 3
seconds. This delay is normal.* : if installed

B740C02O-AATDe-Humidified HeatingFor dehumidified heating:
o Set the air flow control to the face ( )
position.
o Turn on the air conditioning switch. The
air conditioning indicator light should
come on at the same time.
o Set the air intake control to the fresh air
( ) position.
o Adjust the fan control to the desired
speed.
o For more rapid action, set the fan at one
of the higher speeds.
o Adjust the temperature control to provide
the desired amount of warmth.
B740D02Y-AATOperation Tipso 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 conditioning
system, keep all windows closed to
keep hot air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy traffic,
shift to a lower gear. This increases
engine speed, which in turn increases
the speed of the air conditioning
compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air condition-
ing off to avoid the possibility of the
engine overheating.
o During winter months or in periods when
the air conditioning is not used regularly,
run the air conditioning once every
month for a few minutes. This will help
circulate the lubricants and keep your
system in peak operating condition.
