Operation Tips
oIf the interior of the car is hot when
you first get in, open the windows for
a few minutes to expel the hot air.
oWhen you are using the air condi-
tioning system, keep all windows
closed to keep hot air out.
oWhen 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.
oOn steep grades, turn the air condi- tioning off to avoid the possibility of
the engine overheating.
oDuring winter months or in periods when the air conditioning is not usedregularly, run the air conditioning
once every month for a few min-utes.
This will help circulate the lubricants
and keep your system in peak oper-
ating condition.

or the presence of buildings, bridges or
other large obstructions in the area.
FM broadcasts are transmitted at highfrequencies and do not bend to follow
the earth's surface. Because of this,
FM broadcasts generally begin to fade
at short distances from the station.
Also, FM signals are easily affected by buildings, mountains, or other obstruc- tions. These can result in certain listen-
ing conditions which might lead you to
believe a problem exists with your ra-
dio. The following conditions are normal
and do not indicate radio trouble:
AM broadcasts can be received at
greater distances than FM broadcasts. This is because AM radio waves aretransmitted at low frequencies. These
long, low frequency radio waves can
follow the curvature of the earth rather than travelling straight out into the atmosphere. In addition, they curve
around obstructions so that they can
provide better signal coverage.

How Car Audio Works
AM and FM radio signals are broadcast
from transmitter towers located around
your city. They are intercepted by the radio antenna on your car. This signal isthen received by the radio and sent toyour car speakers.
When a strong radio signal has reached your vehicle, the precise engineeringof your audio system ensures the best
possible quality reproduction. Howev-
er, in some cases the signal coming to
your vehicle may not be strong andclear. This can be due to factors such as the distance from the radio station,
closeness of other strong radio stationsIonosphere

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 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 trunk lid/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.
