B740D01A-AATOperation Tips
o 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 condi-
tioning system, keep all windowsclosed 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 condi- tioning off to avoid the possibility ofthe engine over-heating.
o During winter months or in periods when the air conditioning is not usedregularly, run the air conditioningonce every month for a few min- utes. This will help circulate the lubricantsand keep your system in peak oper- ating condition.
! CAUTION:
o If the car is being driven in severe conditions such as dusty, rough roads, more frequent climate con- trol air filter inspections are re-quired.
o When the air flow rate is decreased,
it must be checked at an autho-rized dealer.

With the "Fresh" mode selected, air enters the vehicle from the outside andis heated or cooled according to the function selected. With the "Recirculation" mode selected, air from within the passenger compart- ment will be drawn through the heatingsystem and heated or cooled according to the function selected. NOTE: It should be noted that prolonged operation of the heating in "Recircu- lation" mode ( ) will give rise to fogging of the windshield and sidewindows and the air within the pas- senger compartment will become stale. In addition, prolonged use ofthe air conditioning with the "Recir- culation" mode ( ) selected may result in the air within the passengercompartment becoming excessively dry.

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 side of 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. 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.

C160K01A-AAT Carry Emergency Equipment Depending on the severity of the weather where you drive your car, you should carry appropriate emergencyequipment. Some of the items you may want to carry include tire chains, tow straps or chains, flashlight, emer-gency flares, sand, a shovel, jumper cables, a window scraper, gloves, ground cloth, coveralls, a blanket, etc.
C160J01A-AAT Don't Let Ice and Snow Accumu- late Underneath Under some conditions, snow and ice can build up under the fenders andinterfere with the steering. When driv- ing in severe winter conditions where this may happen, you should periodi-cally check underneath the car to be sure the movement of the front wheels and the steering components is notobstructed.
C160G01A-AAT To Keep Locks from Freezing To keep the locks from freezing, squirt an approved de-icer fluid or glycerineinto the key opening. If a lock is cov- ered with ice, squirt it with an approved de-icing fluid to remove the ice. If thelock is frozen internally, you may be able to thaw it out by using a heated key. Handle the heated key with careto avoid injury. C160H01A-AAT Use Approved Anti-Freeze in Window Washer System To keep the water in the window washer system from freezing, add an approved anti-freeze solution in accordance with instructions on the container. Windowwasher anti-freeze is available from Hyundai dealers and most auto parts outlets. Do not use engine coolant orother types of anti-freeze as these may damage the finish. C160I01HR-GAT Don't Let Your Parking Brake Freeze Under some conditions your parking brake can freeze in the engaged posi-tion. This is most likely to happen when there is an accumulation of snow or ice around or near the rear brakes orif the brakes are wet. If there is a risk the parking brake may freeze, apply it only temporarily while you put the gearselector lever in first or reverse gear and block the rear wheels so the car cannot roll. Then release the parkingbrake.
44CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE
4WASHING AND WAXING
E030A04HR-GAT Washing Your Hyundai Never wash your car when the surface is hot from being in the sun. Alwayswash your car in the shade. Wash your car frequently. Dirt is abra- sive and can scratch the paint if it is notremoved. Air pollution or acid rain may damage the paint and trim through chemical action if pollutants are al-lowed to remain in contact with the surface. If you live near the ocean or in an area where road salts or dust controlchemicals are used, you should pay particular attention to the underside of the car. Start by rinsing the car toremove dust and loose dirt. In winter, or if you have driven through mud or muddy water, be sure to thoroughly clean theunderside as well. Use a hard direct stream of water to remove accumula- tions of mud or corrosive materials.Use a good quality car-washing solu- tion and follow the manufacturer's di- rections on the package. These areavailable at your Hyundai dealer or auto parts outlet. Don't use strong house- hold detergents, gasoline, strong sol-vents or abrasive cleaning powders as these may damage the finish. Use a clean sponge or cloth, rinse it frequently and don't damage the finishby rubbing too hard. For stubborn spots, dampen them frequently and remove them a little at a time.To clean whitewall tires, use a stiff brush or soapy steel-wool scouring pad. To clean plastic wheel covers, use aclean sponge or soft cloth and water. If you find any nicks or scratches in the paint, use touch-up paint to cover them to prevent corrosion. To protect the paintwork of the car against corrosion,you must clean your Hyundai (at least once a month). Give special attention to the removal of salt, mud and othersubstances on the underside of the splashboards of the car. Make sure that the outlets and the underside of thedoors are open. Paint damage can be caused by small accumulation of tar, industrial precipitation, tree resin, in-sects and bird droppings, when not removed immediately. If water alone is not strong enough to remove the accu-mulated dirt, use a mild car washing solution. Be sure to rinse the surface after washing to remove the solution.Never allow the solution to dry on the painted surfaces.
CAUTION:
!
o Water washing in the engine com- partment including high pressure water washing may cause the fail-ure of electrical circuits located in the engine compartment.
o Never allow water or other liquids to come in contact with electrical/electronic components inside the vehicle as this may damage them.
o Be careful when washing the side windows of your vehicle. Espe-cially, with high-pressure water,water may leak through the win- dows and wet the interior.
