C055B01HR-GAT STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE FOR TURBO CHARGERINTERCOOLER (Diesel Engine)
(1) Do not race, accelerate suddenly,
or accelerate immediately the en- gine after starting it. If the engine iscold, allow the engine to idle for several seconds before it is driven to ensure sufficient lubrication ofthe turbo charger unit. WARNING:
Be sure that the clutch is fully de- pressed when starting a manual transmission vehicle. Otherwisethere is the potential to cause dam- age to the vehicle or injury to some- one inside or outside the vehicle asa result of the forward or backward movement of the vehicle that will occur if the clutch is not depressedwhen the vehicle is started.
5. Turn the ignition key to the "START" position and release it when the engine starts.
WARNING:
Do not turn the engine off immedi-ately after it has been subjected to aheavy load. Doing so may cause severe damage to the engine or turbo charger unit. High speed driving
Up to 80 km/hUp to 100km/h
Driving Condition
Required Idle Time About 20 secondsAbout 1 minute About 2 minutes
Steep mountain slopes or contin- ued driving in excess of 100km/h
(2) After high speed driving or prolonged
engine loading, the engine should be allowed to idle, as shown in the chart below, before turning it off. This idle time will allow the turbocharger to cool prior to shutting the engine off.

CAUTION:
When downshifting from fifth gear to fourth gear, caution should be taken not to inadvertently press the gear lever sideways in such a man-ner that second gear is engaged. Such a drastic downshift may cause the engine speed to increase to thepoint that the tachometer will enter the red-zone. Such over-revving of the engine may possibly cause en-gine damage.!
OPERATING THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION
HHR3026NOTE:
o To shift into reverse, rest the le-
ver in neutral for at least 3 sec- onds after your car is completelystopped. Then move the lever into the reverse position.
o During cold weather, shifting may be difficult until the transmis-sion lubricant has warmed up. This is normal and not harmful tothe transmission.
o If you've come to a complete stop
and it's hard to shift into 1 st
or R
(Reverse), put the shift lever in N (Neutral) position and release the clutch. Press the clutch pedal backdown, and then shift into 1 st
or R
(Reverse) gear position.
o Do not use the shift lever as a handrest during driving, as this can result in premature wear of the transmission shift forks.
C070A01HR-GAT Your Hyundai's manual transmission has a conventional shift pattern. This shift pattern is imprinted on the shift knob. The transmission is fully syn-chronized in all forward gears so shift- ing to either a higher or a lower gear is easily accomplished.
!WARNING:
If your vehicle has a manual trans- mission not equipped with a ignition lock switch, it may move and causea serious accident when starting the engine without depressing the clutch pedal while the parking brake is re-leased and the shift lever not in the N (Neutral) position.

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 muchbetter control of your car.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped
before you attempt to shift into re-verse. The transmission 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.
o Exercise extreme caution when driv- ing on a slippery surface. Be espe-

C070B01A-AAT Using the Clutch The clutch should be pressed all the way to the floor before shifting, thenreleased slowly. The clutch pedal should always be used after fully re- turning to the original position. Do notrest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving. This can cause unnecessary wear. Do not partially engage the clutchto hold the car on an incline. This causes unnecessary wear. Use the parking brake to hold the car on anincline. Do not operate the clutch pedal rapidly and repeatedly.

turn the front wheels away from the curb to help keep the car from roll-ing. If there is no curb or if it is required by other conditions to keep the carfrom rolling, block the wheels.
o Under some conditions your park-
ing 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 therear brakes or if the brakes are wet. If there is a risk that the parking brake may freeze, apply it only tem-porarily while you put the gear se- lector lever in first or reverse gear and block the rear wheels so the carcannot roll. Then release the park- ing brake.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the up- grade with the accelerator pedal.This can cause the transmission to overheat. Always use the brakepedal or parking brake. o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal.
This can increase fuel consumptionand also increase wear on these components. In addition, driving with your foot resting on the brake pedalmay cause the brakes to overheat, which reduces their effectiveness and may lead to more serious con-sequences.
o Take care of your tires. Keep them
inflated to the recommended pres-sure. Incorrect inflation, either too much or too little, results in unnec- essary tire wear. Check the tire pres-sures at least once a month.
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned
correctly. Improper alignment canresult from hitting curbs or driving too fast over irregular surfaces. Poor alignment causes faster tire wearand 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 yourcar in accordance with the mainte- nance schedule in Section 5. If you drive your car in severe conditions,DRIVING FOR ECONOMY
C140A01A-GAT You can save fuel and get more kilo- meters from your car if you follow these suggestions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate rate. Don't make "jack- rabbit" starts or full-throttle shiftsand maintain a steady cruising speed. Don't race between stop- lights. Try to adjust your speed tothat of the other traffic so you don't have to change speeds unneces- sarily. Avoid heavy traffic wheneverpossible. Always maintain a safe distance from other vehicles so you can avoidunnecessary braking. This also re- duces brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel yourcar uses. Driving at a moderate speed, especially on the highway, isone of the most effective ways to reduce fuel consumption.

15USE OF LIGHTSHIGHER SPEED MOTORING
C180A01A-AAT Check your lights regularly for correct operation and always keep them clean. When driving during the day in condi- tions of poor visibility, it is helpful todrive with headlights on low beam. This enables you to be seen as well as to see.
C170A01A-AAT Pre-Trip Inspections 1. Tires: Adjust the tire inflation pressures to specification. Low tire inflation pres-sures will result in overheating and possible failure of the tires. Avoid using worn or damaged tireswhich may result in reduced traction or tire failure. NOTE: Never exceed the maximum tire in- flation pressure shown on the tires.
2. Fuel, engine coolant and
engine oil:
High speed travel consumes more fuel than urban motoring. Do not forget tocheck both engine coolant and engine oil. 3. Drive belt: A loose or damaged drive belt may result in overheating of the engine.TRAILER OR VEHICLE TOWING
C190A01HR-GAT If you are considering towing with your car, you should first check with your Province Department of Motor Vehicles to determine their legal requirements.Since laws vary from province to prov- ince, the requirements for towing trail- ers, cars, other types of vehicles, orapparatus may differ. Ask your Hyundai dealer for further details before towing.
! CAUTION
Do not do any towing with your car during its first 1,000 km (600 miles)in order to allow the engine to prop- erly break in. Failure to heed this caution may result in serious en-gine or transmission damage.

8. When parking your car and trailer,especially on a hill, be sure to fol- low all the normal precautions. Turn your front wheel into the curb, set the parking brake firmly, and putthe transmission in 1st or Reverse. In addition, place wheel chocks at each of the trailer's tires.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer mov-ing, and then apply the trailer brakecontroller by hand to be sure the brakes are working. This lets you check your electrical connection atthe same time.
10. During your trip, check occasion-
ally to be sure that the load issecure, 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 could cause the brakes to over-heat, resulting in reduced braking efficiency.
!WARNING:
Improperly loading your car and trailer can seriously affect its steer- ing and braking performance caus- ing a crash which could cause seri-ous injury or death. C190F01HR-GAT Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check hitch 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 effi-
ciency, do not tow a trailer withtransmission in fifth gear.
5. Always secure items in the trailer
to prevent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pres- sure of all tires on the trailer andyour car. Low tire pressure canseriously affect the handling. Also check the spare tire.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more affected by crosswind andbuffeting. When being passed by a largevehicle, 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.
