Engine Coolant Temperature
Warning Light
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. The engine coolant is un-
der pressure and could erupt and cause
severe burns. Wait until the engine is
cool before removing the radiator cap.
!
This warning light shows the temperature
of the engine coolant when the ignition
switch is ON. The warning light illumi-
nates if the temperature of the engine
coolant is above 253.4±5.4°F (123±3°C).
If the warning light illuminates, pull over
and stop as soon as possible and turn off
the engine. Then open the hood and
check the coolant level (See "If the en-
gine overheats" on the page 3-4.) and the
water pump drive belt. If you suspect
cooling system trouble, have your cool-
ing system checked by a Hyundai dealer
as soon as possible.NOTE:If the engine coolant temperature warn-
ing light illuminates, it indicates over-
heating that may damage the engine.

WARNING:
If you must re-enter the vehicle,
you should once again eliminate
potentially dangerous static elec-
tricity discharge by touching a
metal part of the vehicle, away
from the fuel filler neck, nozzle or
other gasoline source.
- When using a portable fuel con-
tainer be sure to place the con-
tainer on the ground prior to refu-
eling. Static electricity discharge
from the container can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire. Once refu-
eling has begun, contact with the
vehicle should be maintained until
the filling is complete. Use only
portable fuel containers designed
to carry and store gasoline.
- Do not use cellular phones around
a gas station or while refueling any
vehicle. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cellu-
lar phones can potentially ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire. If you
must use your cellular phone use
it in a place away from the gas
station.
!
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, flam-
mable vapors and gasoline could
leak out in dangerous situations such
as a collision or rollover. If the filler
cap must be replaced, only use genu-
ine Hyundai replacement parts.
o After refueling, make sure the fuel
cap is installed securely to prevent
fuel spillage in the event of an acci-
dent.
o Tighten the cap until it clicks one
time, 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 au-
tomatically shuts off when refueling.
o Automotive fuels are flammable/ex-
plosive materials. When refueling,
please note the following guidelines
carefully. Failure to follow these
guidelines may result in severe per-
sonal injury, severe burns or death
by fire or explosion.
- Read and follow all warnings posted
at the gas station facility.
- Before refueling, note the location
of the Emergency Gasoline Shut-
Off, if available, at the gas station
facility.
- Before touching the fuel nozzle or
fuel filler cap, you should eliminate
potentially dangerous static elec-
tricity discharge by touching an-
other metal part of the front of the
vehicle, a safe distance away from
the fuel filler neck, nozzle, or other
gas source.
- Do not get back into a vehicle once
you have begun refueling. Do not
touch, rub or slide against any item
or fabric (polyester, satin, nylon,
etc.) capable of producing static
electricity. Static electricity dis-
charge can ignite fuel vapors re-
sulting in explosion.

(If Installed)
Air Conditioning SwitchThe air conditioning is turned on by push-
ing the A/C button on the heating/air
conditioning control panel.
B740B02A-AATAir Conditioning Operation
(Cooling)To use the air conditioning to cool the
interior:
o Turn on the fan control switch.
o Turn on the air conditioning switch by
pushing in on the switch.
The air conditioning indicator light
should come on at the same time.
o Set the temperature control to "Cool".
("Cool" provides maximum cooling. The
temperature may be moderated by
moving the control toward "Warm".)
o Adjust the fan control to the desired
speed. For greater cooling, turn the fan
control to one of the higher speeds or
temporarily select the (
)position
on the air intake control.B740B01MC-D B730A01L-AAT
Operation Tipso To keep dust or unpleasant fumes
from entering the car through the ven-
tilation system, temporarily set the air
intake control at the (
) position.
Be sure to return the control to the (
) position when the irritation has
passed to keep fresh air in the vehicle.
This will help keep the driver alert and
comfortable.
o Air for the heating/cooling system is
drawn in through the grilles just ahead
of the windshield. Care should be taken
that these are not blocked by leaves,
snow, ice or other obstructions.
o To prevent interior fog on the wind-
shield, set the air intake control to the
fresh air (
) position, fan speed to
the desired position, turn on the air
conditioning system, and adjust tem-
perature control to desired tempera-
ture.

B740D01A-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 condition-
ing system, keep all windows closed to
keep hot air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy traf-
fic, 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 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 operat-
ing condition.
For dehumidified heating:
o Turn on the fan control switch.
o Push the air conditioning switch. The
air conditioning indicator light should
come on at the same time.
o Set the air intake control switch 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 pro-
vide the desired amount of warmth.

34WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATSD030A02A-AATIf your temperature gauge indicates over-
heating, you experience a loss of power,
or hear loud pinging or knocking, the
engine is probably too hot. If this hap-
pens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as
it is safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P"
(automatic), or neutral (manual
transaxle) and set the parking brake. If
the air conditioner is on, turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the car
or steam is coming out from under-
neath the hood, stop the engine. Do
not open the hood until the coolant
has stopped running or the steaming
has stopped. If there is no visible loss
of coolant and no steam, leave the
engine running and check to be sure
the engine cooling fan is operating. If
the fan is not running, turn the engine
off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive
belt is missing. If it is not missing,
check to see that it is tight. If the drive
belt seems to be satisfactory, check for
coolant leaking from the radiator, hoses
or under the car. (If the air conditioner
had been in use, it is normal for cold
water to be draining from it when you
stop). 3. Attach the clamps of the jumper cable
in the exact location shown on the
previous page. First, attach one clamp
of the jumper cable to the positive (+)
post or cable of the discharged battery.
Then attach the other end of the same
cable to the positive (+) post or cable
of the booster battery. Next, using the
other cable, attach one clamp to the
negative (-) post or cable of the booster
battery. Then attach the other end of
that cable to a solid metal part of the
engine away from the battery. Do not
connect the cable to any moving part.
4. Start the engine in the car with the
booster battery and let it run for a few
minutes. This will help to assure that
the booster battery is fully charged.
During the jumping operation, run the
engine in this vehicle at about 2000
rpm.
5. Start the engine in the car with the
discharged battery using the normal
starting procedure. After the engine
starts, leave the jumper cables con-
nected and let the engine run at fast
idle or about 2000 rpm for several
minutes.
6. Carefully remove the jumper cables in
the reverse order of attachment.If you do not know why your battery be-
came discharged (because the lights were
left on, etc.), have the charging system
checked by your Hyundai dealer.
