o Fading - As your vehicle moves away from the radio station, the signal will weaken and sound will begin to fade. When this occurs, we suggest that you select another stronger station.
o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large obstructions between the trans-mitter and your radio can disturb thesignal causing static or fluttering noises to occur. Reducing the treble level may lessen this effect until thedisturbance clears. o Station Swapping - As a FM signal
weakens, another more powerful sig-nal near the same frequency may begin to play. This is because your radio is designed to lock onto theclearest signal. If this occurs, select another station with a stronger sig- nal.
o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio sig- nals being received from several di-rections can cause distortion or flut-tering. This can be caused by a direct and reflected signal from the same station, or by signals from twostations with close frequencies. If this occurs, select another station until the condition has passed.

CAUTION:
When using a communication sys- tem such a cellular phone or a radioset inside the vehicle, a separate external antenna must be fitted. When a cellular phone or a radio set is usedwith an internal antenna alone, it may interfere with the vehicle's elec- trical system and adversely affectsafe operation of the vehicle.

Using a cellular phone or a two- way radio When a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle, noise may be producedfrom the audio equipment. This does not mean that something is wrong with the audio equipment. In such a case,use the cellular phone at a place as far as possible from the audio equipment. Precautions on handing the unit
o When the temperature inside your
car is high, open the window for ventilation, and then operate the unit.
o Do not use a cassette tape which
has longer play time than C-60 (60minute play time).
o Clean the head periodically (monthly)
using a cotton applicator soaked incolorless alcohol to enjoy excellent sound quality at all times.
o Be sure to check whether the tape is properly wound before inserting itinto the tape loading slot. When the tape is loose, tighten it using a pencilor similar instrument to take up the slack of the tape.
o Be sure to keep the cassette tapes always in the case to protect themfrom any dust. The dust or foreign substances attached to the tape candamage the tape head or deteriorate the sound quality.
o Keep the cassette tapes away from magnetic forces (speaker, TV, etc.)to maintain the recording on the tape in good condition. Take care not to let any other objectsthan the cassette tape enter thecassette loading slot.
o Do not use any gasoline, thinner,
benzene or any other organic sol-vents to clean the unit. Use a dry cloth to clean the unit.
o When the tapes are stored in an overlapping manner for a long time,the characteristics of the recording on the tape may be mutually trans-ferred, thus deteriorating the sound quality. When you rewind the tapes in everythree months to keep them for a long time, you can maintain good sound quality by preventing adhesion of thetape surfaces.
o Take care not to place the tapes on
the seat, instrument panel or nearwindow. Keep the tapes away from the direct sunlight.

! CAUTION:
When using a communication sys- tem such a cellular phone or a radio set inside the vehicle, a separate external antenna must be fitted. Whena cellular phone or a radio set is used with an internal antenna alone, it may interfere with the vehicle's elec-trical system and adversely affect safe operation of the vehicle.
WARNING:
Don't use a cellular phone when you are driving. You should stop at a safe place to use a cellular phone.

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.
