IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you experience a loss
of power, or hear loud pinging or
knocking, the engine is probably too
hot. If this happens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soonas it is safe to do so.
2. Place the shift lever in P (automat- ic transmission) or neutral (manual
transmission) and set the parking
brake. If the air conditioning is on,
turn it off.
3. If engine coolant is running out under the car or steam is coming
out from underneath the hood,
stop the engine. Do not open the
hood until the coolant has flow
stopped. If there is no visible loss
of engine coolant and no steam,
leave the engine running and
check to be sure the engine cool-
ing 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 condition-
ing had been in use, it is normal
for cold water to be draining from it
when you stop). 5. If the water pump drive belt is bro-
ken or engine coolant is leaking
out, stop the engine immediately
and call the nearest authorized
HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.
6.If you cannot find the cause of the overheating, wait until the engine
temperature has returned to nor-
mal. Then, if coolant has been lost,
carefully add coolant to the reser-
voir to bring the fluid level in the
reservoir up to the halfway mark. 7.Proceed with caution, keeping
alert for further signs of overheat-
ing. If overheating happens again,
call an authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er for assistance.
WARNING
While the engine is running,
keep hair, hands and clothing
away from moving parts such
as the fan and drive belts to pre-
vent injury.
WARNING
Do not remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. This
may result in coolant to be
blown out of the opening and
cause serious burns.
CAUTION
Serious loss of coolant indicatesthere is a leak in the cooling sys-tem and this should be checkedas soon as possible by anauthorized HYUNDAI dealer.

What to do in an emergency
Removing and storing the
spare tire
Turn the tire hold-down wing bolt
counterclockwise.
Store the tire in the reverse order of
removal.
To prevent the spare tire and tools
from “rattling” while the vehicle is in
motion, store them properly.
❈If it is hard to loosen the tire hold-down
wing bolt by a hand, you can loosen it
easily using the Jack handle.
1. Put the Jack handle (1) into the
inside of tire hold-down wing bolt.
2. Turn the tire hold-down wing bolt counterclockwise by the Jack han-
dle to utilize the principles of the
lever and fulcrum.
Changing tires
1. Park on a level surface and applythe parking brake firmly.
2. Shift the shift lever into R(Reverse) with manual transmission or P(Park)
with automatic transmission.
3. Activate the hazard warning flasher.

the jack position. 6. Loosen the wheel lug nuts coun-
terclockwise one turn each, but do
not remove any nut until the tire
has been raised off the ground.

WARNING- Changing a
tire
To prevent vehicle movementwhile changing a tire, always

Use a towing strap less than 16 feet(5 m) long. Attach a white or red
cloth (about 12 inches (30 cm)
wide) in the middle of the strap for
easy visibility.
Drive carefully so that the towing strap is not loosened during towing.
Emergency towing precautions
Place the ignition switch in ACC sothe steering wheel isn’t locked.
Place the transmission shift lever in N (Neutral).
Release the parking bake.
Press the brake pedal with more force than normal since you will
have reduced brake performance. More steering effort will be
required because the power steer-
ing system will be disabled.
If you are driving down a long hill, the brakes may overheat and brake
performance will be reduced. Stop
often and let the brakes cool off.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when tow-
ing the vehicle.
driving maneuvers which
would place excessive stress
on the emergency towing hook
and towing cable or chain. The
hook and towing cable or chain
may break and cause serious
injury or damage.
If the disabled vehicle can not be moved, do not forcibly con-
tinue the towing. Contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer or
a commercial tow truck serv-
ice for assistance.
Tow the vehicle as straight ahead as possible.
Keep away from the vehicle during towing.
OBK069020
CAUTION - Automatictransmission
If the car is being towed with all four wheels on the ground, itcan be towed only from thefront. Be sure that the transmis-sion is in neutral. Be sure thesteering is unlocked by placingthe ignition switch in the ACCposition. A driver must be inthe towed vehicle to operatethe steering and brakes.
To avoid serious damage to the automatic transmission,limit the vehicle speed to 10mph and drive less than 1mile when towing.
Before towing, check the level of the automatic transmissionfluid. If it is below the "HOT"range on the dipstick, add fluid.
If you cannot add fluid, a tow- ing dolly must be used.

While operating your vehicle:
Note any changes in the sound ofthe exhaust or any smell of
exhaust fumes in the vehicle.
Check for vibrations in the steering wheel. Notice any increased steer-
ing effort or looseness in the steer-
ing wheel, or change in its straight-
ahead position.
Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or “pulls” to one side
when traveling on smooth, level
road.
When stopping, listen and check for unusual sounds, pulling to one
side, increased brake pedal travel
or “hard-to-push” brake pedal.
If any slipping or changes in the operation of your transmission
occurs, check the transmission
fluid level.
Check automatic transmission P (Park) function.
Check parking brake.
Check for fluid leaks under your vehicle (water dripping from the air
conditioning system during or after
use is normal).
At least monthly:
Check the coolant level in theengine coolant reservoir.
Check the operation of all exterior lights, including the stoplights, turn
signals and hazard warning flash-
ers.
Check the inflation pressures of all tires including the spare.
At least twice a year
(i.e., every Spring and Fall):
Check the radiator, heater and air conditioning hoses for leaks or
damage.
Check the windshield washer spray and wiper operation. Clean
the wiper blades with clean cloth
dampened with washer fluid.
Check the headlight alignment.
Check the muffler, exhaust pipes, shields and clamps.
Check the lap/shoulder belts for wear and function.
Check for worn tires and loose wheel lug nuts.
