Adjusting the rearview mirrors:
1. Press either the R (driver's side) or
L (front passenger’s side) button
(1) to select the rearview mirror
you would like to adjust.
2. Use the mirror adjustment control
(2) to position the selected mirror
up, down, left or right.
3. After adjustment, press the R or L
button (1) again to prevent inad-
vertent adjustment.
•The right outside rearview mir-
rors are convex. Objects seen
in the mirror are closer than
they appear.
•Use your interior rearview
mirror or turn your head and
look to determine the actual
distance of following vehicles
when changing lanes.
WARNING
Do not adjust or fold the outside
rearview mirrors whilst driving.
This may cause loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident.
WARNING
•Do not scrape ice off the mir-
ror face; this may damage the
surface of the glass.
•If the mirror is jammed with
ice, do not adjust the mirror by
force. Use an approved spray
de-icer (not radiator antifreeze)
spray, a sponge or soft cloth
with very warm water, or move
the vehicle to a warm place
and allow the ice to melt.

because ice has formed around it, tap
lightly or push on the door to break
the ice and release the door. Do not
pry on the door. If necessary, spray
around the door with an approved
de-icer fluid (do not use radiator
anti-freeze) or move the vehicle to a
warm place and allow the ice to melt.

Petrol is highly flammable and
explosive. Failure to follow
these guidelines may result in
SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
•Read and follow all warnings
posted at the petrol station.
•Before refuelling, note the
location of the Emergency
Petrol Shut-Off, if available, at
the petrol station.
•Before touching the fuel noz-
zle, you should eliminate the
potential build-up of static
electricity by touching a metal
part of the vehicle, a safe dis-
tance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other petrol
source, with your bare hand.

Tachometer
The tachometer indicates the
approximate number of engine revo-
lutions per minute (rpm).
Use the tachometer to select the cor-
rect shift points and to prevent lug-
ging and/or over-revving the engine.
Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge
This gauge indicates the tempera-
ture of the engine coolant when the
Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON
position. Do not operate the engine with-
in the tachometer's RED ZONE.
This may cause severe engine
damage.
CAUTION

■Type A
■Type B
Never remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. The
engine coolant is under pressure
and could severe burns. Wait
until the engine is cool before
adding coolant to the reservoir.
WARNING
If the gauge pointer moves
beyond the normal range area
toward the "130 or H" position,
it indicates overheating that
may damage the engine.
Do not continue driving with an
overheated engine. If your vehi-
cle overheats, refer to "If the
Engine Overheats" in chapter 6.
CAUTION

What to do in an emergency
6
If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you experience a loss
of power, or hear loud pinging or
knocking, the engine may be over-
heating. If this happens, you should:
1.Pull off the road and stop as soon
as it is safe to do so.
2.Place the shift lever in P (Park, for
automatic transmission vehicle)
and set the parking brake. If the air
conditioning is ON, turn it OFF.3.If engine coolant is running out
under the vehicle or steam is com-
ing out from the bonnet, stop the
engine. Do not open the bonnet
until the coolant has stopped run-
ning or the steaming has stopped.
If there is no visible loss of engine
coolant and no steam, leave the
engine running and check to be
sure the engine cooling fan is oper-
ating. If the fan is not running, turn
the engine off.
4.Check for coolant leaking from the
radiator, hoses or under the vehi-
cle. (If the air conditioning had
been in use, it is normal for cold
water to be draining from it when
you stop.)
5.If engine coolant is leaking out,
stop the engine immediately and
we recommend that you call a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer for
assistance.
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
Whilst the engine is
running, keep hands,
clothing and tools
away from the mov-
ing parts such as the
cooling fan and drive
belt to prevent seri-
ous injury.
WARNING

What to do in an emergency
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,
we recommend that you call a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer for
assistance.
•Serious loss of coolant indi-
cates a leak in the cooling
system and we recommend
the system be checked by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
•When the engine overheats
from low engine coolant, sud-
denly adding engine coolant
may cause cracks in the
engine. To prevent damage,
add engine coolant slowly in
small quantities.
CAUTION
NEVER remove the
radiator cap or the
drain plug whilst the
engine and radiator
are hot. Hot coolant
and steam may blow out under
pressure, causing serious
injury.
Turn the engine off and wait
until the engine cools down.
Use extreme care when remov-
ing the radiator cap. Wrap a
thick towel around it, and turn it
counterclockwise slowly to the
first stop. Step back whilst the
pressure is released from the
cooling system. When you are
sure all the pressure has been
released, press down on the
cap, using a thick towel, and
continue turning counterclock-
wise to remove it.
