Air Conditioning refrigerant
label
The actual Air Conditioning refriger-
ant label in the vehicle may differ
from the illustration.
The symbols and specifications on
the air conditioning refrigerant label
describe the:
1. Classification of refrigerant
2. Amount of refrigerant
3. Classification of Compressor lubri-
cant
Yo u c a n f i n d o u t w h i c h a i r c o n d i t i o n -
ing refrigerant is applied to your vehi-
cle on the label located inside the
bonnet.
Checking the amount of air
conditioner refrigerant and
compressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is
low, the performance of the air con-
ditioning is reduced. Overfilling also
reduces the performance of the air
conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, we recommend that the sys-
tem be inspected by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.
Vehicles equipped with R-134a
Because the refriger-
ant is at very high
pressure, the air con-
ditioning system
should only be serv-
iced by trained and certified
technicians. It is important that
the correct type and amount of
oil and refrigerant is used.
Otherwise, it may cause dam-
age to the vehicle and personal
injury.

Driving your vehicle
Carbon monoxide (CO) gas is toxic. Breathing CO can cause unconsciousness and death.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide which cannot be seen or smelled.
Do not inhale engine exhaust.
If at any time you smell engine exhaust inside the vehicle, open the windows immediately. Exposure to CO can causeunconsciousness and death by asphyxiation.
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. Ifyou hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of thevehicle, we recommend that the exhaust system be checked as soon as possible by an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
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. Run the engine onlylong enough to start the engine and to move the vehicle out of the garage.
Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the vehicle .
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the vehicle, be sure to do so only in anopen area with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan control set to high so fresh air is drawn into the interior.
Keep the air intakes clear.

If you must drive with the boot open:
Close all windows.
Open instrument panel air vents.
Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face", and the fan control set to high.

Driving in flooded areas
Avoid dr iving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no
higher than the bottom of the wheel
hub. Drive through any water slowly.
Allow adequate stopping distance
because brake performance may be
reduced.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them sev-
eral times whilst the vehicle is mov-
ing slowly.
Highway driving
Ty r e s
Adjust the tyre inflation, as specified.
Under-inflation may overheat or
damage the tyres.
Do not install worn-out or damaged
tyres, which may reduce traction or
fail the braking operation.
Information
Never over-inflate your tyres above
the maximum inflation pressure, as
specified on your tyres.
Fuel, engine coolant and engine
oil
Driving at higher speeds on the high-
way consumes more fuel and is less
efficient than driving at a slower,
more moderate speed. Maintain a
moderate speed in order to conserve
fuel when driving on the highway.
Be sure to check both the engine
coolant level and the engine oil
before driving.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may
overheat the engine.

Check battery and cables
Winter temperatures increase bat-
tery consumption.Inspect the bat-
tery and cables, as specified in the
chapter 7.The battery charging level
can be checked by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer or in a service sta-
tion.
Change to "winter weight" oil if
necessary
In some regions during winter, it is
recommended to use the "winter
weight" oil with lower viscosity. For
further information, refer to chapter
8. When you are not sure about a
type of winter weight oil, consult an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
Check spark plugs and ignition
system
Inspect the spark plugs, as speci-
fied in chapter 7.If necessary,
replace them. Also check all ignition
wirings and components for any
cracks, wear-out, and damage.
To p r e v e n t l o c k s f r o m f r e e z i n g
To p r e v e n t t h e l o c k s f r o m b e i n g
frozen, spray approved de-icing fluid
or glycerin into key holes. When a
lock opening is already covered with
ice, spray approved de-icing fluid
over the ice to remove it. When an
internal part of a lock freezes, try to
thaw it with a heated key. Use the
heated key carefully to avoid an
injury.
Use approved window washer
anti-freeze solution in system
To p r e v e n t t h e w i n d o w w a s h e r f r o m
being frozen, add authorised window
washer anti-freeze solution, as spec-
ified on the window washer contain-
er. Window washer anti-freeze solu-
tion is available from an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer, and most vehicle
accessory outlets. Do not use engine
coolant or other types of anti-freeze
solution, to prevent any damage to
the vehicle paint.
