VEHICLE DATA COLLECTION AND EVENT DATA RECORDERS

Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with many high technology, electronically controlled systems that help to ensureyour vehicle operates properly and provides the performance that you expect. These systems utilize computersto monitor the operation of various systems and components and help to control their operation. Thesecomputerized system operations are wide-ranging and involve components to reduce emissions, to continuouslyevaluate the readiness of the airbag and seat belt pretensioner systems, to determine when the airbag and seatbelt pre-tensioner systems should be deployed and then to activate the deployment, and if equipped, to operateanti-lock braking, traction control and electrical stability control to assist the driver to control the vehicle in difficultdriving situations. These systems electronically store information that is useful to service technicians when theyneed to diagnose and repair these systems. Additional information is stored only when a crash occurs that resultsin the deployment of the airbags or seat belt pre-tensioners. This type of data storage is done by devices calledevent data recorders(EDR).

After a crash event, the airbag and seat belt pre-tensioner computer system, known as the SupplementalRestraint System Control Module (SRSCM) or Airbag Control Unit (ACU), may record some information aboutthe condition of the vehicle and how it was being operated. This information consists of data related to seat beltusage and if there was diagnostic information in the airbag or seat belt systems at the time that a crash occurred,and if the ACU sensed that a crash of sufficient severity occurred to require seat belt pre-tensioner or airbagdeployment.

To retrieve this information, special equipment is needed and access to the vehicle or the device that stores thedata is required. Hyundai will not access information about a crash event or share it with others except:

o in response to an official request of police or similar government office, oro with the consent of the vehicle owner or, if the vehicle is leased, with the consent of the lessee, oro as part of Hyundai’s defense of litigation through the discovery process, oro as required by law.

2 FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS

UNLEADEDFUEL ONLY

B010A04A

!B010A02A-AAT

Use Unleaded Gasoline

Unleaded gasoline with a Pump OctaneRating of 87 (Research Octane Number 91)or higher must be used in your Hyundai.

If leaded gasoline is used, it will cause thecatalytic converter to become ineffective andthe emission control system to malfunction. Thiscan also result in increased maintenance ex-pense.

To avoid accidental use of leaded fuel, the largernozzle used with leaded gasoline at servicestations cannot be inserted into the fuel tankopening of your Hyundai.

B010B01A-AAT

What About Gasohol?

Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gasolineand 10% ethanol or grain alcohol) may be usedin your Hyundai. However, if your engine devel-ops driveability problems, the use of 100% un-leaded gasoline is recommended. Fuels withunspecified quantities of alcohol, or alcoholsother than ethanol, should not be used.

B010C01A-AAT

Use of MTBE

Hyundai recommends that fuels containingMTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) over 15.0%vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) should notbe used in your Hyundai.Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0% vol. (OxygenContent 2.7% weight) may reduce vehicle per-formance and produce vapor lock or hard start-ing.

B010D01A-AAT

Do Not Use Methanol

Fuels containing methanol (wood alcohol) shouldnot be used in your Hyundai. This type of fuelcan reduce vehicle performance and damagecomponents of the fuel system.

CAUTION:o Do not "TOP-OFF" after the first nozzle

shut off when refueling.o The fuel cap must be tightened at least

3 clicks, otherwise " " light may ill-uminate.

CAUTION:Your Hyundai's New Vehicle Limited Warran-ty may not cover damage to the fuel systemand any performance problems that are causedby the use of fuels containing methanol orfuels containing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary ButylEther) over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7%weight.)

The seat belts must be used inconjunction with the supplemental airbag sys-tem. State laws require that some or all occu-pants of the vehicle use seat belts. The possi-bility of increased injury or severity of injuryin an accident will be increased if this elemen-tary safety precaution is not observed.In addition, follow the other instructionsprovided in this section.

WARNING:Every person in your vehicle needs to bebuckled up at all times, including infants andchildren. In a collision, an unrestrained childcan become a "missile" inside the car. Theforce required to hold a child on your lapcould be so great that you could not hold thechild. Any child riding in the vehicle shouldalways be in a proper restraint.

NOTE:Small children are best protected from injuryin an accident when properly restrained in therear seat by a child restraint system thatmeets the requirements of the Federal MotorVehicle Safety Standards. Before buying anychild restraint system, make sure that it has alabel certifying that it meets Motor VehicleSafety Standard 213. The restraint must beappropriate for your child's height and weight.Check the label on the child restraint for thisinformation. See page 1-22.

Injured Person

A seat belt should be used when an injuredperson is being transported. When this is nec-essary, you should consult a physician for rec-ommendations.

B150F01A-AAT

One Person Per Belt

Two people (including children) should neverattempt to use a single seat belt. This couldincrease the severity of injuries in case of anaccident.

B150G01A-AAT

Do Not Lie Down

To reduce the chance of injuries in the eventof an accident and to achieve maximum effec-tiveness of the restraint system, all passen-gers should be sitting up and the front seatsshould be in an upright position when the caris moving. A seat belt cannot provide properprotection if the person is lying down in the rearseat or if the front seat is in a reclined position.

WARNING:Sitting in a reclined position or lying downwhen your vehicle is in motion can be danger-ous. Even if you buckle up, your seat beltscan't do their job when you're reclined. Theshoulder belt can't do its job because it won'tbe against your body. Instead, it will be infront of you. In a crash you could go into itwith great force, receiving serious neck orother injuries. The lap belt can't do its jobeither. In a crash the belt could go up overyour abdomen. The belt forces would be there,not at your strong pelvic bones. This couldcause serious internal injuries.For proper protection when the vehicle is inmotion, have the seatback upright. Then sitback in the seat and wear your seat beltproperly. See Page 1-19.

B150D01A-AAT

Pregnant Women

The use of a seat belt is recommended forpregnant women to lessen the chance of injuryin an accident. When a seat belt is used, the lapbelt portion should be placed as low and snuglyas possible on the hips, not across the abdo-men. For specific recommendations, consult aphysician.

B150C02A-AAT

Larger Children

Children who are too large for child restraintsystems should always occupy the rear seatand use the available lap/shoulder belts. Thelap portion should be fastened snug on thehips and as low as possible. Check belt fitperiodically. A child's squirming could put thebelt out of position. Children are afforded themost safety in the event of an accident whenthey are restrained by a proper restraint sys-tem in the rear seat. If a larger child (over age13) must be seated in the front seat, the childshould be securely restrained by the availablelap/shoulder belt and the seat should be placedin the rearmost position. Children under theage of 13 should be restrained securely in therear seat. NEVER place a child under the ageof 13 in the front seat. NEVER place a rearfacing child seat in the front seat of a vehicle.

NOTE:Although the combination retractor providesthe same level of protection for seated pas-sengers in either emergency or automaticlocking modes, it is recommended that seatedpassengers use the emergency locking fea-ture for improved convenience. The auto-matic locking function is intended to facilitatechild restraint installation. To convert fromthe automatic locking feature to the emer-gency locking operation mode, allow the un-buckled seat belt to fully retract.

WARNING:o For maximum restraint system protec-

tion, seat belts must always be usedwhenever the car is moving.

o Seat belts are most effective whenseatbacks are in the upright position.

o Children must always be seatbelted inthe rear seats. Never allow children toride in the front passenger seat.

o The shoulder belt should be positionedmidway over the shoulder nearest thedoor for the most effective protection.Never wear the seat belt under the armnearest the door. Wearing the belt underthe arm nearest the door could causeserious or fatal injuries in an accident.

o Avoid wearing twisted seat belts. A twist-ed belt can't do its job as well. In a colli-sion, it could even cut into you. Be surethe belt webbing is straight and nottwisted.

o Be careful not to damage the belt web-bing or hardware. If the belt webbing orhardware is damaged, replace it.

Children riding in the car should sit in the rearseat and must always be properly restrained tominimize the risk of injury in an accident, sud-den stop or sudden maneuver. According toaccident statistics provided by the National High-way Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),children are safer when properly restrained inthe rear seats than in the front seat. Largerchildren not in a child restraint should use oneof the seat belts provided.All 50 states have child restraint laws. Youshould be aware of the specific requirements inyour state. Child and/or infant safety seats mustbe properly placed and installed in the rear seat.You must use a commercially available childrestraint system that meets the requirements ofthe Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards(FMVSS).Children could be injured or killed in a crash iftheir restraints are not properly secured. Forsmall children and babies, a child seat or infantseat must be used. Before buying a particularchild restraint system, make sure it fits your carseat and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow allthe instructions provided by the manufacturerwhen installing the child restraint system.

WARNING:o A child restraint system must be placed

in the rear seat. Never install a child orinfant seat on the front passenger's seat.Should an accident occur and cause thepassenger side airbag to deploy, it couldseverely injure or kill an infant or childseated in an infant or child seat. Thus,only use a child restraint in the rear seatof your vehicle.

o Since a safety belt or child restraint sys-tem can become very hot if it is left in aclosed vehicle, be sure to check the seatcover and buckles before placing a childthere.

o When the child restraint system is not inuse, store it in the trunk or fasten it witha safety belt so that it will not be thrownforward in the case of a sudden stop oran accident.

o Children who are too large to be in a childrestraint should still sit in the rear seatand be restrained with the available lap/shoulder belts. Never allow children toride in the front passenger seat.

Using a Child Restraint System withthe "Tether Anchorage" System

For small children and babies, the use of achild seat or infant seat is required. This childseat or infant seat should be of appropriatesize for the child and should be installed inaccordance with the manufacturer's instruc-tions. It is further required that the seat beplaced in the vehicle's rear seat since this canmake an important contribution to safety. Yourvehicle is provided with three child restrainthook holders for installing the child seat orinfant seat.

!WARNING:o Always make sure that the shoulder

belt portion of the outboard lap/shoul-der belt is positioned midway over theshoulder, never across the neck or be-hind the back. Moving the child closerto the center of the vehicle may helpprovide a good shoulder belt fit. Thelap belt portion of the lap/shoulder beltor the center seat lap belt must alwaysbe positioned as low as possible on thechild's hips and as snug as possible.

o If the seat belt will not properly fit thechild, Hyundai recommends the use ofan approved booster seat in the rearseat in order to raise the child's seatingheight so that the seat belt will properlyfit the child. Before purchasing abooster seat, make sure that it meetsapplicable Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandards (FMVSS) and that it is satis-factory for use with this vehicle.

o Never allow a child to stand up or kneelon the seat.

o Never use an infant carrier or child safetyseat that "hooks" over a seatback; it maynot provide adequate security in an acci-dent.

WARNING:o Never allow a child to be held in a

person's arms while they are in a mov-ing vehicle, as this could result in seri-ous injury to the child in the event of anaccident or a sudden stop. Holding achild in a moving vehicle does not pro-vide the child with any means of protec-tion during an accident, even if the per-son holding the child is wearing a seatbelt.

Securing the Child Restraint Seat withthe "ISOFIX" System

Some child seat manufacturers make safetyseats that are labeled as ISOFIX or ISOFIX-compatible child seats. These seats include tworigid or webbing mounted attachments that con-nect to two ISOFIX anchors at specific seatingpositions in your vehicle. This type of child seateliminates the need to use seat belts to attachthe child seat for forward-facing child seats.ISOFIX anchors have been provided in yourvehicle. The ISOFIX anchors are located in theleft and right outboard rear seating positions.Their locations are shown in the illustration.There is no ISOFIX anchor provided for thecenter rear seating position.

!WARNING:o Do not install a child restraint seat at

the center of the rear seat using thevehicle's ISOFIX anchors. The ISOFIXanchors are only provided for the leftand right outboard rear seating posi-tions. Do not misuse the ISOFIX an-chors by attempting to attach a childrestraint seat improperly in the middleof the reat seat position to the ISOFIXanchors. In a crash, the child seat ISOFIXattachments may not be strong enoughto secure the child restraint seat prop-erly in the center of the rear seat andmay break, causing serious injury ordeath.

o When using the vehicle’s “ISOFIX” sys-tem to install a child restraint system inthe rear seat, all unused vehicle rearseat belt metal latch plates or tabs mustbe latched securely in their seat beltbuckles and the seat belt webbing mustbe retracted behind the child restraintto prevent the child from reaching andtaking hold of unretracted seat belts. Unlatched metal latch plates or tabsmay allow the child to reach theunretracted seat belts which may resultin strangulation and a serious injury ordeath to the child in the child restraint.

mode, the belt will be locked. After installationof the child restraint system, try to move it inall directions to be sure the child restraintsystem is securely installed. If you need totighten the belt, pull more webbing toward theretractor. When you unbuckle the seat beltand allow it to retract, the retractor will auto-matically revert back to its normal seatedpassenger emergency locking usage condition.

NOTE:o Before installing the child restraint sys-

tem, read the instructions supplied by thechild restraint system manufacturer.

o If the seat belt does not operate as de-scribed, have the system checked imme-diately by your authorized Hyundai dealer.

WARNING:o If the retractor is not in the Automatic

Locking mode, the child restraint systemcan move when your vehicle turns orstops abruptly.

o Do not install any child restraint systemin the front passenger seat. Should anaccident occur and cause the passengerside airbag to deploy, it could severelyinjure or kill an infant or child seated in aninfant or child seat. Therefore, only use achild restraint system in the rear seat ofyour vehicle.


29

! WARNING:o Pre-tensioners are designed to operate

only one time. After activation, pre-tensioner seat belts must be replaced. Allseat belts, of any type, should always bereplaced after they have been worn dur-ing a collision.

o The pre-tensioner seat belt assemblymechanisms become hot during activa-tion. Do not touch the pre-tensioner seatbelt assemblies for several minutes afterthey have been activated.

o Do not attempt to inspect or replace thepre-tensioner seat belts yourself. Thismust be done by an authorized Hyundaidealer.

o Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat beltassemblies.

o Do not attempt to service or repair thepre-tensioner seat belt system in anymanner.

o Improper handling of the pre-tensionerseat belt assemblies, and failure to heedthe warnings to not strike, modify, in-spect, replace, service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies may leadto improper operation or inadvertent acti-vation and serious injury.

o Always wear the seat belts when drivingor riding in a motor vehicle.

CAUTION:o Because the sensor that activates the

SRS airbag is connected with the pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRS airbag warn-ing light on the instrument panel willblink for approximately 6 seconds afterthe ignition key has been turned to the"ON" position, and then it should turnoff.

o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is notworking properly, this warning lightwill illuminate even if there is no mal-function of the SRS airbag system.If the SRS airbag warning light does notilluminate when the ignition key is turnedto "ON", or if it remains illuminated afterblinking for approximately 6 seconds, orif it illuminates while the vehicle is beingdriven, please have an authorized Hyundaidealer inspect the pre-tensioner seatbelts and SRS airbag system as soon aspossible.

!NOTE:o Both the driver's and front passenger's

pre-tensioner seat belts will be activatedin certain frontal collisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts can be activatedalone or, where the frontal collision issevere enough, together with theairbags.The pre-tensioners will not be acti-vated if the seat belts are not beingworn at the time of the collision.

o When the pre-tensioner seat belts areactivated, a loud noise may be heard andfine dust, which may appear to be smoke,may be visible in the passenger compart-ment. These are normal operating condi-tions and are not hazardous.

o Although it is harmless, the fine dust maycause skin irritation and should not bebreathed for prolonged periods. Washyour hands and face thoroughly after anaccident in which the pre-tensioner seatbelts were activated.


30 DUAL-STAGE SUPPLEMENTALRESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM (SRS)

B240A01A-AAT

Your Hyundai is equipped with a Dual-stageSupplemental Restraint (Airbag) System. Theindications of the system's presence are theletters "SRS AIRBAG" embossed on the airbagpad cover in the steering wheel and thepassenger's side front panel pad above theglove box.

The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installedunder the pad covers in the center of the steer-ing wheel and the passenger's side front panelabove the glove box. The purpose of the SRS isto provide the vehicle's driver and/or the frontpassenger with additional protection than thatoffered by the seat-belt system alone, in case ofa frontal impact of sufficient severity.

B240A03A

Driver's AirbagThe dual-stage SRS uses a collection of sen-sors to gather information about the driver'sand front passenger's seat position, thedriver's and front passenger's seat belt usageand impact severity.The driver's and front passenger's seat posi-tion sensors determine if the seats are fore oraft of a reference position. Similarly, the seatbelt usage sensors determine if the driver andfront passenger's seat belts are fastened.These sensors provide the ability to controlthe SRS deployment's pressure based on howclose the driver's seat is to the steering wheel,how close the passenger's seat is to theinstrument panel and whether or not the seatbelts are fastened.

The dual-stage airbags offer the ability to controlthe airbag inflation with two pressure levels. Alower pressure level is provided for moderate-severity impacts. A higher-pressure level is pro-vided for more severe impacts.

NOTE:o Be sure to read information about the

SRS on the labels provided on the back-side of the sun visor and in the glove box.

o Dual-stage inflating airbags are com-bined with pre-tensioner seat belts tohelp provided enhanced occupant pro-tection in frontal crashes. Front airbags

WARNING:o As its name implies, the SRS is de-

signed to work with, and be supple-mental to, the driver's and thepassenger's three point seat belt sys-tems and is not a substitute for them.Therefore, your seat belts must be wornat all times while the vehicle is in mo-tion. The airbags deploy only in certainfrontal impact conditions severeenough to cause significant injury tothe vehicle occupants.

o The SRS is designed to deploy theairbags only when an impact is suffi-ciently severe and when the impactangle is less than 30° from the forwardlongitudinal axis of the vehicle and willnot deploy in side, rear or rollover im-pacts. Additionally, the airbags will onlydeploy once. Thus, seat belts must beworn at all times.

are not intended to deploy in lightcollisions in which protection can beprovided by the pre-tensioner seat belt.

o If you are considering modification ofyour vehicle due to a disability, pleasecontact the Hyundai Customer Assis-tance Center at 1-800-633-5151.


31

WARNING:o No objects should be placed over or

near the airbag modules on the steer-ing wheel, instrument panel, and thefront passenger's panel above the glovebox, because any such object couldcause harm if the vehicle is in a crashsevere enough to cause the airbags todeploy.

o If the airbags deploy, they must bereplaced by an authorized Hyundaidealer.

o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRSwiring, or other components of the SRSsystem. Doing so could result in injury,due to accidental firing of the airbagsor by rendering the SRS inoperative.

o Do not install a child restraint system inthe front passenger seat position. Achild restraint system must never beplaced in the front seat. The infant orchild could be severely injured or killedby an airbag deployment in case of anaccident.

o Do not allow children to ride in the frontpassenger seat. If older children (teen-agers and older) must ride in the frontseat, make sure they are always prop-erly belted and that the seat is movedback as far as possible.

WARNING:o For maximum safety protection in all

types of crashes, all occupants includ-ing the driver should always wear theirseat belts whether or not an airbag isalso provided at their seating positionto minimize the risk of severe injury ordeath in the event of a crash. Do not sitor lean unnecessarily close to the airbagwhile the vehicle is in motion.

o Sitting improperly or out of positioncan result in serious or fatal injury in acrash. All occupants should sit uprightin their seats with their feet on the flooruntil the vehicle is parked and the igni-tion key is removed.

o The SRS airbag system must deployvery rapidly to provide protection in acrash. If an occupant is out of positionbecause of not wearing a seat belt, theairbag may forcefully contact the occu-pant causing serious or fatal injuries.

! !

o Front airbags are not intended to de-ploy in side-impact, rear-impact orrollover crashes. In addition, airbagswill not deploy in frontal crashes belowthe deployment threshold speed.

o The driver should sit back as far aspossible while still maintaining controlof the vehicle. If you are sitting tooclose to the airbag, it can cause deathor serious injury when it inflates.

WARNING:!


32

The SRSCM continually monitors all elementswhile the ignition is "ON" to determine if a frontalor near-frontal impact is severe enough to re-quire airbag deployment.

The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) onthe instrument panel will blink for about 6seconds after the ignition key is turned to the"ON" position or after the engine is started,after which the SRI should go out.The airbag modules are located both in thecenter of the steering wheel and in the frontpassenger's panel above the glove box. Whenthe SRSCM detects a considerable impact tothe front of the vehicle, it will automaticallydeploy the airbags.

A fully inflated airbag in combination with aproperly worn seat belt slows the driver's orthe passenger's forward motion, thus reduc-ing the risk of head and chest injury.

After complete inflation, the airbag immediatelystarts deflating, enabling the driver to maintainforward visibility.

WARNING:o For best protection from the side im-

pact airbag system and to avoid beinginjured by the deploying side impactairbag, both front seat occupantsshould sit in an upright position withthe seat belt properly fastened. Thedriver's hands should be placed on thesteering wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00o'clock positions.The passenger's arms and hands shouldbe placed on their laps.

o Do not use any accessory seat covers.o Use of seat covers could reduce or pre-

vent the effectiveness of the system.o Do not install any accessories on the side

or near the side impact airbag.o Do not use excessive force on the side of

the seat.o Do not place any objects over the airbag

or between the airbag and yourself.o Do not place any objects (an umbrella,

bag, etc.) between the front door and thefront seat. Such objects may become dan-gerous projectiles and cause injury if thesupplemental side impact airbag inflates.

B990B01A-1

Side airbagsensor

WARNING:o The side impact airbag is supplemental to

the driver's and the passenger's threepoint seat belt systems and is not a sub-stitute for them. Therefore your seat beltsmust be worn at all times while the ve-hicle is in motion. The airbags deployonly in certain side impact conditionssevere enough to cause significant injuryto the vehicle occupants.

B990B04Y-GAT

Side Impact Airbag (If Installed)

Your Hyundai is equipped with a side impactairbag in each front seat. The purpose of theairbag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/orthe front passenger with additional protectionthan that offered by the seat belt alone. The sideimpact airbags are designed to deploy onlyduring certain side impact collisions, dependingon the crash severity, angle, speed and point ofimpact. The side impact airbags are not de-signed to deploy in all side impact situations.

! WARNING:o Do not install a child restraint system in

the front passenger seat position.A child restraint system must never beplaced in the front seat. The infant orbaby could be severely injured by anairbag deployment in case of an acci-dent.

o Modification to SRS components orwir-ing, including the addition of anykind of badges to the pad covers ormodifications to the body structure,can adversely affect SRS performanceand lead to possible injury.

B240C03A-AAT

SRS Care

o The SRS is virtually maintenance free and thereare no parts you can safely service by yourself.The entire SRS system must be inspected byan authorized Hyundai dealer in 10 years afterthe date that the vehicle was manufactured.

o Any work on the SRS system, such as remov-ing, installing, repairing, or any work on thesteering wheel must be performed by a qualifiedHyundai technician. Improper handling of theairbag system may result in serious personalinjury.

B240C01HP

o To prevent unexpected deployment ofthe side impact air bag that may resultin personal injury, avoid impact to theside impact airbag sensor when theignition key is on.

WARNING:

o For cleaning the airbag pad covers, useonly a soft, dry cloth or one which hasbeen moistened with plain water. Sol-vents or cleaners could adversely affectthe airbag covers and proper deploymentof the system.

o No objects should be placed over ornear the airbag modules on the steer-ing wheel, instrument panel, and thefront passenger's panel above the glovebox, because any such object couldcause harm if the vehicle is in a crashsevere enough to cause the airbags toinflate.

o If the airbags inflate, they must bereplaced by an authorized Hyundaidealer.

o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRSwiring, or other components of the SRSsystem. Doing so could result in injury,due to accidental inflation of the airbagsor by rendering the SRS inoperative.

o If components of the airbag systemmust be discarded, or if the vehiclemust be scrapped, certain safety pre-cautions must be observed. YourHyundai dealer knows these precau-tions and can give you the necessaryinformation. Failure to follow theseprecautions and procedures could in-crease the risk of personal injury.

!

o Each seat belt is designed to restrainone occupant. If more than one personuses the same seat belt, they could beseriously injured or killed in a collision.

o Do not use any accessories on seatbelts. Devices claiming to improve occu-pant comfort or reposition the seat belt canreduce the protection provided by the seatbelt and increase the chance of seriousinjury in a crash.

o Passengers should not place hard orsharp objects between themselves andthe airbags. Carrying hard or sharp ob-jects on your lap or in your mouth can resultin injuries if an airbag inflates.

o Keep occupants away from the airbagcovers. All occupants should sit upright,fully back in their seats with their seat beltson and their feet on the floor. If occupantsare too close to the airbag covers, theycould be injured if the airbags inflate.

o Do not attach or place objects on ornear the airbag covers. Any object at-tached to or placed on the front or sideimpact airbag covers could interfere withthe proper operation of the airbags.

o Do not modify the front seats. Modifica-tion of the front seats could interfere withthe operation of the supplemental restraintsystem sensing components or side im-pact airbags.

B240D01JM-AAT

Additional Safety Precautions

o Never let passengers ride in the cargoarea (trunk) or on top of a folded-downback seat. All occupants should sit upright,fully back in their seats with their seat beltson and their feet on the floor.

o Passengers should not move out of orchange seats while the vehicle is mov-ing. A passenger who is not wearing a seatbelt during a crash or emergency stop canbe thrown against the inside of the vehicle,against other occupants, or out of thevehicle.

o If you sell your vehicle, be sure toinform the new owner of these impor-tant points and make certain that thismanual is transferred to the new owner.

o If your car was flooded and has soakedcarpeting or water on the floor, youshouldn't try to start the engine; havethe car towed to an authorized Hyundaidealer.

o Do not place items under the frontseats. Placing items under the front seatscould interfere with the operation of thesupplemental restraint system sensingcomponents and wiring harnesses.

o Never hold an infant or child on yourlap. The infant or child could be seriouslyinjured or killed in the event of a crash. Allinfants and children should be properlyrestrained in appropriate child safety seatsor seat belts in the rear seat.

WARNING:o Sitting improperly or out of position

can result in serious injury or death ina crash.

o Always sit upright, fully back in theseat, with your seat belt on, and yourfeet on the floor.

74 STEREO SOUND SYSTEM

FM broadcasts are transmitted at high fre-quencies and do not bend to follow the earth'ssurface. Because of this, FM broadcasts gen-erally begin to fade at short distances from thestation. Also, FM signals are easily affected bybuildings, mountains, or other obstructions.These can result in certain listening conditionswhich might lead you to believe a problemexists with your radio. The following conditionsare normal and do not indicate radio trouble:

AM broadcasts can be received at greater dis-tances than FM broadcasts. This is becauseAM radio waves are transmitted at low fre-quencies. These long, low frequency radiowaves can follow the curvature of the earthrather than travelling straight out into the atmo-sphere. In addition, they curve around ob-structions so that they can provide bettersignal coverage.

B750A02A-AAT

How Car Audio Works

AM and FM radio signals are broadcast fromtransmitter towers located around your city.They are intercepted by the radio antenna onyour car. This signal is then received by theradio and sent to your car speakers.When a strong radio signal has reached yourvehicle, the precise engineering of your audiosystem ensures the best possible quality re-production. However, in some cases the sig-nal coming to your vehicle may not be strongand clear. This can be due to factors such asthe distance from the radio station, closenessof other strong radio stations or the presenceof buildings, bridges or other large obstruc-tions in the area.

!o Station Swapping - As an FM signal weak-

ens, another more powerful signal near thesame frequency may begin to play. This isbecause your radio is designed to lock ontothe clearest signal. If this occurs, selectanother station with a stronger signal.

o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals be-ing received from several directions cancause distortion or fluttering. This can becaused by a direct and reflected signalfrom the same station, or by signals fromtwo stations with close frequencies. If thisoccurs, select another station until the con-dition has passed.

B750B03Y-AAT

Using a cellular phone or a two-wayradio

When a cellular phone is used inside the vehi-cle, noise may be produced from the audioequipment. This does not mean that somethingis wrong with the audio equipment. In such acase, use the cellular phone at a place as far aspossible from the audio equipment.

o Fading - As your car moves away from theradio station, the signal will weaken andsound will begin to fade. When this occurs,we suggest that you select another strongerstation.

o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or largeobstructions between the transmitter and yourradio can disturb the signal causing static orfluttering noises to occur. Reducing the tre-ble level may lessen this effect until thedisturbance clears.

B750A04L B750A05L WARNING:Don't use a cellular phone when you aredriving. Stop at a safe place to use a cellularphone.

Proper care of your cassette tapes will extendthe tape life and increase your listening enjoy-ment. Always protect your tapes and cassettecases from direct sunlight, severely cold anddusty conditions. When not in use, cassettesshould always be stored in the protective cas-sette case in which they were originally sup-plied. When the vehicle is very hot or cold, allowthe interior temperature to become more com-fortable before listening to your cassettes.


92

o Keep all magnetized objects, such as elec-tric motors, speakers or transformers awayfrom your cassette tapes and tape playerunit.

o Store cassettes in a cool, dry place with theopen side facing down to prevent dust fromsettling in the cassette body.

o Avoid repeated fast reverse usage to re-play one given tune or tape section. Thiscan cause poor tape winding to occur, andeventually cause excessive internal dragand poor audio quality in the cassette. Ifthis occurs, it can sometimes be correctedby fast winding the tape from end to endseveral times. If this does not correct theproblem, do not continue to use the tape inyour vehicle.

Turn the ignition key to the "Start" positionand release it when the engine starts.After the engine has started, allow the engineto run for 10 to 20 seconds prior to placingthe vehicle in gear.The starter should not be operated for morethan 15 seconds at a time. Wait 15-30 sec-onds between starting attempts to protectthe starter from overheating.

C050B01A-AAT

Normal Conditions:

The Starting Procedure:

1. Insert key, and fasten the seat belt.2. Depress the clutch pedal fully and place the

gearshift lever (manual transaxle) in neutralor the selector lever (automatic transaxle) in"P" (park) position.

3. After turning the ignition key to the "ON"position, make certain all warning lights andgauges are functioning properly before start-ing the engine.

WARNING:Be sure that the clutch is fully depressedwhen starting a manual transaxle vehicle.Your manual transaxle equipped vehicle willnot start unless the clutch pedal is fullydepressed. On a manual transaxle equippedvehicle that can be started without depress-ing the clutch, there is the potential to causedamage to the vehicle or injury to someoneinside or outside the vehicle as a result ofthe forward or backward movement of thevehicle that will occur if the clutch is notdepressed when the vehicle is started.

C070E03A-AAT

RECOMMENDED SHIFT POINTS

C070D02O-AAT

Good Driving Practices

o Never take the car out of gear and coastdown a hill. This is extremely hazardous.Always leave the car in gear.

o Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause themto overheat and malfunction. Instead, whenyou are driving down a long hill, slow downand shift to a lower gear. When you do this,engine braking will help slow the car.

o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear.This will help avoid over-revving the engine,which can cause damage.

o Slow down when you encounter cross winds.This gives you much better control of yourcar.

o Be sure the car is completely stopped beforeyou attempt to shift into reverse. The transaxlecan be damaged if you do not. To shift intoreverse, depress the clutch, move the shiftlever to neutral, wait three seconds, thenshift to the reverse position.

o Exercise extreme caution when driving on aslippery surface. Be especially careful whenbraking, accelerating or shifting gears. On aslippery surface, an abrupt change in vehiclespeed can cause the drive wheels to losetraction and the vehicle to go out of control.

C070B01A-AAT

Using the Clutch

The clutch should be pressed all the way to thefloor before shifting, then released slowly. Donot rest your foot on the clutch pedal whiledriving. This can cause unnecessary wear.Do not partially engage the clutch to hold the caron an incline. This causes unnecessary wear.Use the parking brake to hold the car on anincline. Do not operate the clutch pedal rapidlyand repeatedly.

o If you've come to a complete stop andit's hard to shift into 1st or R(Reverse),put the shift lever in N(Neutral) positionand release the clutch. Press the clutchpedal back down, and then shift into 1st

or R(Reverse) gear position.o Do not use the shift lever as a handrest

during driving, as this can result in pre-mature wear of the transaxle shift forks.

CAUTION:When downshifting from fifth gear tofourth gear, caution should be taken notto inadvertently press the gear shift leversideways in such a manner that secondgear is engaged. Such a drastic downshiftmay cause the engine speed to increase tothe point that the tachometer will enter thered zone. Such over revving of the enginemay possibly cause engine damage.

2AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE

! WARNING:o Avoid high cornering speeds.o Do not make quick steering wheel move-

ments, such as sharp lane changes orfast, sharp turns.

o Always wear your seat belts.In a collision crash, un unbelted personis significantly more likely to die than aperson wearing a seatbelt.

o The risk of rollover is greatly increasedif you lose control of your vehicle athighway speeds.

o Loss of control often occurs if two ormore wheels drop off the roadway andthe driver oversteers to reenter the road-way.

o In the event your vehicle leaves theroadway, do not steer sharply. Instead,slow down before pulling back into thetravel lanes.

o Never exceed posted speed limits.

C090A01A-AAT

The highly efficient Hyundai automatictransaxle has four forward speeds and onereverse speed. It has a conventional shiftpattern as shown in the illustration. At night,with the multi-function switch turned on to theparking light or head light position the appro-priate symbol on the shift pattern indicator willbe illuminated according to the range selected.

CAUTION:Never shift into "R" or "P" position whilethe car is moving.

C090A01A

!

C090B02A-AAT

The function of each position is as fol-lows:

o P (Park):

Use to hold the vehicle in place when parking orwhile starting the engine. Whenever parkingthe car, apply the parking brake and shift theselector lever to the "P" (Park) position.

NOTE:Depress the brake pedal and pushthe button when shifting

Push the button when shifting

The selector lever can be shifted freely.

For optimum fuel economy, accelerate gradu-ally. The transaxle will automatically shift to thesecond, third and overdrive gears.

CAUTION:Never place the selector lever in the "P"(Park) position unless the vehicle is fullystopped. Failure to observe this caution willcause severe damage to the transaxle.

!

C090G01A-AAT

o L (Low gear):

Use for driving up a very steep grade or forengine braking when descending steep hills.When downshifting to "L", the transaxle willtemporarily remain in second gear until the ve-hicle has slowed enough for low gear to engage.Do not exceed 31 mph (50 km/h) in low gear.

C090F01A-AAT

o 2 (Second gear):

Use for driving on a slippery road, hill climbingor engine braking downhill. "2" automaticallyshifts between first and second gears.This means that no shift-up to 3rd gear is per-formed. However, the shift-up to third gear isdone when the car speed exceeds a certainvalue to prevent the engine from over-revving.Manually move the selector to "D" returning tonormal driving condition.

C090H01A-AAT

NOTE:o For smooth and safe operation, de-

press the brake pedal when shiftingfrom "Neutral" position or "Park" posi-tion to a forward or reverse gear.

o The ignition key must be in the "ON"position and the brake pedal fully de-pressed in order to move the shift leverfrom the "P" (Park) position to any of theother positions.

o It is always possible to shift from "R","N", "D", "2", "L" position to "P" posi-tion.

C090C01A-AAT

o R(Reverse):

Use for backing up the vehicle. Bring the car toa complete stop before shifting the selectorlever to "R" position.

C090D02A-AAT

o N (Neutral):

In the "N" position, the transaxle is in neutralposition, which means that no gears are en-gaged. The engine can be started with the shiftlever in "N" position, although this is not recom-mended except if the engine stalls while the caris moving.

C090E01A-AAT

o D (Drive):

Use for normal driving. The transaxle will auto-matically shift through a four-gear sequence.Never downshift manually to "2" position or "L"position when vehicle speed is more than 60mph (96 km/h).

Overdrive Switch

When the overdrive switch is turned on, thetransaxle will automatically upshift to the sec-ond, third and overdrive gears. When the over-drive switch is turned off, the transaxle will notupshift to the overdrive gear. For normal driving,the selector lever should be left in the "D"position and the overdrive switch turned on.If you need to accelerate rapidly, press theaccelerator pedal all the way to the floor. Thetransaxle will automatically shift to a lower gear,depending on the vehicle speed and load.

C090P01A


10 GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES

o Turn the overdrive switch on for good fueleconomy and smooth driving. If engine brak-ing is needed in the "D" range or if repeatedupshifting and downshifting between the 3rdand 4th gear is needed when climbing agentle slope, it is recommended that theoverdrive switch be turned off. Turn the over-drive switch back on immediately afterward.

C090N03A-AAT

Good Driving Practices

o Never move the gear selector lever from "P"or "N" to any other position with the acceler-ator pedal depressed.

o Never move the gear selector lever into "P"when the vehicle is in motion.

o Be sure the car is completely stopped beforeyou attempt to shift into "R".

o Never take the car out of gear and coastdown a hill. This may be extremely hazard-ous. Always leave the car in gear whenmoving.

o Do not "ride" the brakes. This can causethem to overheat and malfunction. Instead,when you are driving down a long hill, slowdown and shift to a lower gear. When you dothis, engine braking will help slow the car.

o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear.Otherwise, the lower gear may not be en-gaged.

o Always use the parking brake. Do not de-pend on placing the transaxle in "P" to keepthe car from moving.

o Exercise extreme caution when driving on aslippery surface. Be especially careful whenbraking, accelerating or shifting gears. On aslippery surface, an abrupt change in vehiclespeed can cause the drive wheels to losetraction and the vehicle to go out of control.

WARNING:o Avoid high cornering speeds.o Do not make quick steering wheel move-

ments, such as sharp lane changes orfast, sharp turns.

o Always wear your seat belts.In a collision crash, un unbelted personis significantly more likely to die than aperson wearing a seatbelt.

o The risk of rollover is greatly increasedif you lose control of your vehicle athighway speeds.

o Loss of control often occurs if two ormore wheels drop off the roadway andthe driver oversteers to reenter the road-way.

o In the event your vehicle leaves theroadway, do not steer sharply. Instead,slow down before pulling back into thetravel lanes.

o Never exceed posted speed limits.

WARNING:Nothing should be carried on top of theshelf panel behind the rear seat. If therewere an accident or a sudden stop, suchobjects could move forward and causedamage to the vehicle or injure the occu-pants.

o After being parked, check to be sure theparking brake is not engaged and that theparking brake indicator light is out beforedriving away.

o Driving through water may get the brakeswet. They can also get wet when the car iswashed. Wet brakes can be dangerous! Yourcar will not stop as quickly if the brakes arewet. Wet brakes may cause the car to pull toone side. To dry the brakes, apply the brakeslightly until the braking action returns to nor-mal, taking care to keep the car under con-trol at all times. If the braking action does notreturn to normal, stop as soon as it is safe todo so and call your Hyundai dealer for assis-tance.

o Don't coast down hills with the car out ofgear. This is extremely hazardous. Keepthe car in gear at all times, use the brakesto slow down, then shift to a lower gear so

that engine braking will help you maintain asafe speed.

o Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Resting yourfoot on the brake pedal while driving can bedangerous because it can result in the brakesoverheating and losing their effectiveness. Italso increases the wear of the brake compo-nents.

o If a tire goes flat while you are driving, applythe brakes gently and keep the car pointedstraight ahead while you slow down. Whenyou are moving slowly enough for it to besafe to do so, pull off the road and stop in asafe place.

o If your car is equipped with an automatictransaxle, don't let your car creep forward.To avoid creeping forward, keep your footfirmly on the brake pedal when the car isstopped.

o Use caution when parking on a hill. Engagethe parking brake and place the gear selec-tor lever in "P" (automatic transaxle) or infirst or reverse gear (manual transaxle). Ifyour car is facing downhill, turn the frontwheels into the curb to help keep the carfrom rolling. If your car is facing uphill, turnthe front wheels away from the curb to helpkeep the car from rolling. If there is no curbor if it is required by other conditions to keepthe car from rolling, block the wheels.

o Under some conditions your parking brakecan freeze in the engaged position. This ismost likely to happen when there is anaccumulation of snow or ice around or nearthe rear brakes or if the brakes are wet. Ifthere is a risk that the parking brake mayfreeze, apply it only temporarily while youput the gear selector lever in "P" (automat-ic) or in first or reverse gear (manualtransaxle) and block the rear wheels so thecar cannot roll. Then release the parkingbrake.

o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade withthe accelerator pedal. This can cause thetransaxle to overheat. Always use the brakepedal or parking brake.

C120A03A-AAT

(If Installed)

The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is de-signed to prevent wheel lock-up during sud-den braking or on hazardous road surfaces.The ABS control module monitors the wheelspeed and controls the pressure applied toeach brake. Thus, in emergency situations oron slick roads, ABS will increase vehicle con-trol during braking.

NOTE:A click sound may be heard in the enginecompartment when the vehicle begins tomove after the engine is started. Theseconditions are normal and indicate thatthe anti-lock brake system (Electronic Sta-bility Control) is functioning properly.During ABS operation, a slight pulsationmay be felt in the brake pedal when thebrakes are applied. Also, a noise may beheard in the engine compartment whilebraking. These conditions are normal andindicate that the anti-lock brake system isfunctioning properly.


12 DRIVING FOR ECONOMY

! WARNING:ABS will not prevent accidents due toimproper or dangerous driving maneu-vers. Even though vehicle control is im-proved during emergency braking, alwaysmaintain a safe distance between you andobjects ahead. Vehicle speeds should al-ways be reduced during extreme roadconditions.The braking distance for cars equippedwith an anti-lock braking system may belonger than for those without it in thefollowing road conditions.During these conditions the veicle shouldbe driven at reduced speeds.

o Rough, gravel or snow-covered roads.o With tire chains installed.o On roads where the road surface is

pitted or has different surface height.

These roads should be driven at reducedspeeds. The safety features of an ABSequipped vehicle should not be tested byhigh speed driving or cornering. This couldendanger the safety of yourself or others.

C140A01A-AAT

You can save fuel and get more miles fromyour car if you follow these suggestions:

o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderaterate. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts or full-throttle shifts and maintain a steady cruisingspeed. Don't race between stoplights. Try toadjust your speed to that of the other trafficso you don't have to change speeds unnec-essarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever possi-ble. Always maintain a safe distance fromother vehicles so you can avoid unneces-sary braking. This also reduces brake wear.

o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster youdrive, the more fuel your car uses. Driving ata moderate speed, especially on the high-way, is one of the most effective ways toreduce fuel consumption.

o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. Thiscan increase fuel consumption and also in-crease wear on these components. In addi-tion, driving with your foot resting on thebrake pedal may cause the brakes to over-heat, which reduces their effectiveness andmay lead to more serious consequences.

o Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated tothe recommended pressure. Incorrect infla-tion, either too much or too little, results inunnecessary tire wear. Check the tire pres-sures at least once a month.

o Be sure that the wheels are aligned cor-rectly. Improper alignment can result fromhitting curbs or driving too fast over irreg-ular surfaces. Poor alignment causes fastertire wear and may also result in otherproblems as well as greater fuel consump-tion.

o Keep your car in good condition. For betterfuel economy and reduced maintenancecosts, maintain your car in accordance withthe maintenance schedule in Section 5. Ifyou drive your car in severe conditions, morefrequent maintenance is required (see Sec-tion 5 for details).

o Keep your car clean. For maximum service,your Hyundai should be kept clean and freeof corrosive materials. It is especially impor-tant that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed toaccumulate on the underside of the car. Thisextra weight can result in increased fuelconsumption and also contribute to corro-sion.

o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary weightin your car. Weight reduces fuel economy.

o Don't let the engine idle longer than neces-sary. If you are waiting (and not in traffic),turn off your engine and restart only whenyou're ready to go.


13

o Remember, your Hyundai does not requireextended warm-up. As soon as the engineis running smoothly, you can drive away. Invery cold weather, however, give your en-gine a slightly longer warm-up period.

o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lug-ging is driving too slowly in too high a gearresulting in the engine bucking. If this hap-pens, shift to a lower gear. Over-revving isracing the engine beyond its safe limit. Thiscan be avoided by shifting at the recom-mended speeds.

o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The airconditioning system is operated by enginepower so your fuel economy is reducedwhen you use it.

WINTER DRIVINGSMOOTH CORNERING

C160A01A-AAT

The more severe weather conditions of winterresult in greater wear and other problems. Tominimize the problems of winter driving, youshould follow these suggestions:

C160B01A-AAT

Snowy or Icy Conditions

To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may benecessary to use snow tires or to install tirechains on your tires. If snow tires are needed, itis necessary to select tires equivalent in sizeand type to the original equipment tires. Failureto do so may adversely affect the safety andhandling of your car. Furthermore, speeding,rapid acceleration, sudden brake applications,and sharp turns are potentially very hazardouspractices.During deceleration, use engine braking to thefullest extent. Sudden brake applications onsnowy or icy roads may cause skids to occur.You need to keep sufficient distance betweenthe vehicle in operation in front and your vehicle.Also, apply the brake gently. It should be notedthat installing tire chains on the tire will providea greater driving force, but will not prevent sideskids.

NOTE:Tire chains are not legal in all states. Checkstate laws before fitting tire chains.

C150A01A-AAT

Avoid braking or gear changing in corners,especially when roads are wet. Ideally, cor-ners should always be taken under gentleacceleration. If you follow these suggestions,tire wear will be held to a minimum.


14

C160D01A-AAT

Check Battery and Cables

Winter puts additional burdens on the batterysystem. Visually inspect the battery and cablesas described in Section 6. The level of charge inyour battery can be checked by your Hyundaidealer or a service station.

C160E01A-AAT

Change to "Winter Weight" Oil ifNecessary

In some climates it is recommended that a lowerviscosity "winter weight" oil be used during coldweather. See Section 9 for recommendations. Ifyou aren't sure what weight oil you should use,consult your Hyundai dealer.

C160C01A-AAT

Use High Quality Ethylene GlycolCoolant

Your Hyundai is delivered with high quality eth-ylene glycol coolant in the cooling system. It isthe only type of coolant that should be usedbecause it helps prevent corrosion in the coolingsystem, lubricates the water pump and preventsfreezing. Be sure to replace or replenish yourcoolant in accordance with the maintenanceschedule in Section 5. Before winter, have yourcoolant tested to assure that its freezing point issufficient for the temperatures anticipated dur-ing the winter.

C160H01A-AAT

Use Approved Anti-Freeze in WindowWasher System

To keep the water in the window washer systemfrom freezing, add an approved anti-freeze so-lution in accordance with instructions on thecontainer. Window washer anti-freeze is avail-able from Hyundai dealers and most auto partsoutlets. Do not use engine coolant or other typesof anti-freeze as these may damage the finish.

C160F01A-AAT

Check Spark Plugs and IgnitionSystem

Inspect your spark plugs as described in Sec-tion 6 and replace them if necessary. Alsocheck all ignition wiring and components to besure they are not cracked, worn or damaged inany way.

C160G01A-AAT

To Keep Locks from Freezing

To keep the locks from freezing, squirt an ap-proved de-icer fluid or glycerine into the keyopening. If a lock is covered with ice, squirt itwith an approved de-icing fluid to remove theice. If the lock is frozen internally, you may beable to thaw it out by using a heated key. Handlethe heated key with care to avoid injury.

C160I01A-AAT

Don't Let Your Parking Brake Freeze

Under some conditions your parking brake canfreeze in the engaged position. This is mostlikely to happen when there is an accumulationof snow or ice around or near the rear brakes orif the brakes are wet. If you think the parkingbrake may freeze, apply it only temporarily whileyou put the gear selector lever in "P" (automatic)or in first or reverse gear (manual transaxle) andblock the rear wheels so the car cannot roll.Then release the parking brake.

C160K01A-AAT

Carry Emergency Equipment

Depending on the severity of the weather whereyou drive your car, you should carry appropriateemergency equipment. Some of the items youmay want to carry include tire chains, tow strapsor chains, flashlight, emergency flares, sand, ashovel, jumper cables, a window scraper, gloves,ground cloth, coveralls, a blanket, etc.

C160J01A-AAT

Don't Let Ice and Snow AccumulateUnderneath

Under some conditions, snow and ice can buildup under the fenders and interfere with thesteering. When driving in severe winter condi-tions where this may happen, you should peri-odically check underneath the car to be sure themovement of the front wheels and the steeringcomponents is not obstructed.

C170A01A-AAT

Pre-Trip Inspections

1. Tires:Adjust the tire inflation pressures for highwaydriving. Low tire inflation pressures will result inoverheating and possible failure of the tires.Avoid using worn or damaged tires which mayresult in reduced traction or tire failure.

NOTE:Never exceed the maximum tire inflation pres-sure shown on the tires.

2. Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil:High speed travel consumes more fuel thanurban motoring. Do not forget to check bothengine coolant and engine oil.

3. Drive belt:A loose or damaged drive belt may result inoverheating of the engine.


16 TRAILER TOWINGUSE OF LIGHTS

C190A01A-AAT

Your Hyundai should not be used to tow atrailer. It is designed to be compact and lightfor good fuel economy, and is not designed asa trailer-towing vehicle. Damages or malfunc-tions caused by towing may not be covered bythe limited warranties applying to your Hyundai.Damages or malfunctions that result from tow-ing a trailer for commercial purposes are specifi-cally not covered by Hyundai limited warranties.

C180A01A-AAT

Vehicle capacity weight:880 lbs (400 kg)Vehicle capacity weight is the maxi-mum combined weight of occupantsand cargo. If your vehicle is equippedwith a trailer, the combined weightincludes the tongue load.

Seating capacity:Total: 5 persons

(Front seat: 2 persons,Rear seat: 3 persons)

Seating capacity is the maximum num-ber of occupants including a driver,your vehicle may carry.However the seating capacity may bereduced based upon the weight of allof the occupants, and the weight of thecargo being carried or towed. Do notoverload the vehicle as there is a limitto the total weight, or load limit includ-ing occupants and cargo, the vehiclecan carry.

Towing capacity:Towing capacity is the maximum trailerweight including its cargo weight, yourvehicle can tow. See the section"Trailer or Vehicle Towing" for specifi-cations about the trailer weight.

Cargo capacity:The cargo capacity of your vehicle willincrease or decrease depending on theweight and the number of occupantsand the tongue load, if your vehicle isequipped with a trailer.

Steps for Determining Correct LoadLimit(1)Locate the statement "The com-

bined weight of occupants and cargoshould never exceed XXX pounds''on your vehicle's placard.

(2)Determine the combined weight ofthe driver and passengers that willbe riding in your vehicle.

(3)Subtract the combined weight of thedriver and passengers from XXXkilograms or XXX pounds.

(4)The resulting figure equals the avail-able amount of cargo and luggageload capacity. For example, if the"XXX" amount equals 1400 lbs, andthere will be five 150 lb. passengersin your vehicle, the amount of avail-able cargo and luggage load capac-ity is 650 lbs. (1400-750 (5 x 150) =650 lbs.)

(5)Determine the combined weight ofluggage and cargo being loaded onthe vehicle. That weight may notsafely exceed the available cargoand luggage load capacity calcu-lated in Step 4.

(6)If your vehicle will be towing a trailer,load from your trailer will be trans-ferred to your vehicle. Consult thismanual to determine how this re-duces the available cargo and lug-gage load capacity of your vehicle.

Refer to your vehicle’s tire and loadinginformation label for specific informa-tion about your vehicle’s capacityweight and seating positions. The com-bined weight of the driver, passengersand cargo should never exceed yourvehicle’s capacity weight.

!The label shows the maximum allow-able weight of the fully loaded vehicle.This is called the GVWR (Gross Ve-hicle Weight Rating). The GVWR in-cludes the weight of the vehicle, alloccupants, fuel and cargo.

This label also tells you the maximumweights that can be supported by thefront and rear axles, called Gross AxleWeight Rating (GAWR). To find out theactual loads on your front and rearaxles, you need to go to a weighstation and weigh your vehicle. Yourdealer can help you with this. Be sureto spread out your load equally on bothsides of the centerline.

WARNING:o Never exceed the GVWR for your

vehicle, the GAWR for either thefront or rear axle and vehicle ca-pacity weight. Exceeding theseratings can cause an accident orvehicle damage. You can calcu-late the weight of your load byweighing the items (or people)before putting them in the ve-hicle. Be careful not to overloadyour vehicle.

o Do not load your vehicle anyheavier than the GVWR, either themaximum front or rear GAWR andvehicle capacity weight. If youdo, parts, including tires on yourvehicle can break, and it canchange the way your vehiclehandles and braking ability. Thiscould cause you to lose controland crash. Also, overloading canshorten the life of your vehicle.

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS

!

! WARNING:While the engine is running, keep hands,long hair and clothing away from movingparts such as the fan and drive belts toprevent injury.

D030A02A-AAT

If your temperature gauge indicates overheat-ing, you experience a loss of power, or hear loudpinging or knocking, the engine is probably toohot. If this happens, you should:

1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safeto do so.

2. Place the gear selector lever in "P" (auto-matic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and setthe parking brake. If the air conditioner is on,turn it off.

3. If coolant is running out under the car orsteam is coming out from the hood, stop theengine. Do not open the hood until the cool-ant has stopped running or the steaming hasstopped. If there is no visible loss of coolantand no steam, leave the engine running andcheck to be sure the engine cooling fan isoperating. If the fan is not running, turn theengine off.

4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt ismissing. If it is not missing, check to see thatit is tight. If the drive belt seems to besatisfactory, check for coolant leaking fromthe radiator, hoses or under the car. (If the airconditioner had been in use, it is normal forcold water to be draining from it when youstop).

5. If the water pump drive belt is broken orcoolant is leaking out, stop the engine im-mediately and call the nearest Hyundai deal-er for assistance.

WARNING:Do not remove the radiator cap when theengine is hot. This may allow coolant to beblown out of the opening and cause seriousburns.

6. If you cannot find the cause of the overheat-ing, wait until the engine temperature hasreturned to normal. Then, if coolant has beenlost, carefully add water to the reservoir(Page 6-7) to bring the fluid level in thereservoir up to the halfway mark.

7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for fur-ther signs of overheating. If overheating hap-pens again, call a Hyundai dealer for assis-tance.

Then attach the other end of that cable to asolid metal part of the engine away from thebattery. Do not connect the cable to anymoving part.

4. Start the engine in the car with the boosterbattery and let it run for a few minutes. Thiswill help to assure that the booster battery isfully charged. During the jumping operation,run the engine in this vehicle at about 2000rpm.

5. Start the engine in the car with the dis-charged battery using the normal startingprocedure. After the engine starts, leave thejumper cables connected and let the enginerun at fast idle or about 2000 rpm for severalminutes.

6. Carefully remove the jumper cables in thereverse order of attachment.

If you do not know why your battery becamedischarged (because the lights were left on,etc.), have the charging system checked byyour Hyundai dealer.


5SPARE TIRE

If a tire goes flat while you are driving:

1. Take your foot off the acceleratorpedal and let the car slow downwhile driving straight ahead. Do notapply the brakes immediately orattempt to pull off the road as thismay cause a loss of control. Whenthe car has slowed to such a speedthat it is safe to do so, brake care-fully and pull off the road. Drive offthe road as far as possible andpark on firm, level ground. If youare on a divided highway, do notpark in the median area betweenthe two traffic lanes.

2. When the car is stopped, turn onyour emergency hazard flashers,set the parking brake and put thetransaxle in "P" (automatic) or re-verse (manual transaxle).

CAUTION:o Do not use snow chains with

your temporary spare tire.o Do not use more than one tem-

porary spare tire at a time.o Do not tow a trailer while the

temporary spare tire is installed.

D060D01A-AAT

3. Loosen Wheel Nuts

The wheel nuts should be loosenedslightly before raising the car. Toloosen the nuts, turn the wrenchhandle counterclockwise. When do-ing this, be sure that the socket isseated completely over the nut so itcannot slip off. For maximum lever-age, position the wrench so the handleis to the right as shown in the draw-ing. Then, while holding the wrenchnear the end of the handle, pull up onit with steady pressure. Do not re-

Raise the car high enough so that thefully inflated spare tire can be in-stalled. To do this, you will need moreground clearance than is required toremove the flat tire.

D060G02Y-AAT

6. Changing Wheels

Loosen the wheel nuts and removethem with your fingers. Slide the wheeloff the studs and lay it flat so it cannotroll away. To put the wheel on thehub, pick up the spare tire, line up theholes with the studs and slide thewheel onto them. If this is difficult, tipthe wheel slightly and get the top holein the wheel lined up with the topstud. Then jiggle the wheel back andforth until the wheel can be slid overthe other studs.

D060G01A

WARNING:Do not get under the car when it issupported by the jack! This is verydangerous as the vehicle couldfall and cause serious injury ordeath. No one should stay in thecar while the jack is being used.

!WARNING:

Wheels and wheel covers may havesharp edges. Handle them care-fully to avoid possible severe in-jury.Before putting the wheel into place,be sure that there is nothing onthe hub or wheel (such as mud,tar, gravel, etc.) that interferes withthe wheel fitting solidly againstthe hub. If there is, remove it.

D060H02A-AAT

7. Re-install Wheel Nuts

To reinstall the wheel cover, hold it onthe studs, put the wheel nuts on thestuds and tighten them finger tight.The nuts should be installed with theirsmall diameter ends directed inward.Jiggle the tire to be sure it is com-pletely seated, then tighten the nutsas much as possible with your fingersagain.

D060H01A

If there is not good contact on themounting surface between thewheel and hub, the wheel nutscould loosen and cause the lossof a wheel. Loss of a wheel mayresult in loss of control of thevehicle. This may cause seriousinjury or death.

D060I01E-GAT

8. Lower Vehicle and Tighten Nuts

Lower the car to the ground by turn-ing the wheel nut wrench counter-clockwise. Then position the wrenchas shown in the drawing and tightenthe wheel nuts. Be sure the socket isseated completely over the nut. Donot stand on the wrench or use anextension pipe over the wrenchhandle.Go around the wheel tightening everyother nut until they are all tight. Thendouble-check each nut for tightness.

IF YOUR CAR MUST BE TOWED

D060J01E-AAT

After Changing Wheels

If you have a tire gauge, remove thevalve cap and check the air pressure.

D080A01A-AAT

CAUTION:Your car can be damaged if towed incor-rectly!

HLC4012

If your car has to be towed, it should be done byyour Hyundai dealer or a commercial tow truckservice. This will help assure that your car is notdamaged in towing. Also, professionals are gen-erally aware of state and local laws governingtowing. In any case, rather than risk damage toyour car, it is suggested that you show thisinformation to the tow truck operator. Be surethat a safety chain system is used and that allstate and local laws are observed.

o OK FOR AUTOMATIC OR MANUALTRANSAXLE EQUIPPED VEHICLE

!

After changing wheels, have a techni-cian tighten the wheel nuts to theirproper torque as soon as possible.

Wheel nut tightening torque:

Steel wheel & aluminium alloy wheel:65-80 lb.ft (900-1,100 kg.cm)

If the pressure is lower than recom-mended, drive slowly to the nearestservice station and inflate to the cor-rect pressure. If it is too high, adjustit until it is correct. Always reinstallthe valve cap after checking or ad-justing tire pressure. If the cap is notreplaced, air may leak from the tire. Ifyou lose a valve cap, buy anotherand install it as soon as possible.After you have changed wheels, al-ways secure the flat tire in its place inthe trunk and return the jack and toolsto their proper storage locations.

2 TO HELP PREVENT CORROSIONCORROSION PROTECTION

E010B01A-AAT

Common Causes of Corrosion

The most common causes of corrosion on yourcar are:

o Road salt, dirt and moisture that is allowed toaccumulate underneath the car.

o Removal of paint or protective coatings bystones, gravel, abrasion or minor scrapesand dents which leave unprotected metalexposed to corrosion.

E010A01A-AAT

Protecting Your Hyundai from Corro-sionBy using the most advanced design and con-struction practices to combat corrosion, Hyundaiproduces cars of the highest quality. However,this is only part of the job. To achieve the longterm corrosion resistance your Hyundai candeliver, the owner's cooperation and assistanceis also required.

E010C01A-AAT

High-Corrosion Areas

If you live in an area where your car is regularlyexposed to corrosive materials, corrosion pro-tection is particularly important. Some of thecommon causes of accelerated corrosion areroad salts, dust control chemicals, ocean airand industrial pollution.

E010D01A-AAT

Moisture Breeds Corrosion

Moisture creates the conditions in which corro-sion is most likely to occur. For example, corro-sion is accelerated by high humidity, particularlywhen temperatures are just above freezing. Insuch conditions, the corrosive material is kept incontact with the car surfaces by moisture that isslow to evaporate.Mud is a particular enemy of corrosion protec-tion because it is slow to dry and holds moisturein contact with the vehicle. Even though the mudappears to be dry, it can still retain moisture andpromote corrosion.High temperatures can also accelerate corro-sion of parts that are not properly ventilated sothe moisture can be dispersed. For all thesereasons, it is particularly important to keep yourcar clean and free of mud or accumulations ofother materials. This applies not only on thevisible surfaces but particularly to the undersideof the car.

E020A01A-AAT

You can help prevent corrosion from gettingstarted by observing the following:

E020B01A-AAT

Keep Your Car Clean

The best way to prevent corrosion is to keepyour car clean and free of corrosive materials.Attention to the underside of the car is particu-larly important.

o If you live in a high-corrosion area — whereroad salts are used, near the ocean, areaswith industrial pollution, acid rain, etc.— youshould take extra care to prevent corrosion.In winter, hose off the underside of your carat least once a month and be sure to cleanthe underside thoroughly when winter is over.

o When cleaning underneath the car, give par-ticular attention to the components under thefenders and other areas that are hidden fromview. Do a thorough job; just dampening theaccumulated mud rather than washing it awaywill accelerate corrosion rather than preventit. Water under high pressure and steam areparticularly effective in removing accumulat-ed mud and corrosive materials.

E020C01A-AAT

Keep Your Garage Dry

Don't park your car in a damp, poorly ventilatedgarage. This creates a favorable environmentfor corrosion. This is particularly true if you washyour car in the garage or drive it into the garagewhen it is still wet or covered with snow, ice ormud. Even a heated garage can contribute tocorrosion unless it is well ventilated so moistureis dispersed.

E020D01A-AAT

Keep Paint and Trim in Good Condition

Scratches or chips in the finish should be cov-ered with "touch-up" paint as soon as possibleto reduce the possibility of corrosion. If baremetal is showing through, the attention of aqualified body and paint shop is recommended.

o When cleaning lower door panels, rockerpanels and frame members, be sure thatdrain holes are kept open so that moisturecan escape and not be trapped inside to ac-celerate corrosion.

WASHING AND WAXING

E030A01A-AAT

Washing Your Hyundai

Never wash your car when the surface is hotfrom being in the sun. Always wash your car inthe shade.

Wash your car frequently. Dirt is abrasive andcan scratch the paint if it is not removed. Airpollution or acid rain may damage the paint andtrim through chemical action if pollutants areallowed to remain in contact with the surface. Ifyou live near the ocean or in an area where roadsalts or dust control chemicals are used, youshould pay particular attention to the undersideof the car. Start by rinsing the car to removedust and loose dirt. In winter, or if you havedriven through mud or muddy water, be sure tothoroughly clean the underside as well. Use ahard direct stream of water to remove accumu-lations of mud or corrosive materials. Use agood quality car-washing solution and follow themanufacturer's directions on the package. Theseare available at your Hyundai dealer or autoparts outlet. Don't use strong household deter-gents, gasoline, strong solvents or abrasivecleaning powders as these may damage thefinish.

E020E01A-AAT

Don't Neglect the Interior

Moisture can collect under the floor mats andcarpeting to cause corrosion. Check under themats periodically to be sure the carpeting is dry.Use particular care if you carry fertilizers, clean-ing materials or chemicals in the car.These should be carried only in proper contain-ers and any spills or leaks should be cleanedup, flushed with clear water and thoroughlydried.


4

Use a clean sponge or cloth, rinse it frequentlyand don't damage the finish by rubbing too hard.For stubborn spots, dampen them frequentlyand remove them a little at a time.

To clean whitewall tires, use a stiff brush orsoap-impregnated steel-wool scouring pad.

To clean plastic wheel covers, use a cleansponge or soft cloth and water.

To clean cast aluminum alloy wheels, use a mildsoap or neutral detergent. Do not use abrasivecleaners. Protect the bare-metal surfaces bycleaning, polishing and waxing. Because alumi-num is subject to corrosion, be sure to givealuminum alloy wheels special attention in win-ter. If you drive on salted roads, clean thewheels thoroughly afterwards.

After washing, be sure to rinse thoroughly. Ifsoapy water dries on the finish, streaking willresult.

When the weather is warm and the humidity low,you may find it necessary to rinse each sectionimmediately after washing to avoid streaking.

After rinsing, dry the car using a damp chamoisor soft, absorbent cloth. The reason for dryingthe car is to remove water from the car so it willdry without water spots. Don't rub, this candamage the finish.

If you find any nicks or scratches in the paint,use touch-up paint to cover them to preventcorrosion. To protect the paintwork of the caragainst corrosion, you must clean your Hyundai(at least once a month). Give special attentionto the removal of salt, mud and other substanc-es on the underside of the splashboards of thecar. Make sure that the outlets and the under-side of the doors are open. Paint damage can becaused by small accumulation of tar, industrialprecipitation, tree resin, insects and bird drop-pings, when not removed immediately.If water alone is not strong enough to removethe accumulated dirt, use a mild car washingsolution. Be sure to rinse the surface afterwashing to remove the solution. Never allow thesolution to dry on the painted surfaces.

E030B01A-AAT

Spot Cleaning

Don't use gasoline, strong solvents or corrosivecleaning agents. These can damage the finishof the car. To remove road tar, use turpentine ona clean, soft cloth. Be gentle.To remove dead insects or tree sap, use warmwater and mild soap or car-washing solution.Soak the spot and rub gently. If the paint haslost its luster, use a commercial car-cleaningpolish.

E030C01A-AAT

Polishing and Waxing

Always wash and dry the car before polishing orwaxing or using a combination cleaner and wax.Use a good quality commercial product andfollow the manufacturer's directions on the con-tainer. Polish and wax the bright trim pieces aswell as the paint.

E030D01A-AAT

When to Wax Again

You should polish and wax the car again whenwater no longer beads on a clean surface butspreads out over a larger area.

E030E01A-AAT

Maintaining Bumpers

Special precautions must be observed to pre-serve the appearance of the bumpers on yourHyundai. They are:

o Be careful not to spill battery electrolyte orhydraulic brake fluid on the bumpers. If youdo, wash it off immediately with clean water.

o Be gentle when cleaning the bumper sur-faces. They are made of soft plastic and thesurface can be damaged if mistreated. Donot use abrasive cleaners. Use warm waterand mild soap or car-washing solution.

o Do not expose the bumpers to high tem-peratures. For example, if you have yourcar repainted, do not leave the bumpers onthe car if the car is going to be placed in ahigh-temperature paint booth.

E040D01A-AAT

Cleaning the Seat Belts

To clean the seat belts, use a cloth or spongewith mild soap or detergent and warm water. Donot use strong detergents, dye, bleach or abra-sive materials on the seat belts as this mayweaken the fabric.While cleaning the belts, inspect them for ex-cessive wear, cuts, fraying or other signs ofdamage and replace them if necessary.

E040E01A-AAT

Cleaning the Windows

You may use any household window cleaner onthe windows. However, when cleaning the in-side of the rear window be careful not to damagethe rear window defroster wiring.

E040A01A-AAT

To Clean the Vinyl Upholstery

To clean the vinyl upholstery, first remove loosedirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner. Then applya solution of mild soap or detergent and waterusing a clean sponge or soft cloth. Allow this tostay on the surface to loosen the dirt, then wipewith a clean damp sponge or cloth. If all the dirtstains are not removed, repeat this procedureuntil the upholstery is clean. Do not use gaso-line, solvent, paint thinner or other strong clean-ers.

E040C01A-AAT

Cleaning the Carpets

Use a foam-type carpet cleaner. Cleaners ofthis type are available in aerosol cans in liquidform or powder. Read the instructions and followthem exactly. Using a vacuum cleaner with theappropriate attachment, remove as much dirtfrom the carpets as possible. Apply the foamfollowing the manufacturer's directions, thenrub in overlapping circles. Do not add water.These cleaners work best when the carpet iskept as dry as possible.

Replacing Accessory Fuses

The fuse box for the lights and other electricalaccessories will be found low on the dashboardon the driver's side. Inside the box you will finda list showing the circuits protected by eachfuse.If any of your car's lights or other electricalaccessories stop working, a blown (open) fusecould be the reason. If the fuse has opened, youwill see that the metal strip inside the fuse hasmelted through. If you suspect a blown fuse,follow this procedure:

HLC4002

1. Turn off the ignition and all other switches.2. Open the fuse box and examine each fuse.

Remove each fuse by pulling it toward you (asmall "fuse puller" tool is contained in thefuse box to simplify this operation).

3. Be sure to check all other fuses even if youfind one that appears to have opened.

HLC4003

4. Replace the blown fuse by pressing a newfuse of the same rating into place. The fuseshould be a snug fit. If it is not, have the fuseclip repaired or replaced by a Hyundai deal-er. If you do not have a spare fuse, you maybe able to borrow a fuse of the same or lowerrating from an accessory you can tempo-rarily get along without (the radio or cigarettelighter, for example). Always remember toreplace the borrowed fuse.

NOTE:See page 6-32 for the fuse panel descrip-tions.


21CHECKING THE BATTERY

!

G210A01A-AAT

WARNING:When working with batteries, carefully ob-serve the following precautions to avoid se-rious injuries.

o If battery fluid is on your skin, flush theaffected areas with water for at least 15minutes and then seek medical assistance.

o If battery fluid is in your eyes, rinse out youreyes with water and get medical assistanceas soon as possible. While you are beingdriven to get medical assistance, continue torinse your eyes by using a sponge or softcloth saturated with water.

o If you swallow battery fluid, drink a largequantity of water or milk followed by milk ofmagnesia, eat a raw egg or drink vegetableoil. Get medical assistance as soon as pos-sible.

While batteries are being charged (either by abattery charger or by the vehicle's alternator),they produce explosive gases. Always observethese warnings to prevent injuries from occur-ring:o Charge batteries only in a well ventilated

area.o Do not permit flames, sparks or smoking in

the area.o Keep children away from the area.

Checking Engine Cooling Fan

The engine cooling fan should come on auto-matically if the engine coolant temperature ishigh.

WARNING:The radiator fan is controlled by engine cool-ant temperature and may sometimes operateeven when the engine is not running. Useextreme caution when working near theblades of the cooling fan, so that you are notinjured by a rotating fan blade. As the cool-ant temperature decreases the fan will auto-matically shut off. This is a normal condition.

G220C01A-AAT

Checking Condenser Cooling Fan

The condenser cooling fan should come onautomatically whenever the air conditioner is inoperation.

HLC5006

The power steering fluid level should be checkedregularly. To check the power steering fluidlevel, be sure the engine is "OFF", then check tomake certain that the power steering fluid levelis between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markingson the fluid reservoir.

NOTE:Grinding noise from the power steering pumpmay be heard immediately after the engine isstarted in extremely cold conditions (below-4°F). If the noise stops during warm up,there is no abnormal function in the system.It is due to a power steering fluid character-istic in extremely cold conditions.

If any electrolyte gets into youreyes, flush your eyes with cleanwater for at least 15 minutes andget immediate medical attention.If possible, continue to apply wa-ter with a sponge or cloth untilmedical attention is received.If electrolyte gets on your skin,thoroughly wash the contactedarea.If you feel a pain or a burningsensation, get medical attentionimmediately.Wear eye protection when charg-ing or working near a battery.Always provide ventilation whenworking in an enclosed space.

o When lifting a plastic-cased battery, ex-cessive pressure on the case may causebattery acid to leak, resulting in personalinjury. Lift with a battery carrier or withyour hands on opposite corners.

o Never attempt to charge the battery whenthe battery cables are connected.

o The electrical ignition system works withhigh voltage.Never touch these components with theengine running or the ignition switchedon.

Canister

Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel tank areabsorbed and stored in the onboard canister.When the engine is running, the fuel vaporsabsorbed in the canister are drawn into theinduction system through the purge controlsolenoid valve.

Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)

The purge control solenoid valve is controlledby the Engine Control Module (ECM); whenthe engine coolant temperature is low duringidling, the PCSV closes so that evaporated fuelis not taken into the engine. After the enginewarms-up during ordinary driving, the PCSVopens to introduce evaporated fuel to theengine.

H010B01A-AAT

1. CRANKCASE EMISSION CONTROLSYSTEM

The positive crankcase ventilation system isemployed to prevent air pollution caused byblow-by gases being emitted from the crank-case. This system supplies filtered fresh air tothe crankcase through the air intake hose.Inside the crankcase, the fresh air mixes withblow-by gases, then passes through the PCVvalve into the induction system.

H010A01A-AAT

Your Hyundai is equipped with an emissioncontrol system to meet all requirements of theU.S. Environmental Protection Agency or Cali-fornia Air Resources Board.There are three emission control systemswhich are as follows.

1) Crankcase Emission Control System2) Evaporative Emission Control System3) Exhaust Emission Control System

In order to ensure the proper function of theemission control systems, it is recommendedthat you have your car inspected and main-tained by an authorized Hyundai dealer inaccordance with the maintenance schedule inthis manual.

3CATALYTIC CONVERTER

!!H020A01A-AAT

All Hyundai vehicles are equipped with a mono-lith type three-way catalytic converter toreduce the carbon monoxide, hydrocarbonsand nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaustgas. Exhaust gases passing through the cata-lytic converter cause it to operate at a veryhigh temperature. The introduction of largeamounts of unburned gasoline into the ex-haust may cause the catalytic converter tooverheat and create a fire hazard. This riskmay be reduced by observing the following:

system.WARNING:

o Remember that your Hyundai dealer isyour best source of assistance.

o Do not stop your Hyundai over anycombustible material such as grass,paper, leaves or rags. These materialsmight contact the hot catalytic con-verter and a fire might result.

HLC5022Catalytic Converter

WARNING:o Use unleaded fuel only.o Maintain the engine in good operating

condition. Extremely high catalytic con-verter temperatures can result from im-proper operation of the electrical, igni-tion or multiport electronic fuel injec-tion.

o If your engine stalls, pings, knocks, oris hard to start, have your Hyundaidealer inspect and repair the problemas soon as possible.

o Avoid driving with a very low fuel level.Running out of gasoline may cause theengine to misfire and result in damageto the catalytic converter.

o Avoid idling the engine for periodslonger than 10 minutes.

o The vehicle should not be pushed orpulled to get started. This may causethe catalytic converter to overheat andcreate a fire hazard.

o Do not touch the catalytic converter orany other part of the exhaust systemwhile the catalytic converter is hot.Shut off the engine, wait for at least onehour before touching the catalytic con-verter or any other part of the exhaust

RECOMMENDED COLD TIRE INFLA-TION PRESSURES

Tire label located on the driver's sideof the center pillar outer panel givesthe cold tire pressures recommendedfor your vehicle with the original tiresize, the number of people that can bein your vehicle and vehicle capacityweight.

I030A01A-2

These pressures were chosen to pro-vide the most satisfactory combina-tion of ride comfort, tire wear andstability under normal conditions. Tirepressures should be checked at leastmonthly. Proper tire inflation pressuresshould be maintained for these rea-sons:

I030A01LC-1

WARNING:Severe underinflation (10 psi (70kPa) or more) can lead to severeheat buildup, causing blowouts,tread separation and other tire fail-ures that can result in the loss ofvehicle control leading to severeinjury or death. This risk is muchhigher on hot days and when driv-ing for protracted periods at highspeeds.

I030A01LC-2


4

!NOTE:o Underinflation also results in ex-

cessive wear, poor handling andreduced fuel economy. Wheel de-formation also is possible. Keepyour tire pressures at the properlevels. If a tire frequently needsrefilling, have it checked by yourHyundai Dealer.

o Overinflation produces a harshride, excessive wear at the centerof the tire tread, and a greaterpossibility of damage from roadhazards.

WARNING:Overinflation or underinflation canreduce the tire life, adversely affectvehicle handling, and lead to sud-den tire failure. This could rusult inloss of vehicle control and potentialinjury.

CAUTION:Always observe the following:

o Check pressures when the tiresare cold. (After the vehicle hasbeen parked for at least threehours or hasn't been driven morethan one mile (1.6 km) since start-ing up.)

o Check the pressure of your sparetire each time you check the pres-sure of other tires.

o Never overload your vehicle. Beespecially careful about overload-ing if you equip your vehicle witha luggage rack.

o Worn, old tires can cause acci-dents. If your tread is badly worn,or if your tires have been dam-aged, replace them.

!

Remove the valve cap from the tirevalve stem. Press the tire gage firmlyonto the valve to get a pressure mea-surement. If the cold tire inflation pres-sure matches the recommended pres-sure on the tire and loading informationlabel, no further adjustment is neces-sary. If the pressure is low, add airuntil you reach the recommendedamount.If you overfill the tire, release air bypushing on the metal stem in thecenter of the tire valve. Recheck thetire pressure with the tire gage. Besure to put the valve caps back on thevalve stems. They help prevent leaksby keeping out dirt and moisture.

I035A01JM-AAT

CHECKING TIRE INFLATION PRES-SURE

Check your tires once a month ormore.Also, check the tire pressure of thespare tire.

How to Check

Use a good quality gage to check tirepressure. You can not tell if your tiresare properly inflated simply by lookingat them. Radial tires may look properlyinflated even when they're underinflated.Check the tire's inflation pressure whenthe tires are cold. - "Cold" means yourvehicle has been sitting for at leastthree hours or driven no more than 1mile (1.6 km).

Federal law requires tire manufactur-ers to place standardized informationon the sidewall of all tires. This infor-mation identifies and describes thefundamental characteristics of the tireand also provides the tire identificationnumber (TIN) for safety standard cer-tification. The TIN can be used toidentify the tire in case of a recall.

SNOW TIRES

If you equip your car with snow tires,they should be the same size andhave the same load capacity as theoriginal tires. Snow tires should beinstalled on all four wheels; otherwise,poor handling may result.Snow tires should carry 4 psi (28 kPa)more air pressure than the pressurerecommended for the standard tires onthe tire label on the driver's side of thecenter pillar , or up to the maximumpressure shown on the tire sidewallwhichever is less.Do not drive faster than 75 mph (120km/h) when your car is equipped withsnow tires.

I040B01JM-AAT

ALL SEASON TIRES

Hyundai specifies all season tires onsome models to provide good perfor-mance for use all year round, includingsnowy and icy road conditions. All sea-son tires are identified by ALL SEA-SON and/or M+S (Mud and Snow) onthe tire sidewall. Snow tires have bettersnow traction than all season tires anmay be more appropriate in some ar-eas.

I040C01JM-AAT

SUMMER TIRES

Hyundai specifies summer tires onsome models to provide superior per-formance on dry roads. Summer tireperformance is substantrally reduced insnow and ice. Summer tires do nothave the tire traction rating M+S (Mudand Snow) on the tire side wall. if youplan to operate your vehicle in snowy oricy conditions. Hyundai recommendsthe use of snow tires or all season tireson all four wheels.

I050A03A-AAT

TIRE CHAINS

Tire chains, if necessary, should be installed onthe front wheels. Be sure that the chains areinstalled in accordance with the manufacturer'sinstructions.

To minimize tire and chain wear, do not con-tinue to use tire chains when they are nolonger needed.

WARNING:o When driving on roads covered with snow

or ice, drive at less than 20 mph (30 km/h).o Use the SAE "S" class or wire & plastic

chains.o If you have noise caused by chains

contacting the body, retighten the chainto avoid contact with the vehicle body.

o To prevent body damage, retighten thechains after driving 0.3~0.6 miles.

! WARNING:o Do not use the temporary spare

tire for tire rotation.o Do not mix bias ply and radial ply

tires under any circumstances.This may cause unusual handlingcharacteristics that could resultin death, serious injury, or prop-erty damage.

TIRE BALANCING

A tire that is out of balance may affecthandling and tire wear. The tires onyour Hyundai were balanced beforethe car was delivered but may needbalancing again during the years youown the car.Whenever a tire is dismounted forrepair, it should be rebalanced beforebeing reinstalledon the car.

I080A01A-AAT

TIRE TRACTION

Tire traction can be reduced if youdrive on worn tires, tires that are im-properly inflated or on slippery roadsurfaces. Tires should be replacedwhen tread wear indicators appear. Toreduce the possibility of losing control,slow down whenever there is rain,snow or ice on the road.

I090A01A-AAT

WHEN TO REPLACE TIRES

Tread wear in-dicator

0.06 in. (1.6 mm)

HGK248

The original tires on your car havetread wear indicators. The location oftread wear indicators is shown by the"TWI" or " " marks, etc., The treadwear indicators appear when the treaddepth is 0.06 in. (1.6 mm). The tireshould be replaced when these appearas a solid bar across two or moregrooves of the tread. Always replaceyour tires with those of the recom-mended size. If you change wheels,the new wheel's rim width and offsetmust meet Hyundai specification.

! WARNING:o Driving on worn-out tires is dan-

gerous! Worn-out tires can causeloss of braking effectiveness,steering control and traction.When replacing tires, never mixradial and bias ply tires on thesame car. If you replace radialtires with bias-ply tires, they mustbe installed in sets of four.

o Using tires and wheels of otherthan the recommended sizescould cause unusual handlingcharacteristics that could causedeath, serious injury, or propertydamage.

o Wheels that do not meet Hyundai'sdimensional specifications mayfit poorly and result in damage tothe vehicle, including brokenwheel studs.

I130A01A-AAT

This consumer information has been preparedin accordance with regulations issued by theNational Highway Traffic Safety Administrationof the U.S. Department of Transportation. Itprovides the purchasers and/or prospectivepurchasers of Hyundai automobiles with infor-mation on uniform tire quality grading. YourHyundai dealer will help answer any questionsyou may have as you read this information.

I130B03A-AAT

Tire Quality Grading

Department of Transportation qualitygrades - All passenger vehicle tiresmust conform to Federal Safety Stan-dards in addition to these grades. Thesequality grades are molded on thesidewall.

Treadwear - The treadwear grade is acomparative rating based on the wearrate of the tire when tested undercontrolled conditions on a specifiedgovernment test course. For example,a tire graded 150 would wear one anda half (1 - 1/2) times as well on thegovernment course as a tire graded100. The relative performance of tiresdepends upon the actual conditions oftheir use, however, and may departsignificantly from the norm due tovariations in driving habits, servicepractices and differences in road char-acteristics and climate.

Traction AA, A, B, C - The tractiongrades, from highest to lowest, areAA, A, B, and C. Those grades repre-sent the tire's ability to stop on wetpavement as measured under con-trolled conditions on specified govern-ment test surfaces of asphalt andconcrete. A tire marked C may havepoor traction performance.

WARNING:The traction grade assigned to thistire is based on straight-ahead brak-ing traction tests, and does not in-clude acceleration, cornering, hy-droplaning, or peak traction charac-teristics.


14

Temperature A, B, C - The tempera-ture grades are A (the highest), B, andC, representing the tire's resistance tothe generation of heat and its ability todissipate heat when tested under con-trolled conditions on a specified indoorlaboratory test wheel. Sustained hightemperature can cause the material ofthe tire to degenerate and reduce tirelife, and excessive temperature canlead to sudden tire failure. The grade Ccorresponds to a level of performancewhich all passenger car tires mustmeet under the Federal Motor VehicleSafety Standard No. 109. Grades Band A represent higher levels of perfor-mance on the laboratory test wheelthan the minimum required by law.

! WARNING:The temperature grade for this tireis established for a tire that is prop-erly inflated and not overloaded.Excessive speed, underinflation, orexcessive loading, either separatelyor in combination, can cause heatbuildup and possible tire failure.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading - Qual-ity grades can be found on the tiresidewall between the tread shoulderand the maximum section width.For example:Treadwear 200 Traction AATemperature A
