VEHICLE DATA COLLECTION AND EVENT DATA RECORDERS

Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with many high technology, electronically controlled systems thathelp to ensure your vehicle operates properly and provides the performance that you expect. Thesesystems utilize computers to monitor the operation of various systems and components and help tocontrol their operation. These computerized system operations are wide-ranging and involvecomponents to reduce emissions, to continuously evaluate the readiness of the airbag and seat beltpretensioner systems, to determine when the airbag and seat belt pre-tensioner systems should bedeployed and then to activate the deployment, and if equipped, to operate anti-lock braking, tractioncontrol and electrical stability control to assist the driver to control the vehicle in difficult drivingsituations. These systems electronically store information that is useful to service technicians whenthey need to diagnose and repair these systems. Additional information is stored only when a crashoccurs that results in the deployment of the airbags or seat belt pre-tensioners. This type of data storageis done by devices called event 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 informationabout the condition of the vehicle and how it was being operated. This information consists of datarelated to seat belt usage and if there was diagnostic information in the airbag or seat belt systemsat the time that a crash occurred, and if the ACU sensed that a crash of sufficient severity occurred torequire seat belt pre-tensioner or airbag deployment.

To retrieve this information, special equipment is needed and access to the vehicle or the device thatstores the data is required. Hyundai will not access information about a crash event or share it withothers 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, oro as required by law.

WARNING:

o For maximum effectiveness in case of anaccident the headrest should be ad-justed so the middle of the headrest is atthe same height as the top of theoccupant's eyes. For this reason, theuse of a cushion that holds the bodyaway from the seatback is not recom-mended.

o Do not operate vehicle with the head-rests removed as injury to the occupantsmay occur in the event of an accident.Headrests may provide protectionagainst neck injuries when properly ad-justed.

o Do not adjust the headrest hejght whilethe vehicle is in motion.

SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:All occupants of the vehicle must wear theirseat belts at all times. Seat belts and childrestraints reduce the risk of serious or fatalinjuries for all occupants in the event of acollision or sudden stop. Without a seatbelt, occupants could be shifted too closeto a deploying airbag, strike the interiorstructure or be thrown from the vehicle.Properly worn seat belts greatly reducethese hazards. Even with advanced airbags,unbelted occupants can be severely in-jured by a deploying airbag. Always followthe precautions about seat belts, airbagsand occupant safety contained in thismanual.

! WARNING:Every person in your vehicle needs to beproperly restrained at all times, includinginfants and children. Never hold a child inyour arms or lap when riding in a vehicle.The violent forces created during a crashwill tear the child from your arms and throwthe child against the interior. Always use achild restraint appropriate for your child'sheight and weight, see page 1-25.

NOTE:Small children are best protected from in-jury in an accident when properly restrainedin the rear seat by a child restraint systemthat meets the requirements of the FederalMotor Vehicle Safety Standards. Beforebuying any child restraint system, makesure that it has a label certifying that itmeets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-dard 213. The restraint must be appropriatefor your child's height and weight. Checkthe label on the child restraint for thisinformation. See page 1-25.


19

WARNING:Riding with a reclined seatback increasesyour chance of serious or fatal injuries inthe event of a collision or sudden stop. Theprotection of your restraint system (seatbelts and airbags) is greatly reduced byreclining your seat. Seat belts must be snugagainst your hips and chest to work prop-erly. The more the seatback is reclined, thegreater the chance that an occupant's hipswill slide under the lap belt causing seriousinternal injuries or the occupant's neckcould strike the shoulder belt. Drivers andpassengers should always sit well back intheir seats, properly belted (see page 1-21),and with the seatbacks upright.

!B150E01A-AAT

SEAT BELTS-Front Passenger and RearSeat 3-Point System with CombinationLocking Retractor

Combination retractor type seat belts are in-stalled in the rear seat positions to help accom-modate the installation of child restraint systems.Although a combination retractor is also installedin the front passenger seat position, Hyundaistrongly recommends that children always beseated in the rear seat. NEVER place any infantrestraint system in the front seat of the vehicle.This type of seat belt combines the features ofboth an emergency locking retractor seat beltand an automatic locking retractor seat belt. Tofasten your seat belt, pull it out of the retractorand insert the metal tab into the buckle. Therewill be an audible "click" when the tab locks intothe buckle. When not securing a child restraint,the seat belt operates in the same way as thedriver's seat belt (Emergency Locking Retrac-tor Type). It automatically adjusts to the properlength only after the lap belt portion of the seatbelt is adjusted manually so that it fits snuglyaround your hips. When the seat belt is fullyextended from the retractor to allow the instal-lation of a child restraint system, the seat beltoperation changes to allow the belt to retract, butnot to extend (Automatic Locking RetractorType). See page 1-29.

To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the retractorand insert the metal tab into the buckle. Therewill be an audible "click" when the tab locks intothe buckle.The seat belt automatically adjusts to the properlength only after the lap belt portion is adjustedmanually so that it fits snugly around your hips.If you lean forward in a slow, easy motion, thebelt will extend and let you move around. If thereis a sudden stop or impact, however, the belt willlock into position. It will also lock if you try to leanforward too quickly.

WARNING:o For maximum restraint system protec-

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

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

o Children age 12 and younger must al-ways be properly restrained in the rearseat. Never allow children to ride in thefront passenger seat. If a child over 13must be seated in the front seat, he/shemust be properly belted and the seatshould be moved as far back as possible.

o Never wear the shoulder belt under yourarm or behind your back. An improperlypositioned shoulder belt can cause se-rious injuries in a crash. The shoulderbelt should be positioned midway overyour shoulder across your collarbone.

o Avoid wearing twisted seat belts. Atwisted belt can't do its job as well. In acollision, it could even cut into you. Besure the 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.

!

WARNING:You should place the lap belt portion as lowas possible and snugly across your hips,not on your waist. If the lap belt is locatedtoo high on your waist, it may increase thechance of injury in the event of a collision.Both arms should not be under or over thebelt.

If the SRS airbagwarning light does not illuminate whenthe ignition key is turned to "ON" or if itremains illuminated after approximately6 seconds, or if it illuminates while thevehicle is being driven, please have anauthorized Hyundai dealer inspect thepre-tensioner seat belts and SRS airbagsystem as soon as possible.

AIRBAG

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

pre-tensioner seat belts will be activatedin certain frontal collisions. The pre-tensioner seat belt may be activated withor without airbag activation, dependingon the circumstances of a collision. Thepre-tensioners will not be activated if theseat belts are not being worn at the timeof 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 com-partment. These are normal operatingconditions and are not hazardous.

o Although it is harmless, the fine dustmay cause skin irritation and should notbe breathed for prolonged periods. Washall exposed skin areas thoroughly afteran accident in which the pre-tensionerseat belts were activated.


33ADVANCED SUPPLEMENTALRESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM (SRS)

B240A02E-AAT

Your Hyundai is equipped with an advancedSupplemental 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 thesteering wheel and the passenger's side frontpanel above the glove box. The purpose of theSRS is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or thefront passenger with additional protection thanthat offered by the seat belt system alone, incase of a frontal impact of sufficient severity.

B240A01JM

Driver's AirbagThe SRS uses a collection of sensors to gatherinformation about the driver's and frontpassenger's seat position, the driver's and frontpassenger's seat belt usage and impact sever-ity.

The driver's and front passenger's seat positionsensors, which are installed on the seat track,determine if the seats are fore or aft of areference position. Similarly, the seat belt usagesensors determine if the driver and frontpassenger's seat belts are fastened. Thesesensors provide the ability to control the SRSdeployment based on how close the driver'sseat is to the steering wheel, how close thepassenger's seat is to the instrument panel,whether or not the seat belts are fastened, andhow severe is the impact.

The advanced SRS offers the ability to controlthe airbag inflation with two levels. A first stagelevel is provided for moderate-severity impacts.A second stage level is provided for moresevere impacts.

According to the impact severity, seating posi-tion and seat belt usage, the SRSCM(SRSControl Module) controls the airbag inflation.Failure to properly wear seat belts can increasethe risk or severity of injury in an accident.

CAUTION:If the seat position sensor is not workingproperly, the SRS airbag warning light onthe instrument panel will illuminate even ifthere is no malfunction of the SRS airbagsystem, because the SRS airbag warninglight is connected with the seat positionsensor. If the SRS airbag warning light doesnot illuminate when the ignition key isturned to the "ON" position, if it remainsilluminated after coming on for approxi-mately 6 seconds, or if it illuminates whilethe vehicle is being driven, have an autho-rized Hyundai dealer inspect the seat posi-tion sensor and the advanced SRS airbagsystem as soon as possible.

!AIR

BAG

Additionally, your Hyundai is equipped with anoccupant classification system in the frontpassenger's seat. The occupant classificationsystem detects the presence of a passenger inthe front passenger's seat and will turn off thefront passenger's airbag under certain condi-tions. For more detail, see "Occupant Classifi-cation System" later in this section.

!! WARNING:Always use seat belts and child restraints –every trip, every time, everyone! Airbagsinflate with considerable force and in theblink of an eye. Seat belts help keep occu-pants in proper position to obtain maxi-mum benefit from the airbag. Even withadvanced airbags, improperly and unbeltedoccupants can be severely injured whenthe airbag inflates. Always follow the pre-cautions about seat belts, airbags and oc-cupant safety contained in this manual.

To reduce the chance of serious or fatalinjuries and receive the maximum safetybenefit from your restraint system:o Never place a child in any child or booster

seat in the front seat (see child restraints1-25).

o ABC – Always Buckle Children in theback seat. It is the safest place forchildren of any age to ride.

o Front and side impact airbags can injureoccupants improperly positioned in thefront seats.

o Move your seat as far back as practicalfrom the front airbags, while still main-taining control of the vehicle.

o Never sit or lean unnecessarily close tothe front or side airbags.

! WARNING:o Modification to the seat structure can

adversely affect the seat position sensorand cause the airbag to deploy at adifferent level than should be provided.

o Do not place any objects underneath thefront seats which could damage the seatposition sensor or interfere with theoccupant classification system.

o Do not place any objects that may causemagnetic fields near the front seats.These may cause a malfunction of theseat position sensor.

NOTE:o Be sure to read information about the

SRS on the labels provided on the back-side of the sun visor.

o Advanced airbags are combined withpre-tensioner seat belts to help provideenhanced occupant protection in fron-tal crashes. Front airbags are not in-tended to deploy in light collisions inwhich protection can be provided by thepre-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.

o Never lean against the door or centerconsole – always sit in an upright posi-tion.

o Do not allow an adult passenger to ridein the front seat when the “PassengerAirbag OFF” indicator is illuminated,because the airbag will not deploy in theevent of a moderate or severe frontalcrash.

o Never place objects over or near anyairbag module (front or side impactairbags), because these objects can in-jure passengers in a crash.

o Never place covers, blankets or after-market seat warmers on the passengerseat as these may interfere with theoccupant classification system.

o Do not tamper or disconnect SRS wiringor other components. Injuries couldresult from inadvertent deployment orfailure of the airbag to deploy in a crash.

o If the SRS airbag warning light (see pg 1-48) remains illuminated while the vehicleis being driven, have an authorizedHyundai dealer inspect the airbag sys-tem as soon as possible.

o Airbags can only be used once – have anauthorized Hyundai dealer replace theairbag immediately after deployment.

WARNING:o The SRS is designed to deploy the front

airbags only when an impact is suffi-ciently severe and when the impact angleis less than 30° from the forward longi-tudinal axis of the vehicle. The frontairbags will not deploy in side, rear orrollover impacts. Additionally, theairbags will only deploy once. Seat beltsmust be worn at all times.

o Front airbags are not intended to deployin side-impact, rear-impact or rollovercrashes. In addition, airbags will notdeploy in frontal crashes below the de-ployment threshold.

! WARNING:o Move your seat as far back as practical

from the front airbags, while still main-taining control of the vehicle. You andyour passengers should never sit or leanunnecessarily close to the airbags. Im-properly positioned drivers and passen-gers can be severely injured by inflatingairbags.

o No objects should be placed over or nearthe airbag modules on the steeringwheel, instrument panel, and the frontpassenger's panel above the glove box,because any such object could causeharm if the vehicle is in a crash severeenough to cause the airbags to deploy.

o If the airbags deploy, they must be re-placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.Deployed airbags WILL NOT inflate againand will provide no protection in subse-quent collisions.

o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRSwiring or other components of the SRSsystem. Doing so could result in injury,due to accidental deployment of theairbags or by rendering the SRS inopera-tive.

o Even though your vehicle is equippedwith the occupant classification sys-tem, do not install a child restraint sys-tem in the front passenger seat position.A child 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 Children younger than 13 years mustalways be properly restrained in the rearseat. Never allow children to ride in thefront passenger seat. If a child over 13must be seated in the front seat, he orshe must be properly belted and the seatshould be moved as far back as possible.

o For maximum safety protection in alltypes of crashes, all occupants includ-ing the driver should always wear theirseat belts whether or not an airbag isalso provided at their seating position tominimize 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.

! WARNING:


36

! WARNING:

The SRSCM continually monitors all elementswhile the ignition is "ON" to determine if a frontalor near-frontal impact is severe enough torequire airbag deployment or pre-tensioner seatbelt deployment.

The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) onthe instrument panel will illuminate for about 6seconds after the ignition key is turned to the"ON" position or after the engine is started, afterwhich 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 sufficiently severe impactto the front of the vehicle, it will automaticallydeploy the front airbags.

o Sitting improperly or out of position canresult in serious or fatal injury in a crash.All occupants should sit upright withthe seat back in an upright position,centered on the seat cushion with theirseat belt on, legs comfortably extendedand their feet on the floor until the ve-hicle is parked and the ignition key isremoved.

o The SRS airbag system must deploy veryrapidly to provide protection in a crash.If an occupant is out of position becauseof not wearing a seat belt, the airbag mayforcefully contact the occupant causingserious or fatal injuries.


37

A fully inflated airbag, in combination with aproperly worn seat belt, slows the driver's or thepassenger's forward motion, reducing therisk of head and chest injury.

After complete inflation, the airbag immediatelystarts deflating, enabling the driver to maintainforward visibility, and the ability to steer oroperate other controls.

CAUTION:When installing a container of liquid airfreshener inside the vehicle, do not place itnear the instrument cluster nor on the in-strument panel surface. If there is any leak-age from the air freshener onto these areas(instrument cluster, instrument panel or airventilator), it may damage these parts. If theliquid from the air freshener does leak ontothese areas, wash them with water immedi-ately.

NOTE:The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicatorilluminates for about 4 seconds after theignition key is turned to the "ON" positionor after the engine is started. If the frontpassenger seat is occupied, the occupantclassification sensor will then classify thefront passenger after several more sec-onds.

CAUTION:If the occupant classification system is notworking properly, the SRS airbag warninglight on the instrument panel willilluminate because the passenger's frontairbags are connected with the occupantclassification system. If there is a malfunc-tion of the occupant classification system,the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicatorwill illuminate and the passenger's frontairbags will not inflate in frontal impactcrashes even if there is adult occupant inthe front passenger's seat. If the SRS airbagwarning light does not illuminate when theignition key is turned to the "ON" position,remains illuminated after approximately 6seconds when the ignition key is turned tothe "ON" position, or if it illuminates whilethe vehicle is being driven, have an autho-rized Hyundai dealer inspect the occupantclassification system and the SRS airbagsystem as soon as possible.

! WARNING:o Even though your vehicle is equipped

with the occupation classification sys-tem, never install a child restraint systemin the front passenger's seat. A deploy-ing airbag can forcefully strike a childresulting in serious injuries or death.Any child under 13 years of age shouldride in the rear seat. Children too largefor child restraints should use the avail-able lap/shoulder belts. No matter whattype of crash, children of all ages aresafer when restrained in the rear seat.

o If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indi-cator is illuminated when the frontpassenger's seat is occupied by an adultand he/she sits properly (sitting uprightwith the seatback in an upright position,centered on the seat cushion with theirseat belt on, legs comfortably extendedand their feet on the floor), have thatperson sit in the rear seat.

o Do not modify or replace the front pas-senger seat. Don't place anything on orattach anything such as a blanket orafter market seat heater to the frontpassenger seat. This can adversely af-fect the occupant classification system.

WARNING:Do not allow an adult passenger to ride inthe front seat when the “PASSENGERAIRBAG OFF” indicator is illuminated, be-cause the airbag will not deploy in the eventof a crash. If the "PASSENGER AIR BAGOFF" indicator remains illuminated afterthe passenger repositions themselves prop-erly and the car is restarted, Hyundai recom-mends that passenger move to the rear seatbecause the passenger's front airbag willnot deploy.Front seat passengers must stay properlyseated to avoid serious injury from a de-ploying airbag.

Side Impact Airbag

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, depend-ing on the crash severity, angle, speed and pointof impact. The side impact airbags are notdesigned to deploy in all side impact situations.

B990B02JM

! WARNING:o Do not sit on sharp objects such as tools

when occupying the front passengerseat. This can adversely affect the occu-pant classification system.

o Do not use accessory seat covers on thefront seats.

o Accident statistics show that childrenare safer if they are restrained in the rear,as opposed to the front seat. It is recom-mended that child restraints be securedin a rear seat, including an infant ridingin a rear-facing infant seat, a child ridingin a forward-facing child seat and anolder child riding in a booster seat.

o Airbags can only be used once – have anauthorized Hyundai dealer replace theairbag immediately after deployment.

! WARNING:o A smaller-stature adult who is not seated

correctly (for example: seat excessivelyreclined, leaning on the center console,or hips shifted forward in the seat) cancause a condition where the advancedfrontal airbag system senses less weightthan if the occupant were seated prop-erly (sitting upright with the seatback inan upright position, centered on the seatcushion with their seat belt on, legscomfortably extended and their feet onthe floor). This condition can result in anadult potentially being misclassified andillumination of the "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" indicator.

!o If your car was flooded and has soaked

carpeting or water on the floor, don't tryto start the engine; have the car towed toan authorized Hyundai dealer.

o Do not replace the bumper or the bumperguard with the one other than the Hyundaigenuine parts. Otherwise, it can ad-versely affect SRS performance and leadto an increased risk of injury.

WARNING:o For cleaning the airbag pad covers, use

only a soft, dry cloth or one which hasbeen moistened with plain water. Sol-vents or cleaners could adversely affectthe airbag covers and proper deploy-ment of the system.

o No objects should be placed over or nearthe airbag modules on the steeringwheel, instrument panel, and the frontpassenger's panel above the glove box,because any such object could causeharm if the vehicle is in a crash severeenough to cause the airbags to inflate.

o If the airbags inflate, they must be re-placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.

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 system mustbe discarded, or if the vehicle must bescrapped, certain safety precautionsmust be observed. Your Hyundai dealerknows these precautions and can giveyou the necessary information. Failureto follow these precautions and proce-dures could increase the risk of personalinjury.

! WARNING:

! 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 orchild could be severely injured or killedby an airbag deployment in case of anaccident.

o Modification to SRS components or wir-ing, including the addition of any kind ofbadges to the pad covers or modifica-tions to the body structure, can ad-versely affect SRS performance and leadto possible injury.

B240C02JM-AAT

SRS Care

o The SRS is virtually maintenance free andthere are no parts you can safely service byyourself. If the SRS SRI (Service ReminderIndicator) does not illuminate, or continu-ously remains on, have your vehicle imme-diately inspected by your Hyundai dealer.

o Any work on the SRS system, such asremoving, installing, repairing, or any workon the steering wheel must be performed bya qualified Hyundai technician. Improperhandling of the airbag system may result inserious personal injury.


45

B240D02JM-AAT

Additional Safety Precautionso Never let passengers ride in the cargo

area (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 the ve-hicle.

o Each seat belt is designed to restrain oneoccupant. If more than one person uses thesame seat belt, they could be seriouslyinjured 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 objectson your lap or in your mouth can result ininjuries if an airbag inflates.

o Keep occupants away from the airbagcovers. All occupants should sit upright, fullyback in their seats with their seat belts on andtheir feet on the floor. If occupants are tooclose to the airbag covers, they could beinjured if the airbags inflate.

o Do not attach or place objects on or nearthe airbag covers. Any object attached toor placed on the front or side impact airbagcovers could interfere with the proper opera-tion of the airbags.

o Do not modify the front seats. Modifica-tion of the front seats could interfere with theoperation of the supplemental restraint sys-tem sensing components or side impactairbags.

o Do not place items under the front seats.Placing items under the front seats couldinterfere with the operation of the supple-mental restraint system sensing compo-nents and wiring harnesses.

o Never hold an infant or child on your lap.The infant or child could be seriously injuredor killed in the event of a crash. All infants andchildren should be properly restrained inappropriate child safety seats or seat beltsin the rear seat.

! WARNING:o Sitting improperly or out of position can

cause occupants to be shifted too closeto a deploying airbag, strike the interiorstructure or be thrown from the vehicleresulting in serious injury or death.

o Always sit upright with the seatback inan upright position, centered on the seatcushion with your seat belt on, legscomfortably extended and your feet onthe floor.

Adding Equipment to or Modifying YourAirbag-Equipped Vehicle.

If you modify your vehicle by changing yourvehicle's frame, bumper system, front end orside sheet metal or ride height, this may affectthe operation of your vehicle's airbag system.

Parking Brake/Low Brake FluidLevel Warning Light

The brake fluid level warning light indicates thatthe brake fluid level in the brake master cylinderis low and hydraulic brake fluid conforming toDOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications should beadded. After adding fluid, if no other trouble isfound, the car should be immediately and care-fully driven to a Hyundai dealer for inspection.If further trouble is experienced, the vehicleshould not be driven at all but taken to a dealerby a professional towing service.Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-diagonalbraking systems. This means you still havebraking on two wheels even if one of the dualsystems should fail. With only one of the dualsystems working, more than normal pedal traveland greater pedal pressure are required to stopthe car. Also, the car will not stop in as short adistance with only half of the brake systemworking. If the brakes fail while you are driving,shift to a lower gear for additional engine brakingand stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so.

WARNING:If you suspect brake trouble, have yourbrakes checked by a Hyundai dealer assoon as possible. Driving your car with aproblem in either the brake electrical sys-tem or brake hydraulic system is danger-ous, and could result in a serious injury ordeath.

Operation Tips

o If the interior of the car is hot when you firstget in, open the windows for a few minutesto expel the hot air.

o When you are using the air conditioningsystem, keep all windows closed to keep hotair out.

o When moving slowly, as in heavy traffic, shiftto a lower gear. This increases engine speed,which in turn increases the speed of the airconditioning compressor.

o On steep grades, turn the air conditioning offto avoid the possibility of the engine over-heating.

o During winter months or in periods when theair conditioning is not used regularly, run theair conditioning once every month for a fewminutes. This will help circulate the lubri-cants and keep your system in peak oper-ating condition.

B750A02A-AAT

How Car Audio Works

AM broadcasts can be received at greaterdistances than FM broadcasts. This is becauseAM radio waves are transmitted at low frequen-cies. These long, low frequency radio wavescan follow the curvature of the earth rather thantravelling straight out into the atmosphere. Inaddition, they curve around obstructions so thatthey can provide better signal coverage.

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 repro-duction. However, in some cases the signalcoming to your vehicle may not be strong andclear. This can be due to factors such as thedistance from the radio station, closeness ofother strong radio stations or the presence ofbuildings, bridges or other large obstructions inthe area.

FM broadcasts are transmitted at high frequen-cies 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 problem existswith your radio. The following conditions arenormal and do not indicate radio trouble:

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 andyour radio can disturb the signal causingstatic or fluttering noises to occur. Reducingthe treble level may lessen this effect until thedisturbance clears.

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 beingreceived from several directions can causedistortion or fluttering. This can be caused bya direct and reflected signal from the samestation, or by signals from two stations withclose frequencies. If this occurs, selectanother station until the condition has passed.

Using a cellular phone or a two-way radio

When a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle,noise may be produced from the audio equip-ment. This does not mean that something iswrong with the audio equipment. In such a case,use the cellular phone at a place as far aspossible from the audio equipment.

WARNING:Hyundai recommends that you never use acell phone while driving. This could resultin loss of control, and an accident that maycause death, serious injury, or propertydamage. You must stop at a safe place touse a cellular phone.

NOTE:Some states and cities have regulationsprohibiting the use of cell phones whiledriving. You should be aware of the specificrequirements in your area.

o The playback head, capstan and pinch roll-ers will develop a coating of tape residue thatcan result in deterioration of sound quality,such as a wavering sound. They should becleaned monthly using a commercially avail-able head cleaning tape or special solutionavailable from audio specialty shops. Followthe supplier's directions carefully and neveroil any part of the tape player unit.

o Always be sure that the tape is tightly woundon its reel before inserting in the player.Rotate a pencil in the drive sprockets to windup any slack.

o Never leave a cassette inserted in the playerwhen not being played. This could damagethe tape player unit and the cassette tape.

o We strongly recommend against the use oftapes longer than C-60 (60 minutes total).Tapes such as C-120 or C-180 are very thinand do not perform as well in the automotiveenvironment.

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 replayone given tune or tape section. This cancause poor tape winding to occur, and even-tually cause excessive internal drag andpoor audio quality in the cassette. If thisoccurs, it can sometimes be corrected byfast winding the tape from end to end severaltimes. If this does not correct the problem,do not continue to use the tape in yourvehicle.

WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!C010A02JM-AAT

Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open the windows immediately.

o Do not inhale exhaust fumes.Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation.

o Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If you hear a changein the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the car, have the exhaust system checkedas soon as possible by your Hyundai dealer.

o Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the engine in your garageany longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out.

o Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car.If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an open area with the airintake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior.

If you must drive with the tail gate open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary:

1. Close all windows.2. Open side vents.3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds.

To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the windshield are kept clearof snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.

WARNING:Never run the engine in a closed or poorlyventilated area any longer than is needed tomove your car in or out of the area. Thecarbon monoxide gas emitted is odorlessand can cause serious injury or death.

WARNING:Always fully depress the brake pedal beforeand while shifting out of the "P" Park posi-tion into another position to avoid inad-vertent motion of the vehicle which couldinjure persons in or around the car.


7OPERATING THE MANUALTRANSAXLE

NOTE:o To shift into reverse, rest the lever in

neutral for at least 3 seconds after yourcar is completely stopped. Then movethe lever into the reverse position.

o During cold weather, shifting may bedifficult until the transaxle lubricant haswarmed up. This is normal and not harm-ful to the transaxle.

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 down, and then shift into 1st orR(Reverse) gear position.

o Do not use the shift lever as a handrestduring driving, as this can result in pre-mature wear of the transaxle shift forks.

CAUTION:When downshifting from fifth gear to fourthgear, caution should be taken not to inad-vertently press the gear lever sideways insuch a manner that second gear is en-gaged. Such a drastic downshift may causethe engine speed to increase to the pointthat the tachometer will enter the red-zone.Such over-revving of the engine may causeengine damage.

!

C070A02A-AAT

Your Hyundai's manual transaxle has a con-ventional shift pattern. This shift pattern is im-printed on the shift knob. The transaxle is fullysynchronized in all forward gears so shifting toeither a higher or a lower gear is easily accom-plished.

HJM3017

C070B02A-AAT

Using the Clutch

The clutch should be pressed all the way to thefloor before shifting, then released slowly. Theclutch pedal should always be fully returned tothe original position. Do not rest your foot on theclutch pedal while driving. This can cause un-necessary wear.Do not partially engage the clutch to hold the caron an incline. This causes unnecessary wear.Use the foot brake or parking brake to hold thecar on an incline. Do not operate the clutch pedalrapidly and repeatedly.

! WARNING:o Always buckle-up! In a collision, an

unbelted occupant is significantly morelikely to be seriously injured or killedthan a properly belted occupant.

o Avoid high speeds when cornering orturning.

o Do not make quick steering wheel move-ments, such as sharp lane changes orfast, sharp turns.

o The risk of rollover is greatly increased ifyou lose control of your vehicle at high-way 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 the road-way, do not steer sharply. Instead, slowdown before pulling back into the travellanes.

o Never exceed posted speed limits.

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. Thetransaxle can be damaged if you do not. Toshift into reverse, depress the clutch, movethe shift lever to neutral, wait three seconds,then shift 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 ve-hicle speed can cause the drive wheels tolose traction and the vehicle to go out ofcontrol.

o Optimum vehicle performance and economyis obtained by smoothly depressing andreleasing the accelerator pedal.

OPERATING THE AUTOMATICTRANSAXLE

C090A01O-GAT

The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transaxlehas four forward speeds and one reversespeed. The individual speeds are selected au-tomatically, depending on the position of thespeed selector lever. The selector lever has 2gates; the main gate and the manual gate.

NOTE:For information on manual gate operation,refer to "Sports Mode".

In the main gate, the selector lever has 4positions, and is equipped with a button to avoidinadvertent selection.

NOTE:Depress the brake pedal and push thebutton when shifting.

Push the button when shifting.

The selector lever can be shifted freely.

The first few shifts on a new vehicle, or if thebattery has been disconnected, may besomewhat abrupt. This is a normal condi-tion, and the shifting sequence will adjustafter shifts are cycled a few times by theT.C.M (Transaxle Control Module).

C090A01JM

The indicator lights in the instrument clusterindicate the selector lever position when theignition is switched "ON". During "D" rangeoperation, green lights indicate the gear cur-rently in use.

CAUTION:Never shift into "R" or "P" position while thevehicle is moving.

!

C090E02O-AAT

o D(Drive):

Use for normal driving. Bring the car to acomplete stop before shifting the selector to "D"position. The transaxle will automatically shiftthrough a four gear sequence.

C090D02O-AAT

o N (Neutral):

In the "N" position, the transaxle is in neutral,which means that no gears are engaged. Theengine can be started with the shift lever in "N"position, although this is not recommendedexcept if the engine stalls while the car ismoving.

C090B02A-AAT

The function of each position is as fol-lows:

o P (Park):

Use to hold the vehicle in place when parked orwhile starting the engine. Whenever parking thecar, apply the parking brake and shift the selec-tor lever to the "P" (Park) position.

C090C01A-AAT

o R(Reverse):

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

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

C090F01JM-GAT

Sports Mode

Whether the vehicle is stationary or in motion,sports mode is selected by pushing the selectorlever from the "D" position into the manual gate.To return to "D" range operation, push theselector lever back into the main gate.In sports mode, moving the selector lever back-wards and forwards can make gearshifts simple.UP (+) : Push the lever forward once to shift upone gear.DOWN (-) : Pull the lever backwards once toshift down one gear.SKIP : By rapidly moving the selector forwardsor backwards twice, it is possible to skip onegear, i.e. 1st to 3rd or 3rd to 1st.

HJM3020


11

!o To maintain the required levels of ve-

hicle performance and safety, the sys-tem may not execute certain gearshiftswhen the selector lever is operated.

o Before driving away from a stop on aslippery road, push the selector leverforward into the +(UP) position. Thiscauses the transaxle to shift into 2ndgear which is better for smooth drivingaway on a slippery road. Push the selec-tor lever to the -(DOWN) side to shiftback to 1st gear.

CAUTION:o In sports mode, The driver must execute

shifts in accordance with prevailing roadconditions, taking care to keep the en-gine speed below the red zone. For en-gine protection, upward shifts are madeautomatically when the engine rpmreaches the red zone.

o By rapidly moving the selector lever back-wards (-) twice, it is possible to skip onegear, i.e., 3rd to 1st, 4th to 2nd. Sincesudden engine braking and/or rapid ac-celeration can cause a loss of traction,however, downshifts must be made care-fully in accordance with the vehicle'sspeed.

NOTE:o In sports mode, only the four forward

gears can be selected. To select reverseor park, move the selector lever to the "R"or "P" position as required.

o In sports mode, downward shifts aremade automatically when the vehicleslows down. When the vehicle stops, 1stgear is automatically selected.

C090H01L-GAT

NOTE:o For smooth and safe operation, depress

the brake pedal when shifting from "Neu-tral" position or "Park" position to aforward 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" position to "P" position. Thevehicle must be fully stopped to avoidtransaxle damage.

!

C090I04L-GAT

CAUTION:o Shift into "R", "D" and "P" position only

when the vehicle has completelystopped.

o Do not accelerate the engine in reverseor any of the forward positions with thebrakes applied.

o Always apply the footbrake when shift-ing from "P" or "N", to "R" or "D"position.

o Do not use the "P" (Park) position inplace of the parking brake. Always setthe parking brake, shift the transaxleinto "P" (Park) position and turn off theignition when you leave the vehicle, evenmomentarily. Never leave the vehicleunattended while the engine is running.

o When accelerating from a stop on asteep hill, the vehicle may have a ten-dency to roll backwards. Shifting theshift lever into 2nd gear while in Sportmode will help prevent the vehicle fromrolling backwards.

o Check the automatic transaxle fluid levelregularly, and add fluid as necessary.

o See the maintenance schedule for theproper fluid recommendation.

! WARNING:ABS / TCS / ESC will not prevent accidentsdue to improper or dangerous driving ma-neuvers. Even though vehicle control isimproved during emergency braking, al-ways maintain a safe distance between youand objects ahead. Vehicle speeds shouldalways be reduced during extreme roadconditions.The braking distance for cars equippedwith an anti-lock braking system / TCS / ESCmay be longer than for those without it inthe following road conditions. During theseconditions the vehicle should be driven atreduced speeds:

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

ted or has different surface height.

The safety features of an ABS / TCS / ESCequipped vehicle should not be tested byhigh speed driving or cornering. This couldendanger the safety of yourself or others.

TRACTION CONTROLSYSTEM (TCS)

C300A03Y-GAT

(If installed)

C300A01JM-U

On slippery road surfaces, the traction controlsystem (TCS) limits the drive wheels fromspinning excessively, thus helping the car toaccelerate. It also helps to provide sufficientdriving force and steering performance as thecar turns.

SLIP Control

Limits the drive wheels from spinning exces-sively during starting or while making acceler-ated turns on slippery roads to avoid losing thedriving force of the front wheels.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)

C120A01JM-AAT

(If installed)

The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designedto prevent wheel lock-up during sudden brakingor on hazardous road surfaces. The ABS con-trol module monitors the wheel speed and con-trols the pressure applied to each brake. Thus,in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABSwill increase vehicle control during braking.

NOTE:o A click sound may be heard in the engine

compartment when the vehicle beginsto move after the engine is started. Theseconditions are normal and indicate thatthe anti-lock brake system / TractionControl System / Electronic Stability Con-trol is functioning properly.

o During ABS / TCS / ESC operation, apulsation may be felt in the brake pedalwhen the brakes are applied. Also, anoise may be heard in the engine com-partment while braking. These condi-tions are normal and indicate that theanti-lock brake system / Traction Con-trol System / Electronic Stability ControlSystem is functioning properly.

The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) systemis designed to stabilize the vehicle during cor-nering manuevers. ESC checks where you aresteering and where the vehicle is actually going.ESC applies the brakes at individual wheels andintervenes in the engine management systemto stabilize the vehicle.

The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) systemis an electronic system designed to help thedriver maintain vehicle control under adverseconditions. It is not a substitute for safe drivingpractices. Factors including speed, road con-ditions and driver steering input can all affectwhether ESC will be effective in preventing aloss of control. It is still your responsibility todrive and corner at reasonable speeds and toleave a sufficient margin of safety.

WARNING:Never drive too fast for the road conditionsor too quickly when cornering. Electronicstability control (ESC) will not prevent ac-cidents. Excessive speed in turns, abruptmaneuvers and hydroplaning on wet sur-faces can still result in serious accidents.Only a safe and attentive driver can preventaccidents by avoiding maneuvers thatcause the vehicle to lose traction. Even withESC installed, always follow all the normalprecautions for driving - including drivingat safe speeds for the conditions.

C310B01JM-AAT

ESC ON/OFF Mode

When the ESC is operating, the ESC indicatorin the instrument cluster will blink.If you turn the system off by pressing the ESCswitch, the ESC-OFF indicator will come on andstay on. In the ESC-OFF mode, the stabilitycontrol will be deactivated. Adjust your drivingaccordingly. To turn the system back on, pressthe switch again. The ESC-OFF indicator shouldgo off.

NOTE:The ESC mode will automatically be turnedON after the engine is turned off and re-started.

FULL-TIME 4WD OPERATION

C350A02JM-AAT

(If installed)

Engine power can be delivered to all wheels.Full-time 4WD is useful when good traction isrequired, such as, when driving on slippery, wetor snow-covered roads and when moving outof mud. Your vehicle is not designed for chal-lenging off-road use. Full-time 4WD vehiclesare designed primarily to improve traction andperformance on paved roads and highways inwet and/or slippery conditions. Occasional off-road use such as established unpaved roadsand trails is considered normal use. It is alwaysimportant when traveling off-highway that thedriver carefully reduce their speed to a level thatdoes not exceed the safe operating speed forthose conditions. In general, off-road conditionsprovide less traction and braking effectivenessthan on road conditions. These factors must becarefully considered when driving off-road.Keeping the vehicle in contact with the drivingsurface and under control in these conditions isalways the driver's responsibility for the safetyof him/herself and his or her passengers.

! WARNING:This vehicle is designed primarily for onroad use. Driving the vehicle in challengingoff-road conditions may result in damageto the vehicle. Driving in conditions thatexceed the vehicle's intended design or thedriver's experience level may result in se-vere injury or death.

Driving 4WD Safely

(1)As always, be sure to wear the seat belt.(2)Do not drive in challenging off-road condi-

tions or areas that exceed the vehicle'sbasic design intent or the driver's experi-ence level.

(3)Drive at lower speeds in strong crosswinds.Because of your vehicle's higher center ofgravity, its stability will be affected in cross-winds. Slower speeds ensure better vehiclecontrol.

(4)Check the brake condition after driving in wetor muddy conditions. Press the brake sev-eral times as you move slowly until you feelnormal braking forces return.

(5)Do not drive the vehicle through water. (i.e.streams, rivers, lakes, etc.)

o In unavoidable cases, if the vehicle isbeing towed with all four wheels on theground, it should only be towed forward.

o While towing, check the following items.1. The ignition switch is in "ACC" or

"ON".2. Place the shift lever in neutral (For

Automatic Transaxle, "N" position).3. Release the parking brake.

NOTE:To avoid serious damage to your 4WD ve-hicle, limit towing to 10 mph and not formore than 1 mile at ANY TIME.

(8)The full-time 4WD vehicle cannot betowed by an ordinary tow truck. Makesure that the vehicle is towed with allfour wheels raised off the ground.o Roadside Assistance Program:

Off-roading is not covered. To receiveservice, the vehicle must be on a publiclymaintained road.

o If the vehicle is towed with only twowheels raised off the ground, the 4WDsystem could be damaged.

(6)The stopping distance of the full-time 4WDvehicle differs very little from that of the 2WDvehicle.When driving on a snow-covered road or aslippery, muddy surface, make sure thatyou keep a sufficient distance between yourvehicle and the one ahead of you.

(7)Since the driving torque is always applied toall 4 wheels, the performance of the full-time4WD vehicle is greatly affected by the con-dition of the tires. Be sure to equip it with fourtires of the same size and type.o When replacement of any of the tires or

wheels is necessary, replace all of themwith tires or wheels of the same size type.

o Rotate the tires and check the tire pres-sure at regular intervals.

! WARNING:Your vehicle is equipped with tires de-signed to provide for safe ride and handlingcapability.Do not use a size and type of tire and wheelthat is different from the one that is origi-nally installed on your vehicle. It can affectthe safety and performance of your vehicle,which could lead to handling failure orrollover and serious injury.When replacing the tires, be sure to equipall four tires with the tire and wheel of thesame size, type, tread, brand and load-carrying capacity. If you nevertheless de-cide to equip your vehicle with any tire/wheel combination not recommended byHyundai for off-road driving, you shouldnot use these tires for highway driving.


18

! CAUTION:o While the full-time 4WD vehicle is being

raised on a jack, never start the engine orcause the tires to rotate.There is danger that rotating tires touch-ing the ground could cause the vehicleto go off the jack and to jump forward.

o If one of the front or rear wheels beginsto spin in mud, snow, etc., the vehiclecan sometimes be driven out by de-pressing the accelerator pedal further;however, avoid running the engine con-tinuously at high rpm because doing socould damage the 4WD system.

(10)When using tire chains, always attach themto the front wheels.

(11)If the front or rear wheels get stuck in themud, do not spin them recklessly. The 4WDsystem could be damaged.

o In rare cases when it's unavoidable thata 4WD vehicle is to be inspected on a2WD roll tester, strictly follow the proce-dures.1. Check the tire pressures recom-

mended for your vehicle.2. Place the front wheels on the roll

tester as shown in the illustration.3. Release the parking brake.4. Place the rear wheels on the tempo-

rary free roller as shown in the illustra-tion.

!

! WARNING:Keep away from the front of the vehiclewhile inspecting. This is very dangerous asthe vehicle can jump forward and causeserious injury or death.

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

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


o In a collision, an unbelted person issignicantly more likely to be seriouslyinjured or killed than a person wearing aseat belt.

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


(9)For a speedometer test or inspection/main-tenance (I/M) program of a Tucson 4WDvehicle, use a four wheel chassis dynamom-eter.

CAUTION:Never engage the parking brake while per-forming these tests.


194WD LOCK SYSTEM

C360A01O-GAT

(With Electronic Control 4WD)(If installed)

This 4WD system is designed for dividing thepower ratio automatically in normal driving con-ditions.During off-road or low-friction driving condi-tions, press the 4WD lock button to drive in full-time 4WD, dividing the power ratio to 50:50 in thefront and rear wheels. The 4WD lock indicatorlight in the instrument cluster is illuminated.

This setup begins to get cancelled when thevehicle speed exceeds 30 km/h, and the func-tion is completely released at a speed of 40 km/h or higher. Conversely, the function is rerunwhen the speed again drops to 40 km/h or lower,and is fully established at speeds below 30 km/h.To release the 4WD lock function, press the4WD lock button again.The 4WD lock indicator light in the instrumentcluster should go off.

Four Wheel Drive (4WD) transfer mode selection

Transfer mode Selection button Indicator light Description

o This mode is used for climbing or descending sharp grades, off-roaddriving, driving on sandy and muddy roads etc. to maximize traction.

o This mode automatically begins to deactivate at speed above 19 mph(30 km/h) and is shifted to 4WD AUTO mode at speed above 25 mph(40 km/h). If the vehicle decelerates to speeds below 19 mph (30 km/h), however, the transfer mode is shifted into 4WD LOCK mode again.

o When driving in AUTO mode, the vehicle operates similar to theconventional 2WD vehicles under normal operating conditions.However, if the system determines that there is a need for the 4WDmode, the engine’s driving power is distributed to all four wheelsautomatically without driver intervention.

o When driving on normal roads and pavement, the vehicle movessimilar to the conventional 2WD vehicles.

o When the 4WD LOCK mode is deactivated, a shock may be felt as the drive power delivered entirely to the front wheels. This shock isnot a mechanical failure.


21GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES

C130A02A-AAT

WARNING:o Whenever leaving vehicle or parking,

always set the parking brake as far aspossible and fully engage the vehicle'stransaxle into the park position. Ve-hicles not fully engaged in park with theparking brake set are at risk for movinginadvertently and injuring yourself orothers.

o All vehicles should always have the park-ing brake fully engaged when parking toavoid inadvertent movement of the carwhich can injure occupants or pedestri-ans.

o 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 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. Firmlyengage the parking brake and place the gearselector lever in "P" (automatic transaxle) orin first or reverse gear (manual transaxle).If your car is facing downhill, turn the frontwheels into the curb to help keep the car fromrolling. If your car is facing uphill, turn the frontwheels away from the curb to help keep thecar from rolling. If there is no curb or if it isrequired by other conditions to keep the carfrom rolling, block the wheels.

o Under some conditions your parking brakecan freeze in the engaged position. This ismost likely to happen when there is an ac-cumulation of snow or ice around or near therear brakes or if the brakes are wet. If thereis a risk that the parking brake may freeze,apply it only temporarily while you put thegear selector lever in "P" (automatic) or infirst or reverse gear (manual transaxle) andblock the rear wheels so the car cannot roll.Then release the parking brake.

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.

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!Your car will not stop as quickly if the brakesare wet. Wet brakes may cause the car topull to one side. To dry the brakes, apply thebrakes lightly while driving slowly until thebraking action returns to normal, taking careto keep the car under control at all times. Ifthe braking action does not return to normal,stop as soon as it is safe to do so and call yourHyundai dealer for assistance.

o Don't coast down hills with the car out of gear.This is extremely hazardous. Keep the carin gear at all times, use the brakes to slowdown, then shift to a lower gear so that enginebraking will help you maintain a safe 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 com-ponents.

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 be safeto do so, pull off the road and stop in a safeplace.


22

o Be sure that the wheels are aligned cor-rectly. Improper alignment can result fromhitting curbs or driving too fast over irregularsurfaces. Poor alignment causes faster tirewear and may also result in other problemsas well as greater fuel consumption.

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,more frequent maintenance is required (seeSection 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 unnecessaryweight in your car. Weight reduces fueleconomy.

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.

o Remember, your Hyundai does not requireextended warm-up. After the engine hasstarted, allow the engine to run for 10 to 20seconds prior to placing the vehicle in gear.In very cold weather, however, give yourengine a slightly longer warm-up period.

o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Luggingis driving too slowly in too high a gear result-ing in the engine bucking. If this happens,shift to a lower gear. Over-revving is racingthe engine beyond its safe limit. This can beavoided by shifting at the recommendedspeeds.

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

DRIVING FOR ECONOMY

C140A02A-AAT

You can save fuel and get more miles from yourcar 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 pos-sible. 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 alsoincrease wear on these components. Inaddition, 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 inflatedto the recommended pressure. Incorrectinflation, either too much or too little, resultsin unnecessary tire wear. Check the tirepressures at least once a month.


23SMOOTH CORNERING

C150A01A-AAT

Avoid braking or gear changing in corners,especially when roads are wet. Ideally, cornersshould always be taken under gentle accelera-tion. If you follow these suggestions, tire wearwill be held to a minimum.

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 chargein your battery can be checked by your Hyundaidealer or a service station.

C160C01A-AAT

Use High Quality Ethylene GlycolCoolant

Your Hyundai is delivered with high qualityethylene glycol coolant in the cooling system. Itis the only type of coolant that should be usedbecause it helps prevent corrosion in the cool-ing system, lubricates the water pump andprevents freezing. Be sure to replace or replen-ish your coolant in accordance with the main-tenance schedule in Section 5. Before winter,have your coolant tested to assure that itsfreezing point is sufficient for the temperaturesanticipated during the winter.

NOTE:o Tire chains are not legal in all states.

Check state laws before fitting tirechains.

o Tire chains are to be used on front tiresonly.

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:

C160B01JM-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,it is necessary to select tires equivalent in sizeand type of 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.

Carry Emergency Equipment

Depending on the severity of the weather whereyou drive your car, you should carry appropri-ate emergency equipment. Some of the itemsyou may want to carry include tire chains, towstraps or chains, flashlight, emergency flares,sand, a shovel, jumper cables, a window scraper,gloves, ground cloth, coveralls, a blanket, etc.

C160H02A-AAT

Use Approved Window Washer Anti-Freeze in System

To keep the water in the window washer systemfrom freezing, add an approved window washeranti-freeze solution in accordance with instruc-tions on the container. Window washer anti-freeze is available from Hyundai dealers andmost auto parts outlets. Do not use enginecoolant or other types of anti-freeze as thesemay damage the paint finish.

C160G01A-AAT

To Keep Locks from Freezing

To keep the locks from freezing, squirt anapproved de-icer fluid or glycerine into the keyopening. If a lock is covered with ice, squirt it withan approved de-icing fluid to remove the ice. Ifthe lock is frozen internally, you may be able tothaw it out by using a heated key. Handle theheated key with care to avoid injury.

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.

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 brakesor if the brakes are wet. If there is a risk theparking brake may freeze, apply it only tempo-rarily while you put the gear selector lever in "P"(automatic) or in first or reverse gear (manualtransaxle) and block the rear wheels so the carcannot roll. Then release the parking brake.

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.

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.If you aren't sure what weight oil you should use,consult your Hyundai dealer.

Pre-Trip Inspections

1. Tires:Adjust the tire inflation pressures to specifica-tion. 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 inflationpressure shown on the tires.

WARNING:o Underinflated or overinflated tires can

cause poor handling, loss of vehiclecontrol, and sudden tire failure leadingto accidents, injuries, and even death.Always check tires are properly inflatedbefore driving. Refer to pages 2-28 and8-3 for proper tire pressures and furtherinformation.

o Driving on tires with no or insufficienttread is dangerous. Worn-out tires canresult in loss of vehicle control, colli-sions, injury, and even death. Worn-outtires should be replaced as soon aspossible and should never be used fordriving. Always check tire tread beforedriving your car. Refer to 8-11 for furtherinformation and tread limits.

USE OF LIGHTS

C180A01A-AAT

Check your lights regularly for correct opera-tion and always keep them clean. When drivingduring the day in conditions of poor visibility, itis helpful to drive with headlights on low beam.This enables you to be seen as well as to see.

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.


26

C190B01S-AAT

Trailer Hitches

Select the proper hitch and ball combination,making sure that its location is compatible withthat of the trailer or vehicle being towed.Use a quality non-equalizing hitch which distrib-utes the tongue load uniformly throughout thechassis.

The hitch should be bolted securely to the carand installed by a qualified technician. DO NOTUSE A HITCH DESIGNED FOR TEMPORARYINSTALLATION AND NEVER USE ONE THATATTACHES ONLY TO THE BUMPER.

C190C01Y-AAT

Trailer Brakes

If your trailer is equipped with a braking system,make sure it conforms to federal and/or localregulations and that it is properly installed andoperating correctly.

NOTE:If you tow a trailer or vehicle, your car willrequire more frequent maintenance due tothe additional load. See Maintenance UnderSevere Usage Conditions" on page 5-6.

C190D01S-AAT

Safety Chains

Should the hitch connection between your ve-hicle and the trailer or vehicle you are towing fail,the trailer or vehicle could wander dangerouslyacross other lanes of traffic and ultimately leavethe roadway. To eliminate this potentially dan-gerous situation, safety chains, attached be-tween your car and the trailer or towed vehicle,are required in most states.

CAUTION:o Never connect a trailer brake system

directly to the vehicle brake system.o When towing a trailer on steep grades (in

excess of 6%) pay close attention to theengine coolant temperature gauge toensure the engine does not overheat. Ifthe needle of the coolant temperaturegauge moves across the dial towards"H" (HOT), pull over and stop as soon asit is safe to do so, and allow the engineto idle until it cools down. You mayproceed once the engine has cooledsufficiently.

TRAILER OR VEHICLE TOWING

!

C190A01S-AAT

If you are considering towing with your car, youshould first check with your State's Departmentof Motor Vehicles to determine their legal re-quirements.Since laws vary from State to State the require-ments for towing trailers, cars, or other types ofvehicles or apparatus may differ. Ask yourHyundai dealer for further details before towing.

CAUTION:Do not do any towing with your car duringits first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) in order toallow the engine to properly break in. Fail-ure to heed this caution may result in seri-ous engine or transaxle damage.

C190F01O-AAT

Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips

1. Before towing, check hitch and safety chainconnections as well as proper operation ofthe trailer running lights, brake lights, andturn signals.

2. Trailer towing requires more fuel than normalconditions.

3. To maintain engine braking efficiency, do nottow a trailer with the transaxle in fifth gear(manual transaxle) or overdrive (automatictransaxle).

4. Always secure items in the trailer to preventload shift while driving.

5. Check the condition and air pressure of alltires on the trailer and your car. Low tirepressure can seriously affect the handling.Also check the spare tire.

6. The vehicle/trailer combination is more af-fected by crosswind and buffeting.When being passed by a large vehicle, keepa constant speed and steer straight ahead.If there is too much wind buffeting, slow downto get out of the other vehicle's air turbulence.

7. When parking your car and trailer, especiallyon a hill, be sure to follow all the normalprecautions. Turn your front wheel into thecurb, set the parking brake firmly, and put thetransaxle in 1st or Reverse (manual) or Park(automatic). In addition, place wheel chocksat each of the trailer's tires.

8. If the trailer has electric brakes, start yourvehicle and trailer moving, and then apply thetrailer brake controller by hand to be sure thebrakes are working. This lets you checkyour electrical connection at the same time.

9. During your trip, check occasionally to besure that the load is secure, and that thelights and any trailer brakes are still working.

10.Avoid jerky starts, sudden acceleration orsudden stops.

11.Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.12.Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long

or too frequently. This could cause the brakesto overheat, resulting in reduced brakingefficiency.

13.When going down a hill, shift into a lower gearand use the engine braking effect.When ascending a long grade, downshift thetransaxle to a lower gear and reduce speedto reduce chances of engine overloadingand/or overheating.

14.If you have to stop while going uphill, do nothold the vehicle in place by pressing on theaccelerator. This can cause the automatictransaxle to overheat. Use the parking brakeor footbrake.

15.If the transaxle shifts frequently while goingup a hill, shift down one gear.

NOTE:When towing check transaxle fluid morefrequently.

! WARNING:o Improperly loading your vehicle and

trailer can seriously affect its steeringand braking performance causing acrash which could cause serious injuryor death.

o Towing a trailer affected vehicle han-dling and braking.

o Drive more slowly when towing a trailerand allow more distance when braking.

o Be careful when driving in slippery andwindy conditions.

o Be careful when turning and while driv-ing up and down hills.

o Do not exceed 45 mph or the postedtowing speed limit, whichever is lower.


29

CAUTION:If overheating should occur when towing,(the temperature gauge reads near the redzone), taking the following actions mayreduce or eliminate the problem.

1. Turn off the air conditioner.2. Reduce highway speed.3. Select a lower gear when going uphill.4. While in stop and go traffic, place the

gear selector in park or neutral and idlethe engine at a higher speed.

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 combined

weight of occupants and cargo shouldnever exceed XXX pounds'' on yourvehicle's placard.

(2)Determine the combined weight ofthe driver and passengers that will beriding 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.

Compliance Label

The compliance label is located on thedriver's side of the center piller outerpanel.

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.

C190G01JM !

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 weigh stationand weigh your vehicle. Your dealer canhelp you with this. Be sure to spread outyour load equally on both sides of thecenterline.

WARNING:o Never exceed the GVWR for your

vehicle, the GAWR for either thefront or rear axle and vehicle ca-pacity weight. Exceeding these rat-ings 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 vehicle.Be careful not to overload yourvehicle.

Refer to your vehicle's tire and loadinginformation label for specific informa-tion about your vehicle's capacity weightand seating positions. The combinedweight of the driver, passengers andcargo should never exceed yourvehicle's capacity weight.


33

! WARNING:o Do not load your vehicle any

heavier than the GVWR, either themaximum front or rear GAWR andvehicle capacity weight. If you do,parts, including tires on your ve-hicle can break, and it can changethe way your vehicle handles andbraking ability. This could causeyou to lose control and crash.Also, overloading can shorten thelife of your vehicle.

!NOTE:o Overloading your vehicle may

cause damage. Repairs would notbe covered by your warranty. Donot overload your vehicle.

o Using heavier suspension com-ponents to get added durabilitymight not change your weight rat-ings. Ask your dealer to help youload your vehicle the right way.

The label will help you decide how muchcargo and installed equipment yourvehicle can carry.

If you carry items inside your vehicle –like suitcases, tools, packages, or any-thing else – they more as fast as thevehicle goes. If you have to stop or turnquickly, or if there is a crash, the itemswill keep going and can cause an injuryif they strikes the driver or a passenger.

WARNING:o Overloading your vehicle can

cause heat buildup in yourvehicle's tires and possible tirefailure that could lead to a crash.

o Overloading your vehicle cancause increased stopping dis-tances that could lead to a crash.

o A crash resulting from poor han-dling vehicle damage, tire failure,or increased stopping distancescould result in serious injury ordeath.


34

!WARNING:

Items you carry inside your vehiclecan strike and injure people in asudden stop or turn, or in a crash.

o Put things in the cargo area ofyour vehicle. Try to spread theweight evenly.

o Never stack items, like suitcases,inside the vehicle above the topsof the seats.

o Do not leave an unsecured childrestraint in your vehicle.

o When you carry something insidethe vehicle, secure it.

o Do not drive with a seat foldeddown unless necessary.

3WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

3JUMP STARTING

!

o If you should accidentally get acid on yourskin or in your eyes, immediately removeany contaminated clothing and flush the areawith clear water for at least 15 minutes. Thenpromptly obtain medical attention. If youmust be transported to an emergency facil-ity, continue to apply water to the affectedarea with a sponge or cloth.

o The gas produced by the battery during thejump-start operation is highly explosive. Donot smoke or allow a spark or an open flamein the vicinity.

o The battery being used to provide the jumpstart must be 12-volt. If you cannot deter-mine that it is a 12-volt battery, do not attemptto use it for the jump start.

o To jump start a car with a discharged battery,follow this procedure exactly:

1. If the booster battery is installed in anothervehicle, be sure the two vehicles are nottouching.

2. Turn off all unnecessary lights and acces-sories in both vehicles.

3. Attach the clamps of the jumper cable in theexact location shown on the illustration. First,attach one clamp of the jumper cable to thepositive (+) post or cable of the dischargedbattery.

Then attach the other end of the same cableto the positive (+) post or cable of the boosterbattery. Next, using the other cable, attachone clamp to the negative (-) post or cableof the booster battery. Then attach the otherend of that cable to a solid metal part of theengine of the vehicle with the dischargedbattery away from the battery. Do not con-nect the cable to any moving 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 2,000rpm.

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 2,000 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.

D020A03A-AAT

WARNING:The gas produced by the battery during thejump-start operation is highly explosive. Ifthese instructions are not followed exactly,serious personal injury and damage to thevehicle may occur! If you are not sure howto follow this procedure, seek qualifiedassistance. Automobile batteries containsulfuric acid. This is poisonous and highlycorrosive. When jump starting, wear pro-tective glasses and be careful not to getacid on yourself, your clothing or on the car.

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS

!

!

!

WARNING:While the engine is running, keep hair,hands and clothing away from moving partssuch as the fan and drive belts to preventinjury.

5. If the water pump drive belt is broken orengine coolant is leaking out, stop the engineimmediately and call the nearest Hyundaidealer for assistance.

WARNING:Do not remove the radiator cap when theengine is hot. This can allow coolant to beblown out of the opening and cause seri-ous burns.

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 coolant to the reservoir(page 6-9) 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 overheatinghappens again, call a Hyundai dealer forassistance.

CAUTION:Serious loss of coolant indicates there is aleak in the cooling system and this shouldbe checked as soon as possible by a Hyundaidealer.

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 conditioning is on,turn it off.

3. If engine coolant is running out under the caror steam is coming out from the hood, stopthe engine. Do not open the hood until thecoolant has stopped running or the steaminghas stopped. If there is no visible loss ofengine coolant and no steam, leave theengine running and check to be sure theengine cooling fan is operating. If the fan isnot running, turn the engine 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 theair conditioning had been in use, it is normalfor cold water to be draining from it when youstop).


5TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYS-TEM (TPMS)

C320A01JM

C320A02JM-AAT

(If installed)

➀ Low Tire Pressure Telltale➁ TPMS Malfunction Indicator

Each tire, including the spare (if pro-vided), should be checked monthly whencold and inflated to the inflation pres-sure recommended by the vehicle manu-facturer on the vehicle placard or tireinflation pressure label. (If your vehiclehas tires of a different size than the sizeindicated on the vehicle placard or tireinflation pressure label, you should de-termine the proper tire inflation pres-sure for those tires.)

As an added safety feature, your ve-hicle has been equipped with a tirepressure monitoring system (TPMS)that illuminates a low tire pressure tell-tale when one or more of your tires issignificantly under-inflated. Accord-ingly, when the low tire pressure telltaleilluminates, you should stop and checkyour tires as soon as possible, andinflate them to the proper pressure.Driving on a significantly under-inflatedtire causes the tire to overheat and canlead to tire failure. Under-inflation alsoreduces fuel efficiency and tire treadlife, and may affect the vehicle’s han-dling and stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not asubstitute for proper tire maintenance,and it is the driver’s responsibility tomaintain correct tire pressure, even ifunder-inflation has not reached the levelto trigger illumination of the TPMS lowtire pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equippedwith a TPMS malfunction indicator toindicate when the system is not operat-ing properly. The TPMS malfunctionindicator is provided by a separate tell-tale, which displays the symbol "TPMS"when illuminated. When the malfunc-tion indicator is illuminated, the systemmay not be able to detect or signal lowtire pressure as intended. TPMS mal-functions may occur for a variety ofreasons, including the installation ofreplacement or alternate tires or wheelson the vehicle that prevent the TPMSfrom functioning properly. Always checkthe TPMS malfunction telltale after re-placing one or more tires or wheels onyour vehicle to ensure that the replace-ment or alternate tires and wheels allowthe TPMS to continue to function prop-erly.

TPMS (Tire pressure monitoringsystem) malfunction indicator

The TPMS malfunction indicator turnson and stays on when there is a problemwith the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-tem. If the system is able to correctlydetect an under-inflation warning at thesame time as system failure then it willilluminate both the TPMS malfunctionand the low tire pressure telltale e. g. ifFront Left sensor fails, the TPMS mal-function indicator turns on, but if FrontRight, Rear Left, or Rear Right tire is

Low tire pressure telltale

When the tire pressure monitoring sys-tem warning telltale is illuminated, oneor more of your tires is significantlyunder-inflated.Immediately reduce your speed, avoidhard cornering and anticipate increasedstopping distances. You should stopand check your tires as soon as pos-sible. Inflate the tires to the properpressure as indicated on the vehicle’splacard or tire inflation pressure labellocated on the driver’s side center pillarouter panel. If you cannot reach a ser-vice station or if the tire cannot hold thenewly added air, replace the low pres-sure tire with the temporary spare tire.Then the TPMS malfunction indicatormay turn on and the Low Tire Pressuretelltale may turn off after restarting andabout 20 minutes of continuous drivingbefore you have the low-pressure tirerepaired and replaced on the vehicle.

WARNING - Low pressuredamage

Significantly low tire pressure makesthe vehicle unstable and can contrib-ute to loss of vehicle control andincreased braking distances.Continued driving on low pressuretires can cause the tires to overheatand fail.

CAUTION - Changing tem-peratures

In winter or cold weather, the low tirepressure telltale may be illuminatedif the tire pressure was adjusted tothe recommended tire inflation pres-sure in warm weather. It does notmean your TPMS is malfunctioningbecause the decreased temperatureleads to a proportional lowering oftire pressure.When you drive your vehicle from awarm area to a cold area or from acold area to a warm area, or theoutside temperature is greatly higheror lower, you should check the tireinflation pressure and adjust the tiresto the recommended tire inflationpressure.

under-inflated, the low tire pressure tell-tale may turn on at the same time as theTPMS malfunction indicator.Have the system checked by an autho-rized Hyundai dealer as soon as pos-sible to determine the cause of theproblem.

NOTE:o The TPMS malfunction indicator

may be illuminated if the vehicleis moving around electric powersupply cable or radio transmittersuch as police stations, govern-ment and public offices, broad-casting stations, military installa-tions, airports, or transmittingtower, etc. which can interfere withnormal operation of the Tire Pres-sure Monitoring System (TPMS).

o The TPMS malfunction indicatormay be illuminated if snow chainsor some electronic devices, suchas notebook computer, are usedin the vehicle. This can interferewith normal operation of the TirePressure Monitoring System(TPMS).

o If there is a failed tire sensor, it ispossible for the TPMS to tempo-rarily learn a replacement sensorif closely driven to another ve-hicle that is also equipped withTPMS. In rare cases, this maytemporarily delay the TPMS mal-function indicator from turningon.

Changing a tire with TPMS

If you have a flat tire, the Low TirePressure telltale will turn on. Have theflat tire repaired by an authorizedHyundai dealer as soon as possible orreplace the flat tire with the temporaryspare tire.

NOTE:NEVER use a puncture-repairingagent to repair and/or inflate a lowpressure tire. If used, you will haveto replace the tire pressure sensor.

Each wheel is equipped with a tirepressure sensor mounted inside the tirebehind the valve stem. You must useTPMS specific wheels.It is recommended that you alwayshave your tires serviced by an autho-rized Hyundai dealer as soon as pos-sible.After you replace the low pressure tirewith the temporary spare tire, the TPMSmalfunction indicator may illuminateafter restarting and about 20 minutes ofcontinuous driving.Once the low pressure tire is re-inflatedto the recommended pressure and in-stalled on the vehicle, the TPMS mal-function indicator and the low tire pres-sure telltale will be soon extinguished.If the low pressure and TPMS malfunc-tion indicators are not extinguished af-ter about 20 minutes of continuousdriving, please visit an authorizedHyundai dealer.You may not be able to identify a low tireby simply looking at it. Always use agood quality tire pressure gauge tomeasure the tire's inflation pressure.

This device complies with Part 15 ofthe FCC rules.Operation is subject to the following twoconditions:1. This device may not cause harmful

interference, and2. This device must accept any interfer-

ence received, including interferencethat may cause undesired operation.

WARNING - TPMSo The TPMS cannot alert you to se-

vere and sudden tire damagecaused by external factors such asnails or road debris.

o If you feel any vehicle instability,immediately take your foot off theaccelerator, apply the brakesgradually and with light force, andslowly move to a safe position offthe road.

WARNING:Changes or modifications not ex-pressly approved by the party re-sponsible for compliance could voidthe user’s authority to operate theequipment.

Please note that a tire that is hot (frombeing driven) will have a higher pres-sure measurement than a tire that iscold (from sitting stationary for at least3 hours and driven less than 1 mile (1.6km) during that 3 hour period). Allow thetire to cool before measuring the infla-tion pressure.Always be sure the tire is cold beforeinflating to the recommended pressure.A cold tire means the vehicle has beensitting for 3 hours and driven for lessthan 1 mile (1.6 km) in that 3 hourperiod.

CAUTION:Do not use any tire sealant if yourvehicle is equipped with a Tire Pres-sure Monitoring System. The liquidsealant can damage the tire pressuresensors.In order for the system to correctlymonitor tires for under-inflation,there should be a total of exactly 4sensors fitted to each of the fourdriven wheel positions.

!

WARNING - Protecting TPMSTampering with, modifying, or dis-abling the Tire Pressure MonitoringSystem (TPMS) components may in-terfere with the system's ability to warnthe driver of low tire pressure condi-tions and/or TPMS malfunctions.

There should be no other sensors inthe vehicle including spare tire po-sition since this could cause thesystem to monitor the wrong sen-sors.

19IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYS

D120A01A-AAT

If you lose your keys, many Hyundai dealerscan make you a new key if you have your keynumber. If you lock the keys inside your car andyou cannot obtain a new key, many Hyundaidealers can use special tools to open the doorfor you.

For emergency towing when no commercialtow vehicle is available, attach a tow cable,chain or strap to one of the towing hooks underthe front/rear of your vehicle. Be very carefulwhen attempting this procedure when the ve-hicle is on any unpaved surface to avoid dam-age to your vehicle.Nor should towing be attempted if the wheels,drive train, axles, steering or brakes are dam-aged. Before towing, be sure the transaxle is inneutral and the key is in "ACC" (with the engineoff) or in the "ON" position (with the enginerunning). A driver must be in the towed vehicleto steer it and operate the brakes.

NOTE:To avoid serious damage to your 4WD ve-hicle, limit the towing to 10 mph and not formore than 1 mile at ANY TIME.

4 CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE

2 CORROSION PROTECTION

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 isover.

o When cleaning underneath the car, giveparticular attention to the components underthe fenders and other areas that are hiddenfrom view. Do a thorough job; just dampeningthe accumulated mud rather than washing itaway will accelerate corrosion rather thanprevent it. Water under high pressure andsteam are particularly effective in removingaccumulated mud and corrosive materials.

E020A01A-AAT

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

E010D01A-AAT

Moisture Breeds Corrosion

Moisture creates the conditions in which corro-sion is most likely to occur. For example, cor-rosion is accelerated by high humidity, particu-larly when temperatures are just above freez-ing. In such conditions, the corrosive material iskept in contact with the car surfaces by mois-ture that is slow to evaporate.Mud is particularly corrosive because it is slowto dry and holds moisture in contact with thevehicle. Although the mud appears to be dry, itcan still retain the moisture and promote corro-sion.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 to thevisible surfaces but particularly to the undersideof the car.

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.

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-sion

By using the most advanced design and con-struction practices to combat corrosion,Hyundai produces cars of the highest quality.However, this is only part of the job. To achievethe long-term corrosion resistance yourHyundai can deliver, the owner's cooperationand assistance is also required.

TO HELP PREVENT CORROSION

4CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE

3WASHING AND WAXING

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 cleaned up,flushed with clear water and thoroughly dried.

E020D02A-AAT

Keep Paint and Trim in Good Condition

Scratches or chips in the finish should becovered with "touch-up" paint as soon as pos-sible to reduce the possibility of corrosion. Ifbare metal is showing through, the attention ofa qualified body and paint shop is recommended.

Bird droppings : Bird droppings are highly cor-rosive and may damage painted surfaces in justa few hours. Always remove bird droppings assoon as possible.

E020C02A-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 youwash your car in the garage or drive it into thegarage when it is still wet or covered with snow,ice or mud. Even a heated garage can contrib-ute to corrosion unless it is well ventilated somoisture is dispersed.

E030A03A-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 remove dustand loose dirt. In winter, or if you have driventhrough mud or muddy water, be sure to thor-oughly clean the underside as well. Use a harddirect stream of water to remove accumulationsof mud or corrosive materials. Use a goodquality car-washing solution and follow themanufacturer's directions on the package.These are available at your Hyundai dealer orauto parts outlet. Don't use strong householddetergents, gasoline, strong solvents or abra-sive cleaning powders as these may damagethe finish.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.

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.


4

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 sub-stances on the underside of the splashboardsof the car. Make sure that the outlets and theunderside of the doors are open. Paint damagecan be caused by small accumulation of tar,industrial precipitation, tree resin, insects andbird droppings, when not removed immediately.If water alone is not strong enough to remove theaccumulated dirt, use a mild car washing solu-tion. Be sure to rinse the surface after washingto remove the solution. Never allow the solutionto dry on the painted surfaces.

To clean whitewall tires, use a stiff brush orsoapy 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.

CAUTION:!

o Water washing in the engine compart-ment including high pressure waterwashing may cause the failure of electri-cal circuits located in the engine com-partment.

o Never allow water or other liquids tocome in contact with electrical/electroniccomponents inside the vehicle as thismay damage them.

Do not use gaso-line, solvent, paint thinner or other strong clean-ers.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 clear 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 your carrepainted, do not leave the bumpers on thecar if the car is going to be placed in a high-temperature paint booth.

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.

E030C01A-AAT

Polishing and Waxing

Always wash and dry the car before polishingor waxing or using a combination cleaner andwax. Use a good quality commercial productand follow the manufacturer's directions on thecontainer. Polish and wax the bright trim piecesas well as the paint.

E030B01A-AAT

Spot Cleaning

Don't use gasoline, strong solvents or corro-sive cleaning agents. These can damage thefinish of the car. To remove road tar, useturpentine on a 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 has lostits luster, use a commercial car-cleaning polish.


6 ANY QUESTIONS?

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.

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 andfollow them exactly. Using a vacuum cleanerwith the appropriate attachment, remove asmuch dirt from the carpets as possible. Applythe foam following the manufacturer's direc-tions, then rub in overlapping circles. Do not addwater. These cleaners work best when thecarpet is kept as dry as possible.

E050A01A-AAT

If you have any questions about the care of yourcar, consult your Hyundai dealer.

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.

E040B01A-AAT

To Clean the Leather Upholstery(If installed)

In the normal course of use, leather upholsteredsurfaces will, like any material, pick-up dust anddirt. This dust and dirt must be cleaned off or itmay work into the surface of the leather, caus-ing damage.

Fine leather needs care, and should be cleanedwhen necessary. Washing leather thoroughlywith soap and water will keep your leatherlustrous, beautiful and ensure you have manyyears of wear.Take a piece of cheese cloth and using any mildsoap and lukewarm water, work up a goodlather. Thoroughly wash the leather. Wipe cleanwith a slightly damp cloth and dry with soft cloth.Do this as often as the leather becomes soiled.

During tanning operations, sufficient oils areincorporated through processing that none needbe applied during the life of the leather. Oilapplied to the finished surface will in no way helpthe leather and may do more harm than good.Varnishes and furniture polishes should neverbe used under any conditions.

21CHECKING AND REPLACINGFUSES

!G200B02JM-AAT

Replacing Accessory FusesCAUTION:

When replacing a fusible link, never useanything but a new fusible link with thesame or lower amperage rating. Never usea piece of wire or a higher-rated fusible link.This could result in serious damage andcreate a fire hazard.

The fuse box for the lights and other electricalaccessories will be found on the left side ofcrash pad. Inside the box you will find a listshowing the circuits protected by each fuse.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:

G200A03A-AAT

Replacing a Fusible Link

A fusible link will melt if the electrical circuits fromthe battery are ever overloaded, thus prevent-ing damage to the entire wiring harness. (Thiscould be caused by a short in the systemdrawing too much current.) If this ever happens,have a Hyundai dealer determine the cause,repair the system and replace the fusible link.The fusible links are located in a relay box in theengine compartement for easy inspection.

G200B02L

!4. Replace the blown fuse by pressing a new

fuse 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 dealer.If you do not have a spare fuse, you may beable 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.

CAUTION:An open fuse indicates that there is a prob-lem in the electrical circuit. If you replace afuse and it blows as soon as the accessoryis turned on, the problem is serious andshould be referred to a Hyundai dealer fordiagnosis and repair. Never replace a fusewith anything except a fuse with the sameor a lower amperage rating. A higher capac-ity fuse could cause damage and create afire hazard.

NOTE:See page 6-35 for the fuse panel descrip-tions.

Good Open-Replace

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(a small "fuse puller" tool is contained in therelay and fuse box of the engine room tosimplify this operation).

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

H010D01A-AAT

3. Exhaust Emission Control System

The Exhaust Emission Control System is ahighly effective system which controls exhaustemissions while maintaining good vehicleperformace.

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 air to thecrankcase through the air intake hose. Insidethe crankcase, the fresh air mixes with blow-bygases, which then pass through the PCV valveand into the induction system.

H010A02O-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 systems whichare as follows.

(1) Crankcase emission control system(2) Evaporative emission control system(3) Exhaust emission control system

In order to assure the proper function of theemission control systems, it is recommendedthat you have your car inspected and main-tained by an authorized Hyundai dealer in ac-cordance with the maintenance schedule in thismanual.

Caution for the Inspection and MaintenanceTest (V6 Vehicle with Traction Control Sys-tem)

o To prevent the vehicle from misfiringduring dynamometer testing, discon-nect the ABS connector in the enginecompartment. (2.7 V6 only)

o For more information, see shop manual(Wheel Speed Sensor).

o After dynamometer testing is completed,erase the ABS/TCS DTC (DiagnoticTrouble Code) with a GST (Generic ScanTool) or Hi-Scan Pro.

Canister

Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel tank areabsorbed and stored in the canister. When theengine is running, the fuel vapors absorbed inthe canister are drawn into the induction systemthrough the purge control solenoid valve.

Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)

The purge control solenoid valve is controlledby the Engine Control Module (ECM); when theengine coolant temperature is low during idling,the PCSV closes so that evaporated fuel is nottaken into the engine. After the engine warms-up during ordinary driving, the PCSV opens tointroduce evaporated fuel to the engine.

H010C01S-AAT

2. Evaporative Emission Control (Includ-ing ORVR: Onboard Refueling VaporRecovery) System

The Evaporative Emission Control System isdesigned to prevent fuel vapors from escapinginto the atmosphere.(The ORVR system is designed to allow thevapors from the fuel tank to be loaded into acanister while refueling at the gas station, pre-venting the escape of fuel vapors into theatmosphere.)

7EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS

3CATALYTIC 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, or ishard to start, have your Hyundai dealerinspect and repair the problem as soonas possible.

o Avoid driving with a very low fuel level.Running out of gasoline may cause theengine to misfire and result in damage tothe 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 cause thecatalytic converter to overheat and cre-ate a fire hazard.

o Do not touch the catalytic converter orany other part of the exhaust systemwhile the catalytic converter is hot. Shutoff the engine, wait for at least one hourbefore touching the catalytic converteror any other part of the exhaust system.

H020A01A-AAT

(If installed)

Hyundai vehicles are equipped with a monolithtype three-way catalytic converter to reducethe carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitro-gen oxides contained in the exhaust gas. Ex-haust gases passing through the catalyticconverter cause it to operate at a very hightemperature. The introduction of large amountsof unburned gasoline into the exhaust maycause the catalytic converter to overheat andcreate a fire hazard. This risk may be reducedby observing the following:

H020A01JMCatalytic Converter

! WARNING:o Remember that your Hyundai dealer is

your best source of assistance.o Do not stop your Hyundai over any com-

bustible material such as grass, paper,leaves or rags. These materials mightcontact the hot catalytic converter and afire might result.

These pressures were chosen to pro-vide the most satisfactory combinationof ride comfort, tire wear and stabilityunder normal conditions. Tire pressuresshould be checked at least monthly.Proper tire inflation pressures shouldbe maintained for these reasons: !

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.

Type C

I030A02-A

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:o Inspect your tires frequently for

proper inflation as well as wearand damage. Always use a tirepressure gauge.

o Tires with too much or too littlepressure wear unevenly causingpoor handling, loss of vehiclecontrol, and sudden tire failureleading to accidents, injuries, andeven death. The recommendedcold tire pressure for your vehiclecan be found in this manual andon the tire label located on thedriver's side of the center pillar.

o Worn tires can cause accidents.Replace tires that are worn, showuneven wear, or are damaged. Seepage 8-12.

o Remember to check the pressureof your spare tire. Hyundai recom-mends that you check the spareevery time you check the pressureof the other tires on your vehicle.


5

CAUTION:Always observe the following:

o Check pressures when the tiresare cold. (After the vehicle hasbeen parked for at least three hoursor hasn't been driven more thanone mile (1.6 km) since startingup.)

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 air untilyou reach the recommended amount.If you overfill the tire, release air bypushing on the metal stem in the centerof the tire valve. Recheck the tire pres-sure with the tire gage. Be sure to putthe valve caps back on the valve stems.They help prevent leaks by keeping outdirt and moisture.

I035A01JM-AAT

CHECKING TIRE INFLATION PRES-SURE

Check your tires once a month or more.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).

I060A01O-AAT

TIRE ROTATION

Tires should be rotated every 7,500miles (12,000 km). If you notice thattires are wearing unevenly between ro-tations, have the car checked by aHyundai dealer so the cause may becorrected.After rotating, adjust the tire pressuresand be sure to check wheel nut torque.

I080A01A-AAT

TIRE TRACTION

Tire traction can be reduced if you driveon worn tires, tires that are improperlyinflated or on slippery road surfaces.Tires should be replaced when treadwear indicators appear. To reduce thepossibility of losing control, slow downwhenever there is rain, snow or ice onthe road.

I070A01A-AAT

TIRE BALANCING

A tire that is out of balance may affecthandling and tire wear. The tires on yourHyundai were balanced before the carwas delivered but may need balancingagain during the years you own the car.Whenever a tire is dismounted for re-pair, it should be rebalanced beforebeing reinstalled on the car.

! CAUTION:Do not mix bias-ply and radial-plyunder any circumstances. This maycause dangerous handling charac-teristics.


12

!!WARNING:

To reduce the chance or serious orfatal injuries from an accident causedby tire failure or loss of vehicle con-trol:o Replace tires that are worn, show

uneven wear, or are damaged.Worn tires can cause loss of brak-ing effectiveness, steering con-trol, and traction.

o Do not drive your vehicle with toolittle or too much pressure in yourtires. This can lead to unevenwear and tire failure.

o When replacing tires, never mixradial and bias-ply tires on thesame car. You must replace alltires (including the spare) if mov-ing from radial to bias-ply tires.

HJM5031

I090A04JM-AAT

WHEN TO REPLACE TIRES

The original tires on your car have treadwear indicators . The location of treadwear indicators is shown by the "TWI"or " " marks, etc., The tread wearindicators appear when the tread depthis 0.06 in. (1.6 mm). The tire should bereplaced when these appear as a solidbar across two or more grooves of thetread. Always replace your tires withthose of the recommended size. If youchange wheels, the new wheel's rimwidth and offset must meet Hyundaispecification.

TWI indicator

0.06 in. (1.6 mm)o Using tires and wheel other than

the recommended sizes couldcause unusual handling charac-teristics and poor vehicle control,resulting in a serious accident.

o Wheels that do not meet Hyundai'sspecifications may fit poorly andresult in damage to the vehicle orunusual handling and poor ve-hicle control.

WARNING:


13

I090B02JM-AAT

TIRE MAINTENANCE

In addition to proper inflation, correctwheel alignment helps to decrease tirewear. If you find a tire is worn unevenly,have your dealer check the wheel align-ment.

When you have new tires installed,make sure they are balanced. This willincrease vehicle ride comfort and tirelife. Additionally, a tire shoud always berebalanced if it is removed from thewheel.

! WARNING:Your vehicle is equipped with tiresdesigned to provide for safe ride andhandling capability.Do not use a size and type of tire andwheel that is different from the onethat is originally installed on yourvehicle. It can affect the safety andperformance of your vehicle, whichcould lead to handling failure orrollover and serious injury.When replacing the tires, be sure toequip all four tires with the tire andwheel of the same size, type, tread,brand and load-carrying capacity. Ifyou nevertheless decide to equipyour vehicle with any tire/wheel com-bination not recommended byHyundai for off-road driving, youshould not use these tires for high-way driving.

! WARNING:Tires degrade over time, even whenthey are not being used. Regardlessof the remaining tread, it is recom-mended that tires tread, It is recom-mended that tires generally be re-placed after 6 years of normal ser-vice. Heat caused by not climates orfrequent high loading Conditions canaccelerate the aging process. Fail-ure to follow this Warning can resultin sudden tire failure, which couldlead to a loss of control and anaccident involving serious injury ordeath.

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 under con-trolled conditions on a specified gov-ernment test course. For example, atire graded 150 would wear one and ahalf (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 to varia-tions in driving habits, service prac-tices and differences in road character-istics and climate.

Traction AA, A, B, C - The tractiongrades, from highest to lowest, are AA,A, B, and C. Those grades representthe tire's ability to stop on wet pave-ment as measured under controlledconditions on specified government testsurfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tiremarked C may have poor traction per-formance.

! 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.

!WARNING:

The temperature grade for this tire isestablished for a tire that is properlyinflated and not overloaded. Exces-sive speed, underinflation, or exces-sive loading, either separately or incombination, can cause heat buildupand 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 AA Tempera-ture A

Temperature A, B, C - The tempera-ture grades are A (the highest), B, andC, representing the tire's resistance tothe generation of heat andits ability to dissipate heat when testedunder controlled conditions on a speci-fied indoor laboratory test wheel. Sus-tained high temperature can cause thematerial of the tire to degenerate andreduce tire life, and excessive tempera-ture can lead to sudden tire failure. Thegrade C corresponds to a level of perfor-mance which all passenger car tiresmust meet under the Federal MotorVehicle Safety Standard No. 109.Grades B and A represent higher levelsof performance on the laboratory testwheel than the minimum required bylaw.
