DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE C020A01HP-AAT Before you start the engine, you should always: 1. Look around the vehicle to be sure there are no flat tires, puddles of oil, water or other indications of possible trouble.
If you nevertheless de- cide to equip your vehicle with any tire/ wheel combination not recommended by Hyundai for off-road driving, you should not use these tires for highway driving. TO START THE ENGINE C030A01L-AAT COMBINATION IGNITION SWITCH o Place the shift lever in "P"...

Page 161
It is always possible to shift from "R", "N", "D" position to "P" position. The vehicle must be fully stopped to avoid transaxle damage. DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI C090I03L-GAT CAUTION: o Shift into "R" and "P" position only when the vehicle has completely stopped.
DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI C090N03O-AAT Good Driving Practices o Never move the gear selector lever from "P" or "N" to any other position with the accelera- tor pedal depressed. o Never move the gear selector lever into "P" when the vehicle is in motion.
Driving Hints TCS does not actively apply brakes. Be sure to decelerate the car sufficiently before entering curves. DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI CAUTION: When the TCS indicator blinks, SLIP func- tion has been activated. It also means that the road is slippery or your car is accelerat- ing excessively.
DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI C300B01O-AAT TCS ON Mode When the TCS is operating, the TCS indicator in the instrument cluster will blink. NOTE: 1) The TCS mode will automatically be turned ON after the engine is turned off and restarted. 2) When the traction control system is op- erating properly, you can feel a slight pulsation in the vehicle.
Page 165
4) When moving out of the mud or fresh snow, pressing the accelerator pedal may not cause the engine speed to in- crease due to TCS operation. DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI C310D01JM-AAT Indicators and Warning The indicators should illuminate when the igni- tion key is turned to ON or START but should go out after approximately three seconds.
DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI FULL-TIME 4WD OPERATION C350A03O-AAT (If installed) Engine power can be delivered to all wheels. Full-time 4WD is useful when good traction is required, such as, when driving on slippery, wet or snow-covered roads and when moving out of mud.
Page 167
If you nevertheless de- cide to equip your vehicle with any tire/ wheel combination not recommended by Hyundai for off-road driving, you should not use these tires for highway driving. (8) The full-time 4WD vehicle cannot be towed by an ordinary tow truck. Make sure that the vehicle is towed with all four wheels raised off the ground.
Page 168
DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI o In rare cases when it's unavoidable that a 4WD vehicle is to be inspected on a 2WD 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.
If the braking action does not return to normal, stop as soon as it is safe to do so and call your Hyundai dealer for assistance. DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI o Don't coast down hills with the car out of gear.
(see Section 5 for details). o Keep your car clean. For maximum service, your Hyundai should be kept clean and free of corrosive materials. It is especially impor- tant that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed to accumulate on the underside of the car.
Remember, your Hyundai does not require extended warm-up. As soon as the engine is running smoothly, you can drive away. In very cold weather, however, give your en- gine a slightly longer warm-up period. o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging is driving too slowly in too high a gear result- ing in the engine bucking.

If overheating happens again, call a Hyundai dealer for assistance. CAUTION: Serious loss of coolant indicates there is a leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundai dealer.
SPARE TIRE D040A01O-GAT The following instructions for the FULL SIZE spare tire should be observed: Check inflation pressure as soon as practical after installing the spare tire, and adjust to the specified pressure. The tire pressure should be periodically checked and maintained at the speci- fied pressure while the tire is stored.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY D060D01A-AAT 3. Loosen Wheel Nuts HSM4018 The wheel nuts should be loosened slightly before raising the car. To loosen the nuts, turn the wrench handle coun- terclockwise. When doing this, be sure that the socket is seated completely over the nut so it cannot slip off.
Page 190
Raise the car high enough so that the fully inflated spare tire can be installed. To do this, you will need more ground clearance than is required to remove the flat tire. WARNING: Do not get under the car when it is supported by the jack! This is very dangerous as the vehicle could fall and cause serious injury or death.
Page 191
WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY WARNING: If there is, remove it. If there is not good contact on the mounting sur- face between the wheel and hub, the wheel nuts could come loose and cause the loss of a wheel. Loss of a wheel may result in loss of control of the vehicle.
Page 192
HSM4019 Then position the wrench as shown in the drawing and tighten the wheel nuts. Be sure the socket is seated com- pletely over the nut. Do not stand on the wrench handle or use an extension pipe over the wrench handle. Go around the wheel tightening every other nut until they are all tight.
TOWED D080A01O-GAT If your vehicle has to be towed, it should be done by your Hyundai dealer or a commercial tow truck service. This will help assure that your vehicle is not damaged in towing. Also, profes- sionals are generally aware of local laws gov- erning towing.
Page 194
1) If the vehicle is being towed with the rear wheels on the ground, be sure the parking brake is released. NOTE: Before towing, check the level of the auto- matic transaxle fluid. If it is below the "HOT" range on the dipstick, add fluid. If you cannot add fluid, a towing dolly must be used.
WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY CAUTION: o The 4WD vehicle should never be towed with the wheels on the ground. This can cause serious damage to the transaxle or the 4WD system. o When towing the vehicle, take care not to cause damage to the bumper or under- body of the vehicle.
IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYS D120A01A-AAT If you lose your keys, many Hyundai dealers can make you a new key if you have your key number. If you lock the keys inside your car and you cannot obtain a new key, many Hyundai dealers can use special tools to open the door for you.
CORROSION PREVENTION & APPEARANCE CARE Corrosion Protection ... 4-2 To Help Prevent Corrosion ... 4-2 Washing and Waxing ... 4-3 Cleaning the Interior ... 4-5...
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 achieve the long-term corrosion resistance your Hyundai can deliver, the owner's cooperation and assistance is also required.
Use a good quality car-washing solution and follow the manufacturer's directions on the package. These are available at your Hyundai dealer or auto parts outlet. Don't use strong household detergents, gasoline, strong solvents or abra- sive cleaning powders as these may damage the finish.
To protect the paintwork of the car against corrosion, you must clean your Hyundai (at least once a month). Give special attention to the removal of salt, mud and other sub- stances on the underside of the splashboards of the car.
Maintaining Bumpers Special precautions must be observed to pre- serve the appearance of the bumpers on your Hyundai. They are: o Be careful not to spill battery electrolyte or hydraulic brake fluid on the bumpers. If you do, wash it off immediately with clear water.
However, when cleaning the in- side of the rear window be careful not to damage the rear window defroster wiring. ANY QUESTIONS? E050A01A-AAT If you have any questions about the care of your car, consult your Hyundai dealer.
