Electronic stability control is only a driving aid; all normal precautions for driving in inclement weather and on slippery road surfaces should be observed. DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI C310B01NF-AAT ESC ON/OFF Mode When the ESC is operating, the ESC indicator in the instrument cluster will blink.
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. 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.
DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI o 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.

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 182
WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY CAUTION: o When towing the vehicle, take care not to cause damage to the bumper or under- body of the vehicle. D080B01NF o Do not tow with sling type truck as this may cause damage to the bumper or underbody of the vehicle.
WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY 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.

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.
Page 187
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 clean water.
Page 189
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.

F070J01A-AAT o Brake Pads, Calipers and Rotors Check the pads for excessive wear, discs for run out and wear, and calipers for fluid leakage. F070K01A-AAT o Exhaust Pipe and Muffler Visually inspect the exhaust pipes, muffler and hangers for cracks, deterioration, or damage. Start the engine and listen carefully for any exhaust gas leakage.
Seat control condition and operation o Seat belt condition and operation o Sun visor operation If you notice anything that does not operate correctly or appears to be functioning correctly, inspect it carefully and seek assistance from your Hyundai dealer if service is needed.
CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL G030A01A-AAT Engine oil is essential to the performance and service of the engine. It is suggested that you check the oil level at least once a week in normal use and more often if you are on a trip or driving in severe conditions.
DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE G030D01O-AAT Adding Oil (2.4L) G030D01NF (3.3L) G030D02NF If the oil level is close to or below the "L" mark, add oil until it reaches the "F" mark. To add oil: 1. Remove the oil filler cap by turning it counter- clockwise.
Page 205
The engine oil and filter should be changed at those intervals specified in the maintenance schedule in Section 5. If the car is being driven in severe conditions, more frequent oil and filter changes are required. The procedure for changing the oil and filter is as follows: 1.
DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE 5. Remove the oil filter by turning it counter- clockwise with a oil filter wrench of the proper size. A certain amount of oil will come out when you remove the filter. So be sure to have your drain pan in place underneath it. 6.

Page 208
DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE HNF5008 2. Wrap a thick cloth around the radiator cap and slowly turn the radiator cap counter- clockwise without pressing down on it, until it stops. This relieves any pressure remain- ing in the cooling system. When you are sure that all the pressure has been released, remove the radiator cap by pushing down and turning counterclockwise.
When spark plugs are replaced, always use spark plugs recommended by Hyundai. The use of other spark plugs can result in loss of perfor- mance, radio interference or engine damage.
Page 210
NOTE: It is recommended that the spark plugs for 3.3L engines be changed by an authorized Hyundai dealer. 2. Using a clean cloth, remove any dirt that has accumulated around the base of the spark plug so it cannot fall into the cylinder when the spark plug is removed.
Page 211
G060C03NF 6. Remove the mounting bolt (3) of the ignition coil with a socket wrench. 7. Pull straight up on the ignition coil (4). G060C06NF WARNING: It is recommended that the engine be cool or cold when changing the spark plugs. If the engine is hot, you could burn yourself on the insulated connector, the spark plug or the engine itself.
1. Unsnap the clips around the cover. 2. When this is done, the cover can be lifted off, the old filter removed and the new filter put in its place.

This means that the engine, radiator, radiator hose, exhaust system etc., are very hot.
Because brakes are essential to the safe operation of the car, it is suggested that they be checked and inspected by your Hyundai dealer. The brakes should be checked and inspected for wear at those intervals specified in the vehicle mainte- nance schedule in Section 5.
2. If the air coming out of the in-dash vents is not cold, have the air conditioning system inspected by your Hyundai dealer. CAUTION: Running the air conditioning system for extended periods of time with a low refrig- erant level may damage the compressor.
