DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI CAUTION: o In sports mode, the driver must execute shifts in accordance with prevailing road conditions, taking care to keep the en- gine speed below the red zone. o For engine protection, upward shifts are made automatically when the engine rpm reaches the red zone.
Page 150
Instead, slow down before pulling back into the travel lanes. o Never exceed posted speed limits. DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI WARNING: If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow, mud, sand, etc., then you may attempt to rock the vehicle free by moving it forward and backward.
DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) C120A03A-AAT (If installed) The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed to prevent wheel lock-up during sudden braking or on hazardous road surfaces. The ABS con- trol module monitors the wheel speed and con- trols the pressure applied to each brake.

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 C310B01JM-AAT ESC ON/OFF Mode When the ESC is operating, the ESC indicator in the instrument cluster will blink.
(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 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 this happens, shift to a lower gear. Over-revving is racing the engine beyond its safe limit. This can be avoided by shifting at the recommended speeds.

CAUTION: o When towing the vehicle, take care not to cause damage to the bumper or under- body of the vehicle. HGK4016 o Do not tow with sling type truck as this may cause damage to the bumper or underbody of the vehicle. 1) If the vehicle is being towed with the rear wheels on the ground, be sure the parking brake is released.
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 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 solu- tion 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 abrasive cleaning powders as these may damage the finish.
Page 188
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.
