FUEL ECONOMY
The following suggestions are made to assist in
achieving the greatest degree of fuel economy.
o Maintaining a constant check on fuel con-
sumption will enable the most economical
use pattern and driving style to be adopted.
o Avoid using the vehicle for very short jour-
neys if possible, particularly when a cold
start is involved.
o Ensure that tyre pressures are maintained
at the correct level.
o Use only the recommended grade of fuel.
o Avoid carrying unnecessary weight, and if a
roof rack is in use, remove it as soon as
possible after use.
o Anticipate the road and conditions ahead to
enable adjustments in speed to be made
smoothly. Avoid heavy acceleration and
sharp braking.
o Avoid cruising at unnecessary high speeds.
o Always ensure that the periodic maintenance
services are performed by a Hyundai dealer
at the time and/or mileage intervals speci-
fied.
o Use the air conditioner only when neces-
sary.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION
The five speed fully synchronized transmission
is controlled by a floor mounted shift lever upon
which the shift pattern is indicated. It is impor-
tant that when changing gear, the clutch pedal
is fully depressed to avoid transmission dam-
age.
CAUTION:
o Do not attempt to engage reverse gear
when the car is in motion.
o To avoid damaging the selector mecha-
nism, do not use the gear shift lever as a
hand rest. Release the lever immediately
the shift is completed.
o To avoid premature clutch wear, do not
use the clutch pedal as a foot rest, and
do not hold the vehicle on a gradient
using the clutch.

STARTING AND STOPPING THE EN-
GINE FOR TURBO CHARGER INTER-
COOLER (Diesel Engine)
(1) Do not race the engine or sudden accelerate
the engine immediately after starting it. If the
engine is cold, allow the engine to idle for
several seconds before it is driven to ensure
sufficient lubrication of the turbo charger
unit.
(2) After high speed or extended driving, requir-
ing a heavy engine load, the engine should
be allowed to idle, as shown in the chart
below, before turning it off.
This idle time will allow the turbo charger to
cool prior to shutting the engine off.

WARNING:
Do not turn the engine off immediately after
it has been subjected to a heavy load. Doing
so may cause severe damage to the engine
or turbo charger unit.
