OVERDRIVE SWITCH

is turned "ON", the transaxle functions
as a  fully  automatic four  speed unit
with the  maximum fuel economy po-
tential of the vehicle being realized.
o  Use only genuine Hyundai replace-
ment brake pads and shoes to en-
sure consistent friction characteris-
tics and wear rates.
o  After  driving  through  deep  water
(e.g. fording),  the brakes may  be-
comewetandperformancereduced.
Always check brake efficiency after
emergingfromthewateranddrythe
brakes  by  lightly  depressing   the
brake  pedal  several  times  whilst
driving slowly.

EFFECTIVE BRAKING

the driving style adopted. The follow-
ing suggestions are made to assist in
achieving  the  best  results from  the
braking system.
o  Apply the parking brake only when
the vehicle is at rest.
HTB217-D
The  overdrive  switch   prevents  the
transaxle upshifting higher  than third
gear when the switch is turned "OFF".
The transaxle will start from rest in first
gear and upshift  to second and  third
gear depending upon  the roadspeed
and throttle opening but will not upshift
to  fourth  gear.  When  the overdrive
switch is  turned  "ON", the  transaxle
will start from rest in first gear and will
upshift,  depending  upon  roadspeed
and throttle  opening to second,  third
and fourth gear. Therefore, when the
overdrive switch is turned  "OFF", the
transaxle performs  as a three speed
unit  and the  overdrive  warning light
o  Since  the  power  assistance  pro-
vided by the brake servo is derived
from the engine,  coasting with the
engine turned  off or  towing of the
vehicle with  the engine  turned off
will result in greatly increased pedal
pressuresbeingrequiredtostopthe
vehicle.
o  Do not hold the vehicle on an incline
with the accelerator pedal. This can
causethetransmissiontooverheat.
Always use the brake pedal or park-
ingbrake.
o  Anticipate the road  and conditions
ahead in order  that heavy braking
may be avoided.
o  When  descending long  gradients,
use the engine to assist in retarding
the vehicle to minimize the possibil-
ity of brake fade occurring.
o  When trailer towing, ensure that the
trailer brakes function correctly and
use  engine  braking  to assist  the
vehicle braking system.
