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
Braking system performance and fric-

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.

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.
