OWNER'S MANUAL A030A01A-AAT Operation Maintenance Specifications All information in the Owner's Manual is current at the time of publication. However, Hyundai reserves the right to make changes at any time as part of our policy of continual product improvement may be carried out. This manual applies to all Hyundai models and includes descriptions and expla- nations of optional as well as standard equipment. As a result, you may find material in this manual that does not apply to your specific vehicle. F1 A070A01A-AAT CAUTION: MODIFICATIONS TO YOUR HYUNDAI Your Hyundai should not be modified in any way. Such modifications may adversely affect the performance, safety or durability of your Hyundai and may, in addition, violate conditions of the limited warranties covering the vehicle. Certain modifications may also be in violation of regulations established by the U.S. Department of Transportation and other federal or state agencies. A080A01S-AAT TWO-WAY RADIO OR CELLULAR TELEPHONE INSTALLATION Your vehicle is equipped with electronic fuel injection and other electronic components. It is possible for an improperly installed/adjusted two-way radio or cellular telephone to adversely affect electronic systems. For this reason, we recommend that you carefully follow the radio manufacturer's instruc- tions or consult your Hyundai dealer for precautionary measures or special instructions if you choose to install one of these devices. F2 A090A01A-AAT SAFETY AND VEHICLE DAMAGE WARNING This manual includes information titled as WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE. These titles indicate the following: This indicates that a condition may result in harm, serious injury or death to you or other persons if the warning is not heeded. Follow the advice provided with the warning. WARNING: CAUTION: This indicates that a condition may result in damage to your vehicle or its equipment if the caution is not heeded. Follow the advice provided with the caution. NOTE: This indicates that interesting or helpful information is being provided. F3 A110A01A-AAT VEHICLE DATA COLLECTION AND EVENT DATA RECORDERS Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with many high technology, electronically controlled systems that help to ensure your vehicle operates properly and provides the performance that you expect. These systems utilize computers to monitor the operation of various systems and components and help to control their operation. These computerized system operations are wide-ranging and involve components to reduce emissions, to continuously evaluate the readiness of the airbag and seat belt pretensioner systems, to determine when the airbag and seat belt pre-tensioner systems should be deployed and then to activate the deployment, and if equipped, to operate anti-lock braking, traction control and electrical stability control to assist the driver to control the vehicle in difficult driving situations. These systems electronically store information that is useful to service technicians when they need to diagnose and repair these systems. Additional information is stored only when a crash occurs that results in the deployment of the airbags or seat belt pre-tensioners. This type of data storage is done by devices called event data recorders(EDR). After a crash event, the airbag and seat belt pre-tensioner computer system, known as the Supplemental Restraint System Control Module (SRSCM) or Airbag Control Unit (ACU), may record some information about the condition of the vehicle and how it was being operated. This information consists of data related to seat belt usage and if there was diagnostic information in the airbag or seat belt systems at the time that a crash occurred, and if the ACU sensed that a crash of sufficient severity occurred to require seat belt pre-tensioner or airbag deployment. To retrieve this information, special equipment is needed and access to the vehicle or the device that stores the data is required. Hyundai will not access information about a crash event or share it with others except: o in response to an official request of police or similar government office, or o with the consent of the vehicle owner or, if the vehicle is leased, with the consent of the lessee, or o as part of Hyundai’s defense of litigation, or o as required by law.

WARNING: o Do not "top off" after the nozzle au- tomatically shuts off when refueling. o Tighten the cap until it clicks, other- " light will illuminate. o Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to prevent fuel spillage in the event of an accident. wise the " B010D01A-AAT Do Not Use Methanol Fuels containing methanol (wood alco- hol) should not be used in your Hyundai. This type of fuel can reduce vehicle per- formance and damage components of the fuel system. CAUTION: Your Hyundai's New Vehicle Limited War- ranty may not cover damage to the fuel system and any performance problems that are caused by the use of fuels con- taining methanol or fuels containing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight.) B010B01A-AAT What About Gasohol? Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gasoline and 10% ethanol or grain alco- hol) may be used in your Hyundai. How- ever, if your engine develops driveability problems, the use of 100% unleaded gasoline is recommended. Fuels with unspecified quantities of alcohol, or alcohols other than ethanol, should not be used. B010C01A-AAT Use of MTBE Hyundai recommends that fuels contain- ing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) should not be used in your Hyundai. Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) may re- duce vehicle performance and produce vapor lock or hard starting. B010E01A-AAT Gasolines for Cleaner Air To help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai recommends that you use gasolines treated with detergent additives, which help prevent deposit formation in the engine. These gasolines will help the engine run cleaner and enhance perfor- mance of the Emission Control System. B010F01A-AAT Operation in Foreign Countries If you are going to drive your Hyundai in another country, be sure to: o Observe all regulations regarding reg- istration and insurance. o Determine that acceptable fuel is avail- able. FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI o Whether going fast or slow, vary your speed from time to time. o Don't let the engine idle longer than 3 minutes at one time. o Don't tow a trailer during the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) of operation. BREAKING IN YOUR NEW HYUNDAI B020A01S-AAT During the First 1200 Miles (2000 Km) No formal "break-in" procedure is required with your new Hyundai. However, you can contribute to the economical opera- tion and durability of your Hyundai by observing the following recommenda- tions during the first 1200 miles (2000 km). o Don't drive faster than 55 MPH (88 km/ h). o While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm, or revolutions per minute) be- tween 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm. o Use moderate acceleration. Don't start quickly or depress the accelerator pedal fully. o For the first 200 miles (300 km), try to avoid hard stops. o Don't lug the engine (in other words, don't drive so slowly in too high a gear that the engine "bucks"-shift to a lower gear). 1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI KEYS B030A01A-AAT B030B01NF-GAT Record Your Key Number OMC025001 For greater convenience, the same key operates all the locks in your Hyundai. However, because the doors can be locked without a key, carrying a spare key is recommended in case you accidentally lock one key inside the car. B030B01MC A code number is recorded on the num- ber tag that came with the keys to your Hyundai. This key number tag should not be left with the keys but kept in a safe place, not in the vehicle. The key number should also be recorded in a place where it can be found in an emergency. If you need additional keys, or if you should lose your keys, your authorized Hyundai dealer can make new keys if you can supply the key number. DOOR LOCKS B040A01A-AAT WARNING: o Unlocked doors can be dangerous. Before you drive away (especially if there are children in the car), be sure that all the doors are securely closed and locked so that the doors cannot be opened from the inside. This helps ensure that the doors will not be opened accidentally. Also, when com- bined with the proper use of seat belts, locking the doors helps keep occupants from being ejected from the car in case of an accident. o Before opening the door, always look for and avoid oncoming traffic.

The use of a cushion that holds the body away from the seatback is not rec- ommended. o Do not operate the vehicle with the headrests removed as severe injury to an occupant may occur in the event of an accident. Headrests may provide protection against severe neck injuries when properly adjusted. 1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 18 B110A01MC-AAT Folding Rear Seatbacks (4Door) The rear seatbacks may be folded to facilitate carrying long items or to increase the luggage capacity of the vehicle. To fold down the seatback : 1. Slide forward and upright the front seats before folding down. 2. Lower the headrests to the lowest position. WARNING: The purpose of the fold-down rear seatbacks is to allow you to carry longer objects than could otherwise be accom- modated. Never allow passengers to sit on top of the folded down seat back while the car is moving as this is not a proper seating position and no seat belts are available for use. This could result in serious in- jury or death in case of an accident or sudden stop. Objects carried on the folded down seatback should not extend higher than the top of the front seats. This could allow cargo to slide forward and cause injury or damage during sud- den stops. B110A01MC o Before folding the seatback, insert the buckle in the pocket. This can prevent the buckle from being dam- aged by seatback. CAUTION: B220D05MC o In order to prevent the center shoul- der belt from being damaged while folding the rear seat, disconnect the metal tab (A) from the buckle (B). To disconnect the metal tab (A) from the buckle (B) , insert a narrow-ended tool into the groove located on the buckle(B).

Do not allow the seat belt webbing or buckle to get caught or pinched in the rear seat. Ensure that the seatback is completely locked into its upright position by pushing on the top of the seatback. Otherwise, in an accident or sudden stop, the seat could fold down and allow cargo to enter the passenger compartment, which could result in se- rious injury or death. B080G01MC-AAT Folding Rear Seatback and Seat Cushion (3 Door) For greater convenience, the entire seatback may be folded down and the seat cushion may be folded up. To fold seatback down and seat cushion up : 1. Slide the front seats forward and place the seatbacks upright before folding the rear seatback and cushion. WARNING: The purpose of the fold-down rear seat back and the fold-up rear seat cushion is to allow you to carry more objects than could be accommodated. Do not allow passengers to sit on the cargo area while the car is moving. This is not a proper seating position and no seat belts are available for use when the seat back is folded down. This could result in seri- ous injury or death in case of an accident or a sudden stop. Objects should not extend higher than the top of the front seatbacks. This could allow cargo to slide forward and cause injury or dam- age during sudden stops. CAUTION: B220D05MC o In order to prevent the center shoul- der belt from being damaged while folding the rear seat, disconnect the metal tab (A) from the buckle (B). To disconnect the metal tab (A) from the buckle (B) , insert a narrow-ended tool into the groove located on the buckle(B). B080G01MC o Before folding the seatback, insert the buckle in the pocket.

B140A01MC For the safety of all passengers, luggage or other cargo should not be piled higher than the top of the seatback. In addition, do not place objects on the rear shelf as they may move forward during braking or in an accident and strike vehicle passen- gers. SEAT BELTS B150A02S-AAT SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS WARNING: All occupants of the vehicle must wear their seat belts at all times. Seat belts and child restraints reduce the risk of serious or fatal injuries for all occupants in the event of a collision or sudden stop. Without a seat belt, occupants could be shifted too close to a deploying airbag, strike the interior structure or be thrown from the vehicle. Properly worn seat belts greatly reduce these hazards. Even with advanced airbags, unbelted occu- pants can be severely injured by a de- ploying airbag. Always follow the pre- cautions about seat belts, airbags and occupant safety contained in this manual. B150B03A-AAT Infant or Small Child All 50 states have child restraint laws. You should be aware of the specific re- quirements in your state. Child and/or infant safety seats must be properly placed and installed in the rear seat. Information about the use of these restraints begins on page 1-31. WARNING: Every person in your vehicle needs to be properly restrained at all times, includ- ing infants and children. Never hold a child in your arms or lap when riding in a vehicle. The violent forces created dur- ing a crash will tear the child from your arms and throw the child against the interior. Always use a child restraint appropriate for your child's height and weight, see page 1-31. NOTE: Small children are best protected from injury in an accident when properly re- strained in the rear seat by a child re- straint system that meets the require- ments of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Before buying any child restraint system, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213. The re- straint must be appropriate for your child's height and weight. Check the la- bel on the child restraint for this informa- tion. See page 1-31. FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 23 23 B150C02A-AAT Larger Children Children who are too large for child re- straint systems should always occupy the rear seat and use the available lap/ shoulder belts. The lap portion should be fastened snug on the hips and as low as possible. Check belt fit periodically. A child's squirming could put the belt out of position. Children are afforded the most safety in the event of an accident when they are restrained by a proper restraint system in the rear seat. If a larger child (over age 13) must be seated in the front seat, the child should be securely re- strained by the available lap/shoulder belt and the seat should be placed in the rearmost position. Children under the age of 13 should be restrained securely in the rear seat. NEVER place a child under the age of 13 in the front seat. NEVER place a rear facing child seat in the front seat of a vehicle. 1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 24 B150D01A-AAT Pregnant Women The use of a seat belt is recommended for pregnant women to lessen the chance of injury in an accident. When a seat belt is used, the lap belt portion should be placed as low and snugly as possible on the hips, not across the abdomen. For specific recommendations, consult a phy- sician. B150E01A-AAT Injured Person A seat belt should be used when an injured person is being transported. When this is necessary, you should consult a physician for recommendations. B150F01A-AAT One Person Per Belt Two people (including children) should never attempt to use a single seat belt. This could increase the severity of inju- ries in case of an accident. B150G02A-AAT Do Not Lie Down To reduce the chance of injuries in the event of an accident and to achieve maxi- mum effectiveness of the restraint sys- tem, all passengers should be sitting up and the front seats should be in an up- right position when the car is moving. A seat belt cannot provide proper protec- tion if the person is lying down in the rear seat or if the front seat is in a reclined position. WARNING: Riding with a reclined seatback in- creases your chance of serious or fatal injuries in the event of a collision or sudden stop. The protection of your restraint system (seat belts and airbags) is greatly reduced by reclining your seat. Seat belts must be snug against your hips and chest to work properly. The more the seatback is reclined, the greater the chance that an occupant's hips will slide under the lap belt causing serious internal injuries or the occupant's neck could strike the shoulder belt. Drivers and passengers should always sit well back in their seats, properly belted (see page 1-26), and with the seatbacks up- right. B160A02A-AAT CARE OF SEAT BELTS Seat belt systems should never be disas- sembled or modified. In addition, care should be taken to assure that seat belts and belt hardware are not damaged by seat hinges, doors or other abuse. B160B01A-AAT Periodic Inspection It is recommended that all seat belts be inspected periodically for wear or dam- age of any kind. Parts of the system that are damaged should be replaced as soon as possible. FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 25 25 B170A02MC-AAT HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE FRONT SEAT SHOULDER BELT WARNING: When you return the rear seatback to its upright position after the rear seatback was folded down, be careful not to dam- age the seat belt webbing or buckle. Be sure that the webbing or buckle does not get caught or pinched in the rear seat. A seat belt with damaged webbing or buckle will not be as strong and could possibly fail during a collision or sudden stop, resulting in serious injury. B160C01A-AAT Keep Belts Clean and Dry Seat belts should be kept clean and dry. If belts become dirty, they can be cleaned by using a mild soap solution and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong detergents or abrasives should not be used because they may damage and weaken the fabric. B160D01A-AAT When to Replace Seat Belts Entire in-use seat belt assemblies should be replaced if the vehicle has been in- volved in an accident. This should be done even if no damage is visible. Addi- tional questions concerning seat belt operation should be directed to your Hyundai Dealer. B170A01MC You can adjust the height of the shoulder belt anchor to one of the 4 positions for maximum comfort and safety. If the height of the adjusting seat belt is too near your neck, you will not be getting the most effective protection. The shoul- der portion should be adjusted so that it lies across your chest and midway over your shoulder nearest the door and not your neck. To adjust the height of the seat belt anchor, lower or raise the height adjuster into an appropriate position. To raise the height adjuster, pull it up. 1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 26 To lower it, push it down while pressing the height adjuster button. Release the button to lock the anchor into position. Try sliding the height adjuster to make sure that it has locked into the position. o If the shoulder belt anchor is not moved, grasp the shoulder part of the belt and pull forward to the full. B180A01MC-AAT SEAT BELT-Driver's 3-Point System with Emergency Locking Retractor To Fasten Your Belt CAUTION: o Adjust the shoulder belt height when you sit well back in the seat. OMC025042-1 o When adjusting the shoulder belt height, grip the height adjuster but- ton securely and slide the height adjuster up or down. ! WARNING: o Verify the shoulder belt anchor is locked into position at the appropri- ate height. Never position the shoul- der belt across your neck or face. Improperly positioned seat belts can cause serious injuries in an acci- dent. o Failure to replace seat belts after an accident could leave you with dam- aged seat belts that will not provide protection in the event of another collision leading to personal injury or death. Replace your seat belts after being in an accident as soon as pos- sible. B180A01NF To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the retractor and insert the metal tab into the buckle. There will be an audible "click" when the tab locks into the buckle. The seat belt automatically adjusts to the proper length only after the lap belt is adjusted manually so that it fits snugly around your hips. If you lean forward in a slow, easy motion, the belt will extend and let you move around. If there is a sudden stop or impact, however, the belt will lock into position. It will also lock if you try to lean forward too quickly. NOTE: If the seat belt is not fastened when the ignition key is turned from the "OFF" position to the "ON" position, the seat belt warning will activate to remind the driver to fasten the seat belt as follows. B265E01MC-AAT Seat Belt Warning Light and Chime The driver's seat belt warning light and chime will activate to the following table when the ignition switch is in "ON" posi- tion.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 27 27 B190A03A-AAT SEAT BELTS-Front Passenger and Rear Seat 3-Point System with Com- bination Locking Retractor : To Fasten Your Belt Combination retractor type seat belts are installed in the rear seat outboard and center positions to help accommodate the installation of child restraint systems. Hyundai strongly recommends that chil- dren always be seated in the rear seat. NEVER place any infant restraint system in the front seat of the vehicle. This type of seat belt combines the fea- tures of both an emergency locking re- tractor seat belt and an automatic locking retractor seat belt. To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the retractor and insert the metal tab into the buckle. There will be an audible "click" when the tab locks into the buckle. When not securing a child restraint, the seat belt operates in the same way as the driver's seat belt (Emer- gency Locking Retractor Type). It auto- matically adjusts to the proper length only after the lap belt portion of the seat belt is adjusted manually so that it fits snugly around your hips. 1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 28 When the seat belt is fully extended from the retractor to allow the installation of a child restraint system, the seat belt opera- tion changes to allow the belt to retract, but not to extend (Automatic Locking Retractor Type). See page 1-38. NOTE: Although the combination retractor pro- vides the same level of protection for seated passengers in either emergency or automatic locking modes, it is recom- mended that seated passengers use the emergency locking feature for improved convenience. The automatic locking function is intended to facilitate child restraint installation. To convert from the automatic locking feature to the emergency locking operation mode, al- low the unbuckled seat belt to fully re- tract. ! WARNING: o For maximum restraint system pro- tection, seat belts must always be used whenever the car is moving. o Seat belts are most effective when seatbacks are in the upright posi- tion. ! WARNING: o Children age 12 and younger must always be properly restrained in the rear seat. Never allow children to ride in the front passenger seat. If a child over 13 must be seated in the front seat, he/she must be properly belted and the seat should be moved as far back as possible. o Never wear the shoulder belt under your arm or behind your back. An improperly positioned shoulder belt can cause serious injuries in a crash. The shoulder belt should be posi- tioned midway over your shoulder across your collarbone. o Avoid wearing twisted seat belts. A twisted belt can't do its job as well. In a collision, it could even cut into you. Be sure the belt webbing is straight and not twisted. o Be careful not to damage the belt webbing or hardware. If the belt web- bing or hardware is damaged, re- place it. B200A01A-AAT Adjusting Your Seat Belt B200A01NF WARNING: You should place the lap belt portion as low as possible and snugly across your hips, not on your waist. If the lap belt is located too high on your waist, it may increase the chance of injury in the event of a collision. Both arms should not be under or over the belt. Rather, one should be over and the other under, as shown in the illustration. Never wear the seat belt under the arm nearest the door.

There will be an audible "click" when the tab locks in the buckle. The seat belt automatically adjusts to the proper length only after the lap belt is adjusted manu- ally so that it fits snugly around your hips. If you lean forward in a slow, easy motion, the belt will extend and let you move around. If there is a sudden stop or im- pact, the belt will lock into position. It will also lock if you try to lean forward too quickly. ! WARNING: o Never let anyone ride in the rear center seat without fastening all metal tabs and buckles as described in this section. This seat belt is designed to function as a typical 3- point restraint (lap/shoulder belt). Using only the shoulder portion or lap portion of the belt can result in serious or fatal injuries in the event of a collision or sudden stop. o Never unlock the metal tab (A) and the buckle (B) with the following ex- ceptions. (1) In case of folding rear seatbacks down. (2) If transporting an object on the rear seat may cause damage to the rear seat center belt. B220C02A-GAT To Release the Seat Belt When you want to release the seat belt, press the button in the locking buckle. B210A01NF WARNING: When fastening the outboard seat belts or the center seat belt, make sure they are inserted into the correct buckles to obtain maximum protection from the seat belt system and assure proper opera- tion. FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM 31 31 B230A04A-AAT Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always be properly restrained to minimize the risk of injury in an accident, sudden stop or sudden maneuver. According to accident statis- tics provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), children are safer when properly re- strained in the rear seats than in the front seat. Larger children not in a child re- straint should use one of the seat belts provided. All 50 states have child restraint laws. You should be aware of the specific re- quirements in your state. Child and/or infant safety seats must be properly placed and installed in the rear seat. You must use a commercially available child re- straint system that meets the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan- dards (FMVSS). Child restraint systems are designed to be secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt, or by a ISOFIX system (If Installed). Children could be injured or killed in a crash if their restraints are not properly secured. B220D05MC To disconnect the metal tab (A) from the buckle (B), insert a narrow-ended tool into the groove located on the buckle (B). WARNING: Always lock metal tab (A) into buckle (B) immediately after returning the rear seatbacks to an upright position. This portion of the rear center seat belt should only be unbuckled when the rear seatback is folded down. 1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 32 For small children and babies, a child seat or infant seat must be used. Before buying a particular child restraint system, make sure it fits your car seat and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all the instructions provided by the manufacturer when installing the child restraint system. WARNING: o A child restraint system must be placed in the rear seat. Never install a child or infant seat on the front passenger's seat. Should an accident occur and cause the passenger side airbag to deploy, it could severely injure or kill an infant or child seated in an infant or child seat. Thus, only use a child restraint in the rear seat of your vehicle. o Since a safety belt or child restraint system can become very hot if it is left in a closed vehicle, be sure to check the seat cover and buckles before placing a child there. WARNING: o When the child restraint system is not in use, store it in the trunk or fasten it with a safety belt so that it will not be thrown forward in case of a sudden stop or an accident. o Children may be seriously injured or killed by an inflating airbag. All chil- dren, even those too large for child restraints, must ride in the rear seat. To reduce the chance or serious or fatal injuries: o Children of all ages are safer when restrained in the rear seat. A child riding in the front passenger seat can be forcefully struck by an inflat- ing airbag resulting in serious or fa- tal injuries. o Always follow the instructions for installation and use of the child re- straint maker. o Always make sure the child seat is secured properly in the car and your child is securely restrained in the child seat. WARNING: o Never hold a child in your arms or lap when riding in a vehicle. The violent forces created during a crash will tear the child from your arms and throw the child against the car’s inte- rior. o Never put a seat belt over yourself and a child. During a crash, the belt could press deep into the child caus- ing serious internal injuries. o Never leave children unattended in a vehicle – not even for a short time. The car can heat up very quickly, resulting in serious injuries to chil- dren inside. Even very young chil- dren may inadvertently cause the vehicle to move, entangle them- selves in the windows, or lock them- selves or others inside the vehicle. o Never allow two children, or any two persons, to use the same seat belt. o Children often squirm and reposition themselves improperly. Never let a child ride with the shoulder belt un- der their arm or behind their back. Always properly position and secure children in rear seat. ! WARNING: o Never allow a child to stand-up or kneel on the seat or floorboard of a moving vehicle. During a collision or sudden stop, the child can be vio- lently thrown against the vehicles interior, resulting in serious injury. o Never use an infant carrier or a child safety seat that "hooks" over a seatback, it may not provide ad- equate security in an accident. o Seat belts can become very hot, es- pecially when the car is parked in direct sunlight. Always check seat belt buckles before fastening them over a child.
