WARRANTIES FOR YOUR HYUNDAI VEHICLE

Please consult your Owner's Handbook & Warranty Information booklet for your vehicle's spe- cific warranty coverage.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR MAINTENANCE

The maintenance requirements for your new Hyundai are found in Section 7. As the owner, it is your responsibility to see that all maintenance operations specified by the manufacturer are carried out at the appropriate intervals. When the vehicle is used in severe driving conditions, more frequent main- tenance is required for some operations. Maintenance requirements for severe operating conditions are also included in Section 7.

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.

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.

FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS

B010A05A-AAT

Use Unleaded Gasoline

UNLEADED FUEL ONLY

B010A01JM Unleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane Rating of 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher must be used in your Hyundai.

WARNING:

o Do not "top off" after the nozzle auto-

matically shuts off when refueling.

o Tighten the cap until it clicks, other-

wise the "

" light will illuminate.

o Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to prevent fuel spill- age in the event of an accident.

B010B01A-AAT

What About Gasohol? Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gaso- line and 10% ethanol or grain alcohol) may be used in your Hyundai. However, if your engine develops driveability prob- lems, 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.

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 perfor- mance 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.)

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 en- gine. These gasolines will help the engine run cleaner and enhance performance 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

KEYS

B030A01A-AAT

BREAKING IN YOUR NEW HYUNDAI

B020A01S-AAT

During the First 1,200 Miles (2,000
Km) No formal "break-in" procedure is required with your new Hyundai. However, you can contribute to the economical operation and durability of your Hyundai by observ- ing the following recommendations dur- ing the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km).

B030A01HR 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.

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).

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.

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 occu- pants from being ejected from the car in case of an accident.

o Before opening the door, always look

for and avoid oncoming traffic.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

SEATS

B080A02A-AAT

ADJUSTABLE FRONT SEATS

! WARNING:

o Never adjust the driver’s seat while the vehicle is moving. Any sudden or unexpected movement of the seat could cause you to lose control of the vehicle resulting in an accident. Only adjust the driver’s seat when the ve- hicle is stationary.

o Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to the airbag. Position the seat so that you can sit as far back as possible from the airbag and still comfortably reach all controls.

B080B03A-AAT

Adjusting Seat Forward and Rear- ward

WARNING:

After adjusting the seat, always check that it is securely locked into place by attempting to move the seat forward or reverse without using the lock release lever. Sudden or unexpected move- ment of the driver's seat could cause you to lose control of the vehicle result- ing in an accident.

B080C03A-AAT

Adjusting Seatback Angle

OJM019001
To move the seat toward the front or rear, pull the lock release lever upward. This will release the seat on its track so you can move it forward or rearward to the desired position. When you find the position you want, release the lever and slide the seat forward or rearward on its track until it locks into the desired position and cannot be moved further.

OJM019002

To recline the seatback, lean forward to take your weight off it, then pull up on the recliner control lever at the outside edge of the seat.

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 14

Now lean back until the desired seatback angle is achieved. To lock the seatback into position, release the recliner control lever.

! 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 or the occupant's neck will strike the shoulder belt. Driv- ers and passengers should always sit well back in their seats, properly belted, and with the seatbacks upright.

B080D02JM-AAT

Adjustable Headrests

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.

B150B04Y-AAT

Infant or Small Child All 50 states have child restraint laws. You should be aware of the specific require- ments 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 1-26.

! 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 1-26.

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 Fed- eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213. The restraint must be appropriate for your child's height and weight. Check the label on the child restraint for this information. See page 1-26.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

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/shoul- der belts. The lap portion should be fas- tened 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.

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 rec- ommendations, consult a physician.

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 20

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 injuries 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 system, all passengers should be sitting up and the front seats should be in an upright position when the car is moving. A seat belt cannot provide proper protection 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 1-22), 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.

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.

B160B01A-AAT

Periodic Inspection It is recommended that all seat belts be inspected periodically for wear or damage of any kind. Parts of the system that are damaged should be replaced as soon as possible.

! WARNING:

o Verify the shoulder belt anchor is locked into position at the appropriate height. Never position the shoulder belt across your neck or face. Im- properly positioned seat belts can cause serious injuries in an accident. 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.

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 wa- ter. Bleach, dye, strong detergents or abra- sives should not be used because they may damage and weaken the fabric.

B160D01A-AAT

When to Replace Seat Belts Entire in-use seat belt assembly or assem- blies should be replaced if the vehicle has been involved in an accident. This should be done even if no damage is visible. Additional questions concerning seat belt operation should be directed to your Hyundai Dealer.

SEAT BELT-Driver's 3-Point System with Emergency Locking Retractor To Fasten Your Belt

NOTE: o If you are not able to pull out the safety belt from the retractor, firmly pull the belt out and release it. Then you will be able to pull the belt out smoothly.

o If the driver's seat belt is not fastened when the ignition key is in the "ON" position, the seat belt warning light will flash and the warning chime will sound for approximately six seconds.

B180A01L 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 portion 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.

B190A02Y-AAT

SEAT BELTS-Front Passenger and Rear Seat 3-Point System with Com- bination Locking Retractor Combination retractor type seat belts are installed in the rear seat positions to help accommodate the installation of child re- straint systems. Although a combination retractor is also installed in the front passen- ger seat position, Hyundai strongly recom- mends that children 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 retrac- tor 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 (Emergency Locking Retractor Type). It automatically adjusts to the proper length only after the lap belt portion of the seat belt is adjusted manu- ally so that it fits snugly around your hips. 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 Retrac- tor Type). See page 1-30.

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, the seat belts must always be used whenever the car is moving.

o Seat belts are most effective when seatbacks are in the upright position. 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.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM

B230A05O-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 ma- neuver. According to accident statistics provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats than in the front seat. Larger children not in a child restraint should use one of the seat belts provided. All 50 states have child restraint laws. You should be aware of the specific require- ments 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 restraint sys- tem that meets the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). Child restraint systems are de- signed 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. 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 A safety belt or child restraint system can become very hot if it is left in a closed vehicle on a sunny day, even if the outside temperature does not feel hot. Be sure to check the seat cover and buckles before placing a child there.

o When the child restraint system is not in use, store it in the luggage compart- ment or fasten it with a safety belt so that it will not be thrown forward in the 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.

WARNING:

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 inflating airbag resulting in serious or fatal injuries.

o Always follow the instructions for in- stallation and use of the child restraint maker.

o Always make sure the child seat is secured properly in the car and your child is securely restrained in the child seat.

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 interior.

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.

!

WARNING:

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 themselves in the windows, or lock themselves 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 under their arm or behind their back. Al- ways properly position and secure children in rear seat.

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 violently 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 adequate security in an accident.

Securing the Child Restraint Seat with the Child Seat Lower Anchor system

B230D01JM

Some child seat manufacturers make safety seats that are labeled as LATCH or LATCH- compatible child seats.

LATCH stands for "Lower anchors and Tethers for Children". These seats include two rigid or webbing mounted attachments that connect to two LATCH anchors at specific seating posi- tions in your vehicle. This type of child seat eliminates the need to use seat belts to attach the child seat for forward-facing child seats. LATCH anchors have been provided in your vehicle. The LATCH anchors are lo- cated in the left and right outboard rear seating positions. Their locations are shown in the illustration. There is no LATCH anchor provided for the center rear seating position.

! WARNING:

o A child can be seriously injured or killed in a collision if the child restraint is not properly anchored. Always follow the child seat manufacturer’s instructions for installation and use. o Never install a child restraint using the LATCH anchors at the center po- sition of the rear seat. In a crash, the LATCH anchors may break if a car seat is improperly placed in the cen- ter position resulting in serious or fatal injuries.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

WARNING:

Only place a LATCH or LATCH-com- patible child seat in the left or right out- board rear seating positions (as shown) to the appropriate LATCH anchors provided.

o Never mount more than one child re- straint to a single tether or to a single lower anchorage point. The increased load caused by multiple seats may cause the tethers or anchorage points to break, causing serious injury or death.

o When using the vehicle’s “LATCH” system to install a child restraint sys- tem in the rear seat, all unused ve- hicle rear seat belt metal latch plates or tabs must be latched securely in their seat belt buckles and the seat belt webbing must be retracted be- hind the child restraint to prevent the child from reaching and taking hold of unretracted seat belts. Unlatched metal latch plates or tabs may allow the child to reach the unretracted seat belts which may result in strangula- tion and a serious injury or death to the child in the child restraint.
