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.

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 electronic 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
UNLEADED
FUEL ONLY
B010A01MC-A
B010A02MC-AAT
Use Unleaded Gasoline
Unleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane
Rating of 87 (Research Octane Number
91) or higher must be used in your
Hyundai.
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.
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.)
!
WARNING:
o Do not "top off" after the nozzle au-
tomatically 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
spillage in the event of an accident.

BREAKING IN YOUR NEW
HYUNDAI
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.
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.
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).
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.

Record Your Key Number
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.

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.
KEYS
B030A01A-AAT
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.

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.

Folding Rear Seatbacks
The rear seatbacks may be folded to
facilitate carrying long items or to increase
the luggage capacity of the vehicle.
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 seatback or cargo area
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 injury or death in case of an
accident or sudden stop. Objects car-
ried 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 sudden stops.

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.
!
WARNING:
When you return the rear seatback to its
upright position after being folded down:
Be careful not to damage the seat belt
webbing or buckle. 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.

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 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 1-31.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
*1) Warning pattern repeats 11 times with
an interval of 24 seconds. If the driver's
seat belt is buckled, the light will stop

Adjusting Your Seat Belt
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.
B200A01NF
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.
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.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
B230A05A-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 LATCH system (If Installed).
Children could be injured or killed in a
crash if their restraints are not properly
secured.

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 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:
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.
!
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.

moving vehicle. During a collision or
sudden stop, the child can be vio-
lently thrown against the vehicle's
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.
o Always store or secure a child seat,
even when it is not in use. During a
collision or sudden stop, the child
seat could be thrown inside the ve-
hicle.

Securing the Child Restraint Seat
with the "Child Seat Lower Anchor"
system
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 positions in your vehicle.
This type of child seat eliminates the
need to use seat belts to attach the child
seat in the rear seats.
LATCH anchors have been provided in
your vehicle. The LATCH anchors are
located in the left and right outboard rear
seating positions.

vehicle rear seat belt metal latch
plates or tabs must be latched se-
curely in their seat belt buckles and
the seat belt webbing must be re-
tracted behind 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 strangulation and a serious
injury or death to the child in the child
restraint.
WARNING:
WARNING:
o A child can be seriously injured or
killed in a collision if the child re-
straint is not properly anchored.
Always follow the child seat
manufacturer’s instructions for in-
stallation and use.
o Never install a child restraint using
the LATCH lower anchors at the cen-
ter position of the rear seat. In a
crash, the LATCH lower anchors may
break if a car seat is improperly
placed in the center position result-
ing in serious or fatal injuries. Only
place a LATCH or LATCH-compat-
ible 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
restraint to a single tether or to a
single lower anchorage point. The
increased load caused by multiple

WARNING:
o If the retractor is not in the Auto-
matic Locking mode, the child re-
straint can move when your vehicle
turns or stops suddenly. A child can
be seriously injured or killed if the
child restraint is not properly an-
chored to the car, including setting
the retractor to the Automatic Lock-
ing mode.
o Do not install any child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger 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. Therefore, only use a child
restraint system in the rear seat of
your vehicle.
o Before installing a Child Restraint
System to vehicles fitted with Curtain
Airbags, always refer to safety no-
tices for Curtain Airbag systems in
this manual. Whenever installing child
restraints, use only approved devices
and refer to the "Child Restraint Sys-
tem" section to ensure correct instal-
lation and that occupant protection is
maximized.
If the retractor is in the automatic locking
mode, the belt will be locked. After instal-
lation of the child restraint system, try to
move it in all directions to be sure the
child restraint system is securely installed.
If you need to tighten the belt, pull more
webbing toward the retractor. When you
unbuckle the seat belt and allow it to
retract, the retractor will automatically
revert back to its normal seated passen-
ger emergency locking usage condition.
NOTE:
o Before installing the child restraint
system, read the instructions sup-
plied by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate as
described, have the system checked
immediately by your authorized
Hyundai dealer.
To install a child restraint system in the
outboard rear seats, extend the shoulder/
lap belt entirely from its retractor until a
"click" is felt. This will engage the seat belt
retractor automatic locking feature, which
allows the seat belt to retract but not
extend. Install the child restraint system,
buckle the seat belt and allow the seat
belt to take up any slack. Make sure that
the lap portion of the belt is tight around
the child restraint system and the shoul-
der portion of the belt is positioned so that
it cannot interfere with the child's head or
neck. Also, double check to be sure that
the retractor has engaged the automatic
locking feature by trying to extend web-
bing out of the retractor.

WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to op-
erate only one time. After activation,
pre-tensioner seat belts must be
replaced. All seat belts, of any type,
should always be replaced after they
have been worn during a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assem-
bly mechanisms become hot during
activation. Do not touch the pre-
tensioner seat belt assemblies for
several minutes after they have been
activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or replace
the pre-tensioner seat belts your-
self. This must be done by an autho-
rized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies.
o Do not attempt to service or repair
the pre-tensioner seat belt system in
any manner.
o Improper handling of the pre-
tensioner seat belt assemblies, and
failure to heed the warnings to not
strike, modify, inspect, replace, ser-
vice or repair the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies may lead to improp-
er operation or inadvertent activa-
tion and serious injury.
o Always wear the seat belts when
driving or riding in a motor vehicle.
WARNING:
CAUTION:
o The sensor that activates the SRS
airbag is connected with the pre-
tensioner seat belt. The SRS airbag
warning light on the instrument
panel will illuminate for approximately
6 seconds after the ignition key has
been turned to the "ON" position,
and then it should turn off.
o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not
working properly, this warning light
will illuminate even if there is no mal-
function of the SRS airbag.
!
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts
are activated, a loud noise may be
heard and fine dust, which may ap-
pear to be smoke, may be visible in
the passenger compartment. These
are normal operating conditions and
are not hazardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine dust
may cause skin irritation and should
not be breathed for prolonged peri-
ods. Wash your hands and face thor-
oughly after an accident in which the
pre-tensioner seat belts were acti-
vated.
If the SRS airbag warning light does
not illuminate when the ignition key
is turned to the "ON" position, re-
mains illuminated after approxi-
mately 6 seconds when the ignition
key is turned to the "ON" position, or
if it illuminates while the vehicle is

The purpose of the SRS is to provide the
vehicle's driver and/or the front passen-
ger with additional protection than that
offered by the seat belt system alone in
case of a frontal impact of sufficient sever-
ity. The SRS uses sensors to gather infor-
mation about the driver's and front
passenger's seat position, the driver's and
front passenger's seat belt usage and
impact severity.
The driver's and front passenger's seat
track position sensors, which are installed
on the seat track, determine if the seats
are fore or aft of a reference position. The
seat belt buckle sensors determine if the
driver and front passenger's seat belts
are fastened. These sensors provide the
ability to control the SRS deployment
based on how close the driver's seat is to
the steering wheel, how close the
passenger's seat is to the instrument
panel, whether or not the seat belts are
fastened, and how severe the impact is.
The advanced SRS offers the ability to
control the airbag inflation with two lev-
els. A first stage level is provided for
moderate-severity impacts. A second
stage level is provided for more severe
impacts.
According to the impact severity, seating
position and seat belt usage, the
SRSCM(SRS Control Module) controls
the airbag inflation. Failure to properly
wear seat belts can increase the risk or
severity of injury in an accident.
Additionally, your Hyundai is equipped
with an occupant classification system in
the front passenger's seat. The occupant
classification system detects the pres-
ence of a passenger in the front
passenger's seat and will turn off the front
passenger's airbag under certain condi-
tions. For more detail, see "Occupant Clas-
sification System" later in this section.

WARNING:
o Modification to the seat structure
can adversely affect the seat track
position sensor and cause the airbag
to deploy at a different level than
should be provided.
o Do not place any objects underneath
the front seats as they could dam-
age the seat track position sensor or
interfere with the occupant classifi-
cation system.
o Do not place any objects that may
cause magnetic fields near the front
seat. These may cause a malfunc-
tion of the seat track position sen-
sor.
NOTE:
o Be sure to read information about
the SRS on the labels provided on
the topside of the sun visor.
o Advanced airbags are combined with
pre-tensioner seat belts to help pro-
vide enhanced occupant protection
in frontal crashes. Front airbags are
not intended to deploy in collisions in
which sufficient protection can be
provided by the pre-tensioner seat
belt.

WARNING:
o Move your seat as far back as prac-
tical from the front airbags, while still
maintaining control of the vehicle.
o Never sit or lean unnecessarily close
to the front or side airbags.
o Never lean against the door or cen-
ter console – always sit in an upright
position.
o Do not allow an adult passenger to
ride in the front seat when the “Pas-
senger Airbag OFF” indicator is illu-
minated, because the airbag will not
deploy in the event of a moderate or
severe frontal crash.
o Never place objects over or near
any airbag module (front or side im-
pact airbags), because these objects
can injure passengers in a crash.
o Never place covers, blankets or
aftermarket seat warmers on the
passenger seat as these may inter-
fere with the occupant classification
system.
!
WARNING:
Always use seat belts and child restraints
– every trip, every time, everyone!
Airbags inflate with considerable force
and in the blink of an eye. Seat belts help
keep occupants in proper position to
obtain maximum benefit from the airbag.
Even with advanced airbags, improp-
erly and unbelted occupants can be se-
verely injured when the airbag inflates.
Always follow the precautions about seat
belts, airbags and occupant safety con-
tained in this manual.
To reduce the chance of serious or fatal
injuries and receive the maximum safety
benefit from your restraint system:
o Never place a child in any child or
booster seat in the front seat (see
child restraints 1-31).
o ABC – Always Buckle Children in the
back seat. It is the safest place for
children of any age to ride.
o Front and side impact airbags can
injure occupants improperly posi-
tioned in the front seats.
!
WARNING:
o Do not tamper or disconnect SRS
wiring or other components. Injuries
could result from inadvertent deploy-
ment or failure of the airbag to de-
ploy in a crash.
o If the SRS airbag warning light (see
pg 1-64) remains illuminated while
the vehicle is being driven, have an
authorized Hyundai dealer inspect
the airbag system as soon as pos-
sible.
o Airbags can only be used once –
have an authorized Hyundai dealer
replace the airbag immediately after
deployment.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the
front airbags only when an impact is
sufficiently severe and when the im-
pact angle is within a range as mea-
sured from the forward longitudinal
axis of the vehicle. The front airbags
will not deploy in side, rear or rollover
impacts. Additionally, the airbags will
only deploy once. Seat belts must be
worn at all times.

could cause harm if the vehicle is in
a crash severe enough to cause the
airbags to deploy.
o If the airbags deploy, they must be
replaced by an authorized Hyundai
dealer. Deployed airbags WILL NOT
inflate again and will provide no pro-
tection in subsequent collisions.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect
SRS wiring or other components of
the SRS system. Doing so could
result in injury, due to accidental
deployment of the airbags or by ren-
dering the SRS inoperative.
o Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the occupant classification sys-
tem, do not install a child restraint
system in the front passenger seat
position. A child restraint system
must never be placed in the front
seat.
An infant or child could be severely
injured or killed by an airbag deploy-
ment in case of an accident.
o Children younger than 13 years 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 or she must be prop-
erly belted and the seat should be
moved as far back as possible.
o For maximum safety protection in all
types of crashes, all occupants in-
cluding the driver should always wear
their seat belts whether or not an
airbag is also provided at their seat-
ing position to minimize the risk of
severe injury or death in the event of
a crash. Do not sit or lean unneces-
sarily close to the airbag while the

Upon deployment, tear seams molded
directly into the pad covers will separate
under pressure from the expansion of the
airbags. Further opening of the covers
then allows full inflation of the airbags.
The airbag modules are located both in

a properly worn seat belt, slows the driver's
or the passenger's forward motion, re-
ducing the risk of head and chest injury.
After complete inflation, the airbag imme-
diately starts deflating, enabling the driver
to maintain forward visibility and the abil-
ity to steer or operate other controls.

o When installing a container of liquid
air freshener inside the vehicle, do
not place it near the instrument clus-
ter nor on the instrument panel sur-
face. If there is any leakage from the
air freshener onto these areas (in-
strument cluster, instrument panel
or air ventilator), it may damage these
parts. If the liquid from the air fresh-
ener does leak onto these areas,
wash them with water immediately.
WARNING:
o If an airbag deploys, there may be a
loud noise followed by a fine dust
released in the vehicle. These con-
ditions are normal and are not haz-
ardous - the airbags are packed in
this fine powder. The dust generated
during airbag deployment may cause
skin or eye irritation as well as ag-
gravate asthma for some persons.
Always wash all exposed skin areas
thoroughly with lukewarm water and
a mild soap after an accident in which
the airbags were deployed.
o The SRS can function only when the
ignition key is in the "ON" position. If
the SRS "AIR BAG" warning light
does not illuminate, or continuously
remains on after illuminating for
about 6 seconds when the ignition
key is turned to the "ON" position, or
after the engine is started, comes on
while driving, the SRS is not working
properly. If this occurs, have your
vehicle immediately inspected by
your Hyundai dealer.
Passenger's Front Airbag
CAUTION:
o Do not install or place any accesso-
ries (drink holder, cassette holder,
sticker, etc.) on the front passenger's
panel above the glove box in a ve-
hicle with a passenger's airbag. Such
objects may become dangerous pro-
jectiles and cause injury if the
passenger's airbag inflates.

o Before you replace a fuse or discon-
nect a battery terminal, turn the igni-
tion key to the "LOCK" position and
remove the ignition key. Never re-
move or replace the airbag related
fuse(s) when the ignition key is in the
"ON" position. Failure to heed this
warning will cause the SRS "AIR
BAG" warning light to illuminate.
WARNING:
If the front passenger seat is occupied by
a person that the system determines to be
of adult size, and he/she sits properly
(sitting upright with the seatback in an
upright position, centered on the seat
cushion with their seat belt on, legs com-
fortably extended and their feet on the
floor), the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator will be turned off and the front
passenger's airbag will be able to inflate,
if necessary, in frontal crashes.
You will find the "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicator on the center facia panel.
The following table summarizes the func-
tioning of the system depending on the
front passenger seat occupant.

OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYS-
TEM
Your vehicle is equipped with an occu-
pant classification system in the front
passenger's seat. The Occupant Classi-
fication system is designed to detect the
presence of a properly-seated front pas-
senger and determine if the passenger's
front airbag should be enabled (may in-
flate) or not. The driver's front airbag is
not affected or controlled by the Occu-
pant Classification System.
Main components of occupant clas-
sification system
o A detection device located within the
front passenger seat cushion.
o Electronic system to determine whether
passenger airbag systems (both front
and side) should be activated or deac-
tivated.
o A warning light located on the instru-
ment panel which illuminates the words
"PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicat-
ing the front passenger airbag system
is deactivated.
o The instrument panel airbag warning
light is interconnected with the occu-
pant classification system.

When an adult is seated in the front
passenger seat, if the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator is on, turn the ignition
key to "LOCK" and ask the passenger to
sit properly (sitting upright with the seat
back in an upright position, centered on
the seat cushion with their seat belt on,
legs comfortably extended and their feet
on the floor). Restart the engine and have
the person remain in that position for
about 30 seconds.
This will allow the system to detect the
person and to enable the passenger
airbag. If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicator is still on, turn the ignition
key to "LOCK" and ask the passenger to
sit properly and restart the engine again.
If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indi-
cator is still on, ask the passenger to
move to the rear seat.
Proper seating position
B990A01O
*1) The system judges a person of adult
size as an adult. When a smaller adult
sits in the front passenger seat, the
system may recognize him/her as a
child depending on his/her physique
and posture.
*2) Do not allow children to ride in the
front passenger seat. When a larger
child who has outgrown a child re-
straint system sits in the front passen-
ger seat, the system may recognize
him/her as an adult depending on his/
her physique or posture, or objects in
the lap of the child.
*3) Never install a child restraint system
on the front passenger seat.

WARNING:
o A smaller-stature adult who is not
seated correctly (for example: seat
excessively reclined, leaning on the
center console, or hips shifted for-
ward in the seat) can cause a condi-
tion where the advanced frontal
airbag system senses less weight
than if the occupant were seated
properly (sitting upright with the
seatback in an upright position, cen-
tered on the seat cushion with their
seat belt on, legs comfortably ex-
tended and their feet on the floor).
This condition can result in an adult
potentially being misclassified and
illumination of the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator.
B990A05O
- NEVER place feet on the dash-
board.
WARNING:
o Do not allow an adult passenger to
ride in the front seat when the “PAS-
SENGER AIR BAG OFF” indicator is
illuminated, because the airbag will
not deploy in the event of a crash. If
the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator remains illuminated after
the passenger repositions them-
selves properly and the car is re-
started, Hyundai recommends that
passenger move to the rear seat
because the passenger's front
airbag will not deploy.
o The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator will not change according
to the occupants posture after the
vehicle has been running for 30 sec-
onds. Front seat passengers must
stay properly seated to avoid seri-
ous injury from a deploying airbag.

WARNING:
If the occupant classification system is
not working properly, the SRS airbag
warning light on the instrument panel
will illuminate because the passenger's
front airbags are connected with the
occupant classification system. If there
is a malfunction of the occupant classi-
fication system, the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator will not illuminate
and the passenger's front airbags will
inflate in frontal impact crashes even if
there is no occupant in the front
passenger's seat. If the SRS airbag
warning light does not illuminate when
the ignition key is turned to the "ON"
position, remains illuminated after ap-
proximately 6 seconds when the ignition
key is turned to the "ON" position, or if it
illuminates while the vehicle is being
driven, have an authorized Hyundai
dealer inspect the occupant classifica-
tion system and the SRS airbag system
as soon as possible.
NOTE:
The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indi-
cator illuminates for about 4 seconds
after the ignition key is turned to the
"ON" position or after the engine is
started. If the front passenger seat is
occupied, the occupant classification
sensor will then classify the front pas-
senger within approximately 10 seconds
after the ignition is turned on.
!
WARNING:
o Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the occupation classification
system, never install a child restraint
system in the front passenger's seat.
A deploying airbag can forcefully
strike a child resulting in serious
injuries or death. Any child under 13
years of age should ride in the rear
seat. Children too large for child
restraints should use the available
lap/shoulder belts. No matter what
type of crash, children of all ages are
safer when restrained in the rear
seat.
o If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator is illuminated when the front
passenger's seat is occupied by an
adult and he/she sits properly (sit-
ting upright with the seatback in an
upright position, centered on the seat
cushion with their seat belt on, legs
comfortably extended and their feet
on the floor), have that person sit in
the rear seat.

Side Impact Airbag
Your Hyundai is equipped with a side
impact airbag in each front seat. The
purpose of the airbag is to provide the
vehicle's driver and/or the front passen-
ger with additional protection than that
offered by the seat belt alone. The side
impact airbags are designed to deploy
only during certain side-impact collisions,
depending on the crash severity, angle,
speed and point of impact. The side im-
pact airbags are not designed to deploy
in all side impact situations.
B990B02LZ
!
WARNING:
o If you change the weight on the front
passenger seat just after sit-in or
restart of the engine, the "PASSEN-
GER AIR BAG OFF" indicator may be
turned on or off for a few seconds,
disabling or enabling the passenger
airbags. After the initial stage of about
30 seconds, the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator will not toggle.
o Do not modify or replace the front
passenger seat. Don't place anything
on or attach anything such as a blan-
ket or after market seat heater to the
front passenger seat. This can ad-
versely affect the occupant classifi-
cation system.
o Do not sit on sharp objects such as
tools when occupying the front pas-
senger seat. This can adversely af-
fect the occupant classification sys-
tem.
o Do not use accessory seat covers
on the front seats.
!
WARNING:
o Accident statistics show that chil-
dren are safer if they are restrained
in the rear, as opposed to the front
seat. It is recommended that child
restraints be secured in a rear seat,
including an infant riding in a rear-
facing infant seat, a child riding in a
forward-facing child seat and an older
child riding in a booster seat.
o Airbags can only be used once –
have an authorized Hyundai dealer
replace the airbag immediately after
deployment.

WARNING:
o The side impact airbag is supple-
mental to the driver's and the
passenger's seat belt systems and
is not a substitute for them. There-
fore your seat belts must be worn at
all times while the vehicle is in mo-
tion. The airbags deploy only in cer-
tain side impact conditions severe
enough to cause significant injury to
the vehicle occupants.
o For best protection from the side
impact airbag system and to avoid
being injured by the deploying side
impact airbag, both front seat occu-
pants should sit in an upright posi-
tion with the seat belt properly fas-
tened. The driver's hands should be
placed on the steering wheel at the
9:00 and 3:00 positions. The
passenger's arms and hands should
be placed on their laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat cov-
ers.
Use of seat covers could reduce or
prevent the effectiveness of the sys-
tem.

Important Safety Notes on the Side
Impact Airbag System
Following are a number of safety points
concerning this system which should al-
ways be observed to ensure risk of injury
is reduced in an accident.
!
o Do not install any accessories on the
side or near the side impact airbag.
o Do not place any objects over the
airbag or between the airbag and
yourself.
o Do not place any objects (an um-
brella, bag, etc.) between the front
door and the front seat. Such objects
may become dangerous projectiles
and cause injury if the supplemental
side impact airbag inflates.
o To prevent unexpected deployment
of the side impact airbag that may
result in personal injury, avoid im-
pact to the side impact sensor when
the ignition key is on.

WARNING:
o The space between the occupant and
the curtain airbag must never be
occupied by children, passengers or
pets. Occupants should never lean
out or have any parts of their body
protruding from the window while the
engine is running.
o Do not move the sun visor out to
cover the side window if there is an
item attached to it such as a garage
door remote control, pens, air fresh-
eners or the like. These objects could
cause injury if the Curtain Airbag is
deployed.
o Do not install sun blinds to the rear
doors, these must not obstruct or
impair the airbag in any way.
o Do not install any accessories or
children’s toys in the Curtain Airbag
deployment zones, as this may im-
pair the operation of the system or
throw parts of them into the vehicle
cabin causing injury to occupants if
the system is deployed.
B990C01JM-GAT
Curtain Airbag
Curtain airbags are located along both
sides of the roof rails above the front and
rear doors. They are designed to help
protect the heads of the front seat occu-
pants and the rear outboard seat occu-
pants in certain side impact collisions.
The curtain airbags are designed to de-
ploy only during certain side impact col-
lisions, depending on the crash severity,
angle, speed and impact. The curtain
airbags are not designed to deploy in all
side impact situations, collisions from the
front or rear of the vehicle or in most
rollover situations.

!
WARNING:
o Before installing child restraints ,
always refer to “Child Restraint Sys-
tem” section to ensure correct in-
stallation and that occupant protec-
tion is maximized.
o Make sure that the occupant does
not have any body parts (head, arms
& legs) protruding outside the re-
straining system. An inflating airbag
that strikes an infant or child could
cause serious injury.
o Ensure the opening for the Curtain
Airbag System remains unob-
structed at all times, so that the
airbags can inflate properly if needed.

SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free
and so there are no parts you can safely
service by yourself. If the SRS "AIR BAG"
warning light does not illuminate, or con-
tinuously remains on, have your vehicle
immediately inspected by your Hyundai
dealer.
Any work on the SRS system, such as
removing, installing, repairing, or any work
on the steering wheel must be performed
by a qualified Hyundai technician. Im-
proper handling of the SRS system may
result in serious personal injury.
HSM393
!
WARNING:
o To maintain the integrity of the Cur-
tain Airbag system, any work, re-
moval or installation of the airbag
and associated components (such
as roof lining and side trims) should
only be performed by an authorized
Hyundai dealer.
WARNING:
o Do not install a child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger seat po-
sition.
A child restraint system must never
be placed in the front seat. The infant
or child could be severely injured by
an airbag deployment in case of an
accident.
o Modification to SRS components or
wiring, including the addition of any
kind of badges to the pad covers or
modifications to the body structure,
can adversely affect SRS perfor-
mance and lead to possible injury.
o For cleaning the airbag pad covers,
use only a soft, dry cloth or one
which has been moistened with plain
water. Solvents or cleaners could
adversely affect the airbag covers
and proper deployment of the sys-
tem.

Additional Safety Precautions
o Never let passengers ride in the
cargo area (trunk) or on top of a
folded-down back seat. All occupants
should sit upright, fully back in their
seats with their seat belts on and their
feet on the floor.
o Passengers should not move out of
or change seats while the vehicle is
moving. A passenger who is not wear-
ing a seat belt during a crash or emer-
gency stop can be thrown against the
inside of the vehicle, against other
occupants, or out of the vehicle.
o Each seat belt is designed to re-
strain one occupant. If more than one
person uses the same seat belt, they
could be seriously injured or killed in
a collision.
o Do not use any accessories on seat
belts. Devices claiming to improve oc-
cupant comfort or reposition the seat
belt can reduce the protection pro-
vided by the seat belt and increase the
chance of serious injury in a crash.
o Passengers should not place hard or
sharp objects between themselves
and the airbags. Carrying hard or
sharp objects on your lap or in your
mouth can result in injuries if an airbag
inflates.
!
WARNING:
o No objects should be placed over or
near the airbag modules on the steer-
ing wheel, instrument panel, and the
front passenger's panel above the
glove box, because any such object
could cause harm if the vehicle is in
a crash severe enough to cause the
airbags to inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be
replaced by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect
SRS wiring, or other components of
the SRS system. Doing so could re-
sult in injury, due to accidental infla-
tion of the airbags or by rendering
the SRS inoperative.
o If components of the airbag system
must be discarded, or if the vehicle
must be scrapped, certain safety
precautions must be observed. Your
Hyundai dealer knows these precau-
tions and can give you the neces-
sary information. Failure to follow
these precautions and procedures
could increase the risk of personal
injury.
!
WARNING:
o If your car was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or there is water
on the floor, do not start the engine;
have the car towed to an authorized
Hyundai dealer.

WARNING:
o Sitting improperly or out of position
can cause occupants to be shifted
too close to a deploying airbag, strike
the interior structure or be thrown
from the vehicle resulting in serious
injury or death.
o Always sit upright with the seatback
in an upright position, centered on
the seat cushion with your seat belt
on, legs comfortably extended and
your feet on the floor.
o Keep occupants away from the airbag
covers. All occupants should sit up-
right, fully back in their seats with their
seat belts on and their feet on the floor.
If occupants are too close to the airbag
covers, they could be injured if the
airbags inflate.
o Do not attach or place objects on or
near the airbag covers. Any object
attached to or placed on the front or
side impact airbag covers could inter-
fere with the proper operation of the
airbags.
o Do not modify the front seats. Modi-
fication of the front seats could inter-
fere with the operation of the supple-
mental restraint system sensing com-
ponents or side impact airbags.
o Do not place items under the front
seats. Placing items under the front
seats could interfere with the opera-
tion of the supplemental restraint sys-
tem sensing components and wiring
harnesses.
o Never hold an infant or child on your
lap. The infant or child could be seri-
ously injured or killed in the event of a
crash. All infants and children should
be properly restrained in appropriate
child safety seats or seat belts in the
rear seat.
Adding Equipment to or Modifying
Your Airbag-Equipped Vehicle.
If you modify your vehicle by changing
your vehicle's frame, bumper system, front
end or side sheet metal or ride height, this
may adversely affect the operation of your
vehicle's airbag system.

Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-di-
agonal braking systems. This means you
still have braking on two wheels even if
one of the dual systems should fail. With
only one of the dual systems working,
more than normal pedal travel and greater
pedal pressure are required to stop the
car. Also, the car will not stop in as short
a distance with only a portion of the brake
system working. If the brakes fail while
you are driving, shift to a lower gear for
additional engine braking and stop the
car as soon as it is safe to do so.

WARNING:
If you must re-enter the vehicle,
you should once again eliminate
potentially dangerous static elec-
tricity discharge by touching a
metal part of the vehicle, away
from the fuel filler neck, nozzle or
other gasoline source.
- When using a portable fuel con-
tainer be sure to place the con-
tainer on the ground prior to refu-
eling. Static electricity discharge
from the container can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire. Once refu-
eling has begun, contact with the
vehicle should be maintained until
the filling is complete. Use only
portable fuel containers designed
to carry and store gasoline.
- Do not use cellular phones around
a gas station or while refueling any
vehicle. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cellu-
lar phones can potentially ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire. If you
must use your cellular phone use
it in a place away from the gas
station.
!
WARNING:
o Gasoline vapors are dangerous.
Before refueling, always stop the
engine and never smoke or allow
sparks and open flames near the
filler area.
o Never operate your vehicle without a
filler cap properly installed, flam-
mable vapors and gasoline could
leak out in dangerous situations such
as a collision or rollover. If the filler
cap must be replaced, only use genu-
ine Hyundai replacement parts.
o After refueling, make sure the fuel
cap is installed securely to prevent
fuel spillage in the event of an acci-
dent.
o Tighten the cap until it clicks, other-
wise the "
"light will illuminate.
o If you open the fuel filler cap during
high ambient temperatures, a slight
"pressure sound" may be heard.
This is normal and not a cause for
concern. Whenever you open the fuel
filler cap, turn it slowly.
o Do not "top off" after the nozzle au-
tomatically shuts off when refueling.
o Automotive fuels are flammable/ex-
plosive materials. When refueling,
please note the following guidelines
carefully. Failure to follow these
guidelines may result in severe per-
sonal injury, severe burns or death
by fire or explosion.
- Before refueling always note the
location of the Emergency Gaso-
line Shut-Off, if available, at the
gas station facility.
- Before touching the fuel nozzle or
fuel filler cap, you should eliminate
potentially dangerous static elec-
tricity discharge by touching an-
other metal part of the front of the
vehicle, a safe distance away from
the fuel filler neck, nozzle, or other
gas source.
- Do not get back into a vehicle once
you have begun refueling. Do not
touch, rub or slide against any item
or fabric (polyester, satin, nylon,
etc.) capable of producing static
electricity. Static electricity dis-
charge can ignite fuel vapors re-
sulting in explosion.
!
WARNING:

WARNING:
- When refueling always shut the
engine off. Sparks produced by
electrical components related to
the engine can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Always insure that
the engine is OFF before and dur-
ing refueling. Once refueling is
complete, check to make sure the
fuel filler cap and door are se-
curely closed, before starting the
engine.
- Do not light any fire around a gas
station. DO NOT use matches or a
lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or
leave a lit cigarette in your vehicle
while at a gas station especially
during refueling. Automotive fuel
is highly flammable and can, when
ignited, result in explosion by
flames.
- If a fire breaks out during refueling,
leave the vicinity of the vehicle,
and immediately contact the man-
ager of the gas station or contact
the police and local fire depart-
ment. Follow any safety instruc-
tions they provide.

B740D01A-AAT
Operation Tips
o If the interior of the car is hot when you
first get in, open the windows for a few
minutes to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air condition-
ing system, keep all windows closed to
keep hot air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy traf-
fic, shift to a lower gear.
This increases engine speed, which in
turn increases the speed of the air
conditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air condi-
tioning off to avoid the possibility of the
engine overheating.
o During winter months or in periods
when the air conditioning is not used
regularly, run the air conditioning once
every month for a few minutes.
This will help circulate the lubricants
and keep your system in peak operat-
ing condition.
For dehumidified heating:
o Turn on the fan control switch.
o Push the air conditioning switch. The
air conditioning indicator light should
come on at the same time.
o Set the air intake control switch to the
fresh air (
) position.
o Adjust the fan control to the desired
speed.
o For more rapid action, set the fan at
one of the higher speeds.
o Adjust the temperature control to pro-
vide the desired amount of warmth.

STEREO SOUND SYSTEM
FM broadcasts are transmitted at high
frequencies and do not bend to follow the
earth's surface. Because of this, FM broad-
casts generally begin to fade at short
distances from the station. Also, FM sig-
nals are easily affected by buildings,
mountains, or other obstructions. These
can result in certain listening conditions
which might lead you to believe a prob-
lem exists with your radio. The following
conditions are normal and do not indicate
radio trouble:
AM broadcasts can be received at greater
distances than FM broadcasts. This is
because AM radio waves are transmitted
at low frequencies. These long, low fre-
quency radio waves can follow the curva-
ture of the earth rather than travelling
straight out into the atmosphere. In addi-
tion, they curve around obstructions so
that they can provide better signal cover-
age.
B750A02A-AAT
How Car Audio Works
AM and FM radio signals are broadcast
from transmitter towers located around
your city. They are intercepted by the
radio antenna on your car. This signal is
then received by the radio and sent to
your car speakers.
When a strong radio signal has reached
your vehicle, the precise engineering of
your audio system ensures the best pos-
sible quality reproduction. However, in
some cases the signal coming to your
vehicle may not be strong and clear.
This can be due to factors such as the
distance from the radio station, close-
ness of other strong radio stations or the
presence of buildings, bridges or other
large obstructions in the area.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

o Station Swapping - As an FM signal
weakens, another more powerful sig-
nal near the same frequency may be-
gin to play. This is because your radio
is designed to lock onto the clearest
signal. If this occurs, select another
station with a stronger signal.
o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio sig-
nals being received from several di-
rections can cause distortion or flutter-
ing. This can be caused by a direct and
reflected signal from the same station,
or by signals from two stations with
close frequencies. If this occurs, select
another station until the condition has
passed.
o Fading - As your car moves away from
the radio station, the signal will
weaken and sound will begin to fade.
When this occurs, we suggest that you
select another stronger station.
o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or
large obstructions between the trans-
mitter and your radio can disturb the
signal causing static or fluttering noises
to occur. Reducing the treble level
may lessen this effect until the distur-
bance clears.

Using a cellular phone or a two-way
radio
When a cellular phone is used inside the
vehicle, noise may be produced from the
audio equipment. This does not mean
that something is wrong with the audio
equipment. In such a case, use the cellu-
lar phone at a place as far as possible
from the audio equipment.
WARNING:
Hyundai recommends that you never
use a cell phone while driving. This could
result in loss of control, and an accident
that may cause death, serious injury, or
property damage. You must stop at a
safe place to use a cellular phone.
NOTE:
Some states and cities have regulations
prohibiting the use of cell phones while
driving. You should be aware of the spe-
cific requirements in your area.

CARE OF DISCS
Storage
When not in use, place your discs in their
individual cases and store them in a cool
place away from the sun, heat, and dust.
Do not grip or pull out the disc with your
hand while the disc is being pulled into
the unit by the self loading mechanism.
Keep Your Discs Clean
B850A02F-AAT
Proper Handling
Handle your disc as shown. Do not drop
the disc. Hold the disc so you will not
leave fingerprints on the surface. If the
surface is scratched, it may cause the
pickup to skip signal tracks. Do not affix
tape, paper, or gummed labels on the
disc. Do not write on the disc.
Damaged Disc
Do not attempt to play damaged, warped
or cracked discs. These could severely
damage the playback mechanism.
Fingerprints, dust, or soil on the surface of
a disc could cause the pickup to skip
signal tracks. Wipe the surface clean with
a clean soft cloth.
If the surface is heavily soiled, dampen a
clean soft cloth in a solution of mild neu-
tral detergent to wipe it clean.

CAUTION:
o Before entering an automatic car
wash, remove by turning the antenna
counterclockwise to prevent dam-
age to the micro antenna. To install

WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
C010A03A-AAT
Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open the
windows immediately.
o Do not inhale exhaust fumes.
Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by
asphyxiation.
o Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.
The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If you hear
a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the car, have the exhaust
system checked as soon as possible by your Hyundai dealer.
o Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.
Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the engine in your
garage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out.
o Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car.
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an open area
with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior.
If you must drive with the trunk lid/ tail gate open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary:
1. Close all windows.
2. Open side vents.
3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the windshield
are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.

NOTE:
o To shift into reverse, rest the lever
in neutral for at least 3 seconds after
your car is completely stopped. Then
move the lever into the reverse po-
sition.
o During cold weather, shifting may be
difficult until the transaxle lubricant
has warmed up. This is normal and
not harmful to the transaxle.
o If you've come to a complete stop
and it's hard to shift into 1

OPERATING THE MANUAL
TRANSAXLE
C070A01MC-GAT
Your Hyundai's manual transaxle has
five forward gears and one reverse gear.
This shift pattern is also imprinted on the
shift knob. The transaxle is fully synchro-
nized in all forward gears so shifting to
either a higher or a lower gear is easily
accomplished.
When shifting into reverse gear, pull the
mis-shift prevention tab and shift into re-
verse gear position.
OMC035013
4. Turn the ignition key to the "Start" po-
sition and release it when the engine
starts.
After the engine has started, allow the
engine to run for 10 to 20 seconds
prior to placing the vehicle in gear.
The starter should not be operated for
more than 15 seconds at a time. Wait
15-30 seconds between starting at-
tempts to protect the starter from over-
heating.
WARNING:
Always fully depress the brake pedal
before and while shifting out of the "P"
Park position into another position to
avoid inadvertent motion of the vehicle
which could injure persons in or around
the car.

CAUTION:
o Do not downshift more than 2 gears
or downshift the gear when the en-
gine is running at high speed (5,000
RPM or higher). Such downshifting
may damage the engine.
o When downshifting from fifth gear to
fourth gear, caution should be taken
not to inadvertently press the gear
shift lever sideways in such a man-
ner that second gear is engaged.
Such a drastic downshift may cause
the engine speed to increase to the
point that the tachometer will enter
the red zone. Such over revving of
the engine may possibly cause en-
gine damage.
The shift points as shown above are
recommended for optimum fuel economy
and performance.

o Exercise extreme caution when driv-
ing on a slippery surface. Be espe-
cially careful when braking, accelerat-
ing or shifting gears. On a slippery
surface, an abrupt change in vehicle
speed can cause the drive wheels to
lose traction and the vehicle to go out
of control.
WARNING:
o Always buckle-up! In a collision, an
unbelted occupant is significantly
more likely to be seriously injured or
killed than a properly belted occu-
pant.
o Avoid high speeds when cornering
or turning.
o Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
o The risk of rollover is greatly in-
creased if you lose control of your
vehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or
more wheels drop off the roadway
and the driver oversteers to reenter
the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the
roadway, do not steer sharply. In-
stead, slow down before pulling back
into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed limits.
C070D03O-AAT
Good Driving Practices
o Never take the car out of gear and
coast down a hill. This is extremely
hazardous. Always leave the car in
gear.
o Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause
them to overheat and malfunction. In-
stead, when you are driving down a
long hill, slow down and shift to a lower
gear. When you do this, engine brak-
ing will help slow the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. This will help avoid over-revving
the engine, which can cause damage.
o Slow down when you encounter cross
winds. This gives you much better
control of your car.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped
before you attempt to shift into reverse.
The transaxle can be damaged if you
do not. To shift into reverse, depress
the clutch, move the shift lever to neu-
tral, wait three seconds, then shift to
the reverse position.

C090H01A-AAT
NOTE:
o For smooth and safe operation, de-
press the brake pedal when shifting
from "Neutral" position or "Park"
position to a forward or reverse gear.
o The ignition key must be in the "ON"
position and the brake pedal fully
depressed in order to move the shift
lever from the "P" (Park) position to
any of the other positions.
o It is always possible to shift from
"R", "N", "D", "2", "L" position to "P"
position.
C090G01A-AAT
o L (Low gear):
Use for driving up a very steep grade or
for engine braking when descending
steep hills. When downshifting to "L", the
transaxle will temporarily remain in sec-
ond gear until the vehicle has slowed
enough for low gear to engage. Do not
exceed 31 mph (50 km/h) in low gear.
C090F01A-AAT
o 2 (Second gear):
Use for driving on a slippery road, hill
climbing or engine braking downhill. "2"
automatically shifts between first and
second gears.
This means that no shift-up to 3rd gear is
performed. However, the shift-up to third
gear is done when the car speed ex-
ceeds a certain value to prevent the en-
gine from over-revving.
Manually move the selector to "D" return-
ing to normal driving condition.
C090C01A-AAT
o R(Reverse):
Use for backing up the vehicle. Bring the
car to a complete stop before shifting the
selector lever to "R" position.
C090D02A-AAT
o N (Neutral):
In the "N" position, the transaxle is in
neutral position, which means that no
gears are engaged. The engine can be
started with the shift lever in "N" position,
although this is not recommended except
if the engine stalls while the car is mov-
ing.
C090E02A-AAT
o D (Drive):
Use for normal driving. Bring the car to a
complete stop before shifting the selector
to "D" position. The transaxle will auto-
matically shift through a four-gear se-
quence. Never downshift manually to "2"
position or "L" position when vehicle
speed is more than 60 mph (96 km/h).

o Do not accelerate the engine in re-
verse or any of the forward positions
with the brakes applied.
o Always apply the footbrake when
shifting from "P" or "N", to "R", "D",
"2" or "L" position.
o Do not use the "P" (Park) position in
place of the parking brake. Always
set the parking brake, shift the
transaxle into "P" (Park) position and
turn off the ignition when you leave
the vehicle, even momentarily. Never
leave the vehicle unattended while
the engine is running.
o When accelerating from a stop on a
steep hill, the vehicle may have a
tendency to roll backwards. Shifting
the shift lever into 2nd gear will help
prevent the vehicle from rolling back-
wards.
!
o Check the automatic transaxle fluid
level regularly, and add fluid as nec-
essary.
o See the maintenance schedule for
the proper fluid recommendation.
C090P01A-AAT
Overdrive Switch
When the overdrive switch is turned on,
the transaxle will automatically upshift to
the second, third and overdrive gears.
When the overdrive switch is turned off,
the transaxle will not upshift to the over-
drive gear. For normal driving, the selec-
tor lever should be left in the "D" position
and the overdrive switch turned on.
If you need to accelerate rapidly, press
the accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor. The transaxle will automatically shift
to a lower gear, depending on the vehicle
speed and load.

coast down a hill. This may be ex-
tremely hazardous. Always leave the
car in gear when moving.
o Do not "ride" the brakes. This can
cause them to overheat and malfunc-
tion. Instead, when you are driving
down a long hill, slow down and shift
to a lower gear. When you do this,
engine braking will help slow the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower

o If your vehicle becomes stuck in
snow, mud, sand, etc., then you may
attempt to rock the vehicle free by
moving it forward and backward. Do
not attempt this procedure if people
or objects are anywhere near the
vehicle. During the rocking opera-
tion the vehicle may suddenly move
forward of backward as it becomes
unstuck, causing injury to nearby
people or damage to objects.
WARNING:
!
WARNING:
ABS will not prevent accidents due to
improper or dangerous driving maneu-
vers. Even though vehicle control is
improved during emergency braking,
always maintain a safe distance be-
tween you and objects ahead. Vehicle
speeds should always be reduced dur-
ing extreme road conditions.
The braking distance for cars equipped
with an anti-lock braking system may
be longer than for those without it in the
following road conditions.
During these conditions the veicle
should be driven at reduced speeds.
o Rough, gravel or snow-covered
roads.
o With tire chains installed.
o On roads where the road surface is
pitted or has different surface height.
These roads should be driven at re-
duced speeds. The safety features of
an ABS equipped vehicle should not be
tested by high speed driving or corner-
ing. This could endanger the safety of
yourself or others.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYS-
TEM
C120A01MC-AAT
(If Installed)
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is
designed to prevent wheel lock-up dur-
ing sudden braking or on hazardous road
surfaces. The ABS control module moni-
tors the wheel speed and controls the
pressure applied to each brake. Thus, in
emergency situations or on slick roads,
ABS will increase vehicle control during
braking.
NOTE:
o A click sound may be heard in the
engine compartment when the ve-
hicle begins to move after the engine
is started. These conditions are nor-
mal and indicate that the anti-lock
brake system is functioning prop-
erly.
o During ABS operation, a slight pulsa-
tion may be felt in the brake pedal
when the brakes are applied. Also, a
noise may be heard in the engine
compartment while braking. These
conditions are normal and indicate
that the anti-lock brake system is
functioning properly.

o After being parked, check to be sure
the parking brake is not engaged and
that the parking brake indicator light is
out before driving away.
o Driving through water may get the
brakes wet. They can also get wet
when the car is washed. Wet brakes
can be dangerous! Your car will not
stop as quickly if the brakes are wet.
Wet brakes may cause the car to pull
to one side. To dry the brakes, apply
the brakes lightly until the braking ac-
tion returns to normal, taking care to
keep the car under control at all times.
If the braking action does not return to
normal, stop as soon as it is safe to do
so and call your Hyundai dealer for
assistance.
o Don't coast down hills with the car out
of gear. This is extremely hazardous.
Keep the car in gear at all times, use
the brakes to slow down, then shift to
a lower gear so that engine braking
will help you maintain a safe speed.
o Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Resting
your foot on the brake pedal while
driving can be dangerous because it
can result in the brakes overheating
and losing their effectiveness. It also
increases the wear of the brake com-
ponents.
o If a tire goes flat while you are driving,
apply the brakes gently and keep the
car pointed straight ahead while you
slow down. When you are moving
slowly enough for it to be safe to do so,
pull off the road and stop in a safe
place.
o If your car is equipped with an auto-
matic transaxle, don't let your car creep
forward. To avoid creeping forward,
keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal
when the car is stopped.
o Use caution when parking on a hill.
Firmly engage the parking brake and
place the gear selector lever in "P"
(automatic transaxle) or in first or re-
verse gear (manual transaxle). If your
car is facing downhill, turn the front
wheels into the curb to help keep the
car from rolling. If your car is facing
uphill, turn the front wheels away from
the curb to help keep the car from
rolling. If there is no curb or if it is
required by other conditions to keep
the car from rolling, block the wheels.
GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES
!
C130A02A-AAT
WARNING:
o Whenever leaving vehicle or park-
ing, always set the parking brake as
far as possible and fully engage the
vehicle's transaxle into the park po-
sition. Vehicles not fully engaged in
park with the parking brake set are
at risk for moving inadvertently and
injuring yourself or others.
o All vehicles should always have the
parking brake fully engaged when
parking to avoid inadvertent move-
ment of the car which can injure
occupants or pedestrians.
o Nothing should be carried on top of
the shelf panel behind the rear seat.
If there were an accident or a sudden
stop, such objects could move for-
ward and cause damage to the ve-
hicle or injure the occupants.

DRIVING FOR ECONOMY
C140A02A-AAT
You can save fuel and get more miles
from your car if you follow these sugges-
tions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a mod-
erate rate. Don't make "jack-rabbit"
starts or full-throttle shifts and maintain
a steady cruising speed. Don't race
between stoplights. Try to adjust your
speed to that of the other traffic so you
don't have to change speeds unnec-
essarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever
possible. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from other vehicles so you can
avoid unnecessary braking. This also
reduces brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster
you drive, the more fuel your car uses.
Driving at a moderate speed, espe-
cially on the highway, is one of the
most effective ways to reduce fuel con-
sumption.
o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal.
This can increase fuel consumption
and also increase wear on these com-
ponents. In addition, driving with your
foot resting on the brake pedal may
cause the brakes to overheat, which
reduces their effectiveness and may
lead to more serious consequences.
o Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged posi-
tion. This is most likely to happen when
there is an accumulation of snow or ice
around or near the rear brakes or if the
brakes are wet. If there is a risk that the
parking brake may freeze, apply it only
temporarily while you put the gear
selector lever in "P" (automatic) or in
first or reverse gear (manual transaxle)
and block the rear wheels so the car
cannot roll. Then release the parking
brake.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade
with the accelerator pedal. This can
cause the transaxle to overheat. Al-
ways use the brake pedal or parking
brake.
o Take care of your tires. Keep them
inflated to the recommended pressure.
Incorrect inflation, either too much or
too little, results in unnecessary tire
wear. Check the tire pressures at least
once a month.
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned
correctly. Improper alignment can re-
sult from hitting curbs or driving too fast
over irregular surfaces. Poor align-
ment causes faster tire wear and may
also result in other problems as well as
greater fuel consumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For
better fuel economy and reduced main-
tenance costs, maintain your car in
accordance with the maintenance
schedule in Section 5. If you drive your
car in severe conditions, more fre-
quent maintenance is required (see
Section 5 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum
service, your Hyundai should be kept
clean and free of corrosive materials.
It is especially important that mud, dirt,
ice, etc. not be allowed to accumulate
on the underside of the car. This extra
weight can result in increased fuel
consumption and also contribute to
corrosion.

WINTER DRIVING
C160A01A-AAT
The more severe weather conditions of
winter result in greater wear and other
problems. To minimize the problems of
winter driving, you should follow these
suggestions:
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary
weight in your car. Weight reduces fuel
economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than
necessary. If you are waiting (and not
in traffic), turn off your engine and
restart only when you're ready to go.
o Remember, your Hyundai does not
require extended warm-up. After the
engine has started, allow the engine to
run for 10 to 20 seconds prior to plac-
ing the vehicle in gear. In very cold
weather, however, give your engine a
slightly longer warm-up period.
o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine.
Lugging is driving too slowly in too
high a gear resulting in the engine
bucking. If this happens, shift to a lower
gear. Over-revving is racing the en-
gine beyond its safe limit. This can be
avoided by shifting at the recommend-
ed speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly.
The air conditioning system is oper-
ated by engine power so your fuel
economy is reduced when you use it.
SMOOTH CORNERING
C150A01A-AAT
Avoid braking or gear changing in cor-
ners, especially when roads are wet. Ide-
ally, corners should always be taken
under gentle acceleration. If you follow
these suggestions, tire wear will be held
to a minimum.

C160D01A-AAT
Check Battery and Cables
Winter puts additional burdens on the
battery system. Visually inspect the bat-
tery and cables as described in Section
6. The level of charge in your battery can
be checked by your Hyundai dealer or a
service station.
C160C01A-AAT
Use High Quality Ethylene Glycol
Coolant
Your Hyundai is delivered with high qual-
ity ethylene glycol coolant in the cooling
system. It is the only type of coolant that
should be used because it helps prevent
corrosion in the cooling system, lubri-
cates the water pump and prevents freez-
ing. Be sure to replace or replenish your
coolant in accordance with the mainte-
nance schedule in Section 5. Before win-
ter, have your coolant tested to assure
that its freezing point is sufficient for the
temperatures anticipated during the win-
ter.
C160B01A-AAT
Snowy or Icy Conditions
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may
be necessary to use snow tires or to
install tire chains on your tires. If snow
tires are needed, it is necessary to select
tires equivalent in size and type to the
original equipment tires. Failure to do so
may adversely affect the safety and han-
dling of your car. Furthermore, speeding,
rapid acceleration, sudden brake appli-
cations, and sharp turns are potentially
very hazardous practices.
During deceleration, use engine braking
to the fullest extent. Sudden brake appli-
cations on snowy or icy roads may cause
skids to occur. You need to keep suffi-
cient distance between the vehicle in
operation in front and your vehicle. Also,
apply the brake gently. It should be noted
that installing tire chains on the tire will
provide a greater driving force, but will
not prevent side skids.
NOTE:
Tire chains are not legal in all states.
Check state laws before fitting tire
chains.
C160E01A-AAT
Change to "Winter Weight" Oil if
Necessary
In some climates it is recommended that
a lower viscosity "winter weight" oil be
used during cold weather. See Section 9
for recommendations. If you aren't sure
what weight oil you should use, consult
your Hyundai dealer.
C160F02A-AAT
Check Spark Plugs and Ignition
System
Inspect your spark plugs and replace
them if necessary. Also check all ignition
wiring and components to be sure they
are not cracked, worn or damaged in any
way.

Carry Emergency Equipment
Depending on the severity of the weather
where you drive your car, you should
carry appropriate emergency equipment.
Some of the items you may want to carry
include tire chains, tow straps or chains,
flashlight, emergency flares, sand, a
shovel, jumper cables, a window scraper,
gloves, ground cloth, coveralls, a blanket,
etc.
C160H01A-AAT
Use Approved Anti-Freeze in Win-
dow Washer System
To keep the water in the window washer
system from freezing, add an approved
anti-freeze solution in accordance with
instructions on the container. Window
washer anti-freeze is available from
Hyundai dealers and most auto parts
outlets. Do not use engine coolant or
other types of anti-freeze as these may
damage the finish.
C160G01A-AAT
To Keep Locks from Freezing
To keep the locks from freezing, squirt an
approved de-icer fluid or glycerine into
the key opening. If a lock is covered with
ice, squirt it with an approved de-icing
fluid to remove the ice. If the lock is frozen
internally, you may be able to thaw it out
by using a heated key. Handle the heated
key with care to avoid injury.
C160I01A-AAT
Don't Let Your Parking Brake Freeze
Under some conditions your parking brake
can freeze in the engaged position. This
is most likely to happen when there is an
accumulation of snow or ice around or
near the rear brakes or if the brakes are
wet. If you think the parking brake may
freeze, apply it only temporarily while
you put the gear selector lever in "P"
(automatic) or in first or reverse gear
(manual transaxle) and block the rear
wheels so the car cannot roll. Then re-
lease the parking brake.
C160J01A-AAT
Don't Let Ice and Snow Accumulate
Underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice
can build up under the fenders and inter-
fere with the steering. When driving in
severe winter conditions where this may
happen, you should periodically check
underneath the car to be sure the move-
ment of the front wheels and the steering
components is not obstructed.

USE OF LIGHTS
C180A01A-AAT
Check your lights regularly for correct
operation and always keep them clean.
When driving during the day in conditions
of poor visibility, it is helpful to drive with
headlights on low beam. This enables
you to be seen, as well as to see.
HIGHER SPEED MOTORING
C170A02A-AAT
Pre-Trip Inspections
1. Tires:
Adjust the tire inflation pressures for high-
way driving. Low tire inflation pressures
will result in overheating and possible
failure of the tires.
Avoid using worn or damaged tires which
may result in reduced traction or tire fail-
ure.
NOTE:
Never exceed the maximum tire infla-
tion pressure shown on the tires.
WARNING:
o Underinflated or overinflated tires
can cause poor handling, loss of ve-
hicle control, and sudden tire failure
leading to accidents, injuries, and
even death. Always check tires are
properly inflated before driving. Refer
to pages 2-20 and 8-3 for proper tire
pressures and further information.
2. Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil:
High speed travel consumes more fuel
than urban motoring. Do not forget to
check both engine coolant and engine
oil.
3. Drive belt:
A loose or damaged drive belt may result
in overheating of the engine.
o Driving on tires with no or insuffi-
cient tread is dangerous. Worn-out
tires can result in loss of vehicle
control, collisions, injury, and even
death. Worn-out tires should be re-
placed as soon as possible and
should never be used for driving.
Always check tire tread before driv-
ing your car. Refer to 8-12 for further
information and tread limits.

Steps for Determining Correct Load
Limit
(1)Locate the statement "The com-
bined weight of occupants and cargo
should never exceed XXX pounds''
on your vehicle's placard.
(2)Determine the combined weight of
the driver and passengers that will
be riding in your vehicle.
(3)Subtract the combined weight of the
driver and passengers from XXX
kilograms or XXX pounds.
(4)The resulting figure equals the avail-
able amount of cargo and luggage
load capacity. For example, if the
"XXX" amount equals 1400 lbs, and
there will be five 150 lb. passengers
in your vehicle, the amount of avail-
able cargo and luggage load capac-
ity is 650 lbs. (1400-750 (5 x 150) =
650 lbs.)
(5)Determine the combined weight of
luggage and cargo being loaded on
the vehicle. That weight may not
safely exceed the available cargo
and luggage load capacity calcu-
lated in Step 4.
The tire label located on the driver's
side of the center pillar outer panel
gives the original tire size, cold tire
pressures recommended for your ve-
hicle, the number of people that can be
in your vehicle and vehicle capacity
weight.
Vehicle capacity weight:
849 lbs (385 kg)
Vehicle capacity weight is the maxi-
mum combined weight of occupants
and cargo. If your vehicle is equipped
with a trailer, the combined weight
includes the tongue load.
Seating capacity:
Total: 5 persons
(Front seat: 2 persons,
Rear seat: 3 persons)
Seating capacity is the maximum num-
ber of occupants including a driver,
your vehicle may carry.
However the seating capacity may be
reduced based upon the weight of all
of the occupants, and the weight of the
cargo being carried or towed. Do not
overload the vehicle as there is a limit
to the total weight, or load limit includ-
ing occupants and cargo, the vehicle
can carry.
Towing capacity:
We do not recommend using this ve-
hicle for trailer towing.
Cargo capacity:
The cargo capacity of your vehicle will
increase or decrease depending on the
weight and the number of occupants
and the tongue load, if your vehicle is
equipped with a trailer.

WARNING:
o Never exceed the GVWR for your
vehicle, the GAWR for either the
front or rear axle and vehicle ca-
pacity weight. Exceeding these
ratings can cause an accident or
vehicle damage. You can calcu-
late the weight of your load by
weighing the items (or people)
before putting them in the ve-
hicle. Be careful not to overload
your vehicle.
o Do not load your vehicle any
heavier than the GVWR, either the
maximum front or rear GAWR
and vehicle capacity weight. If
you do, parts, including tires on
your vehicle can break, and it can
change the way your vehicle
handles and braking ability. This
could cause you to lose control
and crash. Also, overloading can
shorten the life of your vehicle.
This label also tells you the maximum
weights that can be supported by the
front and rear axles, called Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR). To find out the
actual loads on your front and rear
axles, you need to go to a weigh
station and weigh your vehicle. Your
dealer can help you with this. Be sure
to spread out your load equally on the
left and right sides of the centerline.
!
WARNING:
o Overloading your vehicle can
cause heat buildup in your
vehicle's tires and possible tire
failure that could lead to a crash.
o Overloading your vehicle can
cause increased stopping dis-
tances that could lead to a crash.
o A crash resulting from poor han-
dling vehicle damage, tire failure,
or increased stopping dis-
tances could result in serious
injury or death.

NOTE:
o Overloading your vehicle may
cause damage. Repairs would not
be covered by your warranty. Do
not overload your vehicle.
o Using heavier suspension com-
ponents to get added durability
might not change your weight
ratings. Ask your dealer to help
you load your vehicle the right
way.
The label will help you decide how
much cargo and installed equipment
your vehicle can carry.
If you carry items inside your vehicle
– like suitcases, tools, packages, or
anything else – they move as fast as
the vehicle goes. If you have to stop or
turn quickly, or if there is a crash, the
items will keep going and can cause
an injury if they strike the driver or a
passenger.
!
WARNING:
Items you carry inside your vehicle
can strike and injure people in a
sudden stop or turn, or in a crash.
o Put things in the cargo area of
your vehicle. Try to spread the
weight evenly.
o Never stack items, like suitcases,
inside the vehicle above the tops
of the seats.
o Do not leave an unsecured child
restraint in your vehicle.
o When you carry something in-
side the vehicle, secure it.
o Do not drive with a seat folded
down unless necessary.

the jump-start operation is highly ex-
plosive. If these instructions are not
followed exactly, serious personal in-
jury and damage to the vehicle may
occur! If you are not sure how to follow
this procedure, seek qualified assis-
tance. Automobile batteries contain sul-
furic acid. This is poisonous and highly
corrosive. When jump starting, wear
protective glasses and be careful not to
get acid on yourself, your clothing or on

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
D030A02A-AAT
If your temperature gauge indicates over-
heating, you experience a loss of power,
or hear loud pinging or knocking, the
engine is probably too hot. If this hap-
pens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as
it is safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P"
(automatic), or neutral (manual
transaxle) and set the parking brake. If
the air conditioner is on, turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the car
or steam is coming out from the hood,
stop the engine. Do not open the hood
until the coolant has stopped running
or the steaming has stopped. If there is
no visible loss of coolant and no steam,
leave the engine running and check to
be sure the engine cooling fan is op-
erating. If the fan is not running, turn
the engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive
belt is missing. If it is not missing,
check to see that it is tight. If the drive
belt seems to be satisfactory, check for
coolant leaking from the radiator, hoses
or under the car. (If the air conditioner
had been in use, it is normal for cold
water to be draining from it when you
stop).
3. Attach the clamps of the jumper cable
in the exact location shown on the
previous page. First, attach one clamp
of the jumper cable to the positive (+)
post or cable of the discharged battery.
Then attach the other end of the same
cable to the positive (+) post or cable
of the booster battery. Next, using the
other cable, attach one clamp to the
negative (-) post or cable of the booster
battery. Then attach the other end of
that cable to a solid metal part of the
engine away from the battery. Do not
connect the cable to any moving part.
4. Start the engine in the car with the
booster battery and let it run for a few
minutes. This will help to assure that
the booster battery is fully charged.
During the jumping operation, run the
engine in this vehicle at about 2000
rpm.

WARNING:
While the engine is running, keep hands,
long hair and clothing away from mov-
ing parts such as the fan and drive belts
to prevent injury.
5. If the water pump drive belt is broken
or coolant is leaking out, stop the en-
gine immediately and call the nearest
Hyundai dealer for assistance.
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when
the engine is hot. This may allow cool-
ant to be blown out of the opening and
cause serious burns.
!
6. If you cannot find the cause of the
overheating, wait until the engine tem-
perature has returned to normal. Then,
if coolant has been lost, carefully add
water to the reservoir (Page 6-7) to
bring the fluid level in the reservoir up
to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for
further signs of overheating. If over-
heating happens again, call a Hyundai
dealer for assistance.
CAUTION:
Serious loss of coolant indicates there
is a leak in the cooling system and this
should be checked as soon as possible
by a Hyundai dealer.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR-
ING SYSTEM (TPMS)
C320A01TG
C320A01MC-AAT
(If Installed)
Low Tire Pressure Telltale
TPMS Malfunction Indicator
Each tire, including the spare (if pro-
vided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label. (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label,
you should determine the proper tire
inflation pressure for those tires.)

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
Low Tire Pressure Telltale
When the tire pressure monitoring sys-
tem warning telltale is illuminated, one
or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated.
Immediately reduce your speed, avoid
hard cornering and anticipate increased
stopping distances. You should stop
and check your tires as soon as pos-
sible. Inflate the tires to the proper
pressure as indicated on the vehicle’s
placard or tire inflation pressure label
located on the driver’s side center
pillar outer panel. If you cannot reach
a service station or if the tire cannot
hold the newly added air, replace the
low pressure tire with the temporary
spare tire. Then the TPMS malfunc-
tion indicator or the Low Tire Pressure
telltale may turn on after restarting and
about 20 minutes of continuous driving
before you have the low-pressure tire
repaired and replaced on the vehicle.
As an added safety feature, your ve-
hicle has been equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale when one or more of your tires
is significantly under-inflated. Accord-
ingly, when the low tire pressure tell-
tale illuminates, you should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper pres-
sure. Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to overheat
and can lead to tire failure. Under-
inflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the
level to trigger illumination of the TPMS
low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not oper-
ating properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is provided by a separate
telltale, which displays the symbol
"TPMS" when illuminated. When the
malfunction indicator is illuminated, the
system may not be able to detect or
signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including the instal-
lation of replacement or alternate tires
or wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction
indicator after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or alter-
nate tires and wheels allow the TPMS
to continue to function properly.
3
WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
7
!
CAUTION:
In winter or cold weather, the low
tire pressure telltale may be illumi-
nated if the tire pressure was ad-
justed to the recommended tire in-
flation pressure in warm weather. It
does not mean your TPMS is mal-
functioning because the decreased
temperature leads to a proportional
lowering of tire pressure.
When you drive your vehicle from a
warm area to a cold area or from a
cold area to a warm area, or the
outside temperature is greatly
higher or lower, you should check
the tire inflation pressure and ad-
just the tires to the recommended
tire inflation pressure.
WARNING:
Significantly low tire pressure
makes the vehicle unstable and can
contribute to loss of vehicle control
and increased braking distances.
Continued driving on low pressure
tires will cause the tires to overheat
and fail.
TPMS (Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System) Malfunction
Indicator
The TPMS malfunction indicator comes
on and stays on when there is a
problem with the Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System. If the system is able to
correctly detect an under-inflation warn-
ing at the same time as system failure
then it will illuminate both the TPMS
malfunction and the low tire pressure
telltale e.g. if Front Left sensor fails,
the TPMS malfunction indicator turns
on, but if Front Right, Rear Left, or
!
Rear Right tire is under-inflated, the
low tire pressure telltale may turn on at
the same time as the TPMS malfunc-
tion indicator. Have the system
checked by an authorized Hyundai
dealer as soon as possible to deter-
mine the cause of the problem.
NOTE:
o The TPMS malfunction indicator
may be illuminated if the vehicle is
moving around electric power sup-
ply cables or radio transmitters
such as police stations, govern-
ment and public offices, broad-
casting stations, military installa-
tions, airports, or transmitting tow-
ers, etc. which can interfere with
normal operation of the Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS).
o The TPMS malfunction indicator
may be illuminated if snow chains
or some electronic devices, such
as notebook computers, are used
in the vehicle. This can interfere
with normal operation of the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS).
3
8
WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
o If there is a failed tire sensor, it is
possible for the TPMS to tempo-
rarily learn a replacement sensor
if closely driven to another ve-
hicle that is also equipped with
TPMS. In rare cases, this may
temporarily delay the TPMS mal-
function indicator from turning
on.
Changing a tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure telltale will turn on. Have the
flat tire repaired by an authorized
Hyundai dealer as soon as possible or
replace the flat tire with the temporary
spare tire.
NOTE:
NEVER use a puncture-repairing
agent to repair and/or inflate a low
pressure tire. If used, you will have
to replace the tire pressure sensor.
Each wheel is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor mounted inside the
tire behind the valve stem. You must
use TPMS specific wheels. It is rec-
ommended that you always have your
tires serviced by an authorized Hyundai
dealer as soon as possible.
After you replace the low pressure tire
with the spare tire, the TPMS malfunc-
tion indicator or the Low Tire Pressure
telltale may illuminate after restarting
and about 20 minutes of continuous
driving.
Once the low pressure tire is re-in-
flated to the recommended pressure
and installed on the vehicle, the TPMS
malfunction indicator and the low tire
pressure telltale will be extinguished.
If the low pressure and TPMS mal-
function indicators are not extinguished
after about 20 minutes of continuous
driving, please visit an authorized
Hyundai dealer.
You may not be able to identify a low
tire by simply looking at it. Always use
a good quality tire pressure gauge to
measure the tire's inflation pressure.
Please note that a tire that is hot (from
being driven) will have a higher pres-
sure measurement than a tire that is
cold (from sitting stationary for at least
3 hours and driven less than 1 mile
during that 3 hour period). Allow the
tire to cool before measuring the infla-
tion pressure.
Always be sure the tire is cold before
inflating to the recommended pres-
sure.
A cold tire means the vehicle has been
sitting for 3 hours and driven for less
than 1 mile in that 3 hour period.

CAUTION:
o Do not use any tire sealant if your
vehicle is equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System. The
liquid sealant can damage the
tire pressure sensors.
o In order for the system to cor-
rectly monitor tires for under-in-
flation, there should be a total of
exactly 4 sensors fitted to each of
the four driven wheel positions.
There should be no other sen-
sors in the vehicle including spare
tire since this could cause the
system to monitor the wrong sen-
sors.
WARNING:
Tampering with, modifying, or dis-
abling the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) components may
interfere with the system's ability to
warn the driver of low tire pressure
conditions and/or TPMS malfunc-
tions. Tampering with, modifying,
or disabling the Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System (TPMS) components
may void the warranty for that por-
tion of the vehicle.

If a tire goes flat while you are driving:
1. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the car slow down while
driving straight ahead. Do not apply
the brakes immediately or attempt to
pull off the road as this may cause a
loss of control. When the car has
slowed to such a speed that it is safe
to do so, brake carefully and pull off
the road. Drive off the road as far as
possible and park on firm, level
ground. If you are on a divided high-
way, do not park in the median area
between the two traffic lanes.
2. When the car is stopped, turn on
your emergency hazard flashers,
set the parking brake and put the
transaxle in "P" (automatic) or re-
verse (manual transaxle).

slightly and get the top hole in the
wheel lined up with the top stud. Then
jiggle the wheel back and forth until the
wheel can be slid over the other studs.
WARNING:
Do not get under the car when it is
supported by the jack! This is very
dangerous as the vehicle could fall
and cause serious injury or death.
No one should stay in the car while
the jack is being used.

CORROSION PROTECTION
E010B01A-AAT
Common Causes of Corrosion
The most common causes of corrosion
on your car are:
o Road salt, dirt and moisture that is
allowed to accumulate underneath the
car.
o Removal of paint or protective coat-
ings by stones, gravel, abrasion or
minor scrapes and dents which leave
unprotected metal exposed to corro-
sion.
E010A01A-AAT
Protecting Your Hyundai from Cor-
rosion
By using the most advanced design and
construction practices to combat corro-
sion, Hyundai produces cars of the high-
est quality. However, this is only part of
the job. To achieve the long term corro-
sion resistance your Hyundai can deliver,
the owner's cooperation and assistance
is also required.
E010C01A-AAT
High-Corrosion Areas
If you live in an area where your car is
regularly exposed to corrosive materials,
corrosion protection is particularly impor-
tant. Some of the common causes of
accelerated corrosion are road salts, dust
control chemicals, ocean air and indus-
trial pollution.
E010D01A-AAT
Moisture Breeds Corrosion
Moisture creates the conditions in which
corrosion is most likely to occur. For ex-
ample, corrosion is accelerated by high
humidity, particularly when temperatures
are just above freezing. In such condi-
tions, the corrosive material is kept in
contact with the car surfaces by moisture
that is slow to evaporate.
Mud is a particular enemy of corrosion
protection because it is slow to dry and
holds moisture in contact with the ve-
hicle. Even though the mud appears to
be dry, it can still retain moisture and
promote corrosion.
High temperatures can also accelerate
corrosion of parts that are not properly
ventilated so the moisture can be dis-
persed. For all these reasons, it is par-
ticularly important to keep your car clean
and free of mud or accumulations of other
materials. This applies not only on the
visible surfaces but particularly to the
underside of the car.

TO HELP PREVENT COR-
ROSION
E020A01A-AAT
You can help prevent corrosion from
getting started by observing the follow-
ing:
E020B01A-AAT
Keep Your Car Clean
The best way to prevent corrosion is to
keep your car clean and free of corrosive
materials. Attention to the underside of
the car is particularly important.
o If you live in a high-corrosion area —
where road salts are used, near the
ocean, areas with industrial pollution,
acid rain, etc.— you should take extra
care to prevent corrosion. In winter,
hose off the underside of your car at
least once a month and be sure to
clean the underside thoroughly when
winter is over.
o When cleaning underneath the car,
give particular attention to the compo-
nents under the fenders and other
areas that are hidden from view.
Do a thorough job; just dampening the
accumulated mud rather than washing
it away will accelerate corrosion rather
than prevent it. Water under high pres-
sure and steam are particularly effec-
tive in removing accumulated mud and
corrosive materials.
E020C01A-AAT
Keep Your Garage Dry
Don't park your car in a damp, poorly
ventilated garage. This creates a favor-
able environment for corrosion. This is
particularly true if you wash your car in
the garage or drive it into the garage
when it is still wet or covered with snow,
ice or mud. Even a heated garage can
contribute to corrosion unless it is well
ventilated so moisture is dispersed.
E020D02A-AAT
Keep Paint and Trim in Good Condi-
tion
Scratches or chips in the finish should be
covered with "touch-up" paint as soon as
possible to reduce the possibility of cor-
rosion. If bare metal is showing through,
the attention of a qualified body and paint
shop is recommended.
Bird droppings : Bird droppings are highly
corrosive and may damage painted sur-
faces in just a few hours. Always remove
bird droppings as soon as possible.
E020E01A-AAT
Don't Neglect the Interior
Moisture can collect under the floor mats
and carpeting to cause corrosion. Check
under the mats periodically to be sure the
carpeting is dry. Use particular care if you
carry fertilizers, cleaning materials or
chemicals in the car.
These should be carried only in proper
containers and any spills or leaks should
be cleaned up, flushed with clear water
and thoroughly dried.
o When cleaning lower door panels,
rocker panels and frame members, be
sure that drain holes are kept open so
that moisture can escape and not be
trapped inside to ac-celerate corro-
sion.

Use a clean sponge or cloth, rinse it
frequently and don't damage the finish by
rubbing too hard. For stubborn spots,
dampen them frequently and remove
them a little at a time.
To clean whitewall tires, use a stiff brush
or soap-impregnated steel-wool scour-
ing pad.
To clean plastic wheel covers, use a
clean sponge or soft cloth and water.
To clean cast aluminum alloy wheels,
use a mild soap or neutral detergent. Do
not use abrasive cleaners. Protect the
bare-metal surfaces by cleaning, polish-
ing and waxing. Because aluminum is
subject to corrosion, be sure to give alu-
minum alloy wheels special attention in
winter. If you drive on salted roads, clean
the wheels thoroughly afterwards.
After washing, be sure to rinse thoroughly.
If soapy water dries on the finish, streak-
ing will result.
When the weather is warm and the hu-
midity low, you may find it necessary to
rinse each section immediately after wash-
ing to avoid streaking.
After rinsing, dry the car using a damp
chamois or soft, absorbent cloth. The rea-
son for drying the car is to remove water
from the car so it will dry without water
spots. Don't rub, this can damage the
finish.
If you find any nicks or scratches in the
paint, use touch-up paint to cover them to
prevent corrosion. To protect the
paintwork of the car against corrosion,
you must clean your Hyundai (at least
once a month). Give special attention to
the removal of salt, mud and other sub-
stances on the underside of the
splashboards of the car. Make sure that
the outlets and the underside of the doors
are open. Paint damage can be caused
by small accumulation of tar, industrial
precipitation, tree resin, insects and bird
droppings, when not removed immedi-
ately.
If water alone is not strong enough to
remove the accumulated dirt, use a mild
car washing solution. Be sure to rinse the
surface after washing to remove the solu-
tion. Never allow the solution to dry on the
painted surfaces.
WASHING AND WAXING
E030A02A-AAT
Washing Your Hyundai
Never wash your car when the surface is
hot from being in the sun. Always wash
your car in the shade.
Wash your car frequently. Dirt is abrasive
and can scratch the paint if it is not re-
moved. Air pollution or acid rain may
damage the paint and trim through chemi-
cal action if pollutants are allowed to
remain in contact with the surface. If you
live near the ocean or in an area where
road salts or dust control chemicals are
used, you should pay particular attention
to the underside of the car. Start by rins-
ing the car to remove dust and loose dirt.
In winter, or if you have driven through
mud or muddy water, be sure to thor-
oughly clean the underside as well. Use
a hard direct stream of water to remove
accumulations of mud or corrosive mate-
rials. Use a good quality car-washing
solution and follow the manufacturer's
directions on the package. These are
available at your Hyundai dealer or auto
parts outlet. Don't use strong household
detergents, gasoline, strong solvents or
abrasive cleaning powders as these may
damage the finish.

Spot Cleaning
Don't use gasoline, strong solvents or
corrosive cleaning agents. These can
damage the finish of the car. To remove
road tar, use turpentine on a clean, soft
cloth. Be gentle.
To remove dead insects or tree sap, use
warm water and mild soap or car-wash-
ing solution. Soak the spot and rub gen-
tly. If the paint has lost its luster, use a
commercial car-cleaning polish.
E030C01A-AAT
Polishing and Waxing
Always wash and dry the car before pol-
ishing or waxing or using a combination
cleaner and wax. Use a good quality
commercial product and follow the
manufacturer's directions on the con-
tainer. Polish and wax the bright trim
pieces as well as the paint.
E030D01A-AAT
When to Wax Again
You should polish and wax the car again
when water no longer beads on a clean
surface but spreads out over a larger
area.
E030E01A-AAT
Maintaining Bumpers
Special precautions must be observed to
preserve the appearance of the bumpers
on your Hyundai. They are:
o Be careful not to spill battery electro-
lyte or hydraulic brake fluid on the
bumpers. If you do, wash it off imme-
diately with clean water.
o Be gentle when cleaning the bumper
surfaces. They are made of soft plastic
and the surface can be damaged if
mistreated. Do not use abrasive clean-
ers. Use warm water and mild soap or
carwashing solution.
o Do not expose the bumpers to high
temperatures. For example, if you have
your car repainted, do not leave the
bumpers on the car if the car is going
to be placed in a high-temperature
paint booth.
!
CAUTION:
OJB037800
o Water washing in the engine com-
partment including high pressure
water washing may cause the failure
of electrical circuits located in the
engine compartment.
o Never allow water or other liquids to
come in contact with electrical/elec-
tronic components inside the vehicle
as this may damage them.

E040D01A-AAT
Cleaning the Seat Belts
To clean the seat belts, use a cloth or
sponge with mild soap or detergent and
warm water. Do not use strong deter-
gents, dye, bleach or abrasive materials
on the seat belts as this may weaken the
fabric.
While cleaning the belts, inspect them for
excessive wear, cuts, fraying or other
signs of damage and replace them if
necessary.
E040E01A-AAT
Cleaning the Windows
You may use any household window
cleaner on the windows. However, when
cleaning the inside of the rear window be
careful not to damage the rear window
defroster wiring.
E040A01A-AAT
To Clean the Vinyl Upholstery
To clean the vinyl upholstery, first remove
loose dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner.
Then apply a solution of mild soap or
detergent and water using a clean sponge
or soft cloth. Allow this to stay on the
surface to loosen the dirt, then wipe with
a clean damp sponge or cloth. If all the
dirt stains are not removed, repeat this
procedure until the upholstery is clean.
Do not use gasoline, solvent, paint thin-
ner or other strong cleaners.
E040C01A-AAT
Cleaning the Carpets
Use a foam-type carpet cleaner. Clean-
ers of this type are available in aerosol
cans in liquid form or powder. Read the
instructions and follow them exactly. Us-
ing a vacuum cleaner with the appropri-
ate attachment, remove as much dirt from
the carpets as possible. Apply the foam
following the manufacturer's directions,
then rub in overlapping circles. Do not
add water. These cleaners work best
when the carpet is kept as dry as pos-
sible.

Maintenance Requirements
The maintenance required for your
Hyundai can be divided into three main
areas:
o Specified scheduled procedures
o General checks
o Do-it-yourself maintenance
F010A01A-AAT
Service Requirements
To ensure that you receive the greatest
number of miles of satisfying operation
from your Hyundai, certain maintenance
procedures must be performed. Although
careful design and engineering have re-
duced these to a minimum, those that are
required are of the utmost importance.
It is your responsibility to have these
maintenance procedures performed to
comply with the terms of the warranties
covering your new Hyundai. The Owner's
Handbook supplied with your new ve-
hicle provides further information about
these warranties.
F010D01A-AAT
General Checks
These are the regular checks you should
perform when you drive your Hyundai or
you fill the fuel tank. A list of these items
will be found on page 6-3.
F010C01A-AAT
Specified Scheduled Procedures
These are the procedures such as in-
spections, adjustments and replacements
that are listed in the maintenance charts
starting on page 5-4. These procedures
must be performed at the intervals shown
in the maintenance schedule to assure
that your warranty remains in effect. Al-
though it is strongly recommended that
they be performed by the factory-trained
or distributor-trained technicians at your
Hyundai dealer, these procedures may
be performed at any qualified service
facility.
It is suggested that genuine Hyundai
service parts be used for any required
repairs or replacements. Other parts of
equivalent quality such as engine oil,
engine coolant, manual or auto transaxle
oil, brake fluid and so on which are not
supplied by Hyundai Motor Company or
its distributor may be used without affect-
ing your warranty coverage but you should
always be sure these are equivalent to
the quality of the original Hyundai parts.
Your Owner's Handbook provides further
information about your warranty cover-
age.
F010E01A-AAT
Do-It-Yourself Maintenance
If you are mechanically inclined, own a
few tools that are required and want to
take the time to do so, you can inspect
and service a number of items. For more
information about doing it yourself, see
Section 6.

SCHEDULED MAINTE-
NANCE REQUIREMENTS
F020A02A-AAT
o Inspection should be performed any
time a malfunction is experienced or
suspected.
o Receipts for all emission control sys-
tem services should be retained to
demonstrate compliance with condi-
tions of the emissions system war-
ranty.
o After 120 months or 150,000 miles

prescribed maintenance intervals.
o For severe usage maintenance re-
quirements, see page 5-6 of this sec-
tion.
F010F01A-AAT
A Few Tips
o Whenever you have your Hyundai
serviced, keep copies of the service
records in your glove box. This will
help ensure that you can document
that the required procedures have been
performed to keep your warranties in
effect. This is especially important
when service is not performed by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.
o If you choose to do your own mainte-
nance and repairs, you may find it
helpful to have an official Hyundai
Shop Manual. A copy of this publica-
tion may be purchased at your Hyundai
dealer's parts department.

the engine room to simplify this opera-
tion).
3. Be sure to check all other fuses, even
if you find one that appears to have
opened.
4. Replace the blown fuse by pressing a
new fuse of the same rating into place.
The fuse should be a snug fit. If it is not,
have the fuse clip repaired or replaced
by a Hyundai dealer. If you do not
have a spare fuse, you may be able to
borrow a fuse of the same or lower

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
Canister
Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel
tank are absorbed and stored in the
onboard canister. When the engine is
running, the fuel vapors absorbed in the
canister are drawn into the induction sys-
tem through the purge control solenoid
valve.
Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)
The purge control solenoid valve is con-
trolled by the Engine Control Module
(ECM); when the engine coolant tem-
perature is low during idling, the PCSV
closes so that evaporated fuel is not taken
into the engine. After the engine warms-
up during ordinary driving, the PCSV
opens to introduce evaporated fuel to the
engine.
H010B01A-AAT
1. Crankcase Emission Control
System
The positive crankcase ventilation sys-
tem is employed to prevent air pollution
caused by blow-by gases being emitted
from the crankcase. This system supplies
filtered fresh air to the crankcase through
the air intake hose. Inside the crankcase,
the fresh air mixes with blow-by gases,
then passes through the PCV valve into
the induction system.
H010A01A-AAT
Your Hyundai is equipped with an emis-
sion control system to meet all require-
ments of the U.S. Environmental Protec-
tion Agency or California Air Resources
Board.
There are three emission control systems
which are as follows.
1) Crankcase Emission Control System
2) Evaporative Emission Control System
3) Exhaust Emission Control System
In order to ensure the proper function of
the emission control systems, it is recom-
mended that you have your car inspected
and maintained by an authorized Hyundai
dealer in accordance with the mainte-
nance schedule in this manual.
H010D01A-AAT
3. Exhaust Emission
Control System
The Exhaust Emission Control System is
a highly effective system which controls
exhaust emissions while maintaining
good vehicle performace.
H010C01S-AAT
2. Evaporative Emission Control (In-
cluding ORVR: Onboard Refuel-
ing Vapor Recovery) System
The Evaporative Emission Control Sys-
tem is designed to prevent fuel vapors
from escaping into the atmosphere.
(The ORVR system is designed to allow
the vapors from the fuel tank to be loaded
into a canister while refueling at the gas
station, preventing the escape of fuel
vapors into the atmosphere.)

CATALYTIC CONVERTER
!!
H020A03A-AAT
(If Installed)
Hyundai vehicle is equipped with a mono-
lith type three-way catalytic converter to
reduce the carbon monoxide, hydrocar-
bons and nitrogen oxides contained in
the exhaust gas. Exhaust gases passing
through the catalytic converter cause it to
operate at a very high temperature. The
introduction of large amounts of unburned
gasoline into the exhaust may cause the
catalytic converter to overheat and create
a fire hazard. This risk may be reduced by
observing the following:
WARNING:
o Do not touch the catalytic converter
or any other part of the exhaust sys-
tem while the catalytic converter is
hot. Shut off the engine, wait for at
least one hour before touching the
catalytic converter or any other part
of the exhaust system.
o Remember that your Hyundai dealer
is your best source of assistance.
o Do not park, idle or drive your ve-
hicle over any combustible material
such as grass, paper, leaves or rags.
These materials might contact the
hot catalytic converter and a fire
might result.
H020A01MC
Catalytic Converter
WARNING:
o Use unleaded fuel only.
o Maintain the engine in good operat-
ing condition. Extremely high cata-
lytic converter temperatures can re-
sult from improper operation of the
electrical, ignition or multiport elec-
tronic fuel injection.
o If your engine stalls, pings, knocks,
or is hard to start, have your Hyundai
dealer inspect and repair the prob-
lem as soon as possible.
o Avoid driving with a very low fuel
level. Running out of gasoline may
cause the engine to misfire and re-
sult in damage to the catalytic con-
verter.
o Avoid idling the engine for periods
longer than 10 minutes.
o The vehicle should not be pushed or
pulled to get started. This may cause
the catalytic converter to overheat
and create a fire hazard.

These pressures were chosen to pro-
vide the most satisfactory combina-
tion of ride comfort, tire wear and
stability under normal conditions. Tire
pressures should be checked at least
monthly. Proper tire inflation pressures
should be maintained for these rea-
sons:
WARNING:
o Inspect your tires frequently for
proper inflation as well as wear
and damage. Always use a tire
pressure gauge.
o Tires with too much or too little
pressure wear unevenly causing
poor handling, loss of vehicle
control, and sudden tire failure
leading to accidents, injuries, and
even death. The recommended
cold tire pressure for your ve-
hicle can be found in this manual
and on the tire label located on
the driver's side of the center

o Worn tires can cause accidents.
Replace tires that are worn, show
uneven wear, or are damaged.
See page 8-12.
o Remember to check the pressure
of your spare tire. Hyundai rec-
ommends that you check the
spare every time you check the
pressure of the other tires on
your vehicle.
WARNING:
Overinflation or underinflation can
reduce the tire life, adversely affect
vehicle handling, and lead to sud-
den tire failure. This could rusult in
loss of vehicle control and potential
injury.
CAUTION:
Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tires
are cold. (After the vehicle has
been parked for at least three
hours or hasn't been driven more
than one mile (1.6 km) since start-
ing up.)
o Check the pressure of your spare
tire each time you check the pres-
sure of other tires.
o Never overload your vehicle. Be
especially careful about overload-
ing if you equip your vehicle with
a luggage rack.
o Worn, old tires can cause acci-
dents. If your tread is badly worn,
or if your tires have been dam-
aged, replace them.
!
WARNING:
NOTE:
o Underinflation also results in ex-
cessive wear, poor handling and
reduced fuel economy. Wheel de-
formation also is possible. Keep
your tire pressures at the proper
levels. If a tire frequently needs
refilling, have it checked by your
Hyundai Dealer.
o Overinflation produces a harsh
ride, excessive wear at the center
of the tire tread, and a greater
possibility of damage from road
hazards.

If you overfill the tire, release air by
pushing on the metal stem in the
center of the tire valve. Recheck the
tire pressure with the tire gauge. Be
sure to put the valve caps back on the
valve stems. They help prevent leaks
by keeping out dirt and moisture.
Federal law requires tire manufactur-
ers to place standardized information
on the sidewall of all tires. This infor-
mation identifies and describes the
fundamental characteristics of the tire
and also provides the tire identification
number (TIN) for safety standard cer-
tification. The TIN can be used to
identify the tire in case of a recall.

CHECKING TIRE INFLATION PRES-
SURE
Check your tires once a month or
more. Also, check the tire pressure of
the spare tire.
How to Check
Use a good quality gauge to check tire
pressure. You can not tell if your tires
are properly inflated simply by looking
at them. Radial tires may look properly
inflated even when they're underinflated.
Check the tire's inflation pressure when
the tires are cold. - "Cold" means your
vehicle has been sitting for at least
three hours or driven no more than 1
mile (1.6 km).
Remove the valve cap from the tire
valve stem. Press the tire gauge firmly
onto the valve to get a pressure mea-
surement. If the cold tire inflation pres-
sure matches the recommended pres-
sure on the tire and loading information
label, no further adjustment is neces-
sary. If the pressure is low, add air
until you reach the recommended
amount.

SNOW TIRES
If you equip your car with snow tires,
they should be the same size and
have the same load capacity as the
original tires. Snow tires should be
installed on all four wheels; otherwise,
poor handling may result.
Snow tires should carry 4 psi (28 kPa)
more air pressure than the pressure
recommended for the standard tires on
the tire label on the driver's side of the
center pillar , or up to the maximum
pressure shown on the tire sidewall
whichever is less.
Do not drive faster than 75 mph (120
km/h) when your car is equipped with
snow tires.
I040B01JM-AAT
ALL SEASON TIRES
Hyundai specifies all season tires on
some models to provide good perfor-
mance for use all year round, including
snowy and icy road conditions. All sea-
son tires are identified by ALL SEA-
SON and/or M+S (Mud and Snow) on
the tire sidewall. Snow tires have better

TIRE CHAINS
Tire chains, if necessary, should be
installed on the front wheels. Be sure
that the chains are installed in accor-
dance with the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
To minimize tire and chain wear, do
not continue to use tire chains when
they are no longer needed.
WARNING:
o If your vehicle is equipped with
P205/45R16 size tires, do not in-
stall tire chains. This may cause
damage to the vehicle (wheels,
suspension and body) by chains
contacting the body.
o When driving on roads covered
with snow or ice, drive at less
than 20 mph (30 km/h).
o Use the SAE "S" class or wire &
plastic chains.
o If you have noise caused by
chains contacting the body, re-
tighten the chain to avoid contact
with the vehicle body.
o To prevent body damage, re-
tighten the chains after driving
0.3~0.6 miles.
o Don't use tire chains on a vehicle
equipped with aluminium wheels.
If it is unavoidable, use wire type
chains.
o Use wire chains less than 15 mm
to prevent damage to the chain's
connection.
WARNING:
I060A02A-AAT
TIRE ROTATION
Tires should be rotated every 7,500
miles (12,000 km). If you notice that
tires are wearing unevenly between
rotations, have the car checked by a
Hyundai dealer so the cause may be
corrected.
After rotating, adjust the tire pressures
and be sure to check the wheel nut
torque.

WHEN TO REPLACE TIRES
Tread wear
indicator
The original tires on your car have
tread wear indicators. The location of
tread wear indicators is shown by the
"TWI" or " " marks, etc., The tread
wear indicators appear when the tread
depth is 0.06 in. (1.6 mm). The tire
should be replaced when these appear
as a solid bar across two or more
grooves of the tread. Always replace
your tires with those of the recom-
mended size. If you change wheels,
the new wheel's rim width and offset
must meet Hyundai specification.
OMC055017
!
WARNING:
o Do not use the temporary spare
tire for tire rotation.
o Do not mix bias ply and radial ply
tires under any circumstances.
This may cause unusual handling
characteristics that could result
in death, serious injury, or prop-
erty damage.
I070A01A-AAT
TIRE BALANCING
A tire that is out of balance may affect
handling and tire wear. The tires on
your Hyundai were balanced before
the car was delivered but may need
balancing again during the years you
own the car.
Whenever a tire is dismounted for
repair, it should be rebalanced before
being reinstalled on the car.
I080A01A-AAT
TIRE TRACTION
Tire traction can be reduced if you
drive on worn tires, tires that are im-
properly inflated or on slippery road
surfaces. Tires should be replaced
when tread wear indicators appear. To
reduce the possibility of losing control,
slow down whenever there is rain,
snow or ice on the road.

WARNING:
To reduce the chance or serious or
fatal injuries from an accident
caused by tire failure or loss of
vehicle control:
o Replace tires that are worn, show
uneven wear, or are damaged.
Worn tires can cause loss of brak-
ing effectiveness, steering con-
trol, and traction.
o Do not drive your vehicle with too
little or too much pressure in
your tires. This can lead to un-
even wear and tire failure.
o When replacing tires, never mix
radial and bias-ply tires on the
same car. You must replace all
tires (including the spare) if mov-
ing from radial to bias-ply tires.
o Using tires and wheel other than
the recommended sizes could
cause unusual handling charac-
teristics and poor vehicle con-
trol, resulting in a serious acci-
dent.
I090B02JM-AAT
TIRE MAINTENANCE
In addition to proper inflation, correct
wheel alignment helps to decrease tire
wear. If you find a tire is worn un-
evenly, have your dealer check the
wheel alignment.
When you have new tires installed,
make sure they are balanced. This will
increase vehicle ride comfort and tire
life. Additionally, a tire shoud always
be rebalanced if it is removed from the
wheel.
o Wheels that do not meet Hyundai's
specifications may fit poorly and
result in damage to the vehicle or
unusual handling and poor ve-
hicle control.
o Tires degrade over time, even when
they are not being used. Regard-
less of the remaining tread, it is
recommended that tires tread, It is
recommended that tires generally
be replaced after 6 years of normal
service. Heat caused by not to hot
climates or frequent high loading
Conditions can accelerate the ag-
ing process. Failure to follow this
Warning can result in sudden tire
failure, which could lead to a loss
of control and an accident involv-
ing serious injury or death.
o The ABS works by comparing the
speed of the wheels. Tire size can
affect wheel speed. When replac-
ing tires, all 4 tires must use the
same size originally supplied with
the vehicle. Using tires of a differ-
ent size can cause the ABS (Anti-
lock Brake System) (If Installed)
to work irregularly.
WARNING:
WARNING:
o Underinflated or overinflated tires
can cause poor handling, loss of
vehicle control, and sudden tire
failure leading to accidents, inju-
ries, and even death. Always
check tires are properly inflated
before driving. Refer to pages 2-
20 and 8-3 for proper tire pres-
sures and further information.

Tire Quality Grading
Department of Transportation quality
grades - All passenger vehicle tires
must conform to Federal motor vehicle
Safety Standards in addition to these
grades. These quality grades are
molded on the sidewall.
Treadwear - The treadwear grade is a
comparative rating based on the wear
rate of the tire when tested under
controlled conditions on a specified
government test course. For example,
a tire graded 150 would wear one and
a half (1 - 1/2) times as well on the
government course as a tire graded
100. The relative performance of tires
depends upon the actual conditions of
their use, however, and may depart
significantly from the norm due to
variations in driving habits, service
practices and differences in road char-
acteristics and climate.

Temperature A, B, C - The tempera-
ture grades are A (the highest), B, and
C, representing the tire's resistance to
the generation of heat and its ability to
dissipate heat when tested under con-
trolled conditions on a specified indoor
laboratory test wheel. Sustained high
temperature can cause the material of
the tire to degenerate and reduce tire
life, and excessive temperature can
lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C
corresponds to a level of performance
which all passenger car tires must
meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B
and A represent higher levels of perfor-
mance on the laboratory test wheel
than the minimum required by law.
!
WARNING:
The temperature grade for this tire
is established for a tire that is prop-
erly inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or
excessive loading, either separately
or in combination, can cause heat
buildup and possible tire failure.
Uniform Tire Quality Grading
Quality grades can be found where
applicable on the tire sidewall between
tread shoulder and maximum section
width.
For example:
TREAD wear 200
TRACTION AA
TEMPERATUE A
!
Traction AA, A, B, C - The traction
grades, from highest to lowest, are
AA, A, B, and C. Those grades repre-
sent the tire's ability to stop on wet
pavement as measured under con-
trolled conditions on specified govern-
ment test surfaces of asphalt and
concrete. A tire marked C may have
poor traction performance.
WARNING:
The traction grade assigned to this
tire is based on straight-ahead brak-
ing traction tests, and does not in-
clude acceleration, cornering, hy-
droplaning, or peak traction charac-
teristics.
