FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
Use Unleaded Gasoline
Unleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane Rating
of 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher
must be used in Hyundai vehicle. If leaded
gasoline is used, it will cause the catalytic
converter to become ineffective and the emission control system to malfunction.
This can also result in increased maintenance
expense. To avoid accidental use of leaded
fuel, the large nozzle used with leaded gasoline
at service stations can not be inserted into fuel
tank opening of Hyundai vehicle.
NOTE:
For some countrles, Hyundai vehicles are
designed to use leaded gasoline. When you
are going to use leaded gasoline, ask to
Hyundai dealer whether leaded gasoline In
your vehlcle Is avallable or not.

What About Gasohol?
Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gasoline
and 10% ethanol or grain alcohol) may be used
in your Hyundai. However, if your engine develops driveability problems, the use of 100%
unleaded gasoline is recommended.
Fuels with unspecified quantities of alcohol, or
alcohols otherthan ethanol, should not be used.
B010001S-AAT
Do not Use Methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood alcohol) should
not be used in your Hyundai. This type of fuel
can reduce vehicle performance and damage
components of the fuel system.
CAUTION:
Your Hyundai's New Vehicle Limited Warranty may not cover damage to the fuel
system and performance problems that are
caused by the use of methanol or fuels
containing methanol.
B010E01A-AAT

SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS
All occupants of the vehicle should wear their
seat belts at all times. Indeed, your province's
laws may require that some or all occupants of
the vehicle use seat belts.
The possibility of injury or the severity of injury
in an accident will be decreased if this elementary safety precaution is observed. In addltlon,
the following recommendations are made:.
B150B01A GAT
Infant or Small Child
Some countries require the use of child restraint systems for infants and small chlldren.
Whether this is required by law or not, it is
strongly recommended that a child restraint
seat or infant restraint system be used for
infants or small children weighing less than 18
kilograms (40 pounds).
B150C01A-AAT
Larger Children
It is recommended that all children who are too
large for child seats 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 move the belt
out of position.
If the larger child (over age 13) is in the front
seat, the child should be securely restrained by
the seat belt. Under no circumstances should
the child be allowed to stand or kneel on the
seat. 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.
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, it should be placed as low and
snugly as possible on the hips, not across the
abdomen. Forspecific recommendations, consult a physician.
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.
ZB090F1-A
One Person Per Belt
Two people (including children) should never
attempt to use a single seat belt. This could
increase the severity of injuries in case of an
accident.
B150Q01AAAT
Do Not Lie Down
To reduce the chance of injuries in the event of
an accident, and to achieve maximum effectiveness of the restraint system, all passengers
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
should be sitting up and the front seats should
be in an upright position when the car is mov-
ing. A seat belt cannot provide proper protecfion if the person is lying down in the rear seat
or if the front seat is in a reclined position.
WARNING:
Sitting in a reclined position or lying down
when your vehicle is in motion can be dangerous. Even If you buckle up, your safety
belts can't do thelr job when you're reclined.
The shoulder belt can't do Its job because it
won't be agalnst your body. Instead, it wlll
be in front of you. In a crash you could go
into it, recelving serious neck or other inju-
ries.
The lap belt can't do its job either. In a crash
the belt could go up over your abdomen.
The belt forces would be there, not at your
pelvlc bones.
This could cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protectlon when the vehicle is in
motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit
back in the seat and wear your safety belt
properly.
B160A01A-AAT
CARE OF SEAT BELTS
Seat beltsystems should never be disassembled
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 damage the
seat belt webbing or buckle. Be sure that the
webbing or buckle does not get caught or
pinched in the rear seat.
B160B01A-AAT
Periodic Inspectfon
It is recommended that all seat belts be inspected periodically for wear or damage of any
kind. Parts of the system that are damaged
should be replaced as soon as possible.
B160C01A-AAT
Keep Belts Clean and Dry
Seat belts should be kept clean and dry. If belts
become dirty, they can be cleaned using a mild
soap solution and warm water. Bleach, dye,
strong detergents or abrasives should not be
used because they may damage and weaken
thefabric.
B160D01A-AAT
When to Replace Seat Belts
Entire in-use seat belt assembly or assemblies
should be replaced if the vehicle has been
involved in an accident. This should be done
even if no damage is visible. Additional ques-
tions concerning seat belt operation should be
directed to your Hyundai Dealer.
AB9SOA3-B
HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE FRONT SEAT
SHOULDER BELT (If installed)
You can adjust the height of the shoulder belt
anchor to one of the 4 positions.
If the height of the adjusting seat belt is too near
your neck, you will not be getting the most
effective protection. The shoulder 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 seat belt anchor, lower
or raise the height adjuster into an appropriate
position when the height adjuster button is
pushed.

with Emergency Locking Retractor
To Fasten Your 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.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to the proper length only after the lap belt is adjusted
manually so that it fits snugly around your hips.
If you lean forward in a slow, easy motion, the
belt will extend and let you move around. If
there is a sudden stop or impact, however, the
belt will lock into position. It will also lock if you
try to lean forward too quickly. Check to make
sure that the belt is property locked and that the
belt is not twisted.
B200A01S-QAT
Adjusting Your Seat Belt
You should place the belt as low as possible on
your hips, not on your waist. If the belt is located
too high on your body, you could slide under it
in case of accident or a sudden stop. This could

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
(If installed)
Children riding in the car should sit in the rear
seat and must always be restrained to minimize
the risk of injury in an accident, sudden stop or
sudden maneuver. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats than in the front seat.
Larger children should use one of the seat belts
provided.
You are required by law to use safety restraints
for children. If small children ride in your vehicle
you must put them in a child restraint system
(safety seat).
For smaller children, you must use a commercially available child restraint system that meets
the requirements of ECE-R(Economic Commission of Europe-Regulation)-16.
Children could be injured in a crash if their
restraints are not properly secured. For small
children and babies, a child seat or infant seat
must be used. Before buying a particular child
restraint system, make sure it fits your car seat
and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all the
instructions provided by the manufacturer when
installing the child restraint system.
WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be placed
in the rear seat. Never install a child or
infant seat on the front passenger's seat.
Should an accident occur and cause the
1-14
passenger side airbag to deploy, it could
severely injure or klll 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 sys-
tem 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.
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 the case of a sudden stop or
an accident.
o Children who are too large to be in a
child restraint should slt In the rear seat
and be restrained with the available lap/
shoulder belts.
o Always make sure that the shoulder belt
portion of the outboard lap/shoulder belt
Is positloned midway over the shoulder,
never across the neck. Movlng the child
closer to the center of the vehicle may
help provide a good shoulder belt f it. The
lap belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt
or the center seat lap belt must always be
positioned as low as possible on the
child's hips and as snug as possible.
o If the seat belt will not properly fit the
child, we recommend the use of an approved booster seat In the rear seat in
order to raise the child's seating height
so that the seat belt will properly fit the
child. Before purchasing a booster seat,
make sure that it meets appllcable ECE
R-16 and that It Is satlsfactory for use
with thls vehicle.
o Never allow a child to stand up or kneel
on the seat.
o Never use an infant carrler or child safety
seat that "hooks" over a seatback; it may
not provide adequate security in an accident.
o Never allow a child tobeheldinaperson's
arms while they are in a moving vehicle,
as this could result in serious injury to
the child In the event of an accident or a
sudden stop. Holding a child In a moving
vehicle does not provide the child with
any means of protection durlng an accident, even If the person holding the child
is wearing a seat belt.

Installation on Outboard Rear Seats
On outboard rear seats
To install a child restraint system in the outboard rear seats, extend the shoulder/lap belt
from its retractor. 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 shoulder portion of the
belt is positioned so that it cannot interfere with
the child's head or neck. After installation 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 automatteally revert back to its normal seated
passenger emergency locking usage condition.
NOTE:
o Before installlng the child restraint sys-
tem, read the instructlons supplied by
the child restraint system manufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate as de-
scrlbed, have the system checked Immediately by your authorized Hyundai dealer.

Pre-tensioner Seat Belt
(Without A/BAG)
Ordinarily the pre-tensioner seat belt operates
in the same way as E.L.R (Emergency Locking
Retractor) type (When vehicles stop sudden-
ly, the belt will lock into the position. It will
also lock If you try to lean forward too
qulckly.). However, when vehicles crash, the
retractor rewinds the belt webbing. This will
restrain the passenger movement quickly and
also reduce the slack between passenger and
belt webbing.
NOTE:
o When the pre-tensioner seat belt Is acti-
vated, there may be an exploslon nolse.
Thls nolse Is normal and Is not hazard-
ous.
o Pre-tensioner seat belt Is deslgned to
operate only when a sufflciently severe
Impact occurs and It will be only operat-
ed once.
WARNING:
If the pre-tensioner seat belt was actlvated,
never attempt to replace it by yourself. It
must be replaced by an authorized Hyundai
Dealer.
B180B04A-GAT
Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt (With A/BAG)
Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with driver's
and front Passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts.
The purpose of the pre-tensioner is to make
sure that the seat belts fit tightly against the
occupant's body in certain frontal collisions.
The pre-tensioner seat belts can be activated
alone or, where the frontal collision is severe
enough, together with the airbags.
The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in the
same way as an Emergency Locking Retractor
(ELR) type of seat belt. When the vehicle stops
suddenly, or if the occupant tries to lean for-
ward too quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock
into position. However, in certain frontal collisions, the pre-tensioner will activate and pull
the seat belt into tighter contact against the
occupant's body.

The seat belt pre-tensioner system consists
mainly of the following components. Their loca-
tions are shown in the illustration.
1. SRS airbag waming light
2. Seat belt pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module
WARNING:
To obtain maximum benefit from a pretensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn correctly.
2. The seat belt must be adjusted to the
correct position.
NOTE:
o Both the driver's and front passenger's
pre-tensioner seat belts will be activated

severe enough, together wtth the alrbags.
The pre-tensioners wlll be activated under these conditions even if the seat
belts are not being worn at the time of
the collision.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts are
activated, a loud noise may be heard and
fine dust, which may appear to be smoke,
may be vislble 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 perlods. Wash
your hands and face thoroughly after an
accldent in which the pre-tensloner seat
belts were activated.
CAUTION:
o Because the sensor that activates the
SRS airbag is connected wlth the pre-
tensioner seat belt, the SRS airbag warn-
Ing light |^on the instrument panel wlll
bllnk for approximately 6 seconds after
the ignition key has been turned to the
"ON" or "ACC" positions, and then it
should turn off.
o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not work-
ing properly, this warning light will illuminate even if there is no malfunctlon of
the SRS airbag system.
If the SRS airbag warning llght does not
llluminate when the Ignition key Is turned
to "ON" or "ACC", or if it remains llluml-
1-18
nated after blinklng for approximately 6
seconds, or If It illuminates while the
vehicle is being driven, please have an
authorized Hyundai deaier inspect the
pre-tensioner seat belt or SRS airbag
system as soon as possible.
WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to operate
only one tlme. After activation, pretensioner seat belts must be replaced.
All seat belts, of any type, should always
be replaced after they have been worn
durlng a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly
mechanisms become hot during activation. Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblles for several minutes after
they have been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or replace the

must be done by an authorized Hyundai
deaier.
o Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat belt
assemblies.
o Do not attempt to service or repalr the
pre-tensioner seat belt system In any
manner.
o Improper handling of the pre-tensloner
seat belt assemblles, and failure to heed
the warnings to not strike, modify, inspect, replace, service or repalr the pretensioner seat belt assemblies may lead
to Improper operation or inadvertent activation and serious injury.
o Always wear the seat belts when driving
or riding in a motor vehicle.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
(AIRBAG) SYSTEM (If Installed)
Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supplemental
Restraint (Airbag) System. The indications of
the system's presence are the letters 'SRS AIR
BAG" embossed on the airbag pad cover in the
steering wheel and the passenger's side front
panel pad above the glove box.
The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installed
under the pad covers in the center of the
steering wheel and the passenger's side front
panel above the glove box. The purpose of the
SRS is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the
front passenger with additional protection than
that offered by the seat-belt system alone, in
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
j of a frontal impact of sufficient severity.
FE:
I sure to read information about the SRS
i the labels provlded on the backside of
i sun visor and in the glove box.
VARNING:
As Its name implies, the SRS is designed
to work wtth, and be supplemental to, the
drlver's and the passenger's three point
seat belt systems and is not a substitute
for them. Therefore your seat belts must
be worn at all times while the vehlcle is in
motion. In addltlon, the airbags deploy
only In certain frontal impact conditions
severe enough to likely cause signiflcant
Injury to the vehicle occupants.
The SRS is designed to deploy the airbags
only when an impact is sufficiently severe and when the Impact angle is less
than 30° from the forward longitudinal
axis of the vehlcle and wfll not deploy in
side, rear or rollover impacts. Additionally, the airbags will only deploy once.
Thus, seat belts must be worn at all
tlmes.
For maximum safety protection in all
types of crashes, all occupants Including
the driver should always wear their seat
belts whether or not an airbag is also
provided at their seating posltlon to min-
imize the risk of severe injury or death in
the event of a crash. Do not sit or lean
unnecessarily close to the airbag whlle
the vehicle Is in motion.
o The SRS airbag system must deploy very
rapidly to provlde protection in a crash. If
an occupant is out of posltlon because of
not wearing a seat belt, the airbag may
forcefully contact the occupant causlng
serlous or fatal injuries.
B240B02A-AAT
SRS Components and Functions
The SRS consists of the following components:
- Driver's Side Airbag Module
- Passenger's Side Airbag Module
- Knee Bolster
- SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
The SRSCM continually monitors all elements
while the ignition is "ON" to determine if a
frontal or near-frontal impact is severe enough
to require airbag deployment.
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on
the instrument panel will blink for about 6 seconds after the ignition key is tumed to the "ON"
position or after the engine is started, after
which the SRI should go out.
1-19
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
The airbag modules are located both in the
center of the steering wheel and in the front
passenger's panel above the glove box. When
the SRSCM detects a considerable impact to
the front of the vehicle, it will automatically
deploy the airbags.
Passenger's side Airbag
^
Upon deployment, tearseams molded directly
into the pad covers will separate under pres-
1-20
sure from the expansion of the airbags. Further
opening of the covers then allows full inflation of
the airbags.
A fully inflated airbag in combination with a
property wom seat belt slows the driver's or the
passenger's forward motion, thus reducing the
risk of head and chest injury.
After complete inflation, the airbag immediately
starts deflating, enabling the driverto maintain
forward visibility.
CAUTION:
When installing a contalner of liquld alr
freshener inside a vehicle, do not place it
near the instrument cluster nor on the Instrument panel pad surface. If there is any
leakage from the air freshener onto these
areas (instrument cluster, instrument panel
pad or air ventilator), it may damage these
parts. If the liquid from the air freshener
does leak onto these areas, wash them with
water immediately.
WARNING:
o When the SRS Is activated, there may be
a loud noise and flne dust will be released throughout the vehicle. These
conditions are normal and are not hazardous. However, the fine dust generated during airbag deployment may cause
skin Irritatlon. Be sure to wash your hands
and face thoroughly with lukewarm water and a mlld soap after an accident in
which the airbags were deployed.
o The SRS can function only when the
ignition key Is in the "ON" posltion. If the
SRS SRI does not come on, or continuously remains on, after flashing for ataout
6 seconds when the ignition keyisturned
to the "ON" position, or after the engine
is started, or comes on while drlving, the
SRS Is not working properly. If this occurs, have your vehicle immediately inspected by your Hyundai dealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or disconnect
a battery terminal, turn the ignition key to
the "LOCK" position or remove the ignition key. Never remove or replace the air
bag related fuse(s) when the Ignition key
is In the "ON" position. Failure to heed
this warning will cause the SRS SRI to
illuminate.

Side Airbag (If installed)
Your Hyundai is equipped with a side airbag in
each front seat. The purpose of the airbag is to
provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front
passenger with additional protection than that
offered by the seatbelt 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 air bags are not designed to deploy in
all side impact situations.

WARNING:
o For best protection from the side airbag
system and to avoid being Injuries by the
deploying side airbag, both front seat
occupants should sit in an upright posi-
tion with the seat belt properly fastened.
The driver's hands should be placed on
the steering wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00
o'clock positions. The passenger's arms
and hands should be placed In thelr laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat covers.

SRS Care
The SRS is virtuaJly maintenance-free and there
are no parts you can safely service by yourself.
The entire SRS system must be inspected by
an authorized Hyundai dealer 10 years after the
date that the vehicle was manufactured.
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. Improper handling of
the SRS system may result in serious personal
injury.
