B010A01A-GAT
FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
Use Unleaded Gasoline
B010A01X
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 larger nozzle used with leaded gasoline at
service stations can not be inserted into fuel tank
opening of Hyundai vehicle.
NOTE:
o For some countries, 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 vehicle is available or not.
o Octane Rating of leaded gasoline is same
with unleaded one.
B010B01A-AAT
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 drive ability problems, the use of 100%
unleaded gasoline is recommended. Fuels with
unspecified quantities of alcohol, or alcohols
other than ethanol, should not be used.
B010D01S-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
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 the Emission Control
System performance.
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 registra-
tion and insurance.
o Determine that acceptable fuel is available.
B020A01X-GAT
BREAKING IN YOUR NEW HYUNDAI
During the First 2,000 km (1,200 Miles)
No formal "break-in" procedure is required with
your new Hyundai. However, you can contribute
to the economical operation and durability of your
Hyundai by observing the following recommendations during the first 2,000 km (1,200 miles).
o Don't drive faster than 88 km/h (55 mph).
o While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm,
or revolutions per minute) between 2000 and
4000 rpm.
o Use moderate acceleration. Don't start quickly
or depress the accelerator pedal fully.

1- 1
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
o For the first 300 km (200 miles), 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
for a catalytic converter-equipped engine.
B030A01A-AAT
KEYS
AS10030A
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.
B030B01A-AAT
Record Your Key Number
AS10040A
A code number is stamped on the number plate
that came with the keys to your Hyundai. This
key number plate 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.
B880A01A-GAT
IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
(If Installed)
The immobilizer system is an anti-theft device,
designed to deter automobile theft.
B880B03A-GAT
Keys
AX10020A-1
All of the locks fitted to the vehicle are operated
by the same key. However, since it is possible to
lock the doors without the use of the key, care
should be exercised to ensure that the key does
not become locked inside the vehicle by mistake.
NOTE:
If you make your own duplicate key, you will
not be able to cancel the system or start the
engine.
1- 2
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
B880C02A-GAT
Key Numbers
AX10030A-1
The vehicle key number is recorded upon a
metal tag attached to the keys when the vehicle
is first delivered to you.
The key number should be recorded and kept in
a safe place in case the need to order further
keys arises. New keys are available from any
Hyundai dealer by quoting the relevant key number.
In the interest of security, the metal tag attached
to the keys which bears the key number should
be removed from the key ring after you receive
your new vehicle. In addition, key numbers cannot be provided by Hyundai for security reasons.
If you need additional keys or if you should lose
your keys, your authorized Hyundai dealer can
make new keys.
B880D02A-GAT
Limp home procedures
B880D01X
In case the immobilizer warning indicator blinks
for five seconds when the ignition key is turned to
"ON" position, this indicates that the immobilizer
system is out of order. And you cannot start the
engine without the limp home procedures with
ignition key.
The following procedure is how to start the engine with the function of the limp home. (0, 1, 2,
3 as a sample password).
NOTE:
You can get the limp home password when
the vehicle is first delivered to you. If you do
not have the password, consult your authorized Hyundai dealer.
1. To set the password you may turn the ignition
key "ON" and then turn it "OFF" according to
the digit numbers, then the immobilizer indicator will blink along with the operation of the
ignition key. For example, turn the ignition key
once for digit number "1", and twice for "2",
and so on. However, for the digit number "0",
you must turn the ignition key for 10 times.
2. Wait for 3~10 seconds.
3. You may set the remaining number of digits
by following the same procedures 1 and 2.
4. If all of four digits have been tried successfully, turn the ignition key "ON" and check that
the immobilizer indicator illuminates. From
this time, you have to start your engine within
30 seconds. If you start your engine after 30
seconds, your engine will not start.
NOTE:
If the engine dies while driving after limp
home procedure, you can start your engine
within 8 seconds without limp home procedure again.
5. If the immobilizer indicator blinks for five
seconds, you have to try the limp home
procedure again from the beginning.
After doing the limp home procedure, you have to
consult with your authorized Hyundai dealer as
soon as possible.
1- 3
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
CAUTION:
o If you fail to try the limp home procedure
with the sequence of three times, you
have to wait for about one hour to do the
limp home procedure again.
o If you cannot start your engine in spite of
limp home procedure, have your vehicle
towed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
B040A01A-AAT
DOOR LOCKS
WARNING:
o Unlocked doors can be dangerous. Be-
fore 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 inadvertently
opened from the inside. This helps ensure
that doors will not be opened accidentally.
Also, when combined 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.

SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS
All occupants of the vehicle should wear their
seat belts at all times. Indeed, your local's laws
may require that some or all occupants of the
vehicle use seat belts.
1- 7
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
The possibility of injury or the severity of injury in
an accident will be decreased if this elementary
safety precaution is observed. In addition, the
following recommendations are made:
B150B01A-GAT
Infant or Small Child
Some countries require the use of child restraint
systems for infants and small children. 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
Children who are too large for child restraint
systems should 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. Never
allow children to ride in the front passenger seat.
1- 8
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 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.
B150F01A-AAT
One Person Per Belt
Two people (including children) should never
attempt to use a single seat belt. This could
increase the severity of injuries in case of an
accident.
B150G01A-AAT
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
should be sitting up and the front seats should be
in an upright position when the car is moving. A
seat belt cannot operate properly 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 seat belts
can't do their job when you're reclined.
The shoulder belt can't do its job because it
won't be against your body. Instead, it will be
in front of you. In a crash you could go into it
with great force, receiving serious neck or
other injuries.
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 applied there, not at your
pelvic bones.
This could cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is in
motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit
well back in the seat and wear your seat belt
properly.
B160A01S-GAT
CARE OF SEAT BELTS
Seat belt systems 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.
B160B01A-AAT
Periodic Inspection
It is recommended that all seat belts be inspected
periodically for wear or damage of any kind.
Parts of the system that are damaged should be
replaced as soon as possible.
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
B160C01A-AAT
Keep Belts Clean and Dry
Seat belts should be kept clean and dry. If belts
become dirty, they can be cleaned by using a
mild soap solution and warm water. Bleach, dye,
strong detergents or abrasives should not be
used because they may damage and weaken
the fabric.
B160D01A-AAT
When to Replace Seat Belts
The entire 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 questions
concerning seat belt operation should be directed to your Hyundai Dealer.
B170A03X-GAT
HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE FRONT SEAT
SHOULDER BELT (If installed)

they are inserted into the correct buckle to
obtain maximum protection from the seat
belt system and assure proper operation.
B230A02P-GAT
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).
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
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.
1- 11
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
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, 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 sit in the rear seat and be
restrained with the available lap/shoulder
belts. Never allow children to ride in the
front passenger seat.
o Always make sure that the shoulder belt
portion of the outboard lap/shoulder belt
is positioned midway over the shoulder,
never across the neck. Moving the child
closer to the center of the vehicle may help
provide a good shoulder belt fit. 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.
o Never allow a child to stand up or kneel on
the seat.
o Never use an infant carrier or child safety
seat that "hooks" over a seatback; it may
1- 12
not provide adequate security in an accident.
o Never allow a child to be held in a person'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 during an accident, even if the person holding the child
is wearing a seat belt.

Installation on Outboard Rear Seats
On outboard rear seats
YR10400B
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
automatically revert back to its normal seated
passenger emergency locking usage condition.
NOTE:
o Before installing the child restraint sys-
tem, read the instructions supplied by the
child restraint system manufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate as de-
scribed, have the system checked immediately by your authorized Hyundai dealer.
WARNING:
Do not install any child restraint system 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.

Pre-tensioner Seat Belt (If installed)
Ordinarily the pre-tensioner seat belt operates in
the same way as E.L.R (Emergency Locking
Retractor) type (When vehicles stop suddenly,
the belt will lock into the position. It will also
lock if you try to lean forward too quickly.).
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 explosion noise.
This noise is normal and is not hazardous.
o Pre-tensioner seat belt is designed to op-
erate only when a sufficiently severe impact occurs and it will be only operated
once.
WARNING:
If the pre-tensioner seat belt was activated,
never attempt to replace it by yourself. It must
be replaced by an authorized Hyundai Dealer.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
(AIRBAG) SYSTEM (If installed)
AS10356A
Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supplemental
Restraint (Airbag) System. The indications of the
system's presence are the letters "SRS AIRBAG"
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 the front passenger with additional protection when used together with the seat belt, in case of a frontal
impact.
NOTE:
Be sure to read information about the SRS on
the labels provided on the backside of the
sun visor and in the glove box.
1- 13
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is designed
to work with, and be supplemental to, the
driver'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 vehicle is in
motion. The airbags deploy only in certain
frontal impact conditions severe enough
to likely cause significant injury to the
vehicle occupants.
o 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
vehicle and will not deploy in side, rear or
rollover impacts. Additionally, the airbags
will only deploy once. Thus, seat belts
must be worn at all times.
Rear impact
Side impact
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy
in side-impact, rear-impact or rollover
1- 14
Rollover

crashes. In addition, airbags will not deploy in frontal crashes below the deployment threshold speed.
o The driver should sit back as far as possi-
ble while still maintaining control of the
vehicle. If you are sitting too close to the
airbag, it can cause death or serious injury
when it inflates.
o No objects should be placed over or near
the airbag modules on the steering 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 deploy.
o If the airbags deploy, they must be re-
placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
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 firing of the airbags or
by rendering the SRS inoperative.
o 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. The infant or child could be
severely injured or killed by an airbag
deployment in case of an accident.
Do not allow children to ride in the front
passenger seat. If also children(teenagers
and older) must ride in the front seat,
make sure they are always properly belted
and that the seat is moved back as far as
possible.
o 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 position to minimize the
risk of severe injury or death in the event
of a crash. Do not sit or lean unnecessarily
close to the airbag while the vehicle is in
motion.
o The SRS airbag system must deploy very
rapidly to provide protection in a crash. If
an occupant is out of position because of
not wearing a seat belt, the airbag may
forcefully contact the occupant causing
serious or fatal injuries.
B240B03A-AAT
SRS Components and Functions
FUA1111B
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
The SRS consists of the following components:
- Driver's Airbag Module
- Passenger's Airbag Module
- 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.
FUA1112A
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on the
instrument panel will blink for about 6 seconds
after the ignition key is turned to the "ON"
position or after the engine is started, after which
the SRI should go out.
FUA1113A
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.
B240B04X
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.
A fully inflated airbag in combination with a properly worn seat belt slows the driver's or the
passenger's forward motion, thus reducing the
risk of head or chest injury.
After complete inflation, the airbag immediately
starts deflating, enabling the driver to maintain
forward visibility.
FUA1115A
CAUTION:
When installing a container of liquid air 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
1- 15
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
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 fine dust will be released
through out the vehicle. These conditions
are normal and are not hazardous. However, the fine dust generated during airbag
deployment may cause skin irritation. Be
sure to wash your hands and face 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 igni-
tion key is in the "ON" position. If the SRS
SRI does not come on, or continuously
remains on, after flashing for about 6 seconds when the ignition key is turned to
the "ON" position, or after the engine is
started, or comes on while driving, 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.
1- 16
B240C01Y-GAT
SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free and so
there are no parts you can safely service by
yourself. The entire SRS system must be inspected by an authorized Hyundai dealer in 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.
YT10355A
WARNING:
o Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward
facing child restraint on a seat protected
by an airbag in front of it!
o Modification to SRS components or wir-
ing, including the addition of any kind of
badges to the pad covers or modifications
to the body structure, can adversely affect
SRS performance 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 system.
o No objects should be placed over or near
the airbag modules on the steering 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 re-
placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
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 firing of the airbags or
by rendering the SRS inoperative.
o 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. The infant or child
could be severely injured by an airbag
deployment in case of an accident.
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 precautions and can give you the
necessary information. Failure to follow
these precautions and procedures could
increase the risk of personal injury.
o If you sell your vehicle, be sure to inform
the new owner of these important points
and make certain that this manual is transferred to the new owner.
o If your car was flooded and has soaked
carpeting or water on flooring, you
shouldn't try to start engine; have the car
towed to authorized Hyundai dealer.

on, then go out when the engine is started. If
the oil pressure warning light stays on while
the engine is running, there is a serious
malfunction.
If this happens, stop the car as soon as it is
safe to do so, turn off the engine and check
the oil level. If the oil level is low, fill the engine
oil to the proper level and start the engine
again. If the light stays on with the engine
running, turn the engine off immediately. In
any instance where the oil light stays on
when the engine is running, the engine should
be checked by an Hyundai dealer before the

Parking Brake/Brake Fluid Level
Warning Light
WARNING:
If you suspect brake trouble, have your brakes
checked by a Hyundai dealer as soon as
possible. Driving your car with a problem in
either the brake electrical system or brake
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
hydraulic system is dangerous, and could
result in serious injury or death.
Warning Light Operation
The parking brake/brake fluid level warning light
should come on when the parking brake is applied and the ignition switch is turned to "ON" or
"START". After the engine is started, the light
should go out when the parking brake is released.
If the parking brake is not applied, the warning
light should come on when the ignition switch is
turned to "ON" or "START", then go out when the
engine starts. If the light comes on at any other
time, you should slow the vehicle and bring it to
a complete stop in a safe location off the roadway.
The brake warning light indicates that the brake
fluid level in the brake master cylinder is low and
hydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or
DOT 4 specifications should be added. After
adding fluid, if no other trouble is found, the car
should be immediately and carefully driven
to a Hyundai dealer for inspection. If further
trouble is experienced, the vehicle should not be
driven at all but taken to a dealer by a professional towing service or some other safe method.
Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-diagonal
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 half 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.
B260J01S-GAT
