FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
Use Unleaded Gasoline
UNLEADED
FUEL ONLY
B010A01L-1
Unleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane Rating of 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or
higher must be used in your Hyundai.
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 cannot be inserted into the fuel
tank opening of your Hyundai.
WARNING:
o Do not "TOP-OFF" after the first nozzle
shut off when refueling.
o The fuel cap must be tightened at least 3
clicks, otherwise " " light may illuminate.
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 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 containing
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 reduce vehicle performance and produce vapor lock or hard starting.
B010D01A-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 any performance problems that
are caused by the use of fuels containing
methanol or fuels containing MTBE (Methyl
Tertiary Butyl Ether) over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight.)
B010E01A-AAT
Gasolines for Cleaner Air
To help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai recommends that you use gasolines treated with
detergent additives, which help prevent deposit
formation in the 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.

BREAKING IN YOUR NEW HYUNDAI
During the First 1,200 Miles (2,000
Km)
No formal “break-in” procedure is required with
your new Hyundai. However, you can contribute to the economical operation and durability of
your Hyundai by observing the following recommendations during the first 1,200 miles (2,000
km).
o Don't drive faster than 55 MPH (88 km/h).
o While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm,
or revolutions per minute) between 2,000
rpm and 4,000 rpm.
o Use moderate acceleration. Don't start quick-
ly 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 min-
utes at one time.
o Don't tow a trailer during the first 1,200 miles
(2,000 km) of operation.
B030A01Y-AAT
KEYS
Master key
For greater convenience, your Hyundai has two
master keys and a sub key. The master keys
will open all locks on your vehicle. The sub key
will only function in the ignition and the door
locks.
Leaving your sub key with a parking attendant
will ensure that your vehicle's trunk, trunk lid
release, glovebox compartment and rear trunk
access may not be unlocked in your absence.
Sub key
B030A01L
NOTE:
Before leaving your sub key with a parking
attendant, make sure that the lock levers of
the rear seat back lock and the trunk lid lock
are switched to the "LOCK" position.
B030B01A-AAT
Record Your Key Number
B030B01L
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.

SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
All occupants of the vehicle must wear their
seat belts at all times. Note that this vehicle
is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint
(Airbag) System as discussed beginning on
page 1-21. The seat belts must be used in
conjunction with the supplemental airbag
system. State laws require that some or all
occupants of the vehicle use seat belts. The
possibility of increased injury or severity of
injury in an accident will be increased if this
elementary safety precaution is not observed.
B150B02Y-AAT
Infant or Small Child
All states require small children to use proper
restraints. The child restraint seat or infant
restraint system must be placed in the rear
seat and used for infants or small children
weighing less than 40 pounds. Information about
the use of such restraints begins on page 1-17.
Such restraints must only be used in the rear
seat.
WARNING:
Every person in your vehicle needs to be
buckled up at all times, including infants
and children. In a collision, an unrestrained
child can become a "missile" inside the car.
The force required to hold a child on your
lap could be so great that you could not
hold the child. Any child riding in the vehicle
should always be in a proper restraint in the
rear seat of the vehicle.
NOTE:
Small children are best protected in an accident when properly restrained in the rear
seat by a child restraint system that meets
the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Before buying any
child restraint system, make sure that it has
a label certifying that it meets Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard 213. The restraint must be
appropriate for your child's height and
weight. Check the label on the child restraint for this information. See page 1-17.
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
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
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.
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 provide proper protection 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 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 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 back in the seat and wear your
safety belt properly.
B160A01A-AAT
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.
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 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.
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.

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 questions
concerning seat belt operation should be directed to your Hyundai Dealer.

HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE FRONT SEAT
SHOULDER BELT (If Installed)
B170A01L
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 the seat belt anchor, lower
or raise the height adjuster into an appropriate
position when the height adjuster button is pushed.
Release the button to lock the anchor into
position. Try sliding the release button to make
sure that it has locked into position.
WARNING:
o The height adjuster must be in the locked
position when the vehicle is moving.
o The misadjustment of height of the shoul-
der belt could reduce the effectiveness
of the seat belt in a crash.

with Emergency Locking Retractor
To Fasten Your Belt
YR10301B
To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the
retractor and insert the metal tab into the buck-
le. There will be an audible “click” when the tab
locks into the buckle.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to the proper length only after the lap belt portion is adjusted manually so that it fits snugly around
your hips. If you lean forward in a slow, easy
motion, the belt will extend and let you move
around. If there is a sudden stop or impact,
however, the belt will lock into position. It will
also lock if you try to lean forward too quickly.
Check to make sure that the belt is properly
locked and that the belt is not twisted.
NOTE:
If the driver's seat belt is not fastened when
the ignition key is in the "ON" position, the
seat belt warning light will flash and the
warning chime will sound for approximately

SEAT BELTS-Front Passenger and
Rear Seat 3-Point System with Combination Locking Retractor
To Fasten Your Belt
YR10321B
Combination retractor type seat belts are installed in the rear seat positions to help accommodate the installation of child restraint systems. Although a combination retractor is also
installed in the front passenger seat position,
Hyundai strongly recommends that children always be seated in the rear seat. NEVER place
any infant restraint system in the front seat of
the vehicle.
This type of seat belt combines the features of
both an emergency locking retractor seat belt
and an automatic locking retractor seat belt. To
fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the retractor
and insert the metal tab into the buckle. There
will be an audible "click" when the tab locks into
the buckle. When not securing a child restraint,
the seat belt operates in the same way as the
driver's seat belt (Emergency Locking Retractor Type). It automatically adjusts to the proper
length only after the lap belt portion of the seat
belt is adjusted manually so that it fits snugly
around your hips. When the seat belt is fully
extended from the retractor to allow the installation of a child restraint system, the seat belt
operation changes to allow the belt to retract,
but not to extend. (Automatic Locking Retractor
Type). See page 1-17.
NOTE:
Although the combination retractor provides
the same level of protection for seated passengers in either emergency or automatic
locking modes, it is recommended 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, allow
the unbuckled seat belt to fully retract.
WARNING:
o For maximum restraint system protec-
tion, the seat belts must always be used
whenever the car is moving.
o Seat belts are most effective when
seatbacks are in the upright position.
o Children must always be seatbelted in
the rear seats. Never allow children to
ride in the front passenger seat.
o The shoulder belt should be positioned
midway over the shoulder nearest the
door for the most effective protection.
Never wear the seat belt under the arm
nearest the door. Wearing the belt under
the arm nearest the door could cause
serious or fatal injuries in an accident.
o Avoid wearing twisted seat belts. A twist-
ed belt can't do its job as well. In a
collision, it could even cut into you. Be
sure the belt is straight and not twisted.
o Be careful not to damage the belt web-
bing or hardware. If the belt webbing or
hardware is damaged, replace it.

B230A01Y-AAT
CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
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 provided by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA), children are
safer when properly restrained in the rear seats
than in the front seat. Larger children 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
(generally children younger than four years and
weighing less than 40 pounds), you must put
them in a child restraint system (safety seat).
You must use a commercially available child
restraint system that meets the requirements of
the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
(FMVSS).
Children could be injured or killed in a crash if
their restraints are not properly secured. For
small children and babies, a child seat or infant
seat must be used. Before buying a particular
child restraint system, make sure it fits your car
seat and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow
all the instructions provided by the manufacturer when installing the child restraint system.
WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be placed
in the rear seat. Never install a child or
infant seat on the front passenger's seat.
Should an accident occur and cause the
passenger side airbag to deploy, it could
severely injure or kill an infant or child
seated in an infant or child seat. Thus,
only use a child restraint in the rear seat
of your vehicle.
o Since a safety belt or child restraint sys-
tem can become very hot if it is left in a
closed vehicle, be sure and 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 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 lap/shoulder belt is positioned midway over the shoulder and
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
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 applicable Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and that
it is satisfactory for use with this vehicle.
o Never allow a child to stand up or kneel
on the seat.
1- 17
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
o Never use an infant carrier or a child
safety seat that "hooks" over a seatback;
it may not provide adequate security in
an accident.
o Never allow a child to be held in a per-
son'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 Rear Seats
B230G01L
To install a child restraint system in the 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 shoulder portion of the belt is positioned
so that it can not interfere with the child's head
or neck. Also, double check to be sure that the
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
retractor has engaged the Automatic Locking
feature by trying to extend webbing out of the
retractor. If the retractor is in the Automatic
Locking mode, the belt will be locked. 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 in any seating position, 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:
o If the retractor is not in the Automatic
Locking mode, the child restraint system
can move when your vehicle turns or
stops abruptly.
o 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.
B180B04S-AAT
Pre-tensioner Seat Belt
B180B01S
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.

B180B02S
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 forward 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 locations are shown in the illustration.
1. SRS airbag warning light
2. Seat belt pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module
1- 19
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
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
in certain frontal collisions. The pretensioner seat belts can be activated alone
or, where the frontal collision is severe
enough, together with the airbags. The
pre-tensioners will 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 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 periods. Wash
your hands and face thoroughly after an
accident in which the pre-tensioner seat
belts were activated.
CAUTION:
o Because the sensor that activates the
SRS airbag is connected with pretensioner seat belt, the SRS airbag warning light on the instrument panel will
blink 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 malfunction of
SRS airbag system. If the SRS airbag
warning light does not illuminate when
the ignition key is turned to "ON" or
"ACC", or if it remains illuminated after
blinking for approximately 6 seconds, or
if it illuminates while the vehicle is being
driven, please have an authorized
Hyundai dealer inspect the pre-tensioner
seat belt or SRS airbag system as soon
as possible.
WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to operate
only one time. After activation, pretensioner 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 assembly
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 yourself. This
must be done by an authorized 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, service or repair 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
Driver's Side Airbag
B240A01L
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.
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. In addition, 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.
o The driver should sit back as far as pos-
sible 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 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 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.
