FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
Use Unleaded Gasoline
B010A01FC-1
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:
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.
Use Diesel
Diesel fuel of 52 to 54 cetane is used in Hyundai
vehicle. If two types of diesel fuel are available,
use summer or winter fuel properly according to
the following temperature conditions.
o Above -5°C (23°F) ... Summer type diesel
fuel.
o Below -5°C (23°F) ... Winter type diesel fuel.
Watch the fuel level in the tank very carefully :
If the engine stops through fuel failure, the
circuits must be completely purged to permit
restarting.
CAUTION:
o Do not let any gasoline or water enter the
tank. This would make it necessary to
drain it out and to bleed the lines to avoid
jamming the injection pump and damaging the engine.
o In winter, in order to cut down incidents
due to freezing, paraffin oil may be added
to the fuel if the temperature drops to
below -10°C. Never use more than 20%
paraffin oil.
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.
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 enhance performance of the Emission Control System.

KEYS
B030A01E
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.
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
B030B01A-AAT
Record Your Key Number
B030B01E
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.

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.
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.

Limp home procedures
B880D01FC
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).

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.
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.

WARNING:
o When you return the folded down seat
back to its upright position, make sure
the seat belts are in position to be accessible and to function properly.
o The purpose of the fold down rear seat
back and the fold forward rear seat cushion is to increase cargo space. Do not
allow passengers to sit in the cargo area
while the car is moving. This is not a
proper seating position and no seat belts
are available for use when the seat back
is folded down. Passengers who are not
properly seated and wearing seat belts
could sustain serious injuries or death in
case of an accident or a sudden stop.
o Objects should not extend higher than
the top of the front seatbacks. This could
allow cargo to slide forward and cause
injury or damage during sudden stops.
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
o When you return the folded down
seatback to its upright position, always
be sure to install the headrests in their
proper positions. Headrests are important to the safety of occupants in a rear
collision. If the headrests are not installed in their proper position, serious
injury or death could result if a rear end
collision occurs.

B150A02A-GAT
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 addition,
the following recommendations are made:
B150B01Y-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).
NOTE:
Small children are best protected in an accident when properly restrained by a child
restraint system.
B150C03A-AAT
Larger Children
Children who are too large for child restraint
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 restrained 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
1- 13
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
of 13 in the front seat. NEVER place a rear
facing child seat in the front seat of a vehicle.
B150D01S-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, it
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
1- 14
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 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 strong 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 seat belt
properly. See page 1-15.
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.
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 questions concerning seat belt operation should be
directed to your Hyundai Dealer.

HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE FRONT SEAT
SHOULDER BELT (If Installed)
B170A01E
You can adjust the height of the shoulder belt
anchor to one of the 4 positions for maximum
comfort and safty.
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. To raise the height adjuster, pull
it up. To lower it, push it down while pressing the
height adjuster button.
Release the button to lock the anchor into
position. Try sliding the height adjuster to make
sure that it has locked into the 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.

B230A04P-GAT
CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
(If Installed)
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 statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seats than in the
front seat. Larger children not in a child restraint
should use one of the seat belts provided.
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 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
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.
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
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.
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 will 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 or behind the
back. 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, Hyundai recommends 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
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.
o If the child restraint seat is not anchored
properly, the risk of a child being seriously injured or killed in a collision
greatly increases.

Installation on Center Rear Seats
HXGS257
Use the center seat belt for the rear to secure
the child restraint system as illustrated. After
installation of the child restraint system, rock
the child seat back and forth, and side to side
to ensure that it is properly secured by the
seat belt.
If the child seat moves, readjust the length of
the seat belt. Then, if equipped, insert the child
restraint tether strap hook into the child restraint hook holder and tighten to secure the
seat. Always refer to the child restraint system manufacturer's recommendation before
installing the child restraint system in your
vehicle.

On outboard rear
seats
YR10400B
To install a child restraint system on the
outboard rear seats, extend the shoulder/lap
belt from its retractor. 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
described, 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's
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.

ISOFIX is a standardised method of fitting
child seats that eliminates the need to use the
standard adult seat belt to secure the seat in
the vehicle. This enables a much more secure and positive location with the added
benefit of easier and quicker installation.
An ISOFIX-seat can only be installed if it has
vehicle-specific approval in accordance with
the requirements of ECE-R44. For your
Hyundai, the Hyundai ISOFIX GR1 / Hyundai
Duo / Römer ISOFIX GR1 and the Römer
Duo ISOFIX / Britax Duo ISOFIX is approved
according to the requirement ECE-R44. This
seat has been tested extensively by Hyundai
and is recommended for your Hyundai.
1- 21
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
NOTE:
At present, this seat is the only one complying with that provision. In case that
other manufacturers will furnish proof of
a respective certification, Hyundai is going to evaluate this seat carefully and will
give a recommendation provided that seat
complies to the law. Please ask your
Hyundai dealer in this respect.
ISOFIX Anchor
B230D02FC-1
On each side of the rear seat, between the
cushion and backrest, are located a pair of
ISOFIX anchorage points together with a top
tether mounting on the luggage compartment.
During the installing, the seat has to be engaged at the anchorage-points in a way you
can hear it clicking (check by pulling!) and has
to be fixed with the Top Tether-belt on the
belonging point in the luggage-compartment.
The installing and the use of a child-seat has
to be done according to the installing-manual,
which is added to the ISOFIX-seat, while
1- 22
using the ISOFIX-child-seat, the rear-bench
not allowed to be moved beyond the middle
position to the forward direction.
NOTE:
An ISOFIX-child-seat can only be installed
if the seat has a vehicle-specific approval
according to ECE-R44. Before using the
ISOFIX-child-seat, which was bought for
another car, ask your Hyundai-dealer
whether this seat-type is approved and
recommended for your Hyundai.
To secure the child restraint seat
B230D03FC
1. To engage the child restraint seat to the
ISOFIX anchor, insert the child restraint
seat latch into the ISOFIX anchor. Listen
for the audible "click" sound.
2. Connect the tether strap hook to the child
restraint hook holder and tighten to secure
the seat. Refer to "Securing a Child Restraint System with the Tether Anchorage
System" on page 1-21.
WARNING:
o Do not install a child restraint seat at the
center of the rear seat using the vehicle's
ISOFIX anchors. The ISOFIX anchors
are only provided for the left and right
outboard rear seating positions. Do not
misuse the ISOFIX anchors by attempting to attach a child restraint seat in the
middle of the rear seat to the ISOFIX
anchors. In a crash, the child restraint
seat ISOFIX attachments may not be
strong enough to secure the child restraint seat properly in the center of the
rear seat and may break, causing serious injury or death.
o Do not mount more than one child re-
straint to a child restraint lower anchorage point. The improper increased load
may cause the anchorage points or
tether anchor to break, causing serious
injury or death.
o Attach the ISOFIX or ISOFIX-compat-
ible child restraint seat only to the appropriate locations shown in the illustration.
o Always follow the installation and use
instructions provided by the manufacturer of the child restraint.
