FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS

2

B010A02A-AAT

Use Unleaded Gasoline

UNLEADED

FUEL ONLY

B010A01O

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.

!

o Do not "TOP-OFF" after the first nozzle
o The fuel cap must be tightened at least

B010B01A-AAT

CAUTION:

shut off when refueling.
3 clicks, otherwise " " light may

illuminate.

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.

!

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.)

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.

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.

B020A01S-AAT

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

quickly or depress the accelerator pedal
fully.

o For the first 200 miles (300 km), try to avoid

hard stops.

o Don't lug the engine (in other words, don't

drive so slowly in too high a gear that the
engine "bucks"-shift to a lower gear).

o Whether going fast or slow, vary your speed

from time to time.

o Don't let the engine idle longer than 3 minutes

at one time.

o Don't tow a trailer during the first 1,200 miles

(2,000 km) of operation.

B030A01A-AAT

B030A01B

For greater convenience, the same key oper­ates all the locks in your Hyundai. However,

Record Your Key Number

B030B01B

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

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.

ILLUMINATED IGNITION SWITCH

SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS

!

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 1-31. 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. In addition, follow the
other instructions provided in this section.

B150B03Y-AAT

WARNING:

Infant or Small Child

All 50 states have child restraint laws. You
should be aware of the specific requirements in
your state. Child and/or infant safety seats must
be properly placed and installed in the rear seat.
Information about the use of these restraints
begins on page 1-24.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

19

!

Every person in your vehicle needs to be
properly restrained 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.

WARNING:

NOTE:

Small children are best protected from in­jury 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 1-24.

B150C02A-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 of 13 in the front seat.
NEVER place a rear facing child seat in the front
seat of a vehicle.

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.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

20

!

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 1-21.

WARNING:

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.

!

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

WARNING:

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.

SEAT BELTS-Front Passenger and Rear
Seat 3-Point System with Combination
Locking Retractor
To Fasten Your Belt

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 1-29.

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:

B230A02O-AAT

Children riding in the car should sit in the rear
seat and must always be properly restrained to
minimize the risk of injury in an accident, sudden
stop or sudden maneuver. According to acci­dent 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 not in a child restraint should use one
of the seat belts provided.
All 50 states have child restraint laws. You
should be aware of the specific requirements in
your state. Child and/or infant safety seats must
be properly placed and installed in the rear seat.
You must use a commercially available child
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.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
(AIRBAG) SYSTEM (SRS)

B240A03F-AAT

Driver's Airbag

B240A01O

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.

SRS Components and Functions

B240B01L

The SRS consists of the following components:

- Driver's Airbag Module

- Passenger's 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 turned to the "ON"
position or after the engine is started, after which
the SRI should go out.

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.

B240B02L

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.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

1

34

B240B03L

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.

When installing a container of liquid air
freshener inside the vehicle, do not place it
near the instrument cluster nor on the in­strument panel surface. If there is any leak­age from the air freshener onto these areas
(Instrument cluster, instrument panel or air

Side Impact Airbag (If installed)

B990B02Y

Your Hyundai is equipped with a side impact
airbag in each front seat. The purpose of the
airbag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or
the front passenger with additional protection
than that offered by the seat belt alone. The side

Parking Brake/Low Brake Fluid
Level Warning Light

!

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 hydraulic system is danger­ous, and could result in a serious injury or
death.

WARNING:

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 fluid level 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.

B260J01A-AAT

Charging System Warning Light

The charging system warning light should come
on when the ignition is turned on, then go out
when the engine is running. If the light stays on
