We want to help you get the greatest possible driving pleasure from your vehi­cle. Your Owner’s Manual can assist you in many ways. We strongly recommend that you read the entire manual. In order to minimize the chance of death or injury, you must read the WARNING and CAU­TION sections in the manual.
Illustrations complement the words in this manual to best explain how to enjoy your vehicle. By reading your manual, you will learn about features, important safety information, and driving tips under vari­ous road conditions.
The general layout of the manual is pro­vided in the Table of Contents. A good place to start is the index; it has an alpha­betical listing of all information in your manual.
Sections: This manual has eight sections plus an index. Each section begins with a brief list of contents so you can tell at a glance if that section has the information you want.
You’ll find various WARNINGS, CAU­TIONS, and NOTICES in this manual. These were prepared to enhance your personal safety. You should carefully read and follow ALL procedures and recom­mendations provided in these WARN­INGS, CAUTIONS and NOTICES.
NOTICE
A NOTICE indicates interesting or help­ful information is being provided.
Your new vehicle is designed to use only unleaded fuel having a pump octane number((RTM)/2) of 87 or higher.
Your new vehicle is designed to obtain maximum performance with UNLEADED FUEL, as well as minimize exhaust emis­sions and spark plug fouling.
HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
WARNING
A WARNING indicates a situation in which harm, serious bodily injury or death could result if the warning is ignored.
CAUTION
A CAUTION indicates a situation in which damage to your vehicle could result if the caution is ignored.
CAUTION
Never add any fuel system cleaning agents to the fuel tank other than what has been specified. (Consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for details.)
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
13
Introduction
A020103AUN
Gasoline containing alcohol and methanol
Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and ethanol (also known as grain alcohol), and gasoline or gasohol containing methanol (also known as wood alcohol) are being marketed along with or instead of leaded or unleaded gasoline.
Do not use gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol, and do not use gasoline or gasohol containing any methanol. Either of these fuels may cause drivability prob­lems and damage to the fuel system.
Discontinue using gasohol of any kind if drivability problems occur.
Vehicle damage or driveability problems may not be covered by the manufactur­er’s warranty if they result from the use of:
1. Gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol.
2. Gasoline or gasohol containing methanol.
3. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.
"E85" fuel is an alternative fuel com­posed of 85 percent ethanol and 15 per­cent gasoline, and is manufactured exclusively for use in Flexible Fuel Vehicles. “E85” is not compatible with your vehicle. Use of “E85” may result in poor engine performance and damage to your vehicle's engine and fuel system. HYUNDAI recommends that customers do not use fuel with an ethanol content exceeding 10 percent.
WARNING
• Do not "top off" after the nozzle automatically shuts off when refueling.
• Tighten the cap until it clicks one time, otherwise the Check Engine
light will illuminate.
• Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to prevent fuel spillage in the event of an acci­dent.
CAUTION
Never use gasohol which contains methanol. Discontinue use of any gasohol product which impairs dri­vability.
CAUTION
Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover damage to the fuel system or any performance prob­lems caused by the use of “E85” fuel.
Introduction
41
A020105BUN
Do not use methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood alco­hol) should not be used in your vehicle. This type of fuel can reduce vehicle per­formance and damage components of the fuel system.
Gasolines for cleaner air
To help contribute to cleaner air, 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.
A020107AUN
Operation in foreign countries
If you are going to drive your vehicle in another country, be sure to:
• Observe all regulations regarding reg­istration and insurance.
• Determine that acceptable fuel is avail­able.
As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control, an accident or vehicle rollover.
Specific design characteristics (higher ground clearance, track, etc.) give this vehicle a higher center of gravity than other types of vehicles. It is not designed for cornering at the same speeds as con­ventional 2-wheel drive vehicles. Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers. Again, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control, an accident or vehicle rollover. Be sure to read the
“Reducing the risk of a rollover” driv­ing guidelines, in section 5 of this manual.
CAUTION
Your 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.
VEHICLE HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS

Introduction
VEHICLE BREAK-IN PROCESS
A030000AUN
No special break-in period is needed. By following a few simple precautions for the first 600 miles (1,000 km) you may add to the performance, economy and life of your vehicle.
• Do not race the engine.
• While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm, or revolutions per minute) between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.
• Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time, either fast or slow. Varying engine speed is needed to properly break-in the engine.
• Avoid hard stops, except in emergen­cies, to allow the brakes to seat prop­erly.
• Don't let the engine idle longer than 3 minutes at one time.
• Don't tow a trailer during the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) of operation.
A040000AFD
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main pur­pose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hit­ting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehi­cle's systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehi­cle is designed to record such data as:
* How various systems in your vehicle
were operating:
* Whether or not the driver and pas-
senger safety belts were buckled/fastened;
* How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
* How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a nontrivial crash situa­tion occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving condi­tions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash loca­tion) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, spe­cial equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed.
In addition to the vehicle manufactur­er, other parties, such as law enforce­ment, that have the special equip­ment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

WARNING - Driver’s seat
• Never attempt to adjust seat while the vehicle is moving. This could result in loss of control, and an accident causing death, serious injury, or property dam­age.
• Do not allow anything to interfere with the normal position of the seatback. Storing items against a seatback or in any other way interfering with proper locking of a seatback could result in serious or fatal injury in a sudden stop or collision.
• Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap por­tion of the seat belt snug and low across the hips. This is the best position to protect you in case of an accident.
• In order to avoid unnecessary and perhaps severe air bag injuries, always sit as far back as possible from the steering wheel while maintaining comfortable control of the vehicle. It is recom­mended that your chest is at least 10 inches (250 mm) away from the steering wheel.
WARNING - Uprighting
seat
When you return the seatback to its upright position, hold the seatback and return it slowly and be sure there are no other occupants around the seat. If the seatback is returned without being held and controlled, the back of the seat could spring forward resulting in accidental injury to a person struck by the seatback.
WARNING - Loose objects
Loose objects in the driver’s foot area could interfere with the opera­tion of the foot pedals, possibly causing an accident. Do not place anything under the front seats.
WARNING - Driver respon-
sibility for front seat pas­senger
Riding in a vehicle with a front seat­back reclined could lead to serious or fatal injury in an accident. If a front seat is reclined during an accident, the occupant’s hips may slide under the lap portion of the seat belt, applying great force to the unprotected abdomen. Serious or fatal internal injuries could result. The driver must advise the front passenger to keep the seatback in an upright position whenever the vehicle is in motion.
WARNING
Do not use a sitting cushion that reduces friction between the seat and passenger. The passenger's hips may slide under the lap por­tion of the seat belt during an acci­dent or a sudden stop. Serious or fatal internal injuries could result because the seat belt can't operate normally.

(Continued)
• When resetting the seatback to the upright position, make sure it is securely latched by pushing it forward and rearwards.
• To avoid the possibility of burns, do not remove the carpet in the cargo area. Emission control devices beneath this floor gener­ate high temperatures.
WARNING - Rear seat-
backs
• The rear seatback must be securely latched. If not, passen­gers and objects could be thrown forward resulting in serious injury or death in the event of a sudden stop or collision.
• Luggage and other cargo should be laid flat in the cargo area. If objects are large, heavy, or must be piled, they must be secured. Under no circumstances should cargo be piled higher than the seatbacks. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious injury or death in the event of a sudden stop, collision or rollover.
• No passenger should ride in the cargo area or sit or lie on folded seatbacks while the vehicle is moving. All passengers must be properly seated in seats and restrained properly while riding.
(Continued)
WARNING
After adjusting the seat, always check that it is securely locked into place by attempting to move the seat forward or rearward without using the lock release lever. Sudden or unexpected movement of the driver's seat could cause you to lose control of the vehicle, resulting in an accident.
WARNING
• Do not adjust the seat while wear­ing seat belts. Moving the seat cushion forward may cause strong pressure on the abdomen.
• Use extreme caution so that hands or other objects are not caught in the seat mechanisms while the seat is moving.
• Do not put a cigarette lighter on the floor or seat. When you oper­ate the seat, gas may gush out of the lighter and cause fire.

CAUTION
• The power seat is driven by an electric motor. Stop operating once the adjustment is complet­ed. Excessive operation may damage the electrical equipment.
• When in operation, the power seat consumes a large amount of electrical power. To prevent unnecessary charging system drain, don’t adjust the power seat longer than necessary while the engine is not running.
• Do not operate two or more power seat control switches at the same time. Doing so may result in power seat motor or electrical component malfunction.
