FUEL REQUIREMENTS

Your new vehicle is designed to use only unleaded fuel having a pump octane number ((R+M)/2) of 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher.

Your new vehicle is designed to obtain maximum performance with UNLEADED FUEL, as well as mini- mize exhaust emissions and spark plug fouling.

Never add any fuel system cleaning agents to the fuel tank other than what has been specified. (Consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for details.)

WARNING - Refueling

• Do not "top off" after the noz- zle automatically shuts off when refueling. Attempts to force more fuel into the tank can cause fuel overflow onto you and the ground causing a risk of fire.

• Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to pre- vent fuel spillage in the event of an accident.

Introduction

Gasoline containing alcohol and methanol

Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and ethanol (also known as grain alco- hol), and gasoline or gasohol con- taining 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 dam- age to the fuel system.

Discontinue using gasohol of any kind if drivability problems occur.

Vehicle damage or drivability prob- lems 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.

Introduction

"E85" fuel is an alternative fuel com- prised of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline, and is manufac- tured exclusively for use in Flexible Fuel Vehicles. “E85” is not compati- ble with your vehicle. Use of “E85” may result in poor engine perform- ance 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.

✽✽

NOTICE

Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover damage to the fuel system or any performance prob- lems caused by the use of “E85” fuel.

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.

✽✽

NOTICE

Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty may not cover damage to the fuel system and any performance prob- lems that are caused by the use of fuels containing methanol.

Fuel Additives

HYUNDAI recommends that you use good quality gasolines treated with detergent additives such as TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline, which help prevent deposit formation in the engine. These gasolines will help the engine run cleaner and enhance per- formance of the Emission Control System. For more information on TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline, please go to the website (www.toptiergas.com)

For customers who do not use TOP Tier Detergent Gasoline regularly, and have problems starting their vehicle or the engine does not run smoothly, additives that you can buy separately may be added to the gasoline.

If TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is not available, one bottle of additive added to the fuel tank at every 7,500mile or every engine oil change is recom- mended. Additives are available from your authorized HYUNDAI dealer along with information on how to use them. Do not mix other additives.

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.

Introduction

VEHICLE BREAK-IN PROCESS

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, econo- my 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 emer- gencies, to allow the brakes to seat properly.

• Do not let the engine idle longer than 3 minutes at one time.

CALIFORNIA PROPO- SITION 65 WARNING

Items contained in motor vehi- cles or emitted from them are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or reproductive harm. These include:

• Gasoline and its vapors

• Engine exhaust

• Used engine oil

• Interior passenger compart- ment components and materi- als

• Component parts which are subject to heat and wear

In addition, battery posts, termi- nals and related accessories contain lead, lead compounds and other chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

VEHICLE HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS

As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correct- ly may result in loss of control, an accident or vehicle rollover.

Specific design characteristics (high- er 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 a conventional 2-wheel drive sedans or sports coupe. Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers. Failure to operate this vehicle cor- rectly 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.

Introduction

VEHICLE DATA COLLECTION AND EVENT DATA RECORDERS

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 sys- tems 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 passenger 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 travel- ing.

These data can help provide a bet- ter understanding of the circum- stances in which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial 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 par- ties, 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.

Safety features of your vehicle

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 - 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 with- out being held and controlled, the back of the seat could spring forward resulting in acci- dental injury to a person struck by the seatback.

WARNING - Driver

responsibility for passengers

Riding in a vehicle with the seatback reclined could lead to serious or fatal injury in an acci- dent. If a seat is reclined during an accident, the occupant’s hips may slide under the lap portion of the seat belt, apply- ing great force to the unprotect- ed abdomen. Serious or fatal internal injuries could result. The driver must advise the pas- senger to keep the seatback in an upright position whenever the vehicle is in motion.

WARNING

Occupants should never sit on seat cushions. 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 cannot operate normally.

WARNING - Driver’s seat

To avoid serious injury or death:

• Never attempt to adjust the seat while the vehicle is mov- ing. This could result in loss of control, and an accident causing death, serious injury, or property damage.

• Do not allow anything to inter- fere 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 col- lision.

• In order to avoid unnecessary and perhaps severe air bag injuries, always sit as far back as possible from the steering wheel while maintaining com- fortable control of the vehicle. We recommend that your chest be at least 10 inches (250 mm) away from the steer- ing wheel.

Safety features of your vehicle

WARNING - Rear

seatbacks

• The rear seatback must be securely latched. If not, pas- sengers and objects could be thrown forward resulting in serious injury or death in the event of a sudden stop or col- lision.

• No passenger should ride in the cargo area or sit or lie on folded seatbacks while the vehicle is moving. All passen- gers must be properly seated in seats and restrained prop- erly while riding.

• When resetting the seatback to the upright position, make sure it is securely latched by pushing it forward and rear- wards.

• To avoid the possibility of burns, do not remove the car- pet in the cargo area. Emission control devices beneath this floor generate high tempera- tures.

(Continued)

• Luggage and other cargo should be laid flat in the cargo area or on the folded rear seatback. If objects are large, heavy, or must be piled, they must be secured. Under no circumstances should cargo be piled higher than the seat- backs. Failure to follow these warnings could result in seri- ous injury or death in the event of a sudden stop, colli- sion or rollover.

WARNING

After adjusting the seat, always check that it is securely locked into place by attempting to move the seat forward or reverse without using the lock release lever. Sudden or unex- pected movement of the dri- ver'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 place a cigarette lighter on the floor or seat. When you operate the seat, gas may exit out of the lighter and cause a fire.

Headrest

OHM038048N

The driver's and front passenger's seats are equipped with a headrest for the occupant's safety and comfort.

The headrest not only provides com- fort for the driver and front passenger, but also helps to protect the head and neck in the event of a collision.

WARNING - Headrest

adjustment

• For maximum effectiveness in case of an accident, the head- rest should be adjusted so the middle of the headrest is at the same height as the center of gravity of an occupant's head.

Generally, the center of gravity of most people's head is simi- lar with the height of the top of their eyes.

Also adjust the headrest as close to your head as possi- ble. For this reason, the use of a cushion that holds the body away from the seatback is not recommended.

(Continued)

• Do not operate the vehicle with the headrests removed. Severe injury to an occupant may occur in the event of an accident. Headrests may pro- vide protection against severe neck injuries when properly adjusted.

• Do not adjust the headrest position of the driver's seat while the vehicle is in motion.
