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 systems for a short
period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such
data as:

o How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
o Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;

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 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 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.

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 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 reg-

istration and insurance.

o Determine that acceptable fuel is

available.

HYUNDAI

B020A01S-AAT

During the First 1,200 Miles (1,931
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 (1,931 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 (322 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 (1,931 km) of operation.

WARNING:

o Unlocked doors can be dangerous.

Before you drive away (especially if
there are children in the car), be sure
that all the doors are securely closed
and locked so that the doors cannot
be opened from the inside. This helps
ensure that the doors will not be
opened accidentally. Also, when

lock switch is provided on the armrest of
the driver's door. To disable the power
windows, press the window lock switch. To
revert to normal operation, press the win­dow lock switch a second time.

NOTE:

The power windows can be operated for
30 seconds after the ignition key is
turned to the "ACC" or "LOCK" posi­tions, or removed from the ignition
switch.
If the front doors are opened during this
30 second period, the power windows
can no longer be operated without the
ignition key turned to the "ON" position.

Automatic Reverse Window
(Driver's side)

If the upward movement of the window is
blocked by an object or part of the body, the
window will detect the resistance and will
stop upward movement. The window will
then lower approximately 11.8 in.(30cm)
to allow the object to be cleared.

!

WARNING:

o The automatic reverse feature for the

driver’s window is only active when
the “auto up” feature is used by fully
pulling up the switch. The automatic
reverse feature will not operate if the
window is raised using the halfway
position on the power window switch.

o Always check for obstructions before

raising any window to avoid injuries or
vehicle damage. If an object less than

0.16 in. (4 mm) in diameter is caught
between the window glass and the
upper window channel, the automatic
reverse window may not detect the
resistance and will not stop and
reverse direction.

!

WARNING:

o Passengers can be injured if their

head, hands or other body parts are
trapped by a closing window. Always
check for obstructions before raising
any window.

o NEVER leave the ignition key in the

vehicle.

o NEVER leave any child unattended in

the vehicle. Even very young children
may inadvertently cause the vehicle
to move, entangle themselves in the
windows, or otherwise injure
themselves or others.

o Do not attempt to operate the main

switch on the driver's door and a
switch on another door in opposing
directions at the same time. If this is
done, the window will stop and cannot
be opened or closed.

Adjusting Seat Forward and
Rearward

ONF038002

To move the seat toward the front or rear,
pull the lock release lever upward. This will
release the seat on its track so you can
move it forward or rearward to the desired
position. When you find the position you
want, release the lever and slide the seat
forward or rearward on its track until it locks
into the desired position and cannot be
moved further.

!

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.

To lock the seatback into position, release
the recliner control lever.

!

WARNING:

Riding with a reclined seatback in­creases your chance of serious or fatal
injuries in the event of a collision or
sudden stop. The protection of your
restraint system (seat belts and airbags)
is greatly reduced by reclining your seat.
Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly. The
more the seatback is reclined, the greater
the chance that an occupant's hips will
slide under the lap belt or the occupant's
neck will strike the shoulder belt. Drivers
and passengers should always sit well
back in their seats, properly belted, and
with the seatbacks upright.

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

WARNING:

B080D01JM

o For maximum effectiveness in case

of an accident, the headrest should be
adjusted so the middle of the head­rest is at the same height of the center
of gravity of an occupant's head. Gen­erally, the center of gravity of most
people's head is similar with the height
of the top of their eyes. Also, adjust
the headrest as close to your head as
possible. For this reason, the use of a
cushion that holds the body away from
the seatback is not recommended.

o Do not operate the vehicle with the

headrests removed as injury to the
occupants may occur in the event of
an accident. Headrests may provide
protection against neck injuries when
properly adjusted.

o Do not adjust the headrest position of

the driver's seat while the vehicle is in
motion.
