FFUUEELL RREEQQUUIIRREEMMEENNTTSS

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

Your new vehicle is designed to use only unleaded fuel having a pump octane number ((R+M)/2) of 87 or higher. (Do not use methanol blend- ed fuels.)

CAUTION

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

Introduction

WARNING

• Do not "top off" after the noz-

zle 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 pre- vent fuel spillage in the event of an accident.

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, engine con- trol system and emission control sys- tem.

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.

"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.

CAUTION

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

CAUTION

Never use gasohol which con- tains methanol. Discontinue use of any gasohol product which impairs driveability.

Introduction

Other fuels

Using fuels such as;

- Silicone (Si) contained fuel,

- Ferrocene (Fe) contained fuel, and

- Other metallic additives con- tained fuels,

may cause vehicle and engine dam- age. Also, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) may illuminate or cause plugging, misfiring, poor accelera- tion, engine stalling, catalyst melting, abnormal corrosion, life cycle reduc- tion, etc.

Gasoline containing MMT

Some gasoline contains harmful man- ganese-based fuel additives such as MMT (Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).

HYUNDAI does not recommend the use of gasoline containing MMT.

This type of fuel can reduce vehicle performance and affect your emis- sion control system.

The malfunction indicator lamp on the cluster may come on.

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, engine control system and emission control system.

CAUTION

Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty may not cover dam- age to the fuel system and any performance problems that are caused by the use of fuels con- taining 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 or the engine does not run smoothly, addi- tives that you can buy separately may be added to the gasoline. If TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is not avail- able, one bottle of additive added to the fuel tank at every 7,500 miles 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

VVEEHHIICCLLEE DDAATTAA CCOOLLLLEECCTTIIOONN AANNDD EEVVEENNTT DDAATTAA RREECCOORRDDEERRSS

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 parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of per- sonally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investiga- tion.

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.

You will find many safety precautions and recommendations throughout this section, and throughout this man- ual.The safety precautions in this sec- tion are among the most important.

Always wear your seat belt

A seat belt is your best protection in all types of accidents. Air bags are designed to supplement seat belts, not replace them. So even though your vehicle is equipped with air bags, ALWAYS make sure you and your passengers wear your seat belts, and wear them properly.

Restrain all children

All children under age 13 should ride in your vehicle properly restrained in a rear seat, not the front seat. Infants and small children should be restrained in an appropriate child restraint. Larger children should use a booster seat with the lap/shoulder belt until they can use the seat belt properly without a booster seat.

Air bag hazards

While air bags can save lives, they can also cause serious or fatal injuries to occupants who sit too close to them, or who are not prop- erly restrained. Infants, young chil- dren, and shorter adults are at the greatest risk of being injured by an inflating air bag. Follow all instruc- tions and warnings in this manual.

Driver distraction

Driver distraction presents a serious and potentially deadly danger, espe- cially for inexperienced drivers. Safety should be the first concern when behind the wheel and drivers need to be aware of the wide array of potential distractions, such as drowsiness, reaching for objects, eating, personal grooming, other passengers, and using cellular phones, to name a few.

Drivers can become distracted when they take their eyes and attention off the road or their hands off the wheel to focus on activities other than driv- ing. To reduce your risk of distraction or getting into an accident:

• ALWAYS set up your mobile devices (i.e., MP3 players, phones, naviga- tion units, etc.) when your vehicle is parked or safely stopped.

• ONLY use your mobile device when allowed by laws and when conditions permit safe use. NEVER text or email while driving. Most states have laws prohibiting drivers from texting. Some states and cities also prohibit drivers from using handheld phones.

2-2

• NEVER let the use of a mobile device distract you from driving. You have a responsibility to your passen- gers and others on the road to always drive safely, with your hands on the wheel as well as your eyes and attention on the road.

Control your speed

Excessive speed is a major factor in crash injuries and deaths. Generally, the higher the speed, the greater the risk, but serious injuries can also occur at lower speeds. Never drive faster than is safe for current condi- tions, regardless of the maximum speed posted.

Keep your vehicle in safe condi- tion

Having a tire blowout or a mechanical failure can be extremely hazardous. To reduce the possibility of such prob- lems, check your tire pressures and condition frequently, and perform all regularly scheduled maintenance.

Safety precautions

Adjusting the seats so that you are sit- ting in a safe, comfortable position plays an important role in driver and passenger safety together with the seat belts and air bags in an accident.

WARNING

Do not use a cushion that reduces friction between the seat and the passenger. The passen- ger'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.

Air bags

You can take steps to reduce the risk of being injured by an inflating air bag. Sitting too close to an air bag greatly increases the risk of injury in the event the air bag inflates.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends that drivers allow at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the center of the steering wheel and their chest.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury or death from an inflating air bag, take the following pre- cautions:

• Adjust the driver’s seat as far to

the rear as possible while main- taining the ability to maintain full control of the vehicle.

• Adjust the front passenger seat

as far to the rear as possible.

• Hold the steering wheel by the

rim with hands at the 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock positions to mini- mize the risk of injuries to your hands and arms.

• NEVER place anything or any-

one between the steering wheel and the air bag.

• Do not allow the front passen-

ger to place feet or legs on the dashboard to minimize the risk of leg injuries.

Seat belts

Always fasten your seat belt before starting any trip. At all times, passen- gers should sit upright and be proper- ly restrained. Infants and small chil- dren must be restrained in appropri- ate child restraint systems. Children who have outgrown a booster seat and adults must be restrained using the seat belts.

WARNING

Take the following precautions when adjusting your seat belt:

• NEVER use one seat belt for

more than one occupant.

• Always position the seatback

upright with the lap portion of the seat belt snug and low across the hips.

• NEVER allow children or small

infants to ride in a passenger’s lap.

• Do not route the seat belt

across your neck, across sharp edges, or reroute the shoulder strap away from your body.

• Do not allow the seat belt to

become caught or jammed.

2-5

Safety system of your vehicle

Front seats

WARNING

Take the following precautions when adjusting your seat:

• NEVER attempt to adjust the

seat while the vehicle is mov- ing. The seat could respond with unexpected movement and may cause loss of vehicle control resulting in an acci- dent.

• Do not place anything under

the front seats. Loose objects in the driver’s foot area could interfere with the operation of the foot pedals, causing an accident.

• Do not allow anything to inter-

fere with the normal position and proper locking of the seat- back.

• Do not place a cigarette lighter

on the floor or seat. When you operate the seat, gas may exit out of the lighter causing a fire.

(Continued)

• Use extreme caution when

picking small objects trapped under the seats or between the seat and the center con- sole. Your hands might be cut or injured by the sharp edges of the seat mechanism.

WARNING

To prevent injury:

• Do not adjust your seat while

wearing your seat belt. Moving the seat cushion for- ward may cause strong pres- sure on your abdomen.

• Do not allow your hands or

fingers to get caught in the seat mechanisms while the seat is moving.

Manual adjustment

OLMB033002

Forward and rearward adjustment

To move the seat forward or rearward:

1. Pull up the seat slide adjustment

lever and hold it.

2. Slide the seat to the position you

desire.

3. Release the lever and make sure

the seat is locked in place. Move forward and rearward without using the lever. If the seat moves, it is not locked properly.

2-6

OLMB033003

Seatback angle

To recline the seatback:

1. Lean forward slightly and lift up the seatback lever.

2. Carefully lean back on the seat and adjust the seatback to the position you desire.

3. Release the lever and make sure the seatback is locked in place. (The lever MUST return to its orig- inal position for the seatback to lock.)

Reclining seatback

Sitting in a reclined position when the vehicle is in motion can be dan- gerous. Even when buckled up, the protection of your restraint system (seat belts and air bags) is greatly reduced by reclining your seatback.

WARNING

NEVER ride with a reclined seatback when the vehicle is moving.

Riding with a reclined seatback increases your chance of seri- ous or fatal injuries in the event of a collision or sudden stop.

Drivers and passengers should ALWAYS sit well back in their seats, properly belted, and with the seatbacks upright.

Seat belts must be snug against your hips and chest to work properly. When the seatback is reclined, the shoulder belt cannot do its job because it will not be snug against your chest. Instead, it will be in front of you. During an accident, you could be thrown into the seat belt, causing neck or other injuries.

The more the seatback is reclined, the greater chance the passenger’s hips will slide under the lap belt or the passenger’s neck will strike the shoulder belt.

Sitting in a reclined position when the vehicle is in motion can be dan- gerous. Even when buckled up, the protections of your restraint system (seat belts and air bags) is greatly reduced by reclining your seatback.

WARNING

NEVER ride with a reclined seat- back when the vehicle is moving.

Riding with a reclined seatback increases your chance of serious or fatal injuries in the event of a collision or sudden stop.

Drivers and passengers should ALWAYS sit well back in their seats, properly belted, and with the seatbacks upright.

The more the seatback is reclined, the greater chance the passenger’s hips will slide under the lap belt or the passenger’s neck will strike the shoulder belt.

2. Hold the lever and adjust the seat- back to the position you desire.

Folding the rear seat

The rear seatbacks can be folded to facilitate carrying long items or to increase the luggage capacity of the vehicle.

WARNING

• Never allow passengers to sit

on top of the folded down seatback while the vehicle is moving. This is not a proper seating position and no seat belts are available for use. This could result in serious injury or death in case of an accident or sudden stop.

• Objects carried on the folded

down seatback should not extend higher than the top of the front seatbacks. This could allow cargo to slide for- ward and cause injury or dam- age during sudden stops.
