FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
Use Unleaded Gasoline

UNLEADED
FUEL ONLY

B010A01L-1

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.

WARNING:

o Do not "TOP-OFF" after the first nozzle

shut off when refueling.

o The fuel cap must be tightened at least 3

clicks, otherwise " " light may illumi­nate.

B010B01A-AAT

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 the Emission
Control System performance.

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.

BREAKING IN YOUR NEW HYUNDAI
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 quick-

ly 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 min-

utes at one time.

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

(2,000 km) of operation.

B030A01Y-AAT

KEYS

Master key

For greater convenience, your Hyundai has two
master keys and a sub key. The master keys
will open all locks on your vehicle. The sub key
will only function in the ignition and the door
locks.

Leaving your sub key with a parking attendant
will ensure that your vehicle's trunk, trunk lid
release, glovebox compartment and rear trunk
access may not be unlocked in your absence.

Sub key

B030A01L

NOTE:

Before leaving your sub key with a parking
attendant, make sure that the lock levers of
the rear seat back lock and the trunk lid lock
are switched to the "LOCK" position.

B030B01A-AAT

Record Your Key Number

B030B01L

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
where it can be found in an emergency.
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.

WARNING:

o Unlocked doors can be dangerous. Be-

fore 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 assure that doors
will not be opened accidentally. Also,
when combined with the proper use of

seat belts, locking the doors helps keep
occupants from being ejected from the
car in case of an accident.

o Before opening the door, always look for

and avoid oncoming traffic.

the folded down seatback should not extend
higher than the top of the front seats. This
could allow cargo to slide forward and cause
injury or damage during sudden stops.

SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:

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 1-21. 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.

B150B02Y-AAT

Infant or Small Child

All states require small children to use proper
restraints. The child restraint seat or infant
restraint system must be placed in the rear
seat and used for infants or small children
weighing less than 40 pounds. Information about
the use of such restraints begins on page 1-17.
Such restraints must only be used in the rear

seat.

WARNING:

Every person in your vehicle needs to be
buckled up 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.

NOTE:

Small children are best protected 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 1-17.

B150C01A-AAT

Larger Children

Children who are too large for child restraint
systems should 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 move the belt out of position. If
the larger child (over age 13) is in the front seat,
the child should be securely restrained by the

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

seat belt. Under no circumstances should the
child be allowed to stand or kneel on the seat.
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.
Never allow children to ride in the front passen­ger seat.

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.

WARNING:

Sitting in a reclined position or lying down
when your vehicle is in motion can be dan­gerous. Even if you buckle up, your safety
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 there, not at your
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
safety belt properly.

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.

WARNING:

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

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.

SHOULDER BELT (If Installed)

B170A01L

You can adjust the height of the shoulder belt
anchor to one of the 4 positions.
If the height of the adjusting seat belt is too near
your neck, you will not be getting the most
effective protection. The shoulder portion should
be adjusted so that it lies across your chest and
midway over your shoulder nearest the door
and not your neck.

YR10301B

To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the
retractor and insert the metal tab into the buck-

le. There will be an audible “click” when the tab
locks into the buckle.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to the prop­er length only after the lap belt portion is ad­justed manually so that it fits snugly around
your hips. If you lean forward in a slow, easy
motion, the belt will extend and let you move
around. If there is a sudden stop or impact,
however, the belt will lock into position. It will
also lock if you try to lean forward too quickly.
Check to make sure that the belt is properly
locked and that the belt is not twisted.

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

YR10321B

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 1-17.

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:

o For maximum restraint system protec-

tion, the seat belts must always be used
whenever the car is moving.

o Seat belts are most effective when

seatbacks are in the upright position.

o Children must always be seatbelted in

the rear seats. Never allow children to
ride in the front passenger seat.

o The shoulder belt should be positioned

midway over the shoulder nearest the
door for the most effective protection.
Never wear the seat belt under the arm
nearest the door. Wearing the belt under
the arm nearest the door could cause
serious or fatal injuries in an accident.

o Avoid wearing twisted seat belts. A twist-

ed belt can't do its job as well. In a
collision, it could even cut into you. Be
sure the belt is straight and not twisted.

o Be careful not to damage the belt web-

bing or hardware. If the belt webbing or
hardware is damaged, replace it.

B230A01Y-AAT

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM

Children riding in the car should sit in the rear
seat and must always be 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 should
use one of the seat belts provided.
You are required by law to use safety restraints
for children. If small children ride in your vehicle
(generally children younger than four years and
weighing less than 40 pounds), you must put
them in a child restraint system (safety 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.

WARNING:

o A child restraint system must be placed

in the rear seat. Never install a child or
infant seat on the front passenger's seat.
Should an accident occur and cause the
passenger side airbag to deploy, it could
severely injure or kill an infant or child
seated in an infant or child seat. Thus,
only use a child restraint in the rear seat
of your vehicle.

o Since a safety belt or child restraint sys-

tem can become very hot if it is left in a
closed vehicle, be sure and check the

seat cover and buckles before placing a
child there.

o When the child restraint system is not in

use, store it in the trunk or fasten it with
a safety belt so that it will not be thrown
forward in the case of a sudden stop or
an accident.

o Children who are too large to be in a

child restraint should sit in the rear seat
and be restrained with the available lap/
shoulder belts. Never allow children to
ride in the front passenger seat.

o Always make sure that the shoulder belt

portion of the lap/shoulder belt is posi­tioned midway over the shoulder and
never across the neck. Moving the child
closer to the center of the vehicle may
help provide a good shoulder belt fit. The
lap belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt
must always be positioned as low as
possible on the child's hips, and as snug
as possible.

o If the seat belt will not properly fit the

child, we recommend the use of an ap­proved booster seat in the rear seat in
order to raise the child's seating height
so that the seat belt will properly fit the
child.
Before purchasing a booster seat, make
sure that it meets applicable Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and that
it is satisfactory for use with this vehicle.

o Never allow a child to stand up or kneel

on the seat.

1- 17

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

o Never use an infant carrier or a child

safety seat that "hooks" over a seatback;
it may not provide adequate security in
an accident.

o Never allow a child to be held in a per-

son's arms while they are in a moving
vehicle, as this could result in serious
injury to the child in the event of an
accident or a sudden stop. Holding a
child in a moving vehicle does not pro­vide the child with any means of protec­tion during an accident, even if the per­son holding the child is wearing a seat
belt.

Installation on Rear Seats

B230G01L

To install a child restraint system in the rear
seats, extend the shoulder/lap belt entirely from
its retractor until a "click" is felt. This will engage
the seat belt retractor automatic locking feature,
which allows the seat belt to retract but not
extend. Install the child restraint system, buckle
the seat belt and allow the seat belt to take up
any slack. Make sure that the lap portion of the
belt is tight around the child restraint system
and the shoulder portion of the belt is positioned
so that it can not interfere with the child's head
or neck. Also, double check to be sure that the

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

retractor has engaged the Automatic Locking
feature by trying to extend webbing out of the
retractor. If the retractor is in the Automatic
Locking mode, the belt will be locked. After
installation of the child restraint system, try to
move it in all directions to be sure the child
restraint system is securely installed. If you
need to tighten the belt, pull more webbing
toward the retractor. When you unbuckle the
seat belt and allow it to retract, the retractor will
automatically revert back to its normal seated
passenger Emergency Locking usage condi­tion.

NOTE:

o Before installing the child restraint sys-

tem in any seating position, read the
instructions supplied by the child restraint
system manufacturer.

o If the seat belt does not operate as de-

scribed, have the system checked imme­diately by your authorized Hyundai deal­er.

WARNING:

o If the retractor is not in the Automatic

Locking mode, the child restraint system
can move when your vehicle turns or
stops abruptly.

o Do not install any child restraint system

in the front passenger seat. Should an
accident occur and cause the passenger
side airbag to deploy, it could severely
injure or kill an infant or child seated in

an infant or child seat. Therefore, only
use a child restraint system in the rear
seat of your vehicle.

Pre-tensioner Seat Belt

B180B01S

Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with driver's
and front passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts.
The purpose of the pre-tensioner is to make
sure that the seat belts fit tightly against the
occupant's body in certain frontal collisions.
The pre-tensioner seat belts can be activated
alone or, where the frontal collision is severe
enough, together with the airbags.

B180B02S

The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in the
same way as an Emergency Locking Retractor
(ELR) type of seat belt. When the vehicle stops
suddenly, or if the occupant tries to lean for­ward too quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock
into position. However, in certain frontal colli­sions, the pre-tensioner will activate and pull
the seat belt into tighter contact against the
occupant's body.

The seat belt pre-tensioner system consists
mainly of the following components.

Their locations are shown in the illustration.

1. SRS airbag warning light

2. Seat belt pre-tensioner assembly

3. SRS control module

1- 19

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

WARNING:

To obtain maximum benefit from a pre­tensioner seat belt:

1. The seat belt must be worn correctly.

2. The seat belt must be adjusted to the
correct position.

NOTE:

o Both the driver's and front passenger's

pre-tensioner seat belts will be activated
in certain frontal collisions. The pre­tensioner seat belts can be activated alone
or, where the frontal collision is severe
enough, together with the airbags. The
pre-tensioners will be activated under
these conditions even if the seat belts
are not being worn at the time of the
collision.

o When the pre-tensioner seat belts are

activated, a loud noise may be heard and
fine dust, which may appear to be smoke,
may be visible in the passenger compart­ment. These are normal operating condi­tions and are not hazardous.

o Although it is harmless, the fine dust

may cause skin irritation and should not
be breathed for prolonged periods. Wash
your hands and face thoroughly after an
accident in which the pre-tensioner seat
belts were activated.

CAUTION:

o Because the sensor that activates the

SRS airbag is connected with pre­tensioner seat belt, the SRS airbag warn­ing light on the instrument panel will
blink for approximately 6 seconds after
the ignition key has been turned to the
"ON" or "ACC" positions, and then it
should turn off.

o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not work-

ing properly, this warning light will illu­minate even if there is no malfunction of
SRS airbag system. If the SRS airbag
warning light does not illuminate when
the ignition key is turned to "ON" or
"ACC", or if it remains illuminated after
blinking for approximately 6 seconds, or
if it illuminates while the vehicle is being
driven, please have an authorized
Hyundai dealer inspect the pre-tensioner
seat belt or SRS airbag system as soon
as possible.

WARNING:

o Pre-tensioners are designed to operate

only one time. After activation, pre­tensioner seat belts must be replaced.
All seat belts, of any type, should always
be replaced after they have been worn
during a collision.

o The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly

mechanisms become hot during activa­tion. Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies for several minutes after
they have been activated.

o Do not attempt to inspect or replace the

pre-tensioner seat belts yourself. This
must be done by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.

o Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat belt

assemblies.

o Do not attempt to service or repair the

pre-tensioner seat belt system in any
manner.

o Improper handling of the pre-tensioner

seat belt assemblies, and failure to heed
the warnings to not strike, modify, in­spect, replace, service or repair the pre­tensioner seat belt assemblies may lead
to improper operation or inadvertent ac­tivation and serious injury.

o Always wear the seat belts when driving

or riding in a motor vehicle.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
(AIRBAG) SYSTEM

Driver's Side Airbag

B240A01L

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.

NOTE:

Be sure to read information about the SRS
on the labels provided on the backside of
the sun visor and in the glove box.

WARNING:

o As its name implies, the SRS is designed

to work with, and be supplemental to, the
driver’s and the passenger’s three point
seat belt systems and is not a substitute
for them. Therefore your seat belts must
be worn at all times while the vehicle is in
motion. In addition, the airbags deploy
only in certain frontal impact conditions
severe enough to likely cause significant
injury to the vehicle occupants.

o The SRS is designed to deploy the airbags

only when an impact is sufficiently se­vere and when the impact angle is less
than 30° from the forward longitudinal
axis of the vehicle and will not deploy in
side, rear or rollover impacts. Additional­ly, the airbags will only deploy once.
Thus, seat belts must be worn at all
times.

o The driver should sit back as far as pos-

sible while still maintaining control of the
vehicle. If you are sitting too close to the
airbag, it can cause death or serious
injury when it inflates.

o No objects should be placed over or near

the airbag modules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, and the front passen­ger's panel above the glove box,
because any such object could cause
harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe
enough to cause the airbags to inflate.

o If the airbags inflate, they must be re-

placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.

o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS

wiring, or other components of the SRS
system. Doing so could result in injury,
due to accidental firing of the airbags or
by rendering the SRS inoperative.

o Do not install a child restraint system in

the front passenger seat position. A
child restraint system must never be
placed in the front seat. The infant or
child could be severely injured or killed
by an airbag deployment in case of an
accident.
Do not allow children to ride in the front
passenger seat. If also children(teenagers
and older) must ride in the front seat,
make sure they are always properly belted
and that the seat is moved back as far as
possible.

o For maximum safety protection in all

types of crashes, all occupants including
the driver should always wear their seat
belts whether or not an airbag is also
provided at their seating position to min­imize the risk of severe injury or death in
the event of a crash. Do not sit or lean
unnecessarily close to the airbag while
the vehicle is in motion.

o The SRS airbag system must deploy very

rapidly to provide protection in a crash. If
an occupant is out of position because of
not wearing a seat belt, the airbag may
forcefully contact the occupant causing
serious or fatal injuries.

SRS Components and Functions

SSA1110B

The SRS consists of the following components:

- Driver’s Side Airbag Module

- Passenger’s Side 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.

1- 22

SSA1110C

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.

SSA1110D

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.

Passenger's Side Airbag

B240B04L

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.

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.

CAUTION:

When installing a container of liquid air
freshener inside a vehicle, do not place it
near the instrument cluster nor on the in­strument panel pad surface. If there is any
leakage from the air freshener onto these
areas (Instrument cluster, instrument panel
pad or air ventilator), it may damage these
parts. If the liquid from the air freshener
does leak onto these areas, wash them with
water immediately.

WARNING:

o When the SRS is activated, there may be

a loud noise and fine dust will be re­leased throughout the vehicle. These con­ditions are normal and are not hazard­ous. However, the fine dust generated
during airbag deployment may cause skin
irritation. Be sure to wash your hands
and face thoroughly with lukewarm wa­ter and a mild soap after an accident in
which the airbags were deployed.

o The SRS can function only when the

ignition key is in the “ON” position. If the
SRS SRI does not come on, or continu­ously remains on, after flashing for about
6 seconds when the ignition key is turned
to the “ON” position, or after the engine
is started, or comes on while driving, the
SRS is not working properly. If this oc­curs, have your vehicle immediately in­spected by your Hyundai dealer.

o Before you replace a fuse or disconnect

a battery terminal, turn the ignition key to
the “LOCK” position or remove the igni­tion key. Never remove or replace the air
bag related fuse(s) when the ignition key
is in the “ON” position. Failure to heed
this warning will cause the SRS SRI to
illuminate.

PASSENGER PRESENCE DETECTION

The passenger presence detection system de­tects the presence of a passenger in the front
seat. If no passenger is recognized on the front
passenger seat, the deployment of the front
passenger and/or side airbag will be prevented.
This system is designed to prevent the replace­ment of airbag components that deploy need­lessly in an accident.

NOTE:

Luggage or other cargo heavier than 33lbs
(15 kg) should not be placed on the passen­ger front seat. This can allow the deploy­ment of the front passenger and/or side air
bag in the case of an accident.

WARNING:

The Passenger Presence Detection system
is not intended to prevent airbag deploy­ment while a child is in the front passen­ger's seat. It is intended only as a means to
reduce unnecessary collision damage re­pair expense by preventing airbag and seat
belt pretensioner deployment when the right
front passenger seat is unoccupied. Deploy­ment is still possible if only a few pounds
are placed upon the seat. Therefore, chil­dren must not be transported in the front
seat. All children must be seated in the rear
seat and properly restrained with the vehi­cle's restraint system or a child restraint
system appropriate for the child's size and
weight.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

B990B01L-AAT

Side Airbag

B990B02Y

Your Hyundai is equipped with a side 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 seatbelt alone. The side impact
airbags are designed to deploy only during
certain side-impact collisions, depending on the
crash severity, angle, speed and point of im­pact. The air bags are not designed to deploy in
all side impact situations.

WARNING:

o For best protection from the side airbag

system and to avoid being injured by the
deploying side airbag, both front seat
occupants should sit in an upright posi­tion with the seat belt properly fastened.
The driver's hands should be placed on
the steering wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00

1- 24

o'clock positions. The passenger's arms

and hands should be placed in their laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat covers.
o Use of seat covers could prevent or re-

duce the effectiveness of the system.
o Do not install any accessories on the

side or near the side airbag.
o Do not use excessive force on the side of

the seat.
o Do not place any objects over the airbag

or between the airbag and yourself.
o Do not place any objects (an umbrella,

bag, etc.) between the front door and the

front seat. Such objects may become

dangerous projectiles and cause injury if

the supplemental side air bag inflates.

B240C01A-AAT

SRS Care

o The SRS is virtually maintenance free and

there are no parts you can safely service by
yourself. The entire SRS system must be
inspected by an authorized Hyundai dealer
10 years after the date that the vehicle was
manufactured.

o Any work on the SRS system, such as re-

moving, installing, repairing, or any work on
the steering wheel must be performed by a
qualified Hyundai technician. Improper han­dling of the airbag system may result in
serious personal injury.

B240C01A

WARNING:

o Do not install a child restraint system in

the front passenger seat position.
A child restraint system must never be
placed in the front seat. The infant or
baby could be severely injured by an
airbag deployment in case of an accident.

o Modification to SRS components or wir-

ing, including the addition of any kind of
badges to the pad covers or modifica­tions to the body structure, can adversely
affect SRS performance and lead to pos­sible injury.

o For cleaning the airbag pad covers, use

only a soft, dry cloth or one which has
been moistened with plain water. Solvents
or cleaners could adversely affect the
airbag covers and proper deployment of
the system.

o No objects should be placed over or near

the airbag modules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, and the front passen­ger’s panel above the glove box, because
any such object could cause harm if the
vehicle is in a crash severe enough to
cause the airbags to inflate.

o If the airbags inflate, they must be re-

placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.

o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS

wiring, or other components of the SRS
system. Doing so could result in injury,
due to accidental firing of the airbags or
by rendering the SRS inoperative.

o If components of the airbag system must

be discarded, or if the vehicle must be
scrapped, certain safety precautions must
be observed. Your Hyundai dealer knows
these precautions and can give you the
necessary information. Failure to follow
these precautions and procedures could
increase the risk of personal injury.

o If you sell your vehicle, be sure to inform

the new owner of these important points
and make certain that this manual is trans­ferred to the new owner.

o If your car was flooded and has soaked

carpeting or water on the floor, you
shouldn't try to start the engine; have the
car towed to an authorized Hyundai deal­er.

is a serious malfunction.
If this happens, stop the car as soon as it is
safe to do so, turn off the engine and check
the oil level. If the oil level is low, fill the
engine oil to the proper level and start the
engine again. If the light stays on with the
engine running, turn the engine off immedi­ately. In any instance where the oil light
stays on when the engine is running, the
engine should be checked by a Hyundai
dealer before the car is driven again.

B260H02A-AAT

Parking Brake/Brake Fluid Level
Warning Light

WARNING:

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 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 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

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

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
while the engine is running, there is a malfunc­tion in the electrical charging system. If the light
comes on while you are driving, stop, turn off
the engine and check under the hood. First,

through the face level vents.

Bi-Level

When selecting the "Bi-Level" mode, the indica-

tor light will come on and the air will be dis-

charged through the face vents and the floor

vents. This makes it possible to have cooler air

from the dashboard vents and warmer air from

the floor outlets at the same time.

Operation Tips

o If the interior of the car is hot when you first

get in, open the windows for a few minutes
to expel the hot air.

o When you are using the air conditioning

system, keep all windows closed to keep
hot air out.

o When moving slowly, as in heavy traffic,

shift to a lower gear. This increases engine
speed, which in turn increases the speed of
the air conditioning compressor.

o On steep grades, turn the air conditioning off

to avoid the possibility of the engine over­heating.

o During winter months or in periods when the

air conditioning is not used regularly, run the
air conditioning once every month for a few
minutes. This will help circulate the lubri­cants and keep your system in peak operat­ing condition.

STEREO SOUND SYSTEM

How Car Audio Works

FM reception

AM and FM radio signals are broadcast from

transmitter towers located around your city.

They are intercepted by the radio antenna on

your car. This signal is then received by the

radio and sent to your car speakers.

When a strong radio signal has reached your

vehicle, the precise engineering of your audio

system ensures high quality reproduction. How-

ever, in some cases the signal coming to your

vehicle is not strong and clear. This can be due

to factors such as the distance from the radio

station, closeness of other strong radio stations

or the presence of buildings, bridges or other

large obstructions in the area.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

AM reception

Ionosphere

SSAR011A

AM signal reception is usually better than FM
reception. This is because AM radio waves are
transmitted at low frequency. These long, low
frequency radio waves can follow the curvature
of the earth rather than travelling straight out
into the atmosphere. In addition, they curve
around obstructions so that they can provide
better signal coverage. Because of this, clear
AM broadcasts can be received at greater dis­tances than FM broadcasts.

FM radio station

Unobstructed
area

Mountains

Buildings

Obstructed area

Iron bridges

SSAR012A

FM broadcasts are transmitted at high frequen­cy and do not bend to follow the earth's surface.
Because of this, FM broadcasts generally begin
to fade at short distances from the station. Also,
FM signals are easily affected by buildings,
mountains, or other obstructions. These can
result in certain listening conditions which might
lead you to believe a problem exists with your
radio. The following conditions are normal and
do not indicate radio trouble:

SSAR013A

o Fading - As your car moves away from the

radio station, the signal will weaken and
sound will begin to fade. When this occurs,
we suggest that you select another stronger
station.

o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large

obstructions between the transmitter and
your radio can disturb the signal causing
static or fluttering noises to occur. Reducing
the treble level may lessen this effect until
the disturbance clears.

1- 60

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

B750B01Y-AAT

Using a cellular phone or a two-way
radio

When a cellular phone is used inside the vehi­cle, noise may be produced from the audio
equipment. This does not mean that something
is wrong with the audio equipment. In such a
case, use the cellular phone at a place as far as
possible from the audio equipment.

SSAR014A

o Station Swapping - As a FM signal weak-

ens, another more powerful signal near the
same frequency may begin to play. This is
because your radio is designed to lock onto
the clearest signal. If this occurs, select
another station with a stronger signal.

o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals be-

ing received from several directions can
cause distortion or fluttering. This can be
caused by a direct and reflected signal from
the same station, or by signals from two
stations with close frequencies. If this oc­curs, select another station until the condi­tion has passed.

CAUTION:

When using a communication system such
a cellular phone or a radio set inside the
vehicle, a separate external antenna must
be fitted. When a cellular phone or a radio
set is used by using an internal antenna
alone, it may interfere with the vehicle's
electrical system and adversely affect safe
operation of the vehicle.

Care of DISC
Proper Handling

YL11240B

Handle your disc as shown. Do not drop the
disc. Hold the disc so you will not leave finger­prints on the surface. If the surface is scratched,
it may cause the pickup to skip signal tracks.
Do not affix tape, paper, or gummed labels on
the disc. Do not write on the disc.

Damaged Disc

Do not attempt to play damaged, warped or
cracked discs. These could severely damage
the playback mechanism.

Storage

When not in use, place your discs in their
individual case and store them in a cool place
away from the sun, heat, and dust.
Do not grip or pull out the disc with your hand

while the disc is being pulled into the unit by the
self loading mechanism.
Do not pull the unit from the dash immediately
after a disc is inserted or the eject switch has
been pressed. If the unit is pulled out before an
operation is completed, the disc will be unstable
in the unit and may be damaged.
Do not attempt to insert a disc into the unit when
the unit is out of the dash or the power is off.

Keep Your Discs Clean

YL11250B

Fingerprints, dust, or soil on the surface of a
disc could cause the pickup to skip signal
tracks. Wipe the surface clean with a clean soft
cloth. If the surface is heavily soiled, dampen a
clean soft cloth in a solution of mild neutral
detergent to wipe it clean. See drawing.

CARE OF CASSETTE TAPES

SSAR040B

Proper care of your cassette tapes will extend
the tape life and increase your listening enjoy­ment. Always protect your tapes and cassette
cases from direct sunlight, severely cold and
dusty conditions. When not in use, cassettes
should always be stored in the original protec­tive cassette case. When the vehicle is very hot
or cold, allow the interior temperature to be­come more comfortable before listening to your
cassettes.

o Never leave a cassette inserted in the play-

er when not being played. This could dam­age the tape player unit and the cassette
tape.

o We strongly recommend against the use of

tapes longer than C-60 (60 minutes total).
Tapes such as C-120 or C-180 are very thin
and do not perform as well in the automotive
environment.

o Be sure that the cassette label is not loose

or peeling off or tape ejection may be diffi­cult.

o Never touch or soil the actual audio tape

surfaces.

o Keep all magnetized objects, such as elec-

tric motors, speakers or transformers away
from your cassette tapes and tape player
unit.

o Store cassettes in a cool, dry place with the

open side facing down to prevent dust from
settling in the cassette body.

o Avoid repeated fast reverse usage to replay

one given tune or tape section. This can
cause poor tape winding to occur, and even­tually cause excessive internal drag and
poor audio quality in the cassette. If this
occurs, it can sometimes be corrected by
fast winding the tape from end to end sever-

al times. If this does not correct the problem,
do not continue to use the tape in your
vehicle.

o The playback head, capstan and pinch roll-

ers will develop a coating of tape residue
that can result in deterioration of sound
quality, such as a wavering sound. They
should be cleaned monthly using a commer­cially available head cleaning tape or spe­cial solution available from audio specialty
shops. Follow the supplier’s directions care­fully and never oil any part of the tape player
unit.

o Always be sure that the tape is tightly wound

on its reel before inserting in the player.
Rotate a pencil in the drive sprockets to
wind up any slack.

SSAR053B

NOTE:

Look at a tape before you insert it. If the tape

is loose, tighten it by turning one of the

hubs with a pencil or your finger. If the label

is peeling off, do not put it in the drive

mechanism.

Do not leave tapes sitting where they are

exposed to hot, warm, or high humidity,

such as on top of the dashboard or in the

player. If a tape is exposed to extreme heat

or cold, let it reach a moderate temperature

before putting it in the player.

B870D01Y-GAT

Glass Antenna

B870D01Y-DAG

When the radio power switch is turned on while
the ignition key is in either the "ON" or "ACC"
position, your car will receive both AM and FM
broadcast signals through the antenna in the
rear window glass.

CAUTION:

Do not clean the inner side of the rear
window glass with an abrasive type of glass
cleaner or use a scraper to remove foreign
deposits from the inner surface of the glass

WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!

Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open the
windows immediately.

o Do not inhale exhaust fumes.

Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by
asphyxiation.

o Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.

The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If you hear
a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the car, have the
exhaust system checked as soon as possible by your Hyundai dealer.

o Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.

Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the engine in your
garage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out.

o Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car.

If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an open area
with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior.

If you must drive with the trunk open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary:

1. Close all windows.

2. Open side vents.

3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds.

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE

C090A01L

The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transaxle
has five forwards speeds and one reverse
speed. The individual speeds are selected au­tomatically, depending on the position of the
speed selector lever. The selector lever has 2
gates; the main gate and the manual gate.

NOTE:

For information on manual gate operation,
refer to "Sports Mode".

In the main gate, the selector lever has 5 posi­tions, and is equipped with a button to avoid
inadvertent wrong selection.

NOTE:

Depress the brake pedal and push the
button when shifting.
Push the button when shifting.
The selector lever can be shifted freely.

2- 3

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

The first few shifts on a new vehicle, or if the
battery has been disconnected may be some­what abrupt. This is a normal condition, and
the shifting sequence will adjust after shifts
are cycled a few times by the T.C.M
(Transaxle Control Module).

C090A02L

The indicator lights in the instrument cluster
indicate the selector lever position when the
ignition is switched "ON". During sports mode
operation, green lights indicate the gear cur­rently in use.

C090B01A-AAT

The function of each position is as
follows:

o P (Park):

Use to hold the vehicle in place when parked or
while starting the engine; shift the selector lever
to the "P" (Park) position. Whenever parking
the car, apply the parking brake and shift the
selector lever to the "P" (Park) position.

2- 4

CAUTION:

Never place the selector lever in the "P"
(Park) position unless the vehicle is fully
stopped. Failure to observe this caution will
cause severe damage to the transaxle.

C090C01A-AAT

o R(Reverse):

Use for backing up the vehicle. Bring the car to
a complete stop before shifting the selector
lever to "R" position.

C090D02A-AAT

o N (Neutral):

In the "N" position, the transaxle is in neutral,
which means that no gears are engaged. The
engine can be started with the shift lever in "N"
position, although this is not recommended
except if the engine stalls while the car is
moving.

C090E01L-GAT

o D (Drive):

Use for normal driving. This position is used for
most city and highway driving, for starting from
a full stop to maximum speed. The transaxle
will automatically shift through a five gear se­quence.

C090F01L-GAT

Sports Mode

C090F01L

Whether the vehicle is stationary or in motion,

sports mode is selected by pushing the selector

lever from the "D" position into the manual gate.

To return to "D" range operation, push the

selector lever back into the main gate.

In sports mode, moving the selector lever back-

wards and forwards can make rapid gearshifts

simple. In contrast to a manual transaxle, the

sports mode allows gearshifts with the

acceleator pedal depressed.

UP (+) : Push the lever forward once to shift up

one gear.

DOWN (-) : Pull the lever backwards once to

shift down one gear.

SKIP : By rapidly moving the selector forwards

or backwards twice, it is possible to skip one

gear, i.e. 1st to 3rd or 3rd to 1st .

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

CAUTION:

o Upward shifts do not take place auto-

matically in sports mode. The driver must
execute upward shifts in accordance with
prevailing road conditions, taking care to
keep the engine speed below the red
zone.

o By rapidly moving the selector lever back-

wards (-) twice, it is possible to skip one
gear, i.e., 3rd to 1st, 4th to 2nd or 5th to
3rd. Since sudden engine braking and/or
rapid acceleration can cause a loss of
traction, however, downshifts must be
made carefully in accordance with the
vehicle's speed.

NOTE:

o In sports mode, for the engine protec-

tion, upward shifts are made automati­cally when the engine rpm reaches to the
red zone.

o In sports mode, only the five forward

gears can be selected. To reverse or park
the vehicle, move the selector lever to
the "R" or "P" position as required.

o In sports mode, downward shifts are

made automatically when the vehicle
slows down. When the vehicle stops, 1st
gear is automatically selected.

o To maintain the required levels of vehicle

performance and safety, the system may
not execute certain gearshifts when the
selector lever is operated.

o When driving away on a slippery road,

push the selector lever forward into the
+(UP) position. This cause the transaxle
to shift into 2nd gear which is better for
smooth driving away on a slippery road.
Push the selector lever to the -(DOWN)
side to shift back to 1st gear.

C090H01L-GAT

NOTE:

o For smooth and safe operation, depress

the brake pedal when shifting from "Neu­tral" position or "Park" position to a for­ward or reverse gear.

o The ignition key must be in the "ON"

position and the brake pedal fully de­pressed in order to move the shift lever
from the "P" (Park) position to any of the
other positions.

o It is always possible to shift from "R",

"N", "D" position to "P" position. The
vehicle must be fully stopped to avoid
transaxle damage.

C090I01L-GAT

CAUTION:

o Shift into "R" and "P" position only when

the vehicle has completely stopped.

o Do not accelerate the engine in reverse

or any of the forward positions with the
brakes applied.

o Always apply the footbrake when shift-

ing from "P" or "N", to "R" or "D" posi­tion.

o Do not use the "P" (Park) position in

place of the parking brake. Always set
the parking brake, shift the transaxle into
"P" (Park) position and turn off the igni­tion when you leave the vehicle, even
momentarily. Never leave the vehicle
unattended while the engine is running.

o Check the automatic transaxle fluid level

regularly, and add fluid as necessary.

C090N01Y-AAT

Good Driving Practices

o Never move the gear selector lever from “P”

or “N” to any other position with the acceler­ator pedal depressed.

o Never move the gear selector lever into “P”

when the vehicle is in motion.

o Be sure the car is completely stopped be-

fore you attempt to shift into “R”.

o Never take the car out of gear and coast

down a hill. This may be extremely hazard­ous. Always leave the car in gear when
moving.

o Do not “ride” the brakes. This can cause

them to overheat and malfunction. Instead,
when you are driving down a long hill, slow
down and shift to a lower gear. When you do
this, engine braking will help slow the car.

o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear.

Otherwise, the lower gear may not be en­gaged.

o Always use the parking brake. Do not de-

pend on placing the transaxle in “P” to keep
the car from moving.

2- 5

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

o Exercise extreme caution when driving on a

slippery surface. Be especially careful when
braking, accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change in vehi­cle speed can cause the drive wheels to
lose traction and the vehicle to go out of
control.

WARNING:

o The risk of rollover is greatly increased if

you lose control of your vehicle at high­way speeds.

o Loss of control often occurs if two or

more wheels drop off the roadway and
the driver oversteers to reenter the road­way.

o In the event your vehicle leaves the road-

way, do not steer sharply. Instead, slow
down before pulling back into the travel
lanes.

o In a collision crash, on unbelted person

is significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seatbelt.

C120A02A-AAT

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
(If installed)

The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed
to prevent wheel lock-up during sudden braking
or on hazardous road surfaces. The ABS con­trol module monitors the wheel speed and con­trols the pressure applied to each brake. Thus,
in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABS
will increase vehicle control during braking.

2- 6

NOTE:

During ABS operation, a slight pulsation
may be felt in the brake pedal when the
brakes are applied. Also, a noise may be
heard in the engine compartment while brak­ing. These conditions are normal and indi­cate that the anti-lock brake system is func­tioning properly.

WARNING:

Your ABS will not prevent accidents due to
improper or dangerous driving maneuvers.
Even though vehicle control is improved
during emergency braking, always maintain
a safe distance between you and objects
ahead. Vehicle speeds should always be
reduced during extreme road conditions.
The braking distance for cars equipped with
an anti-lock braking system may be longer
than for those without it in the following
road conditions.

o Driving on rough, gravel or snow-cov-

ered roads.
o Driving with tire chains installed.
o Driving on roads where the road surface

is pitted or has different surface height.

During these conditions the vehicle should
be driven at reduced speeds. The safety
features of an ABS equipped vehicle should
not be tested by high speed driving or cor­nering. This could endanger the safety of
yourself or others.

C300A02Y-GAT

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS)
(If installed)

C300A02L-A

On slippery road surfaces, the traction control
system (TCS) limits the drive wheels from spin­ning excessively, thus helping the car to accel­erate. It also provides sufficient driving force
and steering performance as the car turns at
accelerated speeds.

SLIP Control

Limits the drive wheels from spinning exces­sively during starting or while making accelerat­ed turns on slippery roads to avoid losing the
driving force of the front wheels.

Driving hints

TCS does not actively apply brakes. Be sure to
decelerate the car sufficiently before entering
curves.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

CAUTION:

When the TCS indicator blinks, SLIP control
function has been activated. It also means
that the road is slippery or your car is accel­erating excessively. In this situation, release
foot pressure from the accelerator pedal
and maintain moderate speed.

WARNING:

Traction control is a driving aid; all normal
precautions for driving in inclement weath­er and on slippery driving surfaces should
be observed.

C300B01L-GAT

TCS ON/OFF Mode

In the TCS ON mode, the indicator in the
instrument cluster will not be illuminated.
To switch the TCS OFF mode, press the TCS
switch . The SLIP control will be deactivated
and the TCS indicator in the instrument cluster
will be illuminated.

NOTE:

1) Stop the engine once. Then restart the
engine, and the TCS mode will automati­cally turn ON.

2) When the traction control is operating
properly, you can feel a slight pulsation
in the vehicle. This is only the effect of
brake control and indicates nothing un­usual.

3) When the engine starts, a click is heard
from the engine compartment; however,
this is only the sound of traction control
being checked.

4) When moving out of the mud or fresh
snow, pressing the accelerator pedal may
not cause the engine speed to increase.

C300D01L-GAT

Indicator and Warning

The indicator should illuminate when the igni­tion key is turned ON or START but should go
out after three seconds.
If the indicator does not illuminate, have them
checked by an authorized dealer.

Should there be any unusual conditions in the
device, TCS illuminates as a warning.
If TCS illuminates, pull your car to a safe place
and stop the engine.
Then, start the engine again to check if the TCS
indicator goes out.

If the indicator remains lit even after the engine
has been started, have your car checked by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.

NOTE:

1) When TCS illuminates, traction control is
automatically deactivated for safety.

2) This warning function is not provided
when in the TCS-OFF mode.

C130A01O-BAT

GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES

WARNING:

Nothing should be carried on top of the
shelf panel behind the rear seat. If there
were an accident or a sudden stop, such
objects could move forward and cause dam­age to the vehicle or injure the occupants.

o After being parked, check to be sure the

parking brake is not engaged and that the
parking brake indicator light is out before
driving away.

o Driving through water may get the brakes

wet. They can also get wet when the car is
washed. Wet brakes can be dangerous!
Your car will not stop as quickly if the brakes
are wet. Wet brakes cause the car to pull to
one side. To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
lightly until the braking action returns to
normal, taking care to keep the car under
control at all times. If the braking action does
not return to normal, stop as soon as it is
safe to do so and call your Hyundai dealer
for assistance.

o Don’t coast down hills with the car out of

gear. This is extremely hazardous. Keep the
car in gear at all times, use the brakes to
slow down, then shift to a lower gear so that
engine braking will help you maintain a safe
speed.

o Don’t "ride" the brake pedal. Resting your

foot on the brake pedal while driving can be

2- 7

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

dangerous because it can result in the brakes
overheating and losing their effectiveness. It
also increases the wear of the brake compo­nents.

o If a tire goes flat while you are driving, apply

the brakes gently and keep the car pointed
straight ahead while you slow down. When
you are moving slowly enough for it to be
safe to do so, pull off the road and stop in a
safe place.

o Don’t let your car creep forward. To avoid

creeping forward, keep your foot on the
brake pedal when the car is stopped.

o Use caution when parking on a hill. Engage

the parking brake and place the gear selec­tor lever in "P". If your car is facing downhill,
turn the front wheels into the curb to help
keep the car from rolling. If your car is facing
uphill, turn the front wheels away from the
curb to help keep the car from rolling. If there
is no curb or if it is required by other condi­tions to keep the car from rolling, block the
wheels.

o Under some conditions your parking brake

can freeze in the engaged position. This is
most likely to happen when there is an ac­cumulation of snow or ice around or near the
rear brakes or if the brakes are wet. If there
is a risk that the parking brake may freeze,
apply it only temporarily while you put the
gear selector lever in "P" and block the rear
wheels so the car cannot roll. Then release
the parking brake.

o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with

the accelerator pedal. This can cause the
transaxle to overheat. Always use the brake
pedal or parking brake.

C140A01A-AAT

DRIVING FOR ECONOMY

You can save fuel and get more miles from your
car if you follow these suggestions:

o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate

rate. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts or full­throttle shifts and maintain a steady cruising
speed. Don't race between stoplights. Try to
adjust your speed to that of the other traffic
so you don't have to change speeds unnec­essarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos­sible. Always maintain a safe distance from
other vehicles so you can avoid unneces­sary braking. This also reduces brake wear.

o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you

drive, the more fuel your car uses. Driving at
a moderate speed, especially on the high­way, is one of the most effective ways to
reduce fuel consumption.

o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. This

can increase fuel consumption and also
increase wear on these components. In ad­dition, driving with your foot resting on the
brake pedal may cause the brakes to over­heat, which reduces their effectiveness and
may lead to more serious consequences.

o Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated

to the recommended pressure. Incorrect in­flation, either too much or too little, results in
unnecessary tire wear. Check the tire pres­sures at least once a month.

o Be sure that the wheels are aligned correct-

ly. Improper alignment can result from hitting
curbs or driving too fast over irregular sur­faces. Poor alignment causes faster tire
wear and may also result in other problems
as well as greater fuel consumption.

o Keep your car in good condition. For better

fuel economy and reduced maintenance
costs, maintain your car in accordance with
the maintenance schedule in Section 5. If
you drive your car in severe conditions,
more frequent maintenance is required (see
Section 5 for details).

o Keep your car clean. For maximum service,

your Hyundai should be kept clean and free
of corrosive materials. It is especially impor­tant that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed to
accumulate on the underside of the car. This
extra weight can result in increased fuel
consumption and also contribute to corro­sion.

o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary weight

in your car. Weight reduces fuel economy.

o Don't let the engine idle longer than neces-

sary. If you are waiting (and not in traffic),
turn off your engine and restart only when
you're ready to go.

2- 8

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

o Remember, your Hyundai does not require

extended warm-up. As soon as the engine is
running smoothly, you can drive away. In
very cold weather, however, give your en­gine a slightly longer warm-up period.

o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging

is driving too slowly in too high a gear
resulting in the engine bucking. If this hap­pens, shift to a lower gear. Over-revving is
racing the engine beyond its safe limit. This
can be avoided by shifting at the recom­mended speeds.

o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air

conditioning system is operated by engine
power so your fuel economy is reduced
when you use it.

C150A01A-AAT

SMOOTH CORNERING

Avoid braking or gear changing in corners,
especially when roads are wet. Ideally, corners
should always be taken under gentle accelera­tion. If you follow these suggestions, tire wear
will be held to a minimum.

C160A01A-AAT

WINTER DRIVING

The more severe weather conditions of winter
result in greater wear and other problems. To
minimize the problems of winter driving, you
should follow these suggestions:

C160B01A-AAT

Snowy or Icy Conditions

To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may be
necessary to use snow tires or to install tire
chains on your tires. If snow tires are needed,
it is necessary to select tires equivalent in size
and type of the original equipment tires. Failure
to do so may adversely affect the safety and
handling of your car. Furthermore, speeding,
rapid acceleration, sudden brake applications,
and sharp turns are potentially very hazardous
practices.
During deceleration, use engine braking to the
fullest extent. Sudden brake applications on
snowy or icy roads may cause skids to occur.
You need to keep sufficient distance between
the vehicle in operation in front and your ve­hicle. Also, apply the brake gently. It should be
noted that installing tire chains on the tire will
provide a greater driving force, but will not
prevent side skids.

NOTE:

Tire chains are not legal in all states. Check
state laws before fitting tire chains.

C160C01A-AAT

Use High Quality Ethylene Glycol
Coolant

Your Hyundai is delivered with high quality
ethylene glycol coolant in the cooling system. It
is the only type of coolant that should be used
because it helps prevent corrosion in the cool­ing system, lubricates the water pump and

prevents freezing. Be sure to replace or replen­ish your coolant in accordance with the main­tenance schedule in Section 5. Before winter,
have your coolant tested to assure that its
freezing point is sufficient for the temperatures
anticipated during the winter.

To Keep Locks from Freezing

To keep the locks from freezing, squirt an
approved de-icer fluid or glycerine into the key
opening. If a lock is covered with ice, squirt it
with an approved de-icing fluid to remove the
ice. If the lock is frozen internally, you may be
able to thaw it out by using a heated key.
Handle the heated key with care to avoid burn­ing the fingers.

Use Approved Anti-Freeze in Window
Washer System

To keep the water in the window washer sys­tem from freezing, add an approved anti-freeze
solution in accordance with instructions on the
container. Window washer anti-freeze is avail­able from Hyundai dealers and most auto parts
outlets. Do not use engine coolant or other
types of anti-freeze as these may damage the
finish.

Don’t Let Your Parking Brake Freeze

Under some conditions your parking brake can
freeze in the engaged position. This is most
likely to happen when there is an accumulation
of snow or ice around or near the rear brakes or
if the brakes are wet. If there is a risk the
parking brake may freeze, apply it only tempo­rarily while you put the gear selector lever in
"P" and block the rear wheels so the car cannot
roll. Then release the parking brake.

Don’t Let Ice and Snow Accumulate
Underneath

Under some conditions, snow and ice can build
up under the fenders and interfere with the
steering. When driving in severe winter condi­tions where this may happen, you should peri­odically check underneath the car to be sure
the movement of the front wheels and the
steering components is not obstructed.

Carry Emergency Equipment

Depending on the severity of the weather where
you drive your car, you should carry appropri­ate emergency equipment. Some of the items
you may want to carry include tire chains, tow
straps or chains, flashlight, emergency flares,
sand, a shovel, jumper cables, a window
scraper, gloves, ground cloth, coveralls, a blan­ket, etc.

HIGHER SPEED MOTORING
Pre-Trip Inspections

1. Tires;
Adjust the tire inflation pressures to specifica­tion. Low tire inflation pressures will result in
overheating and possible failure of the tires.
Avoid using worn or damaged tires which may
result in reduced traction or tire failure.

NOTE:

Never exceed the maximum tire inflation

pressure shown on the tires.

2. Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil; High

speed travel consumes 1.5 times more fuel

than urban motoring. Do not forget to check

both engine coolant and engine oil.

3. Drive belt;

A loose or damaged drive belt may result in

overheating of the engine.

C180A01A-AAT

USE OF LIGHTS

Check your lights regularly for correct operation

and always keep them clean. When driving

during the day in conditions of poor visibility, it

is helpful to drive with headlights on low beam.

This enables you to be seen as well as to see.

TRAILER OR VEHICLE TOWING

If you are considering towing with your car, you

should first check with your State's Department

of Motor Vehicles to determine their legal

requirements.

Since laws vary from state to state the require-

ments for towing trailers, cars, or other types of

vehicles or apparatus may differ. Ask your

Hyundai dealer for further details before towing.
