VEHICLE DATA COLLECTION AND EVENT DATA RECORDERS
Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with many high technology, electronically controlled systems
that help to ensure your vehicle operates properly and provides the performance that youexpect. These systems utilize computers to monitor the operation of various systems andcomponents and help to control their operation. These computerized system operations arewide-ranging and involve components to reduce emissions, to continuously evaluate thereadiness of the airbag and seat belt pretensioner systems, to determine when the airbag andseat belt pre-tensioner systems should be deployed and then to activate the deployment, andif equipped, to operate anti-lock braking, traction control and electrical stability control to assist
the driver to control the vehicle in difficult driving situations. These systems electronically storeinformation that is useful to service technicians when they need to diagnose and repair thesesystems. Additional information is stored only when a crash occurs that results in thedeployment of the airbags or seat belt pre-tensioners. This type of data storage is done bydevices called event data recorders(EDR).
After a crash event, the airbag and seat belt pre-tensioner computer system, known as theSupplemental Restraint System Control Module (SRSCM) or Airbag Control Unit (ACU), mayrecord some information about the condition of the vehicle and how it was being operated. Thisinformation consists of data related to seat belt usage and if there was diagnostic informationin the airbag or seat belt systems at the time that a crash occurred, and if the ACU sensed thata crash of sufficient severity occurred to require seat belt pre-tensioner or airbag deployment.
To retrieve this information, special equipment is needed and access to the vehicle or the devicethat stores the data is required. Hyundai will not access information about a crash event or shareit with others except:
o in response to an official request of police or similar government office, oro with the consent of the vehicle owner or, if the vehicle is leased, with the consent of the lessee,
or
o as part of Hyundai’s defense of litigation, oro as required by law.

The purpose of the SRS is to provide thevehicle's driver and/or the front passen-ger with additional protection than thatoffered by the seat belt system alone incase of a frontal impact of sufficient sever-ity. The SRS uses sensors to gather infor-mation about the driver's and frontpassenger's seat position, the driver's and
front passenger's seat belt usage andimpact severity.
The driver's and front passenger's seattrack position sensors, which are installedon the seat track, determine if the seatsare fore or aft of a reference position. The
seat belt buckle sensors determine if thedriver and front passenger's seat beltsare fastened. These sensors provide theability to control the SRS deploymentbased on how close the driver's seat is tothe steering wheel, how close thepassenger's seat is to the instrumentpanel, whether or not the seat belts arefastened, and how severe the impact is.

AM broadcasts can be received at greaterdistances than FM broadcasts. This isbecause AM radio waves are transmittedat low frequencies. These long, low fre-
quency radio waves can follow the curva-ture of the earth rather than travellingstraight out into the atmosphere. In addi-tion, they curve around obstructions sothat they can provide better signal cover-age.
AM and FM radio signals are broadcast
from transmitter towers located aroundyour city. They are intercepted by theradio antenna on your car. This signal isthen received by the radio and sent toyour car speakers.When a strong radio signal has reachedyour vehicle, the precise engineering ofyour audio system ensures the best pos-sible quality reproduction.

o Station Swapping - As an FM signalweakens, another more powerful sig-nal near the same frequency may be-
gin to play. This is because your radiois designed to lock onto the clearestsignal. If this occurs, select anotherstation with a stronger signal.
o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio sig-nals being received from several di-rections can cause distortion or flutter-ing. This can be caused by a direct andreflected signal from the same station,or by signals from two stations withclose frequencies. If this occurs, selectanother station until the condition haspassed.

When this occurs, we suggest that youselect another stronger station.

16 WINTER DRIVING
C160A01A-AAT
The more severe weather cwinter result in greater weaproblems. To minimize the winter driving, you should suggestions:
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessaryweight in your car. Weight reduces fueleconomy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer thannecessary. If you are waiting (and notin traffic), turn off your engine andrestart only when you're ready to go.
o Remember, your Hyundai does notrequire extended warm-up. After theengine has started, allow the engine to

SMOOTH CORNERING
C150A01A-AAT
Avoid braking or gear changing in cor-ners, especially when roads are wet. Ide-ally, corners should always be takenunder gentle acceleration. If you followthese suggestions, tire wear will be heldto a minimum.

run for 10 to 20 seconds prior to plac-ing the vehicle in gear. In very coldweather, however, give your engine aslightly longer warm-up period.
o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine.Lugging is driving too slowly in toohigh a gear resulting in the engine
bucking. If this happens, shift to a lowergear. Over-revving is racing the en-gine beyond its safe limit. This can beavoided by shifting at the recommend-ed speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly.The air conditioning system is oper-ated by engine power so your fueleconomy is reduced when you use it.

Use High Quality Ethylene Glycol
Coolant
Your Hyundai is delivered with high qual-ity ethylene glycol coolant in the coolingsystem. It is the only type of coolant thatshould be used because it helps preventcorrosion in the cooling system, lubri-cates the water pump and prevents freez-ing. Be sure to replace or replenish your
coolant in accordance with the mainte

Snowy or Icy Conditions
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may
be necessary to use snow tires or toinstall tire chains on your tires. If snowtires are needed, it is necessary to selecttires equivalent in size and type to theoriginal equipment tires. Failure to do somay adversely affect the safety and han-dling of your car. Furthermore, speeding,

rapid acceleration, sudden brake appli-cations, and sharp turns are potentiallyvery hazardous practices.During deceleration, use engine brakingto the fullest extent. Sudden brake appli-cations on snowy or icy roads may causeskids to occur. You need to keep suffi-cient distance between the vehicle inoperation in front and your vehicle. Also,apply the brake gently. It should be notedthat installing tire chains on the tire willprovide a greater driving force, but willnot prevent side skids.
NOTE:Tire chains are not legal in all states.Check state laws before fitting tirechains.

NOTE:Never exceed the maximum tire infla-tion pressure shown on the tires.
WARNING:o Underinflated or overinflated tires
can cause poor handling, loss of ve-hicle control, and sudden tire failureleading to accidents, injuries, andeven death. Always check tires are
properly inflated before driving. Referto pages 2-20 and 8-3 for proper tirepressures and further information.
2. Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil:High speed travel consumes more fuel
than urban motoring. Do not forget tocheck both engine coolant and engineoil.

Keep Your Garage Dry
Don't park your car in a damp, poorlyventilated garage. This creates a favor-able environment for corrosion. This isparticularly true if you wash your car inthe garage or drive it into the garagewhen it is still wet or covered with snow,
