VEHICLE DATA COLLECTION AND EVENT DATA RECORDERS

Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with many high technology, electronically controlled systems that help to ensureyour vehicle operates properly and provides the performance that you expect. These systems utilize computersto monitor the operation of various systems and components and help to control their operation. Thesecomputerized system operations are wide-ranging and involve components to reduce emissions, to continuouslyevaluate the readiness of the airbag and seat belt pretensioner systems, to determine when the airbag and seatbelt pre-tensioner systems should be deployed and then to activate the deployment, and if equipped, to operateanti-lock braking, traction control and electrical stability control to assist the driver to control the vehicle in difficultdriving situations. These systems electronically store information that is useful to service technicians when theyneed to diagnose and repair these systems. Additional information is stored only when a crash occurs that resultsin the deployment of the airbags or seat belt pre-tensioners. This type of data storage is done by devices calledevent data recorders(EDR).

After a crash event, the airbag and seat belt pre-tensioner computer system, known as the SupplementalRestraint System Control Module (SRSCM) or Airbag Control Unit (ACU), may record some information aboutthe condition of the vehicle and how it was being operated. This information consists of data related to seat beltusage and if there was diagnostic information in the airbag or seat belt systems at the time that a crash occurred,and if the ACU sensed that a crash of sufficient severity occurred to require seat belt pre-tensioner or airbagdeployment.

To retrieve this information, special equipment is needed and access to the vehicle or the device that stores thedata is required. Hyundai will not access information about a crash event or share it 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, oro as part of Hyundai’s defense of litigation, oro as required by law.

SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:All occupants of the vehicle must wear theirseat belts at all times. Seat belts and childrestraints reduce the risk of serious or fatalinjuries for all occupants in the event of acollision or sudden stop. Without a seatbelt, occupants could be shifted too closeto a deploying airbag, strike the interiorstructure or be thrown from the vehicle.Properly worn seat belts greatly reducethese hazards. Even with advanced airbags,unbelted occupants can be severely in-jured by a deploying airbag. Always followthe precautions about seat belts, airbagsand occupant safety contained in thismanual.

! WARNING:Every person in your vehicle needs to beproperly restrained at all times, includinginfants and children. Never hold a child inyour arms or lap when riding in a vehicle.The violent forces created during a crashwill tear the child from your arms and throwthe child against the interior. Always use achild restraint appropriate for your child'sheight and weight, see page 1-28.

NOTE:Small children are best protected from in-jury in an accident when properly restrainedin the rear seat by a child restraint systemthat meets the requirements of the FederalMotor Vehicle Safety Standards. Beforebuying any child restraint system, makesure that it has a label certifying that itmeets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-dard 213. The restraint must be appropriatefor your child's height and weight. Checkthe label on the child restraint for thisinformation. See page 1-28.

SEAT BELTS-Front Passenger and RearSeat 3-Point System with CombinationLocking RetractorTo Fasten Your Belt

Combination retractor type seat belts are in-stalled in the rear seat positions to help accom-modate the installation of child restraint systems.Although a combination retractor is also installedin the front passenger seat position, Hyundaistrongly recommends that children always beseated in the rear seat. NEVER place any infantrestraint system in the front seat of the vehicle.This type of seat belt combines the features ofboth an emergency locking retractor seat beltand an automatic locking retractor seat belt. Tofasten your seat belt, pull it out of the retractorand insert the metal tab into the buckle. Therewill be an audible "click" when the tab locks intothe buckle. When not securing a child restraint,the seat belt operates in the same way as thedriver's seat belt (Emergency Locking Retrac-tor Type). It automatically adjusts to the properlength only after the lap belt portion of the seatbelt is adjusted manually so that it fits snuglyaround your hips. When the seat belt is fullyextended from the retractor to allow the instal-lation of a child restraint system, the seat beltoperation changes to allow the belt to retract, butnot to extend (Automatic Locking RetractorType). See page 1-32.

NOTE:o Although the combination retractor pro-

vides the same level of protection forseated passengers in either emergencyor automatic locking modes, it is recom-mended that seated passengers use theemergency locking feature for improvedconvenience. The automatic lockingfunction is intended to facilitate childrestraint installation. To convert fromthe automatic locking feature to theemergency locking operation mode, al-low the unbuckled seat belt to fully re-tract.

o The front passenger's seat belt warninglight on the center fascia panel blinksuntil the front passenger's seat belt isfastened to remind the front passengerto fasten the front passenger's seat belt,when the ignition key is turned from the"OFF" position to "the "ON" or "START"position.

WARNING:o For maximum restraint system protec-

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

o Seat belts are most effective whenseatbacks are in the upright position.

o Children age 12 and younger must al-ways be properly restrained in the rearseat. Never allow children to ride in thefront passenger seat. If a child over 13must be seated in the front seat, he/shemust be properly belted and the seatshould be moved as far back as possible.

o Never wear the shoulder belt under yourarm or behind your back. An improperlypositioned shoulder belt can cause se-rious injuries in a crash. The shoulderbelt should be positioned midway overyour shoulder across your collarbone.

o Avoid wearing twisted seat belts. Atwisted belt can't do its job as well. In acollision, it could even cut into you. Besure the belt webbing is straight and nottwisted.

o Be careful not to damage the belt web-bing or hardware. If the belt webbing orhardware is damaged, replace it.

wear seat belts and wear them properly.

NOTE:o Both the driver's and front passenger's

pre-tensioner seat belts will be activatedin certain frontal collisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts can be activatedalone or, where the frontal collision issevere enough, together with theairbags.The pre-tensioners will not be activatedif the seat belts are not being worn at thetime of the collision.

o When the pre-tensioner seat belts areactivated, a loud noise may be heard andfine dust, which may appear to be smoke,may be visible in the passenger com-partment. These are normal operatingconditions and are not hazardous.

o Although it is harmless, the fine dustmay cause skin irritation and should notbe breathed for prolonged periods. Washall exposed skin areas thoroughly afteran accident in which the pre-tensionerseat belts were activated.

WARNING: !

AIRBAG

CAUTION:o Because the sensor that activates the

SRS airbag is connected with the pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRS airbag warn-ing light on the instrument panel willilluminate for approximately 6 secondsafter the ignition key has been turned tothe "ON" position, and then it shouldturn off.

o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not work-ing properly, this warning light will illu-minate even if there is no malfunction ofthe SRS airbag. If the SRS airbag warninglight does not illuminate when the igni-tion key is turned to "ON", or if it blinksfor a second and remains illuminatedafter illuminating for approximately 6seconds, or if it illuminates while thevehicle is being driven, please have anauthorized Hyundai dealer inspect thepre-tensioner seat belt or SRS airbagsystem as soon as possible.

! WARNING:o Pre-tensioners are designed to operate

B240A01NF

The SRS uses sensors to gather informationabout the driver's and front passenger's seatposition, the driver's and front passenger's seatbelt usage and impact severity.

The driver's and front passenger's seat trackposition sensors, which are installed on the seattrack, determine if the seats are fore or aft of areference position. The seat belt buckle sen-sors determine if the driver and front passenger'sseat belts are fastened. These sensors providethe ability to control the SRS deployment basedon how close the driver's seat is to the steeringwheel, how close the passenger's seat is to theinstrument panel, whether or not the seat beltsare fastened, and how severe the impact is.

The advanced SRS offers the ability to controlthe airbag inflation with two levels. A first stagelevel is provided for moderate-severity impacts.A second stage level is provided for moresevere impacts.

According to the impact severity, seating posi-tion and seat belt usage, the SRSCM(SRSControl Module) controls the airbag inflation.Failure to properly wear seat belts can increasethe risk or severity of injury in an accident.

CAUTION:If a seat track position sensor or an occu-pant classification system is not workingproperly, the SRS airbag warning light onthe instrument panel will illuminate be-cause the SRS airbag warning light is con-nected with the seat track position sensorand the occupant classification system. Ifthe SRS airbag warning light does not illu-minate when the ignition key is turned tothe "ON" position, remains illuminated af-ter approximately 6 seconds when the igni-tion key is turned to the "ON" position, orif it illuminates while the vehicle is beingdriven, have an authorized Hyundai dealerinspect the advanced SRS airbag system assoon as possible.

!AIRBAG

Additionally, your Hyundai is equipped with anoccupant classification system in the frontpassenger's seat. The occupant classificationsystem detects the presence of a passenger inthe front passenger's seat and will turn off thefront passenger's airbag under certain condi-tions. For more detail, see "Occupant Classifi-cation System" later in this section.

Driver's and Passenger's Front Airbag

Your Hyundai is equipped with an advancedSupplemental Restraint (Airbag) System. Theindications of the system's presence are theletters "SRS AIRBAG" embossed on the airbagpad cover in the steering wheel and thepassenger's side front panel pad above theglove box.

The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installedunder the pad covers in the center of thesteering wheel and the passenger's side frontpanel above the glove box. The purpose of theSRS is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or thefront passenger with additional protection thanthat offered by the seat belt system alone incase of a frontal impact of sufficient severity.

Driver's Front Airbag

!! WARNING:Always use seat belts and child restraints –every trip, every time, everyone! Airbagsinflate with considerable force and in theblink of an eye. Seat belts help keep occu-pants in proper position to obtain maxi-mum benefit from the airbag. Even withadvanced airbags, improperly and unbeltedoccupants can be severely injured whenthe airbag inflates. Always follow the pre-cautions about seat belts, airbags and oc-cupant safety contained in this manual.

To reduce the chance of serious or fatalinjuries and receive the maximum safetybenefit from your restraint system:o Never place a child in any child or booster

seat in the front seat (see child restraints1-28).

o ABC – Always Buckle Children in theback seat. It is the safest place forchildren of any age to ride

o Front and side impact airbags can injureoccupants improperly positioned in thefront seats

o Move your seat as far back as practicalfrom the front airbags, while still main-taining control of the vehicle.

o Never sit or lean unnecessarily close tothe front or side airbags

! WARNING:o Modification to the seat structure can

adversely affect the seat track positionsensor and cause the airbag to deploy ata different level than should be pro-vided.

o Do not place any objects underneath thefront seats as they could damage theseat track position sensor or interferewith the occupant classification sys-tem.

o Do not place any objects that may causemagnetic fields near the front seat. Thesemay cause a malfunction of the seattrack position sensor.

NOTE:o Be sure to read information about the

SRS on the labels provided on the back-side of the sun visor and in the glove box.

o Advanced airbags are combined withpre-tensioner seat belts to help provideenhanced occupant protection in fron-tal crashes. Front airbags are not in-tended to deploy in collisions in whichsufficient protection can be provided bythe pre-tensioner seat belt.

o If you are considering modification ofyour vehicle due to a disability, pleasecontact the Hyundai Customer Assis-tance Center at 1-800-633-5151.

o Never lean against the door or centerconsole – always sit in an upright posi-tion

o Do not allow a passenger to ride in thefront seat when the “Passenger AirbagOFF” indicator is illuminated, becausethe airbag will not deploy in the event ofa moderate or severe frontal crash.

o Never place objects over or near anyairbag module (front or side impactairbags), because these objects can in-jure passengers in a crash

o Never place covers, blankets or after-market seat warmers on the passengerseat as these may interfere with theoccupant classification system

o Do not tamper or disconnect SRS wiringor other components. Injuries couldresult from inadvertent deployment orfailure of the airbag to deploy in a crash.

o If the SRS airbag warning light (see pg 1-52) remains illuminated while the vehicleis being driven, have an authorizedHyundai dealer inspect the airbag sys-tem as soon as possible.

o Airbags can only be used once – have anauthorized Hyundai dealer replace theairbag immediately after deployment.

WARNING:

! WARNING:o Move your seat as far back as practical

from the front airbags, while still main-taining control of the vehicle. You andyour passengers should never sit or leanunnecessarily close to the airbags. Im-properly positioned drivers and passen-gers can be severely injured by inflatingairbags.

o No objects should be placed over or nearthe airbag modules on the steeringwheel, instrument panel, and the frontpassenger's panel above the glove box,because any such object could causeharm if the vehicle is in a crash severeenough to cause the airbags to deploy.

o If the airbags deploy, they must be re-placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.Deployed airbags WILL NOT inflate againand will provide no protection in subse-quent collisions.

o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRSwiring or other components of the SRSsystem. Doing so could result in injury,due to accidental deployment of theairbags or by rendering the SRS inopera-tive.

! WARNING:o The SRS is designed to deploy the front

airbags only when an impact is suffi-ciently severe and when the impact angleis less than 30° from the forward longi-tudinal axis of the vehicle. The frontairbags will not deploy in side, rear orrollover impacts. Additionally, theairbags will only deploy once. Seat beltsmust be worn at all times.

o Front airbags are not intended to deployin side-impact, rear-impact or rollovercrashes. In addition, front airbags willnot deploy in frontal crashes below thedeployment threshold.

Upon deployment, tear seams molded directlyinto the pad covers will separate under pres-sure from the expansion of the airbags. Furtheropening of the covers then allows full inflation ofthe airbags.

A fully inflated airbag, in combination with aproperly worn seat belt, slows the driver's or thepassenger's forward motion, reducing the riskof head and chest injury.

After complete inflation, the airbag immediatelystarts deflating, enabling the driver to maintainforward visibility and the ability to steer oroperate other controls.

B240B03L

The airbag modules are located both in thecenter of the steering wheel and in the frontpassenger's panel above the glove box. Whenthe SRSCM detects a sufficiently severe impactto the front of the vehicle, it will automaticallydeploy the front airbags.

NOTE:The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicatorilluminates for about 6 seconds after theignition key is turned to the "ON" positionor after the engine is started. If the frontpassenger seat is occupied, the occupantclassification sensor will then classify thefront passenger within approximately 10seconds after the ignition is turned on.

CAUTION:If the occupant classification system is notworking properly, the SRS airbag warninglight on the instrument panel willilluminate because the passenger's frontairbags are connected with the occupantclassification system. If there is a malfunc-tion of the occupant classification system,the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicatorwill not illuminate and the passenger's frontairbags will inflate in frontal impact crasheseven if there is no occupant in the frontpassenger's seat. If the SRS airbag warninglight does not illuminate when the ignitionkey is turned to the "ON" position, remainsilluminated after approximately 6 secondswhen the ignition key is turned to the "ON"position, or if it illuminates while the vehicleis being driven, have an authorized Hyundaidealer inspect the occupant classificationsystem and the SRS airbag system as soonas possible.

! WARNING:o Even though your vehicle is equipped

with the occupation classification sys-tem, never install a child restraint systemin the front passenger's seat. A deploy-ing airbag can forcefully strike a childresulting in serious injuries or death.Any child under 13 years of age shouldride in the rear seat. Children too largefor child restraints should use the avail-able lap/shoulder belts. No matter whattype of crash, children of all ages aresafer when restrained in the rear seat.

o If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indi-cator is illuminated when the frontpassenger's seat is occupied by an adultand he/she sits properly (sitting uprightwith the seatback in an upright position,centered on the seat cushion with theirseat belt on, legs comfortably extendedand their feet on the floor), have thatperson sit in the rear seat.

o If you change the weight on the frontpassenger seat just after sit-in or restartof the engine, the "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" indicator may be turned on oroff for a few seconds, disabling or en-abling the passenger airbags. After theinitial stage of about 30 seconds, the"PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicatorwill not toggle.

WARNING:Do not allow a passenger to ride in the frontseat when the “PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF”indicator is illuminated, because the airbagwill not deploy in the event of a crash. If the"PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator re-mains illuminated after the passenger re-positions themselves properly and the caris restarted, Hyundai recommends thatpassenger move to the rear seat becausethe passenger's front airbag will not de-ploy.The “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indicatorwill not change according to the occupantsposture after the vehicle has been runningfor 30 seconds. Front seat passengersmust stay properly seated to avoid seriousinjury from a deploying airbag. For moreinformation see page 1-42.

! WARNING:o Do not modify or replace the front pas-

senger seat. Don't place anything on orattach anything such as a blanket orafter market seat heater to the frontpassenger seat. This can adversely af-fect the occupant classification system.

o Do not sit on sharp objects such as toolswhen occupying the front passengerseat. This can adversely affect the occu-pant classification system.

o Do not use accessory seat covers on thefront seats.

o Accident statistics show that childrenare safer if they are restrained in the rear,as opposed to the front seat. It is recom-mended that child restraints be securedin a rear seat, including an infant ridingin a rear-facing infant seat, a child ridingin a forward-facing child seat and anolder child riding in a booster seat.

o Airbags can only be used once – have anauthorized Hyundai dealer replace theairbag immediately after deployment.

! WARNING:o A smaller-stature adult who is not seated

correctly (for example: seat excessivelyreclined, leaning on the center console,or hips shifted forward in the seat) cancause a condition where the advancedfrontal airbag system senses less weightthan if the occupant were seated prop-erly (sitting upright with the seatback inan upright position, centered on the seatcushion with their seat belt on, legscomfortably extended and their feet onthe floor). This condition can result in anadult potentially being misclassified andillumination of the "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" indicator.

Side Impact Airbag (If installed)

Your Hyundai is equipped with a side impactairbag in each front seat. The purpose of theairbag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/orthe front passenger with additional protectionthan that offered by the seat belt alone. The sideimpact airbags are designed to deploy onlyduring certain side-impact collisions, depend-ing on the crash severity, angle, speed and pointof impact. The side impact airbags are notdesigned to deploy in all side impact situations.

B990B02LZ


47

!o For best protection from the side impact

airbag system and to avoid being injuredby the deploying side impact airbag,both front seat occupants should sit inan upright position with the seat beltproperly fastened. The driver's handsshould be placed on the steering wheelat the 9:00 and 3:00 positions. Thepassenger's arms and hands should beplaced on their laps.

o Do not use any accessory seat covers.o Use of seat covers could reduce or pre-

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

side or near the side impact airbag.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 thefront seat. Such objects may becomedangerous projectiles and cause injuryif the supplemental side impact airbaginflates.

o To prevent unexpected deployment ofthe side impact airbag that may result inpersonal injury, avoid impact to the sideimpact sensor when the ignition key ison.

WARNING:

WARNING:o The side impact airbag is supplemental

to the driver's and the passenger's seatbelt systems and is not a substitute forthem. Therefore your seat belts must beworn at all times while the vehicle is inmotion. The airbags deploy only in cer-tain side impact conditions severeenough to cause significant injury to thevehicle occupants.

o If the airbags inflate, they must be re-placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.

o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRSwiring, or other components of the SRSsystem. Doing so could result in injury,due to accidental inflation of the airbagsor by rendering the SRS inoperative.

o If components of the airbag system mustbe discarded, or if the vehicle must bescrapped, certain safety precautionsmust be observed. Your Hyundai dealerknows these precautions and can giveyou the necessary information. Failureto follow these precautions and proce-dures could increase the risk of personalinjury.

o If your car was flooded and has soakedcarpeting or water on flooring, youshouldn't try to start the engine; havethe car towed to an authorized Hyundaidealer.

! WARNING:

B240C03NF-AAT

SRS Care

The SRS is virtually maintenance-free and sothere are no parts you can safely service byyourself. If the SRS "AIRBAG" warning lightdoes not illuminate, or continuously remains on,have your vehicle immediately inspected byyour Hyundai dealer.

Any work on the SRS system, such as remov-ing, installing, repairing, or any work on thesteering wheel must be performed by a qualifiedHyundai technician. Improper handling of theSRS system may result in serious personalinjury.

WARNING:o Do not install a child restraint system in

the front passenger seat position.A child restraint system must never beplaced in the front seat. The infant orchild could be severely injured by anairbag deployment in case of an acci-dent.

o Modification to SRS components or wir-ing, including the addition of any kind ofbadges to the pad covers or modifica-tions to the body structure, can ad-versely affect SRS performance and leadto possible injury.

o For cleaning the airbag pad covers, useonly a soft, dry cloth or one which hasbeen moistened with plain water. Sol-vents or cleaners could adversely affectthe airbag covers and proper deploy-ment of the system.

o No objects should be placed over or nearthe airbag modules on the steering wheel,instrument panel, and the frontpassenger's panel above the glove box,because any such object could causeharm if the vehicle is in a crash severeenough to cause the airbags to inflate.

Additional Safety Precautions

o Never let passengers ride in the cargoarea (trunk) or on top of a folded-downback seat. All occupants should sit upright,fully back in their seats with their seat beltson and their feet on the floor.

o Passengers should not move out of orchange seats while the vehicle is mov-ing. A passenger who is not wearing a seatbelt during a crash or emergency stop canbe thrown against the inside of the vehicle,against other occupants, or out of the ve-hicle.

o Each seat belt is designed to restrain oneoccupant. If more than one person uses thesame seat belt, they could be seriouslyinjured or killed in a collision.

o Do not use any accessories on seatbelts. Devices claiming to improve occu-pant comfort or reposition the seat belt canreduce the protection provided by the seatbelt and increase the chance of seriousinjury in a crash.

o Passengers should not place hard orsharp objects between themselves andthe airbags. Carrying hard or sharp objectson your lap or in your mouth can result ininjuries if an airbag inflates.

o Keep occupants away from the airbagcovers. All occupants should sit upright, fullyback in their seats with their seat belts on andtheir feet on the floor. If occupants are tooclose to the airbag covers, they could beinjured if the airbags inflate.

o Do not attach or place objects on or nearthe airbag covers. Any object attached toor placed on the front or side impact airbagcovers could interfere with the proper opera-tion of the airbags.

o Do not modify the front seats. Modifica-tion of the front seats could interfere with theoperation of the supplemental restraint sys-tem sensing components or side impactairbags.

o Do not place items under the front seats.Placing items under the front seats couldinterfere with the operation of the supple-mental restraint system sensing compo-nents and wiring harnesses.

! WARNING:o Sitting improperly or out of position can

cause occupants to be shifted too closeto a deploying airbag, strike the interiorstructure or be thrown from the vehicleresulting in serious injury or death.

o Always sit upright with the seatback inan upright position, centered on the seatcushion with your seat belt on, legscomfortably extended and your feet onthe floor.

o Never hold an infant or child on your lap.The infant or child could be seriously injuredor killed in the event of a crash. All infants andchildren should be properly restrained inappropriate child safety seats or seat beltsin the rear seat.

Adding Equipment to or Modifying YourAirbag-Equipped Vehicle.

If you modify your vehicle by changing yourvehicle's frame, bumper system, front end orside sheet metal or ride height, this may affectthe operation of your vehicle's airbag system.

!Integrated HomeLink® Wireless ControlSystem

The HomeLink® Wireless Control System pro-vides a convenient way to replace up to threehand-held radio-frequency (RF) transmitterswith a single built-in device. This innovativefeature will learn the radio frequency codes ofmost current transmitters to operate devicessuch as gate operators, garage door openers,entry door locks, security systems, even homelighting. Both standard and rolling code-equippedtransmitters can be programmed by followingthe outlined procedures. Additional HomeLink®

information can be found at: www.homelink.comor by calling 1-800-355-3515.

CAUTION:Before programming HomeLink® to a ga-rage door opener or gate operator, makesure that people and objects are out of theway of the device to prevent potential harmor damage. Do not use HomeLink® with anygarage door opener that lacks the safetystop and reverse features as required byU.S. federal safety standards (this includesany garage door opener model manufac-tured before April 1, 1982). A garage doorthat cannot detect an object - signaling thedoor to stop and reverse - does not meetcurrent U.S. federal safety standards. Usinga garage door opener without these fea-tures increases the risk of serious injury ordeath.

Programming HomeLink®

NOTE:o When programming a garage door

opener, it is advised to park the vehicleoutside of the garage.

o It is recommended that a new battery beplaced in the hand-held transmitter ofthe device being programmed toHomeLink® for quicker training and ac-curate transmission of the radio-fre-quency signal.

o Some vehicles may require the ignitionswitch to be turned to the second (or"accessories") position for program-ming and/or operation of HomeLink.

o In the event that there are still program-ming difficulties or questions after fol-lowing the programming steps listedbelow, contact HomeLink® at:www.homelink.com or 1-800-355-3515.

Retain the original transmitter of the RF deviceyou are programming for use in other vehiclesas well as for future HomeLink® programming.It is also suggested that upon the sale of thevehicle, the programmed HomeLink® buttonsbe erased for security purposes.

115115STEREO SOUND SYSTEM

B750A02A-AAT

How Car Audio Works

AM broadcasts can be received at greaterdistances than FM broadcasts. This is becauseAM radio waves are transmitted at low frequen-cies. These long, low frequency radio wavescan follow the curvature of the earth rather thantravelling straight out into the atmosphere. Inaddition, they curve around obstructions so thatthey can provide better signal coverage.

AM and FM radio signals are broadcast fromtransmitter towers located around your city.They are intercepted by the radio antenna onyour car. This signal is then received by theradio and sent to your car speakers.When a strong radio signal has reached yourvehicle, the precise engineering of your audiosystem ensures the best possible quality repro-duction. However, in some cases the signalcoming to your vehicle may not be strong andclear. This can be due to factors such as thedistance from the radio station, closeness ofother strong radio stations or the presence ofbuildings, bridges or other large obstructions inthe area.

FM broadcasts are transmitted at high frequen-cies and do not bend to follow the earth'ssurface. Because of this, FM broadcasts gen-erally begin to fade at short distances from thestation. Also, FM signals are easily affected bybuildings, mountains, or other obstructions.These can result in certain listening conditionswhich might lead you to believe a problem existswith your radio. The following conditions arenormal and do not indicate radio trouble:

!

o Fading - As your car moves away from theradio station, the signal will weaken andsound will begin to fade. When this occurs,we suggest that you select another strongerstation.

o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or largeobstructions between the transmitter andyour radio can disturb the signal causingstatic or fluttering noises to occur. Reducingthe treble level may lessen this effect until thedisturbance clears.

o Station Swapping - As an FM signal weak-ens, another more powerful signal near thesame frequency may begin to play. This isbecause your radio is designed to lock ontothe clearest signal. If this occurs, selectanother station with a stronger signal.

o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals beingreceived from several directions can causedistortion or fluttering. This can be caused bya direct and reflected signal from the samestation, or by signals from two stations withclose frequencies. If this occurs, selectanother station until the condition has passed.

B750B05Y-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 equip-ment. This does not mean that something iswrong with the audio equipment. In such a case,use the cellular phone at a place as far aspossible from the audio equipment.

WARNING:Hyundai recommends that you never use acell phone while driving. This could resultin loss of control, and an accident that maycause death, serious injury, or propertydamage. You must stop at a safe place touse a cellular phone.

NOTE:Some states and cities have regulationsprohibiting the use of cell phones whiledriving. You should be aware of the specificrequirements in your area.

WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!C010A03A-AAT

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 changein the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the car, have the exhaust system checkedas 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 garageany 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 airintake 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 lid 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.

To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the windshield are kept clearof snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.

CAUTION:o Do not downshift more than 2 gears or

downshift the gear when the engine isrunning at high speed (5,000 RPM orhigher). Such a downshifting may dam-age the engine.

o When downshifting from fifth gear tofourth gear, caution should be taken notto inadvertently press the gear shift leversideways in such a manner that secondgear is engaged. Such a drastic down-shift may cause the engine speed toincrease to the point that the tachometerwill enter the red-zone. Such over-rev-ving of the engine may possibly causeengine damage.

o Do not use the shift lever as a handrestduring driving, as this can result in pre-mature wear of the transaxle shift forks.

When shifting into reverse gear, pull the mis-shift prevention tab and shift into reverse gearposition.

NOTE:o To shift into reverse, rest the lever in

neutral for at least 3 seconds after yourcar is completely stopped. Then movethe lever into the reverse position.

o During cold weather, shifting may bedifficult until the transaxle lubricant haswarmed up. This is normal and not harm-ful to the transaxle.

o If you've come to a complete stop andit's hard to shift into 1st or R(Reverse),put the shift lever in N(Neutral) positionand release the clutch. Press the clutchpedal back down, and then shift into 1stor R(Reverse) gear position.

!C070B02A-AAT

Using the Clutch

The clutch should be pressed all the way to thefloor before shifting, then released slowly. Theclutch pedal should always be fully releasedwhile driving. Do not rest your foot on the clutchpedal while driving. This can cause unneces-sary wear. Do not partially engage the clutch tohold the car on an incline. This causes unnec-essary wear. Use the foot brake or parkingbrake to hold the car on an incline. Do notoperate the clutch pedal rapidly and repeatedly.

WARNING:o Always buckle-up! In a collision, an

unbelted occupant is significantly morelikely to be seriously injured or killedthan a properly belted occupant.

o Avoid high speeds when cornering orturning.

o Do not make quick steering wheel move-ments, such as sharp lane changes orfast, sharp turns.

o The risk of rollover is greatly increased ifyou lose control of your vehicle at high-way speeds.

o Loss of control often occurs if two ormore wheels drop off the roadway andthe driver oversteers to reenter the road-way.

o In the event your vehicle leaves the road-way, do not steer sharply. Instead, slowdown before pulling back into the travellanes.

o Never exceed posted speed limits.

C070D03O-AAT

Good Driving Practices

o Never take the car out of gear and coastdown a hill. This is extremely hazardous.Always leave the car in gear.

o Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause themto overheat and malfunction. Instead, whenyou are driving down a long hill, slow downand 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.This will help avoid over-revving the engine,which can cause damage.

o Slow down when you encounter cross winds.This gives you much better control of yourcar.

o Be sure the car is completely stopped beforeyou attempt to shift into reverse. Thetransaxle can be damaged if you do not. Toshift into reverse, depress the clutch, movethe shift lever to neutral, wait three seconds,then shift to the reverse position.

o Exercise extreme caution when driving on aslippery surface. Be especially careful whenbraking, accelerating or shifting gears. On aslippery surface, an abrupt change in ve-hicle speed can cause the drive wheels tolose traction and the vehicle to go out ofcontrol.

C090A02NF

CAUTION:Never shift into "R" or "P" position while thevehicle is moving.

The indicator lights in the instrument clusterindicate the selector lever position when theignition is switched "ON". During sports modeoperation, the gear currently in use displays inthe numeral indicator.

C090B02A-AAT

The function of each position is as fol-lows:

o P (Park):

Use to hold the vehicle in place when parked orwhile starting the engine. Whenever parking thecar, apply the parking brake and shift the selec-tor lever to the "P" (Park) position.

CAUTION:Never place the selector lever in the "P"(Park) position unless the vehicle is fullystopped. Failure to observe this cautionwill cause severe damage to the transaxle.

C090E01NF-GAT

o D (Drive):

Use for normal driving. The transaxle will auto-matically shift through a four/five gear sequence.

C090D02A-AAT

o N (Neutral):

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

C090C01A-AAT

o R (Reverse):

Use for backing up the vehicle. Bring the car toa complete stop before shifting the selectorlever to "R" position.

CAUTION:o In sports mode, the driver must execute

upward shifts in accordance with pre-vailing road conditions, taking care tokeep the engine speed below the redzone.

o For engine protection, upward shifts aremade automatically when the enginerpm reaches the red zone.

o By rapidly moving the selector leverbackwards (-) twice it is possible to skipone gear, i.e., 3rd to 1st, 4th to 2nd or 5thto 3rd. Since sudden engine brakingand/or rapid acceleration can cause aloss of traction, however, downshiftsmust be made carefully in accordancewith the vehicle's speed.

!C090F02L-GAT

Sports Mode

Whether the vehicle is stationary or in motion,sports mode is selected by pushing the selectorlever from the "D" position into the manual gate.To return to "D" range operation, push theselector lever back into the main gate.In sports mode, moving the selector lever back-wards and forwards can make rapid gearshiftssimple. In contrast to a manual transaxle, thesports mode allows gearshifts with the accel-erator pedal depressed.UP (+) : Push the lever forward once to shift upone gear.DOWN (-) : Pull the lever backwards once toshift down one gear.SKIP : By rapidly moving the selector forwardor backward twice, it is possible to skip onegear, i.e. 1st to 3rd or 3rd to 1st .

C090F02NF

NOTE:o In sports mode, only the four/five for-

ward gears can be selected. To reverse orpark the vehicle, move the selector leverto the "R" or "P" position as required.

o In sports mode, downward shifts aremade automatically when the vehicleslows down. When the vehicle stops, 1stgear is automatically selected.

C090I03L-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 thebrakes 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 inplace of the parking brake. Always setthe parking brake, shift the transaxleinto "P" (Park) position and turn off theignition when you leave the vehicle, evenmomentarily. Never leave the vehicleunattended while the engine is running.

o When accelerating from a stop on asteep hill, the vehicle may have a ten-dency to roll backwards. Shifting theshift lever into 2nd gear while in Sportmode will help prevent the vehicle fromrolling backwards.

o Check the automatic transaxle fluid levelregularly, and add fluid as necessary.

o See the maintenance schedule for theproper fluid recommendation.

C090H01L-GAT

NOTE:o For smooth and safe operation, depress

the brake pedal when shifting from "Neu-tral" position or "Park" position to aforward or reverse gear.

o The ignition key must be in the "ON"position and the brake pedal fully de-pressed in order to move the shift leverfrom the "P" (Park) position to any of theother positions.

o It is always possible to shift from "R","N", or "D" position to "P" position. Thevehicle must be fully stopped to avoidtransaxle damage.

o To maintain the required levels of ve-hicle performance and safety, the sys-tem may not execute certain gearshiftswhen the selector lever is operated.

o Before driving away from a stop on aslippery road, push the selector leverforward into the +(UP) position. Thiscauses the transaxle to shift into 2ndgear which is better for smooth drivingaway on a slippery road. Push the selec-tor lever to the -(DOWN) side to shiftback to 1st gear.

C090J01NF-GAT

SHIFT LOCK RELEASE (If Installed)

Good Driving Practices

o Never move the gear selector lever from "P"or "N" to any other position with the accelera-tor 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 beforeyou attempt to shift into "R".

o Never take the car out of gear and coastdown a hill. This may be extremely hazard-ous. Always leave the car in gear whenmoving.

o Do not "ride" the brakes. This can causethem to overheat and malfunction. Instead,when you are driving down a long hill, slowdown and shift to a lower gear. When you dothis, engine braking will help slow the car.

o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear.Otherwise, the lower gear may not be en-gaged.

o Always use the parking brake. Do not de-pend on placing the transaxle in "P" to keepthe car from moving.

o Exercise extreme caution when driving on aslippery surface. Be especially careful whenbraking, accelerating or shifting gears. On aslippery surface, an abrupt change in vehiclespeed can cause the drive wheels to losetraction and the vehicle to go out of control.

o Optimum vehicle performance and economyis obtained by smoothly depressing andreleasing the accelerator pedal.

WARNING:o Always buckle-up! In a collision, an

unbelted occupant is significantly morelikely to be seriously injured or killedthan a properly belted occupant.

o Avoid high speeds when cornering orturning.

o Do not make quick steering wheel move-ments, such as sharp lane changes orfast, sharp turns.

o The risk of rollover is greatly increased ifyou lose control of your vehicle at high-way speeds.

o Loss of control often occurs if two ormore wheels drop off the roadway andthe driver oversteers to reenter the road-way.

o In the event your vehicle leaves the road-way, do not steer sharply. Instead, slowdown before pulling back into the travellanes.

o Never exceed posted speed limits.

CAUTION:If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow,mud, sand, etc., then you may attempt torock the vehicle free by moving it forwardand backward. Do not attempt this proce-dure if people or objects are anywhere nearthe vehicle. During the rocking operationthe vehicle may suddenly move forward ofbackward as it becomes unstuck, causinginjury or damage to nearby people or ob-jects.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)

C120A01NF-AAT

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

NOTE:o A click sound may be heard in the engine

compartment when the vehicle beginsto move after the engine is started. Theseconditions are normal and indicate thatthe anti-lock brake system (ElectronicStability Control) is functioning prop-erly.

o During ABS (ESC) operation, a pulsationmay be felt in the brake pedal when thebrakes are applied. Also, a noise may beheard in the engine compartment whilebraking. These conditions are normaland indicate that the anti-lock brakesystem (Electronic Stability Control Sys-tem) is functioning properly.

Setting the driver's position

1) Be sure the parking brake is engaged.2) Move the accelerator and brake pedals to

the front most position by pushing the " "portion of the switch.

3) Adjust the seat position and the steeringwheel angle properly.

4) Move the pedals toward you until you canfully depress the brake pedal by pushing the" " portion of the switch.

5) Depress the pedals a few times to get usedto the feel after adjusting.

WARNING:o Adjust the pedals after parking the ve-

hicle on level ground. Never attempt toadjust the pedals while the vehicle ismoving.

o Never adjust the pedals with your footon the accelerator pedal as this mayresult in increasing the engine speedand acceleration.

o Make sure that you can fully depress thebrake pedal before driving. Otherwise,you may not be able to hold down thebrake pedal firmly in an emergency stop.

POWER ADJUSTABLE PEDALS

C100A01NF-AAT

(With Automatic Transaxle) (If Installed)

To adjust the position of the accelerator andbrake pedals, turn the ignition key to the "ON"position with the selector lever in the "P" positionand push the switch.

If you push the " " portion of the switch, thepedals move rearward.If you push the " " portion of the switch, thepedals move forward.

!! WARNING:

ABS (ESC) will not prevent accidents due toimproper or dangerous driving maneuvers.Even though vehicle control is improvedduring emergency braking, always main-tain a safe distance between you and ob-jects ahead. Vehicle speeds should alwaysbe reduced during extreme road condi-tions.The braking distance for cars equippedwith an anti-lock braking system (Elec-tronic Stability Control System) may belonger than for those without it in thefollowing road conditions.During these conditions the vehicle shouldbe driven at reduced speeds:

o Rough, gravel or snow-covered roads.o With tire chains installed.o On roads where the road surface is pit-

ted or has different surface height.

The safety features of an ABS (ESC)equipped vehicle should not be tested byhigh speed driving or cornering. This couldendanger the safety of yourself or others.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL(ESC) SYSTEM

C310A02NF-AAT

The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) systemis designed to stabilize the vehicle during cor-nering manuevers. ESC checks where you aresteering and where the vehicle is actually going.ESC applies the brakes at individual wheels andintervenes in the engine management systemto stabilize the vehicle.

The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) systemis an electronic system designed to help thedriver maintain vehicle control under adverseconditions. It is not a substitute for safe drivingpractices. Factors including speed, road con-ditions and driver steering input can all affectwhether ESC will be effective in preventing aloss of control. It is still your responsibility todrive and corner at reasonable speeds and toleave a sufficient margin of safety.

B310A01NF-A

WARNING:Never drive too fast for the road conditionsor too quickly when cornering. Electronicstability control (ESC) will not prevent ac-cidents. Excessive speed in turns, abruptmaneuvers and hydroplaning on wet sur-faces can still result in serious accidents.Only a safe and attentive driver can preventaccidents by avoiding maneuvers thatcause the vehicle to lose traction. Even withESC installed, always follow all the normalprecautions for driving - including drivingat safe speeds for the conditions.

C310D01NF-AAT

Indicators and Warning

The indicators should illuminate when the igni-tion key is turned to ON or START but shouldgo out after three seconds.If the indicators do not illuminate, or the ESC orESC-OFF indicator does not go out after 3seconds, have the vehicle checked by anauthorized dealer.

Should there be any unusual operation of thedevice while driving, the ESC-OFF indicatorilluminates as a warning.If the ESC-OFF indicator illuminates, drive yourcar to a safe place and stop the engine.Then, start the engine again to check if the ESC-OFF indicator goes out.

If the indicator remains lit even after the enginehas been started, have your car checked by anauthorized Hyundai dealer.

C310B01NF-AAT

ESC ON/OFF Mode

When the ESC is operating, the ESC indicatorin the instrument cluster will blink.If you turn the system off by pressing the ESCswitch, the ESC-OFF indicator will come on andstay on. In the ESC-OFF mode, the stabilitycontrol will be deactivated. Adjust your drivingaccordingly. To turn the system back on, pressthe switch again. The ESC-OFF indicator shouldgo off.

NOTE:The ESC mode will automatically be turnedON after the engine is turned off and re-started.

CAUTION:Driving with varying tire or wheel sizes maycause the ESC system to malfunction. Whenreplacing tires, make sure they are the samesize as your original tires.

GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES

C130A02A-AAT

WARNING:o Whenever leaving vehicle or parking,

always set the parking brake as far aspossible and fully engage the vehicle'stransaxle into the park position. Ve-hicles not fully engaged in park with theparking brake set are at risk for movinginadvertently and injuring yourself orothers.

o All vehicles should always have the park-ing brake fully engaged when parking toavoid inadvertent movement of the carwhich can injure occupants or pedestri-ans.

o Nothing should be carried on top of theshelf panel behind the rear seat. If therewere an accident or a sudden stop, suchobjects could move forward and causedamage to the vehicle or injure the occu-pants.

o After being parked, check to be sure theparking brake is not engaged and that theparking brake indicator light is out beforedriving away.

o Driving through water may get the brakeswet. They can also get wet when the car iswashed. Wet brakes can be dangerous!Your car will not stop as quickly if the brakesare wet. Wet brakes may cause the car topull to one side. To dry the brakes, apply thebrakes lightly until the braking action returnsto normal, taking care to keep the car undercontrol at all times. If the braking action doesnot return to normal, stop as soon as it is safeto do so and call your Hyundai dealer forassistance.

o Don't coast down hills with the car out of gear.This is extremely hazardous. Keep the carin gear at all times, use the brakes to slowdown, then shift to a lower gear so that enginebraking will help you maintain a safe speed.

o Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Resting yourfoot on the brake pedal while driving can bedangerous because it can result in the brakesoverheating and losing their effectiveness. Italso increases the wear of the brake com-ponents.

o If a tire goes flat while you are driving, applythe brakes gently and keep the car pointedstraight ahead while you slow down. Whenyou are moving slowly enough for it to be safeto do so, pull off the road and stop in a safeplace.

o If your car is equipped with an automatictransaxle, don't let your car creep forward.To avoid creeping forward, keep your footfirmly on the brake pedal when the car isstopped.

o Use caution when parking on a hill. Farmlyengage the parking brake and place the gearselector lever in "P" (automatic transaxle) orin first or reverse gear (manual transaxle).If your car is facing downhill, turn the frontwheels into the curb to help keep the car fromrolling. If your car is facing uphill, turn the frontwheels away from the curb to help keep thecar from rolling. If there is no curb or if it isrequired by other conditions to keep the carfrom rolling, block the wheels.

o Under some conditions your parking brakecan freeze in the engaged position. This ismost likely to happen when there is anaccumulation of snow or ice around or nearthe rear brakes or if the brakes are wet. Ifthere is a risk that the parking brake mayfreeze, apply it only temporarily while you putthe gear selector lever in "P" (automatic) orin first or reverse gear (manual transaxle)and block the rear wheels so the car cannotroll. Then release the parking brake.

o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade withthe accelerator pedal. This can cause thetransaxle to overheat. Always use the brakepedal or parking brake.


16

o Remember, your Hyundai does not requireextended warm-up. After the engine hasstarted, allow the engine to run for 10 to 20seconds prior to placing the vehicle in gear.In very cold weather, however, give yourengine a slightly longer warm-up period.

o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Luggingis driving too slowly in too high a gear result-ing in the engine bucking. If this happens,shift to a lower gear. Over-revving is racingthe engine beyond its safe limit. This can beavoided by shifting at the recommendedspeeds.

o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The airconditioning system is operated by enginepower so your fuel economy is reducedwhen you use it.

o Be sure that the wheels are aligned cor-rectly. Improper alignment can result fromhitting curbs or driving too fast over irregularsurfaces. Poor alignment causes faster tirewear and may also result in other problemsas well as greater fuel consumption.

o Keep your car in good condition. For betterfuel economy and reduced maintenancecosts, maintain your car in accordance withthe maintenance schedule in Section 5. Ifyou drive your car in severe conditions,more frequent maintenance is required (seeSection 5 for details).

o Keep your car clean. For maximum service,your Hyundai should be kept clean and freeof corrosive materials. It is especially impor-tant that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed toaccumulate on the underside of the car. Thisextra weight can result in increased fuelconsumption and also contribute to corro-sion.

o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessaryweight in your car. Weight reduces fueleconomy.

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 whenyou're ready to go.

DRIVING FOR ECONOMY

C140A02A-AAT

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

o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderaterate. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts or full-throttle shifts and maintain a steady cruisingspeed. Don't race between stoplights. Try toadjust your speed to that of the other trafficso you don't have to change speeds unnec-essarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos-sible. Always maintain a safe distance fromother vehicles so you can avoid unneces-sary braking. This also reduces brake wear.

o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster youdrive, the more fuel your car uses. Driving ata moderate speed, especially on the high-way, is one of the most effective ways toreduce fuel consumption.

o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. Thiscan increase fuel consumption and alsoincrease wear on these components. Inaddition, driving with your foot resting on thebrake pedal may cause the brakes to over-heat, which reduces their effectiveness andmay lead to more serious consequences.

o Take care of your tires. Keep them inflatedto the recommended pressure. Incorrectinflation, either too much or too little, resultsin unnecessary tire wear. Check the tirepressures at least once a month.


17SMOOTH CORNERING

C150A01A-AAT

Avoid braking or gear changing in corners,especially when roads are wet. Ideally, cornersshould always be taken under gentle accelera-tion. If you follow these suggestions, tire wearwill be held to a minimum.

C160A01A-AAT

The more severe weather conditions of winterresult in greater wear and other problems. Tominimize the problems of winter driving, youshould follow these suggestions:

C160B01A-AAT

Snowy or Icy Conditions

To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may benecessary to use snow tires or to install tirechains on your tires. If snow tires are needed,it is necessary to select tires equivalent in sizeand type of the original equipment tires. Failureto do so may adversely affect the safety andhandling of your car. Furthermore, speeding,rapid acceleration, sudden brake applications,and sharp turns are potentially very hazardouspractices.During deceleration, use engine braking to thefullest extent. Sudden brake applications onsnowy or icy roads may cause skids to occur.You need to keep sufficient distance betweenthe vehicle in operation in front and your vehicle.Also, apply the brake gently. It should be notedthat installing tire chains on the tire will providea greater driving force, but will not prevent sideskids.

NOTE:Tire chains are not legal in all states. Checkstate laws before fitting tire chains.

WINTER DRIVING

C160D01A-AAT

Check Battery and Cables

Winter puts additional burdens on the batterysystem. Visually inspect the battery and cablesas described in Section 6. The level of chargein your battery can be checked by your Hyundaidealer or a service station.

C160C01A-AAT

Use High Quality Ethylene GlycolCoolant

Your Hyundai is delivered with high qualityethylene glycol coolant in the cooling system. Itis the only type of coolant that should be usedbecause it helps prevent corrosion in the cool-ing system, lubricates the water pump andprevents freezing. Be sure to replace or replen-ish your coolant in accordance with the main-tenance schedule in Section 5. Before winter,have your coolant tested to assure that itsfreezing point is sufficient for the temperaturesanticipated during the winter.


18

C160J01A-AAT

Don't Let Ice and Snow AccumulateUnderneath

Under some conditions, snow and ice can buildup under the fenders and interfere with thesteering. When driving in severe winter condi-tions where this may happen, you should peri-odically check underneath the car to be sure themovement of the front wheels and the steeringcomponents is not obstructed.

C160I01A-AAT

Don't Let Your Parking Brake Freeze

Under some conditions your parking brake canfreeze in the engaged position. This is mostlikely to happen when there is an accumulationof snow or ice around or near the rear brakesor if the brakes are wet. If there is a risk theparking brake may freeze, apply it only tempo-rarily while you put the gear selector lever in "P"(automatic) or in first or reverse gear (manualtransaxle) and block the rear wheels so the carcannot roll. Then release the parking brake.C160H02A-AAT

Use Approved Window Washer Anti-Freeze in System

To keep the water in the window washer systemfrom freezing, add an approved window washeranti-freeze solution in accordance with instruc-tions on the container. Window washer anti-freeze is available from Hyundai dealers andmost auto parts outlets. Do not use enginecoolant or other types of anti-freeze as thesemay damage the paint finish.

C160G01A-AAT

To Keep Locks from Freezing

To keep the locks from freezing, squirt anapproved de-icer fluid or glycerine into the keyopening. If a lock is covered with ice, squirt it withan approved de-icing fluid to remove the ice. Ifthe lock is frozen internally, you may be able tothaw it out by using a heated key. Handle theheated key with care to avoid injury.

C160F01A-AAT

Check Spark Plugs and IgnitionSystem

Inspect your spark plugs as described in Sec-tion 6 and replace them if necessary. Alsocheck all ignition wiring and components to besure they are not cracked, worn or damaged inany way.

C160E01A-AAT

Change to "Winter Weight" Oil ifNecessary

In some climates it is recommended that a lowerviscosity "winter weight" oil be used during coldweather. See Section 9 for recommendations.If you aren't sure what weight oil you should use,consult your Hyundai dealer.


19

!

C160K01A-AAT

Carry Emergency Equipment

Depending on the severity of the weather whereyou drive your car, you should carry appropri-ate emergency equipment. Some of the itemsyou may want to carry include tire chains, towstraps or chains, flashlight, emergency flares,sand, a shovel, jumper cables, a window scraper,gloves, ground cloth, coveralls, a blanket, etc.

HIGHER SPEED MOTORING

C170A02A-AAT

Pre-Trip Inspections

1. Tires:Adjust the tire inflation pressures to specifica-tion. Low tire inflation pressures will result inoverheating and possible failure of the tires.Avoid using worn or damaged tires which mayresult in reduced traction or tire failure.

NOTE:Never exceed the maximum tire inflationpressure shown on the tires.

2. Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil:High speed travel consumes more fuel thanurban motoring. Do not forget to check bothengine coolant and engine oil.

3. Drive belt:A loose or damaged drive belt may result inoverheating of the engine.

WARNING:o Underinflated or overinflated tires can

cause poor handling, loss of vehiclecontrol, and sudden tire failure leadingto accidents, injuries, and even death.Always check tires are properly inflatedbefore driving. Refer to pages 2-23 and8-3 for proper tire pressures and furtherinformation.

o Driving on tires with no or insufficienttread is dangerous. Worn-out tires canresult in loss of vehicle control, colli-sions, injury, and even death. Worn-outtires should be replaced as soon aspossible and should never be used fordriving. Always check tire tread beforedriving your car. Refer to 8-10 for furtherinformation and tread limits.


20

C190B01S-AAT

Trailer Hitches

Select the proper hitch and ball combination,making sure that its location is compatible withthat of the trailer or vehicle being towed.Use a quality non-equalizing hitch which distrib-utes the tongue load uniformly throughout thechassis.

The hitch should be bolted securely to the carand installed by a qualified technician. DO NOTUSE A HITCH DESIGNED FOR TEMPORARYINSTALLATION AND NEVER USE ONE THATATTACHES ONLY TO THE BUMPER.

C190C01Y-AAT

Trailer Brakes

If your trailer is equipped with a braking system,make sure it conforms to federal and/or localregulations and that it is properly installed andoperating correctly.

NOTE:If you tow a trailer or vehicle, your car willrequire more frequent maintenance due tothe additional load. See Maintenance UnderSevere Usage Conditions" on page 5-6.

TRAILER OR VEHICLE TOWING

!

C190A01TG-AAT

If you are considering towing with your car, youshould first check with your State's Departmentof Motor Vehicles to determine their legal re-quirements.Since laws vary from State to State the require-ments for towing trailers, cars, or other types ofvehicles or apparatus may differ. Ask yourHyundai dealer for further details before towing.

CAUTION:o Do not do any towing with your car

during its first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) inorder to allow the engine to properlybreak in. Failure to heed this caution mayresult in serious engine or transaxledamage.

o When towing a trailer, be sure to consultyour Hyundai dealer for further informa-tion on additional requirements such asa towing kit, etc.

USE OF LIGHTS

C180A01A-AAT

Check your lights regularly for correct opera-tion and always keep them clean. When drivingduring the day in conditions of poor visibility, itis helpful to drive with headlights on low beam.This enables you to be seen, as well as to see.


21

C190D01S-AAT

Safety Chains

Should the hitch connection between your carand the trailer or vehicle you are towing fail, thetrailer or vehicle could wander dangerouslyacross other lanes of traffic and ultimately leavethe roadway. To eliminate this potentially dan-gerous situation, safety chains, attached be-tween your car and the trailer or towed vehicle,are required in most states.

CAUTION:o Never connect a trailer brake system

directly to the vehicle brake system.o When towing a trailer on steep grades (in

excess of 12%) pay close attention to theengine coolant temperature gauge toensure the engine does not overheat. Ifthe needle of the coolant temperaturegauge moves across the dial towards"H" (HOT), pull over and stop as soon asit is safe to do so, and allow the engineto idle until it cools down. You mayproceed once the engine has cooledsufficiently.

C190F01Y-GAT

Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips

1. Before towing, check hitch and safety chainconnections as well as proper operation ofthe trailer running lights, brake lights, andturn signals.

2. Always drive your vehicle at a moderatespeed. (Less than 60 mph)

3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than normalconditions.

4. To maintain engine braking efficiency andelectrical charging performance, do not towa trailer with the transaxle in fifth gear (manualtransaxle).

5. Always secure items in the trailer to preventload shift while driving.

6. Check the condition and air pressure of alltires on the trailer and your car. Low tirepressure can seriously affect the handling.Also check the spare tire.

7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more af-fected by crosswind and buffeting.When being passed by a large vehicle, keepa constant speed and steer straight ahead.If there is too much wind buffeting, slow downto get out of the other vehicle's air turbulence.

CAUTION:The following specifications are recom-mended when towing a trailer. The loadedtrailer weight cannot safely exceed the val-ues in the chart below.

WARNING:o Improperly loading your vehicle and

trailer can seriously affect its steeringand braking performance causing acrash which could cause serious injuryor death.

o Towing a trailer affects vehicle handlingand braking.

o Drive more slowly when towing a trailerand allow more distance when braking.

o Be careful when driving in slippery andwindy conditions.

o Be careful when turning and while driv-ing up and down hills.

3. The front or rear axle weight must notexceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating(GAWR) shown on the vehicle identifi-cation plate (see page 8-2). It is possiblethat your towing package does not ex-ceed the GVWR but exceeds the GAWR.Improper trailer loading and/or too muchluggage in the trunk can overload therear axle. Redistribute the load and checkthe axle weight again.


23

8. When parking your car and trailer, especiallyon a hill, be sure to follow all the normalprecautions. Turn your front wheel into thecurb, set the parking brake firmly, and put thetransaxle in 1st or Reverse (manual) or Park(automatic). In addition, place wheel chocksat each of the trailer's tires.

9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start yourvehicle and trailer moving, and then apply thetrailer brake controller by hand to be sure thebrakes are working. This lets you checkyour electrical connection at the same time.

10.During your trip, check occasionally to besure that the load is secure, and that thelights and any trailer brakes are still working.

11.Avoid jerky starts, sudden acceleration orsudden stops.

12.Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.13.Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long

or too frequently. This could cause the brakesto overheat, resulting in reduced brakingefficiency.

14.When going down a hill, shift into a lower gearand use the engine braking effect.When ascending a long grade, downshift thetransaxle to a lower gear and reduce speedto reduce chances of engine overloadingand/or overheating.

CAUTION:If overheating should occur when towing,(the temperature gauge reads near red zone),taking the following action may reduce oreliminate the problem.

1. Turn off the air conditioner.2. Reduce highway speed.3. Select a lower gear when going uphill.4. While in stop and go traffic, place the

gear selector in park or neutral and idlethe engine at a higher speed.

hicle, the number of people that can bein your vehicle and vehicle capacityweight.

Vehicle capacity weight:880 lbs (400 kg)Vehicle capacity weight is the maxi-mum combined weight of occupantsand cargo. If your vehicle is equippedwith a trailer, the combined weight in-cludes the tongue load.

Seating capacity:Total: 5 persons

(Front seat: 2 persons,Rear seat: 3 persons)

Seating capacity is the maximum num-ber of occupants including a driver,your vehicle may carry. However theseating capacity may be reduced basedupon the weight of all of the occupants,and the weight of the cargo being car-ried or towed.

Do not overload the vehicle as there isa limit to the total weight, or load limitincluding occupants and cargo, thevehicle can carry.

Towing capacity:Towing capacity is the maximum trailerweight including its cargo weight, yourvehicle can tow. See the section "Traileror Vehicle Towing" for specificationsabout the trailer weight.

Cargo capacity:The cargo capacity of your vehicle willincrease or decrease depending on theweight and the number of occupantsand the tongue load, if your vehicle isequipped with a trailer.

Steps for Determining Correct LoadLimit

(1)Locate the statement "The combinedweight of occupants and cargo shouldnever exceed XXX pounds'' on yourvehicle's placard.

(2)Determine the combined weight ofthe driver and passengers that will beriding in your vehicle.

(3)Subtract the combined weight of thedriver and passengers from XXXkilograms or XXX pounds.

(4)The resulting figure equals the avail-able amount of cargo and luggageload capacity. For example, if the"XXX" amount equals 1400 lbs, andthere will be five 150 lb. passengersin your vehicle, the amount of avail-able cargo and luggage load capac-ity is 650 lbs. (1400-750 (5 x 150) =650 lbs.)

Compliance Label

The compliance label is located on thedriver's side of the center pillar outerpanel.

The label shows the maximum allow-able weight of the fully loaded vehicle.This is called the GVWR (Gross Ve-hicle Weight Rating). The GVWR in-cludes the weight of the vehicle, alloccupants, fuel and cargo.

C190G01A


27

! ! WARNING:o Overloading your vehicle can

cause heat buildup in yourvehicle's tires and possible tirefailure that could lead to a crash.

o Overloading your vehicle cancause increased stopping dis-tances that could lead to a crash.

o A crash resulting from poor han-dling vehicle damage, tire failure,or increased stopping distancescould result in serious injury ordeath.

!

This label also tells you the maximumweights that can be supported by thefront and rear axles, called Gross AxleWeight Rating (GAWR). To find out theactual loads on your front and rearaxles, you need to go to a weigh stationand weigh your vehicle. Your dealer canhelp you with this. Be sure to spread outyour load equally on the left and rightsides of the centerline.

WARNING:o Never exceed the GVWR for your

vehicle, the GAWR for either thefront or rear axle and vehicle ca-pacity weight. Exceeding these rat-ings can cause an accident orvehicle damage. You can calcu-late the weight of your load byweighing the items (or people)before putting them in the vehicle.Be careful not to overload yourvehicle.

WARNING:o Do not load your vehicle any

heavier than the GVWR, either themaximum front or rear GAWR andvehicle capacity weight. If you do,parts, including tires on your ve-hicle can break, and it can changethe way your vehicle handles andbraking ability.

3WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

3JUMP STARTING

!

o If you should accidentally get acid on yourskin or in your eyes, immediately removeany contaminated clothing and flush the areawith clean water for at least 15 minutes. Thenpromptly obtain medical attention. If youmust be transported to an emergency facil-ity, continue to apply water to the affectedarea with a sponge or cloth.

o The gas produced by the battery during thejump-start operation is highly explosive. Donot smoke or allow a spark or an open flamein the vicinity.

o The battery being used to provide the jumpstart must be 12-volt. If you cannot deter-mine that it is a 12-volt battery, do not attemptto use it for the jump start.

o To jump start a car with a discharged battery,follow this procedure exactly:

1. If the booster battery is installed in anothervehicle, be sure the two vehicles are nottouching.

2. Turn off all unnecessary lights and acces-sories in both vehicles.

3. Attach the clamps of the jumper cable in theexact location shown on the illustration. First,attach one clamp of the jumper cable to thepositive (+) post or cable of the dischargedbattery.

Then attach the other end of the same cableto the positive (+) post or cable of the boosterbattery. Next, using the other cable, attachone clamp to the negative (-) post or cableof the booster battery. Then attach the otherend of that cable to a solid metal part of theengine of the vehicle with the dischargedbattery away from the battery. Do not con-nect the cable to any moving part.

4. Start the engine in the car with the boosterbattery and let it run for a few minutes. Thiswill help to assure that the booster battery isfully charged. During the jumping operation,run the engine in this vehicle at about 2,000rpm.

5. Start the engine in the car with the dis-charged battery using the normal startingprocedure. After the engine starts, leave thejumper cables connected and let the enginerun at fast idle or about 2,000 rpm for severalminutes.

6. Carefully remove the jumper cables in thereverse order of attachment.

If you do not know why your battery becamedischarged (because the lights were left on,etc.), have the charging system checked byyour Hyundai dealer.

D020A03A-AAT

WARNING:The gas produced by the battery during thejump-start operation is highly explosive. Ifthese instructions are not followed exactly,serious personal injury and damage to thevehicle may occur! If you are not sure howto follow this procedure, seek qualifiedassistance. Automobile batteries containsulfuric acid. This is poisonous and highlycorrosive. When jump starting, wear pro-tective glasses and be careful not to getacid on yourself, your clothing or on the car.

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS

!

!

!

WARNING:While the engine is running, keep hair,hands and clothing away from moving partssuch as the fan and drive belts to preventinjury.

5. If the water pump drive belt is broken orengine coolant is leaking out, stop the engineimmediately and call the nearest Hyundaidealer for assistance.

WARNING:Do not remove the radiator cap when theengine is hot. This can allow coolant to beblown out of the opening and cause seri-ous burns.

6. If you cannot find the cause of the overheat-ing, wait until the engine temperature hasreturned to normal. Then, if coolant has beenlost, carefully add coolant to the reservoir(page 6-9) to bring the fluid level in thereservoir up to the halfway mark.

7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for fur-ther signs of overheating. If overheatinghappens again, call a Hyundai dealer forassistance.

CAUTION:Serious loss of coolant indicates there is aleak in the cooling system and this shouldbe checked as soon as possible by a Hyundaidealer.

D030A02A-AAT

If your temperature gauge indicates overheat-ing, you experience a loss of power, or hear loudpinging or knocking, the engine is probably toohot. If this happens, you should:

1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safeto do so.

2. Place the gear selector lever in "P" (auto-matic) or neutral (manual transaxle) and setthe parking brake. If the air conditioning is on,turn it off.

3. If engine coolant is running out under the caror steam is coming out from the hood, stopthe engine. Do not open the hood until thecoolant has stopped running or the steaminghas stopped. If there is no visible loss ofengine coolant and no steam, leave theengine running and check to be sure theengine cooling fan is operating. If the fan isnot running, turn the engine off.

4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt ismissing. If it is not missing, check to see thatit is tight. If the drive belt seems to besatisfactory, check for coolant leaking fromthe radiator, hoses or under the car. (If theair conditioning had been in use, it is normalfor cold water to be draining from it when youstop).

4 CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE

2 CORROSION PROTECTION

E020B01A-AAT

Keep Your Car Clean

The best way to prevent corrosion is to keepyour car clean and free of corrosive materials.Attention to the underside of the car is particu-larly important.

o If you live in a high-corrosion area — whereroad salts are used, near the ocean, areaswith industrial pollution, acid rain, etc.—, youshould take extra care to prevent corrosion.In winter, hose off the underside of your carat least once a month and be sure to cleanthe underside thoroughly when winter isover.

o When cleaning underneath the car, giveparticular attention to the components underthe fenders and other areas that are hiddenfrom view. Do a thorough job; just dampeningthe accumulated mud rather than washing itaway will accelerate corrosion rather thanprevent it. Water under high pressure andsteam are particularly effective in removingaccumulated mud and corrosive materials.

E020A01A-AAT

You can help prevent corrosion from gettingstarted by observing the following:

E010D01A-AAT

Moisture Breeds Corrosion

Moisture creates the conditions in which corro-sion is most likely to occur. For example, cor-rosion is accelerated by high humidity, particu-larly when temperatures are just above freez-ing. In such conditions, the corrosive material iskept in contact with the car surfaces by mois-ture that is slow to evaporate.Mud is particularly corrosive because it is slowto dry and holds moisture in contact with thevehicle. Although the mud appears to be dry, itcan still retain the moisture and promote corro-sion.High temperatures can also accelerate corro-sion of parts that are not properly ventilated sothe moisture can be dispersed. For all thesereasons, it is particularly important to keep yourcar clean and free of mud or accumulations ofother materials. This applies not only to thevisible surfaces but particularly to the undersideof the car.

E010C01A-AAT

High-Corrosion Areas

If you live in an area where your car is regularlyexposed to corrosive materials, corrosion pro-tection is particularly important. Some of thecommon causes of accelerated corrosion areroad salts, dust control chemicals, ocean airand industrial pollution.

E010B01A-AAT

Common Causes of Corrosion

The most common causes of corrosion on yourcar are:

o Road salt, dirt and moisture that is allowed toaccumulate underneath the car.

o Removal of paint or protective coatings bystones, gravel, abrasion or minor scrapesand dents which leave unprotected metalexposed to corrosion.

E010A01A-AAT

Protecting Your Hyundai from Corro-sion

By using the most advanced design and con-struction practices to combat corrosion,Hyundai produces cars of the highest quality.However, this is only part of the job. To achievethe long-term corrosion resistance yourHyundai can deliver, the owner's cooperationand assistance is also required.

TO HELP PREVENT CORROSION

nfhma-4.p65 3/9/2005, 10:45 AM2

4CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE

3WASHING AND WAXING

E020E01A-AAT

Don't Neglect the Interior

Moisture can collect under the floor mats andcarpeting to cause corrosion. Check under themats periodically to be sure the carpeting is dry.Use particular care if you carry fertilizers, clean-ing materials or chemicals in the car.These should be carried only in proper contain-ers and any spills or leaks should be cleaned up,flushed with clean water and thoroughly dried.

E020C01A-AAT

Keep Your Garage Dry

Don't park your car in a damp, poorly ventilatedgarage. This creates a favorable environmentfor corrosion. This is particularly true if youwash your car in the garage or drive it into thegarage when it is still wet or covered with snow,ice or mud. Even a heated garage can contrib-ute to corrosion unless it is well ventilated somoisture is dispersed.

E030A01A-AAT

Washing Your Hyundai

Never wash your car when the surface is hotfrom being in the sun. Always wash your car inthe shade.

Wash your car frequently. Dirt is abrasive andcan scratch the paint if it is not removed. Airpollution or acid rain may damage the paint andtrim through chemical action if pollutants areallowed to remain in contact with the surface. Ifyou live near the ocean or in an area where roadsalts or dust control chemicals are used, youshould pay particular attention to the undersideof the car. Start by rinsing the car to remove dustand loose dirt. In winter, or if you have driventhrough mud or muddy water, be sure to thor-oughly clean the underside as well. Use a harddirect stream of water to remove accumulationsof mud or corrosive materials. Use a goodquality car-washing solution and follow themanufacturer's directions on the package.These are available at your Hyundai dealer orauto parts outlet. Don't use strong householddetergents, gasoline, strong solvents or abra-sive cleaning powders as these may damagethe finish.Use a clean sponge or cloth, rinse it frequentlyand don't damage the finish by rubbing too hard.For stubborn spots, dampen them frequentlyand remove them a little at a time.

o When cleaning lower door panels, rockerpanels and frame members, be sure thatdrain holes are kept open so that moisturecan escape and not be trapped inside to ac-celerate corrosion.

E020D02A-AAT

Keep Paint and Trim in Good Condition

Scratches or chips in the finish should becovered with "touch-up" paint as soon as pos-sible to reduce the possibility of corrosion. Ifbare metal is showing through, the attention ofa qualified body and paint shop is recommended.

Bird droppings : Bird droppings are highly cor-rosive and may damage painted surfaces in justa few hours. Always remove bird droppings assoon as possible.

nfhma-4.p65 3/9/2005, 10:45 AM3

E030D01A-AAT

When to Wax Again

You should polish and wax the car again whenwater no longer beads on a clean surface butspreads out over a larger area.

E030C01A-AAT

Polishing and Waxing

Always wash and dry the car before polishingor waxing or using a combination cleaner andwax. Use a good quality commercial productand follow the manufacturer's directions on thecontainer. Polish and wax the bright trim piecesas well as the paint.

E030B01A-AAT

Spot Cleaning

Don't use gasoline, strong solvents or corro-sive cleaning agents. These can damage thefinish of the car. To remove road tar, useturpentine on a clean, soft cloth. Be gentle.To remove dead insects or tree sap, use warmwater and mild soap or car-washing solution.Soak the spot and rub gently. If the paint has lostits luster, use a commercial car-cleaning polish.

If you find any nicks or scratches in the paint,use touch-up paint to cover them to preventcorrosion. To protect the paintwork of the caragainst corrosion, you must clean your Hyundai(at least once a month). Give special attentionto the removal of salt, mud and other sub-stances on the underside of the splashboardsof the car. Make sure that the outlets and theunderside of the doors are open. Paint damagecan be caused by small accumulation of tar,industrial precipitation, tree resin, insects andbird droppings, when not removed immediately.If water alone is not strong enough to remove theaccumulated dirt, use a mild car washing solu-tion. Be sure to rinse the surface after washingto remove the solution. Never allow the solutionto dry on the painted surfaces.

To clean whitewall tires, use a stiff brush orsoapy steel-wool scouring pad.

To clean plastic wheel covers, use a cleansponge or soft cloth and water.

To clean cast aluminum alloy wheels, use a mildsoap or neutral detergent. Do not use abrasivecleaners. Protect the bare-metal surfaces bycleaning, polishing and waxing. Because alumi-num is subject to corrosion, be sure to givealuminum alloy wheels special attention in win-ter. If you drive on salted roads, clean thewheels thoroughly afterwards.

After washing, be sure to rinse thoroughly. Ifsoapy water dries on the finish, streaking willresult.

When the weather is warm and the humidity low,you may find it necessary to rinse each sectionimmediately after washing to avoid streaking.

After rinsing, dry the car using a damp chamoisor soft, absorbent cloth. The reason for dryingthe car is to remove water from the car so it willdry without water spots. Don't rub, this candamage the finish.

5CLEANING THE INTERIOR

E040B01A-AAT

To Clean the Leather Upholstery(If Installed)

In the normal course of use, leather upholsteredsurfaces will, like any material, pick-up dust anddirt. This dust and dirt must be cleaned off or itmay work into the surface of the leather, caus-ing damage.

Fine leather needs care, and should be cleanedwhen necessary. Washing leather thoroughlywith soap and water will keep your leatherlustrous, beautiful and ensure you have manyyears of wear.Take a piece of cheese cloth and using any mildsoap and lukewarm water, work up a goodlather. Thoroughly wash the leather. Wipe cleanwith a slightly damp cloth and dry with soft cloth.Do this as often as the leather becomes soiled.

During tanning operations, sufficient oils areincorporated through processing that none needbe applied during the life of the leather.

To Check the Coolant Level

The coolant level can be seen on the side of theplastic coolant reservoir. The level of the cool-ant should be between the "L" and "F" lines onthe reservoir when the engine is warm with it atidle . If the level is below the "L" mark, add enginecoolant to bring it up to "F". If the level is low,inspect for coolant leaks and recheck the fluidlevel frequently. If the level drops again, visityour Hyundai dealer for an inspection anddiagnosis of the reason.

G050D01NF-GAT

To Change the Engine Coolant

The engine coolant should be changed at thoseintervals specified in the vehicle maintenanceschedule in Section 5.

CAUTION:o Engine coolant can damage the finish of

your car. If you spill engine coolant onthe car, wash it off thoroughly with cleanwater.

o The engine in your vehicle has alumi-num engine parts and must be protectedby an ethylene-glycol base coolant toprevent corrosion and freezing.Do not use hard water. Hard water cancause engine damage from corrosion,overheating or freezing.

!

1. Park the car on level ground, set the parkingbrake and remove the radiator cap whencool.

3. Be sure your drain receptacle is in place.Open the drain cock on the radiator. Allow allthe engine coolant to drain from the coolingsystem, and then securely close the draincock.

4. Check Section 9 for the capacity of thecooling system in your car. Then, followingthe manufacturer's directions on the enginecoolant container, add the appropriate quan-tity of coolant to the radiator.

5. Slowly fill the radiator with the proper coolantmixture (see the "Recommended EngineCoolant in previous page) until the fluid levelstays up in the radiator neck. And pump theradiator hose in order to bleed the air.

HNF5008

2. Wrap a thick cloth around the radiator capand slowly turn the radiator cap counter-clockwise without pressing down on it, untilit stops. This relieves any pressure remain-ing in the cooling system. When you are surethat all the pressure has been released,remove the radiator cap by pushing downand turning counterclockwise.

G050D02NF-A G050D01NF

6. Run the engine at idle until the coolant circu-lates. If the cooling fan operates and thecoolant starts to circulate, add the coolant tothe reservoir.

7. To bleed the air in the cooling system, repeatprocedure 6 until the cooling fan operates3~5 times.

8. Replace the radiator cap and turn it untiltightly installed. And then, add coolant to thereservoir until the level is between "L" and"F".

9. Stop the engine and check the coolant levelwhen the engine is cool. The level of thecoolant should be the "L" and "F" lines on thereservoir. If the level is below the "L" line,repeat the procedure 4~8 until the levelbetween "L" and "F".

7 EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS

2 EMISSION CONTROLSYSTEMS

H010B01A-AAT

1. Crankcase Emission Control System

The positive crankcase ventilation system isemployed to prevent air pollution caused byblow-by gases being emitted from the crank-case. This system supplies fresh filtered air tothe crankcase through the air intake hose.Inside the crankcase, the fresh air mixes withblow-by gases, which then pass through thePCV valve into the induction system.

Canister

Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel tank areabsorbed and stored in the onboard canister.When the engine is running, the fuel vaporsabsorbed in the canister are drawn into thesurge tank through the purge control solenoidvalve.

Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)

The purge control solenoid valve is controlledby the Engine Control Module (ECM); when theengine coolant temperature is low during idling,the PCSV closes so that evaporated fuel is nottaken into the engine. After the engine warms-up during ordinary driving, the PCSV opens tointroduce evaporated fuel to the engine.

H010D01A-AAT

3. Exhaust Emission ControlSystem

The Exhaust Emission Control System is ahighly effective system which controls exhaustemissions while maintaining good vehicle per-formance.

H010A01NF-AAT

Your Hyundai is equipped with an emissioncontrol system to meet all emission regulations.There are three emission control systems whichare as follows.

(1) Crankcase emission control system(2) Evaporative emission control system(3) Exhaust emission control system

In order to assure the proper function of theemission control systems, it is recommendedthat you have your car inspected and main-tained by an authorized Hyundai dealer in ac-cordance with the maintenance schedule in thismanual.

Caution for the Inspection and MaintenanceTest (With Electronic Stability Control (ESC)system)

o To prevent the vehicle from misfiringduring dynamometer testing, turn theElectronic Stability Control (ESC) sys-tem off by pressing the ESC switch.

o After dynamometer testing is completed,turn the ESC system back on by pressingthe ESC switch again.

H010C01S-AAT

2. Evaporative Emission Control (Includ-ing ORVR: Onboard Refueling VaporRecovery) System

The Evaporative Emission Control System isdesigned to prevent fuel vapors from escapinginto the atmosphere.(The ORVR system is designed to allow thevapors from the fuel tank to be loaded into acanister while refueling at the gas station, pre-venting the escape of fuel vapors into theatmosphere.)

CATALYTIC CONVERTER

H020A01A-AAT

All Hyundai vehicles are equipped with a mono-lith type three-way catalytic converter to re-duce the carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons andnitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas.Exhaust gases passing through the catalyticconverter cause it to operate at a very hightemperature. The introduction of large amountsof unburned gasoline into the exhaust maycause the catalytic converter to overheat andcreate a fire hazard. This risk may be reducedby observing the following:

Catalytic Converter

WARNING:o Use unleaded fuel only.o Maintain the engine in good operating

condition. Extremely high catalytic con-verter temperatures can result from im-proper operation of the electrical, igni-tion or multiport electronic fuel injec-tion.

o If your engine stalls, pings, knocks, or ishard to start, have your Hyundai dealerinspect and repair the problem as soonas possible.

o Avoid driving with a very low fuel level.Running out of gasoline may cause theengine to misfire and result in damage tothe catalytic converter.

o Avoid idling the engine for periodslonger than 10 minutes.

o The vehicle should not be pushed orpulled to get started. This may cause thecatalytic converter to overheat and cre-ate a fire hazard.

o Do not touch the catalytic converter orany other part of the exhaust systemwhile the catalytic converter is hot. Shutoff the engine, wait for at least one hourbefore touching the catalytic converteror any other part of the exhaust system.

H020A01NF

o Remember that your Hyundai dealer isyour best source of assistance.

o Do not stop your Hyundai over any com-bustible material such as grass, paper,leaves or rags. These materials mightcontact the hot catalytic converter and afire might result.

RECOMMENDED COLD TIRE INFLA-TION PRESSURES

Tire label located on the driver's side ofthe center pillar outer panel gives thecold tire pressures recommended foryour vehicle with the original tire size,the number of people that can be in yourvehicle and vehicle capacity weight.

These pressures were chosen to pro-vide the most satisfactory combinationof ride comfort, tire wear and stabilityunder normal conditions. Tire pressuresshould be checked at least monthly.Proper tire inflation pressures shouldbe maintained for these reasons:

I030A01NF-A

I030A03NF-A

I030A04NF-A

! WARNING:o Inspect your tires frequently for

proper inflation as well as wearand damage. Always use a tirepressure gauge.

o Tires with too much or too littlepressure wear unevenly causingpoor handling, loss of vehiclecontrol, and sudden tire failureleading to accidents, injuries, andeven death. The recommendedcold tire pressure for your vehiclecan be found in this manual andon the tire label located on thedriver's side of the center pillar.

o Worn tires can cause accidents.Replace tires that are worn, showuneven wear, or are damaged. Seepage 8-11.

o Remember to check the pressureof your spare tire. Hyundai recom-mends that you check the spareevery time you check the pressureof the other tires on your vehicle.

I035A01JM-AAT

CHECKING TIRE INFLATION PRES-SURE

Check your tires once a month or more.Also, check the tire pressure of thespare tire.

How to Check

Use a good quality gauge to check tirepressure. You cannot tell if your tiresare properly inflated simply by lookingat them. Radial tires may look properlyinflated even when they're underinflated.Check the tire's inflation pressure whenthe tires are cold. - "Cold" means yourvehicle has been sitting for at leastthree hours or driven no more than 1mile (1.6 km).

CAUTION:Always observe the following:

o Check pressures when the tiresare cold. (After the vehicle hasbeen parked for at least three hoursor hasn't been driven more than 1mile (1.6 km) since starting up.)

o Check the pressure of your sparetire each time you check the pres-sure of other tires.

o Worn, old tires can cause acci-dents. If your tread is badly worn,or if your tires have been dam-aged, replace them.

!NOTE:o Underinflation also results in ex-

cessive wear, poor handling andreduced fuel economy. Wheel de-formation also is possible. Keepyour tire pressures at the properlevels. If a tire frequently needsrefilling, have it checked by yourHyundai Dealer.

o Overinflation produces a harshride, excessive wear at the centerof the tire tread, and a greaterpossibility of damage from roadhazards.

WARNING:Overinflation or underinflation canreduce the tire life, adversely affectvehicle handling, and lead to sud-den tire failure. This could rusult inloss of vehicle control and potentialinjury.


5

Remove the valve cap from the tirevalve stem. Press the tire gauge firmlyonto the valve to get a pressure mea-surement. If the cold tire inflation pres-sure matches the recommended pres-sure on the tire and loading informationlabel, no further adjustment is neces-sary. If the pressure is low, add air untilyou reach the recommended amount.If you overfill the tire, release air bypushing on the metal stem in the centerof the tire valve. Recheck the tire pres-sure with the tire gauge. Be sure to putthe valve caps back on the valve stems.They help prevent leaks by keeping outdirt and moisture.

Federal law requires tire manufacturersto place standardized information onthe sidewall of all tires. This informationidentifies and describes the fundamen-tal characteristics of the tire and alsoprovides the tire identification number(TIN) for safety standard certification.The TIN can be used to identify the tirein case of a recall.

TIRE CHAINS

Tire chains, if necessary, should beinstalled on the front wheels. Be surethat the chains are the proper size andthat they are installed in accordancewith the manufacturer's instructions.To minimize tire and chain wear, do notcontinue to use tire chains when theyare no longer needed.

I040B01JM-AAT

ALL SEASON TIRES

Hyundai specifies all season tires onsome models to provide good perfor-mance for use all year round, includingsnowy and icy road conditions. All sea-son tires are identified by ALL SEASONand/or M+S (Mud and Snow) on the tiresidewall. Snow tires have better snowtraction than all season tires an may bemore appropriate in some areas.

I040A01O-AAT

SNOW TIRES

If you equip your car with snow tires,they should be the same size and havethe same load capacity as the originaltires. Snow tires should be installed onall four wheels; otherwise, poor han-dling may result.Snow tires should carry 4 psi (28 kPa)more air pressure than the pressurerecommended for the standard tires onthe tire label on the driver's side of thecenter pillar , or up to the maximumpressure shown on the tire sidewall,whichever is less.Do not drive faster than 75 mph (120km/h) when your car is equipped withsnow tires.


10

I070A01A-AAT

TIRE BALANCING

A tire that is out of balance may affecthandling and tire wear. The tires on yourHyundai were balanced before the carwas delivered but may need balancingagain during the years you own the car.Whenever a tire is dismounted for re-pair, it should be rebalanced beforebeing reinstalled on the car.

!I060A02A-AAT

TIRE ROTATION

Tires should be rotated every 7,500miles (12,000 km). If you notice thattires are wearing unevenly between ro-tations, have the car checked by aHyundai dealer so the cause may becorrected.After rotating, adjust the tire pressuresand be sure to check the wheel nuttorque.

WARNING:o Do not use the temporary spare

tire for tire rotation.o Do not mix bias ply and radial ply

tires under any circumstances.This may cause unusual handlingcharacteristics that could result indeath, serious injury, or propertydamage.

I060A02NF

! WARNING:o When driving on roads covered

with snow or ice, drive at less than20 mph (30 km/h).

o Use the SAE "S" class or wire &plastic chains.

o If you have noise caused by chainscontacting the body, retighten thechain to avoid contact with thevehicle body.

o To prevent body damage, retightenthe chains after driving 0.3~0.6miles.

o Don't use a tire chains on a vehicleequipped with aluminium wheels.If it is unavoidable use wire-typechains.

o Use wire chains less than 15mm toprevent damage to the chain's con-nection.


11

!WARNING:

To reduce the chance or serious orfatal injuries from an accident causedby tire failure or loss of vehicle con-trol:o Replace tires that are worn, show

uneven wear, or are damaged.Worn tires can cause loss of brak-ing effectiveness, steering con-trol, and traction.

o Do not drive your vehicle with toolittle or too much pressure in yourtires. This can lead to unevenwear and tire failure.

o When replacing tires, never mixradial and bias-ply tires on thesame car. You must replace alltires (including the spare) if mov-ing from radial to bias-ply tires.

HNF5015

I090A03JM-AAT

WHEN TO REPLACE TIRES

The original tires on your car have treadwear indicators. The location of treadwear indicators is shown by the "TWI"or " " marks, etc. The tread wearindicators appear when the tread depthis 0.06 in. (1.6 mm). The tire should bereplaced when these appear as a solidbar across two or more grooves of thetread. Always replace your tires withthose of the recommended size. If youchange wheels, the new wheel's rimwidth and offset must meet Hyundaispecification.

Tread wearindicator

0.06 in. (1.6 mm)

I080A01A-AAT

TIRE TRACTION

Tire traction can be reduced if you driveon worn tires, tires that are improperlyinflated or on slippery road surfaces.Tires should be replaced when treadwear indicators appear. To reduce thepossibility of losing control, slow downwhenever there is rain, snow or ice onthe road.


12

!!I090B02JM-AAT

TIRE MAINTENANCE

In addition to proper inflation, correctwheel alignment helps to decrease tirewear. If you find a tire is worn unevenly,have your dealer check the wheel align-ment.

When you have new tires installed,make sure they are balanced. This willincrease vehicle ride comfort and tirelife. Additionally, a tire shoud always berebalanced if it is removed from thewheel.

o Using tires and wheel other thanthe recommended sizes couldcause unusual handling charac-teristics and poor vehicle control,resulting in a serious accident.

o Wheels that do not meet Hyundai'sspecifications may fit poorly andresult in damage to the vehicle orunusual handling and poor ve-hicle control.

WARNING: WARNING:o Underinflated or overinflated tires

can cause poor handling, loss ofvehicle control, and sudden tirefailure leading to accidents, inju-ries, and even death. Always checktires are properly inflated beforedriving. Refer to pages 2-22 and 8-3 for proper tire pressures andfurther information.

o Driving on tires with no or insuffi-cient tread is dangerous. Worn-out tires can result in loss of ve-hicle control, collisions, and in-jury and even death. Worn-outtires should be replaced as soonas possible and should never beused for driving. Always checktire tread before driving your car.Refer to this page for further infor-mation and tread limits.

Traction AA, A, B, C - The tractiongrades, from highest to lowest, are AA,A, B, and C. Those grades representthe tire's ability to stop on wet pave-ment as measured under controlledconditions on specified government testsurfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tiremarked C may have poor traction per-formance.

! WARNING:The traction grade assigned to thistire is based on straight-ahead brak-ing traction tests, and does not in-clude acceleration, cornering, hy-droplaning, or peak traction charac-teristics.

Tire Quality Grading

Department of Transportation qualitygrades - All passenger vehicle tiresmust conform to Federal Safety Stan-dards in addition to these grades. Thesequality grades are molded on thesidewall.

Treadwear - The treadwear grade is acomparative rating based on the wearrate of the tire when tested under con-trolled conditions on a specified gov-ernment test course. For example, atire graded 150 would wear one and ahalf (1 - 1/2) times as well on thegovernment course as a tire graded100. The relative performance of tiresdepends upon the actual conditions oftheir use, however, and may departsignificantly from the norm due to varia-tions in driving habits, service prac-tices and differences in road character-istics and climate.


15

Temperature A, B, C - The tempera-ture grades are A (the highest), B, andC, representing the tire's resistance tothe generation of heat and its ability todissipate heat when tested under con-trolled conditions on a specified indoorlaboratory test wheel. Sustained hightemperature can cause the material ofthe tire to degenerate and reduce tirelife, and excessive temperature canlead to sudden tire failure. The grade Ccorresponds to a level of performancewhich all passenger car tires must meetunder the Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandard No. 109. Grades B and Arepresent higher levels of performanceon the laboratory test wheel than theminimum required by law.

!WARNING:

The temperature grade for this tire isestablished for a tire that is properlyinflated and not overloaded. Exces-sive speed, underinflation, or exces-sive loading, either separately or incombination, can cause heat buildupand possible tire failure.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading - Qual-ity grades can be found on the tiresidewall between the tread shoulderand the maximum section width.For example :Treadwear 200 Traction AA Tempera-ture A
