All information in this Owner's Manual is current at the time of publication. However, Hyundai reserves the right to make changes at any
time so that our policy of continual product improvement may be carried out.
This manual applies to all Hyundai
models and includes descriptions and explanations of optional as well as standard equipment.
As a result, you may find material in this manual that does not apply to your specific vehicle.

CAUTION: MODIFICATIONS TO YOUR HYUNDAI

Your Hyundai should not be modified in any way. Such modifications may adversely affect the performance, safety
or durability of your Hyundai and may, in addition, violate conditions of the limited warranties covering the vehicle.
Certain modifications may also be in violation of regulations established by the U.S. Department of Transportation
and other federal or state agencies.

A080A01S-AAT

TWO-WAY RADIO OR CELLULAR TELEPHONE INSTALLATION
Your vehicle is equipped with electronic fuel injection and other electronic components. It is possible for an
improperly installed/adjusted two-way radio or cellular telephone to adversely affect electronic systems. For this

SAFETY AND VEHICLE DAMAGE WARNING
This manual includes information titled as WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE.
These titles indicate the following:

WARNING:

This indicates that a condition may result in harm, serious injury or death to you or other persons if
the warning is not heeded. Follow the advice provided with the warning.

CAUTION:

This indicates that a condition may result in damage to your vehicle or its equipment if the caution is

A110A01A-AAT

VEHICLE DATA COLLECTION AND EVENT DATA RECORDERS
Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with many high technology, electronically controlled systems that help to ensure
your vehicle operates properly and provides the performance that you expect. These systems utilize computers
to monitor the operation of various systems and components and help to control their operation. These
computerized system operations are wide-ranging and involve components to reduce emissions, to continuously
evaluate the readiness of the airbag and seat belt pretensioner systems, to determine when the airbag and seat
belt pre-tensioner systems should be deployed and then to activate the deployment, and if equipped, to operate
anti-lock braking, traction control and electrical stability control to assist the driver to control the vehicle in difficult
driving situations. These systems electronically store information that is useful to service technicians when they
need to diagnose and repair these systems. Additional information is stored only when a crash occurs that results
in the deployment of the airbags or seat belt pre-tensioners. This type of data storage is done by devices called
event data recorders(EDR).
After a crash event, the airbag and seat belt pre-tensioner computer system, known as the Supplemental
Restraint System Control Module (SRSCM) or Airbag Control Unit (ACU), may record some information about
the condition of the vehicle and how it was being operated. This information consists of data related to seat belt
usage 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 airbag
deployment.
To retrieve this information, special equipment is needed and access to the vehicle or the device that stores the
data is required. Hyundai will not access information about a crash event or share it with others except:
o
o
o
o

in response to an official request of police or similar government office, or
with the consent of the vehicle owner or, if the vehicle is leased, with the consent of the lessee, or
as part of Hyundai’s defense of litigation through the discovery process, or
as required by law.

FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
B010A02A-AAT

B010D01A-AAT

Use Unleaded Gasoline

UNLEADED
FUEL ONLY

Do Not Use Methanol
CAUTION:

o Do not "TOP-OFF" after the first nozzle
shut off when refueling.
o The fuel cap must be tightened at least
3 clicks, otherwise "
" light may illuminate.

Fuels containing methanol (wood alcohol) should
not be used in your Hyundai. This type of fuel
can reduce vehicle performance and damage
components of the fuel system.

!
B010B01A-AAT

What About Gasohol?

B010A04A

Unleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane
Rating of 87 (Research Octane Number 91)
or higher must be used in your Hyundai.
If leaded gasoline is used, it will cause the
catalytic converter to become ineffective and
the emission control system to malfunction. This
can also result in increased maintenance expense.
To avoid accidental use of leaded fuel, the larger
nozzle used with leaded gasoline at service
stations cannot be inserted into the fuel tank
opening of your Hyundai.

Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gasoline
and 10% ethanol or grain alcohol) may be used
in your Hyundai. However, if your engine develops driveability problems, the use of 100% unleaded gasoline is recommended. Fuels with
unspecified quantities of alcohol, or alcohols
other than ethanol, should not be used.
B010C01A-AAT

Use of MTBE
Hyundai recommends that fuels containing
MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) over 15.0%
vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) should not
be used in your Hyundai.
Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen
Content 2.7% weight) may reduce vehicle performance and produce vapor lock or hard starting.

CAUTION:

Your Hyundai's New Vehicle Limited Warranty may not cover damage to the fuel system
and any performance problems that are caused
by the use of fuels containing methanol or
fuels containing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl
Ether) over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7%
weight.)

BREAKING IN YOUR NEW HYUNDAI
B010E01A-AAT

B020A01S-AAT

Gasolines for Cleaner Air

During the First 1200 Miles (2000 Km)

To help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai recommends that you use gasolines treated with
detergent additives, which help prevent deposit
formation in the engine. These gasolines will
help the engine run cleaner and enhance
performance of the Emission Control System.

No formal "break-in" procedure is required with
your new Hyundai. However, you can contribute
to the economical operation and durability of
your Hyundai by observing the following recommendations during the first 1200 miles (2000
km).

B010F01A-AAT

Operation in Foreign Countries
If you are going to drive your Hyundai in another
country, be sure to:
o Observe all regulations regarding registration and insurance.
o Determine that acceptable fuel is available.

o Don't drive faster than 55 MPH (88 km/h).
o While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm,
or revolutions per minute) between 2,000
rpm and 4,000 rpm.
o Use moderate acceleration. Don't start quickly
or depress the accelerator pedal fully.
o For the first 200 miles (300 km), try to avoid
hard stops.
o Don't lug the engine (in other words, don't
drive so slowly in too high a gear that the
engine "bucks"-shift to a lower gear).
o Whether going fast or slow, vary your speed
from time to time.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than 3 minutes at one time.
o Don't tow a trailer during the first 1,200 miles
(2,000 km) of operation.

Locking and Unlocking Front Doors with
a Key
WARNING:

o Unlocked doors can be dangerous. Before you drive away (especially if there
are children in the car), be sure that all the
doors are securely closed and locked so
that the doors cannot be opened from the
inside. This helps ensure that the doors
will not be opened accidentally. Also,
when combined with the proper use of
seat belts, locking the doors helps keep
occupants from being ejected from the
car in case of an accident.
o Before opening the door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic.

Adjustable Headrests

WARNING:

To minimize risk of severe injury in the event
of a collision or sudden stop, both the driver
and passenger seatbacks should always be in
a nearly upright position while the vehicle is
in motion. The protection provided by the
seat belts and airbags in a frontal collision
may be reduced significantly when the
seatback is reclined. There is greater risk
that the driver and passenger will slide
under the seat belt which may result in
serious injury if a crash occurs when the
seatback is reclined.

WARNING:

the seatback will tilt forward and the seat will
automatically slide forward.
Rear seat occupants can tilt the front
passenger's seatback by depressing the foot
lever (2) as shown in the illustration.

WARNING:

Passengers sitting in the rear seat should be
careful not to accidentally press the foot lever
(2) while the vehicle is moving, as this may
cause the seatback to move forward and injure a front seat occupant.

WARNING:

o For maximum effectiveness in case of
an accident, the headrest should be
adjusted so the top of the headrest is
at the same height as the top of the
occupant's ears. The use of a cushion
that holds the body away from the
seatback is not recommended.
o Do not operate vehicle with the headrests removed as severe injury to an
occupant may occur in the event of an
accident. Headrests may provide protection against severe neck injuries
when properly adjusted.

Folding Rear Seatbacks
(If Installed)

B110A01A-1

WARNING:

The purpose of the fold-down rear seatbacks
is to allow you to carry longer objects than
could otherwise be accommodated. Never
allow passengers to sit on top of the foldeddown seatback while the car is moving as this
is not a proper seating position and no seat
belts are available for use when the seatbacks
are folded down. This could result in serious
injury or death in case of an accident or a
sudden stop. Objects carried on the foldeddown seatback should not extend higher than
the top of the front seats. This could allow
cargo to slide forward and cause injury or
damage during sudden stops.

For greater convenience, the entire seatback
may be folded down or the seatbacks may be
folded down individually.
o To unlock the seatback, pull up the seatback
locking knob, then push forward on the
seatback panel.
o When you return the seatback to its upright
position, always be sure it has locked into
position by pulling and pushing on the top of
the seatback.
B110A02A-1

WARNING:

When you return the rear seatback to its
upright position after being folded down,
be careful not to damage the seat belt
webbing or buckle. In addition, do not allow
the seat belt webbing or buckle to get
caught or pinched in the rear seat.

REAR SEAT WARNING

WARNING:

All occupants of the vehicle must wear their
seat belts at all times. Note that this vehicle is
equipped with a Supplemental Restraint
(Airbag) System as discussed beginning on
page 1-30. The seat belts must be used in
conjunction with the supplemental airbag system. State laws require that some or all occupants of the vehicle use seat belts. The possibility of increased injury or severity of injury
in an accident will be increased if this elementary safety precaution is not observed.
In addition, follow the other instructions
provided in this section.
B140A01A

For the safety of all passengers, luggage or
other cargo should not be piled higher than the
top of the seatback. In addition, do not place
objects on the rear shelf as they may move
forward during braking or in an accident and
strike vehicle passengers.

All 50 states have child restraint laws. You
should be aware of the specific requirements in
your state. Child and/or infant safety seats must
be properly placed and installed in the rear seat.
Information about the use of these restraints
begins on page 1-22.

WARNING:

Every person in your vehicle needs to be
buckled up at all times, including infants and
children. In a collision, an unrestrained child
can become a "missile" inside the car. The
force required to hold a child on your lap
could be so great that you could not hold the
child. Any child riding in the vehicle should
always be in a proper restraint.

NOTE:
Small children are best protected from injury
in an accident when properly restrained in the
rear seat by a child restraint system that
meets the requirements of the Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards. Before buying any
child restraint system, make sure that it has a
label certifying that it meets Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard 213. The restraint must be
appropriate for your child's height and weight.
Check the label on the child restraint for this
information. See page 1-22.

Larger Children

Injured Person

Children who are too large for child restraint
systems should always occupy the rear seat
and use the available lap/shoulder belts. The
lap portion should be fastened snug on the
hips and as low as possible. Check belt fit
periodically. A child's squirming could put the
belt out of position. Children are afforded the
most safety in the event of an accident when
they are restrained by a proper restraint system in the rear seat. If a larger child (over age
13) must be seated in the front seat, the child
should be securely restrained by the available
lap/shoulder belt and the seat should be placed
in the rearmost position. Children under the
age of 13 should be restrained securely in the
rear seat. NEVER place a child under the age
of 13 in the front seat. NEVER place a rear
facing child seat in the front seat of a vehicle.

A seat belt should be used when an injured
person is being transported. When this is necessary, you should consult a physician for recommendations.

B150D01A-AAT

Pregnant Women
The use of a seat belt is recommended for
pregnant women to lessen the chance of injury
in an accident. When a seat belt is used, the lap
belt portion should be placed as low and snugly
as possible on the hips, not across the abdomen. For specific recommendations, consult a
physician.

B150F01A-AAT

One Person Per Belt
Two people (including children) should never
attempt to use a single seat belt. This could
increase the severity of injuries in case of an
accident.

B150G01A-AAT

Do Not Lie Down
To reduce the chance of injuries in the event
of an accident and to achieve maximum effectiveness of the restraint system, all passengers should be sitting up and the front seats
should be in an upright position when the car
is moving. A seat belt cannot provide proper
protection if the person is lying down in the rear
seat or if the front seat is in a reclined position.

WARNING:

Sitting in a reclined position or lying down
when your vehicle is in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your seat belts
can't do their job when you're reclined. The
shoulder belt can't do its job because it won't
be against your body. Instead, it will be in
front of you. In a crash you could go into it
with great force, receiving serious neck or
other injuries. The lap belt can't do its job
either. In a crash the belt could go up over
your abdomen. The belt forces would be there,
not at your strong pelvic bones. This could
cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is in
motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit
back in the seat and wear your seat belt
properly. See Page 1-19.

CARE OF SEAT BELTS

Keep Belts Clean and Dry

Seat belt systems should never be disassembled or modified. In addition, care should be
taken to assure that seat belts and belt hardware are not damaged by seat hinges, doors or
other abuse.

Seat belts should be kept clean and dry. If belts
become dirty, they can be cleaned by using a
mild soap solution and warm water. Bleach,
dye, strong detergents or abrasives should not
be used because they may damage and weaken
the fabric.

pinched in the rear seat.

B160B01A-AAT

Periodic Inspection
It is recommended that all seat belts be inspected periodically for wear or damage of any
kind. Parts of the system that are damaged
should be replaced as soon as possible.

B160D01A-AAT

When to Replace Seat Belts
Entire in-use seat belt assembly or assemblies
should be replaced if the vehicle has been
involved in an accident. This should be done
even if no damage is visible. Additional questions concerning seat belt operation should be
directed to your Hyundai Dealer.

You can adjust the height of the shoulder belt
anchor to one of the 4 positions for maximum
comfort and safety.
If the height of the adjusting seat belt is too near
your neck, you will not be getting the most
effective protection. The shoulder portion should
be adjusted so that it lies across your chest and
midway over your shoulder nearest the door
and not your neck.
To adjust the height of the seat belt anchor,
lower or raise the height adjuster into an appropriate position. To raise the height adjuster, the

To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the
retractor and insert the metal tab into the
buckle. There will be an audible "click" when
the tab locks into the buckle.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to the
proper length only after the lap belt is adjusted
manually so that it fits snugly around your hips.
If you lean forward in a slow, easy motion, the
belt will extend and let you move around. If
there is a sudden stop or impact, however, the
belt will lock into position. It will also lock if you
try to lean forward too quickly.

Combination retractor type seat belts are installed in the rear seat outboard positions to
help accommodate the installation of child restraint systems. Hyundai strongly recommends
that children always be seated in the rear seat.
NEVER place any infant restraint system in
the front seat of the vehicle.
This type of seat belt combines the features
of both an emergency locking retractor seat
belt and an automatic locking retractor seat
belt. To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the
retractor and insert the metal tab into the
buckle. There will be an audible "click" when
the tab locks into the buckle. When not securing a child restraint, the seat belt operates in
the same way as the driver's seat belt (Emergency Locking Retractor Type). It automati-

1 FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

cally adjusts to the proper length only after the
lap belt portion of the seat belt is adjusted
manually so that it fits snugly around your hips.
When the seat belt is fully extended from the
retractor to allow the installation of a child
restraint system, the seat belt operation
changes to allow the belt to retract, but not to
extend (Automatic Locking Retractor Type).
See page 1-27.

NOTE:
Although the combination retractor provides
the same level of protection for seated passengers in either emergency or automatic
locking modes, it is recommended that seated
passengers use the emergency locking feature for improved convenience. The automatic locking function is intended to facilitate
child restraint installation. To convert from
the automatic locking feature to the emergency locking operation mode, allow the unbuckled seat belt to fully retract.

B200A01A-AAT

Adjusting Your Seat Belt
WARNING:

o For maximum restraint system protection, seat belts must always be used
whenever the car is moving.
o Seat belts are most effective when
seatbacks are in the upright position.
o Children must always be seatbelted in
the rear seats. Never allow children to
ride in the front passenger seat.
o The shoulder belt should be positioned
midway over the shoulder nearest the
door for the most effective protection.
Never wear the seat belt under the arm
nearest the door. Wearing the belt under
the arm nearest the door could cause
serious or fatal injuries in an accident.
o Avoid wearing twisted seat belts. A twisted belt can't do its job as well. In a collision, it could even cut into you. Be sure
the belt webbing is straight and not
twisted.
o Be careful not to damage the belt webbing or hardware. If the belt webbing or
hardware is damaged, replace it.

B200A01L

WARNING:

You should place the lap belt portion as low as
possible and snugly across your hips, not on
your waist. If the lap belt is located too high on
your waist, it may increase the chance of
injury in the event of a collision. Both arms
should not be under or over the belt. Rather,
one should be over and the other under, as
shown in the illustration.
Never wear the seat belt under the arm nearest the door.

maximum protection from the seat belt system and assure proper operation.

Children riding in the car should sit in the rear
seat and must always be properly restrained to
minimize the risk of injury in an accident, sudden stop or sudden maneuver. According to
accident statistics provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
children are safer when properly restrained in
the rear seats than in the front seat. Larger
children not in a child restraint should use one
of the seat belts provided.
All 50 states have child restraint laws. You
should be aware of the specific requirements in
your state. Child and/or infant safety seats must
be properly placed and installed in the rear seat.
You must use a commercially available child
restraint system that meets the requirements of
the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
(FMVSS).
Children could be injured or killed in a crash if
their restraints are not properly secured. For
small children and babies, a child seat or infant
seat must be used. Before buying a particular
child restraint system, make sure it fits your car
seat and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all
the instructions provided by the manufacturer
when installing the child restraint system.

WARNING:

o A child restraint system must be placed
in the rear seat. Never install a child or
infant seat on the front passenger's seat.
Should an accident occur and cause the
passenger side airbag to deploy, it could
severely injure or kill an infant or child
seated in an infant or child seat. Thus,
only use a child restraint in the rear seat
of your vehicle.
o Since a safety belt or child restraint system can become very hot if it is left in a
closed vehicle, be sure to check the seat
cover and buckles before placing a child
there.
o When the child restraint system is not in
use, store it in the trunk or fasten it with
a safety belt so that it will not be thrown
forward in the case of a sudden stop or
an accident.
o Children who are too large to be in a child
restraint should still sit in the rear seat
and be restrained with the available lap/
shoulder belts. Never allow children to
ride in the front passenger seat.

WARNING:

o Always make sure that the shoulder
belt portion of the outboard lap/shoulder belt is positioned midway over the
shoulder, never across the neck or behind the back. Moving the child closer
to the center of the vehicle may help
provide a good shoulder belt fit. The
lap belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt
or the center seat lap belt must always
be positioned as low as possible on the
child's hips and as snug as possible.
o If the seat belt will not properly fit the
child, Hyundai recommends the use of
an approved booster seat in the rear
seat in order to raise the child's seating
height so that the seat belt will properly
fit the child. Before purchasing a
booster seat, make sure that it meets
applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (FMVSS) and that it is satisfactory for use with this vehicle.
o Never allow a child to stand up or kneel
on the seat.
o Never use an infant carrier or child safety
seat that "hooks" over a seatback; it may
not provide adequate security in an accident.

WARNING:

o Never allow a child to be held in a
person's arms while they are in a moving vehicle, as this could result in serious injury to the child in the event of an
accident or a sudden stop. Holding a
child in a moving vehicle does not provide the child with any means of protection during an accident, even if the person holding the child is wearing a seat
belt.

Some child seat manufacturers make safety
seats that are labeled as ISOFIX or ISOFIXcompatible child seats. These seats include two
rigid or webbing mounted attachments that connect to two ISOFIX anchors at specific seating
positions in your vehicle. This type of child seat
eliminates the need to use seat belts to attach
the child seat for forward-facing child seats.
ISOFIX anchors have been provided in your
vehicle. The ISOFIX anchors are located in the
left and right outboard rear seating positions.
Their locations are shown in the illustration.
There is no ISOFIX anchor provided for the
center rear seating position.

1 FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

WARNING:

o Do not install a child restraint seat at
the center of the rear seat using the
vehicle's ISOFIX anchors. The ISOFIX
anchors are only provided for the left
and right outboard rear seating positions. Do not misuse the ISOFIX anchors by attempting to attach a child
restraint seat improperly in the middle
of the reat seat position to the ISOFIX
anchors. In a crash, the child seat ISOFIX
attachments may not be strong enough
to secure the child restraint seat properly in the center of the rear seat and
may break, causing serious injury or
death.
o When using the vehicle’s “ISOFIX” system to install a child restraint system in
the rear seat, all unused vehicle rear
seat belt metal latch plates or tabs must
be latched securely in their seat belt
buckles and the seat belt webbing must
be retracted behind the child restraint
to prevent the child from reaching and
taking hold of unretracted seat belts.
Unlatched metal latch plates or tabs
may allow the child to reach the
unretracted seat belts which may result
in strangulation and a serious injury or
death to the child in the child restraint.

WARNING:

o Do not mount more than one child
restraint to a single tether or to a child
restraint lower anchorage point. The
improper increased load may cause the
anchorage points or tether anchor to
break, causing serious injury or death.
o Attach the ISOFIX or ISOFIX-compatible child seat only to the appropriate
locations shown.
o Always follow the installation and use
instructions provided by the manufacturer of the child restraint.

After installation of the child restraint system,
rock the child seat back and forth, and side to
side to ensure that it is properly secured by the
seat belt.
If the child seat moves, readjust the length of the
seat belt. Then, if equipped, insert the child
restraint tether strap hook into the child restraint
hook holder and tighten to secure the seat.
Always refer to the child restraint system
manufacturer's recommendation before installing the child restraint system in your vehicle.

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

1 FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
28
mode, the belt will be locked. After installation
of the child restraint system, try to move it in
all directions to be sure the child restraint
system is securely installed. If you need to
tighten the belt, pull more webbing toward the
retractor. When you unbuckle the seat belt
and allow it to retract, the retractor will automatically revert back to its normal seated
passenger emergency locking usage condition.

2. Seat belt pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module

WARNING:

o If the retractor is not in the Automatic
Locking mode, the child restraint system
can move when your vehicle turns or
stops abruptly.
o Do not install any child restraint system
in the front passenger seat. Should an
accident occur and cause the passenger
side airbag to deploy, it could severely
injure or kill an infant or child seated in an
infant or child seat. Therefore, only use a
child restraint system in the rear seat of
your vehicle.

Passenger's
airbag

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

o Before installing the child restraint system, read the instructions supplied by the
child restraint system manufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate as described, have the system checked immediately by your authorized Hyundai dealer.

HXG229

When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if the
occupant tries to lean forward too quickly, the
seat belt retractor will lock into position. In
certain frontal collisions, the pre-tensioner will
activate and pull the seat belt into tighter
contact against the occupant's body.

WARNING:

To obtain maximum benefit from a pretensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn correctly.
2. The seat belt must be adjusted to the
correct position.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

1
29

NOTE:
o Both the driver's and front passenger's
pre-tensioner seat belts will be activated
in certain frontal collisions. The pretensioner seat belts can be activated
alone or, where the frontal collision is
severe enough, together with the
airbags.
The pre-tensioners will not be activated if the seat belts are not being
worn at the time of the collision.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts are
activated, a loud noise may be heard and
fine dust, which may appear to be smoke,
may be visible in the passenger compartment. These are normal operating conditions and are not hazardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine dust may
cause skin irritation and should not be
breathed for prolonged periods. Wash
your hands and face thoroughly after an
accident in which the pre-tensioner seat
belts were activated.

CAUTION:

o Because the sensor that activates the
SRS airbag is connected with the pretensioner seat belt, the SRS airbag warning light
on the instrument panel will
blink for approximately 6 seconds after
the ignition key has been turned to the
"ON" position, and then it should turn
off.
o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not
working properly, this warning light
will illuminate even if there is no malfunction of the SRS airbag system.
If the SRS airbag warning light does not
illuminate when the ignition key is turned
to "ON", or if it remains illuminated after
blinking for approximately 6 seconds, or
if it illuminates while the vehicle is being
driven, please have an authorized Hyundai
dealer inspect the pre-tensioner seat
belts and SRS airbag system as soon as
possible.

WARNING:

o Pre-tensioners are designed to operate
only one time. After activation, pretensioner seat belts must be replaced. All
seat belts, of any type, should always be
replaced after they have been worn during a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly
mechanisms become hot during activation. Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies for several minutes after
they have been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or replace the
pre-tensioner seat belts yourself. This
must be done by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
o Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat belt
assemblies.
o Do not attempt to service or repair the
pre-tensioner seat belt system in any
manner.
o Improper handling of the pre-tensioner
seat belt assemblies, and failure to heed
the warnings to not strike, modify, inspect, replace, service or repair the pretensioner seat belt assemblies may lead
to improper operation or inadvertent activation and serious injury.

DUAL-STAGE SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM (SRS)
B240A01A-AAT

Driver's Airbag

B240A03A

Your Hyundai is equipped with a Dual-stage
Supplemental Restraint (Airbag) System. The
indications of the system's presence are the
letters "SRS AIRBAG" embossed on the airbag
pad cover in the steering wheel and the
passenger's side front panel pad above the
glove box.
The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installed
under the pad covers in the center of the steering wheel and the passenger's side front panel
above the glove box. The purpose of the SRS is
to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front
passenger with additional protection than that
offered by the seat-belt system alone, in case of
a frontal impact of sufficient severity.

The dual-stage SRS uses a collection of sensors to gather information about the driver's
and front passenger's seat position, the
driver's and front passenger's seat belt usage
and impact severity.
The driver's and front passenger's seat position sensors determine if the seats are fore or
aft of a reference position. Similarly, the seat
belt usage sensors determine if the driver and
front passenger's seat belts are fastened.
These sensors provide the ability to control
the SRS deployment's pressure based on how
close the driver's seat is to the steering wheel,
how close the passenger's seat is to the
instrument panel and whether or not the seat
belts are fastened.
The dual-stage airbags offer the ability to control
the airbag inflation with two pressure levels. A
lower pressure level is provided for moderateseverity impacts. A higher-pressure level is provided for more severe impacts.

NOTE:
o Be sure to read information about the
SRS on the labels provided on the backside of the sun visor and in the glove box.
o Dual-stage inflating airbags are combined with pre-tensioner seat belts to
help provided enhanced occupant protection in frontal crashes. Front airbags

are not intended to deploy in light
collisions in which protection can be
provided by the pre-tensioner seat belt.
o If you are considering modification of
your vehicle due to a disability, please
contact the Hyundai Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-633-5151.

WARNING:

o As its name implies, the SRS is designed to work with, and be supplemental to, the driver's and the
passenger's three point seat belt systems and is not a substitute for them.
Therefore, your seat belts must be worn
at all times while the vehicle is in motion. The airbags deploy only in certain
frontal impact conditions severe
enough to cause significant injury to
the vehicle occupants.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the
airbags only when an impact is sufficiently severe and when the impact
angle is less than 30° from the forward
longitudinal axis of the vehicle and will
not deploy in side, rear or rollover impacts. Additionally, the airbags will only
deploy once. Thus, seat belts must be
worn at all times.

WARNING:

Rear impact
Rollover

Side Impact
B240A04A

o Front airbags are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rear-impact or
rollover crashes. In addition, airbags
will not deploy in frontal crashes below
the deployment threshold speed.
o The driver should sit back as far as
possible while still maintaining control
of the vehicle. If you are sitting too
close to the airbag, it can cause death
or serious injury when it inflates.

WARNING:

o No objects should be placed over or
near the airbag modules on the steering wheel, instrument panel, and the
front passenger's panel above the glove
box, because any such object could
cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash
severe enough to cause the airbags to
deploy.
o If the airbags deploy, they must be
replaced by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS
wiring, or other components of the SRS
system. Doing so could result in injury,
due to accidental firing of the airbags
or by rendering the SRS inoperative.
o Do not install a child restraint system in
the front passenger seat position. A
child restraint system must never be
placed in the front seat. The infant or
child could be severely injured or killed
by an airbag deployment in case of an
accident.
o Do not allow children to ride in the front
passenger seat. If older children (teenagers and older) must ride in the front
seat, make sure they are always properly belted and that the seat is moved
back as far as possible.

WARNING:

o For maximum safety protection in all
types of crashes, all occupants including the driver should always wear their
seat belts whether or not an airbag is
also provided at their seating position
to minimize the risk of severe injury or
death in the event of a crash. Do not sit
or lean unnecessarily close to the airbag
while the vehicle is in motion.
o Sitting improperly or out of position
can result in serious or fatal injury in a
crash. All occupants should sit upright
in their seats with their feet on the floor
until the vehicle is parked and the ignition key is removed.
o The SRS airbag system must deploy
very rapidly to provide protection in a
crash. If an occupant is out of position
because of not wearing a seat belt, the
airbag may forcefully contact the occupant causing serious or fatal injuries.

SRS Components and Functions

B240B01L

The SRSCM continually monitors all elements
while the ignition is "ON" to determine if a frontal
or near-frontal impact is severe enough to require airbag deployment.

Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly
into the pad covers will separate under pressure from the expansion of the airbags. Further opening of the covers then allows full
inflation of the airbags.

The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on
the instrument panel will blink for about 6
seconds after the ignition key is turned to the
"ON" position or after the engine is started,
after which the SRI should go out.
The airbag modules are located both in the
center of the steering wheel and in the front
passenger's panel above the glove box. When
the SRSCM detects a considerable impact to
the front of the vehicle, it will automatically
deploy the airbags.

The SRS consists of the following components:
Driver's Airbag Module
Passenger's Airbag Module
Knee Bolster
Pre-tensioner seat belt
Front impact sensors
Driver's and front passenger's seat belt usage
sensors
- Driver's and front passenger's seat position
sensors
- SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM)

B240B03L

A fully inflated airbag in combination with a
properly worn seat belt slows the driver's or
the passenger's forward motion, thus reducing the risk of head and chest injury.
After complete inflation, the airbag immediately
starts deflating, enabling the driver to maintain
forward visibility.

CAUTION:

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

B240B05L

WARNING:

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

WARNING:

o The SRS can function only when the
ignition key is in the "ON" position. If
the SRS SRI does not illuminate, or
continuously remains on, after flashing
for about 6 seconds when the ignition
key is turned to the "ON" position, or
after the engine is started, comes on
while driving, the SRS is not working
properly. If this occurs, have your vehicle immediately inspected by your
Hyundai dealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or disconnect
a battery terminal, turn the ignition key
to the "LOCK" position or remove the
ignition key. Never remove or replace
the air bag related fuse(s) when the
ignition key is in the "ON" position.
Failure to heed this warning will cause
the SRS SRI to illuminate.

Side Impact Airbag (If Installed)

Side airbag
sensor
B990B01A-1

B990B02Y

Your Hyundai is equipped with a side impact
airbag in each front seat. The purpose of the
airbag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or
the front passenger with additional protection
than that offered by the seat belt alone. The side
impact airbags are designed to deploy only
during certain side impact collisions, depending
on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of
impact. The side impact airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations.

WARNING:

o The side impact airbag is supplemental to
the driver's and the passenger's three
point seat belt systems and is not a substitute for them. Therefore your seat belts
must be worn at all times while the vehicle is in motion. The airbags deploy
only in certain side impact conditions
severe enough to cause significant injury
to the vehicle occupants.

WARNING:

o For best protection from the side impact airbag system and to avoid being
injured by the deploying side impact
airbag, both front seat occupants
should sit in an upright position with
the seat belt properly fastened. The
driver's hands should be placed on the
steering wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00
o'clock positions.
The passenger's arms and hands should
be placed on their laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat covers.
o Use of seat covers could reduce or prevent the effectiveness of the system.
o Do not install any accessories on the side
or near the side impact airbag.
o Do not use excessive force on the side of
the seat.
o Do not place any objects over the airbag
or between the airbag and yourself.
o Do not place any objects (an umbrella,
bag, etc.) between the front door and the
front seat. Such objects may become dangerous projectiles and cause injury if the
supplemental side impact airbag inflates.

WARNING:

o To prevent unexpected deployment of
the side impact air bag that may result
in personal injury, avoid impact to the
side impact airbag sensor when the
ignition key is on.

B240C03A-AAT

SRS Care
o The SRS is virtually maintenance free and there
are no parts you can safely service by yourself.
The entire SRS system must be inspected by
an authorized Hyundai dealer in 10 years after
the date that the vehicle was manufactured.
o Any work on the SRS system, such as removing, installing, repairing, or any work on the
steering wheel must be performed by a qualified
Hyundai technician. Improper handling of the
airbag system may result in serious personal
injury.

B240C01HP

WARNING:

o Do not install a child restraint system in
the front passenger seat position.
A child restraint system must never be
placed in the front seat. The infant or
baby could be severely injured by an
airbag deployment in case of an accident.
o Modification to SRS components or
wir-ing, including the addition of any
kind of badges to the pad covers or
modifications to the body structure,
can adversely affect SRS performance
and lead to possible injury.

o For cleaning the airbag pad covers, use
only a soft, dry cloth or one which has
been moistened with plain water. Solvents or cleaners could adversely affect
the airbag covers and proper deployment
of the system.
o No objects should be placed over or
near the airbag modules on the steering wheel, instrument panel, and the
front passenger's panel above the glove
box, because any such object could
cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash
severe enough to cause the airbags to
inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be
replaced by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS
wiring, or other components of the SRS
system. Doing so could result in injury,
due to accidental inflation of the airbags
or by rendering the SRS inoperative.
o If components of the airbag system
must be discarded, or if the vehicle
must be scrapped, certain safety precautions must be observed. Your
Hyundai dealer knows these precautions and can give you the necessary
information. Failure to follow these
precautions and procedures could increase the risk of personal injury.

WARNING:

o If you sell your vehicle, be sure to
inform the new owner of these important points and make certain that this
manual is transferred to the new owner.
o If your car was flooded and has soaked
carpeting or water on the floor, you
shouldn't try to start the engine; have
the car towed to an authorized Hyundai
dealer.

B240D01JM-AAT

Additional Safety Precautions
o Never let passengers ride in the cargo
area (trunk) or on top of a folded-down
back seat. All occupants should sit upright,
fully back in their seats with their seat belts
on and their feet on the floor.
o Passengers should not move out of or
change seats while the vehicle is moving. A passenger who is not wearing a seat
belt during a crash or emergency stop can
be thrown against the inside of the vehicle,
against other occupants, or out of the
vehicle.

o Each seat belt is designed to restrain
one occupant. If more than one person
uses the same seat belt, they could be
seriously injured or killed in a collision.
o Do not use any accessories on seat
belts. Devices claiming to improve occupant comfort or reposition the seat belt can
reduce the protection provided by the seat
belt and increase the chance of serious
injury in a crash.
o Passengers should not place hard or
sharp objects between themselves and
the airbags. Carrying hard or sharp objects on your lap or in your mouth can result
in injuries if an airbag inflates.
o Keep occupants away from the airbag
covers. All occupants should sit upright,
fully back in their seats with their seat belts
on and their feet on the floor. If occupants
are too close to the airbag covers, they
could be injured if the airbags inflate.
o Do not attach or place objects on or
near the airbag covers. Any object attached to or placed on the front or side
impact airbag covers could interfere with
the proper operation of the airbags.
o Do not modify the front seats. Modification of the front seats could interfere with
the operation of the supplemental restraint
system sensing components or side impact airbags.

o Do not place items under the front
seats. Placing items under the front seats
could interfere with the operation of the
supplemental restraint system sensing
components and wiring harnesses.
o Never hold an infant or child on your
lap. The infant or child could be seriously
injured or killed in the event of a crash. All
infants and children should be properly
restrained in appropriate child safety seats
or seat belts in the rear seat.

WARNING:

o Sitting improperly or out of position
can result in serious injury or death in
a crash.
o Always sit upright, fully back in the
seat, with your seat belt on, and your
feet on the floor.

Adding Equipment to or Modifying Your
Airbag-Equipped Vehicle.
If you modify your vehicle by changing your
vehicle's frame, bumper system, front end or
side sheet metal or ride height, this may affect
the operation of your vehicle's airbag system.

PARKING BRAKE/
LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
WARNING LIGHT

CAUTION:

If you suspect brake trouble, have your brakes
checked by a Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. Driving your car with a problem in either
the brake electrical system or brake hydraulic
system is dangerous, and could result in serious injury or death.

Warning Light Operation
The parking brake/brake fluid level warning light
should come on when the parking brake is
applied and the ignition switch is turned to "ON"
or "START". After the engine is started, the light
should go out when the parking brake is released.
If the parking brake is not applied, the warning
light should come on when the ignition switch is
turned to "ON" or "START", then go out when
the engine starts. If the light comes on at any
other time, you should slow the vehicle and
bring it to a complete stop in a safe location off
the roadway.

The brake fluid level warning light indicates
that the brake fluid level in the brake master
cylinder is low and brake fluid conforming to
DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications should be
added. After adding fluid, if no other trouble is
found, the car should be immediately and
carefully driven to a Hyundai dealer for
inspection. If further trouble is experienced,
the vehicle should not be driven at all but taken
to a dealer by a professional towing service.
Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-diagonal
braking systems. This means you still have
braking on two wheels even if one of the dual
systems should fail. With only one of the dual
systems working, more than normal pedal travel
and greater pedal pressure are required to stop
the car. Also, the car will not stop in as short a
distance with only a portion of the brake system
working. If the brakes fail while you are driving,
shift to a lower gear for additional engine braking
and stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so.

Operation Tips
o If the interior of the car is hot when you first
get in, open the windows for a few minutes to
expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air conditioning
system, keep all windows closed to keep hot
air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy traffic, shift
to a lower gear. This increases engine speed,
which in turn increases the speed of the air
conditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air conditioner off
to avoid the possibility of the engine overheating.
o During winter months or in periods when the
air conditioner is not used regularly, run the
air conditioner once every month for a few
minutes. This will help circulate the lubricants and keep your system in peak operating condition.

B750A02L

B750A01L

AM and FM radio signals are broadcast from
transmitter towers located around your city.
They are intercepted by the radio antenna on
your car. This signal is then received by the
radio and sent to your car speakers.
When a strong radio signal has reached your
vehicle, the precise engineering of your audio
system ensures the best possible quality reproduction. However, in some cases the signal coming to your vehicle may not be strong
and clear. This can be due to factors such as
the distance from the radio station, closeness
of other strong radio stations or the presence
of buildings, bridges or other large obstructions in the area.

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

Obstructed area

B750A03L

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

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

B750A04L

o Fading - As your car moves away from the
radio station, the signal will weaken and
sound will begin to fade. When this occurs,
we suggest that you select another stronger
station.
o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large
obstructions between the transmitter and your
radio can disturb the signal causing static or
fluttering noises to occur. Reducing the treble level may lessen this effect until the
disturbance clears.

B750A05L

o Station Swapping - As an FM signal weakens, another more powerful signal near the
same frequency may begin to play. This is
because your radio is designed to lock onto
the clearest signal. If this occurs, select
another station with a stronger signal.
o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals being received from several directions can
cause distortion or fluttering. This can be
caused by a direct and reflected signal
from the same station, or by signals from
two stations with close frequencies. If this
occurs, select another station until the condition has passed.

WARNING:

Don't use a cellular phone when you are
driving. Stop at a safe place to use a cellular
phone.

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 change
in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the car, have the exhaust system checked
as soon as possible by your Hyundai dealer.

o Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.
Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the engine in your garage any
longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out.

o Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car.
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an open area with the air intake
set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior.
If you must drive with the trunk lid/ tail gate 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 clear
of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.

PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:

Engine exhaust and a wide variety of automobile components and parts, including components found in the interior furnishings
in a vehicle, contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects and reproductive harm.
In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

the starter from overheating.

C070A02A-AAT

C070A01A

WARNING:

Be sure that the clutch is fully depressed
when starting a manual transaxle vehicle.
Your manual transaxle equipped vehicle will
not start unless the clutch pedal is fully
depressed. On a manual transaxle equipped
vehicle that can be started without depressing the clutch, there is the potential to cause
damage to the vehicle or injury to someone
inside or outside the vehicle as a result of
the forward or backward movement of the
vehicle that will occur if the clutch is not
depressed when the vehicle is started.

Your Hyundai's manual transaxle has a conventional shift pattern. This shift pattern is also
imprinted on the shift knob. The transaxle is
fully synchronized in all forward gears so
shifting to either a higher or a lower gear is
easily accomplished.

NOTE:
o To shift into reverse, rest the lever in
neutral for at least 3 seconds after your
car is completely stopped. Then move
the lever into the reverse position.
o During cold weather, shifting may be
difficult until the transaxle lubricant
has warmed up. This is normal and not
harmful to the transaxle.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

o If you've come to a complete stop and
it's hard to shift into 1st or R(Reverse),
put the shift lever in N(Neutral) position
and release the clutch. Press the clutch
pedal back down, and then shift into 1st
or R(Reverse) gear position.
o Do not use the shift lever as a handrest
during driving, as this can result in premature wear of the transaxle shift forks.

C070B01A-AAT

C070D02O-AAT

Using the Clutch

Good Driving Practices

The clutch should be pressed all the way to the
floor before shifting, then released slowly. Do
not rest your foot on the clutch pedal while
driving. This can cause unnecessary wear.
Do not partially engage the clutch to hold the car
on an incline. This causes unnecessary wear.
Use the parking brake to hold the car on an
incline. Do not operate the clutch pedal rapidly
and repeatedly.

o Never take the car out of gear and coast
down a hill. This is extremely hazardous.
Always leave the car in gear.
o Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause them
to overheat and malfunction. Instead, when
you are driving down a long hill, slow down
and shift to a lower gear. When you do this,
engine braking will help slow the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear.
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 your
car.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped before
you attempt to shift into reverse. The transaxle
can be damaged if you do not. To shift into
reverse, depress the clutch, move the shift
lever to neutral, wait three seconds, then
shift to the reverse position.
o Exercise extreme caution when driving on a
slippery surface. Be especially careful when
braking, accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change in vehicle
speed can cause the drive wheels to lose
traction and the vehicle to go out of control.

CAUTION:

When downshifting from fifth gear to
fourth gear, caution should be taken not
to inadvertently press the gear shift lever
sideways in such a manner that second
gear is engaged. Such a drastic downshift
may cause the engine speed to increase to
the point that the tachometer will enter the
red zone. Such over revving of the engine
may possibly cause engine damage.

WARNING:

o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lane changes or
fast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts.
In a collision crash, un unbelted person
is significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seatbelt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly increased
if you lose control of your vehicle at
highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or
more wheels drop off the roadway and
the driver oversteers to reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the
roadway, do not steer sharply. Instead,
slow down before pulling back into the
travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed limits.

Push the button when shifting
The selector lever can be shifted freely.
For optimum fuel economy, accelerate gradually. The transaxle will automatically shift to the
second, third and overdrive gears.

C090B02A-AAT
C090A01A

The highly efficient Hyundai automatic
transaxle has four forward speeds and one
reverse speed. It has a conventional shift
pattern as shown in the illustration. At night,
with the multi-function switch turned on to the
parking light or head light position the appropriate symbol on the shift pattern indicator will
be illuminated according to the range selected.

CAUTION:

Never shift into "R" or "P" position while
the car is moving.

The function of each position is as follows:
o P (Park):
Use to hold the vehicle in place when parking or
while starting the engine. Whenever parking
the car, apply the parking brake and shift the
selector lever to the "P" (Park) position.

CAUTION:

Never place the selector lever in the "P"

o R(Reverse):

o 2 (Second gear):

NOTE:

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

Use for driving on a slippery road, hill climbing
or engine braking downhill. "2" automatically
shifts between first and second gears.
This means that no shift-up to 3rd gear is performed. However, the shift-up to third gear is
done when the car speed exceeds a certain
value to prevent the engine from over-revving.
Manually move the selector to "D" returning to
normal driving condition.

C090D02A-AAT

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

C090E01A-AAT

o D (Drive):
Use for normal driving. The transaxle will automatically shift through a four-gear sequence.
Never downshift manually to "2" position or "L"
position when vehicle speed is more than 60
mph (96 km/h).

C090G01A-AAT

o L (Low gear):
Use for driving up a very steep grade or for
engine braking when descending steep hills.
When downshifting to "L", the transaxle will
temporarily remain in second gear until the vehicle has slowed enough for low gear to engage.
Do not exceed 31 mph (50 km/h) in low gear.

o For smooth and safe operation, depress the brake pedal when shifting
from "Neutral" position or "Park" position to a forward or reverse gear.
o The ignition key must be in the "ON"
position and the brake pedal fully depressed in order to move the shift lever
from the "P" (Park) position to any of the
other positions.

C090N03A-AAT

Good Driving Practices
o Never move the gear selector lever from "P"
or "N" to any other position with the accelerator pedal depressed.
o Never move the gear selector lever into "P"
when the vehicle is in motion.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped before
you attempt to shift into "R".
o Never take the car out of gear and coast
down a hill. This may be extremely hazardous. Always leave the car in gear when
moving.
o Do not "ride" the brakes. This can cause
them to overheat and malfunction. Instead,
when you are driving down a long hill, slow
down and shift to a lower gear. When you do
this, engine braking will help slow the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear.
Otherwise, the lower gear may not be engaged.
o Always use the parking brake. Do not depend on placing the transaxle in "P" to keep
the car from moving.
o Exercise extreme caution when driving on a
slippery surface. Be especially careful when
braking, accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change in vehicle
speed can cause the drive wheels to lose
traction and the vehicle to go out of control.

o Turn the overdrive switch on for good fuel
economy and smooth driving. If engine braking is needed in the "D" range or if repeated
upshifting and downshifting between the 3rd
and 4th gear is needed when climbing a
gentle slope, it is recommended that the
overdrive switch be turned off. Turn the overdrive switch back on immediately afterward.

C130A01A-AAT

WARNING:

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

WARNING:

o After being parked, check to be sure the
parking brake is not engaged and that the
parking brake indicator light is out before
driving away.
o Driving through water may get the brakes
wet. They can also get wet when the car is
washed. Wet brakes can be dangerous! Your
car will not stop as quickly if the brakes are
wet. Wet brakes may cause the car to pull to
one side. To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
lightly until the braking action returns to normal, taking care to keep the car under control at all times. If the braking action does not
return to normal, stop as soon as it is safe to
do so and call your Hyundai dealer for assistance.
o Don't coast down hills with the car out of
gear. This is extremely hazardous. Keep
the car in gear at all times, use the brakes
to slow down, then shift to a lower gear so

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM

that engine braking will help you maintain a
safe speed.
Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Resting your
foot on the brake pedal while driving can be
dangerous because it can result in the brakes
overheating and losing their effectiveness. It
also increases the wear of the brake components.
If a tire goes flat while you are driving, apply
the brakes gently and keep the car pointed
straight ahead while you slow down. When
you are moving slowly enough for it to be
safe to do so, pull off the road and stop in a
safe place.
If your car is equipped with an automatic
transaxle, don't let your car creep forward.
To avoid creeping forward, keep your foot
firmly on the brake pedal when the car is
stopped.
Use caution when parking on a hill. Engage
the parking brake and place the gear selector lever in "P" (automatic transaxle) or in
first or reverse gear (manual transaxle). If
your car is facing downhill, turn the front
wheels into the curb to help keep the car
from rolling. If your car is facing uphill, turn
the front wheels away from the curb to help
keep the car from rolling. If there is no curb
or if it is required by other conditions to keep
the car from rolling, block the wheels.

o Under some conditions your parking brake
can freeze in the engaged position. This is
most likely to happen when there is an
accumulation of snow or ice around or near
the rear brakes or if the brakes are wet. If
there is a risk that the parking brake may
freeze, apply it only temporarily while you
put the gear selector lever in "P" (automatic) or in first or reverse gear (manual
transaxle) and block the rear wheels so the
car cannot roll. Then release the parking
brake.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with
the accelerator pedal. This can cause the
transaxle to overheat. Always use the brake
pedal or parking brake.

C120A03A-AAT

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

NOTE:
A click sound may be heard in the engine
compartment when the vehicle begins to
move after the engine is started. These
conditions are normal and indicate that
the anti-lock brake system (Electronic Stability Control) is functioning properly.
During ABS operation, a slight pulsation
may be felt in the brake pedal when the
brakes are applied. Also, a noise may be
heard in the engine compartment while
braking. These conditions are normal and
indicate that the anti-lock brake system is
functioning properly.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
DRIVING FOR ECONOMY

C140A01A-AAT

WARNING:

ABS will not prevent accidents due to
improper or dangerous driving maneuvers. Even though vehicle control is improved during emergency braking, always
maintain a safe distance between you and
objects ahead. Vehicle speeds should always be reduced during extreme road
conditions.
The braking distance for cars equipped
with an anti-lock braking system may be
longer than for those without it in the
following road conditions.
During these conditions the veicle should
be driven at reduced speeds.
o Rough, gravel or snow-covered roads.
o With tire chains installed.
o On roads where the road surface is
pitted or has different surface height.
These roads should be driven at reduced
speeds. The safety features of an ABS
equipped vehicle should not be tested by
high speed driving or cornering. This could
endanger the safety of yourself or others.

You can save fuel and get more miles from
your car if you follow these suggestions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate
rate. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts or fullthrottle shifts and maintain a steady cruising
speed. Don't race between stoplights. Try to
adjust your speed to that of the other traffic
so you don't have to change speeds unnecessarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible. Always maintain a safe distance from
other vehicles so you can avoid unnecessary braking. This also reduces brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you
drive, the more fuel your car uses. Driving at
a moderate speed, especially on the highway, is one of the most effective ways to
reduce fuel consumption.
o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. This
can increase fuel consumption and also increase wear on these components. In addition, driving with your foot resting on the
brake pedal may cause the brakes to overheat, which reduces their effectiveness and
may lead to more serious consequences.
o Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated to
the recommended pressure. Incorrect inflation, either too much or too little, results in
unnecessary tire wear. Check the tire pressures at least once a month.

o Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper alignment can result from
hitting curbs or driving too fast over irregular surfaces. Poor alignment causes faster
tire wear and may also result in other
problems as well as greater fuel consumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For better
fuel economy and reduced maintenance
costs, maintain your car in accordance with
the maintenance schedule in Section 5. If
you drive your car in severe conditions, more
frequent maintenance is required (see Section 5 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum service,
your Hyundai should be kept clean and free
of corrosive materials. It is especially important that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed to
accumulate on the underside of the car. This
extra weight can result in increased fuel
consumption and also contribute to corrosion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary weight
in your car. Weight reduces fuel economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than necessary. If you are waiting (and not in traffic),
turn off your engine and restart only when
you're ready to go.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

SMOOTH CORNERING
o Remember, your Hyundai does not require
extended warm-up. As soon as the engine
is running smoothly, you can drive away. In
very cold weather, however, give your engine a slightly longer warm-up period.
o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging is driving too slowly in too high a gear
resulting in the engine bucking. If this happens, shift to a lower gear. Over-revving is
racing the engine beyond its safe limit. This
can be avoided by shifting at the recommended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air
conditioning system is operated by engine
power so your fuel economy is reduced
when you use it.

WINTER DRIVING

C150A01A-AAT

C160A01A-AAT

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

The more severe weather conditions of winter
result in greater wear and other problems. To
minimize the problems of winter driving, you
should follow these suggestions:
C160B01A-AAT

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

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

Use High Quality Ethylene Glycol
Coolant

Change to "Winter Weight" Oil if
Necessary

To Keep Locks from Freezing

Your Hyundai is delivered with high quality ethylene glycol coolant in the cooling system. It is
the only type of coolant that should be used
because it helps prevent corrosion in the cooling
system, lubricates the water pump and prevents
freezing. Be sure to replace or replenish your
coolant in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in Section 5. Before winter, have your
coolant tested to assure that its freezing point is
sufficient for the temperatures anticipated during the winter.

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

C160D01A-AAT

Check Battery and Cables
Winter puts additional burdens on the battery
system. Visually inspect the battery and cables
as described in Section 6. The level of charge in
your battery can be checked by your Hyundai
dealer or a service station.

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

C160F01A-AAT

Check Spark Plugs and Ignition
System
Inspect your spark plugs as described in Section 6 and replace them if necessary. Also
check all ignition wiring and components to be
sure they are not cracked, worn or damaged in
any way.

C160H01A-AAT

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

of snow or ice around or near the rear brakes or
if the brakes are wet. If you think the parking
brake may freeze, apply it only temporarily while
you put the gear selector lever in "P" (automatic)
or in first or reverse gear (manual transaxle) and
block the rear wheels so the car cannot roll.
Then release the parking brake.

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

1. Tires:
Adjust the tire inflation pressures for highway
driving. Low tire inflation pressures will result in
overheating and possible failure of the tires.
Avoid using worn or damaged tires which may
result in reduced traction or tire failure.

C160J01A-AAT

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

NOTE:
Never exceed the maximum tire inflation pressure shown on the tires.
2. Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil:
High speed travel consumes more fuel than
urban motoring. Do not forget to check both
engine coolant and engine oil.
3. Drive belt:
A loose or damaged drive belt may result in
overheating of the engine.

Your Hyundai should not be used to tow a
trailer. It is designed to be compact and light
for good fuel economy, and is not designed as
a trailer-towing vehicle. Damages or malfunctions caused by towing may not be covered by
the limited warranties applying to your Hyundai.
Damages or malfunctions that result from towing a trailer for commercial purposes are specifically not covered by Hyundai limited warranties.

I030A01LC-2

The tire label located on the driver's

gives the original tire size, cold tire
pressures recommended for your vehicle, the number of people that can be
in your vehicle and vehicle capacity
weight.

Vehicle capacity weight:
880 lbs (400 kg)
Vehicle capacity weight is the maximum combined weight of occupants
and cargo. If your vehicle is equipped
with a trailer, the combined weight
includes the tongue load.
Seating capacity:
Total: 5 persons
(Front seat: 2 persons,
Rear seat: 3 persons)
Seating capacity is the maximum number of occupants including a driver,
your vehicle may carry.
However the seating capacity may be
reduced based upon the weight of all
of the occupants, and the weight of the
cargo being carried or towed. Do not
overload the vehicle as there is a limit
to the total weight, or load limit including occupants and cargo, the vehicle
can carry.

Towing capacity:
Towing capacity is the maximum trailer
weight including its cargo weight, your
vehicle can tow. See the section
"Trailer or Vehicle Towing" for specifications about the trailer weight.
Cargo capacity:
The cargo capacity of your vehicle will
increase or decrease depending on the
weight and the number of occupants
and the tongue load, if your vehicle is
equipped with a trailer.
Steps for Determining Correct Load
Limit
(1)Locate the statement "The combined weight of occupants and cargo
should never exceed XXX pounds''
on your vehicle's placard.
(2)Determine the combined weight of
the driver and passengers that will
be riding in your vehicle.

(3)Subtract the combined weight of the
driver and passengers from XXX
kilograms or XXX pounds.
(4)The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage
load capacity. For example, if the
"XXX" amount equals 1400 lbs, and
there will be five 150 lb. passengers
in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400-750 (5 x 150) =
650 lbs.)
(5)Determine the combined weight of
luggage and cargo being loaded on
the vehicle. That weight may not
safely exceed the available cargo
and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.
(6)If your vehicle will be towing a trailer,
load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this
manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.

Refer to your vehicle’s tire and loading
information label for specific information about your vehicle’s capacity
weight and seating positions. The combined weight of the driver, passengers
and cargo should never exceed your
vehicle’s capacity weight.

The label shows the maximum allowable weight of the fully loaded vehicle.
This is called the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR includes the weight of the vehicle, all
occupants, fuel and cargo.
This label also tells you the maximum
weights that can be supported by the
front and rear axles, called Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR). To find out the
actual loads on your front and rear
axles, you need to go to a weigh
station and weigh your vehicle. Your
dealer can help you with this. Be sure
to spread out your load equally on both
sides of the centerline.

C190G03JM-AAT

Compliance Label

C190G01JM

The compliance label is located on the
driver's side of the center piller outer
panel.

WARNING:
o Never exceed the GVWR for your
vehicle, the GAWR for either the
front or rear axle and vehicle capacity weight. Exceeding these
ratings can cause an accident or
vehicle damage. You can calculate the weight of your load by
weighing the items (or people)
before putting them in the vehicle. Be careful not to overload
your vehicle.
o Do not load your vehicle any
heavier than the GVWR, either the
maximum front or rear GAWR and
vehicle capacity weight. If you
do, parts, including tires on your
vehicle can break, and it can
change the way your vehicle
handles and braking ability. This
could cause you to lose control
and crash. Also, overloading can
shorten the life of your vehicle.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
20

WARNING:
o Overloading your vehicle can
cause heat buildup in your
vehicle's tires and possible tire
failure that could lead to a crash.
o Overloading your vehicle can
cause increased stopping distances that could lead to a crash.
o A crash resulting from poor handling vehicle damage, tire failure,
or increased
stopping distances could result in serious
injury or death.

The label will help you decide how
much cargo and installed equipment
your vehicle can carry.
If you carry items inside your vehicle
– like suitcases, tools, packages, or
anything else – they more as fast as
the vehicle goes. If you have to stop or
turn quickly, or if there is a crash, the
items will keep going and can cause
an injury if they strikes the driver or a
passenger.

WARNING:
Items you carry inside your vehicle
can strike and injure people in a
sudden stop or turn, or in a crash.
o Put things in the cargo area of
your vehicle. Try to spread the
weight evenly.
o Never stack items, like suitcases,
inside the vehicle above the tops
of the seats.
o Do not leave an unsecured child
restraint in your vehicle.
o When you carry something inside the vehicle, secure it.
o Do not drive with a seat folded
down unless necessary.

Booster
battery

HLC4001

WARNING:

The gas produced by the battery during the
jump-start operation is highly explosive. If
these instructions are not followed exactly,
serious personal injury and damage to the
vehicle may occur! If you are not sure how to
follow this procedure, seek qualified assistance. Automobile batteries contain sulfuric
acid. This is poisonous and highly corrosive.
When jump starting, wear protective glasses
and be careful not to get acid on yourself,
your clothing or on the car.

o If you should accidentally get acid on your
skin or in your eyes, immediately remove
any contaminated clothing and flush the area
with clear water for at least 15 minutes. Then
promptly obtain medical attention. If you must
be transported to an emergency facility, continue to apply water to the affected area with
a sponge or cloth.
o The gas produced by the battery during the
jump-start operation is highly explosive. Do
not smoke or allow a spark or open flame in
the vicinity.
o The battery being used to provide the jump
start must be 12-volt. If you cannot determine that it is a 12-volt battery, do not attempt to 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 another
vehicle, be sure the two vehicles are not
touching.
2. Turn off all unnecessary lights and accessories in both vehicles.
3. Attach the clamps of the jumper cable in the
exact location shown on the previous page.
First, attach one clamp of the jumper cable to
the positive (+) post or cable of the discharged battery. Then attach the other end
of the same cable to the positive (+) post or
cable of the booster battery. Next, using the
other cable, attach one clamp to the negative (-) post or cable of the booster battery.

3 WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS

4
Then attach the other end of that cable to a
solid metal part of the engine away from the
battery. Do not connect the cable to any
moving part.
4. Start the engine in the car with the booster
battery and let it run for a few minutes. This
will help to assure that the booster battery is
fully charged. During the jumping operation,
run the engine in this vehicle at about 2000
rpm.
5. Start the engine in the car with the discharged battery using the normal starting
procedure. After the engine starts, leave the
jumper cables connected and let the engine
run at fast idle or about 2000 rpm for several
minutes.
6. Carefully remove the jumper cables in the
reverse order of attachment.
If you do not know why your battery became
discharged (because the lights were left on,
etc.), have the charging system checked by
your Hyundai dealer.

D030A02A-AAT

If your temperature gauge indicates overheating, you experience a loss of power, or hear loud
pinging or knocking, the engine is probably too
hot. If this happens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P" (automatic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set
the parking brake. If the air conditioner is on,
turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the car or
steam is coming out from the hood, stop the
engine. Do not open the hood until the coolant has stopped running or the steaming has
stopped. If there is no visible loss of coolant
and no steam, leave the engine running and
check to be sure the engine cooling fan is
operating. If the fan is not running, turn the
engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is
missing. If it is not missing, check to see that
it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be
satisfactory, check for coolant leaking from
the radiator, hoses or under the car. (If the air
conditioner had been in use, it is normal for
cold water to be draining from it when you
stop).

WARNING:

While the engine is running, keep hands,
long hair and clothing away from moving
parts such as the fan and drive belts to
prevent injury.
5. If the water pump drive belt is broken or
coolant is leaking out, stop the engine immediately and call the nearest Hyundai dealer for assistance.

WARNING:

Do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. This may allow coolant to be
blown out of the opening and cause serious
burns.
6. If you cannot find the cause of the overheating, wait until the engine temperature has
returned to normal. Then, if coolant has been
lost, carefully add water to the reservoir
(Page 6-7) to bring the fluid level in the
reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheating. If overheating happens again, call a Hyundai dealer for assistance.

SPARE TIRE

D040A01A-AAT

CAUTION:

Serious loss of coolant indicates there is a
leak in the cooling system and this should
be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundai
dealer.

The following instructions for the temporary spare tire should be observed:
1. Check inflation pressure as soon
as is practical after installing the
spare tire, and adjust to the specified pressure. The tire pressure
should be periodically checked and
maintained at the specified pressure while the tire is stored.

For emergency towing when no commercial tow
vehicle is available, attach a tow cable, chain or
strap to one of the towing hooks under the front/
rear of your car. Do not attempt to tow your
vehicle in this manner on any unpaved surface.
This may result in serious damage to your car.
Nor should it be attempted if the wheels, drive
train, axles, steering or brakes are damaged.
Before towing, be sure the transaxle is in neutral
and the key in "ACC" (with the engine off) or in
the "ON" position (with the engine running). A
driver must be in the towed car to steer it and
operate the brakes.

CAUTION:

If the car is being towed with all four wheels
on the ground, it can be towed only from the
front. Be sure that the transaxle is in neutral.
Do not tow at speeds greater than 30 mph
(50 km/h) and for more than 15 miles (25 km).
Be sure the steering is unlocked by placing
the key in the "ACC" position. A driver must
be in the towed vehicle to operate the steering and brakes.

If you lose your keys, many Hyundai dealers
can make you a new key if you have your key
number.
If you lock the keys inside your car and you
cannot obtain a new key, many Hyundai dealers
can use special tools to open the door for you.

CORROSION PROTECTION
E010A01A-AAT

Protecting Your Hyundai from Corrosion
By using the most advanced design and construction practices to combat corrosion, Hyundai
produces cars of the highest quality. However,
this is only part of the job. To achieve the long
term corrosion resistance your Hyundai can
deliver, the owner's cooperation and assistance
is also required.

E010B01A-AAT

Common Causes of Corrosion
The most common causes of corrosion on your
car are:
o Road salt, dirt and moisture that is allowed to
accumulate underneath the car.
o Removal of paint or protective coatings by
stones, gravel, abrasion or minor scrapes
and dents which leave unprotected metal
exposed to corrosion.

TO HELP PREVENT CORROSION
E010C01A-AAT

High-Corrosion Areas
If you live in an area where your car is regularly
exposed to corrosive materials, corrosion protection is particularly important. Some of the
common causes of accelerated corrosion are
road salts, dust control chemicals, ocean air
and industrial pollution.
E010D01A-AAT

Moisture Breeds Corrosion
Moisture creates the conditions in which corrosion is most likely to occur. For example, corrosion is accelerated by high humidity, particularly
when temperatures are just above freezing. In
such conditions, the corrosive material is kept in
contact with the car surfaces by moisture that is
slow to evaporate.
Mud is a particular enemy of corrosion protection because it is slow to dry and holds moisture
in contact with the vehicle. Even though the mud
appears to be dry, it can still retain moisture and
promote corrosion.
High temperatures can also accelerate corrosion of parts that are not properly ventilated so
the moisture can be dispersed. For all these
reasons, it is particularly important to keep your
car clean and free of mud or accumulations of
other materials. This applies not only on the
visible surfaces but particularly to the underside
of the car.

E020A01A-AAT

You can help prevent corrosion from getting
started by observing the following:

E020B01A-AAT

Keep Your Car Clean
The best way to prevent corrosion is to keep
your car clean and free of corrosive materials.
Attention to the underside of the car is particularly important.
o If you live in a high-corrosion area — where
road salts are used, near the ocean, areas
with industrial pollution, acid rain, etc.— you
should take extra care to prevent corrosion.
In winter, hose off the underside of your car
at least once a month and be sure to clean
the underside thoroughly when winter is over.
o When cleaning underneath the car, give particular attention to the components under the
fenders and other areas that are hidden from
view. Do a thorough job; just dampening the
accumulated mud rather than washing it away
will accelerate corrosion rather than prevent
it. Water under high pressure and steam are
particularly effective in removing accumulated mud and corrosive materials.

CARE

WASHING AND WAXING
o When cleaning lower door panels, rocker
panels and frame members, be sure that
drain holes are kept open so that moisture
can escape and not be trapped inside to accelerate corrosion.

E020C01A-AAT

Keep Your Garage Dry
Don't park your car in a damp, poorly ventilated
garage. This creates a favorable environment
for corrosion. This is particularly true if you wash
your car in the garage or drive it into the garage
when it is still wet or covered with snow, ice or
mud. Even a heated garage can contribute to
corrosion unless it is well ventilated so moisture
is dispersed.

E020D01A-AAT

Keep Paint and Trim in Good Condition
Scratches or chips in the finish should be covered with "touch-up" paint as soon as possible
to reduce the possibility of corrosion. If bare
metal is showing through, the attention of a
qualified body and paint shop is recommended.

E020E01A-AAT

E030A01A-AAT

Don't Neglect the Interior

Washing Your Hyundai

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

Never wash your car when the surface is hot
from being in the sun. Always wash your car in
the shade.
Wash your car frequently. Dirt is abrasive and
can scratch the paint if it is not removed. Air
pollution or acid rain may damage the paint and
trim through chemical action if pollutants are
allowed to remain in contact with the surface. If
you live near the ocean or in an area where road
salts or dust control chemicals are used, you
should pay particular attention to the underside
of the car. Start by rinsing the car to remove
dust and loose dirt. In winter, or if you have
driven through mud or muddy water, be sure to
thoroughly clean the underside as well. Use a
hard direct stream of water to remove accumulations of mud or corrosive materials. Use a
good quality car-washing solution and follow the
manufacturer's directions on the package. These
are available at your Hyundai dealer or auto
parts outlet. Don't use strong household detergents, gasoline, strong solvents or abrasive
cleaning powders as these may damage the
finish.

Use a clean sponge or cloth, rinse it frequently
and don't damage the finish by rubbing too hard.
For stubborn spots, dampen them frequently
and remove them a little at a time.
To clean whitewall tires, use a stiff brush or
soap-impregnated steel-wool scouring pad.
To clean plastic wheel covers, use a clean
sponge or soft cloth and water.
To clean cast aluminum alloy wheels, use a mild
soap or neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive
cleaners. Protect the bare-metal surfaces by
cleaning, polishing and waxing. Because aluminum is subject to corrosion, be sure to give
aluminum alloy wheels special attention in winter. If you drive on salted roads, clean the
wheels thoroughly afterwards.
After washing, be sure to rinse thoroughly. If
soapy water dries on the finish, streaking will
result.
When the weather is warm and the humidity low,
you may find it necessary to rinse each section
immediately after washing to avoid streaking.

After rinsing, dry the car using a damp chamois
or soft, absorbent cloth. The reason for drying
the car is to remove water from the car so it will
dry without water spots. Don't rub, this can
damage the finish.
If you find any nicks or scratches in the paint,
use touch-up paint to cover them to prevent
corrosion. To protect the paintwork of the car
against corrosion, you must clean your Hyundai
(at least once a month). Give special attention
to the removal of salt, mud and other substances on the underside of the splashboards of the
car. Make sure that the outlets and the underside of the doors are open. Paint damage can be
caused by small accumulation of tar, industrial
precipitation, tree resin, insects and bird droppings, when not removed immediately.
If water alone is not strong enough to remove
the accumulated dirt, use a mild car washing
solution. Be sure to rinse the surface after
washing to remove the solution. Never allow the
solution to dry on the painted surfaces.

E030B01A-AAT

Spot Cleaning
Don't use gasoline, strong solvents or corrosive
cleaning agents. These can damage the finish
of the car. To remove road tar, use turpentine on
a clean, soft cloth. Be gentle.
To remove dead insects or tree sap, use warm
water and mild soap or car-washing solution.
Soak the spot and rub gently. If the paint has
lost its luster, use a commercial car-cleaning
polish.

E030C01A-AAT

Polishing and Waxing
Always wash and dry the car before polishing or
waxing or using a combination cleaner and wax.
Use a good quality commercial product and
follow the manufacturer's directions on the container. Polish and wax the bright trim pieces as
well as the paint.

When to Wax Again

To Clean the Vinyl Upholstery

Cleaning the Seat Belts

You should polish and wax the car again when
water no longer beads on a clean surface but
spreads out over a larger area.

To clean the vinyl upholstery, first remove loose
dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner. Then apply
a solution of mild soap or detergent and water
using a clean sponge or soft cloth. Allow this to
stay on the surface to loosen the dirt, then wipe
with a clean damp sponge or cloth. If all the dirt
stains are not removed, repeat this procedure
until the upholstery is clean. Do not use gasoline, solvent, paint thinner or other strong cleaners.

To clean the seat belts, use a cloth or sponge
with mild soap or detergent and warm water. Do
not use strong detergents, dye, bleach or abrasive materials on the seat belts as this may
weaken the fabric.
While cleaning the belts, inspect them for excessive wear, cuts, fraying or other signs of
damage and replace them if necessary.

E030E01A-AAT

Maintaining Bumpers
Special precautions must be observed to preserve the appearance of the bumpers on your
Hyundai. They are:
o Be careful not to spill battery electrolyte or
hydraulic brake fluid on the bumpers. If you
do, wash it off immediately with clean water.
o Be gentle when cleaning the bumper surfaces. They are made of soft plastic and the
surface can be damaged if mistreated. Do
not use abrasive cleaners. Use warm water
and mild soap or car-washing solution.
o Do not expose the bumpers to high temperatures. For example, if you have your
car repainted, do not leave the bumpers on
the car if the car is going to be placed in a
high-temperature paint booth.

E040E01A-AAT

Cleaning the Windows
E040C01A-AAT

Cleaning the Carpets
Use a foam-type carpet cleaner. Cleaners of
this type are available in aerosol cans in liquid
form or powder. Read the instructions and follow
them exactly. Using a vacuum cleaner with the
appropriate attachment, remove as much dirt
from the carpets as possible. Apply the foam
following the manufacturer's directions, then
rub in overlapping circles. Do not add water.
These cleaners work best when the carpet is
kept as dry as possible.

You may use any household window cleaner on
the windows. However, when cleaning the inside of the rear window be careful not to damage
the rear window defroster wiring.

Service Requirements

Specified Scheduled Procedures

General Checks

To ensure that you receive the greatest number
of miles of satisfying operation from your
Hyundai, certain maintenance procedures must
be performed. Although careful design and engineering have reduced these to a minimum,
those that are required are of the utmost importance.
It is your responsibility to have these maintenance procedures performed to comply with the
terms of the warranties covering your new
Hyundai. The Owner's Handbook supplied with
your new vehicle provides further information
about these warranties.

These are the procedures such as inspections,
adjustments and replacements that are listed in
the maintenance charts starting on page 5-4.
These procedures must be performed at the
intervals shown in the maintenance schedule to
assure that your warranty remains in effect.
Although it is strongly recommended that they
be performed by the factory-trained or distributor-trained technicians at your Hyundai dealer,
these procedures may be performed at any
qualified service facility.
It is suggested that genuine Hyundai service
parts be used for any required repairs or replacements. Other parts of equivalent quality
such as engine oil, engine coolant, manual or
auto transaxle oil, brake fluid and so on which
are not supplied by Hyundai Motor Company or
its distributor may be used without affecting your
warranty coverage but you should always be
sure these are equivalent to the quality of the
original Hyundai parts. Your Owner's Handbook
provides further information about your warranty
coverage.

These are the regular checks you should perform when you drive your Hyundai or you fill the
fuel tank. A list of these items will be found on
page 6-3.

F010B01A-AAT

Maintenance Requirements
The maintenance required for your Hyundai can
be divided into three main areas:
o Specified scheduled procedures
o General checks
o Do-it-yourself maintenance

F010E01A-AAT

Do-It-Yourself Maintenance

A Few Tips
o Whenever you have your Hyundai serviced,
keep copies of the service records in your
glove box. This will help ensure that you can
document that the required procedures have
been performed to keep your warranties in
effect. This is especially important when service is not performed by an authorized
Hyundai dealer.
o If you choose to do your own maintenance
and repairs, you may find it helpful to have
an official Hyundai Shop Manual. A copy of
this publication may be purchased at your
Hyundai dealer's parts department.

F020A02A-AAT

o Inspection should be performed any time a
malfunction is experienced or suspected.
o Receipts for all emission control system services should be retained to demonstrate compliance with conditions of the emissions system warranty.
o After 120 months or 150,000 miles (240,000
km), continue to follow the prescribed maintenance intervals.
o For severe usage maintenance requirements,
see page 5-6 of this section.

The engine oil and filter should be changed at
the intervals specified in the maintenance schedule. If the car is being driven in severe conditions, more frequent oil and filter changes are
required.

Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and connections for leakage and damage. Have a trained
techincian, replace any damaged or leaking
parts immediately.

A clogged filter can limit the speed at which the
vehicle may be driven, damage the emission
system and cause hard starting. If an excessive
amount of foreign matter accumulates in the fuel
tank, the filter may require replacement more
frequently.
After installing a new filter, run the engine for
several minutes, and check for leaks at the
connections.
Fuel filters should be installed by trained technicians.

The vapor hose and fuel filler cap should be

CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL
G030A01A-AAT

Engine oil is essential to the performance and
service of the engine. It is suggested that you
check the oil level at least once a week in
normal use and more often if you are on a trip or
driving in severe conditions.

o If SAE 5W-20, ILSAC GF-3 engine oil is
not available, secondary recommended
engine oil for corresponding temperature
range can be used.

G030D01A-AAT

Adding Oil

G030C02A-AAT

To Check the Oil Level

G030B01O-AAT

Recommended Oil

G030D03A

If the oil level is close to or below the "L" mark,
add oil until it reaches the "F" mark. To add oil:

G030C03A
G030B01JM-U

The engine oil quality should meet the following
classification.
API SJ, SL or ABOVE,
ILSAC GF-3 or ABOVE

NOTE:
o For good fuel economy, SAE 5W-20 (5W30), ILSAC GF-3 engine oil is preferred
regardless of regional option and engine
variation.

Before checking the oil, warm up the engine to
the normal operating temperature and be sure it
is parked on level ground. Turn the engine off.
Wait five minutes, then remove the dipstick,
wipe it off, fully reinsert the dipstick and withdraw it again. Then note the highest level the oil
has reached on the dipstick. It should be between the upper ("F") and lower ("L") range.

CHECKING AND CHANGING
THE ENGINE COOLANT
G050A01A-AAT

WARNING:

Do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the
engine coolant is under pressure and may
erupt through the opening if the cap is removed. You could be seriously burned if you
do not observe this precaution. Do not remove the radiator cap until the radiator is
cool to the touch.

G050B01A-AAT

G050C01A-AAT

Recommended Engine Coolant

To Check the Coolant Level

Use a high quality ethylene-glycol coolant in a
50/50 mix with water. The engine coolant should
be compatible with aluminum engine parts. Additional corrosion inhibitors or additives should
not be used. The cooling system must be maintained with the correct concentration and type of
engine coolant to prevent freezing and corrosion.
Never allow the concentration of antifreeze to
exceed the 60% level or go below the 35% level
or damage to the coolant system may result. For
proper concentration when adding or replacing
the coolant, refer to the following table.

The coolant level can be seen on the side of the
plastic coolant reservoir. The level of the coolant
should be between the "L" and "F" lines on the
reservoir when the engine is cool. If the level is
below the "L" mark, add engine coolant to bring
it up between "L" and "F". If the level is low,
inspect for coolant leaks and recheck the fluid
level frequently. If the level drops again, visit
your Hyundai dealer for an inspection and diagnosis of the reason.

cool.
2. Be sure your drain receptacle is in place.
Open the drain cock on the radiator. Allow all
the engine coolant to drain from the cooling
system, then securely close the drain cock.
3. Check Section 9 for the capacity of the
cooling system in your car. Then, following
the manufacturer's directions on the engine
coolant container, add the appropriate quantity of coolant to the radiator.

G050D01A

4. Turn the radiator cap counterclockwise without pressing down on it, until it stops. This
relieves any pressure remaining in the cooling system. And remove the radiator cap by
pushing down and turning counterclockwise.
Now fill the radiator with clean demineralized
or distilled water. Continue to add clean
demineralized or distilled water in small quantities until the fluid level stays up in the
radiator neck.

Checking Engine Cooling Fan
The engine cooling fan should come on automatically if the engine coolant temperature is
high.

The power steering fluid level should be checked
regularly. To check the power steering fluid
level, be sure the engine is "OFF", then check to
make certain that the power steering fluid level
is between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings
on the fluid reservoir.

NOTE:
G220C01A-AAT

Checking Condenser Cooling Fan
The condenser cooling fan should come on
automatically whenever the air conditioner is in
operation.

Grinding noise from the power steering pump
may be heard immediately after the engine is
started in extremely cold conditions (below
-4°F). If the noise stops during warm up,
there is no abnormal function in the system.
It is due to a power steering fluid characteristic in extremely cold conditions.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
H010A01A-AAT

Your Hyundai is equipped with an emission
control system to meet all requirements of the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or California Air Resources Board.
There are three emission control systems
which are as follows.
1) Crankcase Emission Control System
2) Evaporative Emission Control System
3) Exhaust Emission Control System
In order to ensure the proper function of the
emission control systems, it is recommended
that you have your car inspected and maintained by an authorized Hyundai dealer in
accordance with the maintenance schedule in
this manual.

H010B01A-AAT

1. CRANKCASE EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEM
The positive crankcase ventilation system is
employed to prevent air pollution caused by
blow-by gases being emitted from the crankcase. This system supplies filtered fresh air to
the crankcase through the air intake hose.
Inside the crankcase, the fresh air mixes with
blow-by gases, then passes through the PCV
valve into the induction system.

H010C01S-AAT

2. Evaporative Emission Control (Including ORVR: Onboard Refueling Vapor
Recovery) System
The Evaporative Emission Control System is
designed to prevent fuel vapors from escaping
into the atmosphere.
(The ORVR system is designed to allow the
vapors from the fuel tank to be loaded into a
canister while refueling at the gas station,
preventing the escape of fuel vapors into the
atmosphere.)

Canister
Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel tank are
absorbed and stored in the onboard canister.
When the engine is running, the fuel vapors
absorbed in the canister are drawn into the
induction system through the purge control
solenoid valve.

Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)
The purge control solenoid valve is controlled
by the Engine Control Module (ECM); when
the engine coolant temperature is low during
idling, the PCSV closes so that evaporated fuel
is not taken into the engine. After the engine
warms-up during ordinary driving, the PCSV
opens to introduce evaporated fuel to the
engine.
H010D01A-AAT

3. EXHAUST EMISSION
CONTROL SYSTEM
The Exhaust Emission Control System is a
highly effective system which controls exhaust emissions while maintaining good vehicle performace.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS

CATALYTIC CONVERTER

H020A01A-AAT

Catalytic Converter

HLC5022

All Hyundai vehicles are equipped with a monolith type three-way catalytic converter to
reduce the carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons
and nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust
gas. Exhaust gases passing through the catalytic converter cause it to operate at a very
high temperature. The introduction of large
amounts of unburned gasoline into the exhaust may cause the catalytic converter to
overheat and create a fire hazard. This risk
may be reduced by observing the following:

WARNING:

o Use unleaded fuel only.
o Maintain the engine in good operating
condition. Extremely high catalytic converter temperatures can result from improper operation of the electrical, ignition or multiport electronic fuel injection.
o If your engine stalls, pings, knocks, or
is hard to start, have your Hyundai
dealer inspect and repair the problem
as soon as possible.
o Avoid driving with a very low fuel level.
Running out of gasoline may cause the
engine to misfire and result in damage
to the catalytic converter.
o Avoid idling the engine for periods
longer than 10 minutes.
o The vehicle should not be pushed or
pulled to get started. This may cause
the catalytic converter to overheat and
create a fire hazard.
o Do not touch the catalytic converter or
any other part of the exhaust system
while the catalytic converter is hot.
Shut off the engine, wait for at least one
hour before touching the catalytic converter or any other part of the exhaust

system.

WARNING:
o Remember that your Hyundai dealer is
your best source of assistance.
o Do not stop your Hyundai over any
combustible material such as grass,
paper, leaves or rags. These materials
might contact the hot catalytic converter and a fire might result.

RECOMMENDED COLD TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES

I030A01LC-1

I030A01A-2

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

I030A01LC-2

These pressures were chosen to provide the most satisfactory combination of ride comfort, tire wear and
stability under normal conditions. Tire
pressures should be checked at least
monthly. Proper tire inflation pressures
should be maintained for these reasons:

WARNING:
Severe underinflation (10 psi (70
kPa) or more) can lead to severe
heat buildup, causing blowouts,
tread separation and other tire failures that can result in the loss of
vehicle control leading to severe
injury or death. This risk is much
higher on hot days and when driving for protracted periods at high
speeds.

8 CONSUMER INFORMATION, REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS & BINDING ARBITRATION OF WARRANTY CLAIMS

NOTE:
o Underinflation also results in excessive wear, poor handling and
reduced fuel economy. Wheel deformation also is possible. Keep
your tire pressures at the proper
levels. If a tire frequently needs
refilling, have it checked by your
Hyundai Dealer.
o Overinflation produces a harsh
ride, excessive wear at the center
of the tire tread, and a greater
possibility of damage from road
hazards.

WARNING:
Overinflation or underinflation can
reduce the tire life, adversely affect
vehicle handling, and lead to sudden tire failure. This could rusult in
loss of vehicle control and potential
injury.

CAUTION:
Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tires
are cold. (After the vehicle has
been parked for at least three
hours or hasn't been driven more
than one mile (1.6 km) since starting up.)
o Check the pressure of your spare
tire each time you check the pressure of other tires.
o Never overload your vehicle. Be
especially careful about overloading if you equip your vehicle with
a luggage rack.
o Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If your tread is badly worn,
or if your tires have been damaged, replace them.

I035A01JM-AAT

CHECKING TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE
Check your tires once a month or
more.
Also, check the tire pressure of the
spare tire.
How to Check
Use a good quality gage to check tire
pressure. You can not tell if your tires
are properly inflated simply by looking
at them. Radial tires may look properly
inflated even when they're underinflated.
Check the tire's inflation pressure when
the tires are cold. - "Cold" means your
vehicle has been sitting for at least
three hours or driven no more than 1
mile (1.6 km).

Remove the valve cap from the tire
valve stem. Press the tire gage firmly
onto the valve to get a pressure measurement. If the cold tire inflation pressure matches the recommended pressure on the tire and loading information
label, no further adjustment is necessary. If the pressure is low, add air
until you reach the recommended
amount.
If you overfill the tire, release air by
pushing on the metal stem in the
center of the tire valve. Recheck the
tire pressure with the tire gage. Be
sure to put the valve caps back on the
valve stems. They help prevent leaks
by keeping out dirt and moisture.

show across the tread of a tire when
only 2/32 inch of tread remains.
UTQGS: Uniform Tire Quality Grading
Standards, a tire information system
that provides consumers with ratings
for a tire's traction, temperature and
treadwear. Ratings are determined by
tire manufacturers using government
testing procedures. The ratings are
molded into the sidewall of the tire.

ALL SEASON TIRES

SNOW TIRES

Hyundai specifies all season tires on
some models to provide good performance for use all year round, including
snowy and icy road conditions. All season tires are identified by ALL SEASON and/or M+S (Mud and Snow) on
the tire sidewall. Snow tires have better
snow traction than all season tires an
may be more appropriate in some areas.

If you equip your car with snow tires,
they should be the same size and
have the same load capacity as the
original tires. Snow tires should be
installed on all four wheels; otherwise,
poor handling may result.
Snow tires should carry 4 psi (28 kPa)
more air pressure than the pressure
recommended for the standard tires on
the tire label on the driver's side of the
center pillar , or up to the maximum
pressure shown on the tire sidewall
whichever is less.
Do not drive faster than 75 mph (120
km/h) when your car is equipped with
snow tires.

I040C01JM-AAT

SUMMER TIRES
Hyundai specifies summer tires on
some models to provide superior performance on dry roads. Summer tire
performance is substantrally reduced in
snow and ice. Summer tires do not
have the tire traction rating M+S (Mud
and Snow) on the tire side wall. if you
plan to operate your vehicle in snowy or
icy conditions. Hyundai recommends
the use of snow tires or all season tires
on all four wheels.

TIRE CHAINS

TIRE ROTATION

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 handling
characteristics that could result
in death, serious injury, or property damage.

Tire chains, if necessary, should be installed on
the front wheels. Be sure that the chains are
installed in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
To minimize tire and chain wear, do not continue to use tire chains when they are no
longer needed.

WARNING:

o When driving on roads covered with snow
or ice, drive at less than 20 mph (30 km/h).
o Use the SAE "S" class or wire & plastic
chains.
o If you have noise caused by chains
contacting the body, retighten the chain
to avoid contact with the vehicle body.
o To prevent body damage, retighten the
chains after driving 0.3~0.6 miles.

HEF-241

Tires should be rotated every 7,500
miles (12,000 km). If you notice that
tires are wearing unevenly between
rotations, have the car checked by a
Hyundai dealer so the cause may be
corrected.
After rotating, adjust the tire pressures
and be sure to check the wheel nut
torque.

TIRE BALANCING

WHEN TO REPLACE TIRES

A tire that is out of balance may affect
handling and tire wear. The tires on
your Hyundai were balanced before
the car was delivered but may need
balancing again during the years you
own the car.
Whenever a tire is dismounted for
repair, it should be rebalanced before
being reinstalled
on the car.
I080A01A-AAT

TIRE TRACTION
Tire traction can be reduced if you
drive on worn tires, tires that are improperly inflated or on slippery road
surfaces. Tires should be replaced
when tread wear indicators appear. To
reduce the possibility of losing control,
slow down whenever there is rain,
snow or ice on the road.

0.06 in. (1.6 mm)

Tread wear indicator
HGK248

The original tires on your car have
tread wear indicators. The location of
tread wear indicators is shown by the
"TWI" or "
" marks, etc., The tread
wear indicators appear when the tread
depth is 0.06 in. (1.6 mm). The tire
should be replaced when these appear
as a solid bar across two or more
grooves of the tread. Always replace
your tires with those of the recommended size. If you change wheels,
the new wheel's rim width and offset
must meet Hyundai specification.

WARNING:
o Driving on worn-out tires is dangerous! Worn-out tires can cause
loss of braking effectiveness,
steering control and traction.
When replacing tires, never mix
radial and bias ply tires on the
same car. If you replace radial
tires with bias-ply tires, they must
be installed in sets of four.
o Using tires and wheels of other
than the recommended sizes
could cause unusual handling
characteristics that could cause
death, serious injury, or property
damage.
o Wheels that do not meet Hyundai's
dimensional specifications may
fit poorly and result in damage to
the vehicle, including broken
wheel studs.

Tire Quality Grading
Department of Transportation quality
grades - All passenger vehicle tires
must conform to Federal Safety Standards in addition to these grades. These
quality grades are molded on the
sidewall.
Treadwear - The treadwear grade is a
comparative rating based on the wear
rate of the tire when tested under
controlled conditions on a specified
government test course. For example,
a tire graded 150 would wear one and
a half (1 - 1/2) times as well on the
government course as a tire graded
100. The relative performance of tires
depends upon the actual conditions of
their use, however, and may depart
significantly from the norm due to
variations in driving habits, service
practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.

Traction AA, A, B, C - The traction
grades, from highest to lowest, are
AA, A, B, and C. Those grades represent the tire's ability to stop on wet
pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and
concrete. A tire marked C may have
poor traction performance.

WARNING:

The traction grade assigned to this
tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.

8 CONSUMER INFORMATION, REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS & BINDING ARBITRATION OF WARRANTY CLAIMS
14

Temperature A, B, C - The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and
C, representing the tire's resistance to
the generation of heat and its ability to
dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor
laboratory test wheel. Sustained high
temperature can cause the material of
the tire to degenerate and reduce tire
life, and excessive temperature can
lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C
corresponds to a level of performance
which all passenger car tires must
meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B
and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel
than the minimum required by law.

I130D03A-AAT

WARNING:
The temperature grade for this tire
is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or
excessive loading, either separately
or in combination, can cause heat
buildup and possible tire failure.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading - Quality grades can be found on the tire
sidewall between the tread shoulder
and the maximum section width.
For example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA
