B010B01A-AAT What About Gasohol? Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gasoline and 10% ethanol or grain alcohol) may be used in your Hyundai.However, if your engine developsdriveability problems, the use of 100%unleaded gasoline is recommended.Fuels with unspecified quantities of alcohol, or alcohols other than ethanol, should not be used. B010D01S-AAT Do not Use Methanol Fuels containing methanol (wood al- cohol) should not be used in yourHyundai. This type of fuel can reducevehicle performance and damage com-ponents of the fuel system. B010E01A-AAT Gasolines for Cleaner Air To help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai recommends that you usegasolines treated with detergent addi-tives, which help prevent deposit for- mation in the engine. These gasolines will help the engine run cleaner andenhance performance of the EmissionControl System.
B010A02A-GAT FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS Use Unleaded Gasoline Unleaded gasoline with a Pump Oc- tane Rating of 87 (Research OctaneNumber 91) or higher must be used in Hyundai vehicle. If leaded gasoline is used, it will cause the catalytic con-verter to become ineffective and theemission control system to malfunc-tion.This can also result in increased main- tenance expense. To avoid accidental use of leaded fuel, the large nozzleused with leaded gasoline at servicestations can not be inserted into fueltank opening of Hyundai vehicle.
NOTE:
o For some countries, Hyundai ve-
hicles are designed to use leadedgasoline. When you are going touse leaded gasoline, ask to Hyundai dealer whether leaded gasoline in your vehicle is avail-able or not.
o Octane Rating of leaded gaso- line is same with unleaded one.

! CAUTION:
Your Hyundai's New Vehicle Lim- ited Warranty may not cover dam- age to the fuel system and perfor- mance problems that are caused bythe use of methanol or fuels con-taining methanol.

Passenger's Airbag
B240B05L
B240B04L
Passenger's Airbag
After complete inflation, the airbag immediately starts deflating, enablingthe driver to maintain forward visibility.
B240B03L
The airbag modules are located bothin the center of the steering wheel andin the front passenger's panel abovethe glove box. When the SRSCM de-tects a considerable impact to the front of the vehicle, it will automatically de- ploy the airbags. Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly into the pad covers will sepa-rate under pressure from the expan- sion of the airbags. Further opening of the covers then allows full inflation ofthe airbags. A fully inflated airbag in combination with a properly worn seat belt slows the driver's or the passenger's forward motion, thus reducing the risk of heador chest injury.
B240B02L
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on the instrument panel will blinkfor about 6 seconds after the ignitionkey is turned to the "ON" position or after the engine is started, after which the SRI should go out.
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 1- 35
B990A04Y-GAT PASSENGER PRESENCE DETECTION (If installed) The passenger presence detection system detects the presence of a pas-senger in the front seat. If no passen-ger is recognized on the front passen-ger seat, the deployment of the front passenger and/or side airbag and seat belt pretentioner will be inhibited.This system is designed primarily toprevent the replacement of airbag com-ponents that deploy needlessly in anaccident. NOTE: Luggage or other cargo heavier than 15 kg should not be placed on the passenger front seat. This can al-low the deployment of the frontpassenger and/or side air bag inthe case of an accident.
o The SRS can function only when
the ignition key is in the "ON"position. If the SRS SRI does notcome on, or continuously re-mains on, after flashing for about6 seconds when the ignition keyis turned to the "ON" position, or after the engine is started, comes on while driving, the SRS is notworking properly. If this occurs,have your vehicle immediatelyinspected by your Hyundaidealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or dis-
connect a battery terminal, turnthe ignition key to the "LOCK"position or remove the ignitionkey. Never remove or replace theair bag related fuse(s) when the ignition key is in the "ON" posi- tion. Failure to heed this warningwill cause the SRS SRI to illumi-nate.
WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there may be a loud noise and fine dustwill be released throughout thevehicle. These conditions arenormal and are not hazardous. However, the fine dust generated during airbag deployment maycause skin irritation. Wash yourhands and face thoroughly withlukewarm water and a mild soapafter an accident in which the airbags were deployed.

CAUTION:
When installing a container of liq- uid air freshener inside a vehicle, do not place it near the instrument cluster nor on the instrument panelpad surface. If there is any leakagefrom the air freshener onto theseareas (Instrument cluster, instru-ment panel pad or air ventilator), it may damage these parts. If the liq- uid from air freshener does leakonto these areas, wash them withwater immediately.!
