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.

B240B02A-GAT SRS Components and Functions
B240B01L
The SRS consists of the following com- ponents:
- Driver's Airbag Module
- Passenger's Airbag Module
- SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM) The SRSCM continually monitors all elements while the ignition is "ON" todetermine if a frontal or near-frontalimpact is severe enough to requireairbag deployment.
o For maximum safety protection
in all types of crashes, all occu-pants including the driver shouldalways wear their seat beltswhether or not an airbag is alsoprovided at their seating posi-tion to minimize the risk of se- vere injury or death in the event of a crash. Do not sit or leanunnecessarily close to the airbagwhile the vehicle is in motion.
o The SRS airbag system must de- ploy very rapidly to provide pro- tection in a crash. If an occupant is out of position because of notwearing a seat belt, the airbagmay forcefully contact the occu-pant causing serious or fatal in-juries.o Do not tamper with or discon-nect SRS wiring, or other com- ponents of the SRS system. Do-ing so could result in injury, dueto accidental firing of the airbagsor by rendering the SRS inopera-tive.
o Do not install a child restraint
system in the front passengerseat position. A child restraintsystem must never be placed inthe front seat. The infant or childcould 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 olderchildren (teenagers and older)must ride in the front seat, make sure they are always properly belted and that the seat is movedback as far as possible.

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.

B240C02Y-GAT SRS Care The SRS is virtually maintenance-free and there are no parts you can safelyservice by yourself. The entire SRSsystem must be inspected by an au-thorized Hyundai dealer 10 years after the date that the vehicle was manufac- tured. Any work on the SRS system, such as removing, installing, repairing, or anywork on the steering wheel must be performed by a qualified Hyundai tech- nician. Improper handling of the SRSsystem may result in serious personalinjury.
o Do not place any objects (an
umbrella, bag, etc.) between thefront door and the front seat.Such objects may become dan-gerous projectiles and cause in-jury if the supplemental side im- pact air bag inflates.
o To prevent unexpected deploy- ment of the side impact air bag that may result in personal in-jury, avoid impact to the sideairbag sensor when the ignition key is on.
o For best protection from the side
airbag system and to avoid being injured by the deploying sideimpact airbag, both front seatoccupants should sit in an up- right position with the seat belt properly fastened. The driver'shands should be placed on thesteering wheel at the 9:00 and3:00 o'clock positions. Thepassenger's arms and hands should be placed in 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 impactairbag.
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 andyourself.
