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 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 proce-
dures could increase the risk of personal
injury.
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.

HOMELINK PROGRAMMING
CAUTION:
o Make sure people and/or objects are out
of the way of any garage doors or gates
you may be operating during the pro-
gramming procedures.
o Keep original transmitters for potential
future programming needs, or in case
you sell the vehicle.
o In the event you do sell your vehicle, it's
recommended you erase your pro-
grammed HomeLink mirror buttons.
WARNING:Do not use HomeLink with any garage door
opener that lacks the safety stop and re-
verse feature as required by federal safety
standards (includes garage doors manu-
factured before April 1, 1982), as these
doors can increase the risk of serious injury
or death. Call 1-800-355-3515 or visit
www.homelink.com for more information.
NOTE:If programming a garage door opener or
gate, it is advised to unplug the device
during the "cycling" process to prevent
possible motor burnout.

Programming
Your vehicle may require that the ignition switch
to be turned to the "ACC" position to program
and/or operate HomeLink system. It is also
recommended that a new battery be placed in
the handheld transmitter of the device being
programmed to HomeLink for quicker program-
ming and accurate transmission of the radio-
frequency.
Follow these steps to program your HomeLink
mirror:
1. When programming the buttons for the first
time, press and hold the two outside
HomeLink buttons ( , ), releasing when
the indicator light begins to flash (approxi-
mately 20 seconds). This procedure erases
the factory-set default codes. Do not per-
form this step when programming additional
transmitters.2. Hold the transmitter of the device you want
to program 1 to 3 inches away from the
bottom of the mirror. Simultaneously press
the handheld transmitter button and the
HomeLink button you wish to program. The
indicator light will flash slowly at first, then
rapidly, indicating successful programming.
3. If the garage door opener or other device you
wish to program is rolling-code equipped,
proceed to the "Rolling Code Programming"
section.
4. Repeat step 2 to program the remaining
HomeLink buttons.
Additional Programming for Rolling Code
Devices
For any rolling-code-equipped device; follow
the steps below after completing the "Program-
ming" section. A second person may make the
following steps easier.
1. Locate the "learn" or "smart" button on the
device's motor head unit. The exact location
and color of the button varies by product
brand, but is usually referenced in the device's
owner's manual. Contact HomeLink at 1-
800-355-3515 or www.homelink.com for

B750A02A-AATSTEREO SOUND SYSTEM
How Car Audio Works
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 high quality reproduction.
However, in some cases the signal coming to
your vehicle is not 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 fre-
quency. 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.FM broadcasts are transmitted at high fre-
quency and do not bend to follow the earth's
surface. Because of this, FM broadcasts gen-
erally 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:

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.o Station Swapping - As a FM signal weakens,
another more powerful signal near the same
frequency may begin to play. This is be-
cause 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.
B750B02Y-AATUsing a cellular phone or a two-way radio
When a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle,
noise may be produced from the audio equip-
ment. This does not mean that something 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.
CAUTION:When using a communication system such
a cellular phone or a radio set inside the
vehicle, a separate external antenna must
be fitted. When a cellular phone or a radio
set is used with an internal antenna alone,
it may interfere with the vehicle's electrical
system and adversely affect safe operation
of the vehicle.
WARNING:Don't use a cellular phone when you are
driving, you must stop at a safe place to use
a cellular phone.

o Never leave a cassette inserted in the player
when not being played. This could damage
the tape player unit and the cassette tape.
o We strongly recommend against the use of
tapes longer than C-60 (60 minutes total).
Tapes such as C-120 or C-180 are very thin
and do not perform as well in the automotive
environment.o Store cassettes in a cool, dry place with the
open side facing down to prevent dust from
settling in the cassette body.
o Avoid repeated fast reverse usage to replay
one given tune or tape section. This can
cause poor tape winding to occur, and even-
tually cause excessive internal drag and
poor audio quality in the cassette. If this
occurs, it can sometimes be corrected by
fast winding the tape from end to end several
times.
If this does not correct the problem, do not
continue to use the tape in your vehicle.
o Be sure that the cassette label is not loose
or peeling off or tape ejection may be difficult.
o Never touch or soil the actual audio tape
surfaces.
o Keep all magnetized objects, such as elec-
tric motors, speakers or transformers away
from your cassette tapes and tape player
unit.o The playback head, capstan and pinch roll-
ers will develop a coating of tape residue that
can result in deterioration of sound quality,
such as a wavering sound. They should be
cleaned monthly using a commercially avail-
able head cleaning tape or special solutionavailable from audio specialty shops. Follow
the supplier's directions carefully and never
oil any part of the tape player unit.
o Always be sure that the tape is tightly wound
on its reel before inserting in the player.
Rotate a pencil in the drive sprockets to wind
up any slack.
NOTE:Look at a tape before you insert it. If the tape
is loose, tighten it by turning one of the
hubs with a pencil or your finger. If the label
is peeling off, do not put it in the drive
mechanism.
Do not leave tapes sitting where they are
exposed to hot, warm, or high humidity,
such as on top of the dashboard or in the
player. If a tape is exposed to extreme heat
or cold, let it reach a moderate temperature
before putting it in the player.
