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 posi-
tions. Do not misuse the ISOFIX an-
chors 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 prop-
erly in the center of the rear seat and
may break, causing serious injury or
death.
o Do not mount more than one child
restraint to a single tether or to a child
restraint lower anchorage point. The im-
proper increased load may cause the an-
chorage points or tether anchor to break,
causing serious injury or death.
o Attach the ISOFIX or ISOFIX-compatible
child seat only to the appropriate loca-
tions shown.
o Always follow the installation and use
instructions provided by the manufac-
turer of the child restraint.

Securing the Child Restraint Seat with
the "ISOFIX" System
Some child seat manufacturers make safety
seats that are labeled as ISOFIX or ISOFIX-
compatible child seats. These seats include two
rigid or webbing mounted attachments that con-
nect 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.

To install a child restraint system in the out-
board rear seats, extend the shoulder/lap belt
entirely from its retractor until a "click" is felt.
This will engage the seat belt retractor auto-
matic 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 retrac-
tor has engaged the automatic locking feature
by trying to extend webbing out of the retrac-
tor. If the retractor is in the automatic locking

Use the center seat belt for the rear seat to
secure the child restraint system as illustrated.
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 install-
ing the child restraint system in your vehicle.

On center rear seat
Follow the child seat manufacturer's instruc-
tions to properly install safety seats with ISOFIX
or ISOFIX-compatible attachments.
Once you have installed the ISOFIX child re-
straint seat, assure that the seat is properly
attached to the ISOFIX and tether anchors.
Also, test the safety seat before you place the
child in it. Tilt the seat from side to side. Also try
to tug the seat forward. Check to see if the
anchors hold the seat in place.
WARNING:If the child restraint seat is not anchored
properly, the risk of a child being seriously
injured or killed in a collision greatly increases.

B180C02A-AAT
Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt
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.
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 pre-
tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn correctly.
2. The seat belt must be adjusted to the
correct position. 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 auto-
matically revert back to its normal seated
passenger emergency locking usage condition.
NOTE:o Before installing the child restraint sys-
tem, read the instructions supplied by the
child restraint system manufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate as de-
scribed, have the system checked imme-
diately by your authorized Hyundai dealer.
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.

After Changing Wheels
If you have a tire gauge, remove the valve cap
and check the air pressure. If the pressure is
lower than recommended, drive slowly to the
nearest service station and inflate to the correct
pressure. If it is too high, adjust it until it is
correct. Always reinstall the valve cap after
checking or adjusting tire pressure. If the cap is
not replaced, air may leak from the tire. If you
lose a valve cap, buy another and install it as
soon as possible.
After you have changed wheels, always secure
the flat tire in its place in the trunk and return the
jack and tools to their proper storage locations.

If your car has to be towed, it should be done by
your Hyundai dealer or a commercial tow truck
service. This will help assure that your car is not
damaged in towing. Also, professionals are gen-
erally aware of state and local laws governing
towing. In any case, rather than risk damage to
your car, it is suggested that you show this
information to the tow truck operator. Be sure
that a safety chain system is used and that all
state and local laws are observed.

o Fuel Lines, Fuel Hoses and
Connections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and connec-
tions for leakage and damage. Have a trained
techincian, replace any damaged or leaking
parts immediately.
F060C01A-AATo Fuel Filter
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 techni-
cians.
F060M01A-AAT
o Engine Oil and Filter
The engine oil and filter should be changed at
the intervals specified in the maintenance sched-
ule. If the car is being driven in severe condi-
tions, more frequent oil and filter changes are
required.

F060F01A-AATo Vacuum, Crankcase Ventilation
Hoses
Inspect the surface of hoses for evidence of
heat and/or mechanical damage. Hard and brittle
rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and
excessive swelling indicate deterioration. Par-
ticular attention should be paid to examine those
hose surfaces nearest to high heat sources,
such as the exhaust manifold.
Inspect the hose routing to assure that the
hoses do not come in contact with any heat
source, sharp edges or moving component which
might cause heat damage or mechanical wear.
Inspect all hose connections, such as clamps
and couplings, to make sure they are secure,
and that no leaks are present. Hoses should be
replaced immediately if there is any evidence of
deterioration or damage.
