C130A01A-AAT GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES
WARNING:
Nothing should be carried on top of the shelf panel behind the rear seat. If there were an accident or a sud-den stop, such objects could move forward and cause damage to the vehicle or injure the occupants.
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 undercontrol at all times. If the braking
action does not return to normal, stop as soon as it is safe to do soand call your Hyundai dealer for assistance.

C090P01A-GAT Overdrive Switch
When the overdrive switch is turned on, the transaxle will automatically upshift to the second, third and over-drive gears. When the overdrive switch is turned off, the transaxle will not upshift to the overdrive gear. For nor-mal driving, the selector lever should be left in the "D" position and the overdrive switch turned on.If you need to accelerate rapidly, press the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor. The transaxle will automaticallyshift to a lower gear, depending on the vehicle speed and load.
!WARNING:
o The risk of rollover is greatly in- creased if you lose control of your vehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off theroadway 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 pull-ing back into the travel lanes.
o In a collision crash, an unbelted
person is significantly more likelyto die than a person wearing a seatbelt.

Head Restraint Adjustment
To raise the head restraint, pull it up. To
lower it, push it down while pressing the
lock knob. For maximum effectiveness
in the event of an accident, the restraint
must be adjusted so that the restraint is
approximately at the level of the seat
occupant's ears. The restraint must
never be so adjusted that it is centred
about the level of the seat occupant's
neck.SB070C1-E
Front Seat Recline Adjustment
HTB026-D
The front seat back recline angle may
be adjusted by leaning forward slightly
and raising the recline adjustment lever
at the side of the seat. When the
seatback is at the desired angle, the
lever should be released. Ensure that
the seatback is locked before driving
the vehicle.
!WARNING:
To minimize risk of severe injury in
the event of a collision or a sudden
stop, both the driver and passenger
seatbacks should always be in an
upright position while the vehicle is
in motion. The protection provided
by the seat belts and airbags in a
frontal collision may be reduced sig-
nificantly when the seatbacks are
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 seatbacks are reclined. The
seat belt cannot provide full protec-
tion to an occupant if the seatback is
reclined.

B180B01A-EAT
Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt
B180B01S-D
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 colli-
sions. The pre-tensioner seat belts can
be activated with the airbags.
The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in
the same way as an Emergency Lock-
ing Retractor (ELR) type of seat belt.
When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if
the occupant tries to lean forward too
quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock
into position. However, in certain frontal
collisions, the pre-tensioner will acti-
vate and pull the seat belt into tighter
contact against the occupant's body.
The seat belt pre-tensioner system
consists mainly of the following compo-
nents. Their locations are shown in the
illustration.
1. SRS airbag warning light
2. Seat belt pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module HTB198-D

dust may cause skin irritation and
should not be breathed for pro-
longed periods. Wash your hands
and face thoroughly after an acci-
dent in which the pre-tensioner
seat belts were activated. it illuminates whilst the vehicle is
being driven, please have an au-
thorized Hyundai dealer inspect
the pre-tensioner seat belt or SRS
airbag system as soon as pos-
sible.
CAUTION:
o Because the sensor that activates the SRS airbag is connected with
the pre-tensioner 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 function of the SRS airbag sys-
tem.
If the SRS airbag warning light
does not illuminate when the igni-
tion key is turned to "ON", or if it
remains illuminated after blinking
for approximately 6 seconds, or if WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to op- erate only one time. After activa-
tion, pre-tensioner 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 assem-
bly mechanisms become hot dur-
ing 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 re-
place 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.
!
!WARNING:
To obtain maximum benefit from a
pre-tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn cor- rectly.
2. The seat belt must be adjusted to the correct position.
NOTE:
o Both the driver's and front passenger's pre-tensioner seat
belts will be activated in certain
frontal collisions. The pre-
tensioner seat belts can be acti-
vated with the airbags. The pre-
tensioners will be activated under
these conditions even 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 vis-
ible in the passenger compart-
ment. These are normal operating
conditions and are not hazard-
ous.
