WARNING:
Parents should teach children about the
emergency trunk release lever in their ve-
hicle and how to open the trunk lid if they
are accidentally locked in the trunk. o Do not use cellular phones around a
gas station. The electric current or elec-
tronic interference from cellular phones
can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
o When refueling always shut the engine
off. Sparks by electrical equipment of
the engine can ignite fuel vapors caus-
ing a fire. After refueling, check to make
sure the fuel filler cap is securely closed,
and then start the engine.
o Do not smoke or try to light cigarettes
around a gas station. Automotive fuels
are flammable.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI2
!
WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
C010A03A-AATEngine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open the windows immediately.o Do not inhale exhaust fumes.Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation.o Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If you hear a change
in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the car, have the exhaust system checked
as soon as possible by your Hyundai dealer.o Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the engine in your garage any
longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out.o Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car.If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an open area with the air intake
set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior.
If you must drive with the trunk lid/ tail gate open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary:
1. Close all windows.
2. Open side vents.
3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the windshield are kept clear
of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.

notch of the wheel, hitting the cen-
ter of the wheel cap with your
hand.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
IF YOUR CAR MUST BE TOWED
D060J01E-AATAfter Changing Wheels
If you have a tire gauge, remove the
valve cap and check the air pressure.
D080A01A-AAT
CAUTION:
Your car can be damaged if towed incor-
rectly!
HLC4012
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.
D080A01A
o OK FOR AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL
TRANSAXLE EQUIPPED VEHICLE!
After changing wheels, have a techni-
cian tighten the wheel nuts to their
proper torque as soon as possible.
Wheel nut tightening torque:
Steel wheel & aluminium alloy wheel:
65-80 lb.ft (900-1,100 kg.cm)If the pressure is lower than recom-
mended, drive slowly to the nearest
service station and inflate to the cor-
rect pressure. If it is too high, adjust
it until it is correct. Always reinstall
the valve cap after checking or ad-
justing 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, al-
ways secure the flat tire in its place in
the trunk and return the jack and tools
to their proper storage locations.
