WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to operate
only one time. After activation, pre-
tensioner seat belts must be replaced. All
seat belts, of any type, should always be
replaced after they have been worn dur-
ing a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly
mechanisms become hot during activa-
tion. Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies for several minutes after
they have been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or replace 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.
o Do not attempt to service or repair the
pre-tensioner seat belt system in any
manner.
o Improper handling of the pre-tensioner
seat belt assemblies, and failure to heed
the warnings to not strike, modify, in-
spect, replace, service or repair the pre-
tensioner seat belt assemblies may lead
to improper operation or inadvertent acti-
vation and serious injury.
o Always wear the seat belts when driving
or riding in a motor vehicle.
CAUTION:
o Because the sensor that activates the
SRS airbag is connected with the pre-
tensioner seat belt, the SRS airbag warn-
ing 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 mal-
function of the SRS airbag system.
If the SRS airbag warning light does not
illuminate when the ignition key is turned
to "ON", or if it remains illuminated after
blinking for approximately 6 seconds, or
if it illuminates while the vehicle is being
driven, please have an authorized Hyundai
dealer inspect the pre-tensioner seat
belts and SRS airbag system as soon as
possible.
!
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 activated
alone or, where the frontal collision is
severe enough, together with the
airbags.
The pre-tensioners will not be acti-
vated 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 visible in the passenger compart-
ment. These are normal operating condi-
tions and are not hazardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine dust may
cause skin irritation and should not be
breathed for prolonged periods. Wash
your hands and face thoroughly after an
accident in which the pre-tensioner seat
belts were activated.

WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there may
be a loud noise and fine dust will be
released throughout the vehicle. These
conditions are normal and are not haz-
ardous. However, the fine dust gener-
ated during airbag deployment may
cause skin irritation. Wash your hands
and face thoroughly with lukewarm wa-
ter and a mild soap after an accident in
which the airbags were deployed. Passenger's Airbag

WARNING:
o The SRS can function only when the
ignition key is in the "ON" position. If
the SRS SRI does not illuminate, or
continuously remains on, after flashing
for about 6 seconds when the ignition
key is turned to the "ON" position, or
after the engine is started, comes on
while driving, the SRS is not working
properly. If this occurs, have your vehi-
cle immediately inspected by your
Hyundai dealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or disconnect
a battery terminal, turn the ignition key
to the "LOCK" position or remove the
ignition key. Never remove or replace
the air bag related fuse(s) when the
ignition key is in the "ON" position.
Failure to heed this warning will cause
the SRS SRI to illuminate.
CAUTION:
When installing a container of liquid air
freshener inside the vehicle, do not place it
near the instrument cluster nor on the in-
strument panel surface. If there is any leak-
age from the air freshener onto these areas
(instrument cluster, instrument panel or air
ventilator), it may damage these parts. If the
liquid from the air freshener does leak onto
these areas, wash them with water immedi-
ately.

34WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
!!
WARNING:
While the engine is running, keep hands,
long hair and clothing away from moving
parts such as the fan and drive belts to
prevent injury.
D030A02A-AATIf your temperature gauge indicates overheat-
ing, you experience a loss of power, or hear loud
pinging or knocking, the engine is probably too
hot. If this happens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P" (auto-
matic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set
the parking brake. If the air conditioner is on,
turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the car or
steam is coming out from the hood, stop the
engine. Do not open the hood until the cool-
ant has stopped running or the steaming has
stopped. If there is no visible loss of coolant
and no steam, leave the engine running and
check to be sure the engine cooling fan is
operating. If the fan is not running, turn the
engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is
missing. If it is not missing, check to see that
it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be
satisfactory, check for coolant leaking from
the radiator, hoses or under the car. (If the air
conditioner had been in use, it is normal for
cold water to be draining from it when you
stop).5. If the water pump drive belt is broken or
coolant is leaking out, stop the engine im-
mediately and call the nearest Hyundai deal-
er for assistance.
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. This may allow coolant to be
blown out of the opening and cause serious
burns.
6. If you cannot find the cause of the overheat-
ing, wait until the engine temperature has
returned to normal. Then, if coolant has been
lost, carefully add water to the reservoir
(Page 6-7) to bring the fluid level in the
reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for fur-
ther signs of overheating. If overheating hap-
pens again, call a Hyundai dealer for assis-
tance. Then attach the other end of that cable to a
solid metal part of the engine away from the
battery. Do not connect the cable to any
moving part.
4. Start the engine in the car with the booster
battery and let it run for a few minutes. This
will help to assure that the booster battery is
fully charged. During the jumping operation,
run the engine in this vehicle at about 2000
rpm.
5. Start the engine in the car with the dis-
charged battery using the normal starting
procedure. After the engine starts, leave the
jumper cables connected and let the engine
run at fast idle or about 2000 rpm for several
minutes.
6. Carefully remove the jumper cables in the
reverse order of attachment.
If you do not know why your battery became
discharged (because the lights were left on,
etc.), have the charging system checked by
your Hyundai dealer.
