B010A02A-GAT Use Unleaded Gasoline Unleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane Rating of 87 (Research Octane Number91) or higher must be used in Hyundai vehicle. If leaded gasoline is used, it will cause the catalytic converter tobecome ineffective and the emission control system to malfunction. This can also result in increased main-tenance expense. To avoid accidental use of leaded fuel, the large nozzle used with leaded gasoline at servicestations can not be inserted into the fuel tank opening of Hyundai vehicle. NOTE:
o For some countries, Hyundai ve-
hicles are designed to use leaded gasoline. When you are going touse leaded gasoline, ask to Hyundai dealer whether leaded gasoline in your vehicle is avail-able or not.
o Octane Rating of leaded gaso-
line is same with unleaded one.
FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
B010B01A-AAT What About Gasohol? Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gasoline and 10% ethanol or grainalcohol) may be used in your Hyundai. However, if your engine develops drive ability problems, the use of 100% un-leaded gasoline is recommended. Fu- els with unspecified quantities of alco- hol, or alcohols other than ethanol,should not be used. B010D01S-AAT Do not Use Methanol Fuels containing methanol (wood al- cohol) should not be used in yourHyundai. This type of fuel can reduce vehicle performance and damage com- ponents of the fuel system.
!
CAUTION:
Your Hyundai's New Vehicle Lim- ited Warranty may not cover dam-age to the fuel system and perfor- mance problems that are caused by the use of methanol or fuels con-taining methanol.

CAUTION:
o Because the sensor that activates the SRS airbag is connected with pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRS airbag warning light on the instrument panel will illuminatefor approximately 6 seconds af- ter the ignition key has been turned to the "ON" position, andthen it should turn off.
o If pre-tensioner seat belt is not
working properly, this warninglight will illuminate even if there is no malfunction of the SRS airbag. If the SRS airbag warninglight does not illuminate when the ignition key is turned to "ON", or if it blinks for a second andremains illuminated after illumi- nating for approximately 6 sec- onds, or if it illuminates while thevehicle is being driven, please have an authorized Hyundai dealer inspect the pre-tensioner seat beltor SRS airbag system as soon as possible. WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to operate only one time. After acti- vation, pre-tensioner seat beltsmust be replaced. All seat belts, of any type, should always be replaced after they have beenworn during a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt as-
sembly mechanisms become hotduring activation. Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat belt as- semblies for several minutes af- ter they have been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or re-
place the pre-tensioner seat beltsyourself. 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 not tostrike, modify, inspect, replace, service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies may lead toimproper operation or inadvertent activation and serious injury.
o Always wear the seat belts when driving or riding in a motor ve-hicle.

Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly into the pad covers will sepa-rate under pressure from the expan- sion of the airbags. Further opening of the covers then allows full inflation ofthe airbags.
B240B02L
The SRS service reminder indicator(SRI) on the instrument panel will illu-minate for about 6 seconds after the ignition key is turned to the "ON" posi- tion or after the engine is started, afterwhich the SRI should go out. The airbag modules are located both in the center of the steering wheel and in the front passenger's panel above the glove box. When the SRSCM detects aconsiderable impact to the front of the vehicle, it will automatically deploy the airbags.
A fully inflated airbag in combination with a properly worn seat belt slows the driver's or the passenger's forwardmotion, thus reducing the risk of head or chest injury. After complete inflation, the airbag immediately starts deflating, enabling the driver to maintain forward visibility.
B240B01NF-GAT SRS Components and Functions
The SRS consists of the following com- ponents:
- Driver's Front Airbag Module
- Passenger's Front Airbag Module
- Knee bolster
- SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM) The SRSCM continually monitors all elements while the ignition is "ON" todetermine if a frontal or near-frontal impact is severe enough to require airbag deployment. B240B01L

o Modification to SRS components
or wiring, including the addition of any kind of badges to the padcovers or modifications to the body structure, can adversely affect SRS performance and leadto possible injury.
o For cleaning the airbag pad cov-
ers, use only a soft, dry cloth orone which has been moistened with plain water. Solvents or cleaners could adversely affectthe airbag covers and proper deployment of the system.
o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules on the steering wheel, instrumentpanel, and the front passenger's panel above the glove box, be- cause any such object couldcause harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause the airbags to inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be replaced by an authorized Hyundaidealer.

WARNING:
o Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an airbag in front of it!
o Do not install a child restraint system in the front passengerseat position.A child restraint system must never be placed in the front seat. The infant or child could be se-verely injured by an airbag de- ployment in case of an accident.
B240C01NF-GAT SRS Care The SRS is virtually maintenance-free and so there are no parts you cansafely service by yourself. If the SRS SRI (Service Reminder Indicator) does not come on, or continuously remainson, have your vehicle immediately in- spected by your Hyundai dealer. Any work on the SRS system, such as removing, installing, repairing, or any work on the steering wheel must beperformed by a qualified Hyundai tech- nician. Improper handling of the SRS system may result in serious personalinjury.
