o The driver should sit back as far as
possible while still maintaining control of the vehicle. If you are sitting too close to the airbag, itcan cause death or serious injury when it inflates.
o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules onthe steering wheel, instrument panel, and the front passenger'spanel above the glove box, because any such object could cause harm if the vehicle is in acrash severe enough to cause the airbags to deploy.
o If the airbags deploy, they must be replaced by an authorizedHyundai dealer.
o Do not tamper with or discon- nect SRS wiring, or other com-ponents of the SRS system. Do- ing so could result in injury, dueto accidental firing of the airbags or by rendering the SRS inopera- tive. o Do not install a child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger seat position. A child restraint system must never be placed in the frontseat. The infant or child could be severely injured or killed by an airbag deployment in case of anaccident.
o Do not allow children to ride in
the front passenger seat. If olderchildren (teenagers and older) must ride in the front seat, make sure they are always properlybelted and that the seat is moved back as far as possible.
o For maximum safety protection in all types of crashes, all occu-pants including the driver should always wear their seat belts tominimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash. Do not sit or lean unnecessarilyclose to the airbag while the ve- hicle is in motion. o The SRS airbag system must de-
ploy very rapidly to provide pro- tection in a crash. If an occupant is out of position because of not wearing a seat belt, the airbagmay forcefully contact the occu- pant causing serious or fatal in- juries.

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.

C160G01A-GAT To Keep Locks from Freezing To keep the locks from freezing, squirt an approved de-icer fluid or glycerineinto the key opening. If a lock is cov- ered with ice, squirt it with an approved de-icing fluid to remove the ice. If thelock is frozen internally, you may be able to thaw it out by using a heated key. Handle the heated key with careto avoid burning your fingers. NOTE: The proper temperature for using the immobilizer key is from -40°C (- 40°F) to 80°C (176°F). If you heat the immobilizer key over 80°C (176°F) toopen the frozen lock, it may cause damage to the transponder in its head.
C160D01A-AAT Check Battery and Cables Winter puts additional burdens on the battery system. Visually inspect thebattery and cables as described in Section 6. The level of charge in your battery can be checked by your Hyundaidealer or a service station.
C160F01A-AAT Check Spark Plugs and Ignition System Inspect your spark plugs as described in Section 6 and replace them if neces-sary. Also check all ignition wiring and components to be sure they are not cracked, worn or damaged in any way.
C160E01A-AAT Change to "Winter Weight" Oil if Necessary In some climates it is recommended that a lower viscosity "winter weight" oil be used during cold weather. See Section 9 for recommendations. If youaren't sure what weight oil you should use, consult your Hyundai dealer.
C160H01A-AAT Use Approved Anti-Freeze in Window Washer System To keep the water in the window washer system from freezing, add an approvedanti-freeze solution in accordance with instructions on the container. Window washer anti-freeze is available fromHyundai dealers and most auto parts outlets. Do not use engine coolant or other types of anti-freeze as thesemay damage the finish.

E040E01A-AAT Cleaning the Windows You may use any household window cleaner on the windows. However, when cleaning the inside of the rear window be careful not to damage therear window defroster wiring.
E040C01A-AAT Cleaning the Carpets Use a foam-type carpet cleaner. Clean- ers of this type are available in aerosol cans in liquid form or powder. Read theinstructions and follow them exactly. Using a vacuum cleaner with the ap- propriate attachment, remove as muchdirt from the carpets as possible. Apply the foam following the manufacturer's directions, then rub in overlappingcircles. Do not add water. These clean- ers work best when the carpet is kept as dry as possible.
E040B01A-AAT To Clean the Leather Upholstery (If Installed) In the normal course of use, leather upholstered surfaces will, like anymaterial, pick-up dust and dirt. This dust and dirt must be cleaned off or it may work into the surface of the leather,causing damage. Fine leather needs care, and should be cleaned when necessary. Washing leather thoroughly with soap and water will keep your leather lustrous, beauti-ful and ensure you have many years of wear. Take a piece of cheese cloth and usingany mild soap and lukewarm water, work up a good lather. Thoroughly wash the leather. Wipe clean with aslightly damp cloth and dry with soft cloth. Do this as often as the leather becomes soiled. During tanning operations, sufficient oils are incorporated through process-ing that none need be applied during the life of the leather. Oil applied to the finished surface will in no way help the leather and may do more harm thangood. Varnishes and furniture polishesshould never be used under any con- ditions.
E040D01A-AAT Cleaning the Seat Belts To clean the seat belts, use a cloth or sponge with mild soap or detergentand warm water. Do not use strong detergents, dye, bleach or abrasive materials on the seat belts as this mayweaken the fabric. While cleaning the belts, inspect them for excessive wear, cuts, fraying orother signs of damage and replace them if necessary.

Drive belts should be checked periodi-
cally for proper tension. At the same time, belts should be examined forcracks, wear, fraying or other evidence of deterioration and replaced if neces- sary.
When a new belt is replaced, the belt
should be located within the pulley offlat idler. Belt routing should also be checked
to be sure there is no interferencebetween the belts and other parts of the engine.
NOTE: Drive belt tension is adjusted auto-
matically by the auto tensioner. CHECKING DRIVE BELTS

Replacing a Fusible Link
A fusible link will melt if the electrical circuits from the battery are ever over- loaded, thus preventing damage to the entire wiring harness. (This couldbe caused by a short in the system drawing too much current.) If this ever happens, have a Hyundai dealerdetermine the cause, repair the sys- tem and replace the fusible link. The fusible links are located in a relay boxfor easy inspection. HNF4004
