WARNING:
o If you sell your vehicle, make certain that
this manual is transferred to the new
owner.
o If your car was flooded and has soaked
carpeting or water on the floor, you
shouldn't try to start the engine; have
the car towed to an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
B240D01JM-AATAdditional Safety PrecautionsoNever let passengers ride in the cargo
area (trunk) or on top of a folded-down
back seat. All occupants should sit upright,
fully back in their seats with their seat belts
on and their feet on the floor.
oPassengers should not move out of or
change seats while the vehicle is mov-
ing. A passenger who is not wearing a seat
belt during a crash or emergency stop can
be thrown against the inside of the vehicle,
against other occupants, or out of the ve-
hicle.
oEach seat belt is designed to restrain one
occupant. If more than one person uses the
same seat belt, they could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision.
oDo not use any accessories on seat
belts. Devices claiming to improve occu-
pant comfort or reposition the seat belt can
reduce the protection provided by the seat
belt and increase the chance of serious
injury in a crash.
oPassengers should not place hard or
sharp objects between themselves and
the airbags. Carrying hard or sharp objects
on your lap or in your mouth can result in
injuries if an airbag inflates.oKeep occupants away from the airbag
covers. All occupants should sit upright, fully
back in their seats with their seat belts on and
their feet on the floor. If occupants are too
close to the airbag covers, they could be
injured if the airbags inflate.
oDo not attach or place objects on or near
the airbag covers. Any object attached to
or placed on the front or side impact airbag
covers could interfere with the proper opera-
tion of the airbags.
oDo not modify the front seats. Modifica-
tion of the front seats could interfere with the
operation of the supplemental restraint sys-
tem sensing components or side impact
airbags.
oDo not place items under the front seats.
Placing items under the front seats could
interfere with the operation of the supple-
mental restraint system sensing compo-
nents and wiring harnesses.
oNever hold an infant or child on your lap.
The infant or child could be seriously injured
or killed in the event of a crash. All infants and
children should be properly restrained in
appropriate child safety seats or seat belts
in the rear seat.

WARNING:
o If you open the fuel filler cap during high
ambient temperatures, a slight "pres-
sure sound" may be heard. This is nor-
mal and not a cause for concern.
Whenever you open the fuel filler cap,
turn it slowly.
o Make sure the fuel filler cap is replaced
and securely seated after fueling. Failure
to replace or fully seat the fuel filler cap
will result in fuel vapors escaping into
the atmosphere and the MIL indicator
illuminating.
o Do not "TOP-OFF" after the first nozzle
shut off when refueling.
o Automotive fuels are flammable/explo-
sive materials. When refueling, please
note the following guidelines carefully.
o Before touching the fuel nozzle or fuel
filler cap, have one's hands in contact
with metal parts away from the filler neck
to discharge static electricity.
o Do not get back in the vehicle while
refueling. Do not operate anything that
can produce static electricity. Static elec-
tricity discharge can ignite fuel vapors
resulting in explosion.

WARNING:
o When using a portable fuel container be
sure to place the container on the ground
while refueling. Static electricity dis-
charge from the container can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire. While starting re-
fueling contact should be maintained
until the filling is complete.
o Do not use cellular phones around a gas
station. The electric current or electronic
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.
