CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENTWARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to operateonly one time. After activation, pre- tensioner seat belts must be replaced.All seat belts, of any type, should al-ways be replaced after they have beenworn during a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly mechanisms become hot during activa-tion. Do not touch the pre-tensionerseat belt assemblies for several min-utes 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 Hyundaiauthorised repairer.
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 anymanner.
o Improper handling of the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies, and failure to heedthe warnings to not strike, modify, in-spect, replace, service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies may leadto improper operation or inadvertentactivation and serious injury.
o Always wear the seat belts when driving or travelling in a motor vehicle.
WARNING: To obtain maximum benefit from a pre- tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn correctly.
2. The seat belt must be adjusted to the
correct position.
NOTE:
o Both the driver's and front passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts will be acti-vated in certain frontal collisions. Thepre-tensioner seat belts can be acti-vated with the airbags. The pre-tensioners will be activated under theseconditions even if the seat belts arenot being worn at the time of thecollision.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts are activated, a loud noise may be heardand fine dust, which may appear to besmoke, may be visible in the passengercompartment. These are normal operat-ing conditions and are not hazardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine dust may cause skin irritation and shouldnot be breathed for prolonged periods.Wash your hands and face thoroughlyafter an accident in which the pre-tensioner seat belts were activated.
AIR
BAG
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 willblink for approximately 6 seconds afterthe ignition key has been turned to the
"ON" position and then it should turn off.
o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not work- ing properly, this warning light will illu-minate even if there is no malfunctionof the SRS airbag system. If the SRS airbag warning light does not illuminate when the ignition key is turnedto "ON", or if it remains illuminatedafter blinking for approximately 6 sec-onds, or if it illuminates whilst thevehicle is being driven, please have anHyundai authorised repairer inspect thepre-tensioner seat belt or SRS airbagsystem as soon as possible.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
Passenger's Airbag
B240B04FC-D
Upon deployment, tear seams molded di-
rectly into the pad covers will separate under pressure from the expansion of the airbags.Further opening of the covers then allows fullinflation of the airbags.
A fully inflated airbag in combination with a
properly worn seat belt slows the driver's orthe passenger's forward motion, thus reduc-ing the risk of head or chest injury.
CAUTION: Do not install or place any accessories
(drink holder, cassette holder, sticker, etc) on the front passenger's panel above theglove box in a vehicle with passenger'sside air bag. Such objects may become When the SRSCM detects a considerable
impact to the front of the vehicle, it will auto-matically deploy the airbags.
B240B02L-D
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on the instrument panel will blink for about 6seconds after the ignition key is turned to the"ON" position or after the engine is started,after which the SRI should go out.
B240B03L-D
The airbag modules are located both in the centre of the steering wheel and in the frontpassenger's panel above the glove box.

SRS Components and Functions
B240B01L-D
The SRS consists of the following compo-
nents:
- Driver's Airbag Module
- Passenger's Airbag Module
- SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
The SRSCM continually monitors all elements
whilst the ignition is "ON" to determine if a frontal or near-frontal impact is severe enoughto require airbag deployment.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 5
SC090A03-E MANUAL TRANSAXLE
HFC3029
The five speed fully synchronized transaxle is controlled by a floor mounted shift lever upon which the shift pattern is indicated. It is impor- tant that when changing gear, the clutch pedal is fully depressed to avoid transaxle damage. CAUTION:
o Do not attempt to engage reverse gear
when the car is in motion.
o To avoid damaging the selector mecha- nism, do not use the gear shift lever as a hand rest. Release the lever immedi- ately the shift is completed.
o To avoid premature clutch wear, do not use the clutch pedal as a foot rest, anddo not hold the vehicle on a gradient using the clutch.
o Ensure that the engine is not over-revved by upshifting before the tachometerneedle enters the red zone.
o Do not coast with the shift lever at the neutral position.
o When descending long gradients, make use of the engine braking to assist thefootbrake to avoid brake fade or over- heating.
o When slippery conditions are encoun- tered, increased caution should be ex-ercised when gear changing, braking or accelerating. Abrupt changes in speed may cause a loss of traction or control of the vehicle.
o During cold weather, shifting may be difficult until the transaxle lubricant haswarmed up. This is normal and not harmful to the transaxle.
o Anticipate the road and conditions ahead
to enable adjustments in speed to be madesmoothly. Avoid heavy acceleration and sharp braking.
o Avoid cruising at unnecessary high speeds.
o Always ensure that the periodic mainte- nance services are performed by aHyundai authorised repairer at the time and/or mileage intervals specified.
o Use the air conditioning only when neces- sary.
o If you 've come to a complete stop and
it's hard to shift into 1 st
or R(Reverse),
put the shift lever in N(Neutral) posi- tion and release the clutch. Press the clutch pedal back down, and then shift into 1 st
or R(Reverse) gear position.
o Do not use the shift lever as a handrest during driving, as this can result inpremature wear of the transaxle shift forks.
WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lanechanges or fast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts. In a collision crash, an unbelted per- son is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seatbelt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly increased
if you lose control of your vehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or
more wheels drop off the roadway andthe driver oversteers to reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the roadway, do not steer sharply. Instead,slow down before pulling back into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed limits.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
3-8
SD070K1-E AFTER CHANGING WHEELS The pressure of the spare tyre should be checked at the first available opportunity. If any doubt exists as to the tyre pressure, the vehicle should be driven slowly to the nearest service station and the tyre pressure checked and adjusted as required. If the valve cap is lost from any of the valves, a replacement should be obtained and fitted at the first available opportunity. The valve cap prevents the ingress of dirt which may cause the valve to stick and therefore leak and is part of the valve sealing function. Ensure that the spare wheel, jack and wheel nut wrench as well tools are correctly located in the boot of the vehicle to prevent damage and noise.
