FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

!
B090A01Y-AATPOWER DRIVER'S SEAT (If Installed)The driver's seat can be adjusted by using the
control knobs on the left side of the seat. Before
driving, adjust the seat to the proper position so
as to easily control the steering wheel, pedals
and switches on the instrument panel.
CAUTION:
Do not operate two knobs at the same time.
WARNING:
o Never attempt to adjust the seat while
the vehicle is moving. This could result
in loss of control or an accident causing
death, serious injury, or property dam-
age.
o Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to
the airbag.
!
B080F01NF-GATSeat Height Adjustment

POWER ADJUSTABLE PEDALS
!
C090N03O-AATGood Driving Practiceso Never move the gear selector lever from "P"
or "N" to any other position with the accelera-
tor pedal depressed.
o Never move the gear selector lever into "P"
when the vehicle is in motion.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped before
you attempt to shift into "R".
o Never take the car out of gear and coast
down a hill. This may be extremely hazard-
ous. Always leave the car in gear when
moving.
o Do not "ride" the brakes. This can cause
them to overheat and malfunction. Instead,
when you are driving down a long hill, slow
down and shift to a lower gear. When you do
this, engine braking will help slow the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear.
Otherwise, the lower gear may not be en-
gaged.
o Always use the parking brake. Do not de-
pend on placing the transaxle in "P" to keep
the car from moving.
o Exercise extreme caution when driving on a
slippery surface. Be especially careful when
braking, accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change in ve-
hicle speed can cause the drive wheels to
lose traction and the vehicle to go out of
control.
WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel move-
ments, such as sharp lane changes or
fast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts.
In a collision, an unbelted person is
significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly increased if
you lose control of your vehicle at high-
way speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or
more wheels drop off the roadway and
the driver oversteers to reenter the road-
way.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the road-
way, do not steer sharply. Instead, slow
down before pulling back into the travel
lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed limits.
o Excessive depressing of the accelerater
pedal in slippery driving conditions such
as pulling out of deep snow or mud may
cause severe damage to the transaxle.
Rocking the vehicle is not recommended.
Rather, use an appropriate towing
method.
C100A01NF-AAT(With Automatic Transaxle) (If Installed)To adjust the position of the accelerator and
brake pedals, turn the ignition key to the "ON"
position with the selector lever in the "P" position
and push the switch.
If you push the " " portion of the switch, the
pedals move rearward.
If you push the " " portion of the switch, the
pedals move forward.
