B990B04Y-EAT Side Impact Airbag (Not all models) Your Hyundai is equipped with a side impact airbag in each front seat. The purpose of the airbag is to provide thevehicle's driver and/or the front passen- ger with additional protection than that offered by the seat belt alone. The sideimpact airbags are designed to deploy only during certain side impact colli- sions, depending on the crash severity,angle, speed and point of impact. The side impact air bags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations. B990B02Y-Do The SRS can function only when
the ignition key is in the "ON" position. If the SRS SRI does not come on, or continuously remains on, after flashing for about 6 sec-onds when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, or after the engine is started, or comeson whilst driving, the SRS is not working properly. If this occurs, have your vehicle immediately in-spected by your Hyundai dealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or dis-
connect a battery terminal, turnthe ignition key to the "LOCK" position or remove the ignition key. Never remove or replace theair bag related fuse(s) when the ignition key is in the "ON" posi- tion. Failure to heed this warningwill cause the SRS SRI to illumi- nate.
!WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there may be a loud noise and fine dust will be released throughout the vehicle. These conditions are nor-mal and are not hazardous. How- ever, the fine dust generated dur- ing airbag deployment may causeskin irritation. Be sure to wash your hands and face thoroughly with lukewarm water and a mildsoap after an accident in which the airbags were deployed.

Diesel Pre-heat Indicator Light(Diesel Engine)
The indicator light illuminates amber when the ignition switch is placed at the "ON" position. The engine can bestarted after the pre-heat indicator light goes off. The illuminating time varies with the water temperature, air tem-perature and battery condition. NOTE: If the engine were not started within 10 seconds after the preheating is completed, turn the ignition key once more to the "LOCK" position, andthen to the "ON" position, in order to preheat again.
B260U01TB-EAT Immobilizer Warning Indicator Light
This indicator light comes on for some seconds after the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position. At this time, youcan start the engine. The light goes out after the engine is running. In case this light goes out before you start the en-gine, you must turn to the "LOCK" position and restart the engine. In case this light blinks for five seconds whenthe ignition key is turned to "ON" posi- tion, this indicates that the immobilizer system is out of order. At this time,consult to the Hyundai dealer.
B900A01A-GAT ACOUSTIC WARNING SOUND The acoustic warning chime sounds when the tail lights are on and the door in driver side is open. This prevents the battery from discharging when the caris left with the tail lights on. The chime sounds until the tail lights are turned off.
B265A01B-GAT Fuel Filter Warning Light (Diesel Engine)
This light illuminates when the ignition switch is set to the "ON" position and goes off after the engine has started. If it lights up while the engine is running,
the "ON" position, take your car to your nearest authorized Hyundai dealer andhave the system checked. it indicates that water has accumulatedinside the fuel filter. If this happens,remove the water from the fuel filter. (Refer to "6-26 page") SB210S1-E BRAKE PAD WEAR INDICATOR The front brake disc pads are fitted with an audible wear indicator which will cause a high pitched noise to be emit- ted when the remaining amount of fric-tion lining is below the specified value. When the wear indicator is heard, the brake pads should be replaced withoutdelay to avoid damage occurring to the brake discs and a severe reduction in braking efficiency.

o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging is driving too slowly in too high a gear resulting in the engine bucking. If this happens to you, shift to a lower gear. Over-revving isracing the engine beyond its safe limit. This can be avoided by shifting at the recommended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air conditioning system is oper-ated by the engine power so yourfuel economy is reduced when you use it. C150A01A-EAT Avoid braking or gear changing in cor- ners, especially when roads are wet. Ideally, corners should always be taken under gentle acceleration. If you followthese suggestions, tyre wear will be held to a minimum.
SC170A1-E The onset of winter conditions subject motor vehicles to greater operating demands. Therefore, the following suggestions will assist in maintainingpeak performance and reliability dur- ing these periods: ZC170B1-E Electrical System Winter conditions impose severe de- mands upon vehicle electrical systems, particularly the charging circuit. Thebattery condition and performance along with the alternator performance and drive belt condition should bechecked prior to the onset of winter.

SD020B1-E If The Engine Cannot Be Cranked
1. If the vehicle is fitted with manual
transaxle, ensure that the clutch pedal is depressed whilst cranking the engine. If the vehicle is fittedwith automatic transaxle, ensure that the transaxle selector is at the "P" or"N" position.
2. Check the battery terminals and connections to ensure that theseare clean and also tight.
SD020A1-E Seek assistance from the nearest Hyundai dealer with regard to themethod of ignition and fuel system diagnosis.
WARNING:
If the engine refuses to start, no attempt should be made to push or tow start the vehicle. Vehicles with automatic transaxle or fuel injec-tion will not be able to be started in this manner since no drive is trans- mitted through the automatictransaxle whilst the engine is not running, and in the case of fuel injected derivatives, the fuel pumpwill not operate under tow start conditions. In addition, if the ve- hicle is equipped with an exhaustcatalyst, damage to the catalyst may result if the vehicle is tow started. 3. If the ignition warning lights dim
when the engine is cranked and the battery terminals have been checked, a discharged battery is indicated.
4. Do not attempt to push or tow start the vehicle, refer to "Jump Starting"for information regarding enginestarting when the battery is dis- charged.

!WARNING:
Motor vehicle batteries contain sulphuric acid and emit hydrogen gas. Protective clothing should beworn and care exercised to prevent the acid from coming into contact with skin or clothing and the ve-hicle. Naked lights should not be permitted in the vicinity of the bat- tery. Care should be exercised toprevent sparks occurring during connection. If acid accidentally comes into contact with skin oreyes, the affected area should im- mediately be flushed with copious amounts of water and medical as-sistance sought. 1. Ensure that the booster battery is
12 volt type. If the booster battery isinstalled in another vehicle, ensure that the two vehicles are not touch- ing.
2. Turn off all unnecessary electrical equipment in both vehicles.
3. Ensure that the engine of the ve- hicle providing the jump start is run- ning prior to connection of the jump cables.
4. Connect the red jump cable to the positive (+) terminal of the boosterbattery and the other end to thepositive (+) terminal of the dis- charged battery.
5. Attach the black jump cable to the
negative (-) terminal of the boosterbattery, and the other end to a ground point within the engine compart-ment of the vehicle with the flat battery. Do not connect to the nega- tive battery terminal of the flat bat-tery since sparks may be generated with the subsequent risk of explo- sion.
6. Raise the booster vehicle engine speed to 2,000 r.p.m. and start theengine of the vehicle with the flatbattery.
