severely injured or killed by an airbag deployment in case of an accident.
o Do not allow children to ride in the
front passenger seat. If older chil-dren (teenagers and older) must ride in the front seat, make surethey are always properly belted and that the seat is moved back as far as possible.
o For maximum safety protection in all types of crashes, all occupantsincluding the driver should alwayswear their seat belts whether or not an airbag is also provided at their seating position to minimizethe risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash. Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to theairbag while the vehicle is in mo- tion.
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 notwearing a seat belt, the airbag may forcefully contact the occupant causing serious or fatal injuries. The SRS consists of the following com-ponents:
- Driver's Airbag Module
- Passenger's Front Airbag Module
- SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
The SRSCM continually monitors allelements while the ignition is "ON" todetermine if a frontal or near-frontal impact is severe enough to require airbag deployment. B240B01MC-GAT SRS Components and Functions
B240B01L
o The driver should sit back as far as
possible while still maintaining control of the vehicle. If you aresitting too close to the airbag, it can cause death or serious injury when it inflates.
o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules on thesteering wheel, instrument panel,and the front passenger's panel above the glove box, because any such object could cause harmif the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause the airbags to deploy.
o If the airbags deploy, they must be replaced by an authorized Hyundaidealer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS wiring, or other componentsof the SRS system. Doing socould result in injury, due to acci- dental firing of the airbags or by rendering the SRS inoperative.
o Do not install a child restraint sys- tem in the front passenger seatposition. A child restraint systemmust never be placed in the front seat. The infant or child could be

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 lead to possibleinjury.
o For cleaning the airbag pad cov-
ers, use only a soft, dry cloth orone which has been moistened with plain water. Solvents or clean- ers could adversely affect theairbag covers and proper deploy- ment of the system.
o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules on the steering wheel, instrument panel,and the front passenger's panel above the glove box, because any such object could cause harm ifthe 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.o Do not tamper with or disconnect
SRS wiring, or other components of the SRS system. Doing so could result in injury, due to accidentalfiring of the airbags or by render- ing the SRS inoperative.
o If components of the airbag sys- tem must be discarded, or if thevehicle must be scrapped, certain safety precautions must be ob-served. Your Hyundai dealer knows these precautions and can give you the necessary informa-tion. Failure to follow these pre- cautions and procedures could increase the risk of personal in-jury.
o If you sell your vehicle, make cer-
tain that this manual is transferredto the new owner.
o If your car was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or water on floor-ing, you shouldn't try to start en- gine; have the car towed to autho- rized Hyundai dealer.

chains on the tire will provide a greater driving force, but will not prevent sideskids. NOTE: Tire chains are not legal in all prov- inces. Check province laws beforefitting tire chains. C160C01A-AAT Use High Quality Ethylene Glycol Coolant Your Hyundai is delivered with high quality ethylene glycol coolant in the cooling system. It is the only type ofcoolant that should be used because it helps prevent corrosion in the cooling system, lubricates the water pump andprevents freezing. Be sure to replace or replenish your coolant in accor- dance with the maintenance schedule CAUTION:
Don't use the tire chains in 185/55R15 tire to prevent body damage.
! C160G01A-GAT To Keep Locks from Freezing To keep the locks from freezing, squirt an approved de-icer fluid or glycerine into the key opening. If a lock is cov- ered with ice, squirt it with an approvedde-icing fluid to remove the ice. If the lock is frozen internally, you may be able to thaw it out by using a heatedkey. Handle the heated key with care to avoid injury. 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) to open the frozen lock, it may cause damage to the transpon- der in its head.
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.
C160D01A-AAT Check Battery and Cables Winter puts additional burdens on the battery system. Visually inspect the battery and cables as described inSection 6. The level of charge in your battery can be checked by your Hyun- dai dealer or a service station. 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. SeeSection 9 for recommendations. If you aren't sure what weight oil you should use, consult your Hyundai dealer.
in Section 5. Before winter, have yourcoolant tested to assure that its freez-ing point is sufficient for the tempera- tures anticipated during the winter.

!!
SPARE TIRE
WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30 sec- onds after shutting off engine. High pressure pump, rail, injectors andhigh pressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the engine stopped. The fuel jet produced byfuel leaks may cause serious in- jury, if it touch the body. People using pacemakers should not movethan 30cm closer to the ECU or wiring harness within the engine room while engine is running, sincethe high currents in the Common Rail system produce considerable magnetic fields. WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap whenthe engine is hot. This can allowcoolant to be blown out of the open- ing and cause serious burns.
6. If you cannot find the cause of the overheating, wait until the engine temperature has returned to nor-mal. Then, if the engine coolant has been lost, carefully add coolant to the reservoir (Page 6-14) to bringthe fluid level in the reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert
for further signs of overheating. Ifoverheating happens again, call a Hyundai dealer for assistance.

5. If the water pump drive belt is bro-
ken or coolant is leaking out, stop the engine immediately and call the nearest Hyundai dealer for assis- tance. D040A03A-GAT The following instructions for the FULL SIZE spare tire should be observed: Check inflation pressure as soon as practical after installing the spare tire, and adjust to the specified pressure. The tire pressure should be periodi-cally checked and maintained at the specified pressure while the tire is stored.

EXPLANATION OF SCHED- ULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS
F060A01A-AAT F060M01A-AAT
o Engine Oil and Filter The engine oil and filter should be changed at the intervals specified in the maintenance schedule. If the caris being driven in severe conditions, more frequent oil and filter changes are required. F060B01A-AAT
o Drive Belts Inspect all drive belts for evidence of cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil saturation and replace if necessary.Drive belts should be checked period- ically for proper tension and adjusted as necessary. After installing a new filter, run the
engine for several minutes, and checkfor leaks at the connections. Fuel fil- ters should be installed by trained technicians.
F060D01TB-GAT
o Fuel Lines, Fuel Hoses and
Connections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections for leakage and damage.Have a trained technician replace anydamaged or leaking parts immedi- ately. F060E01A-AAT
o Timing Belt
Inspect all parts related to the timingbelt for damage and deformation. Replace any damaged parts immedi-ately. F060G01A-AAT
o Vapor Hose and Fuel Filler Cap
The vapor hose and fuel filler cap should be inspected at those intervalsspecified in the maintenance sched- ule. Make sure that a new vapor hose or fuel filler cap is correctly replaced.
F060C01A-AAT
o Fuel Filter A clogged filter can limit the speed at which the vehicle may be driven, dam-age the emission system and cause hard starting. If an excessive amount of foreign matter accumulates in thefuel tank, the filter may require re- placement more frequently. WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system with
engine running or within 30 sec- onds after shutting off engine. Highpressure pump, rail, injectors and high pressure pipes are subjected to high pressure even after the en-gine has been switched off. The fuel jet produced by fuel leaks may cause serious injury, if it contactswith the body. People using pace- makers should not move closer than 30cm to the ECU or wiring harness within the engine room with the engine running, since the high currents in the Common Rail sys-tem produce considerable magnetic fields.

3. If the transaxle fluid level is low, use
a funnel to add transaxle fluid through the dipstick tube until the levelreaches the "HOT" range. Do not overfill.
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by en- gine coolant temperature and maysometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the bladesof the cooling fan, so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant temperature decreas-es, the fan will automatically shut off. This is a normal condition.
1. Open the hood, being careful to keep
hands, long hair and clothing clear of any moving parts. WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system withengine running or within 30 seconds after shutting off engine. High pres- sure pump, rail, injectors and highpressure pipes are subjected to high pressure even after the engine has been switched off. The fuel jet pro-duced by fuel leaks may cause seri- ous injury, if it contacts with the body. People using pacemakersshould not move closer than 30cm to the ECU or wiring harness within the engine room with the engine run-ning, since the high currents in the Common Rail system produce con- siderable magnetic fields.
