HYUNDAI
B010F01A-AATOperation in Foreign CountriesIf you are going to drive your Hyundai in
another country, be sure to:
o Observe all regulations regarding reg-
istration and insurance.
o Determine that acceptable fuel is avail-
able.B010E01A-AATGasolines for Cleaner AirTo help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai
recommends that you use gasolines
treated with detergent additives, which
help prevent deposit formation in the en-
gine. These gasolines will help the engine
run cleaner and enhance performance of
the Emission Control System.
B020A01TG-AATDuring the First 1,200 Miles (2,000
Km)No formal "break-in" procedure is required
with your new Hyundai. However, you can
contribute to the economical operation
and durability of your Hyundai by observ-
ing the following recommendations dur-
ing the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km).
o Don't drive faster than 55 MPH (88 km/
h).
o While driving, keep your engine speed
(rpm, or revolutions per minute) be-
tween 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.
o Use moderate acceleration. Don't start
quickly or depress the accelerator pedal
fully.
o For the first 200 miles (300 km), try to
avoid hard stops.
o Whether going fast or slow, vary your
speed from time to time.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than 3
minutes at one time.
o Don't tow a trailer during the first 1,200
miles (2,000 km) of operation.

2) Sub key
Similar to the master key, this key will
only function in the ignition and the door
locks, but it will not operate the trunk and
the glove box. One side of the key has
the Hyundai logo and the other side has
an "S" symbol.
Leaving your sub key with a parking
attendant will ensure that your vehicle's
trunk, trunk lid release, glove box com-
partment and rear trunk access may not
be unlocked in your absence.
CAUTION:
o If you make your own duplicate key,
you will not be able to cancel the sys-
tem or start the engine.
o When starting the engine, do not use
the key with other immobilizer keys in
close proximity; otherwise, the en-
gine may not start or may stop soon
after it starts.
Keep each key separated from one
another.
B031A01TG-AATBefore leaving sub key with parking
attendantWhen leaving the sub key with a parking
attendant, the following procedures will
ensure that your vehicle's trunk and glove
box can not be unlocked in your absence.
1. Unlock the glove box with the master
key and open it.
2. Set the trunk lid control button in the
glove box to the "OFF" position (not
depressed). In the "OFF" position, the
trunk can not be unlocked with either

WARNING AND INDICATOR LIGHTSB260D01A-AAT
Turn Signal Indicator Lights
The blinking green arrows on the instru-
ment panel show the direction indicated
by the turn signals. If the arrow comes on
but does not blink, blinks more rapidly than
normal, or does not illuminate at all, a
malfunction in the turn signal system is
indicated. Your dealer should be consulted
for repairs.B260F01A-AAT
High Beam Indicator Light
The high beam indicator light comes on
whenever the headlights are switched to
the high beam or flash position.
B260G01TG-AAT
Low Oil Pressure Warning
Light
CAUTION:
If the low oil pressure warning light stays
on while the engine is running, serious
engine damage may result. The oil pres-
sure warning light comes on whenever
there is insufficient oil pressure. In nor-
mal operation, it should come on when
the ignition switch is turned on, then go
out when the engine is started. If the oil
pressure warning light stays on while
the engine is running, there is a serious
malfunction.
If this happens, stop the car as soon as
it is safe to do so, turn off the engine and
check the oil level. If the oil level is low,
fill the engine oil to the proper level and
start the engine again. If the light stays
on with the engine running, turn the en-
gine off immediately. In any instance
where the oil light stays on when the
engine is running, the engine should be
checked by a Hyundai dealer before the
car is driven again.
!
If your vehicle is equipped with the super-
vision type cluster, the warning text is dis-
played above the odometer. The warning
text comes on for about 20 seconds. If you
push the RESET button behind the steer-
ing wheel, the warning text will go out.

B260H02A-AAT
Parking Brake/Low Brake
Fluid Level Warning Light
Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-di-
agonal braking systems. This means you
still have braking on two wheels even if
one of the dual systems should fail. With
only one of the dual systems working,
more than normal pedal travel and greater
pedal pressure are required to stop the
car. Also, the car will not stop in as short a
distance with only half of the brake system
working. If the brakes fail while you are
driving, shift to a lower gear for additional
engine braking and stop the car as soon as
it is safe to do so.
WARNING:
If you suspect brake trouble, have your
brakes checked by a Hyundai dealer as
soon as possible. Driving your car with
a problem in either the brake electrical
system or brake hydraulic system is
dangerous, and could result in a serious
injury or death.
Warning Light OperationThe parking brake/brake fluid level warn-
ing light should come on when the parking
brake is applied and the ignition switch is
turned to "ON" or "START". After the engine
is started, the light should go out when the
parking brake is released.
If the parking brake is not applied, the
warning light should come on when the
ignition switch is turned to "ON" or "START",
then go out when the engine starts. If the
light comes on at any other time, you should
slow the vehicle and bring it to a complete
stop in a safe location off the roadway.
The brake fluid level warning light indi-
cates that the brake fluid level in the brake
master cylinder is low and hydraulic brake
fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 speci-
fications should be added. After adding
fluid, if no other trouble is found, the car
should be immediately and carefully driven
to a Hyundai dealer for inspection. If further
trouble is experienced, the vehicle should
not be driven at all but taken to a dealer by
a professional towing service.

SRS (Airbag) Warning Light
The SRS warning light comes on for ap-
proximately 6 seconds after the key is
turned to the "ON" position or after the
engine is started, after which it will go out.
This light also comes on when the SRS is
not working properly. If the AIRBAG warn-
ing light does not come on, or continuously
remains on after operating for about 6
seconds when you turned the ignition key
to the "ON" position or started the engine,
or if it comes on while driving, have the
SRS inspected by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
If your vehicle is equipped with the super-
vision type cluster, the warning text is dis-
played above the odometer. The warning
text comes on for about 20 seconds. If you
push the RESET button behind the steer-
ing wheel, the warning text will go out.
B260P01TG B260P01TG-GAT
ABS Service Reminder
Indicator (SRI) (If Installed)
When the key is turned to the "ON" position,
the Anti-Lock Brake System indicator will
come on and then go off in a few seconds.
If the ABS SRI remains on, comes on while
driving, or does not come on when the key
is turned to the "ON" position, this indicates
that there may be a problem with the ABS.
If this occurs, have your vehicle checked
by your Hyundai dealer as soon as pos-
sible. The normal braking system will still
be operational, but without the assistance
of the anti-lock brake system.
!
WARNING:
If both the ABS SRI and Parking Brake/
Brake fluid level warning lights remain
"ON" or come on while driving, there
may be a problem with E.B.D. (Electronic
Brake Force Distribution).
If this occurs, avoid sudden stops and
have your vehicle checked by your
Hyundai dealer as soon as possible.

HAZARD WARNING SYS-
TEMB370A01A-AATThe hazard warning system should be
used whenever you find it necessary to
stop the car in a hazardous location. When
you must make such an emergency stop,
always pull off the road as far as possible.
The hazard warning lights are turned on by
pushing in the hazard switch. This causes
all turn signal lights to blink. The hazard
warning lights will operate even though
the key is not in the ignition.
