Introduction4 1Use of MTBEWe recommend that fuels containing
MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) over
15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7%
weight) should not be used in your vehi-
cle.
Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0% vol.
(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) may
reduce vehicle performance and produce
vapor lock or hard starting.
Do not use methanolFuels containing methanol (wood alco-
hol) should not be used in your vehicle.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicle per-
formance and damage components of
the fuel system.
Gasolines for cleaner airTo help contribute to cleaner air, we rec-
ommend that you use gasolines treated
with detergent additives, which help pre-
vent deposit formation in the engine.
These gasolines will help the engine run
cleaner and enhance performance of the
Emission Control System.Operation in foreign countriesIf you are going to drive your vehicle in
another country, be sure to:
Observe all regulations regarding reg-
istration and insurance.
Determine that acceptable fuel is avail-
able.
CAUTION
Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty
may not cover damage to the fuel
system and performance problems
that are caused by the use of
methanol or fuels containing
methanol.

Introduction6 1Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with
many high technology, electronically
controlled systems that help to
ensure your vehicle operates properly
and provides the performance that
you expect. These systems utilize
computers to monitor the operation of
various systems and components and
help to control their operation. These
computerized system operations are
wide-ranging and involve components
to reduce emissions, to continuously
evaluate the readiness of the airbag
and seat belt pretensioner systems, to
determine when the airbag and seat
belt pre-tensioner systems should be
deployed and then to activate the
deployment, and if equipped, to oper-
ate anti-lock braking, traction control
and electrical stability control to
assist the driver to control the vehicle
in difficult driving situations. These
systems electronically store informa-
tion that is useful to service techni-
cians when they need to diagnose and
repair these systems.Additional information is stored only
when a crash occurs that results in
the deployment of the airbags or seat
belt pre-tensioners. This type of data
storage is done by devices called
event data recorders(EDR).
After a crash event, the airbag and
seat belt pre-tensioner computer sys-
tem, known as the Supplemental
Restraint System Control Module
(SRSCM) or Airbag Control Unit
(ACU), may record some information
about the condition of the vehicle and
how it was being operated. This infor-
mation consists of data related to seat
belt usage and if there was diagnostic
information in the airbag or seat belt
systems at the time that a crash
occurred, and if the ACU sensed that a
crash of sufficient severity occurred
to require seat belt pre-tensioner or
airbag deployment.To retrieve this information, special
equipment is needed and access to
the vehicle or the device that stores
the data is required. Hyundai will not
access information about a crash
event or share it with others except:
in response to an official request of
police or similar government office,
or
with the consent of the vehicle
owner or, if the vehicle is leased,
with the consent of the lessee, or
as part of Hyundai’s defense of liti-
gation, or
as required by law.VEHICLE DATA COLLECTION AND EVENT DATA RECORDERS

WARNING
- Driver’s seat
Never attempt to adjust seat
while the vehicle is moving. This
could result in loss of control,
and an accident causing death,
serious injury, or property dam-
age.
Do not allow anything to interfere
with the normal position of the
seatback. Storing items against a
seatback or in any other way
interfering with proper locking of
a seatback could result in serious
or fatal injury in a sudden stop or
collision.

seatback upright and the lap por-
tion of the seat belt snug and low
across the hips. This is the best
position to protect you in case of
an accident.
In order to avoid unnecessary
and perhaps severe air bag
injuries, always sit as far back as
possible from the steering wheel
while maintaining comfortable
control of the vehicle. It is recom-
mended that your chest is at least
10 inches (250 mm) away from
the steering wheel.
WARNING -
Uprighting
seat
When you return the seatback to its
upright position, hold the seatback
and return it slowly and be sure
there are no other occupants
around the seat. If the seatback is
returned without being held and
controlled, the back of the seat
could spring forward resulting in
accidental injury to a person struck
by the seatback.

WARNING
- Loose objects
Loose objects in the driver’s foot
area could interfere with the opera-
tion of the foot pedals, possibly
causing an accident. Do not place
anything under the front seats.
WARNING
After adjusting the seat, always
check that it is securely locked into
place by attempting to move the
seat forward or reverse without
using the lock release lever.
Sudden or unexpected movement
of the driver's seat could cause you
to lose control of the vehicle result-
ing in an accident.

1. Lean forward slightly and lift up on the
seatback recline lever located on the
outside of the seat at the rear.
2. Carefully lean back on the seat and
adjust the seatback of the seat to the
position you desire.
3. Release the lever and make sure the
seatback is locked in place. (The lever
MUST return to its original position for
the seatback to lock.)
Seat cushion height (for driver’s seat)To change the height of the seat cushion,
push the lever up or down located on the
outside of the seat cushion.
• To lower the seat cushion, push down
the lever several times.
To raise the seat cushion, pull up the
lever several times.

WARNING
- Driver respon-
sibility for front seat pas-
senger
Riding in a vehicle with a front seat-
back reclined could lead to serious
or fatal injury in an accident. If a
front seat is reclined during an
accident, the occupant’s hips may
slide under the lap portion of the
seat belt applying great force to the
unprotected abdomen. Serious or
fatal internal injuries could result.
The driver must advise the front
passenger to keep the seatback in
an upright position whenever the
vehicle is in motion.

Safety system of your vehicle10 3Folding the rear seatThe rear seatbacks may be folded to
facilitate carrying long items or to
increase the luggage capacity of the
vehicle.
To fold down the rear seatback:
1. Set the front seatback to the upright
position and if necessary, slide the
front seat forward.
2. Lower the rear headrests to the lowest
position.
3. Pull out the seatback locking knob in
the trunk, then fold the seat toward the
front of the vehicle.4. For center shoulder belt, insert the belt
webbing in the right side rear shoulder
belt guide to prevent the belt from
being trapped under the seat.
5. When you return the seatback to its
upright position, always be sure it has
locked into position by pushing on the
top of the seatback.
WARNING
The purpose of the fold-down rear
seatbacks is to allow you to carry
longer objects than could other-
wise be accommodated.
Never allow passengers to sit on
top of the folded down seatback
while the car is moving as this is
not a proper seating position and
no seat belts are available for use.
This could result in serious injury
or death in case of an accident or
sudden stop. Objects carried on the
folded down seatback should not
extend higher than the top of the
front seats. This could allow cargo
to slide forward and cause injury or
damage during sudden stops.

WARNING
When you return the rear seatback
to its upright position after being
folded down:
Be careful not to damage the seat
belt webbing or buckle. Do not
allow the seat belt webbing or
buckle to get caught or pinched in
the rear seat. Ensure that the seat-
back is completely locked into its
upright position by pushing on the
top of the seaback. Otherwise, in an
accident or sudden stop, the seat
could fold down and allow cargo to
enter the passenger compartment,
which could result in serious injury
or death.
OHD036124L
CAUTION
- Rear seat belts
When returning the rear seatbacks
to the upright position, remember
to return the rear center shoulder
belt to its proper position.
WARNING
- Cargo
Cargo should always be secured to
prevent it from being thrown about
the vehicle in a collision and caus-
ing injury to the vehicle occupants.
Special care should be taken of
objects placed in the rear seats,
since those may hit the front seat
occupants in a frontal collision.
WARNING -
Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the
transaxle is in P and the parking
brake is applied whenever loading
or unloading cargo. Failure to take
these steps may allow the vehicle
to move if shift lever is inadvertent-
ly moved to another position.
