FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
CAUTION:
Your Hyundai's New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty may not cover damage to the fuel
system and any performance problems
that are caused by the use of fuels con-
taining methanol or fuels containing
MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) over
15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight.)
B010B01A-AATWhat About Gasohol?Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gaso-
line and 10% ethanol or grain alcohol)
may be used in your Hyundai. However, if
your engine develops driveability prob-
lems, the use of 100% unleaded gasoline
is recommended. Fuels with unspecified
quantities of alcohol, or alcohols other
than ethanol, should not be used.
B010A01CM-AATUse Unleaded GasolineUnleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane
Rating of 87(Research Octane Number
91) or Higher must be used. For im-
proved vehicle Performance, premium
unleaded gasoline with Pump Octane
Rating of 91(RON 95) or higher is recom-
mended.
B010C01A-AATUse of MTBEHyundai recommends that fuels contain-
ing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether)
over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7%
weight) should not be used in your
Hyundai.
Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0% vol.
(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) may re-
duce vehicle performance and produce
vapor lock or hard starting.B010D01A-AATDo Not Use MethanolFuels containing methanol (wood alco-
hol) should not be used in your Hyundai.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicle perfor-
mance and damage components of the
fuel system.

B080C03A-AATAdjusting Seatback AngleTo recline the seatback, lean forward to
take your weight off it, then pull up on the
recliner control lever at the outside edge of
the seat. Now lean back until the desired
seatback angle is achieved. To lock the
seatback into position, release the recliner
control lever.
!
WARNING:
Riding with a reclined seatback in-
creases your chance of serious or fatal
injuries in the event of a collision or
sudden stop. The protection of your re-
straint system (seat belts and air bags)
is greatly reduced by reclining your seat.
Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly. The
more the seatback is reclined, the greater
the chance that an occupant's hips will
slide under the lap belt or the occupant's
neck will strike the shoulder belt. Driv-
ers and passengers should always sit
well back in their seats, properly belted,
and with the seatbacks upright.
!
WARNING:
After adjusting the seat, always check
that it is securely locked into place by
attempting to move the seat forward or
rearward without using the lock release
lever. Sudden or unexpected move-
ment of the driver's seat could cause
you to lose control of the vehicle result-
ing in an accident.

SEAT BELTS
B150B04Y-AATInfant or Small ChildAll 50 states have child restraint laws. You
should be aware of the specific require-
ments in your state. Child and/or infant
safety seats must be properly placed and
installed in the rear seat. Information about
the use of these restraints begins on page
1-33.
!
B150A03S-AATSeat Belt Precautions
WARNING:All occupants of the vehicle must wear
their seat belts at all times. Seat belts
and child restraints reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injuries for all occupants
in the event of a collision or sudden stop.
Without a seat belt, occupants could be
shifted too close to a deploying air bag,
strike the interior structure or be thrown
from the vehicle. Properly worn seat
belts greatly reduce these hazards. Even
with advanced air bags, unbelted occu-
pants can be severely injured by a de-
ploying air bag. Always follow the pre-
cautions about seat belts, air bags and
occupant safety contained in this
manual.
!
WARNING:
Every person in your vehicle needs to be
properly restrained at all times, includ-
ing infants and children. Never hold a
child in your arms or lap when riding in a
vehicle. The violent forces created dur-
ing a crash will tear the child from your
arms and throw the child against the
interior. Always use a child restraint
appropriate for your child's height and
weight.

B150E01A-AATInjured PersonA seat belt should be used when an injured
person is being transported. When this is
necessary, you should consult a physician
for recommendations.B150F01A-AATOne Person Per BeltTwo people (including children) should
never attempt to use a single seat belt. This
could increase the severity of injuries in
case of an accident.
B150C02A-AATLarger ChildrenChildren who are too large for child re-
straint systems should always occupy the
rear seat and use the available lap/shoul-
der belts. The lap portion should be fas-
tened snug on the hips and as low as
possible. Check belt fit periodically. A
child's squirming could put the belt out of
position. Children are afforded the most
safety in the event of an accident when
they are restrained by a proper restraint
system in the rear seat. If a larger child
(over age 13) must be seated in the front
seat, the child should be securely re-
strained by the available lap/shoulder belt
and the seat should be placed in the
rearmost position. Children under the age
of 13 should be restrained securely in the
rear seat. NEVER place a child under the
age of 13 in the front seat. NEVER place a
rear facing child seat in the front seat of a
vehicle.
B150D01A-AATPregnant WomenThe use of a seat belt is recommended for
pregnant women to lessen the chance of
injury in an accident. When a seat belt is
used, the lap belt portion should be placed
as low and snugly as possible on the hips,
not across the abdomen. For specific rec-
ommendations, consult a physician.
NOTE:Small children are best protected from
injury in an accident when properly re-
strained in the rear seat by a child re-
straint system that meets the require-
ments of the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards. Before buying any
child restraint system, make sure that it
has a label certifying that it meets Fed-
eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
The restraint must be appropriate for
your child's height and weight. Check
the label on the child restraint for this
information. See page 1-33.

When an adult is seated in the front pas-
senger seat, if the passenger air bag off
indicator is on, turn the ignition key to
"LOCK" and ask the passenger to sit prop-
erly (sitting upright with the seat back in an
upright position, centered on the seat cush-
ion with their seat belt on, legs comfortably
extended and their feet on the floor). Re-
start the engine and have the person re-
main in that position for about 40 seconds.
This will allow the system to detect the
person and to enable the passenger air
bag. If the passenger air bag off indicator
is still on, turn the ignition key to "LOCK"
and ask the passenger to sit properly and
restart the engine again. If the "PASSEN-
GER AIR BAG OFF" indicator is still on, ask
the passenger to move to the rear seat.Proper seating position

WARNING:
Riding in an improper position or placing
weight on the front passenger's seat
when it is unoccupied by a passenger
adversely affects the occupant classifi-
cation system (OCS).
- NEVER put a heavy load in the front
passenger seat.

!
WARNING:
o Do not do any of the following. Placing
weight on the front passenger's seat
or sitting incorrectly adversely af-
fects occupant classification system
operation.

NOTE:The passenger air bag off indicator illu-
minates for about 4 seconds after the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" posi-
tion or after the engine is started. If the
front passenger seat is occupied, the
occupant classification sensor will then
classify the front passenger within ap-
proximately 10 seconds after the igni-
tion is turned on.
!
WARNING:
o A smaller-stature adult who is not
seated correctly (for example: seat
excessively reclined, leaning on the
center console, or hips shifted for-
ward in the seat) can cause a condi-
tion where the advanced frontal air
bag system senses less weight than
if the occupant were seated properly
(sitting upright with the seatback in an
upright position, centered on the seat
cushion with their seat belt on, legs
comfortably extended and their feet
on the floor).
o This condition can result in an adult
potentially being misclassified and
illumination of the passenger air bag
off indicator.
WARNING:
Do not allow an adult passenger to ride
in the front seat when the passenger air
bag off indicator is illuminated, because
the air bag will not deploy in the event of
a crash. If the passenger air bag off
indicator remains illuminated after the
passenger repositions themselves prop-
erly and the car is restarted, Hyundai
recommends that passenger move to
the rear seat because the passenger's
front air bag will not deploy.
!
CAUTION:
If the occupant classification system is
not working properly, the SRS air bag
warning light on the instrument panel
will illuminate because the passenger's
front air bags are connected with the
occupant classification system. If there
is a malfunction of the occupant classi-
fication system, the passenger air bag
off indicator will illuminate and the
passenger's front air bags will not inflate
in frontal impact crashes even if there is
adult occupant in the front passenger's
seat. If the SRS air bag warning light does
not illuminate when the ignition key is
turned to the "ON" position, remains
illuminated after approximately 6 sec-
onds when the ignition key is turned to
the "ON" position, or if it illuminates
while the vehicle is being driven, have an
authorized Hyundai dealer inspect the
occupant classification system and the
SRS air bag system as soon as possible.

WARNING:
o Accident statistics show that children
are safer if they are restrained in the
rear, as opposed to the front seat. It is
recommended that child restraints
be secured in a rear seat, including an
infant riding in a rear-facing infant
seat, a child riding in a forward-facing
child seat and an older child riding in
a booster seat.
o Air bags can only be used once – have
an authorized Hyundai dealer replace
the air bag immediately after deploy-
ment.
!
WARNING:
o If you change the weight on the front
passenger seat just after sit-in or re-
start of the engine, the "PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF" indicator may be
turned on or off for a few seconds,
disabling or enabling the passenger
air bags. After the initial stage of about
30 seconds, the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator will not toggle on
and off.
o Do not modify or replace the front
passenger seat. Don't place anything
on or attach anything such as a blan-
ket or after market seat heater to the
front passenger seat. This can ad-
versely affect the occupant classifi-
cation system.
o Do not sit on sharp objects such as
tools when occupying the front pas-
senger seat. This can adversely af-
fect the occupant classification sys-
tem.
o Do not use accessory seat covers on
the front seats.
!
WARNING:
o Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the occupation classification
system, never install a child restraint
system in the front passenger's seat.
A deploying air bag can forcefully
strike a child resulting in serious inju-
ries or death. Any child under 13
years of age should ride in the rear
seat. Children too large for child re-
straints should use the available lap/
shoulder belts. No matter what type
of crash, children of all ages are safer
when restrained in the rear seat.
o If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator is illuminated when the front
passenger's seat is occupied by an
adult and he/she sits properly (sitting
upright with the seatback in an upright
position, centered on the seat cush-
ion with their seat belt on, legs com-
fortably extended and their feet on the
floor), have that person sit in the rear
seat.

B240C01CM-AATSRS CareThe SRS is virtually maintenance free and
there are no parts you can safely service by
yourself. If the SRS SRI (Service Reminder
Indicator) does not illuminate, or continu-
ously remains on, have your vehicle im-
mediately inspected by your Hyundai
dealer.
Any work on the SRS system, such as
removing, installing, repairing, or any work
on the steering wheel must be performed
by a qualified Hyundai technician. Improper
handling of the air bag system may result
in serious personal injury.
!
!
WARNING:
o The built in coat hooks should only be
used for light weight clothing. Ensure
that clothing pockets are free of any
heavy or sharp objects. When using
coat hooks, do not hang clothes on
coat hangers.
o The space between the occupant and
the curtain air bag must never be
occupied by children, passengers or
pets. Occupants should never lean
out or have any parts of their body
protruding from the window while the
engine is running.
o Do not move the sun visor out to cover
the side window if there is an item
attached to it such as garage door
remote control, pens, compact disc
pocket, air fresheners or the like.
These objects may cause injury if the
Curtain Air Bag is deployed.
o Where sun blinds are fitted to the rear
doors, these must not obstruct or
impair the air bag in any way.o Do not install any accessories or
children’s toys in the Curtain Air Bag
deployment zones, as this may im-
pair the operation of the system or
throw parts of them into the vehicle
cabin causing injury to occupants if
the system is deployed.
o To maintain the integrity of the Cur-
tain Air Bag system, any work, re-
moval or installation of the air bag and
associated components (such as roof
lining and side trims) should always
be performed by an authorized
Hyundai dealer.
WARNING:
WARNING:
Never tamper with or disconnect the air
bag system sensors & wiring. You could
cause the air bag to inflate or the system
may fail to operate which may result in
fatal personal injury.
