WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
C010A03A-AATEngine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open the
windows immediately.
o Do not inhale exhaust fumes.
Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by
asphyxiation.
o Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.
The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If you
hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the car, have
the exhaust system checked as soon as possible by your Hyundai dealer.
o Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.
Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the engine
in your garage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out.
o Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car.
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an open area
with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior.
If you must drive with the tail gate open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary:
1. Close all windows.
2. Open side vents.
3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the windshield
are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.

WARNING:
o The 2WD Santa Fe is not designed for
off-road use. The AWD Santa Fe is
designed primarily for use on paved
roads. However, occasional use in
off-highway conditions such as es-
tablished unpaved roads and non-
challenging off-road trails is allowed.
The AWD Santa Fe is not designed for
blazing new trails, challenging off-road
conditions, or unpaved hill climbing.
Exceeding the conditions that were
intended for the vehicle's primary
design may result in injury or death.
o Utility vehicles have a significantly
higher rollover rate than other types
of vehicles.
o In a rollover crash, an unbelted per-
son is significantly more likely to die
than a person wearing a seat belt.o Sport utility vehicle have higher
ground clearance and a narrower
track to make them capable of per-
forming in a wide variety of off-road
applications. Specific design charac-
teristics give them a higher center of
gravitiy than ordinary cars. An ad-
vantage of the higher ground clear-
ance is a better view of the road allow-
ing you to anticipate problems. They
are not designed for cornering at the
same speeds as conventional 2-wheel
drive vehicles any more than low-
slung sports cars are designed to
perform satisfactorily under off-road
conditions. If at all possible, avoid
sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers. As
with other vehicles of this type, failure
to operate this vehicle correctly may
result in loss of control or vehicle
rollover.
o In a collision, an unbelted person is
significantly more likely to be seri-
ously injured or killed than a person
wearing a seatbelt.

CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE
3
E020B01A-AATKeep Your Car CleanThe best way to prevent corrosion is to
keep your car clean and free of corrosive
materials. Attention to the underside of the
car is particularly important.
o If you live in a high-corrosion area —
where road salts are used, near the
ocean, areas with industrial pollution,
acid rain, etc.—, you should take extra
care to prevent corrosion. In winter,
hose off the underside of your car at
least once a month and be sure to clean
the underside thoroughly when winter
is over.
o When cleaning underneath the car, give
particular attention to the components
under the fenders and other areas that
are hidden from view. Do a thorough
job; just dampening the accumulated
mud rather than washing it away will
accelerate corrosion rather than pre-
vent it.E020A01A-AATYou can help prevent corrosion from get-
ting started by observing the following:TO HELP PREVENT CORROSION
E020C02A-AATKeep Your Garage DryDon't park your car in a damp, poorly
ventilated garage. This creates a favor-
able environment for corrosion. This is
particularly true if you wash your car in the
garage or drive it into the garage when it is
still wet or covered with snow, ice or mud.
Even a heated garage can contribute to
corrosion unless it is well ventilated so
moisture is dispersed.Water under high pressure and steam
are particularly effective in removing
accumulated mud and corrosive mate-
rials.
o When cleaning lower door panels,
rocker panels and frame members, be
sure that drain holes are kept open so
that moisture can escape and not be
trapped inside to accelerate corrosion.
E020E01A-AATDon't Neglect the InteriorMoisture can collect under the floor mats
and carpeting to cause corrosion. Check
under the mats periodically to be sure the
carpeting is dry. Use particular care if you
carry fertilizers, cleaning materials or
chemicals in the car.
These should be carried only in proper
containers and any spills or leaks should
be cleaned up, flushed with clear water
and thoroughly dried.E020D02A-AATKeep Paint and Trim in Good Condi-
tionScratches or chips in the finish should be
covered with "touch-up" paint as soon as
possible to reduce the possibility of corro-
sion. If bare metal is showing through, the
attention of a qualified body and paint
shop is recommended.
Bird droppings : Bird droppings are highly
corrosive and may damage painted sur-
faces in just a few hours. Always remove
bird droppings as soon as possible.

CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE6
E040D01A-AATCleaning the Seat BeltsTo clean the seat belts, use a cloth or
sponge with mild soap or detergent and
warm water. Do not use strong detergents,
dye, bleach or abrasive materials on the
seat belts as this may weaken the fabric.
While cleaning the belts, inspect them for
excessive wear, cuts, fraying or other signs
of damage and replace them if necessary.E040C01A-AATCleaning the CarpetsUse a foam-type carpet cleaner. Cleaners
of this type are available in aerosol cans in
liquid form or powder. Read the instruc-
tions and follow them exactly. Using a
vacuum cleaner with the appropriate at-
tachment, remove as much dirt from the
carpets as possible. Apply the foam follow-
ing the manufacturer's directions, then rub
in overlapping circles. Do not add water.
These cleaners work best when the carpet
is kept as dry as possible.
E040B01A-AATTo Clean the Leather Upholstery
(If installed)In the normal course of use, leather uphol-
stered surfaces will, like any material, pick-
up dust and dirt. This dust and dirt must be
cleaned off or it may work into the surface
of the leather, causing damage.
Fine leather needs care, and should be
cleaned when necessary. Washing leather
thoroughly with soap and water will keep
your leather lustrous, beautiful and ensure
you have many years of wear.
Take a piece of cheese cloth and using any
mild soap and lukewarm water, work up a
good lather. Thoroughly wash the leather.
Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth and
dry with soft cloth. Do this as often as the
leather becomes soiled.
During tanning operations, sufficient oils
are incorporated through processing that
none need be applied during the life of the
leather. Oil applied to the finished surface
will in no way help the leather and may do
more harm than good. Varnishes and fur-
niture polishes should never be used un-
der any conditions.
CLEANING THE INTERIORE040A01A-AATCleaning the upholstery and interior
trimVinyl
Remove dust and loose dirt from vinyl with
a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner. Clean
vinyl surfaces with a vinyl cleaner.
Fabric
Remove dust and loose dirt from fabric
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.
Clean with a mild soap solution recom-
mended for upholstery or carpets. Re-
move fresh spots immediately with a fabric
spot cleaner. If fresh spots do not receive
immediate attention, the fabric can be
stained and its color can be affected. Also,
its fire-resistant properties can be reduced
if the material is not properly maintained.
CAUTION:
Using anything but recommended clean-
ers and procedures may affect the
fabric’s appearance and fire-resistant
properties.
