Please consult your Owner's Handbook & Warranty Information booklet for your vehicle's spe-
cific warranty coverage.The maintenance requirements for your new Hyundai are found in Section 6. As the owner, it is your

VEHICLE DATA COLLECTION AND EVENT DATA RECORDERS
Your 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 operate 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 information that is useful to service technicians 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 system, 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 information 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:
o in response to an official request of police or similar government office, or
o with the consent of the vehicle owner or, if the vehicle is leased, with the consent of the lessee, or
o as part of Hyundai’s defense of litigation, or
o as required by law.

ILLUMINATED IGNITION SWITCHWhenever either front door is opened, the igni-
tion switch will be illuminated for your conve-
nience, provided the ignition switch is not in the
"ON" position.
The light will go off approximately 10 seconds
after closing the door or when the ignition switch
is turned on.
WARNING:
o Unlocked doors can be dangerous. Be-
fore you drive away (especially if there
are children in the car), be sure that all the
doors are securely closed and locked so
that the doors cannot be opened from
the inside. This helps ensure that the
doors will not be opened accidentally.
Also, when combined with the proper
use of seat belts, locking the doors helps
keep occupants from being ejected from
the car in case of an accident.
o Before opening the door, always look for
and avoid oncoming traffic.
B030B01NF-GATRecord Your Key NumberA code number is attached on the number tag
that came with the keys to your Hyundai. This
key number tag should not be left with the keys
but kept in a safe place, not in the vehicle. The
key number should also be recorded in a place
where it can be found in an emergency.
If you need additional keys, or if you should lose
your keys, your authorized Hyundai dealer can
make new keys if you can supply the key
number.

WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be placed
in the rear seat. Never install a child or
infant seat on the front passenger's seat.
Should an accident occur and cause the
passenger side airbag to deploy, it could
severely injure or kill an infant or child
seated in an infant or child seat. Thus
only use a child restraint in the rear seat
of your vehicle.
o A safety belt or child restraint system
can become very hot if it is left in a closed
vehicle on a sunny day, even if the out-
side temperature does not feel hot. Be
sure to check the seat cover and buckles
before placing a child there.
o When the child restraint system is not in
use, store it in the trunk or fasten it with
a safety belt so that it will not be thrown
forward in the case of a sudden stop or
an accident.
o Children may be seriously injured or
killed by an inflating airbag. All children,
even those too large for child restraints,
must ride in the rear seat.
!
WARNING:
To reduce the chance or serious or fatal
injuries:
o Children of all ages are safer when re-
strained in the rear seat. A child riding in
the front passenger seat can be force-
fully struck by an inflating airbag result-
ing in serious or fatal injuries.
o Always follow the instructions for in-
stallation and use of the child restraint
maker.
o Always make sure the child seat is se-
cured properly in the car and your child
is securely restrained in the child seat.
o Never hold a child in your arms or lap
when riding in a vehicle. The violent
forces created during a crash will tear the
child from your arms and throw the child
against the car’s interior.
o Never put a seat belt over yourself and a
child. During a crash, the belt could
press deep into the child causing seri-
ous internal injuries.
o Never leave children unattended in a
vehicle – not even for a short time. The
car can heat up very quickly, resulting in
serious injuries to children inside. Even
very young children may inadvertently
cause the vehicle to move, entangle them-
selves in the windows, or lock them-
selves or others inside the vehicle.o Never allow two children, or any two
persons, to use the same seat belt.
o Children often squirm and reposition
themselves improperly. Never let a child
ride with the shoulder belt under their
arm or behind their back. Always prop-
erly position and secure children in rear
seat.
o Never allow a child to stand-up or kneel
on the seat or floorboard of a moving
vehicle. During a collision or sudden
stop, the child can be violently thrown
against the vehicles interior, resulting in
serious injury.
o Never use an infant carrier or a child
safety seat that "hooks" over a seatback,
it may not provide adequate security in
an accident.
o Seat belts can become very hot, espe-
cially when the car is parked in direct
sunlight. Always check seat belt buck-
les before fastening them over a child.
o Always store or secure a child seat, even
when it is not in use. During a collision
or sudden stop, the child seat could be
thrown inside the vehicle.
