WARNING:
o There is no center rear seat position.
o A child can be seriously injured or killed
in a collision if the child restraint is not
properly anchored. Always follow the
child seat manufacturer’s instructions
for installation and use.
o Never install a child restraint using the
ISOFIX anchors at the center position of
the rear seat. In a crash, the ISOFIX
anchors may break if a car seat is improp-
erly placed in the center position result-
ing in serious or fatal injuries. Only place
a ISOFIX or ISOFIX-compatible child seat
in the left or right out-board rear seating
positions (as shown) to the appropriate
ISOFIX anchors provided.
o Never mount more than one child re-
straint to a single tether or to a single
lower anchorage point. The increased
load caused by multiple seats may cause
the tethers or anchorage points to break,
causing serious injury or death.o When using the vehicle’s “ISOFIX” sys-
tem to install a child restraint system in
the rear seat, all unused vehicle rear seat
belt metal latch plates or tabs must be
latched securely in their seat belt buck-
les and the seat belt webbing must be
retracted behind the child restraint to
prevent the child from reaching and tak-
ing hold of unretracted seat belts.
Unlatched metal latch plates or tabs may
allow the child to reach the unretracted
seat belts which may result in strangu-
lation and a serious injury or death to the
child in the child restraint.
B230D04GK-AATSecuring the child Restraint seat with
the "ISOFIX" systemSome child seat manufacturers make child
restraint seats that are labeled as ISOFIX or
ISOFIX-compatible child restraint seats. These
seats include two rigid or webbing mounted
attachments that connect to two ISOFIX an-
chors at specific seating positions in your ve-
hicle. This type of child restraint seat eliminates
the need to use seat belts to attach the child
seat.
ISOFIX anchors have been provided in your
vehicle. The ISOFIX anchors are located in the
left and right outboard rear seating positions.
Their locations are shown in the illustration.

Brake Pad Wear Warning SoundThe front disc brake pads have wear indicators
that should make a high-pitched squealing or
scraping noise when new pads are needed. The
sound may come and go or be heard all the time
when the vehicle is moving. It may also be heard
when the brake pedal is pushed down firmly.
Excessive rotor damage will result if the worn
pads are not replaced. See your Hyundai dealer
immediately.

ABS Service Reminder Indica-
tor (SRI)
When the key is turned to the "ON" position, the
Anti-Lock Brake System SRI 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 possible. The
normal braking system will still be operational,
but without the assistance of the anti-lock brake
system.
WARNING:
If the both 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.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)C120A03A-AAT(If installed)The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed
to prevent wheel lock-up during sudden braking
or on hazardous road surfaces. The ABS con-
trol module monitors the wheel speed and con-
trols the pressure applied to each brake. Thus,
in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABS
will increase vehicle control during braking.NOTE:o A click sound may be heard in the engine
compartment when the vehicle begins
to move after the engine is started. These
conditions are normal and indicate that
the anti-lock brake system (Electronic
Stability Program) is functioning prop-
erly.
o During ABS operation, a slight pulsation
may be felt in the brake pedal when the
brakes are applied. Also, a noise may be
heard in the engine compartment while
braking. These conditions are normal
and indicate that the anti-lock brake
system is functioning properly.
WARNING:
ABS will not prevent accidents due to im-
proper or dangerous driving maneuvers.
Even though vehicle control is improved
during emergency braking, always main-
tain a safe distance between you and ob-
jects ahead. Vehicle speeds should always
be reduced during extreme road condi-
tions.
The braking distance for cars equipped
with an anti-lock braking system may be
longer than for those without it in the
following road conditions.
During these conditions the vehicle should
be driven at reduced speeds.
o Rough, gravel or snow-covered roads.
o With tire chains installed.
o Roads where the road surface is pitted or
has different surface height.
The safety features of an ABS equipped
vehicle should not be tested by high speed
driving or cornering. This could endanger
the safety of yourself or others.
ELECTRONIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESC) SYSTEMC310A04JM-AAT(If installed)
!
WARNING:
Never drive too fast for the road conditions
or too quickly when cornering. Electronic
stability control (ESC) will not prevent ac-
cidents. Excessive speed in turns, abrupt
maneuvers and hydroplaning on wet sur-
faces can still result in serious accidents.
Only a safe and attentive driver can prevent
accidents by avoiding maneuvers that
cause the vehicle to lose traction. Even with
ESC installed, always follow all the normal
precautions for driving - including driving
at safe speeds for the conditions.

CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE4
E030D01A-AATWhen to Wax AgainYou should polish and wax the car again when
water no longer beads on a clean surface but
spreads out over a larger area.E030C01A-AATPolishing and WaxingAlways wash and dry the car before polishing
or waxing or using a combination cleaner and
wax. Use a good quality commercial product
and follow the manufacturer’s directions on the
container. Polish and wax the bright trim pieces
as well as the paint.E030B01A-AATSpot CleaningDon’t use gasoline, strong solvents or corro-
sive cleaning agents. These can damage the
finish of the car. To remove road tar, use
turpentine on a clean, soft cloth or commercially
available bug and tar remover. Be gentle.
To remove dead insects or tree sap, use warm
water and mild soap or car-washing solution.
Soak the spot and rub gently. If the paint has lost
its luster, use a commercial car-cleaning polish. If you find any nicks or scratches in the paint,
use touch-up paint to cover them to prevent
corrosion. To protect the paintwork of the car
against corrosion, you must clean your Hyundai
(at least once a month). Give special attention
to the removal of salt, mud and other sub-
stances on the underside of the splashboards
of the car. Make sure that the outlets and the
underside of the doors are open. Paint damage
can be caused by small accumulation of tar,
industrial precipitation, tree resin, insects and
bird droppings, when not removed immediately.
If water alone is not strong enough to remove the
accumulated dirt, use a mild car washing solu-
tion. Be sure to rinse the surface after washing
to remove the solution. Never allow the solution
to dry on the painted surfaces. To clean whitewall tires, use a stiff brush or
soapy steel-wool scouring pad.
To clean plastic wheel covers, use a clean
sponge or soft cloth and water.
To clean cast aluminum alloy wheels, use a mild
soap or neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive
cleaners. Protect the bare-metal surfaces by
cleaning, polishing and waxing. Because alumi-
num is subject to corrosion, be sure to give
aluminum alloy wheels special attention in win-
ter. If you drive on salted roads, clean the
wheels thoroughly afterwards.
After washing, be sure to rinse thoroughly. If
soapy water dries on the finish, streaking will
result.
When the weather is warm and the humidity low,
you may find it necessary to rinse each section
immediately after washing to avoid streaking.
After rinsing, dry the car using a damp chamois
or soft, absorbent cloth. The reason for drying
the car is to remove water from the car so it will
dry without water spots. Don't rub, this can
damage the finish.
CAUTION:
o Water washing in the engine compart-
ment may cause the failure of electrical
circuits located in the engine compart-
ment.
o Never allow water or other liquids to
come in contact with electrical/electronic
components inside the vehicle as this
may damage them.
