BREAKING IN YOUR NEW HYUNDAI
B010F01A-AATOperation in Foreign CountriesIf you are going to drive your Hyundai in another
country, be sure to:
o Observe all regulations regarding registra-
tion and insurance.
o Determine that acceptable fuel is available.B010E01A-AATGasolines for Cleaner AirTo help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai rec-
ommends that you use gasolines treated with
detergent additives, which help prevent deposit
formation in the engine. These gasolines will
help the engine run cleaner and enhance per-
formance of the Emission Control System.
B020A01S-AATDuring the First 1,200 Miles (2,000 Km)No formal "break-in" procedure is required with
your new Hyundai. However, you can contrib-
ute to the economical operation and durability of
your Hyundai by observing the following recom-
mendations during the first 1,200 miles (2,000
km).
o Don't drive faster than 55 MPH (88 km/h).
o While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm,
or revolutions per minute) between 2,000
rpm and 4,000 rpm.
o Use moderate acceleration. Don't start
quickly or depress the accelerator pedal
fully.
o For the first 200 miles (300 km), try to avoid
hard stops.
o Don't lug the engine (in other words, don't
drive so slowly in too high a gear that the
engine "bucks"-shift to a lower gear).
o Whether going fast or slow, vary your speed
from time to time.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than 3 minutes
at one time.
o Don't tow a trailer during the first 1,200 miles
(2,000 km) of operation.
B030A01A-AATFor greater convenience, the same key oper-
ates all the locks in your Hyundai. However,
because the doors can be locked without a key,
carrying a spare key is recommended in case
you accidentally lock one key inside the car.

WARNING:
o For maximum effectiveness in case of an
accident the headrest should be ad-
justed so the middle of the headrest is at
the same height as the top of the
occupant's eyes. For this reason, the
use of a cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback is not recom-
mended.
o Do not operate vehicle with the head-
rests removed as injury to the occupants
may occur in the event of an accident.
Headrests may provide protection
against neck injuries when properly ad-
justed.

B230G02O-AATChild Restraint System Installation on
Outboard Rear Seats
WARNING:
o If the retractor is not in the Automatic
Locking mode, the child restraint can
move when your vehicle turns or stops
suddenly. A child can be seriously in-
jured or killed if the child restraint is not
properly anchored to the car, including
setting the retractor to the Automatic
Locking mode.
o Do not install any child restraint system
in the front passenger 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. Therefore, only
use a child restraint system in the rear
seat of your vehicle. To install a child restraint system in the outboard
rear seats, extend the shoulder/lap belt entirely
from its retractor until a "click" is felt. This will
engage the seat belt retractor automatic locking
feature, which allows the seat belt to retract but
not extend. Install the child restraint system,
buckle the seat belt and allow the seat belt to
take up any slack. Make sure that the lap portion
of the belt is tight around the child restraint
system and the shoulder portion of the belt is
positioned so that it can not interfere with the
child's head or neck. Also, double check to be
sure that the retractor has engaged the Auto-
matic Locking feature by trying to extend web-
bing out of the retractor. If the retractor is in the
Automatic Locking mode, the belt will be locked.After installation of the child restraint system, try
to move it in all directions to be sure the child
restraint system is securely installed. If you need
to tighten the belt, pull more webbing toward the
retractor. When you unbuckle the seat belt and
allow it to retract, the retractor will automatically
revert back to its normal seated passenger
Emergency Locking usage condition.
NOTE:o Before installing the child restraint sys-
tem in any seating position, read the
instructions supplied by the child re-
straint system manufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate as de-
scribed, have the system checked imme-
diately by your authorized Hyundai dealer.

When an adult is seated in the front passenger
seat, if the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indica-
tor is on, turn the ignition key to "LOCK" and ask
the passenger to sit properly (sitting upright with
the seat back in an upright position, centered on
the seat cushion with their seat belt on, legs
comfortably extended and their feet on the
floor). Restart the engine and have the person
remain in that position. This will allow the system
to detect the person and to enable the passenger
airbag.
If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator is
still on, ask the passenger to move to the rear
seat.
- NEVER place feet on the dashboard.

o If your car was flooded and has soaked
carpeting or water on the floor, don't try
to start the engine; have the car towed to
an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not replace the bumper or the bumper
guard with the one other than the Hyundai
genuine parts. Otherwise, it can ad-
versely affect SRS performance and lead
to an increased risk of injury.
WARNING:
o For cleaning the airbag pad covers, use
only a soft, dry cloth or one which has
been moistened with plain water. Sol-
vents or cleaners could adversely affect
the airbag covers and proper deploy-
ment of the system.
o No objects should be placed over or near
the airbag modules on the steering
wheel, instrument panel, and the front
passenger's panel above the glove box,
because any such object could cause
harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe
enough to cause the airbags to inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be re-
placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS
wiring, or other components of the SRS
system. Doing so could result in injury,
due to accidental inflation of the airbags
or by rendering the SRS inoperative.
o If components of the airbag system must
be discarded, or if the vehicle must be
scrapped, certain safety precautions
must be observed. Your Hyundai dealer
knows these precautions and can give
you the necessary information. Failure
to follow these precautions and proce-
dures could increase the risk of personal
injury.

WARNING:

WARNING:
o Do not install a child restraint system in
the front passenger seat position.
A child restraint system must never be
placed in the front seat. The infant or
child could be severely injured or killed
by an airbag deployment in case of an
accident.
o Modification to SRS components or wir-
ing, including the addition of any kind of
badges to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure, can ad-
versely affect SRS performance and lead
to possible injury.B240C02JM-AATSRS Careo The 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 imme-
diately inspected by your Hyundai dealer.
o 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 airbag system may result in
serious personal injury.
