WARNING -
Refueling dan-
gers
Automotive fuels are flammable
materials. When refueling, please
note the following guidelines care-
fully. Failure to follow these guide-
lines may result in severe personal
injury, severe burns or death by fire
or explosion.
Before refueling note the location
of the Emergency Gasoline Shut-
Off, if available, at the gas station
facility.
Before touching the fuel nozzle,
you should eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching another metal
part of the vehicle, a safe distance
away from the fuel filler neck, noz-
zle, or other gas source.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refueling
since you can generate static
electricity by touching, rubbing or
sliding against any item or fabric
(polyester, satin, nylon, etc.)
capable of producing static elec-
tricity. Static electricity discharge
can ignite fuel vapors resulting in
rapid burning. If you must re-
enter the vehicle, you should
once again eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching a metal part
of the vehicle, away from the fuel
filler neck, nozzle or other gaso-
line source.
When using an approved portable
fuel container be sure to place the
container on the ground prior to
refueling. Static electricity dis-
charge from the container can
ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
Once refueling has begun, con-
tact with the vehicle should be
maintained until the filling is com-
plete.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Use only approved portable plas-
tic fuel containers designed to
carry and store gasoline.
Do not use cellular phones while
refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cellu-
lar phones can potentially ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire.
When refueling, always shut the
engine off. Sparks produced by
electrical components related to
the engine can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Once refueling is
complete, check to make sure the
filler cap and filler door are
securely closed, before starting
the engine.
DO NOT use matches or a lighter
and DO NOT SMOKE or leave a lit
cigarette in your vehicle while at a
gas station especially during
refueling. Automotive fuel is high-
ly flammable and can, when ignit-
ed, result in fire.

When fuel filler lid does not open
with the release buttonIf the fuel filler lid does not open using
the remote fuel filler lid release, you can
open it manually. Unsnap and remove the
panel in the cargo area. Pull the handle
outward.
(Continued)
If a fire breaks out during refuel-
ing, leave the vicinity of the vehi-
cle, and immediately contact the
manager of the gas station and
then contact the local fire depart-
ment or 911. Follow any safety
instructions they provide.
CAUTION
Make sure to refuel with unleaded
fuel only.
Check to make sure the fuel filler
cap is securely closed after refu-
eling. A loose fuel filler cap may
cause the "Check Engine"
(Malfunction Indicator) light in the
instrument panel to illuminate
unnecessarily.
If the fuel filler cap requires
replacement, use only a genuine
Hyundai cap or the equivalent
specified for your vehicle. An
incorrect fuel filler cap can result
in a malfunction of the fuel sys-
tem or emission control system.
Do not spill fuel on the exterior
surfaces of the vehicle. Any type
of fuel spilled on painted surfaces
may damage the paint.
If the fuel filler lid will not open in
cold weather because the area
around it is frozen, push or lightly
tap the lid.

WARNING
- Driver’s seat
Never adjust the driver’s seat
while the vehicle is moving. Any
sudden or unexpected movement
of the seat could cause you to
lose control of the vehicle result-
ing in an accident. Only adjust the
driver’s seat when the vehicle is
stationary.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Do not allow anything to interfere
with the normal position of the
seatback. Storing items against a
seatback or in any other way
interfering with proper locking of
a seatback could result in serious
or fatal injury in a sudden stop or
collision.
Always drive and ride with your
seatback upright and the lap por-
tion of the seat belt snug and low
across the hips. This is the best
position to protect you in case of
an accident.
Do not sit or lean unnecessarily
close to the air bag. Position the
seat so that you can sit as far
back as possible from the air bag
and still comfortably reach all
controls. The U.S. goverment rec-
ommends that your chest be at
least 10 inches (250 mm) away
from the steering wheel.
After adjusting the seat, always
check that it is securely locked
into place by attempting to move
the seat forward or reverse with-
out using the lock release lever.
Sudden or unexpected movement
of the driver's seat could cause
you to lose control of the vehicle
resulting in an accident.
WARNING -
Uprighting
seat
When you return the seatback to its
upright position, hold the seatback
and return it slowly and be sure
there are no other occupants
around the seat. If the seatback is
returned without being held and
controlled, the back of the seat
could spring forward resulting in
accidental injury to a person struck
by the seatback.
WARNING
- Rear Seatback
The rear seatback must be
securely latched. If not, passen-
gers and objects could be thrown
forward resulting in serious
injury or death in the event of a
sudden stop or collision.
Luggage and other cargo should
be laid flat in the cargo area. If
objects are large, heavy, or must
be piled, they must be secured.
Under no circumstances should
cargo be piled higher than the
seatbacks. Failure to follow these
warnings could result in serious
injury or death in the event of a
sudden stop, collision or rollover.
No passenger should ride in the
cargo area or sit or lie on folded
seatbacks while the vehicle is
moving. All passengers must be
in seats and restrained properly
while riding.
When resetting the seatback to
the upright position, make sure it
is securely latched by pushing it
forward and backwards.
To avoid the possibility of burns,
do not remove the carpet in the
cargo area. Emission controls
beneath this floor generate high
exhaust temperatures.

WARNING
- Driver respon-
sibility for front seat pas-
senger
Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of serious or
fatal injuries in the event of a colli-
sion or sudden stop. The protection
of your restraint 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 causing
serious internal injuries or the
occupant's neck could strike the
shoulder belt. Drivers and passen-
gers should always sit well back in
their seats, properly belted, and
with the seatbacks upright.

WARNING
- Cargo
Cargo should always be secured to
prevent it from being thrown about
the vehicle in a collision and caus-
ing serious injury to the vehicle
occupants. Special care should be
taken of objects placed in the rear
seats, since those may strike the
front seat occupants in a frontal
collision.
WARNING -
Cargo loading

transaxle is in P and the parking
brake is applied whenever loading
or unloading cargo. Failure to take
these steps may allow the vehicle to
move if the shift lever is inadver-
tently moved to another position.
DRIVER POSITION MEMORY SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
Never attempt to operate the driver
position memory system while the
vehicle is moving.

✽
NOTICESmall children are best protected from
injury in an accident when properly
restrained in the rear seat by a child
restraint 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
Federal 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 3-71.
Larger childrenChildren who are too large for child
restraint systems should always occupy
the rear seat and use the available
lap/shoulder belts. The lap portion should
be fastened 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
restrained 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.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly touch-
es the child’s neck or face, try placing the
child closer to the center of the vehicle. If
the shoulder belt still touches their face
or neck they need to be returned to a
child restraint system. In addition, after-
market devices are available from inde-
pendent manufacturers which help pull
the shoulder belt down and away from
the child’s face or neck.
Pregnant 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 recommendations, consult a
physician.Injured personA seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
When this is necessary, you should con-
sult a physician for recommendations.One 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.
WARNING
Every person in your vehicle needs
to be properly restrained at all
times, including infants and chil-
dren. 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 interior. Always use a child
restraint appropriate for your
child's height and weight, see page
3-71.
WARNING
- Shoulder belts
on small children
Never allow a shoulder belt to be
in contact with a child’s neck or
face while the vehicle is in
motion.
If safety belts are not properly
worn and adjusted on children,
there is a risk of death or serious
injury.

✽ ✽
NOTICEIf the driver's safety belt is not fastened
when the key is turned ON or if it is dis-
connected after the key is turned ON,
the safety belt warning light will blink
until the belt is fastened.
If the driver's safety belt is not fastened
when the key is turned ON or if it is
unfastened after the key is ON, the safe-
ty belt warning chime will sound for
approximately 6 seconds.
Seat belts - Front passenger and
rear seat 3-point system with
combination locking retractorTo fasten your belt Combination retractor type seat belts are
installed in the rear seat positions to help
accommodate the installation of child
restraint systems. Although a combina-
tion retractor is also installed in the front
passenger seat position, Hyundai strong-
ly recommends that children always be
seated in the rear seat. NEVER place
any infant restraint system in the front
seat of the vehicle.
This type of seat belt combines the fea-
tures of both an emergency locking
retractor seat belt and an automatic lock-
ing retractor seat belt. To fasten your seat
belt, pull it out of the retractor and insert
the metal tab into the buckle. There will
be an audible "click" when the tab locks
into the buckle. When not securing a
child restraint, the seat belt operates in
the same way as the driver's seat belt
(Emergency Locking Retractor Type). It
automatically adjusts to the proper length
only after the lap belt portion of the seat
belt is adjusted manually so that it fits
snugly around your hips.When the seat belt is fully extended from
the retractor to allow the installation of a
child restraint system, the seat belt oper-
ation changes to allow the belt to retract,
but not to extend (Automatic Locking
Retractor Type). See page 3-75.
✽ ✽
NOTICEAlthough the combination retractor
provides the same level of protection for
seated passengers in either emergency
or automatic locking modes, it is recom-
mended that seated passengers use the
emergency locking feature for improved
convenience. The automatic locking
function is intended to facilitate child
restraint installation. To convert from
the automatic locking feature to the
emergency locking operation mode,
allow the unbuckled seat belt to fully
retract.
WARNING
For maximum restraint system
protection, the seat belts must
always be used whenever the car
is moving.
Seat belts are most effective
when seatbacks are in the upright
position.
