o For best protection from the side impact
airbag system and to avoid being injured
by the deploying side impact airbag,
both front seat occupants should sit in
an upright position with the seat belt
properly fastened. The driver's hands
should be placed on the steering wheel
at the 9:00 and 3:00 positions. The
passenger's arms and hands should be
placed on their laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat covers.
o Use of seat covers could reduce or pre-
vent the effectiveness of the system.
o Do not install any accessories on the
side or near the side impact airbag.
o Do not place any objects over the airbag
or between the airbag and yourself.
o Do not place any objects (an umbrella,
bag, etc.) between the front door and the
front seat. Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles and cause injury
if the supplemental side impact airbag
inflates.
o To prevent unexpected deployment of
the side impact airbag that may result in
personal injury, avoid impact to the side
impact sensor when the ignition key is
on.
WARNING:
WARNING:
o The side impact airbag is supplemental
to the driver's and the passenger's seat
belt systems and is not a substitute for
them. Therefore your seat belts must be
worn at all times while the vehicle is in
motion. The airbags deploy only in cer-
tain side impact conditions severe
enough to cause significant injury to the
vehicle occupants.

B990C01LZ-GATCurtain AirbagCurtain airbags are located along both sides of
the roof rails above the front and rear doors.
They are designed to help protect the heads of
the front seat occupants and the rear outboard
seat occupants in certain side impact collisions.
The curtain airbags are designed to deploy only
during certain side impact collisions, depending
on the crash severity, angle, speed and impact.
The curtain airbags are not designed to deploy
in all side impact situations, collisions from the
front or rear of the vehicle or in most rollover
situations.

WARNING AND INDICATOR LIGHTSB260B01JM-AAT
SRS (Airbag) Warning Light
The SRS warning light comes on for about 6
seconds after the key is turned to the "ON"
position or after the engine is started, after which
it will go out.
This light also comes on when the SRS is not
working properly. If the AIRBAG warning light
does not come on, or continuously remains on
after operating for about 6 seconds when you
turned the ignition key to the "ON" position or
started the engine, or if it comes on while driving,
have the SRS inspected by an authorized
Hyundai dealer.B260D01A-AAT
Turn Signal Indicator Lights
The blinking green arrows on the instrument
panel show the direction indicated by the turn
signals. If the arrow comes on but does not blink,
blinks more rapidly than normal, or does not
illuminate at all, a malfunction in the turn signal
system is indicated. Your dealer should be
consulted for repairs.

To adjust the Zone setting:
1. Determine the desired Zone Number based
upon your current location on the Zone Map.
2. Press and hold the button for more than
3 but less than 6 seconds, the current Zone
Number will appear on the display.
3. Pressing and holding the button again
will cause the numbers to increment (Note:
they will repeat …13, 14, 15, 1, 2, …).
Releasing the button when the desired Zone
Number appears on the display will set the
new Zone.
4. Within about 5 seconds the compass will
start displaying a compass heading again.
There are some conditions that can cause
changes to the vehicle magnets. Items such as
installing a ski rack or a CB antenna or even
some body repair work on the vehicle can
cause changes to the vehicle's magnetic field.
In these situations, the compass will need to be
re-calibrated to quickly correct for these
changes. To re-calibrate the compass:
1. Press and hold the button for more than
6 seconds. When the compass memory is
cleared a "C" will appear in the display.
2. To calibrate the compass, drive the vehicle
in 2 complete circles at less than 5 MPH (8
Km/h).

VENTILATION
B700A02A-AATBI-LEVEL HEATING
B710A01A-AAT
Your Hyundai is equipped with bi-level heating
controls. This makes it possible to have cooler
air from the dashboard vents and warmer air
from the floor outlets at the same time. To use
this feature:
o Set the air intake control switch to the fresh
air ( ) position.
o Set the air flow control at the bi-level ( )
position.
o Adjust the fan speed control to the desired
speed.
o Set the temperature control between "Cool"
and "Warm".
B700A01NF-A
To operate the ventilation system:
o Set the air intake control to the fresh air ( )
position.
o To direct all intake air to the dashboard
vents, set the airflow control to the face ( )
position.
o Adjust the fan speed control to the desired
speed.
o Set the temperature control between "Cool"
and "Warm".
B710A02NF-AB730A01L-AAT
Operation Tipso To keep dust or unpleasant fumes from
entering the car through the ventilation sys-
tem, temporarily set the air intake control at
the position. Be sure to return the control
to the position when the irritation has
passed to keep fresh air in the vehicle. This
will help keep the driver alert and comfort-
able.
o Air for the heating/cooling system is drawn
in through the grilles just ahead of the wind-
shield. Care should be taken that these are
not blocked by leaves, snow, ice or other
obstructions.
o To prevent interior fog on the windshield, set
the air intake control to the fresh air ( )
position and fan speed to the desired posi-
tion, turn on the air conditioning system, and
adjust temperature control to desired tem-
perature.

B740C01NF-A
B740D02Y-AATOperation Tipso If the interior of the car is hot when you first
get in, open the windows for a few minutes
to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air conditioning
system, keep all windows closed to keep hot
air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy traffic, shift
to a lower gear. This increases engine speed,
which in turn increases the speed of the air
conditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air conditioning off
to avoid the possibility of the engine over-
heating.
o During winter months or in periods when the
air conditioning is not used regularly, run the
air conditioning once every month for a few
minutes. This will help circulate the lubri-
cants and keep your system in peak oper-
ating condition.
