o If you open the fuel filler cap during high
ambient temperatures, a slight "pres-
sure sound" may be heard. This is nor-
mal and not a cause for concern. When-
ever you open the fuel filler cap, turn it
slowly.
o Do not "top off" after the nozzle auto-
matically shuts off when refueling.
o Automotive fuels are flammable/explo-
sive materials. When refueling, please
note the following guidelines carefully.
Failure to follow these guidelines may
result in severe personal injury, severe
burns or death by fire or explosion.
- Before refueling always note the loca-
tion of the Emergency Gasoline Shut-
Off, if available, at the gas station
facility.
- Before touching the fuel nozzle or fuel
filler cap, you should eliminate poten-
tially dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching another metal part
of the front of the vehicle, a safe dis-
tance away from the fuel filler neck,
nozzle, or other gas source.
- Do not get back into a vehicle once
you have begun refueling. Do not
touch, rub or slide against any item or
fabric (polyester, satin, nylon, etc.)
!
WARNING:
!
WARNING:
capable of producing static electric-
ity. Static electricity discharge can
ignite fuel vapors resulting in explo-
sion.
If you must re-enter the vehicle, you
should once again eliminate poten-
tially dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching a metal part of the
vehicle, away from the fuel filler neck,
nozzle or other gasoline source.
- When using a portable fuel container
be sure to place the container on the
ground prior to refueling. Static elec-
tricity discharge from the container
can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
Once refueling has begun, contact
with the vehicle should be maintained
until the filling is complete. Use only
portable fuel containers designed to
carry and store gasoline.
- Do not use cellular phones around a
gas station or while refueling any ve-
hicle. Electric current and/or electronic
interference from cellular phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapors causing
a fire. If you must use your cellular
phone use it in a place away from the
gas station.
!
WARNING:
- When refueling always shut the en-
gine off. Sparks produced by electri-
cal components related to the engine
can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
Always insure that the engine is OFF
before and during refueling. Once re-
fueling is complete, check to make
sure the fuel filler cap and door are
securely closed, before starting the
engine.
- Do not light any fire around a gas
station. 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 refuel-
ing. Automotive fuel is highly flam-
mable and can, when ignited, result in
explosion by flames.
- If a fire breaks out during refueling,
leave the vicinity of the vehicle, and
immediately contact the manager of
the gas station or contact the police
and local fire department. Follow any
safety instructions they provide.

WARNING:
o Keep the cruise control ON/OFF switch
off when not using the cruise control to
avoid inadvertently setting a speed.
o Use the cruise control system only when
traveling on open highways in good
weather.
o Do not use the cruise control when it
may not be safe to keep the car at a
constant speed, for instance, driving in
heavy or varying traffic, or on slippery
(rainy, icy or snow-covered) or winding
roads or over 6% up-hill or down-hill
roads.
o Pay particular attention to the driving
conditions whenever using the cruise
control system.
o During cruise-control driving with a
manual transaxle vehicle, do not shift
into neutral without depressing the
clutch pedal, or the engine will be
overrevved. If this happens, depress the
clutch pedal or release the main switch. The vehicle will automatically resume the speed
set prior to cancellation when you push the
control switch upward to "RESUME (ACCEL :
Type A, + : Type B)" position and release it,
providing the vehicle speed is above 25 mph (40
km/h).

B740D01A-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.

FM reception
B750A01L
Obstructed areaIron bridges
FM broadcasts are transmitted at high frequen-
cies and do not bend to follow the earth's
surface. Because of this, FM broadcasts gen-
erally begin to fade at short distances from the
station. Also, FM signals are easily affected by
buildings, mountains, or other obstructions.
These can result in certain listening conditions
which might lead you to believe a problem exists
with your radio. The following conditions are
normal and do not indicate radio trouble: AM broadcasts can be received at greater
distances than FM broadcasts. This is because
AM radio waves are transmitted at low frequen-
cies. These long, low frequency radio waves
can follow the curvature of the earth rather than
travelling straight out into the atmosphere. In
addition, they curve around obstructions so that
they can provide better signal coverage.
B750A02A-AATHow Car Audio WorksAM and FM radio signals are broadcast from
transmitter towers located around your city.
They are intercepted by the radio antenna on
your car. This signal is then received by the
radio and sent to your car speakers.
When a strong radio signal has reached your
vehicle, the precise engineering of your audio
system ensures the best possible quality repro-
duction. However, in some cases the signal
coming to your vehicle may not be strong and
clear. This can be due to factors such as the
distance from the radio station, closeness of
other strong radio stations or the presence of
buildings, bridges or other large obstructions in
the area.Ionosphere

WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
C010A01GK-AATEngine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open the windows immediately.
o Do not inhale exhaust fumes.
Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation.
o Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.
The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If you hear a change
in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the car, have the exhaust system checked
as soon as possible by your Hyundai dealer.
o Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.
Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the engine in your garage any
longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out.
o Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car.
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an open area with the air intake
set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior.
If you must drive with the tail gate open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary:
1. Close all windows.
2. Open side vents.
3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the windshield are kept clear
of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.

PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:
Engine exhaust and a wide variety of automobile components and parts, including components found in the interior furnishings in a vehicle,
contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects and reproductive harm. In addition, certain fluids
contained in vehicles and certain products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer
and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
