Use Unleaded GasolineUnleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane
Rating of 87 (Research Octane Number
91) or higher must be used in your
Hyundai.
B010B01A-AATWhat About Gasohol?Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded
gasoline and 10% ethanol or grain alco-
hol) may be used in your Hyundai. How-
ever, if your engine develops driveability
problems, the use of 100% unleaded
gasoline is recommended. Fuels with
unspecified quantities of alcohol, or
alcohols other than ethanol, should not
be used.B010C01A-AATUse of MTBEHyundai recommends that fuels contain-
ing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether)
over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7%
weight) should not be used in your
Hyundai.
Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0% vol.
(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) may re-
duce vehicle performance and produce
vapor lock or hard starting.
B010D01A-AATDo Not Use MethanolFuels containing methanol (wood alco-
hol) should not be used in your Hyundai.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicle per-
formance and damage components of
the fuel system.
CAUTION:
Your Hyundai's New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty may not cover damage to the fuel
system and any performance problems
that are caused by the use of fuels con-
taining methanol or fuels containing
MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) over
15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight.)

DOOR LOCKS!
B030B01NF-GATRecord Your Key NumberA code number is recorded on the num-
ber tag that came with the keys to your
Hyundai. This key number tag should not
be left with the keys but kept in a safe
place, not in the vehicle. The key number
should also be recorded in a place where
it can be found in an emergency.
If you need additional keys, or if you
should lose your keys, your authorized
Hyundai dealer can make new keys if you
can supply the key number.

WARNING:
o Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Before you drive away (especially if
there are children in the car), be sure
that all the doors are securely closed
and locked so that the doors cannot
be opened from the inside. This helps
ensure that the doors will not be
opened accidentally. Also, when com-
bined with the proper use of seat
belts, locking the doors helps keep
occupants from being ejected from
the car in case of an accident.
o Before opening the door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic.
KEYSB030A01A-AATFor greater convenience, the same key
operates 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.

To move the seat toward the front or rear,
pull the lock release lever upward. This
will release the seat on its track so you
can move it forward or rearward to the
desired position.
When you find the position you want,
release the lever and slide the seat for-
ward or rearward on its track until it locks
into the desired position and cannot be
moved further.
!
WARNING:
After adjusting the seat, always check
that it is securely locked into place by
attempting to move the seat forward or
rearward without using the lock release
lever. Sudden or unexpected move-
ment of the driver's seat could cause
you to lose control of the vehicle result-
ing in an accident.

C010303BUNHeadrest
OBH038076L
The rear seat(s) is equipped with head-
rests in all the seating positions for the
occupant's safety and comfort.
The headrest not only provides comfort
for passengers, but also helps to protect
the head and neck in the event of a
collision.
!
WARNING:
o For maximum effectiveness in case
of an accident, the headrest should
be adjusted so the middle of the
headrest is at the same height of the
center of gravity of an occupant's
head. Generally, the center of grav-
ity of most people's head is similar
with the height of the top of their
eyes. Also, adjust the headrest as
close to your head as possible. The
use of a cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback is not rec-
ommended.
o Do not operate the vehicle with the
headrests removed as severe injury
to an occupant may occur in the
event of an accident. Headrests may
provide protection against severe
neck injuries when properly adjusted.

B150B03A-AATInfant or Small ChildAll 50 states have child restraint laws.
You should be aware of the specific re-
quirements in your state. Child and/or
infant safety seats must be properly placed
and installed in the rear seat. Information
about the use of these restraints begins
on page 1-31.
WARNING:
Every person in your vehicle needs to be
properly restrained at all times, includ-
ing infants and children. Never hold a
child in your arms or lap when riding in a
vehicle. The violent forces created dur-
ing 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 1-31.
NOTE:Small children are best protected from
injury in an accident when properly re-
strained in the rear seat by a child re-
straint 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 Fed-
eral 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 1-31.
B150C02A-AATLarger ChildrenChildren who are too large for child re-
straint 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 re-
strained 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.

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.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to the
proper length only after the lap belt is
adjusted manually so that it fits snugly
around your hips. If you lean forward in a
slow, easy motion, the belt will extend
and let you move around. If there is a
sudden stop or impact, however, the belt
will lock into position. It will also lock if you
try to lean forward too quickly.B180A01MC-AATSEAT BELT-Driver's 3-Point System

WARNING:
o Verify the shoulder belt anchor is
locked into position at the appropri-
ate height. Never position the shoul-
der belt across your neck or face.
Improperly positioned seat belts can
cause serious injuries in an acci-
dent.
o Failure to replace seat belts after an
accident could leave you with dam-
aged seat belts that will not provide
protection in the event of another
collision leading to personal injury or
death. Replace your seat belts after
being in an accident as soon as pos-
sible. To lower it, push it down while pressing
the height adjuster button. Release the
button to lock the anchor into position. Try
sliding the height adjuster to make sure
that it has locked into the position.

you sit well back in the seat.
o When adjusting the shoulder belt
height, grip the height adjuster but-
ton securely and slide the height
adjuster up or down.
o If the shoulder belt anchor is not
moved, grasp the shoulder part of
the belt and pull forward to the full.

B190A03A-AATSEAT BELTS-Front Passenger and
Rear Seat 3-Point System with Com-
bination Locking Retractor :
To Fasten Your BeltCombination retractor type seat belts are
installed in the rear seat outboard and
center positions to help accommodate
the installation of child restraint systems.
Hyundai strongly recommends that chil-
dren 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 re-
tractor seat belt and an automatic locking
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 (Emer-
gency Locking Retractor Type). It auto-
matically 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. *1) Warning pattern repeats 11 times with
an interval of 24 seconds. If the driver's
seat belt is buckled, the light will stop
within 6 seconds and chime will stop
immediately.
*2) The light will stop within 6 seconds
and chime will stop immediately.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMB230A05A-AATChildren riding in the car should sit in the
rear seat and must always be properly
restrained to minimize the risk of injury in
an accident, sudden stop or sudden
maneuver. According to accident statis-
tics provided by the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
children are safer when properly re-
strained in the rear seats than in the front
seat. Larger children not in a child re-
straint should use one of the seat belts
provided.
All 50 states have child restraint laws.
You should be aware of the specific re-
quirements in your state. Child and/or
infant safety seats must be properly placed
and installed in the rear seat. You must
use a commercially available child re-
straint system that meets the requirements
of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dards (FMVSS).
Child restraint systems are designed to
be secured in vehicle seats by lap belts
or the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder
belt, or by a LATCH system (If Installed).
Children could be injured or killed in a
crash if their restraints are not properly
secured.
