another country, be sure to:
o Observe all regulations regarding reg-
istration and insurance.
o Determine that acceptable fuel is avail-
able.B010E01A-AATGasolines for Cleaner AirTo help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai
recommends that you use gasolines
treated with detergent additives, which
help prevent deposit formation in the

engine run cleaner and enhance perfor-
mance of the Emission Control System.

tween 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.

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

the vehicle is moving. Any sudden
or unexpected movement of the seat
could cause you to lose control of
the vehicle resulting in an accident.
Only adjust the driver’s seat when
the vehicle is stationary.

WARNING:
o If the retractor is not in the Auto-
matic Locking mode, the child re-
straint can move when your vehicle
turns or stops suddenly. A child can
be seriously injured or killed if the
child restraint is not properly an-
chored to the car, including setting
the retractor to the Automatic Lock-
ing mode.
o Do not install any child restraint sys-
tem 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.
o Before installing a Child Restraint
System to vehicles fitted with Curtain
Airbags, always refer to safety no-
tices for Curtain Airbag systems in
this manual. Whenever installing child
restraints, use only approved devices
and refer to the "Child Restraint Sys-
tem" section to ensure correct instal-
lation and that occupant protection is
maximized. If the retractor is in the automatic locking
mode, the belt will be locked. After instal-
lation 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 passen-
ger emergency locking usage condition.
NOTE:o Before installing the child restraint
system, read the instructions sup-
plied by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate as
described, have the system checked
immediately by your authorized
Hyundai dealer.
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 shoul-
der portion of the belt is positioned so that
it cannot interfere with the child's head or
neck. Also, double check to be sure that
the retractor has engaged the automatic
locking feature by trying to extend web-
bing out of the retractor.B230G02MC-AATChild Restraint System Installation

When an adult is seated in the front
passenger seat, if the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator 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 for
about 30 seconds.
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, turn the ignition
key to "LOCK" and ask the passenger to
sit properly and restart the engine again.
If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indi-
cator is still on, ask the passenger to
move to the rear seat.Proper seating position

*1) The system judges a person of adult
size as an adult. When a smaller adult
sits in the front passenger seat, the
system may recognize him/her as a
child depending on his/her physique
and posture.
*2) Do not allow children to ride in the
front passenger seat. When a larger
child who has outgrown a child re-
straint system sits in the front passen-
ger seat, the system may recognize
him/her as an adult depending on his/
her physique or posture, or objects in
the lap of the child.
*3) Never install a child restraint system
on the front passenger seat. Condition and operation in the front pas-

Always be sure that you and all vehicle
occupants are seated and restrained prop-
erly (sitting upright with the seat in an
upright position, centered on the seat
cushion, with the person’s legs comfort-
ably extended, feet on the floor, and
wearing the safety belt properly) for the
most effective protection by the air bag
and the safety belt.
o The OCS may not function properly if
the passenger takes actions which can
defeat the detection system. These
include:
(1) Failing to sit in an upright position.
(2) Leaning against the door or center
console.
(3) Sitting towards the sides or the front
of the seat.
(4) Putting legs on the dashboard or
resting them on other locations
which reduce the passenger weight
on the front seat.
(5) Improperly wearing the safety belt.
(6) Reclining the seatback.

B240D02NF-AATAdditional Safety PrecautionsoNever let passengers ride in the
cargo area (trunk) or on top of a
folded-down back seat. All occupants
should sit upright, fully back in their
seats with their seat belts on and their
feet on the floor.
oPassengers should not move out of
or change seats while the vehicle is
moving. A passenger who is not wear-
ing a seat belt during a crash or emer-
gency stop can be thrown against the
inside of the vehicle, against other
occupants, or out of the vehicle.
oEach seat belt is designed to re-
strain one occupant. If more than one
person uses the same seat belt, they
could be seriously injured or killed in
a collision.
oDo not use any accessories on seat
belts. Devices claiming to improve oc-
cupant comfort or reposition the seat
belt can reduce the protection pro-
vided by the seat belt and increase the
chance of serious injury in a crash.
oPassengers should not place hard or
sharp objects between themselves
and the airbags. Carrying hard or
sharp objects on your lap or in your
mouth can result in injuries if an airbag
inflates.
!
WARNING:
o No objects should be placed over or
near the airbag modules on the steer-
ing 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
replaced by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect
SRS wiring, or other components of
the SRS system. Doing so could re-
sult in injury, due to accidental infla-
tion 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 precau-
tions and can give you the neces-
sary information. Failure to follow
these precautions and procedures
could increase the risk of personal
injury.
!
WARNING:
o If your car was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or there is water
on the floor, do not start the engine;
have the car towed to an authorized
Hyundai dealer.
