FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 1- 33
!WARNING:
o Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an airbag in front of it!
o Modification to SRS components or wiring, including the additionof any kind of badges to the pad cover or modifications to thebody structure, can adversely affect SRS performance and lead to possible injury.
B240C01HP
B240C02A-DAT SRS Care The SRS is virtually maintenance-free and so there are no parts you cansafely service by yourself. The entire SRS system must be inspected by an authorised Hyundai dealer in 10 yearsafter the date that the car was manu- factured. Any work on the air bag system, such as removing, installing, repairing, or any work on the steering wheel mustbe performed by a qualified Hyundai technician. Improper handling of the airbag system may result in seriouspersonal injury.
o Use of seat covers could reduce or
prevent the effectiveness of thesystem.
o Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side impactairbag.
o Do not use excessive force on the side of the seat.
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 thefront door and the front seat. Such objects may become dangerousprojectiles and cause injury if the supplemental side impact air bag inflates.
o To prevent unexpected deploy- ment of the side impact air bagthat may result in personal in-jury, avoid impact to the side airbag sensor when the ignition key is on.

1- 34 FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
o Do not install a child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger seat position. A child restraint systemmust never be placed in the front seat. The infant or baby could be severely injured by an airbag de-ployment in case of an accident.
o If components of the air bag sys-
tem must be discarded, or if thevehicle must be scrapped, cer- tain safety precautions must be observed. Your Hyundai dealerknows these precautions and can give you the necessary informa- tion.Failure to follow these precau- tions and procedures could in- crease the risk of personal in-jury.
o If you sell your vehicle, be sure to
inform the new owner of theseimportant points and make cer- tain that this manual is trans- ferred to the new owner togetherwith the vehicle.
o If your car was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or water onflooring, you shouldn't try to start engine; have the car towed to authorised Hyundai dealer.o For cleaning the horn pad, useonly a soft, dry cloth or one which has been moistened with plainwater. Solvents or cleaners could adversely affect the airbag cover and proper deployment of thesystem.
o No objects should be placed over
or near the label identifying theair bag on the steering wheel and instrument panel, because any such object could cause harm ifthe vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause the air bag to inflate.
o If the air bag inflates, it must be replaced by an authorisedHyundai dealer.
o Do not tamper with or discon- nect SRS wiring, or other com-ponents of the SRS system. Do-ing so could result in injury, due to accidental firing of the airbags or by rendering the SRS inopera-tive.

C160G01A-GAT To Keep Locks from Freezing To keep the locks from freezing, squirt an approved de-icer fluid or glycerineinto the key opening. If a lock is cov- ered with ice, squirt it with an approved de-icing fluid to remove the ice. If thelock is frozen internally, you may be able to thaw it out by using a heated key. Handle the heated key with careto avoid burning your fingers. NOTE: The proper temperature for using the immobilizer key is from -40°C to80°C. If you heat the immobilizer key over 80°C to open a frozen lock, it may cause damage to the tran-sponder in its head.
C160F01A-AAT Check Spark Plugs and Ignition System Inspect your spark plugs as described in Section 6 and replace them if neces- sary. Also check all ignition wiring and components to be sure they are notcracked, worn or damaged in any way.
C160E01A-AAT Change to "Winter Weight" Oil if Necessary In some climates it is recommended that a lower viscosity "winter weight" oil be used during cold weather. SeeSection 9 for recommendations. If you aren't sure what weight oil you should use, consult your Hyundai dealer.
C160C01A-AAT
Use High Quality Ethylene Glycol Coolant Your Hyundai is delivered with high quality ethylene glycol coolant in the cooling system. It is the only type ofcoolant that should be used because it helps prevent corrosion in the cooling system, lubricates the water pump andprevents freezing. Be sure to replace or replenish your coolant in accor- dance with the maintenance schedulein Section 5. Before winter, have your coolant tested to assure that its freez- ing point is sufficient for the tempera-tures anticipated during the winter. C160D01A-DAT Check Battery and Cables Winter puts additional burdens on the battery and charging system. Visually inspect the battery and cables as de-scribed in Section 6. The level of charge in your battery can be checked by your Hyundai dealer or a service station.

CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE 4- 7
E040E01S-DAT Cleaning the Windows You may use any household window cleaner on the windows. However, when cleaning the inside of the rear window be careful not to damage the rear win-dow defroster wiring. When cleaning rear windows wipe along the defroster bars rather than across.
E050A01A-AAT Any Questions? If you have any questions about the care of your car, consult your Hyundaidealer.
E040D01A-AAT Cleaning the Seat Belts To clean the seat belts, use a cloth or sponge with mild soap or detergentand warm water. Do not use strong detergents, dye, bleach or abrasive materials on the seat belts as this mayweaken the fabric. While cleaning the belts, inspect them for excessive wear, cuts, fraying orother signs of damage and replace them if necessary.

G150A01A-GAT CHECKING STEERING WHEEL FREEPLAY To check the steering wheel freeplay, stop the car with the wheels pointed straight ahead and gently move thesteering wheel back and forth. Use very light finger pressure and be sen- sitive to changes in resistance thatmark the limits of the freeplay. If the freeplay is greater than specified, have it inspected by your Hyundai dealerand adjusted or repaired if necessary. G150A01TB

A fusible link will melt if the electrical circuits from the battery are ever over-loaded, thus preventing damage to the entire wiring harness. (This could be caused by a short in the system draw-ing too much current.) If this ever happens, have a Hyundai dealer de- termine the cause, repair the systemand replace the fusible link. The fusible links are located in a fuse box for easy inspection. CAUTION:
When replacing a fusible link, neveruse anything but a new fusible linkwith the same or lower amperage rating. Never use a piece of wire or a higher-rated fusible link. Thiscould result in serious damage and create a fire hazard.

G190A01A-GAT CHECKING DRIVE BELTS Drive belts should be checked periodi- cally for proper tension and adjusted ifnecessary. At the same time, belts should be examined for cracks, wear, fraying or other evidence of deteriora-tion and replaced if necessary. Belt routing should also be checked to be sure there is no interference be-tween the belts and other parts of the engine. After a belt is replaced, the new belt should be adjusted againafter two or three weeks to eliminate slack resulting from initial stretching after use. HTB186
