❈The actual air bags in the vehicle may differ
from the illustration.
Curtain air bag
Curtain air bags are located along
both sides of the roof rails above the
doors.
They are designed to help protect
the heads of the front seat occupants
in certain side impact collisions.The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy only during certain side
impact collisions, depending on the
crash severity, angle, speed and
impact. The curtain air bags 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
In order for side and curtain
air bags to provide the best
protection, both front seat
occupants should sit in an
upright position with the seat
belts properly fastened.
Children should sit in a prop-
er child restraint system in the
rear seat.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Do not allow the passengers
to lean their heads or bodies
onto doors, put their arms on
the doors, stretch their arms
out of the window, or place
objects between the doors
and passengers when they are
seated on seats equipped with
side and/or curtain air bags.
Never try to open or repair any
components of the side cur-
tain air bag system. This
should only be done by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Failure to follow the above
instructions can result in injury
or death to the vehicle occu-
pants in an accident.

Additional safety precautions
Never let passengers ride in the
cargo area 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.
Passengers should not move
out of or change seats while the
vehicle is moving.A passenger
who is not wearing a seat belt dur-
ing a crash or emergency stop can
be thrown against the inside of the
vehicle, against other occupants,
or out of the vehicle.
Each seat belt is designed to
restrain one occupant.If more
than one person uses the same
seat belt, they could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision.
Do not use any accessories on
seat belts.Devices claiming to
improve occupant comfort or repo-
sition the seat belt can reduce the
protection provided by the seat belt
and increase the chance of serious
injury in a crash.Passengers should not place
hard or sharp objects between
themselves and the air bags.
Carrying hard or sharp objects on
your lap or in your mouth can result
in injuries if an air bag inflates.
Keep occupants away from the
air bag covers.All occupants
should sit upright, fully back in their
seats with their seat belts on and
their feet on the floor. If occupants
are too close to the air bag covers,
they could be injured if the air bags
inflate.
Do not attach or place objects
on or near the air bag covers.
Any object attached to or placed
on the front or side air bag covers
could interfere with the proper
operation of the air bags.
Do not modify the front seats.
Modification of the front seats
could interfere with the operation of
the supplemental restraint system
sensing components or side air
bags.Do not place items under the
front seats.Placing items under
the front seats could interfere with
the operation of the supplemental
restraint system sensing compo-
nents and wiring harnesses.
Never hold an infant or child on
your lap.The infant or child could
be seriously injured or killed in the
event of a crash. All infants and chil-
dren should be properly restrained
in appropriate child safety seats or
seat belts in the rear seat.

Before starting
Close and lock all doors.
Position the seat so that all con-
trols are easily reached.
Adjust the inside and outside
rearview mirrors.
Be sure that all lights work.
Check all gauges.
Check the operation of warning
lights when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position.
Release the parking brake and
make sure the brake warning light
goes out.
For safe operation, be sure you are
familiar with your vehicle and its
equipment.

WARNING
When you intend to park or
stop the vehicle with the
engine on, be careful not to
depress the accelerator pedal
for a long period of time. It may
overheat the engine or exhaust
system and cause a fire.
When you make a sudden stop
or turn the steering wheel rap-
idly, loose objects may drop on
the floor and it could interfere
with the operation of the foot
pedals, possibly causing an
accident. Keep all things in the
vehicle safely stored.
If you do not focus on driving,
it may cause an accident. Be
careful when operating what
may disturb driving such as
audio or heater. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
always drive safely.
WARNING
All passengers must be proper-
ly belted whenever the vehicle
is moving. Refer to “Seat belts”
in section 3 for more informa-
tion on their proper use.
WARNING- Driving under
the influence of alcohol or
drugs
Drinking and driving is danger-
ous. Drunk driving is the num-
ber one contributor to the high-
way death toll each year. Even a
small amount of alcohol will
affect your reflexes, percep-
tions and judgment. Driving
while under the influence of
drugs is as dangerous or more
dangerous than driving drunk.
You are much more likely to
have a serious accident if you
drink or take drugs and drive.
If you are drinking or taking
drugs, don’t drive. Do not ride
with a driver who has been drink-
ing or taking drugs. Choose a
designated driver or call a cab.
WARNING
Always check the surrounding
areas near your vehicle for peo-
ple, especially children, before
putting a car into D (Drive) or R
(Reverse).

PCM (Powertrain Control Module).
For smooth operation, depress the
brake pedal when shifting from N
(Neutral) to a forward or reverse
gear.
WARNING- Automatic

Always check the surrounding
areas near your vehicle for
people, especially children,
before shifting a car into D
(Drive) or R (Reverse).
Before leaving the driver’s
seat, always make sure the
shift lever is in the P (Park)
position; then set the parking
brake fully and shut the
engine off. Unexpected and
sudden vehicle movement
can occur if these precautions
are not followed in the order
identified.CAUTION
To avoid damage to your
transmission, do not acceler-
ate the engine in R (Reverse)
or any forward gear position
with the brakes on.
When stopped on an incline,
do not hold the vehicle sta-
tionary with engine power.

Driving your vehicle
Transmission ranges
The indicator in the instrument cluster
displays the shift lever position when
the ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion.
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into P (Park). This posi-
tion locks the transmission and pre-
vents the drive wheels from rotating.R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
backward.
N (Neutral)
The wheels and transmission are not
engaged. The vehicle will roll freely
even on the slightest incline unless
the parking brake or service brakes
are applied.(Continued)
Before leaving the driver’s
seat, always make sure the
shift lever is in the P (Park)
position. Set the parking
brake fully, shut the engine off
and take the key with you.
Unexpected and sudden vehi-
cle movement can occur if
you do not follow these pre-
cautions in the order speci-
fied.
WARNING
Shifting into P (Park) while the
vehicle is in motion will cause
the drive wheels to lock which
will cause you to lose control
of the vehicle.
Do not use the P (Park) posi-
tion in place of the parking
brake. Always make sure the
shift lever is latched in the P
(Park) position and set the
parking brake fully.
Never leave a child unattend-
ed in a vehicle.
(Continued)CAUTION
The transmission may be dam-
aged if you shift into P (Park)
while the vehicle is in motion.
CAUTION

before shifting into or out of R
(Reverse); you may damage the
transmission if you shift into R
while the vehicle is in motion,
except as explained in “Rocking
the vehicle” in this section.

WARNING
Overloading your vehicle can
cause heat buildup in your
vehicle's tires and possible
tire failure that could lead to a
crash.
Overloading your vehicle can
cause increased stopping dis-
tances that could lead to a
crash.
A crash resulting from poor
handling, vehicle damage, tire
failure, or increased stopping
distances could result in seri-
ous injury or death.
WARNING - Loose cargo
Items you carry inside your
vehicle can strike and injure
occupants in a sudden stop or
turn, or in a crash.
Put items in the cargo area of
your vehicle. Try to spread the

ponents to get added durability
might not change your weight
ratings. Ask your dealer to help
you load your vehicle the right
way.
