Seat belt precautionsInfant or small child
All 50 states have child restraint
laws. You should be aware of the
specific requirements in your state.
Child and/or infant seats must be
properly placed and installed in the
rear seat. For more information
about the use of these restraints,
refer to “Child restraint system” in this
section.
WARNING
All occupants of the vehicle
must wear their seat belts at all
times. Seat belts and child
restraints reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injuries for all
occupants in the event of a col-
lision or sudden stop. Without a
seat belt, occupants could be
shifted too close to a deploying
air bag, strike the interior struc-
ture or be thrown from the vehi-
cle. Properly worn seat belts
greatly reduce these hazards.
Even with advanced air bags,
unbelted occupants can be
severely injured by a deploying
air bag.
Always follow the precautions
about seat belts, air bags and
occupant seating contained in
this manual.
WARNING
Every person in your vehicle
needs to be properly restrained
at all times, including infants
and children. Never hold a child
in your arms or lap when riding
in a vehicle. The violent forces
created during a crash will tear
the child from your arms and
throw the child against the inte-
rior. Always use a child restraint
appropriate for your child's
height and weight.
(Continued)
Improper handling of the pre-
tensioner seat belt assem-
blies, and failure to heed the
warnings not to strike, modify,
inspect, replace, service or
repair the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies may lead to
improper operation or inad-
vertent activation and serious
injury.
Always wear the seat belts
when driving or riding in a
motor vehicle.
If the vehicle or pre-tensioner
seat belt must be discarded,
contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

NOTICE
Small children are best protected
from injury in an accident when
properly restrained in the rear seat
by a child restraint system that
meets the requirements of the
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards. Before buying any child
restraint system, make sure that it
has a label certifying that it meets
Federal 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.
Refer to “Child restraint system” in
this section.
Larger children
Children who are too large for child
restraint systems should always
occupy the rear seat and use the
available lap/shoulder belts. The lap
portion should be fastened and
snugged on the hips and as low as
possible. Check if the belt fits period-
ically. A child's squirming could put
the belt out of position. Children are
given 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
12) must be seated in the front seat,
the child should be securely
restrained by the available lap/shoul-
der belt and the seat should be
placed in the rearmost position.
Children age 12 and under should be
restrained securely in the rear seat.
NEVER place a child age 12 and
under in the front seat. NEVER place
a rear facing child seat in the front
seat of a vehicle.If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches the child’s neck or face, try
placing the child closer to the center of
the vehicle. If the shoulder belt still
touches their face or neck they need to
be returned to a child restraint system.
WARNING- Shoulder
belts on small children
Never allow a shoulder belt to
be in contact with a child’s
neck or face while the vehicle
is in motion.
If seat belts are not properly
worn and adjusted on chil-
dren, there is a risk of death or
serious injury.

Safety features of your vehicle
Once you have installed the LATCH
child restraint, assure that the seat is
properly attached to the LATCH and
tether anchors.
Also, test the child restraint seat
before you place the child in it. Tilt
the seat from side to side. Also try to
tug the seat forward. Check to see if
the anchors hold the seat in place.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
The recommended weight for the
LATCH system is under 65 lbs (30
kg).
How to calculate the child restraint
weight :
Child restraint weight =
65 lbs (30 kg) - Child weight
WARNING
If the child restraint is not
anchored properly, the risk of a
child being seriously injured or
killed in a collision greatly
increases.
WARNING - LATCH lower
anchors
LATCH lower anchors are only
to be used with the left and right
rear outboard seating positions.
WARNING
When using the vehicle's
"LATCH" system to install a
child restraint system in the
rear seat, all unused vehicle
rear seat belt metal latch plates
or tabs must be latched secure-
ly in their seat belt buckles and
the seat belt webbing must be
retracted behind the child
restraint to prevent the child
from reaching and taking hold
of unretracted seat belts.
Unlatched metal latch plates or
tabs may allow the child to
reach the unretracted seat belts
which may result in strangula-
tion and a serious injury or
death to the child in the child
restraint.
CAUTION
Do not allow the rear seat belt
webbing to get scratched or
pinched by the child-seat latch
and LATCH anchor during the
installation.

Always be sure that you and all vehi-
cle occupants are seated and
restrained properly (sitting upright with
the seat in an upright position, cen-
tered on the seat cushion, with the
person's legs comfortably extended,
feet on the floor, and wearing the safe-
ty belt properly) for the most effective
protection by the air bag and the safe-
ty belt.
The OCS may not function proper-
ly if the passenger takes actions
which can affect the detection sys-
tem. These include:
(1) Failing to sit in an upright posi-
tion.
(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 loca-
tions which reduce the passen-
ger weight on the front seat.
(5) Improperly wearing the safety
belt.
(6) Reclining the seat back.Condition and operation of the front passenger occupant classification
system
*1) The system judges a person of
adult size as an adult. When a
smaller adult sits in the front pas-
senger seat, the system may rec-
ognize him/her as a child depend-
ing on his/her physique and pos-
ture.
*2) Do not allow children to ride in the
front passenger seat. When a
smaller child than the same age
sits in the front passenger seat,
the system may recognize
him/her as an infant depending on
his/her physique or posture.*3) Never install a child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat.
WARNING
Riding in an improper position
or placing weight on the front
passenger's seat when it is
unoccupied by a passenger
adversely affects the occupant
classification system (OCS).

Air bags can only be used
once – have an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer replace the
air bag immediately after
deployment.
A smaller-stature adult who is
not seated correctly (for exam-
ple: seat excessively reclined,
leaning on the door or center
console, or hips shifted for-
ward in the seat) can cause a
condition where the advanced
frontal air bag system senses
less weight than if the occu-
pant were seated properly (sit-
ting upright with the seatback
in an upright position, cen-
tered on the seat cushion with
their seat belt on, legs com-
fortably extended and their
feet on the floor).
This condition can result in an
adult potentially being mis-
classified and illumination of
the PASSENGER AIR BAG
"OFF" indicator.(Continued)
Do not modify or replace the
front passenger seat. Don't
place anything on or attach
anything such as a blanket or
seat heater to the front passen-
ger seat. This can adversely
affect the occupant classifica-
tion system.
Do not sit on sharp objects
such as tools when occupying
the front passenger seat. This
can adversely affect the occu-
pant classification system.
Do not use accessory seat cov-
ers on the front seats.
Accident statistics show that
children are safer if they are
restrained in the rear, as
opposed to the front seat. It is
recommended that child
restraints be secured in a rear
seat, including an infant riding
in a rear-facing infant seat, a
child riding in a forward-facing
child seat and an older child
riding in a booster seat.
(Continued)WARNING
Even though your vehicle is
equipped with the occupant
classification system, never
install a child restraint system
in the front passenger's seat.
A deploying air bag can force-
fully strike a child resulting in
serious injuries or death. Any
child age 12 and under should
ride in the rear seat. Children
too large for child restraints
should use the available
lap/shoulder belts. No matter
what type of crash, children of
all ages are safer when
restrained in the rear seat.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG
"OFF" indicator is illuminated
when the front passenger's
seat is occupied by an adult
and he/she sits properly (sit-
ting upright with the seatback
in an upright position, centered
on the seat cushion with their
seat belt on, legs comfortably
extended and their feet on the
floor), have that person sit in
the rear seat.

Driving your vehicle
Your vehicle's fuel economy depends
mainly on your style of driving, where
you drive and when you drive.
Each of these factors affects how
many miles (kilometers) you can get
from a gallon (liter) of fuel. To operate
your vehicle as economically as possi-
ble, use the following driving sugges-
tions to help save money in both fuel
and repairs:
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a mod-
erate rate. Don't make "jack-rabbit"
starts or full-throttle shifts and main-
tain a steady cruising speed. Don't
race between stoplights. Try to adjust
your speed to that of the other traffic
so you don't have to change speeds
unnecessarily. Avoid heavy traffic
whenever possible. Always maintain
a safe distance from other vehicles
so you can avoid unnecessary brak-
ing. This also reduces brake wear.
Drive at a moderate speed. The
faster you drive the more fuel your
vehicle uses. Driving at a moderate
speed, in the highest gear appropri-
ate for the conditions, especially on
the highway, is one of the most effec-
tive ways to reduce fuel consump-
tion. Don't "ride" the brake or clutch
pedal. This can increase fuel con-
sumption and also increase wear
on these components. In addition,
driving with your foot resting on the
brake pedal may cause the brakes
to overheat, which reduces their
effectiveness and may lead to
more serious consequences.
Take care of your tires. Keep them
inflated to the recommended pres-
sure. Incorrect inflation, either too
much or too little, results in unnec-
essary tire wear. Check the tire
pressures at least once a month.
Be sure that the wheels are
aligned correctly. Improper align-
ment can result from hitting curbs
or driving too fast over irregular
surfaces. Poor alignment causes
faster tire wear and may also result
in other problems as well as
greater fuel consumption. Keep your car in good condition.
For better fuel economy and
reduced maintenance costs, main-
tain your car in accordance with
the maintenance schedule in sec-
tion 7. If you drive your car in
severe conditions, more frequent
maintenance is required (see sec-
tion 7 for details).
Keep your car clean. For maximum
service, your vehicle should be
kept clean and free of corrosive
materials. It is especially important
that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be
allowed to accumulate on the
underside of the car. This extra
weight can result in increased fuel
consumption and also contribute to
corrosion.
Travel lightly. Don't carry unneces-
sary weight in your car. Weight
reduces fuel economy.
Don't let the engine idle longer
than necessary. If you are waiting
(and not in traffic), turn off your
engine and restart only when
you're ready to go.
ECONOMICAL OPERATION

Driving your vehicle
50 5
Use high quality ethylene gly-
col coolant
Your vehicle is delivered with high
quality ethylene glycol coolant in the
cooling system. It is the only type of
coolant that should be used because
it helps prevent corrosion in the cool-
ing system, lubricates the water
pump and prevents freezing. Be sure
to replace or replenish your coolant
in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in section 7. Before winter,
have your coolant tested to assure
that its freezing point is sufficient for
the temperatures anticipated during
the winter.
Check battery and cables
Winter puts additional burdens on
the battery system. Visually inspect
the battery and cables as described
in section 7. The level of charge in
your battery can be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a
service station.
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. See
section 8 for recommendations. If
you aren't sure what weight oil you
should use, consult an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Check spark plugs and igni-
tion system
Inspect your spark plugs as
described in section 7 and replace
them if necessary. Also check all
ignition wiring and components to be
sure they are not cracked, worn or
damaged in any way.
WARNING- Tire chains
The use of chains may
adversely affect vehicle han-
dling.
Do not exceed 20 mph (30
km/h) or the chain manufac-
turer’s recommended speed
limit, whichever is lower.
Drive carefully and avoid
bumps, holes, sharp turns,
and other road hazards, which
may cause the vehicle to
bounce.
Avoid sharp turns or locked-
wheel braking.
CAUTION
Chains that are the wrong size
or improperly installed can
damage your vehicle's brake
lines, suspension, body and
wheels.
Stop driving and retighten the
chains any time you hear them
hitting the vehicle.
