Introduction
Other fuels
Using fuels such as;
- Silicone (Si) contained fuel,
- MMT (Manganese, Mn) contained
fuel,
- Ferrocene (Fe) contained fuel, and
- Other metallic additives contained
fuels,
may cause vehicle and engine dam-
age or cause plugging, misfiring,
poor acceleration, engine stalling,
catalyst melting, abnormal corrosion,
life cycle reduction, etc.
Also, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) may illuminate.Damage to the fuel system or per-
formance problem caused by the
use of these fuels may not be cov-
ered by your New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
Use of MTBE
HYUNDAI recommends avoiding
fuels containing MTBE (Methyl
Tertiary Butyl Ether) over 15.0% vol.
(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) in
your vehicle.
Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0%
vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight)
may reduce vehicle performance and
produce vapour lock or hard starting.
Do not use methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood
alcohol) should not be used in your
vehicle. This type of fuel can reduce
vehicle performance and damage
components of the fuel system,
engine control system and emission
control system.
Fuel Additives
HYUNDAI recommends that you use
unleaded fuel having an Octane
Rating of RON (Research Octane
Number) 91 / AKI (Anti-Knock Index)
87 or higher.
For customers who do not use good
quality petrols including fuel addi-
tives regularly, and have problems
starting or the engine does not run
smoothly, add one bottle of additives
to the fuel tank every 15,000 km.
Additives are available from your
authorised HYUNDAI dealer along
with information on how to use them.
Do not mix other additives.
NOTICE
Your New Vehicle Limited
Warranty may not cover dam-
age to the fuel system and any
performance problems that are
caused by the use of fuels con-
taining methanol or fuels con-
taining MTBE (Methyl Tertiary
Butyl Ether) over 15.0% vol.
(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight.)
CAUTION
Never use fuel which contains
methanol. Discontinue use of
any petrol containing ethanol
which impairs drivability.

■Type A
■Type B

To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from an inflating
air bag, take the following pre-
cautions:
•Adjust the driver’s seat as far
to the rear as possible whilst
maintaining the ability to main-
tain full control of the vehicle.
•Adjust the front passenger
seat as far to the rear as possi-
ble.

Safety precautions
Adjusting the seats so that you are sit-
ting in a safe, comfortable position
plays an important role in driver and
passenger safety together with the
seat belts and air bags in an accident.
Air bags
You can take steps to reduce the risk
of being injured by an inflating air
bag. Sitting too close to an air bag
greatly increases the risk of injury in
the event the air bag inflates. Move
your seat as far back as possible
from front air bags, whilst still main-
taining control of the vehicle.
Do not use a cushion that
reduces friction between the seat
and the passenger. The passen-
ger's hips may slide under the
lap portion of the seat belt during
an accident or a sudden stop.
Serious or fatal internal injuries
could result because the seat
belt cannot operate properly.
WARNING
(Continued)
•Hold the steering wheel by the
rim with hands at the 9 o’clock
and 3 o’clock positions to min-
imise the risk of injuries to
your hands and arms.
•NEVER place anything
between anyone and an
airbag.
•Do not allow the front passen-
ger to place feet or legs on the
instrument panel to minimise
the risk of leg injuries.

Manual adjustment
Forward and rearward adjustment
To move the seat forward or rearward:
1. Pull up the seat slide adjustment
lever and hold it.
2. Slide the seat to the position you
desire.
3. Release the lever and make sure
the seat is locked in place. Attempt
to move the seat forward and rear-
ward without using the lever. If the
seat moves, it is not locked proper-
ly.
2
To prevent injury:
•Do not adjust your seat whilst
wearing your seat belt.
Moving the seat cushion for-
ward may cause strong pres-
sure on your abdomen.
•Do not allow your hands or
fingers to get caught in the
seat mechanisms whilst the
seat is moving.
CAUTION(Continued)
•Do not allow anything to inter-
fere with the normal position
and proper locking of the seat-
back.
•Do not place a cigarette lighter
on the floor or seat. When you
operate the seat, gas may exit
out of the lighter causing a fire.
•Use extreme caution when
picking small objects trapped
under the seats or between the
seat and the centre console.
Your hands might be cut or
injured by the sharp edges of
the seat mechanism.
•If there are occupants in the
rear seats, be careful whilst
adjusting the front seat posi-
tion.

Seatback angle
To recline the seatback:
1. Lean forward slightly and lift up the
seatback lever.
2. Carefully lean back on the seat
and adjust the seatback to the
position you desire.
3. Release the lever and make sure
the seatback is locked in place.
(The lever MUST return to its orig-
inal position for the seatback to
lock.)Reclining seatback
Sitting in a reclined position when
the vehicle is in motion can be dan-
gerous. Even when buckled up, the
protections of your restraint system
(seat belts and/or air bags) are great-
ly reduced by reclining your seat-
back.Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly.
When the seatback is reclined, the
shoulder belt cannot do its job
because it will not be snug against
your chest. Instead, it will be in front
of you. During an accident, you could
be thrown into the seat belt, causing
neck or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,
the greater chance the passenger’s
hips will slide under the lap belt or
the passenger’s neck will strike the
shoulder belt.
Safety system of your vehicle
OLF034003/HNEVER ride with a reclined
seatback when the vehicle is
moving.
Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of seri-
ous or fatal injuries in the event
of a collision or sudden stop.
Drivers and passengers should
ALWAYS sit well back in their
seats, properly restrained, and
with the seatbacks upright.

3. Pull on the seatback folding lever
(1) located in the boot.4. Fold the seatback toward the front
of the vehicle.
5. To use the rear seat, lift and pull
the seatback rearward. Pull the
seatback firmly until it clicks into
place. Make sure the seatback is
locked in place.
When you return the seatback to
its upright position, always be sure
it has locked into position by push-
ing on the top of the seatback.

OLF034024OLF034027
Do not place objects in the rear
seats, since they cannot be
properly secured and may hit
vehicle occupants in a collision
causing serious injury or death.
WARNING
When returning the rear seat-
back from a folded to an upright
position, hold the seatback and
return it slowly. Ensure that the
seatback is completely locked
into its upright position by
pushing on the top of the seat-
back. In an accident or sudden
stop, the unlocked seatback
could allow cargo to move for-
ward with great force and enter
the passenger compartment,
which could result in serious
injury or death.

Headrest
The vehicle’s front and rear seats
have adjustable headrests. The head-
rests provide comfort for passengers,
but more importantly they are
designed to help protect passengers
from whiplash and other neck and
spinal injuries during an accident,
especially in a rear impact collision.
•Be careful when loading
cargo through the rear pas-
senger seats to prevent dam-
age to the vehicle interior.
•When cargo is loaded through
the rear passenger seats,
ensure the cargo is properly
secured to prevent it from
moving while driving.
•Unsecured cargo in the pas-
senger compartment can
cause damage to the vehicle
or injury to its occupants.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death in an accident,
take the following precautions
when adjusting your headrests:
•Always properly adjust the
headrests for all passengers
BEFORE starting the vehicle.
•NEVER let anyone ride in a seat
with the headrest removed.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•
Adjust the headrests so the
middle of the headrests is at
the same height as the height
of the top of the eyes.
•NEVER adjust the headrest
position of the driver’s seat
when the vehicle is in motion.
•Adjust the headrest as close
to the passenger’s head as
possible. Do not use a seat
cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback.
•Make sure the headrest locks
into position after adjusting it.
