Introduction
Diesel engine
Diesel fuel
Diesel engine must be operated only
on commercially available diesel fuel
that complies with EN 590 or compa
rable standard. (EN stands for
"European Norm"). Do not use
marine diesel fuel, heating oils, or
nonapproved fuel additives, as this
will increase wear and cause dam
age to the engine and fuel system.
The use of nonapproved fuels and /
or fuel additives will result in a limita
tion of your warranty rights.
Diesel fuel of above cetane 51 is
used in your vehicle. If two types of
diesel fuel are available, use summer
or winter fuel properly according to
the following temperature conditions.
• Above 5°C (23°F) ... Summer typediesel fuel.
• Below 5°C (23°F) ... Winter type diesel fuel.
Watch the fuel level in the tank very
carefully : If the engine stops through
fuel failure, the circuits must be com
pletely purged to permit restarting.Do not let any gasoline or water
enter the tank. This would make it
necessary to drain it out and to bleed
the lines to avoid jamming the injec
tion pump and damaging the engine.
Diesel Fuel
(if equipped with DPF)
It is recommended to use the regu
lated automotive diesel fuel for diesel
vehicle equipped with the DPF sys
tem.
If you use diesel fuel including high
sulfur (more than 50 ppm sulfur) and
unspecified additives, it can cause
the DPF system to be damaged and
white smoke can be emitted.
Biodiesel
Commercially supplied Diesel blends
of no more than 7% biodiesel, com
monly known as "B7 Diesel" may be
used in your vehicle if Biodiesel
meets EN 14214 or equivalent spec
ifications. (EN stands for "European
Norm"). The use of biofuels exceed
ing 7% made from rapeseed methyl
ester (RME), fatty acid methyl ester
(FAME), vegetable oil methyl ester
(VME) etc. or mixing diesel exceed
ing 7% with biodiesel will cause
increased wear or damage to the
engine and fuel system. Repair or
replacement of worn or damaged
components due to the use of non
approved fuels will not be covered by
the manufactures warranty.
•Never use any fuel, whether
diesel, B7 biodiesel or otherwise,
that fails to meet the latest petrole
um industry specification.
•Never use any fuel additives or
treatments that are not recom
mended or approved by the vehi
cle manufacturer.

SEAT BELTS
•For maximum restraint system
protection, the seat belts must
always be used whenever the
car is moving.
•Seat belts are most effective
when seatbacks are in the
upright position.
•Children age 12 and under must
always be properly restrained in
the rear seat. Never allow chil
dren to ride in the front passen
ger seat. If a child over 12 must
be seated in the front seat,
he/she must be properly belted
and the seat should be moved
as far back as possible.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
•Never wear the shoulder belt
under your arm or behind your
back. An improperly positioned
shoulder belt can cause serious
injuries in a crash. The shoulder
belt should be positioned mid
way over your shoulder across
your collarbone.
•Never wear a seat belt over
fragile objects. If there is a sud
den stop or impact, the seat belt
can damage it.
•Avoid wearing twisted seat
belts. A twisted belt can't do its
job as well. In a collision, it could
even cut into you. Be sure the
belt webbing is straight and not
twisted.
•Be careful not to damage the
belt webbing or hardware. If the
belt webbing or hardware is
damaged, replace it.
Seat belts are designed to bear
upon the bony structure of the
body, and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis or the
pelvis, chest and shoulders, as
applicable; wearing the lap section
of the belt across the abdominal
area must be avoided.
Seat belts should be adjusted as
firmly as possible, consistent with
comfort, to provide the protection for
which they have been designed.
A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid con
tamination of the webbing with pol
ishes, oils and chemicals, and par
ticularly battery acid. Cleaning may
safely be carried out using mild
soap and water. The belt should be
replaced if webbing becomes
frayed, contaminated or damaged.

We recommend the climate control airfilter be replaced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer according to the
maintenance schedule. If the car is being driven in severe conditions such as dusty or rough roads, more frequentair conditioner filter inspections and
changes are required.
If the air flow rate suddenly decreases,we recommend the system be checked
