printed on the key code tag attached
to the key set. Should you lose your
keys, this number will enable an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer to dupli-
cate the keys easily. Remove the key
code tag and store it in a safe place.
Also, record the key code number
and keep it in a safe place (not in the
vehicle).

KEYS
WARNING -Ignition key
(Smart key)
Leaving children unattended in
a vehicle with the ignition key
(smart key) is dangerous even if
the key is not in the ignition
switch or the ENGINE
START/STOP button is ACC or
ON position. Children copy
adults and they could place the
key in the ignition switch or
press the ENGINE START/STOP
button. The ignition key (smart
key) would enable children to
operate power windows or
other controls, or even make
the vehicle move, which could
result in serious bodily injury or
even death. Never leave the
keys in your vehicle with unsu-
pervised children, when the
Engine is running.
WARNING
Use only HYUNDAI original
parts for the ignition key in your
vehicle. If an aftermarket key is
used, the ignition switch may
not return to ON after START. If
this happens, the starter will
continue to operate causing
damage to the starter motor
and possible fire due to exces-
sive current in the wiring.

WARNING- Unlocked
vehicles
Leaving your vehicle unlocked
can invite theft or possible harm
to you or others from someone
hiding in your vehicle while you
are gone. Always remove the
ignition key, engage the parking
brake, close all windows and
lock all doors when leaving
your vehicle unattended.
WARNING- Unattended children
An enclosed vehicle can
become extremely hot, causing
death or severe injury to unat-
tended children or animals who
cannot escape the vehicle.
Furthermore, children might
operate features of the vehicle
that could injure them, or they
could encounter other harm,
possibly from someone gaining
entry to the vehicle. Never leave
children or animals unattended
in your vehicle.
WARNING - Doors
The doors should always be fully closed and locked while
the vehicle is in motion to pre-
vent accidental opening of the
door. Locked doors will also
discourage potential intruders
when the vehicle stops or
slows.
Be careful when opening doors and watch for vehicles,
motorcycles, bicycles or
pedestrians approaching the
vehicle in the path of the door.
Opening a door when some-
thing is approaching can
cause damage or injury.

Features of your vehicle
Emergency trunk safety
release
Your vehicle is equipped with an
emergency trunk release cable locat-
ed inside the trunk. The lever glows
in the dark when the trunk lid is
closed. If someone is inadvertently
locked in the trunk, pulling this han-
dle will release the trunk latch mech-
anism and open the trunk.
OBK042008
WARNING
No one should be allowed tooccupy the trunk of the vehi-
cle at any time. If the trunk is
partially or totally latched and
the person is unable to get
out, severe injury or death
could occur due to lack of
ventilation, exhaust fumes
and rapid heat build-up, or
because of exposure to cold
weather conditions. The trunk
is also a highly dangerous
location in the event of a
crash because it is not a pro-
tected occupant space but is
a part of the vehicle’s crush
zone.
Your vehicle should be kept locked and keys be kept out of
the reach of children. Parents
should teach their children
about the dangers of playing
in trunks.

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
