Introduction
Gasoline containing alcohol ormethanol
Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and
ethanol (also known as grain alco-
hol) are being marketed along with or
instead of leaded or unleaded gaso-
line. For example, "E15" is a gasohol
comprised of 15% ethanol and 85%
gasoline.
Do not use gasohol containing more
than 15% ethanol, and do not use
gasoline or gasohol containing any
methanol. Either of these fuels may
cause drivability problems and dam-
age to the fuel system, engine control
system and emission control system.
Discontinue using gasohol of any
kind if drivability problems occur.
"E85" fuel is an alternative fuel com-
prised of 85 percent ethanol and 15
percent gasoline, and is manufac-
tured exclusively for use in Flexible
Fuel Vehicles. "E85" is not compati-
ble with your vehicle. Use of "E85"
may result in poor engine perform-
ance and damage to your vehicle's
engine and fuel system. HYUNDAI
recommends that customers do not
use fuel with an ethanol content
exceeding 15 percent.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
To prevent damage to your vehicle’s
engine and fuel system:
• Never use gasohol which contains
methanol.
• Never use gasohol containing more than 15% ethanol.
• Never use leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.
• Never use "E85" fuel.
Your New Vehicle Limited
Warranty does not cover damage to
the fuel system or any performance
problems caused by the use of
"E85" fuel.
Other fuels
Using fuels such as;
- Silicone (Si) 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.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Damage to the fuel system or per-
formance problem caused by the use
of these fuels may not be covered by
your New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.

Gasoline containing MMT
Some gasoline contains harmful
manganese-based fuel additives
such as MMT
(Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese
Tricarbonyl).
HYUNDAI does not recommend the
use of gasoline containing MMT.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicle
performance and affect your emis-
sion control system.
The malfunction indicator lamp on
the cluster may come on.
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.
✽ ✽NOTICE
Your New Vehicle Limited
Warranty may not cover damage to
the fuel system and any perform-
ance problems that are caused by
the use of fuels containing methanol.
Fuel Additives
HYUNDAI recommends that you use
good quality gasolines treated with
detergent additives such as TOP
TIER Detergent Gasoline, which
help prevent deposit formation in the
engine. These gasolines will help the
engine run cleaner and enhance per-
formance of the Emission Control
System. For more information on
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline,
please go to the website (www.top-
tiergas.com)
For customers who do not use TOP
Tier Detergent Gasoline regularly,
and have problems starting their
vehicle or the engine does not run
smoothly, additives that you can buy
separately may be added to the
gasoline.
If TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is
not available, one bottle of additive
added to the fuel tank at every
7,500mile or every engine oil change
is recommended. Additives are avail-
able from your authorized HYUNDAI
dealer along with information on how
to use them. Do not mix other addi-
tives.

Securing a child restraint seat withchild seat lower anchor system
Some child seat manufacturers
make child restraint seats that are
labeled as LATCH or LATCH-com-
patible child restraint seats. LATCH
stands for "Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children". These seats
include two rigid or webbing mount-
ed attachments that connect to two
LATCH anchors at specific seating
positions in your vehicle. This type of
child restraint seat eliminates the
need to use seat belts to attach the
child seat in the rear seats. Child restraint symbols are located
on the left and right rear seat backs
to indicate the position of the lower
anchors for child restraints.

check
Check that the child restraint
system is secure by pushing
and pulling it in different direc-
tions. Incorrectly fitted child
restraints may swing, twist, tip
or separate causing death or
serious injury.
WARNING - Child restraint
anchorage
Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only
those loads imposed by cor-
rectly fitted child restraints.
Under no circumstances are
they to be used for adult seat
belts or harnesses or for
attaching other items or
equipment to the vehicle.
The tether strap may not work properly if attached some-
where other than the correct
tether anchor.
WARNING - Unused rear
seatbelts
Always fasten the seatbelts
behind the child restraint seat
when they are not used to
secure the child seat. Failure to
do so may result in child stran-
gulation.

Do not install a child restraint on
the front passenger’s seat
Never place a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger’s
seat. If the air bag deploys, it would
impact the rear-facing child restraint,
causing serious or fatal injury.
In addition, do not place front-facing
child restraints in the front passen-
ger’s seat either. If the front passen-
ger air bag inflates, it could cause
serious or fatal injuries to the child.
Air bag warning light
The purpose of the air bag warning
light in your instrument panel is to
alert you of a potential problem with
your airbag system, which includes
side and/or curtain airbags used for
rollover protection.
When the ignition switch is turned
ON, the indicator light should illumi-
nate for approximately 6 seconds,
then go off.

WARNING - Air bag
deployment
When children are seated in the
rear outboard seats of a vehicle
equipped with side and/or cur-
tain air bags, install the child
restraint system as far away
from the door side as possible.
Inflation of the side and/or cur-
tain air bags could cause seri-
ous injury or death to an infant
or child.

Safety features of your vehicle
Your vehicle is equipped with an
occupant classification system in the
front passenger's seat.
The occupant classification system
is designed to detect the presence of
a properly-seated front passenger
and determine if the passenger's
front air bag should be enabled (may
inflate) or not. The driver's front air
bag is not affected or controlled by
the occupant classification system.
Main components of occupant
classification system
A detection device located withinthe front passenger seat cushion.
Electronic system to determine whether the front passenger air
bag system should be activated or
deactivated.
An indicator light located on the instrument panel which illuminates
the words PASS AIR BAG "OFF"
indicating the front passenger air
bag system is deactivated.
The instrument panel air bag indi- cator light is interconnected with
the occupant classification system. If the front passenger seat is occu-
pied by a person that the system
determines to be of adult size, and
he/she sits properly (sitting upright
with the seatback in an upright posi-
tion, centered on the seat cushion
with their seat belt on, legs comfort-
ably extended and their feet on the
floor), the PASS AIR BAG "OFF"
indicator will be turned off and the
front passenger's air bag will be able
to inflate, if necessary, in frontal
crashes.
You will find the PASS AIR BAG
"OFF" indicator on the center facia
panel. This system detects the condi-
tions 1~4 in the following table and
activates or deactivates the front
passenger air bag based on these
conditions.
Always be sure that you and all vehi-
cle occupants are seated and
restrained properly (sitting upright
with the seat in an upright position,
centered on the seat cushion, with
the person's legs comfortably
extended, feet on the floor, and wear-
ing the safety belt properly) for the
most effective protection by the air
bag and the safety belt. The OCS may not function proper-
ly if the passenger takes actions
which can affect the classification
system. 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 in 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
depending on his/her physique
and posture.
*2) Do not allow children to ride in the front passenger seat. When a
larger child who has outgrown a
child restraint system sits in the
front passenger seat, the system
may recognize him/her as an
adult depending upon his/her
physique or sitting position.
*3) Never install a child restraint sys- tem on the front passenger seat. *4) The PASS AIR BAG "OFF" indi-
cator may turn on or off when a
child above 12 months to 12
years old (with or without child
restraint system) sits in the front
passenger seat. This is a normal
condition.
WARNING - OCS system
Riding in an improper position
adversely affects the occupant
classification system (OCS) and
may result in the deactivation of
front passenger airbag. It is
important for the driver to
instruct the passenger as to the
proper seating instructions as
contained in this manual. (Continued)

When an adult is seated in the front
passenger seat, if the PASS AIR
BAG “OFF” indicator is on, turn the
ignition switch to the LOCK or OFF
position and ask the passenger to sit
properly (sitting upright with the seat
back in an upright position, centered
on the seat cushion with their seat
belt on, legs comfortably extended
and their feet on the floor). Restart
the engine and have the person
remain in that position. This will allow
the system to detect the person and
to enable the passenger air bag. If the PASS AIR BAG "OFF" indicator
is still on, ask the passenger to move
to the rear seat.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
The PASS AIR BAG "OFF" indica-
tor illuminates for about 4 seconds
after the ignition switch is turned to
the ON position or after the engine is
started. If the front passenger seat is
occupied, the occupant classification
sensor will then classify the front pas-
senger after several more seconds.

Proper position
WARNING
Do not hang onto the front pas-
senger seat. Do not hang any
items, such as a seatback table
or entertainment system, on the
front passenger seatback. Do
not place feet on the front pas-
senger seatback. Do not place
any items under the front pas-
senger seat. Any of these could
interfere with proper sensor
operation.
WARNING - AIR BAG
"OFF" light
Do not allow an adult passenger
to ride in the front seat when the
PASS AIR BAG “OFF” indicator
is illuminated, because the air
bag will not deploy in the event
of a crash. The driver must
instruct the passenger to repo-
sition himself in the seat.
Failure to properly position
yourself may lead to airbag
deactivation resulting in airbag
non-deployment in a collision. If
the PASS AIR BAG “OFF” indi-
cator remains illuminated after
the passenger repositions
themselves properly and the
vehicle is restarted, it is recom-
mended the passenger move to
the rear seat because the pas-
senger's front air bag will not
deploy.
