Introduction
NOTICE indicates a situation
which, if not avoided, could result
in vehicle damage.
Gasoline engine
Unleaded
Your new vehicle is designed to use
only unleaded fuel having an Octane
Rating of RON (Research Octane
Number) 91 / AKI (Anti-Knock Index)
87 or higher.
Your new vehicle is designed to
obtain maximum performance with
UNLEADED FUEL, as well as mini-
mize exhaust emissions and spark
plug fouling.
Leaded (if equipped)
For some countries, your vehicle is
designed to use leaded gasoline.
When you are going to use leaded
gasoline, we recommend that you
ask an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
whether leaded gasoline in your
vehicle is available or not.
Octane Rating of leaded gasoline is
same with unleaded one.
NOTICE
NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The
use of leaded fuel is detrimental
to the catalytic converter and
will damage the engine control
system’s oxygen sensor and
affect emission control.
Never add any fuel system
cleaning agents to the fuel tank
other than what has been speci-
fied (We recommend that you
consult an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer for details.)
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided,

Loose objects
Loose objects in the driver’s
foot area could interfere with
the operation of the foot pedals,
possibly causing an accident.
Do not place anything under the
front seats.
WARNING
Uprighting seat
When you return the seatback
to its upright position, hold the
seatback and return it slowly
and be sure there are no other
occupants around the seat. If
the seatback is returned with-
out being held and controlled,
the back of the seat could move
forward or backward resulting
in accidental injury to a person
struck by the seatback.
WARNING
Driver responsibility for passen-
gers
Riding in a vehicle with seatback
reclined could lead to serious or
fatal injury in an accident. If a
seat is reclined during an acci-
dent, the occupant’s hips may
slide under the lap portion of the
seat belt applying great force to
the unprotected abdomen. The
protection of your restraint sys-
tem (seat belt and air bags) is
greatly reduced by reclining your
seat. Serious or fatal internal
injuries could result. The driver
must advise the passenger to
keep the seatback in an upright
position whenever the vehicle is
in motion.
WARNING
Do not use a sitting cushion
that reduces friction between
the seat and passenger. The
passenger'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 can't
operate normally.
WARNING

Driver’s seat
Never attempt to adjust seat
while the vehicle is moving.
This could result in loss of
control, and an accident caus-
ing death, serious injury, or
property damage.
Do not allow anything to inter-
fere with the normal position
of the seatback. Storing items
against a seatback or in any
other way interfering with
proper locking of a seatback
could result in serious or fatal
injury in a sudden stop or col-
lision.
Always drive and ride with
your seatback upright and the
lap portion of the seat belt
snug and low across the hips.
This is the best position to pro-
tect you in case of an accident.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
In order to avoid unnecessary
and perhaps severe air bag
injuries, always sit as far back
as possible from the steering
wheel while maintaining com-
fortable control of the vehicle.Rear seatbacks
The rear seatback must be
securely latched. If not, passen-
gers and objects could be
thrown forward resulting in seri-
ous injury or death in the event
of a sudden stop or collision.
Luggage and other cargo
should be laid flat in the cargo
area. If objects are large, heavy,
or must be piled, they must be
secured. Under no circum-
stances should cargo be piled
higher than the seatbacks.
Failure to follow these warnings
could result in serious injury or
death in the event of a sudden
stop, collision or rollover.
No passenger should ride in the
cargo area or sit or lie on folded
seatbacks while the vehicle is
moving. All passengers must be
properly seated in seats and
restrained properly while riding.
(Continued)
WARNING

2-6
Safety system of your vehicle
(Continued)
When resetting the seatback to
the upright position, make sure
it is securely latched by push-
ing it forward and backwards.
To avoid the possibility of
burns, do not remove the carpet
in the cargo area. Emission con-
trol devices beneath this floor
generate high temperatures.
After adjusting the seat, always
check that it is securely locked
into place by attempting to
move the seat forward or back-
ward without using the lock
release lever. Sudden or unex-
pected movement of the dri-
ver's seat could cause you to
lose control of the vehicle
resulting in an accident.
WARNING
Do not adjust the seat while
wearing seat belts. Moving the
seat cushion forward may
cause strong pressure on the
abdomen.
Use extreme caution so that
hands or other objects are not
caught in the seat mechanisms
while the seat is moving.
Do not put a cigarette lighter
on the floor or seat. When you
operate the seat, gas may gush
out of the lighter and cause
fire.
If there are occupants in the
rear seats, be careful while
adjusting the front seat posi-
tion.

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.)
Seat cushion height
(for driver’s seat, if equipped)
To change the height of the seat
cushion, move the lever upwards or
downwards.
• To lower the seat cushion, push the
lever down several times.
To raise the seat cushion, pull the
lever up several times.
Power adjustment
The driver’s seat can be adjusted by
using the control knob located on the
outside of the seat cushion. Before
driving, adjust the seat to the proper
position so as to easily control the
steering wheel, pedals and switches
on the instrument panel.
OGS038005LNEVER allow children in the
vehicle unattended. The power
seats are operable when the
engine is turned off.
