nels, including commercial-free music,

Satellite Radio reception factors :
To receive the satellite signal, your vehi-
cle has been equipped with a satellite
radio antenna located on the roof of your
vehicle. The vehicle roof provides the
best location for an unobstructed, open
view of the sky, a requirement of a satel-
lite radio system. Like AM/FM, there are
several factors that can affect satellite
radio reception performance :
Antenna obstructions : For optimal
reception performance, keep the
antenna clear of snow and ice build-up
and keep luggage and other material
as far away from the antenna as possi-
ble.
Terrain : Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway overpasses,
parking garages, dense tree foliage
and thunderstorms can interfere with
your reception.
SiriusXM Satellite Radio service :
SiriusXM is a subscription-based satellite
radio service that broadcasts music,
sports, news and entertainment pro-
gramming to radio receivers, which are
available for installation in motor vehicles
or factory installed, as well as for the
home, portable and wireless devices,
and through an Internet connection on a
personal computer.
Vehicles that are equipped with a factory
installed SiriusXM Satellite Radio system
include :
Hardware and an introductory trial sub-scription term, which begins on the
date of sale or lease of the vehicle.
For a small upgrade fee, access to SiriusXM music channels, and other
select channels over the Internet using
any computer connected to the
Internet (U.S. customers only).
For information on extended subscrip-
tion terms, contact SiriusXM at 1-888-

Driving your vehicle

Carbon monoxide (CO) gas is toxic. Breathing CO can cause unconsciousness and death.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide which cannot be seen or smelled.
Do not inhale engine exhaust.
If at any time you smell engine exhaust inside the vehicle, open the windows immediately. Exposure to CO can cause uncon-
sciousness and death by asphyxiation.
Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.
The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If you hear a
change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the vehicle, have the
exhaust system checked as soon as possible by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.
Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Run the engine only long enough
to start the engine and to move the vehicle out of the garage.
Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the vehicle.
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the vehicle, be sure to do so only in an open area
with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan control set to high so fresh air is drawn into the interior.
Keep the air intakes clear.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, keep the ventilation air intakes located in front of the windshield clear of
snow, ice, leaves, or other obstructions.
If you must drive with the trunk open:
Close all windows.
Open instrument panel air vents.
Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face", and the fan control set to high.

Maintenance
Keep your garage dry
Don’t park your car in a damp, poorly
ventilated garage. This creates a favor-
able environment for corrosion. This is
particularly true if you wash your vehicle
in the garage or drive it into the garage
when it is still wet or covered with snow,
ice or mud. Even a heated garage can
contribute to corrosion unless it is well
ventilated so moisture is dispersed.
Keep paint and trim in good condition
Scratches or chips in the finish should be
covered with "touch-up" paint as soon as
possible to reduce the possibility of cor-
rosion. If bare metal is showing through,
the attention of a qualified body and paint
shop is recommended.
Bird droppings are highly corrosive and
may damage painted surfaces in just a
few hours. Always remove bird droppings
as soon as possible.
Interior Care
Interior general precautions
Prevent caustic solutions such as per-
fume and cosmetic oil, from contacting
the interior parts because they may
cause damage or discoloration. If they do
contact the interior parts, wipe them off
immediately. See the instructions for the
proper way to clean vinyl.
Never allow water or other liquids tocome in contact with electrical/elec-
tronic components inside the vehi-
cle as this may damage them.
When cleaning leather products (steering wheel, seats etc.), use neu-
tral detergents or low alcohol con-
tent solutions. If you use high alco-
hol content solutions or acid/ alka-
line detergents, the color of the
leather may fade or the surface may
get stripped off.
Cleaning the upholstery andinterior trim
Vinyl (if equipped)
Remove dust and loose dirt from vinyl
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.
Clean vinyl surfaces with a vinyl cleaner.
Fabric (if equipped)
Remove dust and loose dirt from fabric
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.
Clean with a mild soap solution recom-
mended for upholstery or carpets.
Remove fresh spots immediately with a
fabric spot cleaner. If fresh spots do not
receive immediate attention, the fabric
can be stained and its color can be
affected. Also, its fire-resistant properties
can be reduced if the material is not
properly maintained.
Using anything but recommended
cleaners and procedures may affect
the fabric's appearance and fire-
resistant properties.

Maintenance
Do not operate the engine in confinedor closed areas (such as garages) any
more than what is necessary to move
the vehicle in or out of the area.
When the vehicle is stopped in an open area for more than a short time
with the engine running, adjust the
ventilation system (as needed) to draw
outside air into the vehicle.
Never sit in a parked or stopped vehi- cle for any extended time with the
engine running.
When the engine stalls or fails to start, excessive attempts to restart the
engine may cause damage to the
emission control system.Operating precautions for cat-alytic converters (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a catalytic
converter emission control device.
To prevent damage to the catalytic con-
verter and to your vehicle, take the fol-
lowing precautions: The exhaust system and catalytic
converter are very hot during and
immediately after the engine has
been running. To avoid SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
Do not park, idle, or drive the
vehicle over or near flammable
objects, such as grass, vegeta-
tion, paper, leaves, etc. A hot
exhaust system can ignite flam-
mable items under your vehicle.
Keep away from the exhaust sys-
tem and catalytic converter or
you may get burned.
Also, Do not remove the heat sink
around the exhaust system, do
not seal the bottom of the vehi-
cle, and do not coat the vehicle
for corrosion control. It may pres-
ent a fire risk under certain con-
ditions.
WARNING Use only UNLEADED FUEL for
gasoline engines.
Do not operate the vehicle when
there are signs of engine mal-
function, such as misfire or a
noticeable loss of performance.
Do not misuse or abuse the
engine. Examples of misuse are
coasting with the engine off and
descending steep grades in gear
with the engine off.
Do not operate the engine at high
idle speed for extended periods
(5 minutes or more).
Do not modify or tamper with any
part of the engine or emission
control system. All inspections
and adjustments must be made
by an authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er.
Avoid driving with extremely low
fuel level. If you run out of gaso-
line, it could cause the engine to
misfire and result in excessive
loading of the catalytic converter.
