ed on Page 8-7 in the Vehicle Specifications chapter of the Owner's Manual.
CAUTION

Use of MTBE
HYUNDAI recommends avoiding
fuels containing MTBE (Methyl
Tertiary Butyl Ether) over 15.0% vol.
(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) in
your vehicle.
Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0%
vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight)
may reduce vehicle performance and
produce vapour lock or hard starting.
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.
Fuel Additives
HYUNDAI recommends that you use
unleaded petrol which has an octane
rating of RON (Research Octane
Number) 95 / AKI (Anti Knock Index)
91 or higher.
For customers who do not use good
quality petrols including fuel addi-
tives regularly, and have problems
starting or the engine does not run
smoothly, one bottle of additive
added to the fuel tank according to
the maintenance schedule is recom-
mended. Additives are available from
your HYUNDAI authorised repairer
along with information on how to use
them. Do not mix other additives.
Operation in foreign countries
If you are going to drive your vehicle
in another country, be sure to:
Observe all regulations regardingregistration and insurance.
Determine that acceptable fuel is available.

Safety system of your vehicle
NEVER let the use of a mobile devicedistract you from driving. You have a
responsibility to your passengers and
others on the road to always drive
safely, with your hands on the wheel
as well as your eyes and attention on
the road.
Control your speed
Excessive speed is a major factor in
crash injuries and deaths. Generally,
the higher the speed, the greater the
risk, but serious injuries can also
occur at lower speeds. Never drive
faster than is safe for current condi-
tions, regardless of the maximum
speed posted.
Keep your vehicle in safe condi-
tion
Having a tyre blowout or a mechanical
failure can be extremely hazardous. To
reduce the possibility of such prob-
lems, check your tyre pressures and
condition frequently, and perform all
regularly scheduled maintenance.

Safety system of your vehicle
Do not install a Child RestraintSystem on the front passengerseat
Never install a Child Restraint System
in the front passenger seat, unless the
air bag is deactivated
Why didn't my air bag go off in
a collision?
There are certain types of accidents
in which the air bag would not be
expected to provide additional protec-
tion. These include rear impacts, sec-
ond or third collisions in multiple
impact accidents, as well as low
speed impacts. Damage to the vehicle
indicates a collision energy absorp-
tion, and is not an indicator of whether
or not an air bag should have inflated.
Air bag collision sensors
OYDESA2042
NEVER use a rearward facing
Child Restraint on a seat pro-
tected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in
front of it, DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY to the CHILD can occur.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of an air bag
deploying unexpectedly and
causing serious injury or death:
Do not hit or allow any objects to
impact the locations where air
bags or sensors are installed.
WARNING
Do not perform maintenance
on or around the air bag sen-
sors. If the location or angle of
the sensors is altered, the air
bags may deploy when they
should not or may not deploy
when they should.
Do not install bumper guards or
replace the bumper with a non-
genuine part. This may adverse-
ly affect the collision and air
bag deployment performance.
Place the ignition switch or
the Engine Start/Stop button
to the LOCK/OFF or ACC posi-
tion, when the vehicle is being
towed to prevent inadvertent
air bag deployment.
We recommend that all air bag
repairs are conducted by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

Safety system of your vehicle

Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated and the colli-
sion energy is absorbed by the vehi-
cle structure.
SRS care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-
free and there are no parts you can
safely service by yourself. If the SRS
air bag warning light does not illumi-
nate when the ignition switch is in the
ON position, or continuously remains
on, we recommend that the system
be immediately inspected by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
We recommend any work on the SRS
system, such as removing, installing,
repairing, or any work on the steering
wheel, the front passenger's panel,
front seats and roof rails be performed
by a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Improper handling of the SRS system
may result in serious personal injury.
OOS037056
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death take the follow-
ing precautions:
Do not attempt to modify or
disconnect the SRS compo-
nents or wiring, including the
addition of any kind of badges
to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure.
WARNING
Do not place objects over or
near the air bag modules on the
steering wheel, instrument
panel, and the front passenger's
panel above the glove box.
Clean the air bag pad covers
with a soft cloth moistened
with plain water. Solvents or
cleaners could adversely affect
the air bag covers and proper
deployment of the system.
We recommend that inflated
air bags be replaced by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
If components of the air bag
system must be discarded, or if
the vehicle must be scrapped,
certain safety precautions must
be observed. We recommend
that you consult a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer for the nec-
ess
ary information. Failure to
follow these precautions could
increase the risk of personal
injury.

Information
• The fuel tank capacity is given inchapter 8.
• The fuel gauge is supplemented by a low fuel warning light, which will
illuminate when the fuel tank is
nearly empty.
• On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge pointer may fluctuate or the low fuel
warning light may come on earlier
than usual due to the movement of
fuel in the tank.
Avoid driving with an extremely
low fuel level. Running out of fuel
could cause the engine to misfire
damaging the catalytic converter.
Outside temperature gauge
This gauge indicates the current out-
side air temperatures either in
Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F).
- Temperature range : -40°C ~ 60°C (-104°F ~ 140°F)
The outside temperature on the dis-
play may not immediately change
like a general thermometer not to
distract the driver.
The temperature unit (from °C to °F
or from °F to °C) can be changed by:
- User Settings mode in the Cluster : You can change the temperature
unit in the “Other Features -
Temperature unit” . - Automatic climate control system :
Whilst pressing the OFF button,
press the AUTO button for 3 sec-
onds or more.
The temperature unit of the instrument
cluster and climate control system will
change at once.
Odometer
The odometer indicates the total dis-
tance that the vehicle has been driv-
en and should be used to determine
when periodic maintenance should
be performed.
NOTICE
i
Running out of fuel can expose
vehicle occupants to danger.
You must stop and obtain addi-
tional fuel as soon as possible
after the warning light comes
on or when the gauge indicator
comes close to the “0” level.
