WARNING indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could

FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Petrol 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. (Do
not use methanol blended fuels)
Your new vehicle is designed to obtain
maximum performance with UNLEADED
FUEL, as well as minimize exhaust
emissions and spark plug fouling.
CAUTION
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 specified (We recommend
that you consult an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer for details.)
WARNING
• Do not “top off” after the nozzle
automatically shuts off when
refueling.
• Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an accident.

This chapter provides you with important information about how to protect
yourself and your passengers. It explains how to properly use your seats and seat
belts, and how your air bags work.
Additionally, this chapter explains how to properly restrain infants and children in
your vehicle.

4-2
Safety system
You will find many safety precautions
and recommendations throughout this
section, and throughout this manual.
The safety precautions in this section are
among the most important.
Always wear your seat belt
A seat belt is your best protection in all
types of accidents. Air bags are designed
to supplement seat belts, not replace
them. So even though your vehicle is
equipped with air bags, ALWAYS make
sure you and your passengers wear your
seat belts, and wear them properly.
Restrain all children
All children under age 13 should ride
in your vehicle properly restrained in a
rear seat, not the front seat. Infants and
small children should be restrained in
an appropriate child restraint. Larger
children should use a booster seat with
the lap/shoulder belt until they can use
the seat belt properly without a booster
seat.
Air bag hazards
While air bags can save lives, they can
also cause serious or fatal injuries to
occupants who sit too close to them, or
who are not properly restrained. Infants,
young children, and short adults are at
the greatest risk of being injured by an
inflating air bag. Follow all instructions
and warnings in this manual.
Driver distraction
Driver distraction presents a serious and
potentially deadly danger, especially for
inexperienced drivers. Safety should be
the first concern when behind the wheel
and drivers need to be aware of the wide
array of potential distractions, such as
drowsiness, reaching for objects, eating,
personal grooming, other passengers,
and using cellular phones.
Drivers can become distracted when
they take their eyes and attention off
the road or their hands off the wheel to
focus on activities other than driving. To
reduce your risk of distraction and an
accident:
• ALWAYS set up your mobile devices
(i.e., MP3 players, phones, navigation
units, etc.) when your vehicle is parked
or safely stopped.
• ONLY use your mobile device when
allowed by laws and conditions permit
safe use.
NEVER text or email while driving.
Most countries have laws prohibiting
drivers from texting. Some countries
and cities also prohibit drivers from
using handheld phones.
• NEVER let the use of a mobile device
distract 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

4-5
04
WARNING
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 without 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 passengers
Riding in a vehicle with seatback
reclined could lead to serious or fatal
injury in an accident. If a seat is reclined
during an accident, 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 system (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 causing death, serious
injury, or property damage.
• Do not allow anything to interfere
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
collision.
• 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
protect you in case of an accident.
• In order to avoid unnecessary and
perhaps severe air bag injuries,
always sit as far back as possible
from the steering wheel while
maintaining comfortable control of
the vehicle.

4-6
Safety system
WARNING
Rear seatbacks
• The rear seatback must be securely
latched. If not, passengers and
objects could be thrown forward
resulting in serious 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
circumstances should cargo be piled
higher than the seatbacks. Failure to
follow these warnings cou ld 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.
• When resetting the seatback to
the upright position, make sure it
is securely latched by pushing it
forward and backwards.
• To avoid the possibility of burns,
do not remove the carpet in the
cargo area. Emission control devices
beneath this floor generate high
temperatures.
WARNING
After adjusting the seat, always check
that it is securely locked into place by
attempting to move the seat forward
or backward without using the lock
release lever. Sudden or unexpected
movement of the driver’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 position.
