Your new vehicle is designed to obtain
maximum performance with UNLEADED
FUEL, as well as minimize exhaust
emissions and spark plug fouling.
Your new vehicle is designed to perform
optimally using unleaded fuel having
an octane number ((R+M)/2) of 87
(Research Octane Number 91) or higher.
For improved vehicle performance,
premium unleaded fuel with an octane
number ((R+M)/2) of 91 (Research
Octane Number 95) or higher is
recommended. (Do not use methanol
blended fuels.)
NOTICE
Using unleaded gasoline that is lower
than octane number ((R+M)/2) of 91
(Research Octane Number 95) could
result in reduced engine power and
increased fuel consumption.
CAUTION
Using unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating lower than RON 95 could result
in loss of engine power and may cause
damage to the engine.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the engine and
engine components, never add any fuel
system cleaning agents to the fuel tank
other than what has been specified.
Consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
for additional information.
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.

Recommended SAE viscosity number
CAUTION
Always be sure to clean the area around any filler plug, drain plug, or dipstick before
checking or draining any lubricant. This is especially important in dusty or sandy
areas and when the vehicle is used on unpaved roads. Cleaning the plug and dipstick
areas will prevent dirt and grit from entering the engine and other mechanisms that
could be damaged.
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy and cold weather
operating (engine start and engine oil flowability). Lower viscosity engine oils can
provide better fuel economy and cold weather performance, however, higher viscosity
engine oils are required for satisfactory lubrication in hot weather. Using oils of any
viscosity other than those recommended could result in engine damage.
When choosing an oil, consider the range of temperature your vehicle will be operated
in before the next oil change.
Proceed to select the recommended oil viscosity from the chart.
Temperature Range for SAE Viscosity Numbers

For better fuel economy, it is recommended to use the engine oil of a viscosity grade
SAE 0W30 API SN PLUS / SP or ILSAC GF-6.
An engine oil displaying this American Petroleum Institute (API)
Certification Mark conforms to the International Lubricant
Specification Advisory Committee (ILSAC). It is recommended to
only use engine oils that uphold this API Certification Mark.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from an inflating side air bag,
take the following precautions:
• Seat belts must be worn at all times
to help keep occupants positioned
properly.
• Do not allow passengers to lean their
heads or bodies onto doors, put their
arms on the doors, stretch their arms
out of the window, or place objects
between the doors and seats.
• Hold the steering wheel at the 9
o’clock and 3 o’clock positions, to
minimize the risk of injuries to your
hands and arms.
• Do not use any accessory seat
covers. This could reduce or prevent
the effectiveness of the system.
• Do not place any objects over the
air bag or between the air bag and
yourself. Also, do not attach any
objects around the area the air bag
inflates such as the door, side door
glass, front and rear pillar.
• Do not place any objects between
the door and the seat. They may
become dangerous projectiles if the
side air bag inflates.
• Do not install any accessories on the
side or near the side air bags.
• Do not put any objects between the
side airbag label and seat cushion. It
could cause harm if the vehicle is in a
crash severe enough to cause the air
bags to deploy.
• Do not cause impact to the doors
when the Engine Start/ Stop button
is in the ON position as this may
cause the side air bags to inflate.
• If the seat or seat cover is damaged,
have the vehicle checked and
repaired by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Curtain air bags
OCN7N031044NOCN7N031044N
OCN7N031043NOCN7N031043N
Curtain air bags are located along both
sides of the roof rails above the front and
rear doors.
They are designed to help protect the
heads of the front seat occupants and
the rear outboard seat occupants in
certain side impact collisions.
The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy during certain side impact
collisions, depending on the crash
severity.
The side and curtain air bags on both
sides of the vehicle may deploy if a
rollover or possible rollover is detected.
The curtain air bags are not designed
to deploy in all side impact or rollover
situations.

SRS warning light
The SRS (Supplement Restraint System)
air bag w
arning light on the instrument
panel displays the air bag symbol
depicted in the illustration. The system
checks the air bag electrical system for
malfunctions. The light indicates that
there is a potential malfunction with your
air bag system, which could include your
side and curtain air bags used for rollover
protection.
WARNING
If your SRS malfunctions, the air bag
may not inflate properly during an
accident increasing the risk of serious
injury or death.
If any of the following conditions occur,
your SRS is malfunctioning:
• The light does not turn on for
approximately three to six seconds
when the Engine Start/Stop button is
in the ON position.
• The light stays on after illuminating
for approximately three to six
seconds.
• The light comes on while the vehicle
is in motion.
• The light blinks when the engine is
running.
Have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
inspect the SRS as soon as possible if
any of these conditions occur. The front air bags help protect the driver
and front passenger by responding to
frontal impacts in which seat belts alone
cannot provide adequate restraint. When
needed, the side air bags help provide
protection in the event of a side impact
or rollover by supporting the side upper
body area.
• Air bags are activated (able to inflate
if necessary) when the Engine Start/
Stop button is in the ON position or
approximately within 3 minutes after
ignition off.
• Air bags inflate in the event of certain frontal or side collisions to help
protect the occupants from serious
physical injury.
• There is no single speed at which the air bags will inflate. Generally, air bags
are designed to inflate based upon the
severity of a collision and its direction.
These two factors determine whether
the sensors produce an electronic
deployment/inflation signal.
• The front air bags will completely inflate and deflate in an instant. It is
virtually impossible for you to see the
air bags inflate during an accident. It is
much more likely that you will simply
see the deflated air bags hanging out
of their storage compartments after
the collision.
• In addition to inflating in certain side collisions, vehicles equipped with a
rollover sensor, side and curtain air
bags will inflate if the sensing system
detects a rollover.
When a rollover is detected, side and
curtain air bags will remain inflated
longer to help provide protection
from ejection, especially when used in
conjunction with the seat belts.
