Introduction
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 vapor lock or hard starting.
CAUTION
Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty
may not cover damage to the
fuel system and any performance
problems that are caused by the use
of fuels containing methanol or fuels
containing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl
Ether) over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content
2.7% weight.)
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) 91 / AKI (Anti-Knock Index) 87
or higher.
For customers who do not use good
quality petrols including fuel additives
regularly, and have problems starting or
the engine does not run smoothly, one
bottle of additives added to the fuel tank
at every 10,000 km.
Additives are available from your
authorized HYUNDAI dealer 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 regarding
registration and insurance.
• Determine that acceptable fuel is
available.

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.

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.

Headrest
OAH2038004OAH2038004
The driver’s and front passenger’s seats
are equipped with a headrest for the
occupant’s safety and comfort.
The headrest not only provides comfort
for the driver and front passenger, but
also helps to protect the head and neck
in the event of a collision.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death in an accident, take the following
precautions when adjusting your
headrests:
• Always properly adjust the headrests
for all passengers BEFORE starting
the vehicle.
• NEVER let anyone ride in a seat with
the headrests removed or reversed.
•
OLF034072NOLF034072N
Adjust the headrests so the middle of
the headrests is at the same height as
the height of the top of the eyes.
• NEVER adjust the headrest position
of the driver’s seat when the vehicle
is in motion.
• Adjust the headrest as close to the
passenger’s head as possible. Do
not use a seat cushion that holds the
body away from the seatback.
• Make sure the headrest locks into
position after adjusting it.
NOTICE
To prevent damage, NEVER hit or pull
on the headrests.

To reinstall the headrest :
1. Put the headrest poles (2) into the
holes while pressing the release
button (1).
2. Adjust the headrest to the appropriate
height.
3. Adjust the seatback (4) forward using

Seatback pocket (if equipped)
OAI3039033OAI3039033
The seatback pocket is provided on
the back of the driver’s and/or front
passenger’s seatback.
WARNING
Seatback pockets
Do not put heavy or sharp objects in the
seatback pockets. In an accident they
could come loose from the pocket and
injure vehicle occupants.
