Using Fuel Additives (except Detergent Fuel Additives)
Using fuel additives such as:
- Silicone fuel additive
- Ferrocene (iron-based) fuel additive
- Other metallic-based fuel additives
May result in cylinder misfire, poor acceleration, engine stalling, damage to the
catalyst, or abnormal corrosion, and may cause damage to the engine resulting in a
reduction in the overall life of the powertrain.
- The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) may illuminate.
NOTICE
Damage to the fuel system or performance problem caused by the use of these fuels
may not be covered by your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Gasoline containing MMT
Some gasoline contains harmful manganese-based fuel additives such as MMT
(Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).
HYUNDAI does not recommend the use of gasoline containing MMT.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicle performance and affect your emission control
system.
The malfunction indicator lamp on the cluster may come on.
Detergent Fuel Additives
HYUNDAI recommends that you use good quality gasolines treated with detergent
additives such as TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline, which help prevent deposit formation
in the engine. These gasolines will help the engine run cleaner and enhance
performance of the Emission Control System. For more information on TOP TIER
Detergent Gasoline, please go to the website (www. toptiergas.com).
For customers who do not use TOP Tier Detergent Gasoline regularly, and have
problems starting or the engine does not run smoothly, detergent-based fuel additives
that you can purchase separately may be added to the gasoline. If TOP TIER Detergent
Gasoline is not available, one bottle of additive added to the fuel tank according to the
maintenance schedule is recommended (refer to the Maintenance Schedule in chapter
9).
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.

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.

Safety precautions
Adjusting the seats so that you are sitting
in a safe and comfortable position plays
an important role for the safety of the
driver and passengers, as much as seat
belts and air bags when in an accident.
WARNING
Do not use a cushion that reduces
friction between the seat and the
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 cannot
operate properly.
Air bags
You can take steps to reduce the risk
of being injured by an inflating air bag.
Sitting too close to an air bag greatly
increases the risk of injury in the event
the air bag inflates.
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) recommends
that drivers allow at least 10 inches
(25cm) between the center of the
steering wheel and their chest.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from an inflating air bag, take the
following precautions:
Adjust the driver’s seat as far to the
rear as possible maintaining the
ability to control the vehicle.
Adjust the front passenger seat as far
to the rear as possible.
Hold the steering wheel by the rim
with hands at the 9 o’clock and 3
o’clock positions to minimize the risk
of injuries to your hands and arms.
NEVER place anything or anyone
between you and the air bag.
Do not allow the front passenger to
place feet or legs on the dashboard
to minimize the risk of leg injuries.
Seat belts
Always fasten your seat belt before
starting any trip. At all times, passengers
should sit upright and be properly
restrained. Infants and small children
must be restrained in appropriate Child
Restraint Systems. Children who have
outgrown a booster seat and adults must
be restrained using the seat belts.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
adjusting your seat belt:
NEVER use one seat belt for more
than one occupant.
Always position the seatback upright
with the lap portion of the seat belt
snug and low across the hips.
NEVER allow children or small infants
to ride on a passenger’s lap.
Do not route the seat belt across your
neck, across sharp edges, or reroute
the shoulder strap away from your
body.
Do not allow the seat belt to become
caught or jammed.

Head Restraints
The vehicle’s front and rear (second row
and/or third row) seats have adjustable
head restraints. The head restraints
provide comfort for passengers, but
more importantly they are designed to
help protect passengers from whiplash
and other neck and spinal injuries during
an accident, especially in a rear impact
collision.
WARNING
To help reduce the risk of serious
injury or death in an accident, take the
following precautions when adjusting
your head restraints:
Always properly adjust the head
restraints for all passengers BEFORE
starting the vehicle.
NEVER let anyone ride in a seat
with the head restraints removed or
reversed.
OLF034072N
Adjust the head restraints so the
middle of the head restraints is at the
same height as the height of the top
of the eyes.
NEVER adjust the head restraints
position of the driver’s seat when the
vehicle is in motion.
Adjust the head restraints 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 head restraints locks
into position after adjusting it.
CAUTION
When there is no occupant in the rear
seats, adjust the height of the head
restraints to the lowest position. The
rear seat head restraints can reduce the
visibility of the rear area.
NOTICE
To prevent damage, NEVER hit or pull
on the head restraints.

03
3-19
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the air ventilation
seats:
Never use a solvent such as paint
thinner, benzene, alcohol or gasoline
to clean the seats.
Avoid spilling liquids on the surface
of the front seats and seatbacks; this
may cause the air vent holes to block
and not work properly.
Do not place materials such as plastic
bags or newspapers under the seats.
They may block the air intake causing
malfunction of the air vent.
Do not change the seat covers. It may
damage the air ventilation seat.
If the air vents do not operate, restart
the vehicle. If there is no change,
have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

SEAT BELTS
This section describes how to use the
seat belts properly. It also describes
some of the things not to do when using
seat belts.
Seat belt safety precautions
Always fasten your seat belt and make
sure all passengers have fastened their
seat belts before starting any trip. Air
bags are designed to supplement the
seat belt as an additional safety device,
not a replacement. Most countries
require all occupants of a vehicle to wear
seat belts.
WARNING
Seat belts must be used by ALL
passengers whenever the vehicle is
moving. Take the following precautions
when adjusting and wearing seat belts:
Children under the age of 13 should
be properly restrained in the rear
seats.
Never allow children to ride in the
front passenger seat, unless the air
bag is deactivated. If a child is seated
in the front passenger seat, move
the seat as far back as possible and
properly restrain them in the seat.
NEVER allow an infant or child to be
carried on an occupant’s lap.
NEVER ride with the seatback
reclined when the vehicle is moving.
Do not allow children to share a seat
or seat belt.
Do not wear the shoulder belt under
your arm or behind your back.
NEVER wear a seat belt over fragile
objects. If there is a sudden stop or
impact, the seat belt can damage it.
Do not use the seat belt if it is
twisted. A twisted seat belt will not
protect you properly in an accident.
Do not use a seat belt if the webbing
or hardware is damaged.
Do not latch the seat belt into the
buckles of other seats.
NEVER unfasten the seat belt
while driving. This may cause loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.
Make sure there is nothing in the
buckle interfering with the seat belt
latch mechanism. This may prevent
the seat belt from fastening securely.
No modifications or additions
should be made by the user which
will either prohibit the seat belt
adjusting devices from operating to
remove slack, or prohibit the seat
belt assembly from being adjusted to
remove slack.
WARNING
Damaged seat belts and seat belt
assemblies will not operate properly.
Always replace:
Frayed, contaminated, or damaged
webbing.
Damaged hardware.
The entire seat belt assembly after it
has been worn in an accident, even
if damage to webbing or assembly is
not apparent.

Seats & Safety System
3-26
WARNING
Always wear your seat belt and sit
properly in your seat.
Do not use the seat belt if it is loose
or twisted. A loose or twisted seat
belt will not protect you properly in
an accident.
Do not place anything near the
buckle. This may adversely affect
the buckle and cause it to function
improperly.
Always replace your pre-tensioners
after activation or an accident.
NEVER inspect, service, repair or
replace the pre-tensioners yourself.
Have the pre-tensioners inspected,
serviced, repaired or replaced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not hit the seat belt assemblies.
WARNING
Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies for several minutes
after they have been activated. When
the pre-tensioner seat belt mechanism
deploys during a collision, the pre-
tensioner can become hot and can burn
you.
CAUTION
Body work on the front area of the
vehicle may damage the pre-tensioner
seat belt system. Therefore, have the
system to be serviced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
OLMB033040
The Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt System
consists mainly of the following
components. Their locations are shown
in the illustration above:
(1) SRS air bag warning light
(2) Retractor pre-tensioner
(3) SRS control module
(4) Emergency fastening device
NOTICE
The sensor that activates the SRS
control module is connected with the
pre–tensioner seat belts. The SRS air
bag warning light on the instrument
cluster will illuminate for approximately
3~6 seconds after the Engine Start/Stop
button is in the ON position, and then it
should turn off.
If the pre-tensioner is not working
properly, the warning light will
illuminate even if the SRS air bag is not
malfunctioning. If the warning light
does not illuminate, stays illuminated
or illuminates when the vehicle is
being driven, we recommend the pre-
tensioner seat belts and/or SRS control
module be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.
