FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
CAUTION:
Your Hyundai's New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty may not cover damage to the fuel
system and any performance problems
that are caused by the use of fuels con-
taining methanol or fuels containing
MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) over
15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight.)
B010B01A-AATWhat About Gasohol?Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gaso-
line and 10% ethanol or grain alcohol)
may be used in your Hyundai. However, if
your engine develops driveability prob-
lems, the use of 100% unleaded gasoline
is recommended. Fuels with unspecified
quantities of alcohol, or alcohols other
than ethanol, should not be used.
B010A02NF-AATUse Unleaded GasolineUnleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane
Rating of 87 (Research Octane Number
91) or higher must be used in your
Hyundai.
B010C01A-AATUse of MTBEHyundai recommends that fuels contain-
ing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether)
over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7%
weight) should not be used in your
Hyundai.
Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0% vol.
(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) may re-
duce vehicle performance and produce
vapor lock or hard starting.
B010D01A-AATDo Not Use MethanolFuels containing methanol (wood alco-
hol) should not be used in your Hyundai.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicle perfor-
mance and damage components of the
fuel system.

The key number should be recorded and
kept in a safe place in case the need to
order further keys arises. New keys are
available from any Hyundai dealer by
quoting the relevant key number.
In the interest of security, the number tag
attached to the keys which bears the key
number should be removed from the key
string after you receive your new vehicle.
In addition, key numbers cannot be pro-
vided by Hyundai for security reasons.
B880C01TG
If you need additional keys or if you should
lose your keys, your authorized Hyundai
dealer can make new keys if you can
supply the key number and master key.

B040A01A-AAT
WARNING:
o Before you drive away (especially if
there are children in the car), be sure
that all the doors are securely closed
and locked so that the doors cannot
be opened from the inside. This helps
ensure that the doors will not be
opened accidentally. Also, when com-
bined with the proper use of seat belts,
locking the doors helps keep occu-
pants from being ejected from the car
in case of an accident.
o Before opening the door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic.

B150B04Y-AATInfant or Small ChildAll 50 states have child restraint laws. You
should be aware of the specific require-
ments in your state. Child and/or infant
safety seats must be properly placed and
installed in the rear seat. Information about
the use of these restraints begins on page
1-34.
!
WARNING:
Every person in your vehicle needs to be
properly restrained at all times, includ-
ing infants and children. Never hold a
child in your arms or lap when riding in a
vehicle. The violent forces created dur-
ing a crash will tear the child from your
arms and throw the child against the
interior. Always use a child restraint
appropriate for your child's height and
weight, see page 1-34.
NOTE:Small children are best protected from
injury in an accident when properly re-
strained in the rear seat by a child re-
straint system that meets the require-
ments of the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards. Before buying any
child restraint system, make sure that it
has a label certifying that it meets Fed-
eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
The restraint must be appropriate for
your child's height and weight. Check
the label on the child restraint for this
information. See page 1-34.
B150C02A-AATLarger ChildrenChildren who are too large for child re-
straint systems should always occupy the
rear seat and use the available lap/shoul-
der belts. The lap portion should be fas-
tened snug on the hips and as low as
possible. Check belt fit periodically. A
child's squirming could put the belt out of
position. Children are afforded the most
safety in the event of an accident when
they are restrained by a proper restraint
system in the rear seat. If a larger child
(over age 13) must be seated in the front
seat, the child should be securely re-
strained by the available lap/shoulder belt
and the seat should be placed in the
rearmost position. Children under the age
of 13 should be restrained securely in the
rear seat. NEVER place a child under the
age of 13 in the front seat. NEVER place a
rear facing child seat in the front seat of a
vehicle.

There will be an audible "click" when the
tab locks into the buckle. When not secur-
ing a child restraint, the seat belt operates
in the same way as the driver's seat belt
(Emergency Locking Retractor Type). It
automatically adjusts to the proper length
only after the lap belt portion of the seat belt
is adjusted manually so that it fits snugly
around your hips. When the seat belt is
fully extended from the retractor to allow
the installation of a child restraint system,
the seat belt operation changes to allow
the belt to retract, but not to extend (Auto-
matic Locking Retractor Type). See page
1-39.NOTE:o Although the combination retractor
provides the same level of protection
for seated passengers in either emer-
gency or automatic locking modes, it
is recommended that seated passen-
gers use the emergency locking fea-
ture for improved convenience. The
automatic locking function is intended
to facilitate child restraint installa-
tion. To convert from the automatic
locking feature to the emergency lock-
ing operation mode, allow the unbuck-
led seat belt to fully retract.
WARNING:
o For maximum restraint system pro-
tection, the seat belts must always be
used whenever the car is moving.
o Seat belts are most effective when
seatbacks are in the upright position.
o Children age 12 and younger must
always be properly restrained in the
rear seat. Never allow children to ride
in the front passenger seat. If a child
over 13 must be seated in the front
seat, he/she must be properly belted
and the seat should be moved as far
back as possible.
!
o If the front passenger's seat belt is not
fastened when the ignition key is
turned to the "ON" position, the seat
belt warning light on the center fascia
panel will blink for approximately six
seconds to remind the front passen-
ger to fasten the front passenger's
seat belt. See page 1-70.o Never wear the shoulder belt under
your arm or behind your back. An
improperly positioned shoulder belt
can cause serious injuries in a crash.
The shoulder belt should be positioned
midway over your shoulder across
your collarbone.
o Avoid wearing twisted seat belts. A
twisted belt can't do its job as well. In
a collision, it could even cut into you.
Be sure the belt webbing is straight
and not twisted.
o Be careful not to damage the belt
webbing or hardware. If the belt web-
bing or hardware is damaged, replace
it.

WARNING:
When fastening the outboard seat belts
or the center seat belt, make sure they
are inserted into the correct buckles to
obtain maximum protection from the seat
belt system and assure proper opera-
tion.
CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMB230A04Y-AATChildren riding in the car should sit in the
rear seat and must always be properly
restrained to minimize the risk of injury in
an accident, sudden stop or sudden ma-
neuver. According to accident statistics
provided by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA), children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seats than in the front seat. Larger
children not in a child restraint should use
one of the seat belts provided. All 50 states
have child restraint laws. You should be
aware of the specific requirements in your
state. Child and/or infant safety seats must
be properly placed and installed in the rear
seat. You must use a commercially avail-
able child restraint system that meets the
requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards (FMVSS).
Children could be injured or killed in a
crash if their restraints are not properly
secured. For small children and babies, a
child seat or infant seat must be used.
Before buying a particular child restraint
system, make sure it fits your car seat and
seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all the
instructions provided by the manufacturer
when installing the child restraint system.
B220C01TG
WARNING:
Always lock metal tab (A) into buckle (B)
immediately after returning the rear
seatbacks to an upright position. This
portion of the rear center seat belt should
only be unbuckled when the rear
seatback is folded down.

To reduce the chance or serious or fatal
injuries:
o Children of all ages are safer when
restrained in the rear seat. A child
riding in the front passenger seat can
be forcefully struck by an inflating
airbag resulting in serious or fatal
injuries.
o Always follow the instructions for in-
stallation and use of the child restraint
maker.
o Always make sure the child seat is
secured properly in the car and your
child is securely restrained in the child
seat.
o Never hold a child in your arms or lap
when riding in a vehicle. The violent
forces created during a crash will tear
the child from your arms and throw
the child against the car’s interior.
o Never put a seat belt over yourself
and a child. During a crash, the belt
could press deep into the child caus-
ing serious internal injuries.o Never leave children unattended in a
vehicle – not even for a short time.
The car can heat up very quickly,
resulting in serious injuries to chil-
dren inside. Even very young chil-
dren may inadvertently cause the
vehicle to move, entangle themselves
in the windows, or lock themselves or
others inside the vehicle.
o Never allow two children, or any two
persons, to use the same seat belt.
o Children often squirm and reposition
themselves improperly. Never let a
child ride with the shoulder belt under
their arm or behind their back. Al-
ways properly position and secure
children in rear seat.
o Never allow a child to stand-up or
kneel on the seat or floorboard of a
moving vehicle. During a collision or
sudden stop, the child can be violently
thrown against the vehicles interior,
resulting in serious injury.
o Never use an infant carrier or a child
safety seat that "hooks" over a
seatback, it may not provide adequate
security in an accident.
!
!
WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be
placed in the rear seat. Never install
a child or infant seat on the front
passenger's seat. Should an accident
occur and cause the passenger's
front airbag to deploy, it could se-
verely injure or kill an infant or child
seated in an infant or child seat. Thus
only use a child restraint in the rear
seat of your vehicle.
o A safety belt or child restraint system
can become very hot if it is left in a
closed vehicle on a sunny day, even
if the outside temperature does not
feel hot. Be sure to check the seat
cover and buckles before placing a
child there.
o When the child restraint system is not
in use, store it in the trunk or fasten it
with a safety belt so that it will not be
thrown forward in the case of a sud-
den stop or an accident.
o Children may be seriously injured or
killed by an inflating airbag. All chil-
dren, even those too large for child
restraints, must ride in the rear seat.
