!
!
CAUTION:Make sure that the support rod has been
released prior to closing the hood.
!
WARNING:o Always double check to be sure that the
hood is firmly latched before driving
away. If it is not latched, the hood could
open while the vehicle is being driven,
causing a total loss of visibility, which
might result in an accident.
o The support rod must be inserted com-
pletely into the hole provided in the hood
whenever you inspect the engine com-
partment. This will prevent the hood
from falling and possibly injuring you.
o Do not move the vehicle with the hood in
the raised position, as vision is obstructed
and the hood could fall or be damaged.

When using a floor mat on the front floor
carpet, make sure it attaches to the floor mat
anchor in your vehicle. This keeps the floor
mat from sliding forward.
HXGS263
WARNING:o Make sure the floor mat is properly
placed on the floor carpet. If the floor
mat slips and interferes with the move-
ment of the pedals during driving, it
may cause an accident.
o Don't put a additional floor mat on the
top of the fixed mat, otherwise the ad-
ditional mat may slide forward and inter-
fere with the movement of the pedals. 2. Push the safety catch lever to the left and
lift the hood.
3. Hold the hood open with the support rod.
Before closing the hood, return the support rod
to its clip to prevent it from rattling. Lower the
hood until it is about 1 ft. (30 cm) above the
closed position and let it drop. Make sure that
it locks into place.

high ambient temperatures, a slight
"pressure sound" may be heard. This is
normal and not a cause for concern.
Whenever you open the fuel filler cap,
turn it slowly.
o Make sure the fuel filler cap is replaced
and securely seated after fueling. Failure
to replace or fully seat the fuel filler cap
will result in fuel vapors escaping into the
atmosphere and the check engine (MIL)
indicator " " illuminating.

o Station Swapping - As an FM signal weak-
ens, another more powerful signal near the
same frequency may begin to play. This is
because your radio is designed to lock onto
the clearest signal. If this occurs, select
another station with a stronger signal.
o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals be-
ing received from several directions can
cause distortion or fluttering. This can be
caused by a direct and reflected signal
from the same station, or by signals from
two stations with close frequencies. If this
occurs, select another station until the con-
dition has passed.
B750B03Y-AAT
Using a cellular phone or a two-way
radio
When a cellular phone is used inside the vehi-
cle, noise may be produced from the audio
equipment. This does not mean that something
is wrong with the audio equipment. In such a
case, use the cellular phone at a place as far as
possible from the audio equipment.
o Fading - As your car moves away from the
radio station, the signal will weaken and
sound will begin to fade. When this occurs,
we suggest that you select another stronger
station.
o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large
obstructions between the transmitter and your
radio can disturb the signal causing static or
fluttering noises to occur. Reducing the tre-
ble level may lessen this effect until the
disturbance clears.
B750A04L B750A05LWARNING:Don't use a cellular phone when you are
driving. Stop at a safe place to use a cellular
phone.

!WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!C010A03A-AATEngine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open the windows immediately.
o Do not inhale exhaust fumes.
Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation.
o Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If you hear a change
in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the car, have the exhaust system checked
as soon as possible by your Hyundai dealer.
o Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.
Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the engine in your garage any
longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out.
o Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car.
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an open area with the air intake
set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior.
If you must drive with the trunk lid/ tail gate open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary:
1. Close all windows.
2. Open side vents.
3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the windshield are kept clear
of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.
!PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:Engine exhaust and a wide variety of automobile components and parts, including components found in the interior furnishings
in a vehicle, contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects and reproductive harm.
In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
