2FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
B010F01A-AAT Operation in Foreign Countries If you are going to drive your Hyundai in another country, be sure to:
o Observe all regulations regardingregistration and insurance.
o Determine that acceptable fuel is available.
Unleaded petrol with a Pump Octane Rating of 87 (Research Octane Num- ber 91) or higher must be used inyour Hyundai. If leaded petrol is used, it will cause the catalytic converter to become ineffec- tive and the emission control system to malfunction. This can also result inincreased maintenance expense. To avoid accidental use of leaded fuel, the larger nozzle used with leaded petrolat service stations cannot be inserted into the fuel tank opening of your Hyundai.
B010A01A-DAT Use Unleaded Petrol
B010E01A-DATPetrol for Cleaner Air To help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai recommends that you usepetrol treated with detergent additives, which help prevent deposit formation in the engine. This petrol will help theengine run cleaner and enhance per- formance of the Emission Control Sys- tem.
B010D01A-DAT Do not Use Methanol Fuels containing methanol (wood al- cohol) should not be used in your Hyundai. This type of fuel can reducevehicle performance and damage com- ponents of the fuel system.
! CAUTION:
Hyundai Warranty Policy will not cover the damage of the fuel sys- tem and performance problems that are caused by the use of methanolor fuels containing methanol.
B010B01A-AAT What About Gasohol [E-10]? Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gasoline and 10% ethanol or grainalcohol) may be used in your Hyundai. However, if your engine develops drive ability problems, the use of 100% un-leaded gasoline is recommended. Fu- els with unspecified quantities of alco- hol, or alcohols other than ethanol,should not be used.

o Do not attempt to inspect or re-
place the pre-tensioner seat belts yourself. This must be done by an authorised Hyundai dealer.
o Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies.
o Do not attempt to service or repair
the pre-tensioner seat belt system in any manner.
o Improper handling of the pre-
tensioner seat belt assemblies, andfailure to heed the warnings not to strike, modify, inspect, replace, service or repair the pre-tensionerseat belt assemblies may lead to improper operation or inadvertent activation and serious injury.
o Always wear seat belts when driv- ing or riding in a motor vehicle.
o If the vehicle or pre-tensioner seat belt must be discarded, contact an authorised Hyundai dealer.
!
CAUTION:
o Because the sensor that activates the SRS airbag is connected with pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRS airbag warning light on the instrument panel will illuminatefor approximately 6 seconds after the ignition key has been turned to the "ON" position, and then itshould turn off.
o If pre-tensioner seat belt is not
working properly, this warninglight will illuminate even if there is no malfunction of the SRS airbag. WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to op- erate once only. After activation, pre-tensioner seat belts must be replaced. All seat belts, of any type, should always be replacedafter they have been worn during a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assem- bly mechanisms become hot dur-ing activation. Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat belt assembliesfor several minutes after they have been activated.!
o Although it is harmless, the finedust may cause skin irritation and should not be inhaled for pro- longed periods. Wash your hands and face thoroughly after an acci-dent in which the pre-tensioner seat belts were activated. If the SRS airbag warning lightdoes not illuminate when the igni- tion key is turned to "ON", or if itblinks for a second and remains illuminated after illuminating for approximately 6 seconds, or if itilluminates while the vehicle is being driven, please have an authorised Hyundai dealer inspectthe pre-tensioner seat belt or SRS airbag system as soon as pos- sible.

o For maximum safety in event of
collision, all occupants should wear their seat belts to minimise the risk of severe injury or death. Do not sit or lean unnecessarilyclose to the airbag while the ve- hicle is in motion.
o The SRS airbag system must de- ploy very rapidly to provide pro-tection in a crash. If an occupant is out of position because of notwearing a seat belt, the airbag may forcefully contact the occupant causing serious or fatal injuries. The SRS consists of the following com- ponents:
- Driver's Front Airbag Module
- Passenger's Front Airbag Module
- SRS Service Reminder Indicator(SRI)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
The SRSCM continually monitors all elements while the ignition is "ON" to determine if a frontal or near-frontalimpact is severe enough to require airbag deployment.
B240B01MC-DAT SRS Components and Functions
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on the instrument panel will illumi-nate for about 6 seconds after the ignition key is turned to the "ON" posi- tion or after the engine is started, afterwhich the SRI should go out.
B240B01L-R
B240B02L-R
The airbag modules are located both in the centre of the steering wheel and in the front passenger's panel above theglove box. When the SRSCM detects a considerable impact to the front of the vehicle, it will automatically deploy theairbags.

o Modification to SRS components
or wiring, including the addition of any kind of badges to the pad covers or modifications to the body structure, can adversely affect SRSperformance and lead to possible injury.
o For cleaning the airbag pad cov- ers, use only a soft, dry cloth orone which has been moistened with plain water. Solvents or clean-ers could adversely affect the airbag covers and proper deploy- ment of the system.
o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules on thesteering wheel, instrument panel,and the front passenger's panel above the glove box, because any such object could cause harm ifthe vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause the airbags to inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be replaced by an authorised Hyundaidealer.

B240C01HP
WARNING:
o Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rear- ward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an airbag in front of it!
o Do not install a child restraint sys- tem in the front passenger seatposition. A child restraint system mustnever be placed in the front seat. The infant or baby could be se- verely injured by an airbag de-ployment in case of an accident.
B240C02NF-DAT SRS Care The SRS is virtually maintenance-free and so there are no parts you can safelyservice by yourself. If the SRS SRI (Service Reminder Indicator) does not come on, or continuously remains on,have your vehicle immediately in- spected by your authorised Hyundai dealer. Any work on the SRS system, such as removing, installing, repairing, or anywork on the steering wheel must be performed by a qualified Hyundai tech- nician. Improper handling of the SRSsystem may result in serious personal injury.

WARNING AND INDICATOR LIGHTS
B260C01A-AATO/D OFF Indicator(Automatic Transaxleonly)
When the overdrive switch is turned on, the overdrive off indicator will go out. This amber indicator will be illumi-nated when the overdrive switch is turned off.
B260P02Y-DAT ABS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)(If Installed)
When the key is turned to the "ON" position, the Anti-Lock Brake System SRI will come on and then go off in afew seconds. If the ABS SRI remains on, comes on while driving, or does not come on when the key is turned to the"ON" position, this indicates that there may be a problem with the ABS. If this occurs, have your vehiclechecked by your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. The normal braking system will still be operational, butwithout the assistance of the anti-lock brake system. WARNING:
If both ABS SRI and Hand Brake/Brake fluid level warning lights re- main "ON" or come on while driv-ing, there may be a problem with E.B.D (Electronic Brake Force Dis- tribution).If this occurs, avoid sudden stops and have your vehicle checked by your Hyundai dealer as soon aspossible.B260B01JM-DAT SRS (Airbag) Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) comes on for about 6 secondsafter the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position or after the engine is started, after which it will go out. This light also comes on when the SRS is not working properly. If the SRI doesnot come on, or continuously remains on after operating for about 6 seconds when you turned the ignition key to the"ON" position or started the engine, or if it comes on while driving, have the SRS inspected by an authorised Hyundaidealer.

B260J01S-DATCharging System Warning Light
The charging system warning light should come on when the ignition isturned on, then go out when the engine is running. If the light stays on while the engine is running, there is amalfunction in the electrical charging system. If the light comes on while you are driving, stop, turn off the engineand check under the bonnet. First, make certain the alternator drive belt is in place. If it is, check the tension of thebelt. If the belt is satisfactory, have the system checked by your Hyundaidealer. B260M01A-AAT
Low Fuel Level Warning Light
The low fuel level warning light comes on when the fuel tank is approaching empty. When it comes on, you should add fuel as soon as possible. Drivingwith the fuel level warning light on or with the fuel level below "E" can cause the engine to misfire and damage thecatalytic converter.
! CAUTION:
If the drive belt (alternator belt) is loose or breaks while the engine isrunning, engine could overheat be- cause this belt also drives the water pump. B260L01A-GAT
Door Ajar Warning Light
The door ajar warning light warns youthat a door is not completely closed.
If the light comes on at any other time, you should slow the vehicle and bring itto a complete stop in a safe location off the roadway. The brake fluid level warn- ing light indicates that the brake fluidlevel fluid level in the brake master cylinder is low and hydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifi-cations should be added. After adding fluid, if no other trouble is found, the car should be carefully driven to a Hyundaidealer for inspection. If further trouble is experienced, the vehicle should not be driven at all but taken to a dealer by aprofessional towing service or some other safe method. Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-diagonal brakingsystems. This means you still have braking on two wheels even if one of the dual systems should fail. With only oneof the dual systems working, more than normal pedal travel and greater pedal pressure are required to stop the car.Also, the car will not stop in as short a distance with only a portion of the brake system working. If the brakes fail whileyou are driving, shift to a lower gear for additional engine braking and stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so. B260K01MC-DAT
Boot Lid/Tail Gate Open Warning Light
This light remains on unless the boot lid/tail gate is completely closed andlatched.
