1- 16 to the body structure, can adversely affect SRS performance and lead to possibleinjury.
o For cleaning the airbag pad covers, use only a soft, dry cloth or one which hasbeen moistened with plain water. Solventsor cleaners could adversely affect theairbag covers and proper deployment ofthe system.
o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules on the steering wheel,instrument panel, and the front passen-ger's panel above the glove box, becauseany such object could cause harm if thevehicle is in a crash severe enough tocause the airbags to inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be re- placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS wiring, or other components of the SRSsystem. Doing so could result in injury,due to accidental firing of the airbags orby rendering the SRS inoperative.
o Do not install a child restraint system in the front passenger seat position.A child restraint system must never beplaced in the front seat. The infant or childcould be severely injured by an airbagdeployment in case of an accident.
o If components of the airbag system must be discarded, or if the vehicle must bescrapped, certain safety precautions mustbe observed. Your Hyundai dealer knowsthese precautions and can give you the

cluster, instrument panel pad or air ventila- tor), it may damage these parts. If the liquidfrom the air freshener does leak onto theseareas, wash them with water immediately. WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there may be a loud noise and fine dust will be released through out the vehicle. These conditionsare normal and are not hazardous. How-ever, the fine dust generated during airbagdeployment may cause skin irritation. Besure to wash your hands and face thor-oughly with lukewarm water and a mildsoap after an accident in which the airbagswere deployed.
o The SRS can function only when the igni- tion key is in the "ON" position. If the SRSSRI does not come on, or continuouslyremains on, after flashing for about 6 sec-onds when the ignition key is turned tothe "ON" position, or after the engine isstarted, or comes on while driving, theSRS is not working properly. If this oc-curs, have your vehicle immediately in-spected by your Hyundai dealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or disconnect a battery terminal, turn the ignition key tothe "LOCK" position or remove the igni-tion key. Never remove or replace the airbag related fuse(s) when the ignition keyis in the "ON" position. Failure to heed thiswarning will cause the SRS SRI to illumi-nate. B240C01Y-GAT SRS CareThe SRS is virtually maintenance-free and so there are no parts you can safely service byyourself. The entire SRS system must be in-spected by an authorized Hyundai dealer in 10years after the date that the vehicle was manu-factured. Any work on the SRS system, such as removing, installing, repairing, or any work on the steeringwheel must be performed by a qualified Hyundaitechnician. Improper handling of the SRS sys-tem may result in serious personal injury. WARNING:
o Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward
facing child restraint on a seat protectedby an airbag in front of it!
o Modification to SRS components or wir- ing, including the addition of any kind ofbadges to the pad covers or modifications

The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed
to prevent wheel lock-up during sudden braking or on hazardous road surfaces. The ABS con-
trol module monitors the wheel speed and con-trols the pressure applied to each brake. Thus,in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABSwill increase vehicle control during braking.

o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with the accelerator pedal. This can cause thetransaxle to overheat. Always use the brake
pedal or parking brake.
o Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Resting your
foot on the brake pedal while driving can bedangerous because it can result in the brakesoverheating and losing their effectiveness. Italso increases the wear of the brake compo-nents.
o If a tire goes flat while you are driving, apply the brakes gently and keep the car pointedstraight ahead while you slow down. Whenyou are moving slowly enough for it to be
safe to do so, pull off the road and stop in asafe place.
o If your car is equipped with an automatic transaxle, don't let your car creep forward.To avoid creeping forward, keep your foot
on the brake pedal when the car is stopped.
o Use caution when parking on a hill. Engage the parking brake and place the gear selec-tor lever in "P" (automatic transaxle) or in
first or reverse gear (manual transaxle). Ifyour car is facing downhill, turn the frontwheels into the curb to help keep the carfrom rolling. If your car is facing uphill, turnthe front wheels away from the curb to helpkeep the car from rolling. If there is no curb
or if it is required by other conditions to keepthe car from rolling, block the wheels.
o Under some conditions your parking brake can freeze in the engaged position. This ismost likely to happen when there is an
accumulation of snow or ice around or nearthe rear brakes or if the brakes are wet. If
there is a risk that the parking brake may
freeze, apply it only temporarily while you

resulting in the engine bucking. If this hap- pens, shift to a lower gear. Over-revving isracing the engine beyond its safe limit. Thiscan be avoided by shifting at the recom-mended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air conditioning system is operated by enginepower so your fuel economy is reducedwhen you use it.

The more severe weather conditions of winter
result in greater wear and other problems. Tominimize the problems of winter driving, youshould follow these suggestions:

Snowy or Icy Conditions
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may be
necessary to use snow tires or to install tirechains on your tires. If snow tires are needed,
it is necessary to select tires equivalent in size
and type to the original equipment tires.
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned correct-
ly. Improper alignment can result from hittingcurbs or driving too fast over irregular sur-faces. Poor alignment causes faster tirewear and may also result in other problemsas well as greater fuel consumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For better fuel economy and reduced maintenancecosts, maintain your car in accordance withthe maintenance schedule in Section 5. Ifyou drive your car in severe conditions,more frequent maintenance is required (seeSection 5 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum service, your Hyundai should be kept clean and freeof corrosive materials. It is especially impor-tant that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed toaccumulate on the underside of the car. Thisextra weight can result in increased fuelconsumption and also contribute to corro-sion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary weight in your car. Weight reduces fuel economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than neces- sary. If you are waiting (and not in traffic),turn off your engine and restart only whenyou're ready to go.
o Remember, your Hyundai does not require extended warm-up. As soon as the engine isrunning smoothly, you can drive away. Invery cold weather, however, give your en-gine a slightly longer warm-up period.
o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging is driving too slowly in too high a gear

You can save fuel and get more kilometers from
your car if you follow these suggestions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate rate. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts or full- throttle shifts and maintain a steady cruisingspeed. Don't race between stoplights. Try toadjust your speed to that of the other trafficso you don't have to change speeds unnec-essarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos-sible. Always maintain a safe distance fromother vehicles so you can avoid unneces-sary braking. This also reduces brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your car uses. Driving ata moderate speed, especially on the high-way, is one of the most effective ways toreduce fuel consumption.
o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. This can increase fuel consumption and alsoincrease wear on these components. In ad-dition, driving with your foot resting on thebrake pedal may cause the brakes to over-heat, which reduces their effectiveness andmay lead to more serious consequences.
o Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated to the recommended pressure. Incorrect in-flation, either too much or too little, results inunnecessary tire wear. Check the tire pres-sures at least once a month.

If you have a tire gauge, remove the valve cap
and check the air pressure. If the pressure is lower than recommended, drive slowly to thenearest service station and inflate to the correctpressure. If it is too high, adjust it until it iscorrect. Always reinstall the valve cap afterchecking or adjusting tire pressure. If the cap isnot replaced, air may leak from the tire. If youlose a valve cap, buy another and install it assoon as possible.
After you have changed wheels, always secure
the flat tire in its place in the luggage room andreturn the jack and tools to their proper storagelocations. D080A01A-GAT

If your car has to be towed, it should be done by
your Hyundai dealer or a commercial tow truck service. This will help assure that your car isnot damaged in towing. Also, professionals aregenerally aware of state and local laws govern-ing towing. In any case, rather than risk dam-age to your car, it is suggested that you showthis information to the tow truck operator. Besure that a safety chain system is used and thatlocal laws are observed. o If the car is being towed with the rear wheels
on the ground, be sure the parking brake isreleased.
o If the car is being towed with the front wheels on the ground, be sure that thetransaxle is in neutral. Also, be sure that theignition key is in the "ACC" position. This isnecessary to prevent damage to the steer-ing lock mechanism, which is not designedto hold the front wheels straight while the caris being towed.
o If any of the loaded wheels or suspension components are damaged, a towing dollymust be used.
