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.

DOOR LOCKS!
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.
B040B01O-AATLocking, unlocking front doors with
a keyo The door can be locked or unlocked
with a key.
o Lock the door by turning the key toward
the front of the vehicle and unlock it by
turning the key toward the rear.NOTE:The driver's door can be unlocked by
turning the key once toward the rear. If
you wish to unlock all doors, turn the key
again toward the rear within 4 seconds.

This type of seat belt combines the fea-
tures of both an emergency locking retrac-
tor seat belt and an automatic locking
retractor seat belt. To fasten your seat belt,
pull it out of the retractor and insert the
metal tab into the buckle.
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.
B190A02TG-AATSEAT BELTS-Front Passenger and
Rear Seat 3-Point System with Com-
bination Locking RetractorCombination retractor type seat belts are
installed in the rear seat positions to help
accommodate the installation of child re-
straint systems. Although a combination
retractor is also installed in the front passen-
ger seat position, Hyundai strongly recom-
mends that children always be seated in the
rear seat. NEVER place any infant restraint
system in the front seat of the vehicle.
B180A02TG-AATSEAT BELT-Driver's 3-Point System
with Emergency Locking RetractorTo fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the
retractor and insert the metal tab into the
buckle. There will be an audible "click"
when the tab locks into the buckle.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to the
proper length only after the lap belt portion
is adjusted manually so that it fits snugly
around your hips. If you lean forward in a
slow, easy motion, the belt will extend and
let you move around. If there is a sudden
stop or impact, the belt will lock into posi-
tion. It will also lock if you try to lean forward
too quickly.
B180A01NF
NOTE:o If you are not able to pull out the seat
belt from the retractor, firmly pull the
belt out and release it. Then you will be
able to pull the belt out smoothly.
o If the driver's seat belt is not fastened
when the ignition key is turned to the
"ON" position, the seat belt warning
light will blink and the warning chime
will sound for approximately six sec-
onds to remind the driver to fasten the
driver's seat belt. See page 1-68.

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.
!The automatic locking function is in-
tended to facilitate child restraint in-
stallation. To convert from the auto-
matic locking feature to the emergency
locking operation mode, allow the un-
buckled seat belt to fully retract.
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 1-68.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:
WARNING:
You should place the lap belt portion as
low as possible and snugly across your
hips, not on your waist. If the lap belt is
located too high on your waist, it may
increase the chance of injury in the event
of a collision. Both arms should not be
under or over the belt. Rather, one should
be over and the other under, as shown in
the illustration.
Never wear the seat belt under the arm
nearest the door.

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:
B230B01NF-AATUsing a Child Restraint SystemFor small children and babies, the use of
a child seat or infant seat is required. This
child seat or infant seat should be of appro-
priate size for the child and should be
installed in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions. It is further
required that the seat be placed in the
vehicle's rear seat. Your vehicle is pro-
vided with three child restraint hook hold-
ers for installing the child seat or infant
seat. o Seat belts can become very hot, es-
pecially when the car is parked in
direct sunlight. Always check seat
belt buckles before fastening them
over a child.
o Always store or secure a child seat,
even when it is not in use. During a
collision or sudden stop, the child seat
could be thrown inside the vehicle.

WARNING:
To obtain maximum benefit from a pre-
tensioner seat belt:
o The seatbelt must be work correctly
and adjusted to the proper position
(see pages 1-29 and 1-30). Please
read and follow all of the important
information and precautions about
your vehicle’s occupant safety fea-
tures – including seat belts and ad-
vanced airbags – that are provided in
this manual.
o Be sure you and your passengers
always wear seat belts and wear them
properly.

NOTE:o Both the driver's and front
passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts
will be activated in certain frontal col-
lisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts
can be activated alone or, where the
frontal collision is severe enough,
together with the airbags.
The pre-tensioners will not be acti-
vated if the seat belts are not being
worn at the time of the collision.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts are
activated, a loud noise may be heard
and fine dust, which may appear to be
smoke, may be visible in the passen-
ger compartment. These are normal
operating conditions and are not haz-
ardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine dust
may cause skin irritation and should
not be breathed for prolonged peri-
ods. Wash all exposed skin areas
thoroughly after an accident in which
the pre-tensioner seat belts were ac-
tivated.
