KEYS KEYSKEYS KEYS
KEYS
For greater convenience, the same key oper-
ates all the locks in your Hyundai. However,
because the doors can be locked without a key,
carrying a spare key is recommended in case
you accidentally lock one key inside the car.
B030B01A-AATRecord Your Key Number
A code number is stamped on the number plate
that came with the keys to your Hyundai. This
key number plate should not be left with the
keys but kept in a safe place, not in the vehicle.
The key number should also be recorded in a
place where it can be found in an emergency.
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.

WARNING:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous. Before
you drive away (especially if there are chil-
dren in the car), be sure that all the doors
are securely closed and locked so that the
doors cannot be inadvertently opened from
the inside. This helps ensure that the doors o Don't drive faster than 55 MPH (88 km/h).
o While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm,
or revolutions per minute) between 2,000
rpm and 4,000 rpm.
o Use moderate acceleration. Don't start quick-
ly or depress the accelerator pedal fully.
o For the first 200 miles (300 km), try to avoid
hard stops.
o Don't lug the engine (in other words, don't
drive so slowly in too high a gear that the
engine "bucks"-shift to a lower gear).
o Whether going fast or slow, vary your speed
from time to time.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than 3 min-
utes at one time.
o Don't tow a trailer during the first 1,200 miles
(2,000 km) of operation.

Keep Belts Clean and DrySeat belts should be kept clean and dry. If belts
become dirty, they can be cleaned by using a

SHOULDER BELT (If Installed)
You can adjust the height of the shoulder belt
anchor to one of the 4 positions for maximum
comfort and safty.
If the height of the adjusting seat belt is too near
your neck, you will not be getting the most
effective protection. The shoulder portion
should be adjusted so that it lies across your
chest and midway over your shoulder nearest
the door and not your neck.
To adjust the height of the seat belt anchor,
lower or raise the height adjuster into an appro-
priate position. To raise the height adjuster, pull
it up. To lower it, push it down while pressing the
height adjuster button.
Release the button to lock the anchor into
position. Try sliding the height adjuster to make
sure that it has locked into the position.

To Fasten Your 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.
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 position. It will also lock if you try to
lean forward too quickly. Check to make sure
that the belt is properly locked and that the belt
is not twisted.

Pre-tensioner Seat BeltYour Hyundai vehicle is equipped with driver's
and front passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts.
The purpose of the pre-tensioner is to make
sure that the seat belts fit tightly against the
occupant's body in certain frontal collisions.
The pre-tensioner seat belts can be activated
alone or, where the frontal collision is severe
enough, together with the airbags.
B180B01S
The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in a simi-
lar way as an Emergency Locking Retractor
(ELR) type of seat belt. When the vehicle stops
suddenly, or if the occupant tries to lean for-
ward too quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock
into position. However, in certain frontal colli-
sions, the pre-tensioner will activate and pull
the seat belt into tighter contact against the
occupant's body.

which it will go out.
This light also comes on when the SRS is not

this indicates that there may be a problem with
the ABS.
If this occurs, have your vehicle checked by
your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. The
normal braking system will still be operational,
but without the assistance of the anti-lock
brake system.
WARNING:If the both ABS SRI and Parking Brake/
Brake fluid level warning lights remain "ON"
or come on while driving, there may be a
problem with E.B.D (Electronic Brake Force
Distribution).
If this occurs, avoid sudden stops and have
your vehicle checked by your Hyundai dealer
as soon as possible.

Warning Light Operation Warning Light OperationWarning Light Operation Warning Light Operation
Warning Light OperationThe parking brake/brake fluid level warning
light should come on when the parking brake is
applied and the ignition switch is turned to "ON"
or "START". After the engine is started, the light
should go out when the parking brake is re-
leased.
If the parking brake is not applied, the warning
light should come on when the ignition switch is
turned to "ON" or "START", then go out when
the engine starts. If the light comes on at any
other time, you should slow the vehicle and
bring it to a complete stop in a safe location off
the roadway.
The brake fluid level warning light indicates that
the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder
is low and hydraulic brake fluid conforming to
DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications should be
added. After adding fluid, if no other trouble isfound, the car should be immediately and care-
fully driven to a Hyundai dealer for inspection.
If further trouble is experienced, the vehicle
should not be driven at all but taken to a dealer
by a professional towing service or some other
safe method.
Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-diagonal
braking systems. This means you still have
braking on two wheels even if one of the dual
systems should fail. With only one of 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 half of the brake system
working. If the brakes fail while you are driving,
shift to a lower gear for additional engine brak-
ing and stop the car as soon as it is safe to do
so.

the engine and check under the hood. First,
make certain the generator drive belt is in
place. If it is, check the tension of the belt.

FLOOR MAT ANCHOR
To use 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.

on the floor carpet. If the floor mat slips
and interferes with the movement of the
pedals during driving, it may cause an
accident.
o Don't put an additional floor mat on the
top of the anchored mat, otherwise the
additional mat may slide forward and
interfere with the movement of the ped-
als.
