Introduction
VEHICLE BREAK-IN PROCESS
No special break-in period is needed.
By following a few simple precautions
for the first 600 miles (1,000 km) you
may add to the performance, econo-
my and life of your vehicle.
Do not race the engine.
While driving, keep your engine
speed (rpm, or revolutions per
minute) between 2,000 rpm and
4,000 rpm.
Do not maintain a single speed for
long periods of time, either fast or
slow. Varying engine speed is
needed to properly break-in the
engine.
Avoid hard stops, except in emer-
gencies, to allow the brakes to seat
properly.
Do not let the engine idle longer
than 3 minutes at one time.CALIFORNIA PROPO-
SITION 65 WARNING

cles or emitted from them are

Introduction

This vehicle is equipped with an
event data recorder (EDR). The
main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such as an
air bag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will assist
in understanding how a vehicle's
systems performed. The EDR is
designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety sys-
tems for a short period of time,
typically 30 seconds or less. The
EDR in this vehicle is designed to
record such data as:
How various systems in your
vehicle were operating;
Whether or not the driver and
passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator
and/or brake pedal; and,
How fast the vehicle was travel-
ing.These data can help provide a bet-
ter understanding of the circum-
stances in which crashes and
injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are
recorded by your vehicle only if a
nontrivial crash situation occurs;
no data are recorded by the EDR
under normal driving conditions
and no personal data (e.g., name,
gender, age, and crash location)
are recorded. However, other par-
ties, such as law enforcement,
could combine the EDR data with
the type of personally identifying
data routinely acquired during a
crash investigation.To read data recorded by an EDR,
special equipment is required, and
access to the vehicle or the EDR is
needed.
In addition to the vehicle manufac-
turer, other parties, such as law
enforcement, that have the special
equipment, can read the informa-
tion if they have access to the
vehicle or the EDR.

WARNING - Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the
automatic transaxle is in P
(Park) or the manual transaxle
is in R (Reverse) or 1st, and the
parking brake is securely
applied whenever loading or
unloading cargo. Failure to take
these steps may allow the vehi-
cle to move if the shift lever is
inadvertently moved to another
position.
WARNING - Cargo
Cargo should always be
secured to prevent it from being
thrown about the vehicle in a
collision and causing injury to
the vehicle occupants. Special
care of objects should be taken
when placing them in the rear
seats, since those may hit the
front seat occupants in a frontal
collision.
CAUTION - Rear seat
belts
When returning the rear seat-
backs to the upright position,
remember to return the rear
shoulder belts to their proper
position.
WARNING - Uprighting
seat
When you return the seatback
to its upright position, hold the
seatback and return it slowly. If
the seatback is returned with-
out holding it, the back of the
seat could spring forward
resulting in injury caused by
being struck by the seatback.

Safety features of your vehicle
Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehi-
cle causing it to “ride” under a vehi-
cle with a higher ground clearance.
Air bags may not inflate in this
"under-ride" situation because
forces that are detected by sensors
may be reduced by such “under-
ride” collisions. Airbags may not inflate in most
rollover accidents, even though the
vehicle is equipped with side impact
air bags and curtain air bags.
However, side impact and curtain
air bags may inflate when the vehi-
cle is rolled over by a side impact
collision. Air bags may not inflate if the vehi-
cle collides with objects such as
utility poles or trees.

Features of your vehicle
If the key is in the ignition switch
and front door is open, the doors
will not lock even though the cen-
tral door lock switch (1) is pressed.

tral door lock switch (1) is pressed.✽ ✽
NOTICE
You can select some auto door
lock/unlock features in “User
Settings” as follows;
• Speed sensing auto door lock
• Auto door unlock when the igni-
tion key is removed from the igni-
tion switch or engine is turned off.
• Auto door lock/unlock by shifting
the shift lever out of P(Park) or
into P(Park).
For more information, refer to
“User Settings” in this section.
WARNING - Doors
The doors should always be
fully closed and locked while
the vehicle is in motion to pre-
vent accidental opening of the
door. Locked doors will also
discourage potential intruders
when the vehicle stops or
slows.
Be careful when opening
doors and watch for vehicles,
motorcycles, bicycles or
pedestrians approaching the
vehicle in the path of the door.
Opening a door when some-
thing is approaching can
cause damage or injury.
WARNING - Unlocked
vehicles
Leaving your vehicle unlocked
can invite theft or possible harm
to you or others from someone
hiding in your vehicle while you
are gone. Always remove the
ignition key, engage the parking
brake, close all windows and
lock all doors when leaving
your vehicle unattended.
WARNING - Unattended
children
An enclosed vehicle can become
extremely hot, causing death or
severe injury to unattended chil-
dren or animals who cannot
escape the vehicle. Furthermore,
children might operate features
of the vehicle that could injure
them, or they could encounter
other harm, possibly from some-
one gaining entry to the vehicle.
Never leave children or animals
unattended in your vehicle.

Warnings and indicators
All warning lights are checked by
turning the ignition switch ON (do not
start the engine). Any light that does
not illuminate should be checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
After starting the engine, check to
make sure that all warning lights are
off. If any are still on, this indicates a
situation that may need attention.
When releasing the parking brake,
the brake system warning light
should go off. The fuel warning light
will stay on if the fuel level is low.
ECO indicator
(if equipped)
Active ECO system (if equipped)
When the active ECO is operating,
the ECO indicator is green.
For more detailed information, refer
to “Active ECO” in chapter 5.
Air bag warning light
This warning light will illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds each time
you turn the ignition switch to the ON
position.
This light also comes on when the
Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) is not working properly. If the
SRS air bag warning light does
not come on, or continuously remains
on after operating for about 6 sec-
onds when you turned the ignition
switch to the ON position or started
the engine, or if it comes on while
driving, have the SRS inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
