Care should be taken to avoid
contamination of the webbing
with polishes, oils and chemi-
cals, and particularly battery
acid. Cleaning may safely be
carried out using mild soap and
water. The belt should be
replaced if webbing becomes
frayed, contaminated or dam-
aged. It is essential to replace
the entire assembly after it has
been worn in a severe impact
even if damage to the assembly
is not obvious. Belts should not
be worn with straps twisted.
Each belt assembly must only
be used by one occupant; it is
dangerous to put a belt around
a child being carried on the
occupant's lap.WARNING
• No modifications or additions
should be made by the user
which will either prevent the
seat belt adjusting devices
from operating to remove
slack, or prevent the seat belt
assembly from being adjusted
to remove slack.
• When you fasten the seat belt,
be careful not to latch the seat
belt in buckles of other seat. It's
very dangerous and you may
not be protected by the seat
belt properly.
• Do not unfasten the seat belt
and do not fasten and unfas-
ten the seat belt repeatedly
while driving. This could
result in loss of control, and
an accident causing death,
serious injury, or property
damage.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• When fastening the seat belt,
make sure that the seat belt
does not pass over objects that
are hard or can break easily.
• Make sure there is nothing in
the buckle. The seat belt may
not be fastened securely.

started.
• When the engine oil pressure is
low.
If the engine oil pressure is low:
1.Drive carefully to the nearest safe
location and stop your vehicle.
2.Turn the engine off and check the
engine oil level (For more details,
refer to “Engine Oil” in section 7). If
the level is low, add oil as required.

HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possi-
ble.

•If the warning light stays on
while the engine is running, it
indicates that there may be
serious engine damage or
malfunction. In this case,
1. Stop the vehicle as soon as
it is safe to do so.

Features of your vehicle
Checking the amount of air
conditioner refrigerant and
compressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is
low, the performance of the air con-
ditioning is reduced. Overfilling also
has a bad influence on the air condi-
tioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, we recommend that the sys-
tem be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING - Vehicles
equipped with R-134a
Because the refriger-
ant is at very high
pressure, the air con-
ditioning system
should only be serv-
iced by trained and certified
technicians. It is important that
the correct type and amount of
oil and refrigerant is used.
Otherwise, it may cause damage
to the vehicle and personal injury.

Features of your vehicle
If you press the operate button (2)
once, the indicator on the button will
be illuminated blue and then you can
keep drinks cool. If you press the
operate button (2) once more, the
indicator on the button will be
changed to amber and then you can
keep drinks warm.
To stop operating, press the operate
button (2) once more. The indicator
on the button will be turned off.
It takes about 5 minutes to swift from
warming mode to cooling mode or
from cooling mode to warming mode.
There are partitions in the box to fix
the drink. You can remove the parti-
tions to fit bigger size bottles. Be
careful not to damage the partitions.
WARNING
We recommend that the cool
and warm box be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Inappropriate repair causes
damage resulting in a fire and
injury.
CAUTION
• When you operate the cooling
mode, if the drink temperature
is high, it takes a long time to
cool the drink. To use the cool-
ing mode efficiently, put a cool
drink in the box.
• When you operate the warm-
ing mode, if the drink temper-
ature is low, it takes a long
time to warm the drink. To use
the warming mode efficiently,
put a warm drink in the box.
• If the cover does not close
securely, the efficiency will be
low and frost will occur. Always
close the cover securely.
• If you attempt to close the
cover by force when drinks
are not put in the box correct-
ly, it will damage the cover.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Because the temperature of
the box bottom is very low, be
sure frost does not occur on
the drink.
• Put the cap on the bottle
securely when you put the
bottle in the box.
• Do not put sharp or any other
object except drinks in the
box. It will damage the box.
• If you keep food in the box for
a long time, the food may get
spoiled and smells.
• When you clean the inside of
the box, use a soft cloth. Don't
use strong soap, chemical
detergents.

Driving your vehicle
WARNING- ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle,
open the windows immediately.
• Do not inhale exhaust fumes.
Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death
by asphyxiation.
• Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.
The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose.
If you hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side
of the car, we recommend that the system be checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.
Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the
engine in your garage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out.
• Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car.
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an
open area with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn
into the interior.
If you must drive with the trunk lid open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary:
1. Close all windows.
2. Open side vents.
3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher
speeds.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the
windshield are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.
