Introduction
Do not use methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood
alcohol) should not be used in your
vehicle. This type of fuel can reduce
vehicle performance and damage
components of the fuel system.
Fuel Additives
HYUNDAI recommends that you use
good quality gasolines treated with
detergent additives such as TOP
TIER Detergent Gasoline, which help
prevent deposit formation in the
engine. These gasolines will help the
engine run cleaner and enhance per-
formance of the Emission Control
System. For more information on TOP
TIER Detergent Gasoline, please go
to the website (www.toptiergas.com).
For customers who do not use TOP
Tier Detergent Gasoline regularly,
and experience difficulty in starting
the engine or other fuel related
engine conditions, approved fuel
additives may be added to the gaso-
line. If TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline
is not available, HYUNDAI recom-
mends an approved fuel additive be
added to the fuel tank at every
7,500mile or every engine oil change.
Additives are available from your
authorized HYUNDAI dealer along
with information on how to use them.
Operation in foreign countries
If you are going to drive your vehicle
in another country, be sure to:
Observe all regulations regarding
registration and insurance.
Determine that acceptable fuel is
available.
CAUTION
Your New Vehicle Limited
Warranty may not cover damage
to the fuel system and any per-
formance problems that are
caused by the use of fuels con-
taining methanol.

Seat belt restraint system
SEAT BELTS
WARNING
Seat belts are designed to bear
upon the bony structure of the
body, and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis, or
the pelvis, chest and shoulders,
as applicable; wearing the lap
section of the belt across the
abdominal area must be avoided.
Seat belts should be adjusted
as firmly as possible, consis-
tent with comfort, to provide the
protection for which they have
been designed.
(Continued)
(Continued)
A slack belt will greatly reduce
the protection afforded to the
wearer.
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 seat 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.(Continued)
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.
Be careful not to damage the
belt webbing or hardware. If
the belt webbing or hardware
is damaged, replace it.
WARNING
For maximum restraint system
protection, the seat belts must
always be used whenever the
car is moving.
Seat belts are most effective
when seatbacks are in the
upright position.
Children age 12 and under
must always be properly
restrained in the rear seat.
Never allow children to ride in
the front passenger seat. If a
child over 12 must be seated in
the front seat, he/she must be
properly belted and the seat
should be moved as far back as
possible.
Never wear the shoulder belt
under your arm or behind your
back. An improperly posi-
tioned shoulder belt can cause
serious injuries in a crash. The
shoulder belt should be posi-
tioned midway over your shoul-
der across your collarbone.

Features of your vehicle
Turn signal indicator
The blinking green arrows on the
instrument panel show the direction
indicated by the turn signals. If the
arrow comes on but does not blink,
blinks more rapidly than normal, or
does not illuminate at all, a malfunc-
tion in the turn signal system is indi-
cated. Your dealer should be consult-
ed for repairs.
This indicator also blinks when the
hazard warning switch is turned on.
High beam indicator
This indicator illuminates when the
headlights are on and in the high
beam position or when the turn sig-
nal lever is pulled into the Flash-to-
Pass position.
Tail light indicator
(if equipped)
This indicator illuminates when the
tail lights are on.
Engine oil pressure
warning light
This warning light indicates the
engine oil pressure is low.
If the warning light illuminates while
driving:
1. Drive safely to the side of the road
and stop.
2. With the engine off, check the
engine oil level. If the level is low,
add oil as required.
If the warning light remains on after
adding oil or if oil is not available, call
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION
If the engine is not stopped
immediately after the engine oil
pressure warning light is illumi-
nated, severe damage could
result.

Parking brake & brake
fluid warning light
Parking brake warning
This light is illuminated when the
parking brake is applied with the igni-
tion switch in the START or ON posi-
tion. The warning light should go off
when the parking brake is released
while an engine is running.
The parking brake warning chime will
sound to remind you that the parking
brake is applied when you are driving
above 6 mph (10 km/h). Always
release the parking brake before you
drive.Low brake fluid level warning
If the warning light remains on, it may
indicate that the brake fluid level in the
reservoir is low.
If the warning light remains on:
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe
location and stop your vehicle.
2. With the engine stopped, check the
brake fluid level immediately and
add fluid as required. Then check all
brake components for fluid leaks.
3. Do not drive the vehicle if leaks
are found, the warning light
remains on or the brakes do not
operate properly. Have the vehicle
towed to any authorized HYUNDAI
dealer for a brake system inspec-
tion and necessary repairs.
CAUTION
If the oil pressure warning light
stays on while the engine is run-
ning, serious engine damage may
result. The oil pressure warning
light comes on whenever there is
insufficient oil pressure. In nor-
mal operation, it should come on
when the ignition switch is turned
on, then go out when the engine
is started. If the oil pressure warn-
ing light stays on while the
engine is running, there is a seri-
ous malfunction.
If this happens, stop the car as
soon as it is safe to do so, turn off
the engine and check the oil level.
If the oil level is low, fill the engine
oil to the proper level and start
the engine again. If the light stays
on with the engine running, turn
the engine off immediately. In any
instance where the oil light stays
on when the engine is running,
the engine should be checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
before the car is driven again.

NOTICE
• Replace the filter according to the
Maintenance Schedule.
If the car is being driven in severe
conditions such as dusty or rough
roads, more frequent filter inspec-
tions and changes are required.
• When the air flow rate suddenly
decreases, the system should be
checked at an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
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 negative impact on the air con-
ditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, have the system inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
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, oth-
erwise damage to the vehicle
and personal injury may occur.
