B010F01A-AAT Operation in Foreign Countries If you are going to drive your Hyundai in another country, be sure to:
o Observe all regulations regarding
registration and insurance.
o Determine that acceptable fuel is available.
Unleaded petrol with a Pump Octane Rating of 87 (Research Octane Num- ber 91) or higher must be used inyour Hyundai. If leaded petrol is used, it will cause the catalytic converter to become ineffec-tive and the emission control system to malfunction. This can also result in increased maintenance expense. To avoid accidental use of leaded fuel, the larger nozzle used with leadedpetrol at service stations cannot be inserted into the fuel tank opening of your Hyundai.
B010A01A-DAT FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS Use Unleaded Petrol
B010A02TB B010E01A-DAT Petrol for Cleaner Air To help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai recommends that you usepetrol treated with detergent additives, which help prevent deposit formation in the engine. This petrol will help theengine run cleaner and the Emission Control System performance.
B010D01A-DAT Do not Use Methanol Fuels containing methanol (wood al- cohol) should not be used in your Hyundai. This type of fuel can reducevehicle performance and damage com- ponents of the fuel system.
! CAUTION:
Hyundai Warranty Policy will not cover the damage of the fuel sys- tem and performance problems thatare caused by the use of methanol or fuels containing methanol.
UNLEADED FUEL ONLY
B010B01A-AAT What About Gasohol?[E-10] Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gasoline and 10% ethanol or grainalcohol) may be used in your Hyundai. However, if your engine develops driveability problems, the use of 100%unleaded gasoline is recommended. Fuels with unspecified quantities of alcohol, or alcohols other than ethanol,should not be used.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 1- 27
o Although it is harmless, the fine
dust may cause skin irritation and should not be inhaled forprolonged periods. Wash your hands and face thoroughly after an accident in which the pre-tensioner seat belts were acti- vated.
CAUTION:
o Because the sensor that activates the SRS airbag is connected with the pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRS airbag warning light on the instrument panel will blinkfor approximately 6 seconds af- ter the ignition key has been turned to the "ON" position, andthen it should turn off.
o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is
not working properly, this warn-ing light will illuminate even if there is no malfunction of the SRS airbag system.If the SRS airbag warning light does not illuminate when the ig- nition key is turned to "ON", or ifit remains illuminated after blink- ing for approximately 6 seconds,
!WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to operate once only. After activa- tion, pre-tensioner seat belts must be replaced. All seat belts, of anytype, should always be replaced after they have been worn during a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt as- sembly mechanisms become hotduring activation. Do not touchthe pre-tensioner seat belt as- semblies for several minutes af- ter they have been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or re- place the pre-tensioner seat beltsyourself. This must be done byan authorised Hyundai dealer.
o Do not strike the pre-tensioner
seat belt assemblies.or if it illuminates while the ve- hicle is being driven, please have an authorised Hyundai dealerinspect the pre-tensioner seat belt or SRS airbag system as soon as possible.
o Do not attempt to service or repair
the pre-tensioner seat belt system in any manner.
o Improper handling of the pre-
tensioner seat belt assemblies,and failure to heed the warnings to not strike, modify, inspect, re-place, service or repair the pre- tensioner seat belt assemblies may lead to improper operationor inadvertent activation and se- rious injury.
o Always wear the seat belts when driving or riding in a motor ve-hicle.
o If the vehicle or pre-tensioner seat belt must be discarded, contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.!

The SRS consists of the following com- ponents:
- Driver's Airbag Module
- Passenger's Airbag Module
- SRS Service Reminder Indicator(SRI)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
The SRSCM continually monitors all elements while the ignition is "ON" to determine if a frontal or near-frontalimpact is severe enough to require airbag deployment.

HTB203
Rear impact
Side Impact Rollover
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rear-im- pact or rollover crashes. In addi- tion, airbags will not deploy in frontal crashes below the deploy-ment threshold speed.
o For maximum safety in event of
collision, all occupants shouldwear their seat belts to minimise the risk of severe injury or death. Do not sit or lean unnecessarilyclose to the airbag while the ve- hicle is in motion. o The SRS airbag system must de-
ploy very rapidly to provide pro- tection in a crash. If an occupantis out of position because of not wearing a seat belt, the airbag may forcefully contact the occupantcausing serious or fatal injuries.

1- 30 FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on the instrument panel will blink for about 6 seconds after the ignitionkey is turned to the "ON" position or after the engine is started, after which the SRI should go out. The airbag modules are located both in the centre of the steering wheel and in the front passenger's panel above theglove box. When the SRSCM detects a considerable impact to the front of the vehicle, it will automatically deploy theairbags.
Passenger's Airbag
Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly into the pad covers will sepa- rate under pressure from the expan-sion of the airbags. Further opening of the covers then allows full inflation of the airbags. A fully inflated airbag in combination with a properly worn seat belt slowsthe driver's or the passenger's forward motion, thus reducing the risk of head or chest injury. HTB204-D

!WARNING:
o Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an airbag in front of it!
o Modification to SRS components or wiring, including the additionof any kind of badges to the pad cover or modifications to thebody structure, can adversely affect SRS performance and lead to possible injury.
B240C01HP
B240C02A-DAT SRS Care The SRS is virtually maintenance-free and so there are no parts you cansafely service by yourself. The entire SRS system must be inspected by an authorised Hyundai dealer in 10 yearsafter the date that the car was manu- factured. Any work on the air bag system, such as removing, installing, repairing, or any work on the steering wheel mustbe performed by a qualified Hyundai technician. Improper handling of the airbag system may result in seriouspersonal injury.
o Use of seat covers could reduce or
prevent the effectiveness of thesystem.
o Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side impactairbag.
o Do not use excessive force on the side of the seat.
o Do not place any objects over the
airbag or between the airbag and yourself.
o Do not place any objects (an
umbrella, bag, etc.) between thefront door and the front seat. Such objects may become dangerousprojectiles and cause injury if the supplemental side impact air bag inflates.
o To prevent unexpected deploy- ment of the side impact air bagthat may result in personal in-jury, avoid impact to the side airbag sensor when the ignition key is on.

SRS (Airbag) Service Re
minder Indicator (SRI)
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) comes on and flashes for about 6 seconds after the ignition key isturned to the "ON" position or after the engine is started, after which it will go out. This light also comes on when the SRS is not working properly. If the SRI doesnot flash, or continuously remains on after flashing for about 6 seconds when you turned the ignition key to the "ON"position or started the engine, or if it comes on while driving, have the SRS inspected by an authorisedHyundai Dealer. B260C01A-AAT
O/D OFF Indicator (Automatic transaxle
only) (If Installed)
When the overdrive switch is turned on, the overdrive off indicator will go out. This amber indicator will be illumi-nated when the overdrive switch is turned off. B260D01A-AAT Turn Signal Indicator Lights
The blinking green arrows on the in- strument panel show the direction indi-cated by the turn signals. If the arrow comes on but does not blink, blinks more rapidly than normal, or does notilluminate at all, a malfunction in the turn signal system is indicated. Your dealer should be consulted for repairs.B260P02Y-GAT ABS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)(If Installed)
When the key is turned to the "ON" position, the Anti-Lock Brake System will come on and then go off in a fewseconds. If the ABS SRI remains on, comes on while driving, or does not come on when the key is turned to the"ON" position, this indicates that there may be a problem with the ABS. If this occurs, have your vehiclechecked by your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. The normal braking system will still be operational, butwithout the assistance of the anti-lock brake system.
WARNING:
If both ABS SRI and Parking Brake/ Brake fluid level warning lights re-main "ON" or come on while driv- ing, there may be a problem with E.B.D (Electronic Brake Force Dis-tribution). If this occurs, avoid sudden stops and have your vehicle checked byyour Hyundai dealer as soon as possible.
B260F01A-AAT High Beam Indicator Light
The high beam indicator light comes on whenever the headlights are switched to the high beam or flash position.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 15
C150A01A-AAT SMOOTH CORNERING Avoid braking or gear changing in cor- ners, especially when roads are wet. Ideally, corners should always be takenunder gentle acceleration. If you follow these suggestions, tire wear will be held to a minimum.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly.
The air conditioning system is oper-ated by engine power so your fueleconomy is reduced when you use it.
C160A01A-DAT WINTER DRIVING The more severe weather conditions of winter result in greater wear and other problems. To minimise the prob-lems of winter driving, you should fol- low these suggestions: C160B01A-DAT Snowy or Icy Conditions To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may be necessary to use snow tyres orto install tyre chains on your tyres. If snow tyre are needed, it is necessary to select tyres equivalent in size andtype to the original equipment tires. Failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and handling of your car.Furthermore, speeding, rapid accel- eration, sudden brake applications, and sharp turns are potentially very haz-ardous practices. During deceleration, use engine brak- ing to the fullest extent. Sudden brakeapplications on snowy or icy roads may cause skids to occur. You need to keep sufficient distance between thevehicle in operation in front and your vehicle. Also, apply the brake gently. It should be noted that installing tyrechains on the tyre will provide a greater driving force, but will not prevent side skids. NOTE: Tyre chains are not legal in all states. Check state laws before fitting tyre chains.
o Keep your car clean all over. For
maximum service, your Hyundai should be kept clean and free of corrosive materials. It is especially important that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed to accumulate on the underside of the car. This extra weight can result in increased fuel con- sumption and also contribute to cor- rosion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unneces- sary weight in your car. Weight is an enemy of good fuel economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than
necessary. If you are waiting (and not in traffic), turn off your engine and restart only when you're ready to go.
o Remember, your Hyundai does not require extended warm-up. As soon as the engine is running smoothly, you can drive away. In very cold weather, however, give your engine a slightly longer warm-up period.
o Don't "labour" or "over-rev" the en- gine. Labouring is driving too slowly in too high a gear resulting in the engine bucking. If this happens to you, shift to a lower gear. Over- revving is racing the engine beyond its safe limit. This can be avoided by shifting at the recommended speeds.

2- 16 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
C160G01A-GAT To Keep Locks from Freezing To keep the locks from freezing, squirt an approved de-icer fluid or glycerineinto the key opening. If a lock is cov- ered with ice, squirt it with an approved de-icing fluid to remove the ice. If thelock is frozen internally, you may be able to thaw it out by using a heated key. Handle the heated key with careto avoid burning your fingers. NOTE: The proper temperature for using the immobilizer key is from -40°C to80°C. If you heat the immobilizer key over 80°C to open a frozen lock, it may cause damage to the tran-sponder in its head.
C160F01A-AAT Check Spark Plugs and Ignition System Inspect your spark plugs as described in Section 6 and replace them if neces- sary. Also check all ignition wiring and components to be sure they are notcracked, worn or damaged in any way.
C160E01A-AAT Change to "Winter Weight" Oil if Necessary In some climates it is recommended that a lower viscosity "winter weight" oil be used during cold weather. SeeSection 9 for recommendations. If you aren't sure what weight oil you should use, consult your Hyundai dealer.
C160C01A-AAT
Use High Quality Ethylene Glycol Coolant Your Hyundai is delivered with high quality ethylene glycol coolant in the cooling system. It is the only type ofcoolant that should be used because it helps prevent corrosion in the cooling system, lubricates the water pump andprevents freezing. Be sure to replace or replenish your coolant in accor- dance with the maintenance schedulein Section 5. Before winter, have your coolant tested to assure that its freez- ing point is sufficient for the tempera-tures anticipated during the winter. C160D01A-DAT Check Battery and Cables Winter puts additional burdens on the battery and charging system. Visually inspect the battery and cables as de-scribed in Section 6. The level of charge in your battery can be checked by your Hyundai dealer or a service station.
