Your HYUNDAI should not be modified in any way. Such modifications may
adversely affect the performance, safety or durability of your HYUNDAI

the vehicle. Certain modifications may also be in violation of regulations
established by the Department of Transportation and other government

CAUTION: MODIFICATIONS TO YOUR HYUNDAI
Your vehicle is equipped with electronic fuel injection and other electronic
components. It is possible for an improperly installed/adjusted two-way radio
or mobile telephone to adversely affect electronic systems. For this reason,
we recommend that you carefully follow the radio manufacturer’s instructions
or consult your HYUNDAI dealer for precautionary measures or special
instructions if you choose to install one of these devices.
The vehicle is equipped with a device of the system Pan-european eCall
which calls emergency services. Any self-or unauthorised interference in the
system Pan-european eCall, in vehicle systems and its components, installing
of equipment which is not recommended by vehicle manufacturer and/or in
authorised HYUNDAI dealerships can cause incorrect operation (of the device
of) the system Pan-european eCall, making erroneous calls, causing failure
of the device (in cars) in case of traffic accident or other accidents, when you
need emergency care.
This may be dangerous and threaten your life!
