WHEEL REPLACEMENT
The original wheels may only be replaced with
Hyundai Approved wheels.
WARNING: Driving on worn or defective tyres is dan-
gerous. Worn tyres may cause loss of steer- ing control and a serious deterioration ofbraking efficiency. Defective tyres may causevibration and loss of control through blowouts.
Tyres of different size, construction or tread
pattern should not be intermixed on the sameaxle. Radial and cross ply tyres should not beused on the same vehicle.
The use of tyres and wheels of non approved
sizes can be dangerous.
Tyres must be replaced when the wear indi-
cators appear as a solid bar across the tyretread. At this point, the remaining tread depthwill be approximately 0.06 in.(1.6 mm). Inaddition to this, the tyre must be replaced ifany portion of the tread has become bald orif there are any lumps, bulges or deep cuts inthe sidewalls or tread.
Replacement tyres must be of the recom-
mended size and rating and should be of thesame manufacture and tread pattern on eachaxle.

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 seat belts when driv-
ing or riding in a motor vehicle. B240A03F-GAT (If Installed) Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint (Airbag) Sys- tem. The indications of the system's presence are the letters "SRS AIRBAG" embossed on the airbag pad cover in the steering wheel and the passenger's side front panel pad abovethe glove box. The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installed under the pad covers in the center of the steering wheel and the passenger's side front panel above theglove box. The purpose of the SRS is to provide the vehicle's driver and/orHFC1073

the front passenger with additional pro- tection than that offered by the seatbelt system alone, in case of a frontal impact of sufficient severity. NOTE: Be sure to read information about the SRS on the labels provided on the backside of the sun visor and in the glove box.
WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is designed to work with, and besupplemental to, the driver's and the passenger's three point seat belt systems and is not a substi-tute for them. Therefore your seat belts must be worn at all times while the vehicle is in motion. Inaddition, the airbags deploy only in certain frontal impact condi- tions severe enough to causesignificant injury to the vehicle occupants.

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 Do not install a child restraintsystem in the front passenger seat position. A child restraintsystem must never be placed in the front seat. The infant or child could be severely injured or killedby an airbag deployment in case of an accident.
o Do not allow children to ride in
the front passenger seat. If olderchildren (teenagers and older) must ride in the front seat, makesure they are always properly belted and that the seat is moved back as far as possible.
o For maximum safety protection
in all types of crashes, all occu-pants including the driver should always wear their seat belts whether or not an airbag is alsoprovided at their seating posi- tion to minimize the risk of se- vere injury or death in the eventof a crash. Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to the airbag while the vehicle is in motion.o The driver should sit back as far
as possible while still maintain- ing control of the vehicle. If you are sitting too close to the airbag,it can cause death or serious injury when it inflates.
o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules onthe steering wheel, instrument panel, and the front passenger'spanel above the glove box, because any such object could cause harm if the vehicle is in acrash severe enough to cause the airbags to deploy.
o If the airbags deploy, they must be replaced by an authorizedHyundai dealer.
o Do not tamper with or discon- nect SRS wiring, or other com-ponents of the SRS system. Do- ing so could result in injury, dueto accidental firing of the airbags or by rendering the SRS inopera- tive.
o The SRS is designed to deploy
the airbags only when an impact is sufficiently severe and when the impact angle is less than 30°from the forward longitudinal axis of the vehicle and will not deploy in side, rear or rollover impacts.Additionally, the airbags will only deploy once. Thus, seat belts must be worn at all times.

o The SRS airbag system must
deploy very rapidly to provide protection in a crash. If an occu-pant is out of position because of not wearing a seat belt, the airbag may forcefully contact theoccupant causing serious or fa- tal injuries. B240B01FC-GAT SRS Components and Functions
B240B01L
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-frontal impact is severe enough to requireairbag deployment. B240B02L
The airbag modules are located both in the center of the steering wheel and in the front passenger's panel abovethe glove box. When the SRSCM de- tects a considerable impact to the front of the vehicle, it will automatically de-ploy the airbags.
The SRS service reminder indicator(SRI) on the instrument panel will blinkfor about 6 seconds after the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position or after the engine is started, after whichthe SRI should go out.

B240C03Y-GAT SRS Care The SRS is virtually maintenance-free and there are no parts you can safelyservice by yourself. The entire SRS system must be inspected by an au- thorized Hyundai dealer 10 years afterthe date that the vehicle was manufac- tured. Any work on the SRS system, such as removing, installing, repairing, or any work on the steering wheel must beperformed by a qualified Hyundai tech- nician. Improper handling of the SRS system may result in serious personalinjury.
!WARNING:
o The side impact airbag is supple- mental to the driver's and the passenger's seat belt systems and is not a substitute for them. Therefore your seat belts mustbe worn at all times while the vehicle is in motion. The airbags deploy only in certain side im-pact conditions severe enough to cause significant injury to the vehicle occupants.
o For best protection from the side
impact airbag system and toavoid being injured by the de- ploying side impact airbag, both front seat occupants should sitin an upright position with the seat belt properly fastened. The driver's hands should be placedon the steering wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00 o'clock positions. The passenger's arms and handsshould be placed on their laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat
covers. o Use of seat covers could reduce
or prevent the effectiveness ofthe system.
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 andyourself.
o Do not place any objects (an umbrella, bag, etc.) between thefront door and the front seat.Such objects may become dan- gerous projectiles and cause in- jury if the supplemental side im-pact 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 ignitionkey is on.

o Modification to SRS components
or wiring, including the addition of any kind of badges to the pad covers or modifications to the body structure, can adverselyaffect SRS performance and lead to possible injury.
o For cleaning the airbag pad cov- ers, use only a soft, dry cloth orone which has been moistened with plain water. Solvents orcleaners could adversely affect the airbag covers and proper deployment of the system.
o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules onthe steering wheel, instrumentpanel, and the front passenger's panel above the glove box, be- cause any such object couldcause harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause the airbags to inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be replaced by an authorizedHyundai dealer.
o Do not tamper with or discon- nect SRS wiring, or other com-ponents of the SRS system.
WARNING:
o Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child restrainton a seat protected by an airbag in front of it!
o Do not install a child restraint system in the front passengerseat position. A child restraint system must
never be placed in the front seat. The infant or child could be se- verely injured by an airbag de-ployment in case of an accident. Doing so could result in injury,due to accidental firing of theairbags or by rendering the SRS inoperative.
o If components of the airbag sys-
tem must be discarded, or if thevehicle must be scrapped, cer- tain safety precautions must beobserved. Your Hyundai dealer knows these precautions and can give you the necessary informa-tion. Failure to follow these pre- cautions and procedures could increase the risk of personal in-jury.
o If you sell your vehicle, make
certain that this manual is trans-ferred to the new owner.
o If your car was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or water onflooring, you shouldn't try to start engine; have the car towed to authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not replace the bumper or the bumper guard with the one otherthan the Hyundai genuine parts.Otherwise, it can adversely af- fect SRS performance and lead to unexpected injury.

Parking Brake/Low Brake
Fluid Level Warning Light other time, you should slow the vehicle and bring it to a complete stop in a safelocation off the roadway. The brake warning light indicates that the brake fluid level in the brake mas-ter cylinder is low and hydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications should be added. Afteradding fluid, if no other trouble is found, the car should be immediately and carefully driven to a Hyundai dealer forinspection. If further trouble is experi- enced, the vehicle should not be driven at all but taken to a dealer by aprofessional towing service or some other safe method. Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-diagonal braking systems. This means you still have braking on two wheels even if one of the dual systems shouldfail. With only one of the dual systems working, more than normal pedal travel and greater pedal pressure are re-quired to stop the car. Also, the car will not stop in as short a distance with only half of the brake system working. If thebrakes fail while you are driving, shift to a lower gear for additional engine braking and stop the car as soon as itis safe to do so.
WARNING:
If you suspect brake trouble, have your brakes checked by a Hyundaidealer as soon as possible. Driving your car with a problem in either the brake electrical system or brakehydraulic system is dangerous, and could result in a serious injury or death. Warning Light Operation The parking brake/brake fluid level warning light should come on when the parking brake is applied and the igni-tion switch is turned to "ON" or "START". After the engine is started, the light should go out when the park-ing brake is released. If the parking brake is not applied, the warning light should come on when theignition switch is turned to "ON" or "START", then go out when the engine starts. If the light comes on at any

Warning Light
The charging system warning light should come on when the ignition isturned on, then go out when the engine is running. If the light stays on while the engine is running, there is a malfunc-tion in the electrical charging system. If the light comes on while you are driv- ing, stop, turn off the engine and checkunder the hood. First, make certain the generator drive belt is in place. If it is, check the tension of the belt.And then, have the system checked by your Hyundai dealer.
CAUTION:
If the drive belt (generator belt) is loosen, broken, or mission while the vehicle is driving, there may be a serious malfunction, engine couldoverheat because this belt also drives the water pump.
