o Verify the shoulder belt anchor is
locked into position at the appropriate
height. Never position the shoulder
belt across your neck or face. Im-
properly positioned seat belts can
cause serious injuries in an accident.
o Failure to replace seat belts after an
accident could leave you with dam-
aged seat belts that will not provide
protection in the event of another
collision leading to personal injury or
death. Replace your seat belts after
being in an accident as soon as pos-
sible.
To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the
retractor and insert the metal tab into the
buckle. There will be an audible "click"
when the tab locks into the buckle.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to the
proper length only after the lap belt portion
is adjusted manually so that it fits snugly
around your hips. If you lean forward in a
slow, easy motion, the belt will extend and
let you move around.

The brake fluid level warning light indi-
cates that the brake fluid level in the brake
master cylinder is low and hydraulic brake
fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 speci-
fications should be added. After adding
fluid, if no other trouble is found, the car
should be immediately and carefully driven
to a Hyundai dealer for inspection. If further
trouble is experienced, the vehicle should
not be driven at all but taken to a dealer by
a professional towing service.
Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-di-
agonal braking systems. This means you
still have braking on two wheels even if
one of the dual systems should malfunc-
tion. With only one of the dual systems
working, more than normal pedal travel
and greater pedal pressure are required to
stop the car. Also, the car will not stop in as
short a distance with only half of the brake
system working. If the brakes malfunction
while you are driving, shift to a lower gear
for additional engine braking and stop the
car as soon as it is safe to do so.
B260J02TG-AAT
Charging System Warning
Light
The charging system warning light should
illuminate when the ignition is turned on,
then go out when the engine is running. If
the light stays on while the engine is run-
ning, there is a malfunction in the electrical
charging system. If the light illuminates
while you are driving, have the system
checked by your Hyundai dealer as soon
as possible.Parking brake warning chime

to remind you that the parking brake is
applied when your are driving above
6mph(10km/h). Always release the park-
ing brake before you drive.

on while the engine is running, serious
engine damage may result. The oil pres-
sure warning light comes on whenever
there is insufficient oil pressure. In nor-
mal operation, it should illuminate when
the ignition switch is turned on, then go
out when the engine is started. If the oil
pressure warning light stays on while
the engine is running, there is a serious
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 en-
gine off immediately. In any instance
where the oil light stays on when the
engine is running, the engine should be
checked by a Hyundai dealer before the
car is driven again.

Turn Signal Indicator
Lights
The blinking green arrows on the instru-
ment panel show the direction indicated
by the turn signals. If the arrow comes on
but does not blink, blinks more rapidly than

ABS Service Reminder
Indicator
When the key is turned to the "ON" position,
the Anti-Lock Brake System indicator will
illuminate and then go off in a few seconds.
If the ABS SRI remains on, illuminates
while driving, or does not illuminate when
the key is turned to the "ON" position, this
indicates that there may be a malfunction
with the ABS.
If this occurs, have your vehicle checked
by your Hyundai dealer as soon as pos-
sible. The normal braking system will still
be operational, but without the assistance
of the anti-lock brake system.
WARNING:
If both the ABS SRI and Parking Brake/
Brake fluid level warning lights remain
"ON" or come on while driving, there
may be a malfunction with E.B.D. (Elec-
tronic Brake Force Distribution).
If this occurs, avoid sudden stops and
have your vehicle checked by your
Hyundai dealer as soon as possible.

the immobilizer system is not functioning
correctly. At this time, consult your Hyundai
dealer.

STEREO SOUND SYSTEMB750A02A-AATHow Car Audio Works
AM broadcasts can be received at greater
distances than FM broadcasts. This is
because AM radio waves are transmitted
at low frequencies. These long, low fre-
quency radio waves can follow the curva-
ture of the earth rather than travelling
straight out into the atmosphere. In addi-
tion, they curve around obstructions so
that they can provide better signal cover-
age. AM and FM radio signals are broadcast
from transmitter towers located around
your city. They are intercepted by the radio
antenna on your car. This signal is then
received by the radio and sent to your car
speakers. When a strong radio signal has
reached your vehicle, the precise engi-
neering of your audio system ensures the
best possible quality reproduction. How-
ever, in some cases the signal coming to
your vehicle may not be strong and clear.
This can be due to factors such as the
distance from the radio station, closeness
of other strong radio stations or the pres-
ence of buildings, bridges or other large
obstructions in the area.FM broadcasts are transmitted at high fre-
quencies and do not bend to follow the
earth's surface. Because of this, FM broad-
casts generally begin to fade at short dis-
tances from the station. Also, FM signals
are easily affected by buildings, moun-
tains, or other obstructions. These can
result in certain listening conditions which
might lead you to believe a problem exists
with your radio. The following conditions
are normal and do not indicate radio trouble:

B445B02CM-AATCONTROLLING HOW YOUR
AUDIO SYSTEM SOUNDSOperating your Audio system
Your audio system comprises a factory-
installed amplifier, an AM/FM digital tuner
(radio) and a CD player (single disc or 6-
disc changer). Use the CD player to play
discs encoded in the CD Audio, MP3, and
WMA formats. This audio system also
comes with an external Satellite Digital
Audio Receiver (SDAR) in providing the
XM service.
If your audio system is the D465S or D466S
model and it is connected to a factory-
installed Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE)
system*, you can control some playback
functions of the RSE system using the
audio system’s front panel controls (for
example, CD player controls).Your audio system has 5 different types of
controls. These controls are used either
independently or in combination with your
audio system’s radio, CD player, SDAR or
optional RSE system*.
NOTE:Your audio system’s factory-installed
amplifier is pre-configured for optimum
performance. You will not be able to
make any adjustments. If there is a prob-
lem with the audio system’s amplifier,
please consult a professional audio en-
gineer or the dealer where you purchased
your vehicle.1. General Controls:
These controls are used to operate the
entire audio system. (e.g. Power ON-OFF
control knob)
Use these controls independently or in
combination to control how the audio sys-
tem sounds. (e.g. Volume control, Bass
and Treble controls)
The sound settings you make are appli-
cable to all audio reproduction sources
(radio, CD, SDAR or auxiliary RSE* de-
vices).
2. AM/FM tuner controls:
Use these controls to operate, navigate
the menu options and change settings
when you are using the AM/FM digital
tuner.
The figure below is an example of the LCD
screen display in tuner mode.
