A slack belt will greatly reduce the protection afforded to the wearer. Care should be taken to avoid con-tamination of the webbing with pol- ishes, oils and chemicals, and par- ticularly battery acid. Cleaning maysafely be carried out using mild soap and water. The belt should be re- placed if webbing becomes frayed,contaminated or damaged. It is es- sential to replace the entire assem- bly after it has been worn in a severeimpact even if damage to the assem- bly is not obvious. Belts should not be worn with straps twisted. Eachbelt assembly must only be used by one occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt around a child being carriedon the occupant's lap.
WARNING:
No modifications or additions should be made by the user which will either prevent the seat belt adjusting de-vices from operating to remove slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack. B150B01A-DAT Maintenance of Seat Belts When cleaning the seat belts, as rec- ommended, avoid getting solutions intothe buckle where they may attack the lubricant or cause corrosion. Do not attempt to bleach or re-dye belts, asthis may affect the webbing strength. NOTE: Do not attempt any form of modifica- tions or repairs to seat belt compo- nents. If the retractor or other com- ponents do not operate correctly,call an authorised Hyundai Dealer, who will take the necessary correc- tive action. Your authorised dealerwill inspect all seat belt components at regular intervals and advise if re- placement is required. Between theseinspections you should make regu- lar checks to ensure that foreign objects are not preventing completebuckle engagement.
B160B01A-AAT Periodic Inspection It is recommended that all seat belts be inspected periodically for wear or dam-age of any kind. Parts of the system that are damaged should be replaced as soon as possible. B160C01A-AAT Keep Belts Clean and Dry Seat belts should be kept clean and dry. If belts become dirty, they can becleaned by using a mild soap solution and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong detergents or abrasives should not beused because they may damage and weaken the fabric. B160D01A-AAT When To Replace Seat Belts The entire seat belt assembly or as- semblies should be replaced if the ve- hicle has been involved in an accident. This should be done even if no damageis visible. Additional questions con- cerning seat belt operation should be directed to your Hyundai Dealer.

Low Oil Pressure Warn- ing Light
CAUTION:
If the low oil pressure warning light stays on while the engine is running,serious engine damage may result. The oil pressure warning light comes on whenever there is insufficient oilpressure. In normal operation, it should come on when the ignition switch is turned on, then go outwhen the engine is started. If the oil pressure warning light stays on while the engine is running, there is aserious malfunction. If this happens, stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so, turn off theengine and check the oil level. If the oil level is low, fill the engine oil to the proper level and start the engineagain. If the light stays on with the engine running, turn the engine off immediately. In any instance wherethe oil light stays on when the engine is running, the engine should be checked by a Hyundai dealer beforethe car is driven again.

B260H02A-GAT Parking Brake/Low Brake Fluid Level Warning Light
WARNING:
If you suspect brake trouble, have your brakes checked by a Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. Driving your car with a problem in either thebrake electrical system or brake hy- draulic system is dangerous, and could result in a serious injury or death.
Warning Light Operation The parking brake/low brake fluid level warning light should come on when theparking brake is applied and the ignition switch is turned to "ON" or "START". After the engine is started, the lightshould go out when the parking brake is released. If the parking brake is not applied, the warning light should comeon when the ignition switch is turned to "ON" or "START", then go out when the engine starts. If the light comes on atany other time, you should slow the vehicle and bring it to a complete stop in a safe location off the roadway. The brake fluid level warning light indi-cates that the brake fluid level in thebrake master cylinder is low and hy- draulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications should be added.After adding fluid, if no other trouble is found, the car should be immediately and carefully driven to a Hyundai dealerfor inspection. If further trouble is expe- rienced, 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 requiredto 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 brak- ing and stop the car as soon as it is safeto do so.

WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open the windows immediately. o Do not inhale exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation. o Be sure the exhaust system does not leak. The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose.If you hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath sideof the car, have the exhaust system checked as soon as possible by your Hyundai dealer. o Do not run the engine in an enclosed area. Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run theengine in your garage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out. o Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car. If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in anopen area with the air intake set at "Fresh" and the fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior. If you must drive with the tail gate open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary:
1. Close all windows.
2. Open side vents.
3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the windshield are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.

o In a collision crash, an unbelted
person is significantly more likelyto die than a person wearing aseatbelt.
RISK OF ROLLOVER
WARNING:
o Utility vehicle has a significantly higher collision rate than othertype of vehicles.
o Utility vehicle have higher ground clearance and a narrower trackto make them capable of perform-ing in a wide variety of off-road applications. Specific design characteristics give them a highercentre of gravity than ordinary cars. An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better viewof the road allowing you to antici- pate problem. They are not de- signed for cornering at the samespeeds as conventional 2-wheel drive vehicles any more than low- slung sports cars are designed toperform satisfactorily under off- road conditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt ma-neuvers. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result inloss of control or vehicle rollover.

C160H01A-DAT Use Approved Anti-Freeze in Window Washer System To keep the water in the window washer system from freezing, add an approvedanti-freeze solution in accordance with instructions on the container. Window washer anti-freeze is available fromHyundai dealers and most auto parts outlets. Do not use engine coolant or other types of anti-freeze as these maydamage the paint finish.
C160G01A-DAT 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 care toavoid injury. NOTE: The proper temperature for using the immobiliser key is from -40°C to 80°C. If you heat the immobiliser key over 80°C to open a frozen lock, itmay cause damage to the transpon- der in its head.
C160E01A-AAT Change to "Winter Weight" Oil if Necessary In some climates it is recommended that a lower viscosity "winter weight" oilbe used during cold weather. See Sec- tion 9 for recommendations. If you aren't sure what weight oil you should use,consult your Hyundai dealer. 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.

C160J01A-AAT Don't Let Ice and Snow Accumu- late Underneath Under some conditions, snow and ice can build up under the fenders andinterfere with the steering. When driving in severe winter conditions where this may happen, you should periodicallycheck underneath the car to be sure the movement of the front wheels and the steering components are not obstructed. C160K01A-DAT Carry Emergency Equipment Depending on the severity of the weather where you drive your car, you should carry appropriate emergency equip-ment. Some of the items you may want to carry include tyre chains, tow straps or chains, flashlight, emergency flares,sand, a shovel, jumper cables, a win- dow scraper, gloves, ground cloth, cov- eralls, a blanket, etc.HIGHER SPEED MOTORING
C170A01A-DAT Pre-Trip Inspections
1. Tyres: Adjust the tyre inflation pressures tospecification. Low tyre inflation pres- sures will result in overheating and possible failure of the tyres. Avoid us-ing worn or damaged tyres which may result in reduced traction or tyre failure. NOTE: Never exceed the maximum tyre in- flation pressure shown on the tyres.
2. Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil: High speed travel consumes more fuel than urban motoring. Do not forget tocheck both engine coolant and engine oil.
3. Drive belt: A loose or damaged drive belt may result in overheating of the engine.
C160I01A-AAT Don't Let Your Parking Brake Freeze Under some conditions your parking brake can freeze in the engaged posi-tion. This is most likely to happen when there is an accumulation of snow or ice around or near the rear brakes or if thebrakes are wet. If there is a risk the parking brake may freeze, apply it only temporarily while you put the gearselector lever in "P" (automatic) or in first or reverse gear (manual transaxle) and block the rear wheels so the carcannot roll. Then release the parking brake.

o Engine Oil and Filter The engine oil and filter should be changed at the intervals specified in the maintenance schedule. If the car is being driven in severe conditions,more frequent oil and filter changes are required. F060C01A-AAT
o Fuel Filter
A clogged filter can limit the speed at
which the vehicle may be driven, dam-age the emission system and cause hard starting. If an excessive amountof foreign matter accumulates in the fuel tank, the filter may require re- placement more frequently. After installing a new filter, run the
engine for several minutes, and checkfor leaks at the connections. Fuel fil- ters should be installed by trained technicians.
!WARNING (DIESEL ONLY):
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30 sec- onds after shutting off engine. High pressure pump, rail, injectors andhigh pressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the engine stopped. The fuel jet produced byfuel leaks may cause serious injury, if it touch the body. People using pacemakers should not move than30cm closer to the ECU or wiring harness within the engine room while engine is running, since thehigh currents in the Common Rail system produce considerable mag- netic fields.
