However, the right to amend specifications without notice or obligation to
incorporate such amendments into vehicles already produced is reserved.
This manual applies to all markets and includes descriptions and explana-
tions of optional as well as standard equipment. As a result, some of the
equipment operating descriptions referred to may not apply to the particu-
lar vehicle with which this manual is supplied.

F2Modification to the original vehicle specification may invalidate the manufacturers warranty and may
adversely affect the safety and durability of the vehicle.
Components which are subject to modification or are added to the original vehicle specification with-
out the express approval of the manufacturer and result in consequential loss or damage are not cov-
ered by the vehicle manufacturers warranty.
Particular attention is drawn to the fitment of replacement road wheels having a different specification
to those installed in production. The installation of alternative specification road wheels may result in
the replacement road wheels fouling the vehicle body resulting in tyre damage and compromised
safety. The installation of after market wheels on vehicles equipped with TPMS may result in wheel
balancing difficulties or malfunction of the TPMS system.
Please refer to the nearest Hyundai authorised repairer before non original specification road wheels are installed.
This vehicle is fitted with electronically controlled fuel injection or other micro processor controlled equipment.
It is possible for incorrectly installed two way radio equipment including mobile telephones to adverse-
ly affect these systems.
Before radio equipment of this kind is installed, please contact your Hyundai authorised repairer for
recommendation regarding the suitability of the particular radio equipment concerned and the rec-
ommended method of installation and equipment location. Incorrectly installed or unsuitable equip-
ment which gives rise to incorrect functioning of or damage to electronic vehicle components will not
fall within the scope of the vehicle manufacturers warranty.
