BREAKING IN YOUR NEW
HYUNDAI
B010F01A-AATOperation in Foreign CountriesIf you are going to drive your Hyundai in
another country, be sure to:
o Observe all regulations regarding reg-
istration and insurance.
o Determine that acceptable fuel is
available.B010E01A-AATGasolines for Cleaner AirTo help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai
recommends that you use gasolines
treated with detergent additives, which
help prevent deposit formation in the
engine. These gasolines will help the
engine run cleaner and enhance perfor-
mance of the Emission Control System.
B020A01S-AATDuring the First 1,200 Miles (2,000
Km)No formal "break-in" procedure is required
with your new Hyundai. However, you can
contribute to the economical operation
and durability of your Hyundai by observing
the following recommendations during the
first 1,200 miles (2,000 km).
o Don't drive faster than 55 MPH (88 km/
h).
o While driving, keep your engine speed
(rpm, or revolutions per minute) between
2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.
o Use moderate acceleration. Don't start
quickly or depress the accelerator pedal
fully.
o For the first 200 miles (300 km), try to
avoid hard stops.
o Don't lug the engine (in other words,
don't drive so slowly in too high a gear
that the engine "bucks":shift to a lower
gear).
o Whether going fast or slow, vary your
speed from time to time.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than 3
minutes at one time.
o Don't tow a trailer during the first 1,200
miles (2,000 km) of operation.
B030A01NF-GATFor greater convenience, your Hyundai
has two master keys and a sub key. The
master keys will open all locks on your
vehicle. The sub key will only function in
the ignition and the door locks.
Leaving your sub key with a parking
attendant will ensure that your vehicle's
trunk, trunk lid release, glove box compart-
ment and rear trunk access may not be
unlocked in your absence.NOTE:Before leaving your sub key with a
parking attendant, make sure that the
lock knobs of the rear seatback lock and
the trunk lid lock are switched to the
"LOCK" position.

The SRS uses sensors to gather
information about the driver's and front
passenger's seat position, the driver's and
front passenger's seat belt usage and
impact severity.
The driver's and front passenger's seat
track position sensors, which are installed
on the seat track, determine if the seats are
fore or aft of a reference position. The seat
belt buckle sensors determine if the driver
and front passenger's seat belts are
fastened. These sensors provide the ability
to control the SRS deployment based on
how close the driver's seat is to the steering
wheel, how close the passenger's seat is
to the instrument panel, whether or not the
seat belts are fastened, and how severe
the impact is.
The advanced SRS offers the ability to
control the airbag inflation with two levels.
A first stage level is provided for moderate-
severity impacts. A second stage level is
provided for more severe impacts.
According to the impact severity, seating
position and seat belt usage, the
SRSCM(SRS Control Module) controls the
airbag inflation. Failure to properly wear
seat belts can increase the risk or severity
of injury in an accident.
CAUTION:
If a seat track position sensor or an
occupant classification system is not
working properly, the SRS airbag warning
light
on the instrument panel will
illuminate because the SRS airbag
warning light is connected with the seat
track position sensor and the occupant
classification system. If the SRS airbag
warning light does not illuminate when
the ignition key is turned to the "ON"
position, remains illuminated after
approximately 6 seconds when the igni-
tion key is turned to the "ON" position, or
if it illuminates while the vehicle is being
driven, have an authorized Hyundai
dealer inspect the advanced SRS airbag
system as soon as possible.
!
Additionally, your Hyundai is equipped
with an occupant classification system in
the front passenger's seat. The occupant
classification system detects the presence
of a passenger in the front passenger's
seat and will turn off the front passenger's
airbag under certain conditions. For more
detail, see "Occupant Classification
System" later in this section.
B240A03NF-AATDriver's and Passenger's Front
AirbagYour Hyundai is equipped with an
advanced Supplemental Restraint
(Airbag) System. 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 above
the 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 the glove box. The
purpose of the SRS is to provide the
vehicle's driver and/or the front passenger
with additional protection than that offered
by the seat belt system alone in case of a
frontal impact of sufficient severity.Driver's Front Airbag

WARNING:
o Move your seat as far back as
practical from the front airbags, while
still maintaining control of the vehicle.
You and your passengers should
never sit or lean unnecessarily close
to the airbags. Improperly positioned
drivers and passengers can be
severely injured by inflating airbags.
o No objects should be placed over or
near the airbag modules on the steer-
ing wheel, instrument panel, and the
front passenger's panel above the
glove box, because any such object
could cause harm if the vehicle is in a
crash severe enough to cause the
airbags to deploy.
o If the airbags deploy, they must be
replaced by an authorized Hyundai
dealer. Deployed airbags WILL NOT
inflate again and will provide no
protection in subsequent collisions.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS
wiring or other components of the
SRS system. Doing so could result in
injury, due to accidental deployment
of the airbags or by rendering the SRS
inoperative.
!
WARNING:
o The SRS is designed to deploy the
front 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. The front airbags will not
deploy in side, rear or rollover im-
pacts. Additionally, the airbags will
only deploy once. Seat belts must be
worn at all times.
o Front airbags are not intended to de-
ploy in side-impact, rear-impact or
rollover crashes. In addition, front
airbags will not deploy in frontal
crashes below the deployment
threshold.
!
WARNING:
o Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the occupant classification sys-
tem, do not install a child restraint
system in the front passenger seat
position. A child restraint system
must never be placed in the front seat.
The infant or child could be severely
injured or killed by an airbag deploy-
ment in case of an accident.
o Children younger than 13 years must
always be properly restrained in the
rear seat. Never allow children to ride
in the front passenger seat. If a child
over 13 must be seated in the front
seat, he or she must be properly belted
and the seat should be moved as far
back as possible.
o For maximum safety protection in all
types of crashes, all occupants in-
cluding the driver should always wear
their seat belts whether or not an
airbag is also provided at their seating
position to minimize the risk of severe
injury or death in the event of a crash.
Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close
to the airbag while the vehicle is in
motion.

Upon deployment, tear seams molded
directly into the pad covers will separate
under pressure from the expansion of the
airbags. Further opening of the covers
then allows full inflation of the airbags.A fully inflated airbag, in combination with
a properly worn seat belt, slows the driver's
forward motion, reducing the risk of head
and chest injury.
After complete inflation, the airbag
immediately starts deflating, enabling the
driver to maintain forward visibility and the
ability to steer or operate other controls.
B240B03L
The airbag modules are located both in the
center of the steering wheel and in the front
passenger's panel above the glove box.
When the SRSCM detects a sufficiently
severe impact to the front of the vehicle, it
will automatically deploy the front airbags.
CAUTION:
o Do not install or place any accesso-
ries (drink holder, cassette holder,
sticker, etc.) on the front passenger's
panel above the glove box in a vehicle
with a passenger's airbag. Such ob-
jects may become dangerous pro-
jectiles and cause injury if the
passenger's airbag inflates.
o When installing a container of liquid
air freshener inside the vehicle, do
not place it near the instrument cluster
nor on the instrument panel surface.
If there is any leakage from the air
freshener onto these areas
(instrument cluster, instrument panel
or air ventilator), it may damage these

o If the airbags inflate, they must be
replaced by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS
wiring, or other components of the
SRS system. Doing so could result in
injury, due to accidental inflation of
the airbags or by rendering the SRS
inoperative.
o If components of the airbag system
must be discarded, or if the vehicle
must be scrapped, certain safety
precautions must be observed. Your
Hyundai dealer knows these precau-
tions and can give you the necessary
information. Failure to follow these
precautions and procedures could in-
crease the risk of personal injury.
o If your car was flooded and has soaked
carpeting or water on flooring, you
shouldn't try to start the engine; have
the car towed to an authorized Hyundai
dealer.

WARNING:
B240C03NF-AATSRS CareThe SRS is virtually maintenance-free and
so there are no parts you can safely service
by yourself. If the SRS airbag warning light
does not illuminate, or continuously re-
mains on, have your vehicle immediately
inspected by your Hyundai dealer.
Any work on the SRS system, such as
removing, installing, repairing, or any work
on the steering wheel must be performed
by a qualified Hyundai technician. Improper
handling of the SRS system may result in
serious personal injury.
WARNING:
o Do not install a child restraint system
in the front passenger seat position.
A child restraint system must never
be placed in the front seat. The infant
or child could be severely injured by
an airbag deployment in case of an
accident.
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 adversely affect SRS perfor-
mance and lead to possible injury.
o For cleaning the airbag pad covers,
use only a soft, dry cloth or one which
has been moistened with plain water.
Solvents or cleaners could adversely
affect the airbag covers and proper
deployment of the system.
o No objects should be placed over or
near the airbag modules on the
steering wheel, instrument panel, and
the front passenger's panel above
the glove box, because any such
object could cause harm if the vehicle
is in a crash severe enough to cause
the airbags to inflate.
