VEHICLE DATA COLLECTION AND EVENT DATA RECORDERS
Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with many high technology, electronically controlled systems that
help to ensure your vehicle operates properly and provides the performance that you expect. These
systems utilize computers to monitor the operation of various systems and components and help to
control their operation. These computerized system operations are wide-ranging and involve
components to reduce emissions, to continuously evaluate the readiness of the airbag and seat belt
pretensioner systems, to determine when the airbag and seat belt pre-tensioner systems should be
deployed and then to activate the deployment, and if equipped, to operate anti-lock braking, traction
control and electrical stability control to assist the driver to control the vehicle in difficult driving
situations. These systems electronically store information that is useful to service technicians when
they need to diagnose and repair these systems. Additional information is stored only when a crash
occurs that results in the deployment of the airbags or seat belt pre-tensioners. This type of data storage
is done by devices called event data recorders(EDR).
After a crash event, the airbag and seat belt pre-tensioner computer system, known as the Supplemental
Restraint System Control Module (SRSCM) or Airbag Control Unit (ACU), may record some information
about the condition of the vehicle and how it was being operated. This information consists of data
related to seat belt usage and if there was diagnostic information in the airbag or seat belt systems
at the time that a crash occurred, and if the ACU sensed that a crash of sufficient severity occurred to
require seat belt pre-tensioner or airbag deployment.
To retrieve this information, special equipment is needed and access to the vehicle or the device that
stores the data is required. Hyundai will not access information about a crash event or share it with
others except:
o in response to an official request of police or similar government office, or
o with the consent of the vehicle owner or, if the vehicle is leased, with the consent of the lessee, or
o as part of Hyundai’s defense of litigation, or
o as required by law.

CAUTION:
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 parts. If the liquid from the air freshener does leak onto these
areas, wash them with water immediately.

FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
CAUTION:
Your Hyundai's New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty may not cover damage to the fuel
system and any performance problems that
are caused by the use of fuels containing
methanol or fuels containing MTBE (Methyl
Tertiary Butyl Ether) over 15.0% vol. (Oxy-
gen Content 2.7% weight.)
B010B01A-AATWhat About Gasohol?Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gasoline
and 10% ethanol or grain alcohol) may be used
in your Hyundai. However, if your engine devel-
ops driveability problems, the use of 100%
unleaded gasoline is recommended. Fuels with
unspecified quantities of alcohol, or alcohols
other than ethanol, should not be used.
B010A02NF-AATUse Unleaded GasolineUnleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane
Rating of 87 (Research Octane Number 91)
or higher must be used in your Hyundai.
B010C01A-AATUse of MTBEHyundai recommends that fuels containing
MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) over 15.0%
vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) should not
be used in your Hyundai.
Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen
Content 2.7% weight) may reduce vehicle per-
formance and produce vapor lock or hard
starting.
B010D01A-AATDo Not Use MethanolFuels containing methanol (wood alcohol) should
not be used in your Hyundai. This type of fuel
can reduce vehicle performance and damage
components of the fuel system.
!
UNLEADED
FUEL ONLY
WARNING:
o Do not "top off" after the nozzle auto-
matically shuts off when refueling.
o Tighten the cap until it clicks, otherwise
the "
" light will illuminate.
o Always check that the fuel cap is in-
stalled securely to prevent fuel spillage
in the event of an accident.

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 registra-
tion and insurance.
o Determine that acceptable fuel is available.B010E01A-AATGasolines for Cleaner AirTo help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai rec-
ommends 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 per-
formance 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 contrib-
ute to the economical operation and durability of
your Hyundai by observing the following recom-
mendations 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 compartment 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.

ILLUMINATED IGNITION SWITCHWhenever either front door is opened, the igni-
tion switch will be illuminated for your conve-
nience, provided the ignition switch is not in the
"ON" position.
The light will go off approximately 10 seconds
after closing the door or when the ignition switch
is turned on.
WARNING:
o Unlocked doors can be dangerous. Be-
fore you drive away (especially if there
are children in the car), be sure that all the
doors are securely closed and locked so
that the doors cannot be opened from
the inside. This helps ensure that the
doors will not be opened accidentally.
Also, when combined with the proper
use of seat belts, locking the doors helps
keep occupants from being ejected from
the car in case of an accident.
o Before opening the door, always look for
and avoid oncoming traffic.
B030B01NF-GATRecord Your Key NumberA code number is attached on the number tag
that came with the keys to your Hyundai. This
key number tag should not be left with the keys
but kept in a safe place, not in the vehicle. The
key number should also be recorded in a place
where it can be found in an emergency.
If you need additional keys, or if you should lose
your keys, your authorized Hyundai dealer can
make new keys if you can supply the key
number.

passenger(s) leaves the car.
THEFT-ALARM SYSTEMB070A01A-AATThis system is designed to provide protection
from unauthorized entry into the car. This sys-
tem is operated in three stages : the first is the
"Armed" stage, the second is the "Alarm" stage
and the third is the "Disarmed" stage. If trig-
gered, the system provides an audible alarm
with blinking of the turn signal lights.B070B02NF-AATArmed Stage
HMR
Park the car and stop the engine. Arm the
system as described below.
1) Remove the ignition key from the ignition
switch.
NOTE:The transmitter will not work if any of fol-
lowing occur:
- The ignition key is in ignition switch.
- You exceed the operating distance limit
(10 m).
- The battery in the transmitter is weak.
- Other vehicles or objects may be block-
ing the signal.
- The weather is extremely cold.
- The transmitter is close to a radio trans-
mitter such as a radio station or an
airport which can interfere with normal
operation of the transmitter.
When the transmitter does not work cor-
rectly, open and close the door with the
ignition key. If you have a problem with the
transmitter, contact an authorized Hyundai
Dealer.NOTE:Keep the transmitter away from water or
any liquid. If the keyless entry system is
inoperative due to exposure to water or
liquids, it will not be covered by your manu-
facturer vehicle warranty.
