Safety precautions
Adjusting the seats so that you are sit-
ting in a safe, comfortable position
plays an important role in driver and
passenger safety together with theseat belts and air bags in an accident.
Air bags
You can take steps to reduce the risk
of being injured by an inflating air
bag. Sitting too close to an air bag
greatly increases the risk of injury in
the event the air bag inflates.The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) recommends
that drivers allow at least 10 inches
(25 cm) between the center of the
steering wheel and their chest.
Seat belts
Always fasten your seat belt before
starting any trip. At all times, passen-
gers should sit upright and be proper-
ly restrained. Infants and small chil-
dren must be restrained in appropri-
ate child restraint systems. Children
who have outgrown a booster seat
and adults must be restrained using
the seat belts.
Do not use a cushion that reduces friction between the seat
and the passenger. The passen-
ger's hips may slide under the
lap portion of the seat belt during
an accident or a sudden stop.Serious or fatal internal injuriescould result because the seat
belt cannot operate normally.
WARNING To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from an inflating
air bag, take the following pre-cautions:
•Adjust the driver’s seat as far to
the rear as possible while main-taining the ability to maintain
full control of the vehicle.
Adjust the front passenger seat
as far to the rear as possible.
Hold the steering wheel by the
rim with hands at the 9 o’clock
and 3 o’clock positions to mini-
mize the risk of injuries to yourhands and arms.
NEVER place anything or any- one between the steering wheel
and the air bag.
Do not allow the front passen-
ger to place feet or legs on the
dashboard to minimize the riskof leg injuries.

across the hips.
NEVER allow children or small
infants to ride in a passenger’s lap.
Do not route the seat belt
across your neck, across sharp
edges, or reroute the shoulder

Tachometer
The tachometer indicates the
approximate number of engine revo-
lutions per minute (rpm). Use the tachometer to select the cor-
rect shift points and to prevent lug-
ging and/or over-revving the engine.
Engine Coolant TemperatureGauge
This gauge indicates the tempera-ture of the engine coolant when the
ignition switch or Engine Start/Stop
button is ON.
Do not operate the engine with-
in the tachometer's RED ZONE.
This may cause severe engine
damage.

beyond the normal range area
toward the "H" position, it indi-
cates overheating that may
damage the engine.
Do not continue driving with an
overheated engine. If your vehi-
cle overheats, refer to "If the
Engine Overheats" in chapter 6.

the average speed is calculated
while the engine is running.
Pressing the TRIP button for more
than 1 second, when the average
speed is being displayed, clears the
average speed to zero (---).
✽✽NOTICE
The average vehicle speed is not dis-
played if the driving distance is less
than 0.186 miles (300 meters) or the
driving time is less than 10 seconds
since the ignition switch or Engine
Start/Stop button is turned to ON.
Driving time
This mode indicates the total time

Parking brake & brakefluid warning light
Parking brake warning
This light is illuminated when the
parking brake is applied with the igni-
tion switch in the START or ON posi-
tion. The warning light should go off
when the parking brake is released
while the engine is running.
The parking brake warning chime will
sound to remind you that the parking
brake is applied when you are driving
above 6 mph (10 km/h). Always
release the parking brake before you
drive.
Low brake fluid level warning
If the warning light remains on, it may
indicate that the brake fluid level in
the reservoir is low.
If the warning light remains on:
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe location and stop your vehicle.
2. With the engine stopped, check the brake fluid level immediately
and add fluid as required. Then
check all brake components for
fluid leaks.
3. Do not drive the vehicle if leaks are found, the warning light
remains on or the brakes do not
operate properly. Have the vehicle
towed to any authorized HYUNDAI
dealer for a brake system inspec-
tion and for repairs if necessary. Your vehicle is equipped with a dual-
diagonal braking system. This means
you still have braking on two wheels
even if one of the brake circuits is
damaged or malfunctions. With only
one of the circuits 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 a portion of the
brake system working. If the brakes
fail while you are driving, shift to a
lower gear for additional engine brak- ing and stop the car as soon as it is
safe to do so.
To check bulb operation, check
whether the parking brake and brake
fluid warning light illuminates when
the ignition switch is in the ON posi-tion.

Charging system warning light
This warning light indicates a mal-
function of either the generator or
electrical charging system.
If the warning light comes on while
the vehicle is in motion:
1. Drive to the nearest safe location.
2. With the engine off, check the gen- erator drive belt for looseness or
breakage.
3. If the belt is adjusted properly, a problem exists somewhere in the
electrical charging system. Have
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
correct the problem as soon as
possible.
If the oil pressure warning light
stays on while the engine is
running, serious engine dam-
age may result. The oil pressurewarning light comes on when-
ever there is insufficient oil
pressure. In normal operation, itshould come on when the igni-
tion 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 mal-function.
(Continued)
(Continued)
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 engine off
immediately. In any instance
where the oil light stays on
when the engine is running, the
engine should be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer
before the car is driven again.CAUTION
