Detergent Fuel Additives
HYUNDAI recommends that you use
good quality gasolines treated with
detergent additives such as TOP TIER
Detergent Gasoline, which help prevent
deposit formation in the engine. These
gasolines will help the engine run
cleaner and enhance performance of
the Emission Control System. For more
information on TOP TIER Detergent
Gasoline, please go to the website (www.
toptiergas.com).
For customers who do not use TOP Tier
Detergent Gasoline regularly, and have
problems starting or the engine does
not run smoothly, detergent-based
fuel additives that you can purchase
separately may be added to the gasoline.
If TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is
not available, one bottle of additive
added to the fuel tank according to the
maintenance schedule is recommended
(refer to the Maintenance Schedule in
chapter 8).
Additives are available from your
authorized HYUNDAI dealer along with
information on how to use them. Do not
mix other additives.
Operation in foreign countries
If you are going to drive your vehicle in
another country, be sure to:

[Observe all regulations regarding
registration and insurance.

[ Determine that acceptable fuel is
available.
[
This vehicle should not be modified.
Modification of your vehicle could
affect its performance, safety or
durability and may even violate
governmental safety and emissions
regulations.
In addition, damage or performance
problems resulting from any
modification may not be covered
under warranty.

[ If you use unauthorized electronic
devices, it may cause the vehicle to
operate abnormally, wire damage,
battery discharge and fire. For your

VEHICLE DATA COLLECTION
AND EVENT DATA
RECORDERS
This vehicle is equipped with an event
data recorder (EDR). The main purpose
of an EDR is to record, in certain crash
or near crash-like situations, such as
an air bag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle’s systems
performed. The EDR is designed to
record data related to vehicle dynamics
and safety systems for a short period of
time, typically 30 seconds or less. The
EDR in this vehicle is designed to record
such data as:

[ How various systems in your vehicle
were operating;

[ Whether or not the driver and
passenger safety belts were buckled/
fastened;

[ How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or
brake pedal; and,

[ How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE:
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle
only if a non-trivial crash situation
occurs; no data are recorded by the
EDR under normal driving conditions
and no personal data (e.g., name,
gender, age, and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties, such
as law enforcement, could combine the
EDR data with the type of personally
identifying data routinely acquired
during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR,
special equipment is required, and
access to the vehicle or the EDR is
needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, other parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the special
equipment, can read the information if
they have access to the vehicle or the
EDR.

Safety System3-20
NOTICE

[ Both the driver’s and front
passenger’s pre-tensioner seat belts
may be activated in certain frontal or
side collisions or rollovers.

[ When the pre-tensioner seat belts
are activated, a loud noise may be
heard and fine dust, which may
appear to be smoke, may be visible in
the passenger compartment. These
are normal operating conditions and
are not hazardous.

[ Although it is non-toxic, the fine
dust may cause skin irritation and
should not be inhaled for prolonged
periods. Wash all exposed skin areas
thoroughly after an accident in
which the pre-tensioner seat belts
were activated.
WARNING

[Fasten your seat belt while sitting
properly in an upright position to
maximize the effectiveness of the
pre-tensioner seat belt system.

[ A pre-tensioner seat belt system
is designed to activate only once.
Replace the pre-tensioner seat belt
system, if it was activated in an
accident.
Additional Seat Belt Safety
Precautions
Seat Belt use during Pregnancy
The seat belt should always be used
during pregnancy. The best way to
protect your unborn child is to protect
yourself by always wearing the seat belt.
Pregnant women should always wear
a lap-shoulder seat belt. Place the
shoulder belt across your chest, routed
between your breasts and away from
your neck. Place the lap belt line so
that it fits snugly and as low as possible
across the hips, not across the abdomen.
WARNING

[A pregnant woman or a patient is
more vulnerable to any imapcts on
the abdomen during an abrupt stop
or accident. If you are in an accident
while pregnant, we recommend you
consult your doctor.

[ To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death to an unborn child during an
accident, pregnant women should
NEVER place the lap portion of the
seat belt above or over the area of
the abdomen where the unborn child
is located.
Seat Belt use and Children
Infant and small children
All 50 states have child restraint laws
which r

equire children to travel in
approved child restraint devices,
including booster seats. The age at
which seat belts can be used instead
of child restraints differs among states,
so you should be aware of the specific
requirements in your state, and where
you are travelling. Infant and child
restraints must be properly placed
and installed in a rear seat. For more
information refer to the “Child Restraint
Systems” section in this chapter.

03
3-21
WARNING
ALWAYS properly restrain infants
and small children in a child restraint
appropriate for the child’s height and
weight.
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death to a child and other passengers,
NEVER hold a child in your lap or arms
when the vehicle is moving. The violent
forces created during an accident will
tear the child from your arms and throw
the child against the interior of the
vehicle.
Small children are best protected
from injury in an accident when
properly restrained in the rear seat
by a child restraint system that meets
the requirements of the Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards. Before buying
any child restraint system, make sure
that it has a label certifying that it meets
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
FMVSS 213. The restraint must be
appropriate for your child’s height and
weight. Check the label on the child
restraint for this information. Refer to the
“Child Restraint Systems” section in this
chapter.Larger children
Children under age 13 and who are too
lar
ge for a booster seat must always
occupy the rear seat and use the
available lap/shoulder belts. A seat belt
should lie across the upper thighs and
be snug across the shoulder and chest
to restrain the child safely. Check belt fit
periodically. Children are afforded the
most safety in the event of an accident
when they are restrained by a proper
restraint system and/or seat belts in the
rear seat. Always have the LATCH system
inspected by your authorized HYUNDAI
dealer after an accident. An accident can
damage the LATCH system and may not
properly secure the child restraint.
If a larger child over age 13 must be
seated in the front seat, the child must
be securely restrained by the available
lap/shoulder belt and the seat should be
placed in the rearmost position.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches the child’s neck or face, try
placing the child closer to the center
of the vehicle. If the shoulder belt still
touches their face or neck they need to
be returned to an appropriate booster
seat in the rear seat.
WARNING

[ Always make sure children are
wearing their seat belts and that they
are properly adjusted before driving.

[ NEVER allow the shoulder belt to
contact the child’s neck or face.

[ Do not allow more than one child to
use a single seat belt.

Safety System3-22
Transporting an Injured Person
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
Consult a physician for specific
recommendations.
One Person Per Belt
Two people (including children) should
never attempt to use a single seat belt.
This could increase the severity of
injuries in case of an accident.
Do Not Lie Down
Sitting in a reclined position when the
vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.
Even when buckled up, the protections
of your restraint system (seat belts and
air bags) is greatly reduced by reclining
your seatback.
To reduce the chance of injuries in the
event of an accident and to achieve the
maximum effectiveness of the restraint
system, all passengers should be sitting
up and the front and rear seats should
be in an upright position when the car is
moving.
A seat belt cannot provide proper
protection if the person is lying down in
the rear seat or if the front or rear seats
are in a reclined position.
WARNING

[ NEVER ride with a reclined seatback
when the vehicle is moving.

[ Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of serious
or fatal injuries in the event of a
collision or sudden stop.

[ Drivers and passengers should
always sit well back in their seats,
properly belted, and with the
seatbacks upright.
Care of Seat Belts
Seat belt systems should never be
disassembled or modified. In addition,
care should be taken to assure that seat
belts and belt hardware are not damaged
by seat hinges, doors or other abuse.
Periodic Inspection
All seat belts should be inspected
periodically for wear or damage of
any kind. Any damaged parts should
be replaced as soon as possible by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Keep Belts Clean and Dry
Seat belts should be kept clean and
dry. If belts become dirty, they can be
cleaned by using a mild soap solution
and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong
detergents or abrasives should not be
used because they may damage and
weaken the fabric.
When to Replace Seat Belts
The entire seat belt assembly or
assemblies should be replaced if the
vehicle has been involved in an accident.
This should be done even if no damage is
visible. Additional questions concerning
seat belt operation should be directed to
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Safety System3-24
Selecting a Child Restraint
System (CRS)
When selecting a CRS for your child,
always:

[ Make sure the CRS has a label
certifying that it meets applicable
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (FMVSS 213).

[ Select a child restraint based on
your child’s height and weight. The
required label or the instructions for
use typically provide this information.

[ Select a child restraint that fits the
vehicle seating position where it will
be used.

[ Read and comply with the warnings
and instructions for installation and
use provided with the child restraint
system.
Child Restraint System Types
There are three main types of child
restraint systems: rear-facing seats,
forward-facing seats, and booster seats.
They are classified according to the
child’s age, height and weight.
Rear-facing child seats
WARNING
NEVER install a child or infant restraint
in the front passenger’s seat.
Placing a rear-facing child restraint in
the front seat can result in SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH if the child restraint is
struck by an inflating air bag.
OQX039018N
A rear-facing child seat provides restraint
with the seating surface against the back
of the child. The harness system holds
the child in place, and in an accident,
acts to keep the child positioned in the
seat and reduce the stress to the neck
and spinal cord.
All children under age one must always
ride in a rear-facing infant child restraint.
Convertible and 3-in-1 child seats
typically have higher height and weight
limits for the rear-facing position,
allowing you to keep your child rear-
facing for a longer period of time.
Continue to use a rear-facing child seat
for as long as your child will fit within the
height and weight limits allowed by the
child seat manufacturer. It’s the best way
to keep them safe. Once your child has
outgrown the rear-facing child restraint,
your child is ready for a forward-facing
child restraint with a harness.
