Infant or Small Child All 50 states have child restraint laws. Youshould be aware of the specific requirements inyour state. Child and/or infant safety seats mustbe properly placed and installed in the rear seat. Information about the use of these re-

straints begins on page 1-14.

WARNING:Every person in your vehicle needs to beproperly restrained at all times, includinginfants and children. In a collision, an unre-strained child can become a "missile" in-side the car. The force required to hold achild on your lap could be so great that youcould not hold the child. Any child riding inthe vehicle should always be in a proper restraint in the rear seat of the vehicle.

NOTE:Small children are best protected from in-

 jury in an accident when properly restrainedin the rear seat by a child restraint systemthat meets the requirements of the FederalMotor Vehicle Safety Standards. Before buy-ing any child restraint system, make surethat it has a label certifying that it meetsMotor Vehicle Safety Standard 213. The re-straint must be appropriate for your child'sheight and weight. Check the label on the

child restraint for this information. See page1-14.

WARNING:The purpose of the fold-down rear seatbacksis to allow you to carry longer objects thancould otherwise be accommodated. Do notallow passengers to sit on top of the foldeddown seat back while the car is moving asthis is not a proper seating position and noseat belts are available for use. This couldresult in injury in case of an accident or sudden stop. Objects carried on the foldeddown seatback should not extend higher than the top of the front seats. This couldallow cargo to slide forward and cause in-

 jury or damage during sudden stops.

Injured Person A seat belt should be used when an injuredperson is being transported. When this is nec-essary, you should consult a physician for recommendations.

B150F01A-AAT

One Person Per BeltTwo people (including children) should never attempt to use a single seat belt. This couldincrease the severity of injuries in case of anaccident.

B150G01A-AAT

Do Not Lie DownTo reduce the chance of injuries in the event of an accident, and to achieve maximum effec-tiveness of the restraint system, all passengersshould be sitting up and the front seats shouldbe in an upright position when the car is mov-ing. A seat belt cannot provide proper protec-tion if the person is lying down in the rear seator if the front seat is in a reclined position.

WARNING:Sitting in a reclined position or lying downwhen your vehicle is in motion can be dan-gerous. Even if you buckle up, your seatbelts can't do their job when you're reclined.

The shoulder belt can't do its job because itwon't be against your body.Instead, it will be in front of you. In a crashyou could go into it with great force, receiv-

ing serious neck or other injuries.The lap belt can't do its job either. In a crashthe belt could go up over your abdomen.The belt forces would be applied there, notat your pelvic bones.This could cause serious internal injuries.For proper protection when the vehicle is in

WARNING:o A child restraint system must be placed

in the rear seat. Never install a child or infant seat on the front passenger's seat.Should an accident occur and cause thepassenger side airbag to deploy, it couldseverely injure or kill an infant or child

seated in an infant or child seat. Thus,only use a child restraint in the rear seatof your vehicle.

o Since a safety belt or child restraint sys-tem can become very hot if it is left in aclosed vehicle, be sure to check the seatcover and buckles before placing a childthere.

o When the child restraint system is not inuse, store it in the trunk or fasten it witha safety belt so that it will not be thrownforward in the case of a sudden stop or an accident.

o Children who are too large to be in achild restraint should still sit in the rear seat and be restrained with the availablelap/shoulder belts. Never allow childrento ride in the front passenger seat.

o Always make sure that the shoulder beltportion of the lap/shoulder belt is posi-tioned midway over the shoulder, never across the neck or behind the back. Mov-ing the child closer to the center of the

vehicle may help provide a good shoul-der belt fit. The lap belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt or the center seat lap belt

must always be positioned as lopossible on the child's hips and asas possible.

o If the seat belt will not properly child, we recommend the use of aproved booster seat in the rear sorder to raise the child's seating hso that the seat belt will properly child. Before purchasing a boostemake sure that it meets applicable Fal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan(FMVSS) and that it is satisfactouse with this vehicle.

o Never allow a child to stand up oron the seat.

o Never use an infant carrier or child seat that "hooks" over a seatback; not provide adequate security in andent.

o Never allow a child to be held in son's arms while they are in a mvehicle, as this could result in seinjury to the child in the event accident or a sudden stop.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMChildren riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always be properly restrained tominimize the risk of injury in an accident, sud-den stop or sudden maneuver. According toaccident statistics provided by the National High-way Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),children are safer when properly restrained inthe rear seats than in the front seat. Larger children should use one of the seat belts pro-vided. All 50 states have child restraint laws. Youshould be aware of the specific requirements inyour state. Child and/or infant safety seats mustbe properly placed and installed in the rear seat. You must use a commercially availablechild restraint system that meets the require-ments of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety

Standards (FMVSS).Children could be injured or killed in a crash if their restraints are not properly secured. For small children and babies, a child seat or infantseat must be used. Before buying a particular child restraint system, make sure it fits your car and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all theinstructions provided by the manufacturer wheninstalling the child restraint system.

NOTE:Be sure to read information about the SRSon the labels provided on the backside of the sun visor and in the glove box.

WARNING:o As its name implies, the SRS is designed

to work with, and be supplemental to, thedriver's and the passenger's three pointseat belt systems and is not a substitutefor them. Therefore, your seat belts mustbe worn at all times while the vehicle is inmotion. The airbags deploy only in cer-tain frontal impact conditions severeenough to cause significant injury to thevehicle occupants.

o The SRS is designed to deploy the airbagsonly when an impact is sufficiently severeand when the impact angle is less than

30° from the forward longitudinal axis of the vehicle and will not deploy in side,rear or rollover impacts. Additionally, theairbags will only deploy once. Thus, seatbelts must be worn at all times.

o Front airbags are not intended deploy inlight collisions in which protection canbe provided by the seat belt.

o Front airbags are not intended to deployin side-impact, rear-impact or rollover crashes. In addition, airbags will not de-ploy in frontal crashes below the deploy-ment threshold speed.

o The driver should sit back as far as pos-sible while still maintaining control of the

vehicle. If you are sitting too close to theairbag, it can cause death or seriousinjury when it inflates.

o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules on the steering wheel,instrument panel, and the frontpassenger's panel above the glovebox, because any such object couldcause harm if the vehicle is in a crashsevere enough to cause the airbags todeploy.

o If the airbags deploy, they must be re-placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.

WARNING:o When the SRS is activated, there may be

a loud noise and fine dust will be re-leased throughout the vehicle. Theseconditions are normal and are not haz-ardous. However, the fine dust generat-ed during airbag deployment may cause

skin irritation. Be sure to wash your handsand face thoroughly with lukewarm wa-ter and a mild soap after an accident inwhich the airbags were deployed.

o The SRS can function only when theignition key is in the "ON" position. If theSRS SRI does not come on or illumi-nates continuously when the ignition keyis turned to "ON", or continuously re-mains on after flashing for about 6 sec-onds when the ignition key is turned tothe "ON" position, or after the engine is

started, or comes on while driving, theSRS is not working properly. If this oc-curs, have your vehicle immediately in-spected by your Hyundai dealer.

o Before you replace a fuse or disconnecta battery terminal, turn the ignition key tothe "LOCK" position or remove the igni-tion key. Never remove or replace the air bag related fuse(s) when the ignition keyis in the "ON" position. Failure to heedthis warning will cause the SRS SRI toilluminate.

Parking Brake/Brake Fluid

Level Warning Light

WARNING:If you suspect brake trouble, have your brakes checked by a Hyundai dealer as soonas possible. Driving your car with a problem

in either the brake electrical system or brakehydraulic system is dangerous, and couldresult in a serious injury or death.

Warning Light OperationThe parking brake/brake fluid level warning lightshould come on when the parking brake is ap-plied and the ignition switch is turned to "ON" or "START". After the engine is started, the lightshould go out in three seconds.If the parking brake is not applied, the warninglight should come on when the ignition switch isturned to "ON" or "START", then go out in threeseconds. If the light comes on at any other time,you should slow the vehicle and bring it to acomplete stop in a safe location off the roadway.The brake warning light indicates that the brakefluid level in the brake master cylinder is low andhydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications should be added. After adding fluid, if no other trouble is found, the car should be immediately and carefully driven to aHyundai dealer for inspection. If further trouble is

experienced, the vehicle should not be driven atall but taken to a dealer by a professional towingservice or some other safe method.

Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-diagonalbraking systems. This means you still have brak-ing on two wheels even if one of the dual systemsshould fail. With only one of the dual systemsworking, more than normal pedal travel andgreater pedal pressure are required to stop thecar. Also, the car will not stop in as short adistance with only half of the brake system work-

ing. If the brakes fail while you are driving, shift toa lower gear for additional engine braking andstop the car as soon as it is safe to do so.

FM reception

SSAR010A

 AM and FM radio signals are broadcast fromtransmitter towers located around your city.They are intercepted by the radio antenna onyour car. This signal is then received by the

radio and sent to your car speakers.When a strong radio signal has reached your vehicle, the precise engineering of your audiosystem ensures high quality reproduction. How-ever, in some cases the signal coming to your vehicle is not strong and clear. This can be dueto factors such as the distance from the radiostation, closeness of other strong radio stationsor the presence of buildings, bridges or other large obstructions in the area.

 AM broadcasts can be received at greater dis-tances than FM broadcasts. This is because AM radio waves are transmitted at low fre-quency. These long, low frequency radio wavescan follow the curvature of the earth rather thantravelling straight out into the atmosphere. Inaddition, they curve around obstructions so thatthey can provide better signal coverage.

FM broadcasts are transmitted at high frecy and do not bend to follow the earth's suBecause of this, FM broadcasts generallyto fade at short distances from the stationFM signals are easily affected by buimountains, or other obstructions. Thesresult in certain listening conditions whichlead you to believe a problem exists wit

Your Hyundai's manual transaxle has a con-ventional shift pattern. This shift pattern is im-printed on the shift knob. The transaxle is fullysynchronized in all forward gears so shifting toeither a higher or a lower gear is easily accom-plished.

NOTE:o To shift into reverse, rest the lever in

neutral for at least 3 seconds after your car is completely stopped. Then movethe lever into the reverse position.

o During cold weather, shifting may be dif-ficult until the transaxle lubricant haswarmed up. This is normal and not harm-ful to the transaxle.

o Do not use the shift lever as a handrestduring driving, as this can result in pre-mature wear of the transaxle shift forks.

CAUTION:When downshifting from fifth gear to fourthgear, caution should be taken not to inad-vertently press the gear shift lever sidewaysin such a manner that second gear is en-gaged. Such a drastic downshift may causethe engine speed to increase to the pointthat the tachometer will enter the red zone.Such over-revving of the engine may possi-bly cause engine damage.

o Exercise extreme caution when driving on aslippery surface. Be especially careful whenbraking, accelerating or shifting gears. On aslippery surface, an abrupt change in vehi-

cle speed can cause the drive wheels tolose traction and the vehicle to go out of control.

WARNING:o The risk of rollover is greatly increased if 

you lose control of your vehicle at high-way speeds.

o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the roadway andthe driver oversteers to reenter the road-

way.o In the event your vehicle leaves the road-

way, do not steer sharply. Instead, slowdown before pulling back into the travellanes.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM(If installed)The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designedto prevent wheel lock-up during sudden brakingor on hazardous road surfaces. The ABS con-trol module monitors the wheel speed and con-trols the pressure applied to each brake. Thus,in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABSwill increase vehicle control during braking.

NOTE:During ABS operation, a slight pulsationmay be felt in the brake pedal when thebrakes are applied. Also, a noise may beheard in the engine compartment while brak-ing. These conditions are normal and indi-cate that the anti-lock brake system is func-tioning properly.

ahead. Vehicle speeds should always bereduced during extreme road conditions.The braking distance for cars equipped withan anti-lock braking system may be longer than for those without it in the followingroad conditions.

o Driving on rough, gravel or snow-cov-ered roads.

o Driving with tire chains installed.o Driving on roads where the road surface

is pitted or has different surface height.

During these conditions the vehicle shouldbe driven at reduced speeds. The safety

features of an ABS equipped vehicle shouldnot be tested by high speed driving or cor-nering. This could endanger the safety of yourself or others.

On slippery road surfaces, the traction csystem (TCS) limits the drive wheels fromning excessively, thus helping the car to erate. It also provides sufficient drivingand steering performance as the car tuaccelerated speeds.

SLIP ControlLimits the drive wheels from spinning sively during starting or while making acced turns on slippery roads to avoid losidriving force of the front wheels.

Driving hintsTCS does not actively apply brakes. Be sdecelerate the car sufficiently before encurves.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

o Remember, your Hyundai does not requireextended warm-up. As soon as the engine isrunning smoothly, you can drive away. Invery cold weather, however, give your en-gine a slightly longer warm-up period.

o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Luggingis driving too slowly in too high a gear 

o Take care of your tires. Keep them inflatedto the recommended pressure. Incorrect in-flation, either too much or too little, results inunnecessary tire wear. Check the tire pres-sures at least once a month.

o Be sure that the wheels are aligned correct-ly. Improper alignment can result from hitting

as well as greater fuel consumption.o Keep your car in good condition. For better 

fuel economy and reduced maintenancecosts, maintain your car in accordance withthe maintenance schedule in Section 5. If you drive your car in severe conditions,more frequent maintenance is required (seeSection 5 for details).

o Keep your car clean. For maximum service,your Hyundai should be kept clean and freeof corrosive materials. It is especially impor-tant that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed toaccumulate on the underside of the car. Thisextra weight can result in increased fuelconsumption and also contribute to corro-sion.

o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary weightin your car. Weight reduces fuel economy.

o Don't let the engine idle longer than neces-sary. If you are waiting (and not in traffic),turn off your engine and restart only whenyou're ready to go.

NOTE:Before towing, check the level of the tran-saxle fluid. If it is below the "HOT" mark onthe dipstick, add fluid. If you cannot addfluid, a towing dolly must be used as de-scribed above.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

CAUTION:If the car is being towed with all four wheelson the ground, it can be towed only from thefront. Be sure that the transaxle is in neutral.Do not tow at speeds greater than 30 mph(50 km/h) and for more than 15 miles (25km). Be sure the steering is unlocked byplacing the key in the "ACC" position.

Protecting Your Hyundai from Corro-

sionBy using the most advanced design and con-struction practices to combat corrosion, Hyundaiproduces cars of the highest quality, However,this is only part of the job. To achieve the long-term corrosion resistance your Hyundai candeliver, the owner’s cooperation and assistanceis also required.

E010B01A-AAT

Common Causes of CorrosionThe most common causes of corrosion on your 

car are:o Road salt, dirt and moisture that is allowed

to accumulate underneath the car.o Removal of paint or protective coatings by

stones, gravel, abrasion or minor scrapesand dents which leave unprotected metalexposed to corrosion.

E010C01A-AAT

High-Corrosion AreasIf you live in an area where your car is regularlyexposed to corrosive materials, corrosion pro-

sion is most likely to occur. For example, cor-rosion is accelerated by high humidity, particu-

larly when temperatures are just above freez-ing. In such conditions, the corrosive material iskept in contact with the car surfaces by mois-ture that is slow to evaporate.Mud is particularly corrosive because it is slowto dry and holds moisture in contact with thevehicle. Although the mud appears to be dry, itcan still retain the moisture and promote corro-sion.High temperatures can also accelerate corro-sion of parts that are not properly ventilated sothe moisture can be dispersed. For all these

reasons, it is particularly important to keep your car clean and free of mud or accumulations of other materials. This applies not only to thevisible surfaces but particularly to the undersideof the car.

TO HELP PREVENT CORROSIONYou can help prevent corrosion from gettingstarted by observing the following:

Don’t Neglect the Interior 

Moisture can collect under the floor mats andcarpeting to cause corrosion.

If you live near the ocean or in an area whereroad salts or dust control chemicals are used,you should pay particular attention to the under-side of the car. Start by rinsing the car toremove dust and loose dirt. In winter, or if youhave driven through mud or muddy water, besure to thoroughly clean the underside as well.Use a hard direct stream of water to removeaccumulations of mud or corrosive materials.Use a good quality car-washing solution and

Before checking the oil, warm up the engine tothe normal operating temperature and be sureyour car is parked on level ground. Turn theengine off.Wait a minute, then remove the dipstick, wipe itoff, fully reinsert the dipstick and withdraw itagain. Then note the highest level the oil hasreached on the dipstick. It should be between

the upper ("FULL") and lower ("LOW") range.

If the oil level is close to or below the "LOW"mark, add oil until it reaches the "FULL" mark.To add oil:

1. Remove the oil filler cap by turning it counter-clockwise.

2. Add oil, then check the level again. Do notoverfill.

3. Replace the cap by turning it clockwise.

The distance between the "FULL" and "LOW"marks is equal to about 1 quart of oil.

The engine oil and filter should be chanthose intervals specified in the mainteschedule in Section 5. If the car is being in severe conditions, more frequent oil anchanges are required.

The procedure for changing the oil and as follows:

1. Park the car on level ground and sparking brake. Start the engine andwarm up until the needle on the ctemperature gauge moves above the mark. Turn the engine off and place thselector lever in "P" (automatic) or rgear (manual transaxle). Set the pbrake.

2. Open the hood and remove the engfiller cap.

To Check the Coolant LevelThe coolant level can be seen on the side of theplastic coolant reservoir. The level of the cool-ant should be between the "LOW" and "FULL"lines on the reservoir when the engine is cold.If the level is below the "LOW" mark, addengine coolant to bring it up between "LOW"and "FULL". If the level is low, inspect for coolant leaks and recheck the fluid level fre-quently. If the level drops again, visit your Hyundai dealer for an inspection and diagnosisof the reason.

1. Park the car on level ground, set the park-ing brake and remove the radiator cap whencool.

2. Be sure your drain receptacle is in place.Open the drain cock on the radiator. Allowall the engine coolant to drain from thecooling system, then securely close the draincock.

1. Crankcase Emission ControlSystem

The Positive Crankcase Ventilation System isemployed to prevent air pollution caused byblow-by gases being emitted from the crank-case. This system supplies fresh filtered air tothe crankcase through the air intake hose.Inside the crankcase, the fresh air mixes withblow-by gases, which then pass through thePCV valve and into the induction system.

Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PThe purge control solenoid valve is conby the Engine Control Module (ECM); whengine coolant temperature is low duringthe PCSV closes so that evaporated fuetaken into the engine.

2. Evaporative Emission Control (In-cluding ORVR: Onboard RefuelingVapor Recovery) System

The Evaporative Emission Control System isdesigned to prevent fuel vapors from escapinginto the atmosphere.(The ORVR system is designed to allow thevapors from the fuel tank to be loaded intoa canister while refueling at the gas station,preventing the escape of fuel vapors into

the atmosphere.)

Canister Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel tank areabsorbed and stored in the onboard canister.When the engine is running, the fuel vaporsabsorbed in the canister are drawn into theinduction system through the purge control so-lenoid valve.

3. Exhaust Emission Control SyThe Exhaust Emission Control Systemhighly effective system which controls eemissions while maintaining good vehicformance.

There are three emission control systems whichare as follows.

1) Crankcase Emission Control System2) Evaporative Emission Control System3) Exhaust Emission Control System

In order to ensure the proper function of theemission control systems, it is recommendedthat you have your car inspected and main-tained by an authorized Hyundai dealer in ac-cordance with the maintenance schedule in this

manual.

Caution for Inspection and Maintenance Test(Vehicle with Traction Control System)

o To prevent the vehicle from misfiringduring dynamometer testing, disconnectthe ABS connector located inside of thewheel guard (driver side).

o For more information, see shop manual(BR Group, Wheel Speed Sensor).

CATALYTIC CONVERTER

Catalytic Conv(California)

SS

Catalytic Converter (Federal, California)

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS

 All Hyundai vehicles are equipped with one or two monolith type three-way catalytic convert-ers to reduce the carbon monoxide, hydrocar-bons and nitrogen oxides contained in the ex-haust gas. Exhaust gases passing through thecatalytic converter cause it to operate at a veryhigh temperature. The introduction of largeamounts of unburned gasoline into the exhaustmay cause the catalytic converter to overheatand create a fire hazard. This risk may bereduced by observing the following:

o Do not touch the catalytic converter or any other part of the exhaust systemwhile the catalytic converter is hot. Shutoff the engine, wait for at least one hour before touching the catalytic converter or any other part of the exhaust system.

o Remember that your Hyundai dealer isyour best source of assistance.

o Do not stop your Hyundai over any com-bustible material such as grass, paper,leaves or rags. These materials might
