VEHICLE DATA COLLECTION AND EVENT DATA RECORDERS

This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is torecord, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hittinga road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle's systems performed. TheEDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a shortperiod of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record suchdata as:

o How various systems in your vehicle were operating;o Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;

These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes andinjuries 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 lawenforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinelyacquired during a crash investigation.To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle orthe EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as lawenforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access tothe vehicle or the EDR.

B020A01S-AAT

During the First 1200 Miles (2000Km)

No formal "break-in" procedure is requiredwith your new Hyundai. However, youcan contribute to the economical opera-

tion and durability of your Hyundai byobserving the following recommenda-tions during the first 1200 miles (2000km).

o Don't drive faster than 55 MPH (88 km/ h).

o While driving, keep your engine speed(rpm, or revolutions per minute) be-tween 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.

o Use moderate acceleration. Don't startquickly or depress the acceleratorpedal fully.

o For the first 200 miles (300 km), try toavoid hard stops.

o Don't lug the engine (in other words,don't drive so slowly in too high a gearthat the engine "bucks"-shift to a lowergear).

o Whether going fast or slow, vary yourspeed from time to time.

o Don't let the engine idle longer than 3minutes at one time.

o Don't tow a trailer during the first 1,200miles (2,000 km) of operation.

SEAT BELTS-Front Passenger andRear Seat 3-Point System with Com-bination Locking Retractor :

To Fasten Your Belt

Combination retractor type seat belts are

installed in the rear seat outboard andcenter positions to help accommodatethe installation of child restraint systems.Hyundai strongly recommends that chil-dren always be seated in the rear seat.NEVER place any infant restraint systemin the front seat of the vehicle.This type of seat belt combines the fea-tures of both an emergency locking re-tractor seat belt and an automatic lockingretractor seat belt. To fasten your seatbelt, pull it out of the retractor and insertthe metal tab into the buckle. There willbe an audible "click" when the tab locksinto the buckle. When not securing a childrestraint, the seat belt operates in thesame way as the driver's seat belt (Emer-gency Locking Retractor Type). It auto-matically adjusts to the proper length onlyafter the lap belt portion of the seat belt isadjusted manually so that it fits snugly

around your hips.

*1) Warning pattern repeats 11 times withan interval of 24 seconds. If the driver'sseat belt is buckled, the light will stopwithin 6 seconds and chime will stopimmediately.

*2) The light will stop within 6 secondsand chime will stop immediately.

Adjusting Your Seat Belt

WARNING:You should place the lap belt portion aslow as possible and snugly across yourhips, not on your waist. If the lap belt islocated too high on your waist, it mayincrease the chance of injury in the eventof a collision. Both arms should not beunder or over the belt. Rather, one shouldbe over and the other under, as shown inthe illustration.Never wear the seat belt under the arm

nearest the door.

B200A01NF

o Children age 12 and younger mustalways be properly restrained in therear seat. Never allow children toride in the front passenger seat. If a

child over 13 must be seated in thefront seat, he/she must be properlybelted and the seat should be movedas far back as possible.

o Never wear the shoulder belt underyour arm or behind your back. Animproperly positioned shoulder beltcan cause serious injuries in a crash.The shoulder belt should be posi-tioned midway over your shoulder

across your collarbone.o Avoid wearing twisted seat belts. Atwisted belt can't do its job as well. Ina collision, it could even cut into you.Be sure the belt webbing is straightand not twisted.

o Be careful not to damage the beltwebbing or hardware. If the belt web-bing or hardware is damaged, re-place it.

When the seat belt is fully extended fromthe retractor to allow the installation of achild restraint system, the seat belt opera-tion changes to allow the belt to retract,but not to extend (Automatic LockingRetractor Type). See page 1-38.

NOTE:Although the combination retractor pro-vides the same level of protection forseated passengers in either emergencyor automatic locking modes, it is recom-mended that seated passengers use theemergency locking feature for improvedconvenience. The automatic lockingfunction is intended to facilitate childrestraint installation. To convert fromthe automatic locking feature to theemergency locking operation mode, al-low the unbuckled seat belt to fully re-tract.

! WARNING:o For maximum restraint system pro-

tection, seat belts must always beused whenever the car is moving.

o Seat belts are most effective whenseatbacks are in the upright posi-tion.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM

B230A05A-AAT

Children riding in the car should sit in therear seat and must always be properlyrestrained to minimize the risk of injury inan accident, sudden stop or suddenmaneuver. According to accident statis-tics provided by the National Highway

Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),children are safer when properly re-strained in the rear seats than in the frontseat. Larger children not in a child re-straint should use one of the seat beltsprovided.All 50 states have child restraint laws.You should be aware of the specific re-quirements in your state. Child and/orinfant safety seats must be properly placed

and installed in the rear seat. You mustuse a commercially available child re-straint system that meets the requirementsof the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-dards (FMVSS).Child restraint systems are designed tobe secured in vehicle seats by lap beltsor the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulderbelt, or by a LATCH system.Children could be injured or killed in acrash if their restraints are not properly

secured.

The purpose of the SRS is to provide thevehicle's driver and/or the front passen-ger with additional protection than thatoffered by the seat belt system alone incase of a frontal impact of sufficient sever-ity. The SRS uses sensors to gather infor-mation about the driver's and front

passenger's seat position, the driver's andfront passenger's seat belt usage andimpact severity.

The driver's and front passenger's seattrack position sensors (If Installed), whichare installed on the seat track, determineif the seats are fore or aft of a referenceposition. The seat belt buckle sensorsdetermine if the driver and frontpassenger's seat belts are fastened.

These sensors provide the ability to con-trol the SRS deployment based on howclose the driver's seat is to the steeringwheel, how close the passenger's seat isto the instrument panel, whether or notthe seat belts are fastened, and howsevere the impact is.

The advanced SRS offers the ability tocontrol the airbag inflation within two lev-els. A first stage level is provided formoderate-severity impacts. A secondstage level is provided for more severeimpacts.

According to the impact severity, seatingposition and seat belt usage, theSRSCM(SRS Control Module) controlsthe airbag inflation. Failure to properlywear seat belts can increase the risk orseverity of injury in an accident.

Additionally, your Hyundai is equippedwith an occupant classification system inthe front passenger's seat. The occupantclassification system detects the pres-

ence of a passenger in the frontpassenger's seat and will turn off the frontpassenger's airbag under certain condi-tions. For more detail, see "Occupant Clas-sification System" later in this section.

ploy in a crash.o If the SRS airbag warning light (seepg 1-64) remains illuminated whilethe vehicle is being driven, have anauthorized Hyundai dealer inspectthe airbag system as soon as pos-sible.

o Airbags can only be used once –have an authorized Hyundai dealerreplace the airbag immediately afterdeployment.

o The SRS is designed to deploy thefront airbags only when an impact issufficiently severe and when the im-pact angle is within a range as mea-sured from the forward longitudinalaxis of the vehicle. The front airbagswill not deploy in side, rear or rolloverimpacts. Additionally, the airbags willonly deploy once. Seat belts must beworn at all times.

! WARNING:o No objects should be placed over or

near the airbag modules on the steer-ing wheel, instrument panel, and thefront passenger's panel above the

glove box, because any such objectcould cause harm if the vehicle is ina crash severe enough to cause theairbags to deploy.

o If the airbags deploy, they must bereplaced by an authorized Hyundaidealer. Deployed airbags WILL NOTinflate again and will provide no pro-tection in subsequent collisions.

o Do not tamper with or disconnectSRS wiring or other components of

the SRS system. Doing so couldresult in injury, due to accidentaldeployment of the airbags or by ren-dering the SRS inoperative.

o Even though your vehicle is equippedwith the occupant classification sys-tem, do not install a child restraintsystem in the front passenger seatposition. A child restraint systemmust never be placed in the front

seat.

An infant or child could be severelyinjured or killed by an airbag deploy-ment in case of an accident.

o Children younger than 13 years must

always be properly restrained in therear seat. Never allow children toride in the front passenger seat. If achild over 13 must be seated in thefront seat, he or she must be prop-erly belted and the seat should bemoved as far back as possible.

o For maximum safety protection in alltypes of crashes, all occupants in-cluding the driver should always weartheir seat belts whether or not an

airbag is also provided at their seat-ing position to minimize the risk ofsevere injury or death in the event ofa crash. Do not sit or lean unneces-sarily close to the airbag while thevehicle is in motion.

The SRSCM continually monitors all ele-ments while the ignition is "ON" to deter-mine if a frontal or near-frontal impact issevere enough to require airbag deploy-ment or pre-tensioner seat belt deploy-ment.

The SRS "AIR BAG" warning light on theinstrument panel will illuminate for about6 seconds after the ignition key is turnedto the "ON" position or after the engine isstarted, after which the "AIR BAG" warn-ing light should go out.

B240B01L

Upon deployment, tear seams moldeddirectly into the pad covers will separateunder pressure from the expansion of theairbags. Further opening of the coversthen allows full inflation of the airbags.

The airbag modules are located both inthe center of the steering wheel and in thefront passenger's panel above the glovebox. When the SRSCM detects a suffi-ciently severe impact to the front of thevehicle, it will automatically deploy thefront airbags.

B240B02L

A fully inflated airbag, in combination witha properly worn seat belt, slows the driver'sor the passenger's forward motion, re-ducing the risk of head and chest injury.

After complete inflation, the airbag imme-diately starts deflating, enabling the driverto maintain forward visibility and the abil-ity to steer or operate other controls.

o When installing a container of liquidair freshener inside the vehicle, donot place it near the instrument clus-ter nor on the instrument panel sur-face. If there is any leakage from theair freshener onto these areas (in-

strument cluster, instrument panelor air ventilator), it may damage theseparts. If the liquid from the air fresh-ener does leak onto these areas,wash them with water immediately.

WARNING:o If an airbag deploys, there may be a

loud noise followed by a fine dustreleased in the vehicle. These con-ditions are normal and are not haz-ardous - the airbags are packed inthis fine powder. The dust generatedduring airbag deployment may causeskin or eye irritation as well as ag-gravate asthma for some persons.Always wash all exposed skin areasthoroughly with lukewarm water anda mild soap after an accident in whichthe airbags were deployed.

o The SRS can function only when theignition key is in the "ON" position. If

the SRS "AIR BAG" warning lightdoes not illuminate, or continuouslyremains on after illuminating forabout 6 seconds when the ignitionkey is turned to the "ON" position, orafter the engine is started, comes onwhile driving, the SRS is not workingproperly. If this occurs, have yourvehicle immediately inspected byyour Hyundai dealer.

move or replace the airbag relatedfuse(s) when the ignition key is in the"ON" position. Failure to heed thiswarning will cause the SRS "AIRBAG" warning light to illuminate.

WARNING:

The occupant classification system cre-ates a field which is designed to detectthe presence of a properly-seated frontpassenger and determine if thepassenger's front air bag should be en-abled (may inflate) or not. The driver'sfront air bag is not affected or controlledby the occupant classification system.

Main components of occupant clas-sification system An Electronic Capacity measurement

system in the front passenger seatwhich detects major characteristics ofa person or object on the seat.

• Electronic system to determine whetherthe passenger air bag systems (bothfront and side) should be activated or

deactivated.• A warning light located on the instru-

ment panel which illuminates the words"PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicat-ing the front passenger air bag systemis deactivated.

• The instrument panel air bag warninglight is interconnected with the occu-pant classification system.

! WARNING:If the occupant classification system isnot working properly, the SRS air bagwarning light on the instrument panelwill illuminate because the passenger'sfront air bag is connected with the occu-

pant classification system. If there is amalfunction of the occupant classifica-tion system, the "PASSENGER AIR BAGOFF" indicator will not illuminate and thepassenger's front air bag will inflate infrontal impact crashes even if there is nooccupant in the front passenger's seat.If the SRS air bag warning light does notilluminate when the ignition switch isturned to the ON position, remains illu-

minated after approximately 6 secondswhen the ignition switch is turned to theON position, or if it illuminates while thevehicle is being driven, have an autho-rized HYUNDAI dealer inspect the occu-pant classification system and the SRSair bag system as soon as possible.

! WARNING:o Accident statistics show that chil-

dren are safer if they are restrainedin the rear, as opposed to the frontseat. It is recommended that childrestraints be secured in a rear seat,

including an infant riding in a rear-facing infant seat, a child riding in aforward-facing child seat and an olderchild riding in a booster seat.

o Air bags can only be used once –have an authorized HYUNDAI dealerreplace the air bag immediately afterdeployment.

o The occupant classification systemmay not work properly if water, cof-

fee or any other liquid including raingets on the seat. Keep the front seatdry at all times.

o Do not place an electronic devicesuch as a laptop computer on thefront passenger seat. Its electronicfield may cause the OCS to switch tothe "on" condition and thus allow thepassenger airbag to deploy need-lessly in a collision, increasing yourrepair costs.

Side Impact Airbag

Your Hyundai is equipped with a sideimpact airbag in each front seat. Thepurpose of the airbag is to provide the

vehicle's driver and/or the front passen-ger with additional protection than thatoffered by the seat belt alone. The sideimpact airbags are designed to deployonly during certain side-impact collisions,depending on the crash severity, angle,speed and point of impact. The side im-pact airbags are not designed to deployin all side impact situations.

SRS Care

The SRS is virtually maintenance-freeand there are no parts you can safelyservice by yourself. If the SRS "AIR BAG"warning light does not illuminate, or con-tinuously remains on, have your vehicleimmediately inspected by your Hyundaidealer.

Any work on the SRS system, such asremoving, installing, repairing, or any workon the steering wheel must be performedby a qualified Hyundai technician. Im-proper handling of the SRS system mayresult in serious personal injury.

HSM393

! WARNING:o To maintain the integrity of the Cur-

tain Airbag system, any work, re-moval or installation of the airbagand associated components (suchas roof lining and side trims) should

only be performed by an authorizedHyundai dealer.

WARNING:o Do not install a child restraint sys-

tem in the front passenger seat po-sition.A child restraint system must neverbe placed in the front seat. The infant

or child could be severely injured byan airbag deployment in case of anaccident.

o Modification to SRS components orwiring, including the addition of anykind of badges to the pad covers ormodifications 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 onewhich has been moistened with plainwater. Solvents or cleaners couldadversely affect the airbag coversand proper deployment of the sys-tem.

Additional Safety Precautions

o Never let passengers ride in thecargo area (trunk) or on top of afolded-down back seat. All occupantsshould sit upright, fully back in theirseats with their seat belts on and theirfeet on the floor.

o Passengers should not move out ofor change seats while the vehicle ismoving. A passenger who is not wear-ing a seat belt during a crash or emer-gency stop can be thrown against theinside of the vehicle, against otheroccupants, or out of the vehicle.

o Each seat belt is designed to re-strain one occupant. If more than oneperson uses the same seat belt, they

could be seriously injured or killed ina collision.

o Do not use any accessories on seatbelts. Devices claiming to improve oc-cupant comfort or reposition the seatbelt can reduce the protection pro-vided by the seat belt and increase thechance of serious injury in a crash.

o Passengers should not place hard orsharp objects between themselves

and the airbags. Carrying hard orsharp objects on your lap or in yourmouth can result in injuries if an airbaginflates.

! WARNING:o No objects should be placed over or

near the airbag modules on the steer-ing wheel, instrument panel, and thefront passenger's panel above theglove box, because any such object

could cause harm if the vehicle is ina crash severe enough to cause theairbags to inflate.

o If the airbags inflate, they must bereplaced by an authorized Hyundaidealer.

o Do not tamper with or disconnectSRS wiring, or other components ofthe SRS system. Doing so could re-sult in injury, due to accidental infla-

tion of the airbags or by renderingthe SRS inoperative.

o If components of the airbag systemmust be discarded, or if the vehiclemust be scrapped, certain safetyprecautions must be observed. YourHyundai dealer knows these precau-tions and can give you the neces-sary information. Failure to followthese precautions and procedurescould increase the risk of personalinjury.

! WARNING:o If your car was flooded and has

soaked carpeting or there is wateron the floor, do not start the engine;have the car towed to an authorizedHyundai dealer.

minutes to expel the hot air.o When you are using the air condition-

ing system, keep all windows closed tokeep hot air out.

o When moving slowly, as in heavy traf-

fic, shift to a lower gear.This increases engine speed, which inturn increases the speed of the airconditioning compressor.

o On steep grades, turn the air condi-tioning off to avoid the possibility of theengine overheating.

o During winter months or in periodswhen the air conditioning is not usedregularly, run the air conditioning once

every month for a few minutes.This will help circulate the lubricantsand keep your system in peak operat-ing condition.

For dehumidified heating:

o Turn on the fan control switch.o Push the air conditioning switch. The

air conditioning indicator light should

come on at the same time.o Set the air intake control switch to the

fresh air ( ) position.o Adjust the fan control to the desired

one of the higher speeds.o Adjust the temperature control to pro-

vide the desired amount of warmth.

o Station Swapping - As an FM signalweakens, another more powerful sig-nal near the same frequency may be-gin to play. This is because your radiois designed to lock onto the clearestsignal. If this occurs, select anotherstation with a stronger signal.

o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio sig-nals being received from several di-rections can cause distortion or flutter-ing. This can be caused by a direct andreflected signal from the same station,or by signals from two stations withclose frequencies. If this occurs, selectanother station until the condition haspassed.

o Fading - As your car moves away fromthe radio station, the signal willweaken and sound will begin to fade.When this occurs, we suggest that youselect another stronger station.

o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals orlarge obstructions between the trans-mitter and your radio can disturb thesignal causing static or fluttering noisesto occur. Reducing the treble levelmay lessen this effect until the distur-bance clears.

! WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!C010A03A-AAT

Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open thewindows immediately.

o Do not inhale exhaust fumes.Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death byasphyxiation.

p y

o Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If you heara change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the car, have the exhaustsystem checked as soon as possible by your Hyundai dealer.

o Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the engine in yourgarage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out.

o Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car.If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an open areawith the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior.

If you must drive with the trunk lid/ tail gate open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary:1. Close all windows.2. Open side vents.3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds.To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the windshieldare kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.

o Do not make quick steering wheelmovements, such as sharp lanechanges or fast, sharp turns.

o The risk of rollover is greatly in-creased if you lose control of yourvehicle at highway speeds.

o Loss of control often occurs if two ormore wheels drop off the roadwayand the driver oversteers to reenterthe roadway.

o Do not make quick steering wheelmovements, such as sharp lanechanges or fast, sharp turns.

o The risk of rollover is greatly in-creased if you lose control of yourvehicle at highway speeds.

o Loss of control often occurs if two ormore wheels drop off the roadwayand the driver oversteers to reenterthe roadway.

fuel economy and smooth driving. Ifengine braking is needed in the "D"range or if repeated upshifting anddownshifting between the 3rd and 4thgear is needed when climbing a gentleslope, it is recommended that the over-drive switch be turned off. Turn theoverdrive switch back on immediately

afterward.

o Never take the car out of gear andcoast down a hill. This may be ex-tremely hazardous. Always leave thecar in gear when moving.

o Do not "ride" the brakes. This cancause them to overheat and malfunc-tion. Instead, when you are drivingdown a long hill, slow down and shiftto a lower gear. When you do this,engine braking will help slow the car.

o Slow down before shifting to a lowergear. Otherwise, the lower gear maynot be engaged.

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS

D030A02A-AAT

If your temperature gauge indicates over-heating, you experience a loss of power,or hear loud pinging or knocking, theengine is probably too hot. If this hap-pens, you should:

1. Pull off the road and stop as soon asit is safe to do so.

2. Place the gear selector lever in "P"(automatic), or neutral (manualtransaxle) and set the parking brake. Ifthe air conditioner is on, turn it off.

3. Attach the clamps of the jumper cablein the exact location shown on theprevious page. First, attach one clampof the jumper cable to the positive (+)post or cable of the discharged battery.Then attach the other end of the samecable to the positive (+) post or cableof the booster battery. Next, using theother cable, attach one clamp to thenegative (-) post or cable of the boosterbattery. Then attach the other end of

that cable to a solid metal part of theengine away from the battery. Do not

3. If coolant is running out under the caror steam is coming out from under-neath the hood, stop the engine. Donot open the hood until the coolanthas stopped running or the steaminghas stopped. If there is no visible lossof coolant and no steam, leave theengine running and check to be sure

the engine cooling fan is operating. Ifthe fan is not running, turn the engineoff.

4. Check to see if the water pump drivebelt is missing. If it is not missing,check to see that it is tight. If the drivebelt seems to be satisfactory, check forcoolant leaking from the radiator, hosesor under the car. (If the air conditionerhad been in use, it is normal for coldwater to be draining from it when youstop).

connect the cable to any moving part.4. Start the engine in the car with the

booster battery and let it run for a fewminutes. This will help to assure thatthe booster battery is fully charged.During the jumping operation, run theengine in this vehicle at about 2000rpm.

5. Start the engine in the car with thedischarged battery using the normalstarting procedure. After the enginestarts, leave the jumper cables con-nected and let the engine run at fastidle or about 2000 rpm for severalminutes.

6. Carefully remove the jumper cables inthe reverse order of attachment.

!WARNING:

While the engine is running, keep hands,long hair and clothing away from mov-ing parts such as the fan and drive beltsto prevent injury.

5. If the water pump drive belt is brokenor coolant is leaking out, stop the en-

gine immediately and call the nearestHyundai dealer for assistance.

!

6. If you cannot find the cause of theoverheating, wait until the engine tem-perature has returned to normal. Then,if coolant has been lost, carefully addwater to the reservoir (Page 6-8) tobring the fluid level in the reservoir upto the halfway mark.

7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert forfurther signs of overheating. If over-heating happens again, call a Hyundaidealer for assistance.

➀ Low Tire Pressure Telltale➁ TPMS Malfunction Indicator

Each tire, including the spare (if pro-vided), should be checked monthlywhen cold and inflated to the inflation

pressure recommended by the vehiclemanufacturer on the vehicle placard ortire inflation pressure label. (If yourvehicle has tires of a different sizethan the size indicated on the vehicleplacard or tire inflation pressure label,you should determine the proper tireinflation pressure for those tires.)

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

Low Tire Pressure Telltale

When the tire pressure monitoring sys-tem warning telltale is illuminated, oneor more of your tires is significantlyunder-inflated.Immediately reduce your speed, avoidhard cornering and anticipate increasedstopping distances. You should stop

and check your tires as soon as pos-sible. Inflate the tires to the properpressure as indicated on the vehicle’s

As an added safety feature, your ve-hicle has been equipped with a TirePressure Monitoring System (TPMS)that illuminates a low tire pressuretelltale when one or more of your tiresis significantly under-inflated. Accord-ingly, when the low tire pressure tell-tale illuminates, you should stop andcheck your tires as soon as possible,and inflate them to the proper pres-

sure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat

Your vehicle has also been equippedwith a TPMS malfunction indicator toindicate when the system is not oper-ating properly. The TPMS malfunctionindicator is provided by a separatetelltale, which displays the symbol"TPMS" when illuminated. When themalfunction indicator is illuminated, thesystem may not be able to detect orsignal low tire pressure as intended.

E010B01A-AAT

Common Causes of CorrosionThe most common causes of corrosionon your car are:

o Road salt, dirt and moisture that isallowed to accumulate underneath thecar.

o Removal of paint or protective coat-ings by stones, gravel, abrasion orminor scrapes and dents which leave

unprotected metal exposed to corro-sion.

E010A01A-AAT

Protecting Your Hyundai from Cor-rosion

By using the most advanced design andconstruction practices to combat corro-sion, Hyundai produces cars of the high-est quality. However, this is only part ofthe job. To achieve the long term corro-sion resistance your Hyundai can deliver,the owner's cooperation and assistanceis also required.

E010C01A AAT

E010D01A-AAT

Moisture Breeds CorrosionMoisture creates the conditions in whichcorrosion is most likely to occur. For ex-ample, corrosion is accelerated by highhumidity, particularly when temperaturesare just above freezing. In such condi-tions, the corrosive material is kept incontact with the car surfaces by moisturethat is slow to evaporate.Mud is a particular enemy of corrosion

protection because it is slow to dry andholds moisture in contact with the ve-hicle. Even though the mud appears tobe dry, it can still retain moisture andpromote corrosion

o If you live in a high-corrosion area —where road salts are used, near theocean areas with industrial pollution

E020C01A-AAT

Keep Your Garage Dry

Don't park your car in a damp, poorlyventilated garage. This creates a favor-able environment for corrosion. This isparticularly true if you wash your car inthe garage or drive it into the garage

E020D02A-AAT

Keep Paint and Trim in Good Condi-tion

Scratches or chips in the finish should becovered with "touch-up" paint as soon aspossible to reduce the possibility of cor-rosion. If bare metal is showing through,the attention of a qualified body and paintshop is recommended.

Bird droppings : Bird droppings are highly

corrosive and may damage painted sur-faces in just a few hours. Always removebird droppings as soon as possible.

o When cleaning lower door panels,

rocker panels and frame members, besure that drain holes are kept open sothat moisture can escape and not betrapped inside to ac-celerate corro-sion.

ocean, areas with industrial pollution,acid rain, etc.— you should take extracare to prevent corrosion. In winter,hose off the underside of your car atleast once a month and be sure toclean the underside thoroughly when

winter is over.o When cleaning underneath the car,give particular attention to the compo-nents under the fenders and otherareas that are hidden from view.Do a thorough job; just dampening theaccumulated mud rather than washingit away will accelerate corrosion ratherthan prevent it. Water under high pres-sure and steam are particularly effec-tive in removing accumulated mud and

corrosive materials.

when it is still wet or covered with snow,ice or mud. Even a heated garage cancontribute to corrosion unless it is wellventilated so moisture is dispersed.

E020E01A-AAT

Don't Neglect the Interior

Moisture can collect under the floor matsand carpeting to cause corrosion. Checkunder the mats periodically to be sure thecarpeting is dry. Use particular care if youcarry fertilizers, cleaning materials orchemicals in the car.These should be carried only in propercontainers and any spills or leaks shouldbe cleaned up, flushed with clear waterand thoroughly dried.

POWER STEERING HOSES

It is suggested that you check the powersteering hose connections for fluid leak-age at those intervals specified in thevehicle maintenance schedule in Section

POWER STEERING FLUIDLEVEL

G230A01MC-AAT

(If Installed)

The power steering fluid level should bechecked regularly. To check the powersteering fluid level, be sure the engine is"OFF", then check to make certain that thepower steering fluid level is between the"MAX" and "MIN" level markings on thefluid reservoir

NOTE:o Grinding noise from the power steer-

ing pump may be heard immediatelyafter the engine is started in ex-tremely cold conditions (below -4°F).If the noise stops during warm up,there is no abnormal function in thesystem. It is due to a power steeringfluid characteristic in extremely coldconditions.

o Do not start the engine when thepower steering oil reservoir is empty.

!

G260A01MC-AAT

Before attempting to replace a light bulb,

be sure the switch is turned to the "OFF"position.The next paragraph shows how to reachthe light bulbs so they may be changed.Be sure to replace the burned-out bulbwith one of the same number and watt-age rating.See page 6-29 for the wattage descrip-tions.

CAUTION:o Keep the lamps out of contact with

petroleum products, such as oil,gasoline, etc.

o If you don't have necessary tools,the correct bulbs and the expertise,consult your authorized Hyundaidealer.

G270A02MC-GAT

Headlight, Front Turn Signal Light

and Front Fog Light CAUTION:o The headlight aiming should be

checked by an authorized Hyundaidealer after replacing the headlightbulbs.

o After heavy, driving rain or washing,headlight and taillight lenses couldappear frosty. This condition iscaused by the temperature differ-ence between the lamp inside and

outside. This is similar to the con-densation on your windows insideyour vehicle during the rain anddoesn’t indicate a problem with yourvehicle. If the water leaks into thelamp bulb circuitry, have the vehiclechecked by an authorized Hyundaidealer.

2 EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

Canister

Fuel vapors generated inside the fueltank are absorbed and stored in theonboard canister. When the engine isrunning, the fuel vapors absorbed in thecanister are drawn into the induction sys-tem through the purge control solenoidvalve.

Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)

The purge control solenoid valve is con-

trolled by the Engine Control Module(ECM); when the engine coolant tem-perature is low during idling, the PCSVcloses so that evaporated fuel is not takeninto the engine. After the engine warms-up during ordinary driving, the PCSVopens to introduce evaporated fuel to theengine.

H010B01A-AAT

1. Crankcase Emission Control

SystemThe positive crankcase ventilation sys-tem is employed to prevent air pollutioncaused by blow-by gases being emittedfrom the crankcase. This system suppliesfiltered fresh air to the crankcase throughthe air intake hose. Inside the crankcase,the fresh air mixes with blow-by gases,then passes through the PCV valve intothe induction system.

H010A01A-AAT

Your Hyundai is equipped with an emis-

sion control system to meet all require-ments of the U.S. Environmental Protec-tion Agency or California Air ResourcesBoard.There are three emission control systemswhich are as follows.

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

In order to ensure the proper function ofthe emission control systems, it is recom-mended that you have your car inspectedand maintained by an authorized Hyundaidealer in accordance with the mainte-nance schedule in this manual.

CHECKING TIRE INFLATION PRES-SURE

Check your tires once a month ormore. Also, check the tire pressure ofthe spare tire.

How to Check 

Use a good quality gauge to check tirepressure. You can not tell if your tires

are properly inflated simply by lookingat them. Radial tires may look properlyinflated even when they're underinflated.Check the tire's inflation pressure whenthe tires are cold. - "Cold" means yourvehicle has been sitting for at leastthree hours or driven no more than 1mile (1.6 km).Remove the valve cap from the tire

If the cold tire inflation pres-sure matches the recommended pres-sure on the tire and loading informationlabel, no further adjustment is neces-sary. If the pressure is low, add airuntil you reach the recommendedamount.

Temperature A, B, C - The tempera-ture grades are A (the highest), B, and

C, representing the tire's resistance tothe generation of heat and its ability todissipate heat when tested under con-trolled conditions on a specified indoorlaboratory test wheel. Sustained hightemperature can cause the material ofthe tire to degenerate and reduce tirelife, and excessive temperature canlead to sudden tire failure. The grade C

corresponds to a level of performancewhich all passenger car tires mustmeet under the Federal Motor VehicleSafety Standard No. 109. Grades Band A represent higher levels of perfor-mance on the laboratory test wheelthan the minimum required by law.
