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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

4. The resulting figure equals the avail-able amount of cargo and luggageload capacity. For example, if the"XXX" amount equals 1400 lbs. andthere will be five 150 lb passengersin your vehicle, the amount of avail-able cargo and luggage load capac-ity is 650 lbs.
(1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
5. Determine the combined weight ofluggage and cargo being loaded onthe vehicle. That weight may notsafely exceed the available cargoand luggage load capacity calcu-
lated in Step 4.

The wheel nuts should be loosenedslightly before raising the car. Toloosen the nuts, turn the wrenchhandle counterclockwise. When doingthis, be sure that the socket is seatedcompletely over the nut so it cannot
slip off. For maximum leverage, posi-tion the wrench so the handle is to theright. Then, while holding the wrenchnear the end of the handle, pull up onit with steady pressure. Do not re-move the nuts at this time. Just loosenthem about one-half turn.
After inserting a wrench bar into thewheel nut wrench, install the wrenchbar into the jack as shown in thedrawing. To raise the vehicle, turn thewheel nut wrench clockwise. As the
jack begins to raise the vehicle, doublecheck that it is properly positioned andwill not slip. If the jack is on softground or sand, place a board, brick,flat stone or other object under thebase of the jack to keep it from sink-ing.
Raise the car high enough so that thefully inflated spare tire can be installed.

2 CORROSION PROTECTION
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

High-Corrosion Areas
If you live in an area where your car isregularly exposed to corrosive materials,corrosion protection is particularly impor-tant. Some of the common causes of
accelerated corrosion are road salts, dustcontrol chemicals, ocean air and indus-trial pollution.
promote corrosion.High temperatures can also acceleratecorrosion of parts that are not properlyventilated so the moisture can be dis-persed. For all these reasons, it is par-ticularly important to keep your car clean
and free of mud or accumulations of othermaterials. This applies not only on thevisible surfaces but particularly to theunderside of the car.

3TO HELP PREVENT COR-ROSION
E020A01A-AAT
You can help prevent corrosion fromgetting started by observing the follow-ing:
E020B01A-AAT
Keep Your Car Clean
The best way to prevent corrosion is tokeep your car clean and free of corrosivematerials. Attention to the underside of
the car is particularly important.
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.

AIR CONDITIONER CARE
G140A01A-AAT
Keeping the Condenser Clean
The air conditioner condenser (and en-gine radiator) should be checked periodi-cally for accumulation of dirt, dead in-sects, leaves, etc. These can interferewith maximum cooling efficiency. Whenremoving such accumulations, brush orhose them away carefully to avoid bend-ing the cooling fans.
Checking the amount of air condi-
tioner refrigerant and compressorlubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is low, theperformance of the air conditioning isreduced. Overfilling also has a negativeimpact on the air conditioning system.Therefore, if abnormal operation is found,have the system inspected by an autho-rized HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTE:It is important when servicing the airconditioning system that the correcttype and amount of oil and refrigerant isused. Otherwise, damage to the com-pressor and abnormal system opera-tion may occur.

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.
