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. The
EDR 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 and
injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situationoccurs; 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.

Thiswill engage the seat belt retractor automaticlocking feature, which allows the seat beltto retract but not extend. Install the childrestraint system, buckle the seat belt andallow the seat belt to take up any slack.Make sure that the lap portion of the belt istight around the child restraint system andthe shoulder portion of the belt is positionedso that it cannot interfere with the child'shead or neck. Also, double check to besure that the retractor has engaged theAutomatic Locking feature by trying toextend webbing out of the retractor. If theretractor is in the Automatic Locking mode,
the belt will be locked. After installation ofthe child restraint system, try to move it in alldirections to be sure the child restraintsystem is securely installed. If you need totighten the belt, pull more webbing towardthe retractor. When you unbuckle the seatbelt and allow it to retract, the retractor willautomatically revert back to its normal
seated passenger Emergency Lockingusage condition.
! WARNING:o If the retractor is not in the Automatic
Locking mode, the child restraint canmove when your vehicle turns or stopssuddenly. A child can be seriouslyinjured or killed if the child restraint isnot properly anchored to the car,including setting the retractor to theAutomatic Locking mode.
o Do not install any child restraintsystem in the front passenger seat.Should an accident occur and causethe passenger side airbag to deploy,
it could severely injure or kill an infantor child seated in an infant or childseat. Therefore, only use a childrestraint system in the rear seat ofyour vehicle.
NOTE:o Before installing the child restraint
system in any seating position, readthe instructions supplied by the childrestraint system manufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate asdescribed, have the system checkedimmediately by your authorizedHyundai dealer.

WARNING:To obtain maximum benefit from a pre-tensioner seat belt:
o The seatbelt must be worn correctly andadjusted to the proper position (seepages 1-24 and 1-27). Please read andfollow all of the important informationand precautions about your vehicle’soccupant safety features – includingseat belts and advanced airbags – thatare provided in this manual.
! CAUTION:Do not put anything near the buckle.Placing objects near the buckle can ad-versely affect the buckle pre-tensionerand may increase the risk of personalinjury in the event of a collision.
If the system senses excessive seat belttension on the driver or passenger's seatbelt when the pre-tensioner activates, theload limiter inside the pre-tensioner willrelease some of the pressure on theaffected seat belt.
The seat belt pre-tensioner system consists
mainly of the following components. Theirlocations are shown in the illustration:
B180B03NF-AAT
Pre-tensioner Seat Belt
Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped withdriver's and front passenger's pre-tensioner
seat belts. The purpose of the pre-tensioneris to make sure that the seat belts fit tightlyagainst the occupant's body in certainfrontal collisions. The pre-tensioner seatbelts can be activated alone or, where thefrontal collision is severe enough, togetherwith the airbags.
When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if theoccupant tries to lean forward too quickly,the seat belt retractor will lock into position.In certain frontal collisions, the pre-tensioner will activate and pull the seat beltinto tighter contact against the occupant'sbody. The buckle pre-tensioner (which isinstalled in the buckle) will also pull theseat belt into the buckle.

The SRSCM continually monitors allelements while the ignition is "ON" todetermine if a frontal or near-frontal impactis severe enough to require airbagdeployment or pre-tensioner seat beltdeployment.
The SRS airbag warning light on the in-strument panel will illuminate for about 6seconds after the ignition key is turned tothe "ON" position or after the engine isstarted, after which the airbag warninglight should go out.
! WARNING:o Sitting improperly or out of position
can result in serious or fatal injury ina crash. All occupants should situpright with the seat back in an uprightposition, centered on the seat cushionwith their seat belt on, legs comfortablyextended and their feet on the flooruntil the vehicle is parked and theignition key is removed.
o The SRS airbag system must deployvery rapidly to provide protection in acrash. If an occupant is out of positionbecause of not wearing a seat belt, theairbag may forcefully contact the oc-
cupant causing serious or fatalinjuries.

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.
A fully inflated airbag, in combination witha properly worn seat belt, slows the driver'sforward motion, reducing the risk of headand chest injury.
After complete inflation, the airbagimmediately starts deflating, enabling thedriver to maintain forward visibility and theability to steer or operate other controls.
B240B03L
The airbag modules are located both in thecenter of the steering wheel and in the front
passenger's panel above the glove box.When the SRSCM detects a sufficientlysevere impact to the front of the vehicle, itwill automatically deploy the front airbags.
CAUTION:o Do not install or place any accesso-
ries (drink holder, cassette holder,sticker, etc.) on the front passenger'spanel above the glove box in a vehiclewith a passenger's airbag. Such ob-jects may become dangerous pro-jectiles and cause injury if thepassenger's airbag inflates.
o When installing a container of liquid
air freshener inside the vehicle, donot place it near the instrument clusternor on the instrument panel surface.If there is any leakage from the airfreshener onto these areas(instrument cluster, instrument panelor air ventilator), it may damage these

AM broadcasts can be received at greaterdistances than FM broadcasts. This isbecause AM radio waves are transmittedat low frequencies. These long, lowfrequency radio waves can follow thecurvature of the earth rather than travellingstraight out into the atmosphere. In addition,they curve around obstructions so thatthey can provide better signal coverage.
AM and FM radio signals are broadcastfrom transmitter towers located aroundyour city. They are intercepted by the radioantenna on your car. This signal is thenreceived by the radio and sent to your carspeakers.When a strong radio signal has reachedyour vehicle, the precise engineering ofyour audio system ensures the bestpossible quality reproduction. However,in some cases the signal coming to yourvehicle may not be strong and clear. Thiscan be due to factors such as the distancefrom the radio station, closeness of otherstrong radio stations or the presence ofbuildings, bridges or other largeobstructions in the area.
FM broadcasts are transmitted at high fre-quencies and do not bend to follow theearth's surface. Because of this, FM broad-casts generally begin to fade at shortdistances from the station. Also, FM signalsare easily affected by buildings, mountains,or other obstructions. These can result incertain listening conditions which mightlead you to believe a problem exists withyour radio.

!o Fading - As your car moves away fromthe radio station, the signal will weakenand sound will begin to fade. When thisoccurs, we suggest that you selectanother stronger station.
o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or largeobstructions between the transmitterand your radio can disturb the signalcausing static or fluttering noises tooccur. Reducing the treble level maylessen this effect until the disturbanceclears.
o Station Swapping - As an FM signalweakens, another more powerful sig-nal near the same frequency may beginto play. This is because your radio isdesigned to lock onto the clearest signal.If this occurs, select another station witha stronger signal.
o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signalsbeing received from several directionscan cause distortion or fluttering. Thiscan be caused by a direct and reflectedsignal from the same station, or bysignals from two stations with closefrequencies. If this occurs, select anotherstation until the condition has passed.

increased 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 In the event your vehicle leaves theroadway, do not steer sharply. Instead,slow down before pulling back into thetravel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed limits.
o Slow down before shifting to a lowergear. This will help avoid over-revvingthe engine, which can cause damage.
o Slow down when you encounter crosswinds. This gives you much better controlof your car.
o Be sure the car is completely stoppedbefore you attempt to shift into reverse.
The transaxle can be damaged if you donot. To shift into reverse, depress theclutch, move the shift lever to neutral,wait three seconds, then shift to thereverse position.

To find out theactual loads on your front and rearaxles, you need to go to a weigh stationand weigh your vehicle. Your dealer canhelp you with this. Be sure to spread outyour load equally on the left and rightsides of the centerline.

H010B01A-AAT
1. Crankcase Emission Control Sys-tem
The positive crankcase ventilation systemis employed to prevent air pollution causedby blow-by gases being emitted from thecrankcase. This system supplies freshfiltered air to the crankcase through the airintake hose. Inside the crankcase, the freshair mixes with blow-by gases, which thenpass through the PCV valve into theinduction system.
CanisterFuel vapors generated inside the fuel tankare absorbed and stored in the onboardcanister. When the engine is running, thefuel vapors absorbed in the canister aredrawn into the surge tank through thepurge control solenoid valve.
Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)The purge control solenoid valve iscontrolled by the Engine Control Module(ECM); when the engine coolanttemperature is low during idling, the PCSVcloses so that evaporated fuel is not takeninto the engine. After the engine warms-upduring ordinary driving, the PCSV opensto introduce evaporated fuel to the engine.

! WARNING:! WARNING:o Your vehicle is designed to operate
with a catalytic converter and remov-ing it will cause the engine to operatepoorly and fuel economy to drop alongwith an increase in the vehicle emis-sions.
o Remember that your Hyundai dealeris your best source of assistance.
o Do not park, idle or drive your vehicleover or near flammable objects such
as grass, paper, leaves or rags. Thesematerials might contact the hot cata-lytic converter and a fire might result.
o Use unleaded fuel only.o Maintain the engine in good operating
condition. Extremely high catalyticconverter temperatures can resultfrom improper operation of theelectrical, ignition or multiportelectronic fuel injection.
o If your engine stalls, pings, knocks, oris hard to start, have your Hyundaidealer inspect and repair the problemas soon as possible.
o Avoid driving with a very low fuel level.Running out of gasoline may causethe engine to misfire and result indamage to the catalytic converter.
o Avoid idling the engine for periodslonger than 10 minutes.
o The vehicle should not be pushed or
pulled to get started This may causeh l i h

Remove the valve cap from the tirevalve stem. Press the tire gauge firmlyonto the valve to get a pressure mea-surement. 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 air untilyou reach the recommended amount.If you overfill the tire, release air bypushing on the metal stem in the centerof the tire valve. Recheck the tire pres-sure with the tire gauge. Be sure to putthe valve caps back on the valve stems.They help prevent leaks by keeping outdirt and moisture.
I035A01JM-AAT
CHECKING TIRE INFLATION PRES-SURE
Check your tires once a month or more.Also, check the tire pressure of the
spare tire.
How to Check
Use a good quality gauge to check tirepressure. You cannot tell if your tiresare properly inflated simply by looking
at 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).
