strument panel surface. If there is any leak- age from the air freshener onto these areas (instrument cluster, instrument panel or air ventilator), it may damage these parts. If the liquid from the air freshener does leak onto these areas, wash them with water immedi- ately. WARNING: o When the SRS is activated, there may be a loud noise and fine dust will be released throughout the vehicle. These conditions are normal and are not haz- ardous. However, the fine dust gener- ated during airbag deployment may cause skin irritation. Wash your hands and face thoroughly with lukewarm wa- ter and a mild soap after an accident in which the airbags were deployed. WARNING: o The SRS can function only when the ignition key is in the "ON" position. If the SRS SRI does not come on, or continuously remains on, after flash- ing for about 6 seconds when the igni- tion key is turned to the "ON" position, or after the engine is started, comes on while driving, the SRS is not working properly. If this occurs, have your vehi- cle immediately inspected by your Hyundai dealer. o Before you replace a fuse or discon- nect a battery terminal, turn the igni- tion key to the "LOCK" position or remove the ignition key. Never remove or replace the air bag related fuse(s) when the ignition key is in the "ON" position. Failure to heed this warning will cause the SRS SRI to illuminate. B990B04Y-GAT Side Impact Airbag (If Installed) Side airbag sensor B990B01A-1 B990B02Y Your Hyundai is equipped with a side impact airbag in each front seat. The purpose of the airbag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front passenger with additional protection than that offered by the seat belt alone. The side impact airbags are designed to deploy only during certain side impact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of impact. The side impact airbags are not de- signed to deploy in all side impact situations. WARNING: o The side impact airbag is supplemental to the driver's and the passenger's three point seat belt systems and is not a sub- stitute for them. Therefore your seat belts must be worn at all times while the ve- hicle is in motion. The airbags deploy only in certain side impact conditions severe enough to cause significant injury to the vehicle occupants. FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 33 WARNING: o For best protection from the side im- pact airbag system and to avoid being injured by the deploying side impact airbag, both front seat occupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt properly fastened. The driver's hands should be placed on the steering wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00 o'clock positions. The passenger's arms and hands should be placed on their laps. o Do not use any accessory seat covers. o Use of seat covers could reduce or pre- vent the effectiveness of the system. o Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side impact airbag. o Do not use excessive force on the side of the seat. o Do not place any objects over the airbag or between the airbag and yourself. o Do not place any objects (an umbrella, bag, etc.) between the front door and the front seat. Such objects may become dan- gerous projectiles and cause injury if the supplemental side impact airbag inflates. 1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 34 WARNING: o To prevent unexpected deployment of the side impact air bag that may result in personal injury, avoid impact to the side impact airbag sensor when the ignition key is on. B240C01A-AAT SRS Care o The SRS is virtually maintenance free and there are no parts you can safely service by yourself. The entire SRS system must be inspected by an authorized Hyundai dealer in 10 years after the date that the vehicle was manufactured. o Any work on the SRS system, such as removing, installing, repairing, or any work on the steering wheel must be performed by a qualified Hyundai technician. Improper han- dling of the airbag system may result in serious personal injury. HSM393 WARNING: o Do not install a child restraint system in the front passenger seat position. A child restraint system must never be placed in the front seat. The infant or baby could be severely injured by an airbag deployment in case of an accident. o Modification to SRS components or wir- ing, including the addition of any kind of badges to the pad covers or modifica- tions to the body structure, can adversely affect SRS performance and lead to pos- sible injury. o For cleaning the airbag pad covers, use only a soft, dry cloth or one which has been moistened with plain water. Sol- vents or cleaners could adversely affect the airbag covers and proper deployment of the system. o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules on the steering wheel, instrument panel, and the front passen- ger's panel above the glove box, because any such object could cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause the airbags to inflate. o If the airbags inflate, they must be re- placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer. FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 35 WARNING: o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS wiring, or other components of the SRS system. Doing so could result in injury, due to accidental firing of the airbags or by rendering the SRS inoperative. o If components of the airbag system must be discarded, or if the vehicle must be scrapped, certain safety precautions must be observed. Your Hyundai dealer knows these precautions and can give you the necessary information. Failure to follow these precautions and procedures could increase the risk of personal injury. o If you sell your vehicle, be sure to inform the new owner of these important points and make certain that this manual is trans- ferred to the new owner. o If your car was flooded and has soaked carpeting or water on the floor, you shouldn't try to start the engine; have the car towed to an authorized Hyundai deal- er. 1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 36 INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND INDICATOR LIGHTS B260A03A-AAT 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 B260A02A-A FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 37 1.

This light also comes on when the SRS is not working properly. If the SRI does not come on, or continuously remains on after flashing for about 6 seconds when you turned the ignition key to the "ON" position or started the engine, or if it comes on while driving, have the SRS inspected by an authorized Hyundai Dealer. When the key is turned to the "ON" position, the Anti-Lock Brake System SRI will come on and then go off in a few seconds. If the ABS SRI remains on, comes on while driving, or does not come on when the key is turned to the "ON" position, this indicates that there may be a problem with the ABS. If this occurs, have your vehicle checked by your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. The normal braking system will still be operational, but without the assistance of the anti-lock brake system. WARNING: If both ABS SRI and Parking Brake/Brake fluid level warning lights remain "ON" or come on while driving, there may be a problem with E.B.D. (Electronic Brake Force Distribution). If this occurs, avoid sudden stops and have your vehicle checked by your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. When the overdrive switch is turned on, the overdrive off indicator will go out. This amber indicator will be illuminated when the overdrive switch is turned off (Auto T/A only). B260D01A-AAT TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR LIGHTS The blinking green arrow on the instrument panel shows the direction indicated by the turn signals. If the arrow comes on but does not blink, blinks more rapidly than normal, or does not blink at all, a malfunction in the turn signal system is indicated. Your dealer should be con- sulted for repairs. B260F01A-AAT HIGH BEAM INDICATOR LIGHT The high beam indicator light comes on when- ever the headlights are switched to the high beam or flash position. FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 39 The brake fluid level warning light indicates that the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder is low and 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 a Hyundai dealer for inspection. If further trouble is experienced, the vehicle should not be driven at all but taken to a dealer by a professional towing service. Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-diagonal braking systems. This means you still have braking on two wheels even if one of the dual systems should fail. With only one of the dual systems working, more than normal pedal travel and greater pedal pressure are required to stop the car. Also, the car will not stop in as short a distance with only a portion of the brake system working. If the brakes fail while you are driving, shift to a lower gear for additional engine braking and stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so. B260G01A-AAT B260H03A-AAT LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT PARKING BRAKE/ LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING LIGHT CAUTION: If the oil pressure warning light stays on while the engine is running, serious engine damage may result. The oil pressure warning light comes on whenever there is insufficient oil pressure. In normal operation, it should come on when the ignition switch is turned on, then go out when the engine is started. If the oil pressure warning light stays on while the engine is running, there is a serious malfunc- tion. If this happens, stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so, turn off the engine and check the oil level. If the oil level is low, fill the engine oil to the proper level and start the engine again. If the light stays on with the engine running, turn the engine off immediately. In any in- stance where the oil light stays on when the engine is running, the engine should be checked by a Hyundai dealer before the car is driven again. CAUTION: If you suspect brake trouble, have your brakes checked by a Hyundai dealer as soon as pos- sible. Driving your car with a problem in either the brake electrical system or brake hydraulic system is dangerous, and could result in se- rious injury or death. Warning Light Operation The parking brake/brake fluid level warning light should come on when the parking brake is applied and the ignition switch is turned to "ON" or "START". After the engine is started, the light should go out when the parking brake is re- leased. If the parking brake is not applied, the warning light should come on when the ignition switch is turned to "ON" or "START", then go out when the engine starts. If the light comes on at any other time, you should slow the vehicle and bring it to a complete stop in a safe location off the roadway. 1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 40 B260J01A-AAT B260M01A-AAT B260E02O-AAT CHARGING SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT LOW FUEL LEVEL WARNING LIGHT SEAT BELT REMINDER LIGHT AND CHIME The seat belt reminder light blinks until your seat belt is fastened when the ignition key is turned from the "OFF" position to "ON" or "START", and the warning chime will sound for 6 sec- onds. B260K02A-AAT TRUNK LID(4 DOOR)/ TAIL GATE(3 DOOR) OPEN WARNING LIGHT This light remains on unless the trunk lid/tail gate is completely closed and latched. The charging system warning light should come on when the ignition is turned on, then go out when the engine is running. If the light stays on while the engine is running, there is a malfunc- tion in the electrical charging system.

Do this as shown on page 6-19 by pushing down on the center of the belt. And then have the system checked by your Hyundai dealer. B260L02HP-GAT DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT AND CHIME (If Installed) The door ajar warning light warns you that a door is not completely closed and the chime warns you that the key is in the ignition switch. NOTE : The warning chime only sounds whenever the key is in the ignition switch and the driver's side front door is open simultaneously. The chime sounds until the key is removed from the ignition switch or the driver's side front door is closed. The low fuel level warning light comes on when the fuel tank is approaching empty. When it comes on, you should add fuel as soon as possible. Driving with the fuel level warning light on or with the fuel level below "E" can cause the engine to misfire and damage the catalytic con- verter. B260N01A-AAT MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT This light illuminates when there is a malfunction of an exhaust gas related component, and the system is not functioning properly so that the exhaust gas regulation values are not satisfied. This light will also illuminate when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, and will go out in a few seconds. If it illuminates while driving, or does not illuminate when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, take your car to your nearest authorized Hyundai dealer and have the system checked. B270A01A-AAT BRAKE PAD WEAR WARNING SOUND The front disc brake pads have wear indicators that should make a high-pitched squealing or scraping noise when new pads are needed. The sound may come and go or be heard all the time when the vehicle is moving. It may also be heard when the brake pedal is pushed down firmly. Expensive rotor damage will result if the worn pads are not replaced. See your Hyundai dealer immediately. B900A01A-AAT LIGHTS ON WARNING SOUND The warning chime sounds when the tail lights are on and the driver side door is open.

STEREO SOUND SYSTEM B750A02A-AAT How Car Audio Works FM reception Ionosphere AM reception Ionosphere FM radio station Mountains FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 73 Unobstructed area Buildings B750A02L Obstructed area Iron bridges B750A03L AM broadcasts can be received at greater dis- tances than FM broadcasts. This is because AM radio waves are transmitted at low fre- quencies. These long, low frequency radio waves can follow the curvature of the earth rather than travelling straight out into the atmo- sphere. In addition, they curve around ob- structions so that they can provide better signal coverage. FM broadcasts are transmitted at high fre- quencies and do not bend to follow the earth's surface. Because of this, FM broadcasts gen- erally begin to fade at short distances from the station. Also, FM signals are easily affected by buildings, mountains, or other obstructions. These can result in certain listening conditions which might lead you to believe a problem exists with your radio. The following conditions are normal and do not indicate radio trouble: B750A01L AM and FM radio signals are broadcast from transmitter towers located around your city. They are intercepted by the radio antenna on your 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 audio system ensures the best possible quality re- production. However, in some cases the sig- nal coming to your vehicle may not be strong and clear. This can be due to factors such as the distance from the radio station, closeness of other strong radio stations or the presence of buildings, bridges or other large obstruc- tions in the area. 1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 74 B750B03Y-AAT Using a cellular phone or a two-way radio When a cellular phone is used inside the vehi- cle, noise may be produced from the audio equipment. This does not mean that something is wrong with the audio equipment. In such a case, use the cellular phone at a place as far as possible from the audio equipment. WARNING: Don't use a cellular phone when you are driving. Stop at a safe place to use a cellular phone. B750A04L B750A05L o Fading - As your car moves away from the radio station, the signal will weaken and sound will begin to fade. When this occurs, we suggest that you select another stronger station. o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large obstructions between the transmitter and your radio can disturb the signal causing static or fluttering noises to occur. Reducing the tre- ble level may lessen this effect until the disturbance clears. o Station Swapping - As an FM signal weak- ens, another more powerful signal near the same frequency may begin to play. This is because your radio is designed to lock onto the clearest signal. If this occurs, select another station with a stronger signal. o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals be- ing received from several directions can cause distortion or fluttering. This can be caused by a direct and reflected signal from the same station, or by signals from two stations with close frequencies. If this occurs, select another station until the con- dition has passed. AUDIO SYSTEM H210A01O-AAT STEREO RADIO OPERATION (H215) (If Installed) 2. FADER Control Knob 5. TUNE/SEEK Select Button 4.
