However, you can contribute to the economical opera- tion and durability of your Hyundai by observing the following recommenda- tions during the first 1200 miles (2000 km). o Whether going fast or slow, vary your speed from time to time. o Don't let the engine idle longer than 3 minutes at one time. o Don't tow a trailer during the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) of operation. 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 start quickly or depress the accelerator pedal fully. o For the first 200 miles (300 km), try to avoid hard stops. o Don't lug the engine (in other words, don't drive so slowly in too high a gear that the engine "bucks"-shift to a lower gear). FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI KEYS B030A01A-AAT OMC025001 For greater convenience, the same key operates all the locks in your Hyundai. However, because the doors can be locked without a key, carrying a spare key is recommended in case you accidentally lock one key inside the car. 1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI B030B01NF-GAT Record Your Key Number B030B01MC A code number is recorded on the num- ber tag that came with the keys to your Hyundai. This key number tag should not be left with the keys but kept in a safe place, not in the vehicle. The key number should also be recorded in a place where it can be found in an emergency. If you need additional keys, or if you should lose your keys, your authorized Hyundai dealer can make new keys if you can supply the key number. DOOR LOCKS B040A01A-AAT WARNING: o Unlocked doors can be dangerous. Before you drive away (especially if there are children in the car), be sure that all the doors are securely closed and locked so that the doors cannot be opened from the inside. This helps ensure that the doors will not be opened accidentally. Also, when com- bined with the proper use of seat belts, locking the doors helps keep occupants from being ejected from the car in case of an accident. o Before opening the door, always look for and avoid oncoming traffic.

WARNING: The purpose of the fold-down rear seatbacks is to allow you to carry longer objects than could otherwise be accom- modated. Never allow passengers to sit on top of the folded down seatback or cargo area while the car is moving as this is not a proper seating position and no seat belts are available for use. This could result in serious injury or death in case of an accident or sudden stop. Objects car- ried on the folded down seatback should not extend higher than the top of the front seats. This could allow cargo to slide forward and cause injury or damage during sudden stops. OMC029045 To raise the headrest, pull it up to the desired position (1).

WARNING: When you return the rear seatback to its upright position after being folded down: Be careful not to damage the seat belt webbing or buckle. Do not allow the seat belt webbing or buckle to get caught or pinched in the rear seat. Ensure that the seatback is completely locked into its upright position by pushing on the top of the seatback. Otherwise, in an accident or sudden stop, the seat could fold down and allow cargo to enter the passenger compartment, which could result in se- rious injury or death. B140A01S-AAT REAR SEAT WARNING B140A01MC For the safety of all passengers, luggage or other cargo should not be piled higher than the top of the seatback. In addition, do not place objects on the rear shelf as they may move forward during braking or in an accident and strike vehicle passen- gers. SEAT BELTS B150A02S-AAT SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS WARNING: All occupants of the vehicle must wear their seat belts at all times. Seat belts and child restraints reduce the risk of serious or fatal injuries for all occupants in the event of a collision or sudden stop. Without a seat belt, occupants could be shifted too close to a deploying airbag, strike the interior structure or be thrown from the vehicle. Properly worn seat belts greatly reduce these hazards. Even with advanced airbags, unbelted occu- pants can be severely injured by a de- ploying airbag. Always follow the pre- cautions about seat belts, airbags and occupant safety contained in this manual. B150B03A-AAT Infant or Small Child All 50 states have child restraint laws. You should be aware of the specific re- quirements in your state. Child and/or infant safety seats must be properly placed and installed in the rear seat. Information about the use of these restraints begins on page 1-31. WARNING: Every person in your vehicle needs to be properly restrained at all times, includ- ing infants and children. Never hold a child in your arms or lap when riding in a vehicle. The violent forces created dur- ing a crash will tear the child from your arms and throw the child against the interior. Always use a child restraint appropriate for your child's height and weight, see page 1-31. NOTE: Small children are best protected from injury in an accident when properly re- strained in the rear seat by a child re- straint system that meets the require- ments of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Before buying any child restraint system, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets Fed- eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213. The restraint must be appropriate for your child's height and weight. Check the label on the child restraint for this information. See page 1-31. FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 23 23 B150C02A-AAT Larger Children Children who are too large for child re- straint systems should always occupy the rear seat and use the available lap/ shoulder belts. The lap portion should be fastened snug on the hips and as low as possible. Check belt fit periodically. A child's squirming could put the belt out of position. Children are afforded the most safety in the event of an accident when they are restrained by a proper restraint system in the rear seat. If a larger child (over age 13) must be seated in the front seat, the child should be securely re- strained by the available lap/shoulder belt and the seat should be placed in the rearmost position. Children under the age of 13 should be restrained securely in the rear seat. NEVER place a child under the age of 13 in the front seat. NEVER place a rear facing child seat in the front seat of a vehicle. 1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 24 C020302AKM Restraint of pregnant women Pregnant women should wear lap/shoul- der belt assemblies whenever possible according to specific recommendations by their doctors. The lap portion of the belt should be worn AS SNUGLY AND LOW AS POSSIBLE on the hips, not a cross the abdomen. ! WARNING - Pregnant women Pregnant women must never place the lap portion of the safety belt over the area of the abdomen where the fetus is located or above the abdomen where the belt could crush the fetus during an im- pact. B150E01A-AAT Injured Person A seat belt should be used when an injured person is being transported. When this is necessary, you should consult a physician for recommendations. B150F01A-AAT One Person Per Belt Two people (including children) should never attempt to use a single seat belt. This could increase the severity of inju- ries in case of an accident. B150G02A-AAT Do Not Lie Down To reduce the chance of injuries in the event of an accident and to achieve maxi- mum effectiveness of the restraint sys- tem, all passengers should be sitting up and the front seats should be in an up- right position when the car is moving. A seat belt cannot provide proper protec- tion if the person is lying down in the rear seat or if the front seat is in a reclined position. WARNING: Riding with a reclined seatback in- creases your chance of serious or fatal injuries in the event of a collision or sudden stop. The protection of your restraint system (seat belts and airbags) is greatly reduced by reclining your seat. Seat belts must be snug against your hips and chest to work properly. The more the seatback is reclined, the greater the chance that an occupant's hips will slide under the lap belt causing serious internal injuries or the occupant's neck could strike the shoulder belt. Drivers and passengers should always sit well back in their seats, properly belted (see page 1-26), and with the seatbacks up- right. B160A02A-AAT CARE OF SEAT BELTS Seat belt systems should never be disas- sembled or modified. In addition, care should be taken to assure that seat belts and belt hardware are not damaged by seat hinges, doors or other abuse. B160B01A-AAT Periodic Inspection It is recommended that all seat belts be inspected periodically for wear or dam- age of any kind. Parts of the system that are damaged should be replaced as soon as possible. FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 25 25 B170A02MC-AAT HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE FRONT SEAT SHOULDER BELT WARNING: When you return the rear seatback to its upright position after the rear seatback was folded down, be careful not to dam- age the seat belt webbing or buckle. Be sure that the webbing or buckle does not get caught or pinched in the rear seat. A seat belt with damaged webbing or buckle will not be as strong and could possibly fail during a collision or sudden stop, resulting in serious injury. B160C01A-AAT Keep Belts Clean and Dry Seat belts should be kept clean and dry. If belts become dirty, they can be cleaned by using a mild soap solution and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong detergents or abrasives should not be used because they may damage and weaken the fabric. B160D01A-AAT When to Replace Seat Belts Entire in-use seat belt assemblies should be replaced if the vehicle has been in- volved in an accident. This should be done even if no damage is visible. Addi- tional questions concerning seat belt operation should be directed to your Hyundai Dealer. B170A01MC You can adjust the height of the shoulder belt anchor to one of the 4 positions for maximum comfort and safety. If the height of the seat belt is too near your neck, you will not be getting the most effective protection. The shoulder portion should be adjusted so that it lies across your chest and midway over your shoul- der nearest the door and not your neck. To adjust the height of the seat belt an- chor, lower or raise the height adjuster into an appropriate position. To raise the height adjuster, pull it up. 1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 26 To lower it, push it down while pressing the height adjuster button. Release the button to lock the anchor into position. Try sliding the height adjuster to make sure that it has locked into the position. CAUTION: o Adjust the shoulder belt height when you sit well back in the seat. OMC025042-1 o When adjusting the shoulder belt height, grip the height adjuster but- ton securely and slide the height adjuster up or down. o If the shoulder belt anchor is not moved, grasp the shoulder part of the belt and pull forward to the full. ! WARNING: o Verify the shoulder belt anchor is locked into position at the appropri- ate height. Never position the shoul- der belt across your neck or face. Improperly positioned seat belts can cause serious injuries in an acci- dent. o Failure to replace seat belts after an accident could leave you with dam- aged seat belts that will not provide protection in the event of another collision leading to personal injury or death. Replace your seat belts after being in an accident as soon as pos- sible.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 27 27 B190A03A-AAT SEAT BELTS-Front Passenger and Rear 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 and center positions to help accommodate the installation of child restraint systems. Hyundai strongly recommends that chil- dren always be seated in the rear seat. NEVER place any infant restraint system in 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 locking retractor seat belt. To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the retractor and insert the metal tab into the buckle. There will be an audible "click" when the tab locks into the buckle. When not securing a child restraint, the seat belt operates in the same way as the driver's seat belt (Emer- gency Locking Retractor Type). It auto- matically adjusts to the proper length only after the lap belt portion of the seat belt is adjusted manually so that it fits snugly around your hips. 1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 28 When the seat belt is fully extended from the retractor to allow the installation of a child restraint system, the seat belt opera- tion changes to allow the belt to retract, but not to extend (Automatic Locking Retractor Type). See page 1-38. NOTE: Although the combination retractor pro- vides the same level of protection for seated passengers in either emergency or automatic locking modes, it is recom- mended that seated passengers use the emergency locking feature for improved convenience. The automatic locking function is intended to facilitate child restraint installation. To convert from the automatic locking feature to the emergency 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 be used whenever the car is moving. o Seat belts are most effective when seatbacks are in the upright posi- tion. ! WARNING: o Children age 12 and younger must always be properly restrained in the rear seat. Never allow children to ride in the front passenger seat. If a child over 13 must be seated in the front seat, he/she must be properly belted and the seat should be moved as far back as possible. o Never wear the shoulder belt under your arm or behind your back. An improperly positioned shoulder belt can 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. A twisted belt can't do its job as well. In a collision, it could even cut into you. Be sure the belt webbing is straight and not twisted. o Be careful not to damage the belt webbing or hardware. If the belt web- bing or hardware is damaged, re- place it. B200A01A-AAT Adjusting Your Seat Belt B200A01NF WARNING: You should place the lap belt portion as low as possible and snugly across your hips, not on your waist. If the lap belt is located too high on your waist, it may increase the chance of injury in the event of a collision. Both arms should not be under or over the belt. Rather, one should be over and the other under, as shown in the illustration. Never wear the seat belt under the arm nearest the door.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM 31 31 B230A05A-AAT Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always be properly restrained to minimize the risk of injury in an accident, sudden stop or sudden maneuver. 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 front seat. Larger children not in a child re- straint should use one of the seat belts provided. All 50 states have child restraint laws. You should be aware of the specific re- quirements in your state. Child and/or infant safety seats must be properly placed and installed in the rear seat. You must use a commercially available child re- straint system that meets the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan- dards (FMVSS). Child restraint systems are designed to be secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt, or by a LATCH system. Children could be injured or killed in a crash if their restraints are not properly secured. B220D05MC To disconnect the metal tab (A) from the buckle (B), insert a narrow-ended tool into the groove located on the buckle (B). WARNING: Always lock metal tab (A) into buckle (B) immediately after returning the rear seatbacks to an upright position. This portion of the rear center seat belt should only be unbuckled when the rear seatback is folded down. 1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 32 For small children and babies, a child seat or infant seat must be used. Before buying a particular child restraint system, make sure it fits your car seat and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all the instructions provided by the manufacturer when installing the child restraint system. 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 the passenger side airbag to deploy, it could severely injure or kill an infant or child seated in an infant or child seat. Thus, only use a child restraint in the rear seat of your vehicle. o Since a safety belt or child restraint system can become very hot if it is left in a closed vehicle, be sure to check the seat cover and buckles before placing a child there. WARNING: o When the child restraint system is not in use, store it in the trunk or fasten it with a safety belt so that it will not be thrown forward in case of a sudden stop or an accident. o Children may be seriously injured or killed by an inflating airbag. All chil- dren, even those too large for child restraints, must ride in the rear seat. To reduce the chance or serious or fatal injuries: o Children of all ages are safer when restrained in the rear seat. A child riding in the front passenger seat can be forcefully struck by an inflat- ing airbag resulting in serious or fa- tal injuries. o Always follow the instructions for installation and use of the child re- straint maker. o Always make sure the child seat is secured properly in the car and your child is securely restrained in the child seat. WARNING: o Never hold a child in your arms or lap when riding in a vehicle. The violent forces created during a crash will tear the child from your arms and throw the child against the car’s inte- rior. o Never put a seat belt over yourself and a child. During a crash, the belt could press deep into the child caus- ing serious internal injuries. o Never leave children unattended in a vehicle – not even for a short time. The car can heat up very quickly, resulting in serious injuries to chil- dren inside. Even very young chil- dren may inadvertently cause the vehicle to move, entangle them- selves in the windows, or lock them- selves or others inside the vehicle. o Never allow two children, or any two persons, to use the same seat belt. o Children often squirm and reposition themselves improperly. Never let a child ride with the shoulder belt un- der their arm or behind their back. Always properly position and secure children in rear seat. ! WARNING: o Never allow a child to stand-up or kneel on the seat or floorboard of a moving vehicle. During a collision or sudden stop, the child can be vio- lently thrown against the vehicle's interior, resulting in serious injury. o Never use an infant carrier or a child safety seat that "hooks" over a seatback, it may not provide ad- equate security in an accident. o Seat belts can become very hot, es- pecially when the car is parked in direct sunlight. Always check seat belt buckles before fastening them over a child. o Always store or secure a child seat, even when it is not in use. During a collision or sudden stop, the child seat could be thrown inside the ve- hicle. B230B01E-AAT Using a Child Restraint System with the "Tether Anchorage" System For small children and babies, the use of a child seat or infant seat is required. This child seat or infant seat should be of appropriate size for the child and should be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. It is further required that the seat be placed in the vehicle's rear seat since this can make an important contribution to safety. Your ve- hicle is provided with three child restraint hook holders for installing the child seat or infant seat.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 35 35 B230D08E-AAT Securing the Child Restraint Seat with the "Child Seat Lower Anchor" system B230D01MC Some child seat manufacturers make safety seats that are labeled as LATCH or LATCH-compatible child seats. LATCH stands for "Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children". These seats include two rigid or webbing mounted attachments that connect to two LATCH anchors at specific seating positions in your vehicle. This type of child seat eliminates the need to use seat belts to attach the child seat in the rear seats. LATCH anchors have been provided in your vehicle. The LATCH anchors are located in the left and right outboard rear seating positions. B230C02MC 2. Route the child restraint seat tether strap over the seatback. For vehicles with adjustable headrests, route the tether strap under the head- rest and between the headrest posts, otherwise route the tether strap over the top of the seatback. 3. Connect the tether strap hook (2) to the child restraint hook holder (1) through the hole on the covering shelf and tighten to secure the seat. ! WARNING: o When using the vehicle’s “LATCH” system to install a child restraint system in the rear seat, all unused vehicle rear seat belt metal latch plates or tabs must be latched se- curely in their seat belt buckles and the seat belt webbing must be re- tracted behind the child restraint to prevent the child from reaching and taking hold of unretracted seat belts. Unlatched metal latch plates or tabs may allow the child to reach the unretracted seat belts which may result in strangulation and a serious injury or death to the child in the child restraint. Lower Anchor Lower Anchor Position Indicator OMC029201N Child restraint symbols are located on the left and right rear seatbacks to indicate the position of the lower anchors for child restraints. 1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 36 Their locations are shown in the illustra- tion. There is no LATCH anchor provided for the center rear seating position. WARNING: o A child can be seriously injured or killed in a collision if the child re- straint is not properly anchored. Always follow the child seat manufacturer’s instructions for in- stallation and use. o Never install a child restraint using the LATCH lower anchors at the cen- ter position of the rear seat. In a crash, the LATCH lower anchors may break if a car seat is improperly placed in the center position result- ing in serious or fatal injuries. Only place a LATCH or LATCH-compat- ible child seat in the left or right out- board rear seating positions (as shown) to the appropriate LATCH anchors provided. o Never mount more than one child restraint to a single tether or to a single lower anchorage point. The increased load caused by multiple seats may cause the tethers or an- chorage points to break, causing serious injury or death. ! CAUTION: Do not allow the rear seat belt webbing to get scratched or pinched by the child seat latch and LATCH anchor during the installation. WARNING: A child can be seriously injured or killed in a collision if the child restraint is not properly anchored to the car and the child is not properly restrained in the child restraint. Always follow the child seat manufacturer’s instructions for in- stallation and use. FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 37 37 B230F01A-AAT Child Restraint System Installation on Rear Seat Center Position B230F02MC Use the center seat belt for the rear seat to secure the child restraint system as illustrated.

If the child seat moves, readjust the length of the seat belt. Then, if equipped, insert the child restraint tether strap hook into the child restraint hook holder and tighten to secure the seat. Always refer to the child restraint system manufacturer's rec- ommendation before installing the child restraint system in your vehicle. B230D03MC Follow the child seat manufacturer's in- structions to properly install child restraint seats with LATCH or LATCH-compatible attachments. Once you have installed the LATCH child restraint seat, assure that the seat is prop- erly attached to the LATCH and tether anchors. Also, test the safety seat before you place the child in it. Tilt the seat from side to side. Also try to tug the seat for- ward. Check to see if the anchors hold the seat in place. If the retractor is in the automatic locking mode, the belt will be locked. After instal- lation of the child restraint system, try to move it in all directions to be sure the child restraint system is securely installed. If you need to tighten the belt, pull more webbing toward the retractor. When you unbuckle the seat belt and allow it to retract, the retractor will automatically revert back to its normal seated passen- ger emergency locking usage condition. NOTE: o Before installing the child restraint system, read the instructions sup- plied by the child restraint system manufacturer. o If the seat belt does not operate as described, have the system checked immediately by your authorized Hyundai dealer. 1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 38 B230G02MC-AAT Child Restraint System Installation on Outboard Rear Seats OMC039304 To install a child restraint system in the outboard rear seats, extend the shoulder/ lap belt entirely from its retractor until a "click" is felt. This will engage the seat belt retractor automatic locking feature, which allows the seat belt to retract but not extend. Install the child restraint system, buckle the seat belt and allow the seat belt to take up any slack. Make sure that the lap portion of the belt is tight around the child restraint system and the shoul- der portion of the belt is positioned so that it cannot interfere with the child's head or neck. Also, double check to be sure that the retractor has engaged the automatic locking feature by trying to extend web- bing out of the retractor. ! WARNING: o If the retractor is not in the Auto- matic Locking mode, the child re- straint can move when your vehicle turns or stops suddenly. A child can be seriously injured or killed if the child restraint is not properly an- chored to the car, including setting the retractor to the Automatic Lock- ing mode. o Do not install any child restraint sys- tem in the front passenger seat. Should an accident occur and cause the passenger side airbag to deploy, it could severely injure or kill an infant or child seated in an infant or child seat. Therefore, only use a child restraint system in the rear seat of your vehicle. o Before installing a Child Restraint System to vehicles fitted with Curtain Airbags, always refer to safety no- tices for Curtain Airbag systems in this manual. Whenever installing child restraints, use only approved devices and refer to the "Child Restraint Sys- tem" section to ensure correct instal- lation and that occupant protection is maximized.
