Combination retractor type seat belts are in-stalled in the rear seat outboard positions tohelp accommodate the installation of child re-straint systems. Although a combination re-tractor is also installed in the front passengerseat position, Hyundai strongly recommendsthat children always be seated in the rear seatrear seatrear seatrear seatrear seat.NEVER place any infant restraint system in thefront seat of the vehicle.This type of seat belt combines the features ofboth an emergency locking retractor seat beltand an automatic locking retractor seat belt. To

fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the retractorand insert the metal tab into the buckle. Therewill 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 thedriver's seat belt (Emergency Locking Retrac-tor Type). It automatically adjusts to the properlength only after the lap belt portion of the seatbelt is adjusted manually so that it fits snuglyaround your hips. When the seat belt is fullyextended from the retractor to allow the instal-lation of a child restraint system, the seat beltoperation changes to allow the belt to retract,but not to extend.

The airbag modules are located both in thecenter of the steering wheel and in the frontpassenger's panel above the glove box. Whenthe SRSCM detects a considerable impact tothe front of the vehicle, it will automaticallydeploy the airbags.

Passenger's Airbag

Upon deployment, tear seams molded directlyinto the pad covers will separate under pres-sure from the expansion of the airbags. Furtheropening of the covers then allows full inflationof the airbags.

A fully inflated airbag in combination with aproperly worn seat belt slows the driver's or thepassenger's forward motion, thus reducing therisk of head or chest injury.

B240B04E

The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) onthe instrument panel will blink for about 6 sec-onds after the ignition key is turned to the "ON"position or after the engine is started, afterwhich the SRI should go out.

After complete inflation, the airbag immestarts deflating, enabling the driver to mforward visibility.

PASSENGER PRESENCE DETECTIONThe passenger presence detection system de-tects the presence of a passenger in the rightfront seat. If no passenger is recognized on thefront passenger seat, the deployment of thefront passenger and/or side airbag and seatbelt pretensioner will be prevented.

This system is designed to prevent the replace-ment of airbag components that deploy need-lessly in an accident.

NOTE:Luggage or other cargo heavier than 33 lbsshould not be placed on the passenger frontseat. This can allow the deployment of thefront passenger and/or side air bag in thecase of an accident.

WARNING:

The Passenger Presence Detection systemis not intended to prevent airbag deploy-ment while a child is in the front passenger'sseat. It is intended only as a means toreduce unnecessary collision damage re-pair expense by preventing airbag and seatbelt pretensioner deployment when the rightfront passenger seat is unoccupied. De-ployment is still possible if only a few poundsare placed upon the seat. Therefore, childrenmust not be transported in the front seat. Allchildren must be seated in the rear seat and

properly restrained with the vehicle's re-straint system or a child restraint systemappropriate for the child's size and weight.

erly fastened. The driver's hands shouldbe placed on the steering wheel at the9:00 and 3:00 o'clock positions. Thepassenger's arms and hands should beplaced in 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 airbagor between the airbag and yourself.

o Do not place any objects (an umbrella,bag, etc.) between the front door and thefront seat. Such objects may becomedangerous projectiles and cause injury ifthe supplemental side impact air baginflates.

o To prevent unexpected deployment ofthe side impact air bag that may result in

personal injury, avoid impact to the sideairbag sensor when the ignition key ison.

This means you still have

braking on two wheels even if one of the dualsystems should fail. With only one of the dualsystems working, more than normal pedal traveland greater pedal pressure are required to stopthe car. Also, the car will not stop in as short adistance with only half of the brake systemworking.

AM broadcasts can be received at greaterdistances than FM broadcasts. This is be-cause AM radio waves are transmitted at lowfrequencies. These long, low frequency radiowaves can follow the curvature of the earthrather than travelling straight out into the atmo-sphere. In addition, they curve around obstruc-tions so that they can provide better signal

coverage.

FM broadcasts are transmitted at higquencies and do not bend to follow the esurface. Because of this, FM broadcasterally begin to fade at short distances frostation. Also, FM signals are easily affecbuildings, mountains, or other obstruThese can result in certain listening conwhich might lead you to believe a pr

FM reception

SSAR010A

AM and FM radio signals are broadcasted fromtransmitter towers located around your city.They are intercepted by the radio antenna onyour car. This signal is then received by theradio and sent to your car speakers.

When a strong radio signal has reached yourvehicle, the precise engineering of your audiosystem ensures high quality reproduction. How-ever, in some cases the signal coming to yourvehicle may not be strong and clear. This canbe due to factors such as the distance from theradio station, closeness of other strong radiostations or the presence of buildings, bridgesor other large obstructions in the area.

When a cellular phone is used inside thicle, noise may be produced from theequipment. This does not mean that somis wrong with the audio equipment. In scase, use the cellular phone at a place aspossible from the audio equipment.

CAUTION:When using a communication systema cellular phone or a radio set insidvehicle, a separate external antennabe fitted. When a cellular phone or aset is used with an internal antenna almay interfere with the vehicle's elecsystem and adversely affect safe opeof the vehicle.

WARNING:Don't use a cellular phone when yodriving, you must stop at a safe place a cellular phone.

SSAR014A

o Station Swapping - As an FM signal weak-ens, another more powerfanul signal nearthe same frequency may begin to play. Thisis because your radio is designed to lockonto the clearest signal. If this occurs, selectanother 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 bya direct and a reflected signal from the samestation, or by signals from two stations withclose frequencies. If this occurs, select an-other station until the condition has passed.

SSAR013A

o Fading - As your car moves away from theradio station, the signal will weaken andsound will begin to fade. When this occurs,we suggest that you select another strongerstation.

o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or largeobstructions between the transmitter andyour radio can disturb the signal causing

static or fluttering noises to occur. Reducingthe treble level may lessen this effect untilthe disturbance clears.

o Keep your car clean. For maximum service,your Hyundai should be kept clean and free ofcorrosive materials. It is especially importantthat mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed to

accumulate on the underside of the car. Thisextra weight can result in increased fuel con-sumption and also contribute to corrosion.

o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary weightin your car. Weight reduces fuel economy.

o Don't let the engine idle longer than neces-sary. If you are waiting (and not in traffic), turnoff your engine and restart only when you'reready to go.

,precautions. Turn your front wheel into thecurb, set the parking brake firmly, and put the

transaxle in 1st or Reverse (manual) or Park(automatic). In addition, place wheel chocksat each of the trailer's tires.

9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start yourvehicle and trailer moving, and then apply thetrailer brake controller by hand to be sure thebrakes are working. This lets you check yourelectrical connection at the same time.

10.During your trip, occasionally check to besure that the load is secure, and that thelights and any trailer brakes are still working.

11.Avoid jerky starts, sudden acceleration or

sudden stops.12.Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.13.Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long

or too frequently. This could cause the brakesto overheat, resulting in reduced braking effi-ciency.

14.When going down a hill, shift into a lower gearand use the engine braking effect.When ascending a long grade, downshift thetransaxle to a lower gear and reduce speed toreduce chances of engine overloading and/oroverheating.

For example, corro-sion is accelerated by high humidity, particularlywhen temperatures are just above freezing. Insuch conditions, the corrosive material is kept incontact with the car surfaces by moisture that isslow to evaporate.Mud is particularly corrosive because it is slow todry and holds moisture in contact with the ve-hicle. Although the mud appears to be dry, it canstill retain the moisture and promote corrosion.High temperatures can also accelerate corro-sion of parts that are not properly ventilated sothe moisture can be dispersed.

Drive belts should be checked periodically forproper tension and adjusted if necessary. At thesame time, belts should be examined for cracks,wear, fraying or other evidence of deteriorationand replaced if necessary.Belt routing should also be checked to be surethere is no interference between the belts andother parts of the engine. After a belt is re-

placed, the new belt should be adjusted againafter two or three weeks to eliminate slackresulting from initial stretching after use.

A fusible link will melt if the electrical circuitsfrom the battery are ever overloaded, thus pre-venting damage to the entire wiring harness.(This could be caused by a short in the systemdrawing too much current.) If this ever happens,have a Hyundai dealer determine the cause,

The original tires on your car have tread wearindicators. The tread wear indicators appearwhen the tread depth is 0.06 in. (1.6 mm). Thetire should be replaced when these appear as asolid bar across two or more grooves of thetread. Always replace your tires with those ofthe recommended size. If you change wheels,the new wheel's rim width and offset must meet

Hyundai specification.

Treadwear -Treadwear -Treadwear -Treadwear -Treadwear - The tread wear grade is a com-parative rating based on the wear rate of the tirewhen tested under controlled conditions on aspecified government test course. For exam-ple, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half(1 - 1/2) times as well on the governmentcourse as a tire graded 100. The relative perfor-mance of tires depends upon the actual condi-tions of their use, however, and may departsignificantly from the norm due to variations indriving habits, service practices and differenc-es in road characteristics and climate.
