CAUTION: MODIFICATIONS TO YOUR HYUNDAI
Your Hyundai should not be modified in any way. Such modifications may adversely affect the
performance, safety or durability of your Hyundai and may, in addition, violate conditions of the limited
warranties covering the vehicle. Certain modifications may also be in violation of regulations
established by the U.S. Department of Transportation and other federal or state agencies.
A080A01S-AAT
TWO-WAY RADIO OR CELLULAR TELEPHONE INSTALLATION
Your vehicle is equipped with electronic fuel injection and other electronic components. It is possible
for an improperly installed/adjusted two-way radio or cellular telephone to adversely affect electronic
systems. For this reason, we recommend that you carefully follow the radio manufacturer's instruc-
tions or consult your Hyundai dealer for precautionary measures or special instructions if you choose
to install one of these devices.

VEHICLE DATA COLLECTION AND EVENT DATA RECORDERS
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting
a 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 short
period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such
data 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 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 law
enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or
the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law
enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to
the vehicle or the EDR.

FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
CAUTION:
YourHyundai's NewVehicle LimitedWar-
ranty may not cover damage to the fuel
system and any performance problems
that are caused by the use of fuels con-
taining methanol or fuels containing
MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) over
15.0%vol. (OxygenContent 2.7%weight.)
B010B01A-AAT
What About Gasohol?
Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gaso-
line and 10% ethanol or grain alcohol)
may be used in your Hyundai. However, if
your engine develops driveability prob-
lems, the use of 100% unleaded gasoline
is recommended. Fuels with unspecified
quantities of alcohol, or alcohols other
than ethanol, should not be used.
B010A02NF-AAT
Use Unleaded Gasoline
Unleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane
Rating of 87 (Research Octane Number
91) or higher must be used in your
Hyundai.
B010C01A-AAT
Use of MTBE
Hyundai recommends that fuels contain-
ing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether)
over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7%
weight) should not be used in your
Hyundai.
Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0% vol.
(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) may re-
duce vehicle performance and produce
vapor lock or hard starting.
B010D01A-AAT
Do Not Use Methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood alco-
hol) should not be used in your Hyundai.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicle perfor-
mance and damage components of the
fuel system.
!
UNLEADED
FUEL ONLY
WARNING:
o Do not "top off" after the nozzle auto-
matically shuts off when refueling.
o Tighten the cap until it clicks, other-
wise the " " light will illuminate.
o Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel spill-
age in the event of an accident.

BREAKING IN YOUR NEW
HYUNDAI
B010F01A-AAT
Operation in Foreign Countries
If you are going to drive your Hyundai in
another country, be sure to:
o Observe all regulations regarding reg-
istration and insurance.
o Determine that acceptable fuel is avail-
able.
B010E01A-AAT
Gasolines for Cleaner Air
To help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai
recommends that you use gasolines
treated with detergent additives, which
help prevent deposit formation in the en-
gine. These gasolines will help the engine
run cleaner and enhance performance of
the Emission Control System.
B020A01TG-AAT
During the First 1,200 Miles (2,000
Km)
No formal "break-in" procedure is required
with your new Hyundai. However, you can
contribute to the economical operation
and durability of your Hyundai by observ-
ing the following recommendations dur-
ing the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km).
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 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.

Leaving your sub key with a parking
attendant will ensure that your vehicle's
trunk, trunk lid release, glove box com-
partment and rear trunk access may not
be unlocked in your absence.
CAUTION:
o If you make your own duplicate key,
you will not be able to cancel the sys-
tem or start the engine.
o When starting the engine, do not use
the key with other immobilizer keys in
close proximity; otherwise, the en-
gine may not start or may stop soon
after it starts.
Keep each key separated from one
another.
o Do not install the metal accessories
near the key or ignition switch.
The engine may not start for the metal
accessories may interrupt the tran-
sponder signal from normally trans-
mitting.
B880B03TG-AAT
Two Types of Keys
For greater convenience, your Hyundai
has two types of keys as shown in the
illustration.
1) Master key
This key is for general use. It will open all
locks on your vehicle. One side of the key
has the Hyundai logo and the other side
has the "M" symbol.
2) Sub key
Similar to the master key, this key will
only function in the ignition and the door
locks, but it will not operate the trunk and
the glove box.
One side of the key has the Hyundai
logo and the other side has an "S"
symbol.

!WARNING:
In order to prevent theft of your vehicle,
do not leave spare keys anywhere in
your vehicle. Your immobilizer password
is a customer unique password and
should be kept confidential. Do not leave

Before leaving sub key with parking
attendant
When leaving the sub key with a parking
attendant, the following procedures will
ensure that your vehicle's trunk and glove
box can not be unlocked in your absence.
1. Unlock the glove box with the master
key and open it.
2. Set the trunk lid control button in the
glove box to the "OFF" position (not
depressed). In the "OFF" position, the
trunk can not be unlocked with either
the trunk release lever or trunk open
button of transmitter.

3. Close the glove box, and lock the glove
box using the master key.
4. Switch the rear seatback knobs to the
"LOCK" position (refer to page 1-26).
5. Leave the sub key with the attendant.
Trunk and glove box are secured be-
cause the sub key only allows ignition
and door lock operation.
B880C01NF-GAT
Key Numbers
The vehicle key number is recorded on a
number tag attached to the keys when the
vehicle is first delivered to you.
B880C01TG
The key number should be recorded and
kept in a safe place in case the need to
order further keys arises. New keys are
available from any Hyundai dealer by
quoting the relevant key number.
In the interest of security, the number tag
attached to the keys which bears the key
number should be removed from the key
string after you receive your new vehicle.
In addition, key numbers cannot be pro-
vided by Hyundai for security reasons.
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 and master key.

NOTE:
You can get a limp home password when
the vehicle is first delivered to you. If you
do not have a password, consult your
authorized Hyundai dealer.
1. To activate the password, turn the igni-
tion key "ON" and "OFF" according to
the digit numbers. The immobilizer indi-
cator will blink along with the operation
of the ignition key. For example, turn the
ignition key once for digit number "1",
and twice for "2", and so on. For the digit
number "0", you must cycle the ignition
key 10 times.
2. Wait for 3~10 seconds.
3. You may set the remaining number of
digits by following steps 1 and 2.
4. If all of the four password digits have
been successfully entered, turn the ig-
nition key "ON" and check that the im-
mobilizer indicator illuminates. From
this time, you have to start your engine
within 30 seconds. If you try to start your
engine after 30 seconds, your engine
will not start.
If the immobilizer warning indicator blinks
for five seconds when the ignition key is
turned to the "ON" position, this indicates
the immobilizer system requires service.
The engine cannot be started without us-
ing the procedure below.
The following procedure describes how to
start the engine using the limp home func-
tion (0, 1, 2, 3 as a sample password).
CAUTION:
o If the password is entered incorrectly
threeconsecutive times,wait forabout
one hour to perform the limp home
activation procedure again.
o If you cannot start your engine using
the limp home activation procedure,
have your vehicle towed by an autho-
rized Hyundai dealer.

Procedures
HNF2011
NOTE:
If the engine stalls while driving in the
"limp home" mode, you can start your
engine within 3 seconds without re-en-
tering the password.
If the immobilizer indicator blinks for five
seconds, you must re-enter the password
(steps 1~4).
After performing the limp home activation
procedure, consult with your authorized
Hyundai dealer as soon as possible.

DOOR LOCKS
!
B040A01A-AAT
WARNING:
o 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 occu-
pants from being ejected from the car
in case of an accident.
o Before opening the door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic.
B040B01O-AAT
Locking, unlocking front doors with
a key
o The door can be locked or unlocked
with a key.
o Lock the door by turning the key toward
the front of the vehicle and unlock it by
turning the key toward the rear.
NOTE:
The driver's door can be unlocked by
turning the key once toward the rear. If
