VEHICLE DATA COLLECTION AND EVENT DATA RECORDERS

Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with many high technology, electronically controlled systems that help to ensureyour vehicle operates properly and provides the performance that you expect. These systems utilize computersto monitor the operation of various systems and components and help to control their operation. Thesecomputerized system operations are wide-ranging and involve components to reduce emissions, to continuouslyevaluate the readiness of the airbag and seat belt pretensioner systems, to determine when the airbag and seat

belt pre-tensioner systems should be deployed and then to activate the deployment, and if equipped, to operateanti-lock braking, traction control and electrical stability control to assist the driver to control the vehicle in difficultdriving situations. These systems electronically store information that is useful to service technicians when theyneed to diagnose and repair these systems. Additional information is stored only when a crash occurs that resultsin the deployment of the airbags or seat belt pre-tensioners. This type of data storage is done by devices calledevent data recorders(EDR).

After a crash event, the airbag and seat belt pre-tensioner computer system, known as the SupplementalRestraint System Control Module (SRSCM) or Airbag Control Unit (ACU), may record some information aboutthe condition of the vehicle and how it was being operated. This information consists of data related to seat beltusage and if there was diagnostic information in the airbag or seat belt systems at the time that a crash occurred,and if the ACU sensed that a crash of sufficient severity occurred to require seat belt pre-tensioner or airbagdeployment.

To retrieve this information, special equipment is needed and access to the vehicle or the device that stores the

data is required. Hyundai will not access information about a crash event or share it with others except:

o in response to an official request of police or similar government office, oro with the consent of the vehicle owner or, if the vehicle is leased, with the consent of the lessee, oro as part of Hyundai’s defense of litigation through the discovery process, oro as required by law.

Using a Child Restraint System withthe "Tether Anchorage" System

For small children and babies, the use of achild seat or infant seat is required. This childseat or infant seat should be of appropriate

size for the child and should be installed inaccordance with the manufacturer's instruc-tions. It is further required that the seat beplaced in the vehicle's rear seat since this canmake an important contribution to safety. Yourvehicle is provided with three child restrainthook holders for installing the child seat or

infant seat.

!WARNING:o Always make sure that the shoulder

belt portion of the outboard lap/shoul-der belt is positioned midway over theshoulder, never across the neck or be-hind the back. Moving the child closerto the center of the vehicle may helpprovide a good shoulder belt fit. Thelap belt portion of the lap/shoulder beltor the center seat lap belt must alwaysbe positioned as low as possible on thechild's hips and as snug as possible.

o If the seat belt will not properly fit thechild, Hyundai recommends the use ofan approved booster seat in the rearseat in order to raise the child's seatingheight so that the seat belt will properlyfit the child. Before purchasing abooster seat, make sure that it meetsapplicable Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandards (FMVSS) and that it is satis-

factory for use with this vehicle.o Never allow a child to stand up or kneelon the seat.

o Never use an infant carrier or child safetyseat that "hooks" over a seatback; it maynot provide adequate security in an acci-dent.

WARNING:o Never allow a child to be held in a

person's arms while they are in a mov-ing vehicle, as this could result in seri-ous injury to the child in the event of anaccident or a sudden stop. Holding achild in a moving vehicle does not pro-vide the child with any means of protec-tion during an accident, even if the per-son holding the child is wearing a seatbelt.

Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt

Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with driver'sand front passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts.The purpose of the pre-tensioner is to makesure that the seat belts fit tightly against theoccupant's body in certain frontal collisions. Thepre-tensioner seat belts can be activated alone

or, where the frontal collision is severe enough,together with the airbags.

When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if theoccupant tries to lean forward too quickly, theseat belt retractor will lock into position. Incertain frontal collisions, the pre-tensioner willactivate and pull the seat belt into tighter

mode, the belt will be locked. After installationof the child restraint system, try to move it inall directions to be sure the child restraintsystem is securely installed. If you need totighten the belt, pull more webbing toward theretractor. When you unbuckle the seat beltand allow it to retract, the retractor will auto-matically revert back to its normal seatedpassenger emergency locking usage condition.

NOTE:o Before installing the child restraint sys-

tem, read the instructions supplied by thechild restraint system manufacturer.

o If the seat belt does not operate as de-scribed, have the system checked imme-

diately by your authorized Hyundai dealer.

WARNING:o If the retractor is not in the Automatic

Locking mode, the child restraint systemcan move when your vehicle turns orstops abruptly.

o Do not install any child restraint systemin the front passenger seat. Should anaccident occur and cause the passengerside airbag to deploy, it could severelyinjure or kill an infant or child seated in aninfant or child seat. Therefore, only use a

child restraint system in the rear seat ofyour vehicle.

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 radiowaves can follow the curvature of the earthrather than travelling straight out into the atmo-sphere. In addition, they curve around ob-structions so that they can provide bettersignal coverage.

AM and FM radio signals are broadcast 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 the best possible quality re-production. However, in some cases the sig-nal coming to your vehicle may not be strongand clear. This can be due to factors such asthe distance from the radio station, closenessof other strong radio stations or the presenceof buildings, bridges or other large obstruc-tions in the area.

o Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the engine in your garage anylonger than it takes to start the engine and back the car out.

o Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car.

If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an open area with the air intakeset at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior.If you must drive with the trunk lid/ tail gate open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary:1. Close all windows.2. Open side vents.3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds.To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the windshield are kept clear

of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.

during driving, as this can result in pre-mature wear of the transaxle shift forks.

CAUTION:When downshifting from fifth gear tofourth gear, caution should be taken notto inadvertently press the gear shift leversideways in such a manner that secondgear is engaged. Such a drastic downshiftmay cause the engine speed to increase tothe point that the tachometer will enter thered zone. Such over revving of the enginemay possibly cause engine damage.

o Always wear your seat belts.In a collision crash, un unbelted personis significantly more likely to die than a

person wearing a seatbelt.o The risk of rollover is greatly increased

if you lose control of your vehicle athighway speeds.

o Loss of control often occurs if two ormore wheels drop off the roadway andthe driver oversteers to reenter the road-

way.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.

The highly efficient Hyundai automatictransaxle has four forward speeds and one

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 replaced,the new belt should be adjusted again after twoor three weeks to eliminate slack resulting frominitial stretching after use.
