When a cellular phone is used inside

the vehicle, noise may be produced

from the audio system. 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

Carbon monoxide (CO) gas is toxic. Breathing CO can cause unconsciousness and

death.

Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide which cannot be seen or smelled.

Do not inhale engine exhaust.

If at any time you smell engine exhaust inside the vehicle, open the windows

immediately. Exposure to CO can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation.

Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.

The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the

oil or for any other purpose. If you hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you

drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the vehicle, have the exhaust

system checked as soon as possible by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

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. Run the engine only long enough to start the engine and to move the vehicle

out of the garage.

Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the vehicle.

If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the

vehicle, be sure to do so only in an open area with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan

control set to high so fresh air is drawn into the interior.

Keep the air intakes clear.

To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, keep the ventilation air intakes

located in front of the windshield clear of snow, ice, leaves, or other obstructions.

If you must drive with the trunk open:

Close all windows.

Open instrument panel air vents.

Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face", and the fan

control set to high.

WARNING

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

Engine exhaust and a wide variety of automobile components including

components found in the interior furnishings in a vehicle, contain or emit harmful

chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects and

reproductive harm. In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain

products of components contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California

to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

is easily accomplished.

precautions are not followed.

• When parking on an incline, block

the wheels to prevent the vehicle

from rolling down.

To shift to R (Reverse), make sure the

vehicle has completely stopped, and

then move the shift lever to neutral

before moving into R (Reverse).

When you've come to a complete stop

and it's hard to shift into 1st gear or R

(Reverse):

1. Put the shift lever in neutral and

release the clutch pedal.

2. Depress the clutch pedal, and then
