User manual HYUNDAI GETZ BROCHURE

[. . . ] Each of the multi-colored warning lights and indicators illuminates only when required in order to maintain a simple, clutter-free instrument panel. Simply Red This is where the driver will appreciate the outstanding comfort, convenience and safety of GETZ. Extra features have been added, such as illumination for the glove box, a driver seat arm rest and audio controls mounted on the new-look steering wheel. Additional safety features include active head rests (optional), a disabling facility for the passenger-side air bag. Visually more obvious enhancements involve the two-tone materials used for the console, doors and seats. [. . . ] GETZ provides a cosy transport haven, whether there is rain or snow outside, wilting sunshine or shivering frost. Hyundai engineered the car to make sure the occupants are comfortable whatever the climate conditions. The reason is simple: only then will they be able to arrive at their destination feeling fresh, relaxed and safe. The manual, CFC-free air-conditioning system is equipped with an exterior air filter. In addition, there is a four-speed fan and heating and ventilation ducts to the windscreen and rear compartment. What's round the corner? The GETZ is a great drive. As you would expect from Hyundai, the road-holding and handling are superlative. The real unknown is what modern living can throw up when on the highway. That's why it's so reassuring to know the car contains multiple air bags and electronic wizardry, high technology and sturdy construction, just in case you meet the unexpected. SAFETY I GETZ You can depend on GETZ Passenger safety is paramount at Hyundai. Thousands of engineers in our technical laboratories devote their working lives to creating and perfecting vehicle systems that will keep occupants safe. These engineers design future models on computers that can instantly calculate how a car's structure would perform in the event of a crash. When they are satisfied, they use controlled conditions to crash real development models into solid objects in order to confirm their calculations. These tests are recorded by a series of high-speed cameras whose film can later be studied in slow motion to see whether passenger protection systems like seat belts and air bags worked according to plan. While this is taking place, chassis engineers simultaneously hone the car's ride qualities, road-holding, handling and braking on closed test tracks. Some of their unsung handiwork is featured here. Instant protection. Advanced automotive technology can help to prevent head and neck injuries caused by whiplash. In the blink of an eye, the active headrest (optional) moves upward and forward to cushion the driver's head in a major impact. At the same time, seat belt pre-tensioners clamp the occupant to the seat - even before the air bags go off. A modern car's body/chassis unit is an engineering marvel. Creating it, though, is a daunting task - one that would be impossible without computer-aided design techniques. The structure has to be as light as possible for good fuel economy, but as strong as possible for durability and safety. The structural integrity of GETZ is achieved by combining stamped and welded sheet steels of varying thicknesses with high strength steel beams and bars for extra side impact protection. Always on line. GETZ's standard front disc and rear drum Driver Only Normal brake force distribution to front and rear Bags of protection. At Hyundai, we sincerely hope you never have first-hand experience the effectiveness of a car's air bags. They could save your life, but they represent the last line of occupant protection after all other safety devices have been deployed. [. . . ] When the rear seats have no occupants, it can be slide downwards into the seat back in order to provide the driver with improved rearwards vision. Rear lights The combination rear lamp clusters have a fresh look to reflect other detail changes at the rear. Power windows Electrically powered window lifters for all four side windows are available on most models. Rear wiper A wiper and washer for the rear window are essential equipment for hatchback models like GETZ. Ticket holder There's a useful slot to keep tickets and other small notes behind the driver's sun visor. Sunglasses holder No more frantic searching for the sunglasses. There's a special case in which to store them. Grab handle Passengers have roof-mounted hand grips that fold out of the way when not in use. Spoiler stop light A model with a rear roof spoiler has a high-mounted stop lamp embedded in it. * For gasoline engine model only High-mounted stop light On versions that do not have roof spoilers, the HMSL is located neatly in the top of the hatchback. * For diesel engine model only Windscreen washers The windscreen can be quickly cleaned thanks to a pair of effective washer nozzles which provide diver a clear vision. Glove box The drop-down glove box in the facia is large enough to stow a number of bulky items like files and handbooks. Storage tray Just below the steering column, there's an open, full-width tray to store everyday bits and pieces. Cup holders The lidded pot for cigarette ash has two locations on the console - or none if the owner prefers two cup holders. MORE GETZ Bag hook There's a hook to support a carrier bag on the back of the front seat. Side seat pocket Maps or magazines can be stowed in the pocket at the side of the front passenger seat. Seat back pockets The back of each front seat has a deep, wide pocket for even more maps and magazines. Sun roof An electrically powered sun roof is an option. [. . . ]
