Yes, checking the manual is the best bet. Usually there's some marks on the gears that should line up with marks on the block, and you're supposed to rotate the crank, cams and whatever else the timing belt drives until these marks all line up, and then it's safe to put the belt on and tension it. The exact procedure for your engine will be in the manual.
Sometimes you can find auto shop manuals at your public library.

When the timing belt broke you probably bent some valves and may ha one of the valves damage a piston or two. say cyclinder #1 had the intake valve open when the belt broke, the valve would stay open because the cam stopped moving. The piston continued to rise because the crankshaft continued to turn. that is assumed your engine is like most modern engines that are inteference engine. Some engines are ok when the timing belt breaks, but most need cyclinder head repair included with a new timing belt.

Go to the Hyundai dealer and ask at the parts counter for them to photocopy the service manual section dealing with this issue. Or, get a Haynes manual, if there is one, or a Robert Bentley manual. It should be real clear!
