IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

You will find many safety precautions

and recommendations throughout this

section, and throughout this manual.

The safety precautions in this section

are among the most important.

Driver distraction

Driver distraction presents a serious

and potentially deadly danger, espe-

cially for inexperienced drivers. Safety

should be the first concern when behind

the wheel and drivers need to be aware

of the wide array of potential distrac-

tions, such as drowsiness, reaching for

objects, eating, personal grooming,

other passengers, and using mobile

phones.

Drivers can become distracted when

they take their eyes and attention off

the road or their hands off the wheel to

focus on activities other than driving. To

reduce your risk of distraction and an

accident:

• ALWAYS set up your mobile devices

(for example, MP3 players, phones,

navigation units, etc.) when your

vehicle is parked or safely stopped.

• ONLY use your mobile device when

allowed by laws and conditions per-

mit safe use.

Always wear your seat belt

A seat belt is your best protection in all

types of accidents. Airbags are

designed to supplement seat belts, not

replace them. So even though your

vehicle is equipped with airbags,

ALWAYS make sure you and your pas-

sengers wear your seat belts, and wear

them properly.

Restrain all children

All children under age 13 should ride in

your vehicle properly restrained in a

rear seat, not the front seat. Infants and

small children should be restrained in

an appropriate child restraint. Larger

children should use a booster seat with

the lap/shoulder belt until they can use

the seat belt properly without a booster

seat.

NEVER text or email whilst driving.

Most countries have laws prohibiting

drivers from texting. Some countries

and cities also prohibit drivers from

using handheld phones.

Airbag hazards

• NEVER let the use of a mobile device

distract you from driving. You have a

responsibility to your passengers and

others on the road to always drive

safely, with your hands on the wheel

as well as your eyes and attention on

the road.

Whilst airbags can save lives, they can

also cause serious or fatal injuries to

occupants who sit too close to them, or

who are not properly restrained. Infants,

young children, and short adults are at

the greatest risk of being injured by an

inflating airbag. Follow all instructions

and warnings in this manual.

3-2

03

Control your speed

Excessive speed is a major factor in

crash injuries and deaths. Generally,

the higher the speed, the greater the

risk, but serious injuries can also occur

at lower speeds. Never drive faster

than is safe for current conditions,

regardless of the maximum speed post-

ed.

Keep your vehicle in safe con-

dition

Having a tyre blowout or a mechanical

failure can be extremely hazardous. To

reduce the possibility of such problems,

check your tyre pressures and condi-

tion frequently, and perform all regular-

ly scheduled maintenance.

Airbags

Safety precautions

You can take steps to reduce the risk of

being injured by an inflating airbag. Sit-

ting too close to an airbag greatly

increases the risk of injury in the event

the airbag inflates. Move your seat as

far back as possible from front airbags,

whilst still maintaining control of the

vehicle.

Adjusting the seats so that you are sit-

ting in a safe, comfortable position

plays an important role in driver and

passenger safety together with the seat

belts and airbags in an accident.

WARNING

Do not use a cushion that reduces

friction between the seat and the

passenger. The passenger’s hips

may slide under the lap portion of

the seat belt during an accident or a

sudden stop. Serious or fatal inter-

nal injuries could result because the

seat belt cannot operate properly.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury

or death from an inflating airbag,

take the following precautions:

• Adjust the driver’s seat as far to

the rear as possible whilst main-

taining the ability to maintain full

control of the vehicle.

• Adjust the front passenger seat as

far to the rear as possible.

• Hold the steering wheel by the rim

with your hands at the 9 o’clock

and 3 o’clock positions to mini-

mise the risk of injuries to your

hands and arms.

• NEVER place anything or anyone

between the airbag.

• Do not allow the front passenger

to place feet or legs on the dash-

board to minimise the risk of leg

injuries.

Safety system

Seat belts

Front seats

Always fasten your seat belt before

The front seat can be adjusted by using

the control lever or switches located on

the outside of the seat cushion. Before

driving, adjust the seat to the proper

position so that you can easily control

the steering wheel, foot pedals and

controls on the instrument panel.

starting any trip.

At all times, passengers should sit

upright and be properly restrained.

Infants and small children must be

restrained in appropriate child restraint

systems. Children who have outgrown

a booster seat and adults must be

restrained using the seat belts.

WARNING

Take the following precautions when

adjusting your seat:

WARNING

Take the following precautions when

adjusting your seat belt:

• NEVER attempt to adjust the seat

whilst the vehicle is moving. The

seat could respond with unexpect-

ed movement and may cause loss

of vehicle control resulting in an

accident.

• NEVER use one seat belt for more

than one occupant.

• Always position the seatback

upright with the lap portion of the

seat belt snug and low across the

hips.

• Do not place anything under the

front seats. Loose objects in the

driver’s foot area could interfere

with the operation of the foot ped-

als, causing an accident.

• NEVER allow children or small

infants to ride in a passenger’s lap.

• Do not route the seat belt across

your neck, across sharp edges, or

reroute the shoulder strap away

from your body.

• Do not allow anything to interfere

with the normal position and prop-

er locking of the seatback.

• Do not place a cigarette lighter on

the floor or seat. When you oper-

ate the seat, gas may exit out of

the lighter causing a fire.

• Do not allow the seat belt to

become caught or jammed.

• Use extreme caution when picking

small objects trapped under the

seats or between the seat and the

centre console. Your hands might

be cut or injured by the sharp edg-

es of the seat mechanism.

• If there are occupants in the rear

seats, be careful whilst adjusting

the front seat position.

Forward and rearward

adjustment

• Make sure that the seat is locked in

place after the adjustment. If not,

the seat might move unexpectedly

resulting in an accident.

CAUTION

To prevent injury:

• Do not adjust your seat whilst

wearing your seat belt. Moving the

seat cushion forward may cause

strong pressure on your abdomen.

OAC3039002R

To move the seat forward or rearward:

1. Pull up the seat slide adjustment

lever and hold it.

2. Slide the seat to the position you

desire.

• Do not allow your hands or fingers

to get caught in the seat mecha-

nisms whilst the seat is moving.

3. Release the lever and make sure the

seat is locked in place. Move forward

and rearward without using the lever.

If the seat moves, it is not locked

properly.

3-7

Safety system

Reclining seatback

Seatback angle

Sitting in a reclined position when the

vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.

Even when buckled up, the protections

of your restraint system (seat belts and/

or airbags) is greatly reduced by reclin-

ing your seatback.

WARNING

NEVER ride with a reclined seatback

when the vehicle is moving.

OAC3039003R

Riding with a reclined seatback

increases your chance of serious or

fatal injuries in the event of a colli-

sion or sudden stop.

To recline the seatback:

1. Lean forward slightly and lift up the

seatback lever.

2. Carefully lean back on the seat and

adjust the seatback to the position

you desire.

3. Release the lever and make sure the

seatback is locked in place. (The

lever MUST return to its original

position for the seatback to lock.)

Drivers and passengers should

ALWAYS sit well back in their seats,

properly belted, and with the seat-

backs upright.

Seat belts must be snug against your

hips and chest to work properly. When

the seatback is reclined, the shoulder

belt cannot do its job because it will not

be snug against your chest. Instead, it

will be in front of you.

During an accident, you could be

thrown into the seat belt, causing neck

or other injuries.

The more the seatback is reclined, the

greater chance the passenger’s hips

will slide under the lap belt or the pas-

senger’s neck will strike the shoulder

belt.

they could come loose from the

pocket and injure occupants.

3-9

Safety system

1. Set the front seatback to the upright

position and if necessary, slide the

front seat forward.

2. Lower the rear head restraints to the

lowest position (if equipped with

adjustable head restraints).

Rear seats (if equipped)

The rear seatbacks can be folded to

facilitate carrying long items or to

increase the luggage capacity of the

vehicle.

WARNING

• Never allow passengers to sit on

top of the folded down seatback

whilst the vehicle is moving. This

is not a proper seating position

and no seat belts are available for

use. This could result in serious

injury or death in case of an acci-

dent or sudden stop.

• Objects carried on the folded down

seatback should not extend higher

than the top of the front seatbacks.

This could allow cargo to slide for-

ward and cause injury or damage

during sudden stops.

OAI3039010

3. Insert the rear lap/shoulder belt plate

into the holder on the side trim. It will

prevent the lap/shoulder belt from

interfering with the seatback when

folding.

3-10

03

WARNING

When you return the rear seatback

to its upright position after being

folded down:

Be careful not to damage the seat

belt webbing or buckle. Do not allow

the seat belt webbing or buckle to

get caught or pinched in the rear

seat. Ensure that the seatback is

completely locked into its upright

position by pushing on the top of the

seatback. Otherwise, in an accident

or sudden stop, the seat could fold

down and allow cargo to enter the

passenger compartment, which

could result in serious injury or

death.

OAC3039006TU

NOTICE

• When returning the rear seatbacks

to the upright position, remember

to return the rear shoulder belts to

their proper position.

OAC3039007TU

4. Pull up the seatback lever and fold

the seatback toward the front of the

vehicle.

To use the rear seat, lift and push up

the seatback backward. Push the seat-

back firmly until it clicks into place.

Make sure the seatback is locked in

place.

• Routing the seat belt webbing

through the rear seat belt guides

will help keep the seat belts from

being trapped behind or under the

seats.

When returning the rear seatbacks to

the upright position, remember to return

the rear shoulder belts to their proper

position.

3-11

Safety system

Head restraint

WARNING

The vehicle’s front and rear seats have

adjustable head restraints. The head

restraints provide comfort for passen-

gers, but more importantly they are

designed to help protect passengers

from whiplash and other neck and spi-

nal injuries during an accident, espe-

cially in a rear impact collision.

Cargo

Cargo should always be secured to

prevent it from being thrown about

the vehicle in a collision and causing

injury to the vehicle occupants. Do

not place objects in the rear seats,

since they cannot be properly

secured and may hit the front seat

occupants in a collision.

WARNING

To help reduce the risk of serious

injury or death in an accident, take

the following precautions when

adjusting your head restraints:

WARNING

Cargo loading

Make sure the engine is off, the

Automated manual transmission is

in N (Neutral) or the Manual trans-

mission is in R (Reverse) or 1st, and

the parking brake is securely applied

whenever loading or unloading car-

go. Failure to take these steps may

allow the vehicle to move if the shift

lever is inadvertently moved to

another position.

• Always properly adjust the head

restraints for all passengers

BEFORE starting the vehicle.

WARNING

NEVER place anything on the seat

that insulates against heat when the

seat warmer is in operation, such as

a blanket or seat cushion. This may

cause the seat warmer to overheat,

causing a burn or damage to the

seat.

WARNING

The seat warmers can cause a SERI-

OUS BURN, even at low tempera-

tures and especially if used for long

periods of time.

NOTICE

Passengers must be able to feel if

the seat is becoming too warm so

they can turn it off, if needed.

ers and seats:

People who cannot detect tempera-

ture change or pain to the skin

should use extreme caution, espe-

cially the following types of passen-

gers:

• Never use a solvent such as paint

thinner, benzene, alcohol or petrol

to clean the seats.

• Do not place heavy or sharp

objects on seats equipped with

seat warmers.

• Infants, children, elderly or dis-

abled persons, or hospital outpa-

tients.

SEAT BELTS

This section describes how to use the

seat belts properly. It also describes

some of the things not to do when using

seat belts.

• Do not use the seat belt if it is

twisted. A twisted seat belt will not

protect you properly in an acci-

dent.

• Do not use a seat belt if the web-

bing or hardware is damaged.

Seat belt safety precautions

• Do not latch the seat belt into the

buckles of other seats.

Always fasten your seat belt and make

sure all passengers have fastened their

seat belts before starting any trip. Air-

bags (if equipped) are designed to sup-

plement the seat belt as an additional

safety device, but they are not a substi-

tute. Most countries require all occu-

pants of a vehicle to wear seat belts.

• NEVER unfasten the seat belt

whilst driving. This may cause

loss of vehicle control resulting in

an accident.

• Make sure there is nothing in the

buckle interfering with the seat

belt latch mechanism, because

any materials in the buckle can

cause the seat belt not to be fas-

tened securely.

WARNING

Seat belts must be used by ALL pas-

sengers whenever the vehicle is

moving. Take the following precau-

tions when adjusting and wearing

seat belts:

• No modifications or additions

should be made by the user which

will either prevent the seat belt

adjusting devices from operating

to remove slack, or prevent the

seat belt assembly from being

adjusted to remove slack.

• ALWAYS properly restrain chil-

dren under age 13 in the rear seats.

• NEVER allow children to ride in the

front passenger seat. If a child age

13 or older must be seated in the

front seat, move the seat as far

back as possible. And the child

must always be restrained in the

seat properly.

WARNING

Damaged seat belts and seat belt

assemblies will not operate proper-

ly. Always replace:

• Frayed, contaminated, or damaged

webbing.

• Damaged hardware.

• NEVER allow an infant or child to

be carried on an occupant’s lap.

• NEVER ride with the seatback

reclined when the vehicle is mov-

ing.

• The entire seat belt assembly after

it has been worn in an accident,

even if damage to webbing or

assembly is not apparent.

• Do not allow children to share a

seat or seat belt.

• Do not wear the shoulder belt

under your arm or behind your

back.

• Never wear a seat belt over fragile

objects. If there is a sudden stop

or impact, the seat belt can dam-

age it.

WARNING

OJS038069AU

You should place the lap belt (1) portion

across your hips and the shoulder belt

(2) portion across your chest.

The seat belt automatically adjusts to

the proper length after the lap belt por-

tion is adjusted manually so that it fits

snugly around your hips. If you lean for-

ward in a slow, easy motion, the belt

will extend and move with you.

If there is a sudden stop or impact, the

belt will lock into position. It will also

lock if you try to lean forward too quick-

ly.

OTM038098R

Improperly positioned seat belts

may increase the risk of serious inju-

ry in an accident. Take the following

precautions when adjusting the seat

belt:

• Position the lap portion of the seat

belt as low as possible across

your hips, not on your waist, so

that it fits snugly. This allows your

strong pelvic bones to absorb the

force of the crash, reducing the

chance of internal injuries.

• Position one arm under the shoul-

der belt and the other over the belt,

as shown in the illustration.

NOTICE

If you are not able to smoothly pull

enough of the seat belt out from the

retractor, firmly pull the seat belt out

and release it. After release, you will

be able to pull the belt out smoothly.

• Always position the shoulder belt

anchor into locked position at the

appropriate height.

• Never position the shoulder belt

across your neck or face.

into tighter contact against the occu-

pant’s body.

WARNING

• Always wear your seat belt and sit

properly in your seat.

- Retractor Pretensioner

• Do not use the seat belt if it is

loose or twisted. A loose or twist-

ed seat belt will not protect you

properly in an accident.

The purpose of the retractor preten-

sioner is to make sure that the shoul-

der belts fit in tightly against the occu-

pant’s upper body in certain frontal or

side collision(s).

• Do not place anything near the

buckle. This may adversely affect

the buckle and cause it to function

improperly.

- EFD (Emergency Fastening Device)

The purpose of the EFD is to make

sure that the pelvis belts fit in tightly

against the occupant’s lower body in

certain frontal or side collisions. (if

equipped, Driver only)

If the system senses excessive tension

on the driver or passenger’s seat belt

when the pre-tensioner system acti-

vates, the load limiter inside the retrac-

tor pre-tensioner will release some of

the pressure on the affected seat belt.

• Always replace your pre-tension-

ers after activation or an accident.

• NEVER inspect, service, repair or

replace the pre-tensioners by

yourself. We recommend that you

have the pre-tensioners inspected,

serviced, repaired or replaced by a

HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

• Do not hit the seat belt assemblies.

WARNING

CAUTION

Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat

belt assemblies for several minutes

after they have been activated. When

the pre-tensioner seat belt mecha-

nism deploys during a collision, the

pre-tensioner can become hot and

can burn you.

The pre-tensioner will activate not

only in a frontal collision but also in

a side collision or rollover, if the

vehicle is equipped with a side or

curtain airbag.

CAUTION

Body work on the front area of the

vehicle may damage the pre-ten-

sioner seat belt system. Therefore,

we recommend that the system be

serviced by a HYUNDAI authorised

Additional seat belt safety

precautions

Seat belt use during pregnancy

NOTICE

• Pre-tensioner seat belts may be

activated in certain frontal or side

collisions or rollovers (if equipped

with rollover sensor).

The seat belt should always be used

during pregnancy. The best way to pro-

tect your unborn child is to protect your-

self by always wearing the seat belt.

Pregnant women should always wear a

lap-shoulder seat belt. Place the shoul-

der belt across your chest, routed

between your breasts and away from

your neck. Place the lap belt below your

belly so that it fits SNUGLY across your

hips and pelvic bone, under the round-

ed part of the belly.

• When the pre-tensioner seat belts

are activated, a loud noise may be

heard and fine dust, which may

appear to be smoke, may be visi-

ble in the passenger compartment.

These are normal operating condi-

tions and are not hazardous.

• Although it is non-toxic, the fine

dust may cause skin irritation and

should not be breathed for pro-

longed periods. Wash all exposed

skin areas thoroughly after an

accident in which the pre-tension-

er seat belts were activated.

WARNING

• Pregnant women or patients are

more vulnerable to any impacts on

the abdomen during an abrupt

stop or accident. If you are in an

accident whilst pregnant, consult

your doctor.

• To reduce the risk of serious injury

or death to an unborn child during

an accident, pregnant women

should NEVER place the lap portion

of the seat belt above or over the

area of the abdomen where the

unborn child is located.

3-3-27

Safety system

Larger children

Seat belt use and children

Children under age 13 and who are too

large for a booster seat must always

occupy the rear seat and use the avail-

able lap/shoulder belts. A seat belt

should lie across the upper thighs and

be snug across the shoulder and chest

to restrain the child safely. Check belt fit

periodically. A child’s squirming could

put the belt out of position. Children are

afforded the most safety in the event of

an accident when they are restrained

by a proper restraint system and/or

seat belts in the rear seat.

If a larger child over age 13 must be

seated in the front seat, the child must

be securely restrained by the available

lap/shoulder belt and the seat should

be placed in the rearmost position.

If the shoulder belt portion slightly

touches the child’s neck or face, try

placing the child closer to the centre of

the vehicle. If the shoulder belt still

touches their face or neck, they need to

be returned to an appropriate booster

seat in the rear seat.

Infant and small children

Most countries have child restraint laws

which require children to travel in

approved child restraint devices, includ-

ing booster seats. The age at which

seat belts can be used instead of child

restraints differs among countries, so

you should be aware of the specific

requirements in your country, and

where you are travelling. Infant and

child restraints must be properly placed

and installed in a rear seat. For more

details, refer to the “Child Restraint

Systems” in this chapter.

WARNING

ALWAYS properly restrain infants

and small children in a child restraint

appropriate for the child’s height

and weight.

To reduce the risk of serious injury

or death to a child and other passen-

gers, NEVER hold a child in your lap

or arms when the vehicle is moving.

The violent forces created during an

accident will tear the child from your

arms and throw the child against the

interior of the vehicle.

WARNING

• Always make sure larger chil-

dren’s seat belts are worn and

properly adjusted.

Small children are best protected from

injury in an accident when properly

restrained in the rear seat by a child

restraint system that meets the require-

ments of the Safety Standards of your

country. Before buying any child

restraint system, make sure that it has

a label certifying that it meets Safety

Standard of your country. The restraint

must be appropriate for your child’s

height and weight. Check the label on

the child restraint for this information.

Refer to “Child Restraint Systems” in

this chapter.

• NEVER allow the shoulder belt to

contact the child’s neck or face.

• Do not allow more than one child

to use a single seat belt.

3-28

03

Seat belt use and injured people

Care of seat belts

A seat belt should be used when an

injured person is being transported.

Consult a physician for specific recom-

mendations.

Seat belt systems should never be dis-

assembled or modified. In addition,

care should be taken to assure that

seat belts and belt hardware are not

damaged by seat hinges, doors or oth-

er abuse.

One person per belt

Two people (including children) should

never attempt to use a single seat belt.

This could increase the severity of inju-

ries in case of an accident.

Periodic inspection

All seat belts should be inspected peri-

odically for wear or damage of any kind.

Any damaged parts should be replaced

as soon as possible.

Do not lie down

Sitting in a reclined position when the

vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.

Even when buckled up, the protections

of your restraint system (seat belts and/

or airbags) is greatly reduced by reclin-

ing your seatback.

Seat belts must be snug against your

hips and chest to work properly. During

an accident, you could be thrown into

the seat belt, causing neck or other

injuries.

Keep belts clean and dry

Seat belts should be kept clean and

dry. If belts become dirty, they can be

cleaned by using a mild soap solution

and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong

detergents or abrasives should not be

used because they may damage and

weaken the fabric.

When to replace seat belts

The entire seat belt assembly or assem-

blies should be replaced if the vehicle

has been involved in an accident. This

should be done even if no damage is

visible. We recommend that you con-

sult a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

The more the seatback is reclined, the

greater chance the passenger’s hips

will slide under the lap belt or the pas-

senger’s neck will strike the shoulder

belt.

WARNING

• NEVER ride with a reclined seat-

back when the vehicle is moving.

• Riding with a reclined seatback

increases your chance of serious

or fatal injuries in the event of a

collision or sudden stop.

• Driver and passengers should

always sit well back in their seats

with the seatbacks upright and

should be belted properly.

Safety system

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM (CRS)

Child Restraint Systems must be prop-

erly placed and installed in the rear

seat. You must use a commercially

available Child Restraint System that

meets the requirements of the Safety

Standards of your country.

Child Restraint Systems are generally

designed to be secured in a vehicle

seat by lap belt or the lap belt portion of

a lap/shoulder belt, or by a top-tether

and/or ISOFIX anchorage in the rear

seats of the vehicle.

Our recommendation:

Children always in the rear

WARNING

Always properly restrain children in

the rear seats of the vehicle, unless

the airbag on the front passenger

seat is deactivated.

Children of all ages are safer when

restrained in the rear seat. A child

riding in the front passenger seat

can be forcefully struck by an inflat-

ing airbag resulting in SERIOUS

INJURY or DEATH.

Child Restraint System (CRS)

always in the rear

Infants and younger children must be

restrained in an appropriate rearward-

facing or forward-facing CRS that has

first been properly secured to the rear

seat of the vehicle. Read and comply

with the instructions for installation and

use provided by the manufacturer of

the Child Restraint System.

Children under age 13 must always ride

in the rear seats and must always be

properly restrained to minimise the risk

of injury in an accident, sudden stop or

sudden manoeuvre. According to acci-

dent statistics, children are safer when

properly restrained in the rear seats

than in the front seat. Children too large

for a Child Restraint System must use

the seat belts provided.

WARNING

• Always follow the Child Restraint

System manufacturer’s instruc-

tions for installation and use.

Most countries have Child Restraint

Systems which require children to trav-

el in approved Child Restraint Systems.

The laws governing the age or height/

weight restrictions at which seat belts

can be used instead of Child Restraint

System differs among countries, so you

should be aware of the specific require-

ments in your country, and where you

are travelling.

• Always properly restrain your

child in the Child Restraint Sys-

tem.

• Do not use an infant carrier or a

child safety seat that “hooks” over

a seatback, it may not provide ade-

quate protection in an accident.

• After an accident, we recommend

a HYUNDAI dealer check the Child

Restraint System, seat belts, ISO-

FIX anchorages and top-tether

anchorages.

3-30

03

Selecting a Child Restraint

System (CRS)

When selecting a CRS for your child,

always:

• Make sure the CRS has a label certi-

fying that it meets applicable Safety

Standards of your country.

• Select a Child Restraint System

based on your child’s height and

weight. The required label or the

instructions for use typically provide

this information.

• Select a Child Restraint System that

fits the vehicle seating position where

it will be used.

• Read and comply with the warnings

and instructions for installation and

use provided with the Child Restraint

System.

CRS09

Rearward-facing Child Restraint

System

A rearward-facing Child Restraint Sys-

tem provides restraint with the seating

surface against the back of the child.

The harness system holds the child in

place, and in an accident, acts to keep

the child positioned in the Child

Restraint Systems and reduce the

stress to the fragile neck and spinal

cord.

All children under the age of one year

must always ride in a rearward-facing

Child Restraint System. There are dif-

ferent types of rearward-facing Child

Restraint Systems: infant-only Child

Restraint Systems can only be used

rearward-facing. Convertible and 3-in-1

Child Restraint Systems typically have

higher height and weight limits for the

rearward-facing position, allowing you

to keep your child rearward-facing for a

longer period of time.

Child Restraint System types

There are three main types of Child

Restraint Systems: rearward-facing

seats, forward-facing seats, and boost-

er seats. They are classified according

to the child’s age, height and weight.

Keep using Child Restraint Systems in

the rearward-facing position as long as

children fit within the height and weight

limits allowed by the Child Restraint

System’s manufacturer.

3-3-31

Safety system

Installing a Child Restraint

System (CRS)

WARNING

Before installing your Child Restraint

System always:

Read and follow the instructions

provided by the manufacturer of the

Child Restraint System.

OIB034017

Failure to follow all warnings and

instructions could increase the risk

of the SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH if

an accident occurs.

Forward-facing Child Restraint

System

A forward-facing Child Restraint Sys-

tem provides restraint for the child’s

body with a harness. Keep children in a

forward-facing Child Restraint System

with a harness until they reach the top

height or weight limit allowed by your

Child Restraint System’s manufacturer.

Once your child outgrows the forward-

facing Child Restraint System, your

child is ready for a booster seat.

WARNING

If the vehicle head restraint prevents

proper installation of

a

Child

Restraint System, the head restraint

of the respective seating position

shall be readjusted or entirely

removed.

Booster seats

After selecting a proper Child Restraint

System and checking that the Child

Restraint System fits properly in the

rear of this vehicle, you are ready to

install the Child Restraint System

according to the manufacturer’s instruc-

tion. There are three general steps in

installing the Child Restraint Systems

properly:

A booster seat is Child Restraint Sys-

tem designed to improve the fit of the

vehicle’s seat belt system. A booster

seat positions the seat belt so that it fits

properly over the stronger parts of your

child’s body. Keep your children in

booster seats until they are big enough

to fit in a seat belt properly.

• Properly secure the Child Restraint

System to the vehicle. All Child

Restraint System must be secured to

the vehicle with the lap belt or lap part

of a lap/shoulder belt or with the ISO-

FIX top-tether and/or ISOFIX anchor-

age.

For a seat belt to fit properly, the lap

belt must lie comfortable across the

upper thighs, not the stomach. The

shoulder belt should lie comfortable

across the shoulder and chest and not

across the neck or face. Children under

age 13 must always be properly

restrained to minimise the risk of injury

in an accident, sudden stop or sudden

manoeuvre.

3-32

03

• Make sure the Child Restraint Sys-

tem is firmly secured. After install-

ing a Child Restraint System to the

vehicle, push and pull the seat for-

ward and from side-to-side to verify

that it is securely attached to the seat.

A Child Restraint System secured

with a seat belt should be installed as

firmly as possible. However, some

side-to- side movement can be

expected.

When installing a Child Restraint

System, adjust the vehicle seat (up

and down, forward and rearward) so

that your child fits in the Child

Restraint System in a comfortable

manner.

The ISOFIX system uses anchors in

the vehicle and attachments on the

Child Restraint System. The ISOFIX

system eliminates the need to use seat

belts to secure the Child Restraint Sys-

tem to the rear seats.

ISOFIX anchorages are metal bars built

into the vehicle. There are two lower

anchors for each ISOFIX seating posi-

tion that will accommodate a Child

Restraint System with lower attach-

ments.

To use the ISOFIX system in your vehi-

cle, you must have a Child Restraint

System with ISOFIX attachments. (An

ISOFIX Child Restraint System may

only be installed if it has vehicle-specif-

ic or universal approval in accordance

with the requirements of ECE-R44 or

ECE-R129.)

• Secure the child in the Child

Restraint System. Make sure the

child is properly strapped in the Child

Restraint System according to the

Child Restraint System manufactur-

er’s instructions.

The Child Restraint System manufac-

turer will provide you with instructions

on how to use the Child Restraint Sys-

tem with its attachments for the ISOFIX

anchorages.

CAUTION

A Child Restraint System in a closed

vehicle can become very hot. To pre-

vent burns, check the seating sur-

face and buckles before placing your

child in the Child Restraint System.

ISOFIX anchorage and top-tether

anchorage (ISOFIX anchorages

system) for children

The ISOFIX system holds a Child

Safety system

This vehicle is equipped with a Supple-

mental Airbag System for the driver’s

seat and front passenger’s seats.

WARNING

Airbag SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The front airbags are designed to sup-

plement the three-point seat belts. For

these airbags to provide protection, the

seat belts must be worn at all times

when driving.

You can be severely injured or killed in

an accident if you are not wearing a

seat belt. Airbags are designed to sup-

plement seat belts, but do not replace

them. Also, airbags are not designed to

deploy in every collision. In some acci-

dents, the seat belts are the only

restraint protecting you.

ALWAYS use seat belts and child

restraints - every trip, every time,

everyone! Even with airbags, you

can be seriously injured or killed in a

collision if you are improperly belted

or not wearing your seat belt when

the airbag inflates.

NEVER place a child in any child

restraint or booster seat in the front

passenger seat. An inflating airbag

could forcefully strike the infant or

child causing serious or fatal inju-

ries.

ABC - Always Buckle Children under

age 13 in the back seat. It is the saf-

est place for children of any age to

ride. If a child age 13 or older must

be seated in the front seat, he or she

must be properly belted and the seat

should be moved as far back as pos-

sible.

All occupants should sit upright with

the seatback in an upright position,

centred on the seat cushion with

their seat belt on, legs comfortably

extended and their feet on the floor

until the vehicle is parked and the

engine is turned off. If an occupant

is out of position during an accident,

the rapidly deploying airbag may

forcefully contact the occupant

causing serious or fatal injuries.

You and your passengers should

never sit or lean unnecessarily close

to the airbags or lean against the

door or centre console.

Move your seat as far back as pos-

sible from front airbags, whilst still

maintaining control of the vehicle.

Where are the airbags?

Driver’s and passenger’s

airbags (if equipped)

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury

or death from an inflating front air-

bags, take the following precau-

tions:

Driver’s front airbag

• Seat belts must be worn at all

times to help keep occupants posi-

tioned properly.

• Move your seat as far back as pos-

sible from front airbags, whilst still

maintaining control of the vehicle.

• Never lean against the door or cen-

tre console.

OAC3033036R

• Do not allow the front passenger

to place their feet or legs on the

dashboard.

Passenger's front airbag

• No objects (such as crash pad

cover, mobile phone holder, cup

holder, air fresheners or stickers)

should be placed over or near the

airbag modules on the steering

wheel, instrument panel, wind-

screen glass, and the front pas-

senger’s panel above the glove

box. Such objects could cause

harm if the vehicle is in a crash

severe enough to cause the air-

bags to deploy.

OAC3039037R

Your vehicle is equipped with a Sup-

plemental Restraint System (SRS)

and lap/shoulder belts at both the

driver and passenger seating posi-

tions.

• Do not attach any objects on front

windscreen and inside mirror.

• Hold the steering wheel at the 9

o’clock and 3 o’clock positions, to

minimise the risk of injuries to

your hands and arms.

The SRS consists of airbags which are

located in the center of the steering

wheel and the passenger’s side front

panel pad above the glove box. The air-

bags are labelled with the letters “AIR-

BAG” embossed on the pad covers.

The purpose of the SRS is to provide

the vehicle’s driver and front passen-

gers with additional protection than that

offered by the seat belt system alone in

case of a frontal impact of sufficient

severity.

Safety system

Side airbags (if equipped)

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury

or death from an inflating side air-

bag, take the following precautions:

• Seat belts must be worn at all

times to help keep occupants posi-

tioned properly.

• Do not allow passengers to lean

their heads or bodies onto doors,

put their arms on the doors, stretch

their arms out of the window, or

place objects between the doors

and seats.

OAC3039019TU

• Do not use any accessory seat

covers. This could reduce or pre-

vent the effectiveness of the sys-

tem.

• Do not place any objects over the

airbag or between the airbag and

yourself. Also, do not attach any

objects around the area the airbag

inflates such as the door, side

door glass, front and rear pillar.

OAC3039020R

Your vehicle is equipped with a side air-

bag in each front seat.

The purpose of the airbag is to provide

the vehicle’s driver and the front pas-

senger with additional protection than

that offered by the seat belt alone.

The side airbags are designed to deploy

only during certain side impact colli-

sions, depending on the crash severity.

• Do not place any objects between

the door and the seat. They may

become dangerous projectiles if

the side airbag inflates.

• Do not install any accessories on

the side or near the side airbags.

For vehicles equipped with a rollover

sensor the side and/or curtain airbags

and pre-tensioners on both sides of the

vehicle may deploy if a rollover or pos-

sible rollover is detected.

The side airbags are not designed to

deploy in all side impact or rollover situ-

ations.

3-46

03

• Do not put any objects between

the side airbag label and seat

cushion. It could cause harm if the

vehicle is in a crash severe enough

to cause the airbags to deploy.

Curtain airbags (if equipped)

• Do not cause impact to the doors

when the ignition switch is in the

ON position or this may cause the

side airbags to inflate.

• If the seat or seat cover is dam-

aged, we recommend that the sys-

tem be serviced by a HYUNDAI

authorised repairer.

OAC3039021TU

OAC3039029R

Curtain airbags are located along both

sides of the roof rails above the front

and rear doors.

They are designed to help protect the

heads of the front seat occupants and

the rear outboard seat occupants in

certain side impact collisions.

The curtain airbags are designed to

deploy only during certain side impact

collisions, depending on the crash

severity.

For vehicles equipped with a rollover

sensor the side and/or curtain airbags

on both sides of the vehicle may deploy

if a rollover or possible rollover is

detected.

The curtain airbags are not designed to

deploy in all side impact or rollover situ-

ations.

Do not hang heavy items on the coat

tions:

• All seat occupants must wear seat

belts at all times to help keep occu-

pants positioned properly.

• Properly secure child restraints as

far away from the door as possi-

ble.

• Do not place any objects over the

03

During a frontal collision, sensors will

SRS warning light

detect the vehicle’s deceleration. If the

rate of deceleration is high enough, the

control unit will inflate the front airbags,

at the time and with the force needed.

The SRS (Supplement Restraint Sys-

tem) airbag warning light on the instru-

ment panel displays the airbag symbol

depicted in the illustration. The system

checks the airbag electrical system for

malfunctions. The light indicates that

there is a potential problem with your

airbag system, which could include

your side and/or curtain airbags used

for rollover protection (if equipped with

rollover sensor).

The front airbags help protect the driver

and front passenger by responding to

frontal impacts in which seat belts alone

cannot provide adequate restraint.

When needed, the side airbags help

provide protection in the event of a side

impact or rollover by supporting the

side upper body area.

• Airbags are activated (able to inflate if

necessary) only when the ignition

switch is in the ON position.

• Airbags inflate in the event of certain

frontal or side collisions to help pro-

tect the occupants from serious phys-

ical injury.

• Generally, airbags are designed to

inflate based upon the severity of a

collision it’s direction etc. These two

factors determine whether the sen-

sors produce an electronic deploy-

ment/inflation signal.

• The front airbags will completely

inflate and deflate in an instant. It is

virtually impossible for you to see the

airbags inflate during an accident. It

is much more likely that you will sim-

ply see the deflated airbags hanging

out of their storage compartments

after the collision.

WARNING

If your SRS malfunctions, the airbag

may not inflate properly during an

accident, increasing the risk of seri-

ous injury or death.

If any of the following conditions

occur, your SRS is malfunctioning:

• The light does not turn on for

about six seconds when the igni-

tion switch is in the ON position.

• The light stays on after illuminat-

ing for about six seconds.

• The light comes on whilst the vehi-

cle is in motion.

• The light blinks when the engine is

running.

We recommend that a HYUNDAI

authorised repairer inspect the SRS

as soon as possible if any of these

conditions occur.

3-49

Safety system

Driver's front airbag (1)

• In addition to inflating in serious side

collisions, vehicles equipped with a

rollover sensor, side and/or curtain

airbags will inflate if the sensing sys-

tem detects a rollover.

When a rollover is detected, curtain

airbags will remain inflated longer to

help provide protection from ejection,

especially when used in conjunction

with the seat belts. (if equipped with a

rollover sensor)

OIK037081R

• To help provide protection, the air-

bags must inflate rapidly. The speed

of airbag inflation is a consequence

of extremely short time in which to

inflate the airbag between the occu-

pant and the vehicle structures before

the occupant impacts those struc-

tures. This speed of inflation reduces

the risk of serious or life-threatening

injuries and is thus a necessary part

of airbag design.

When the SRSCM detects a sufficiently

severe impact to the front of the vehi-

cle, it will automatically deploy the front

airbags.

Driver's front airbag (2)

However, the rapid airbag inflation

can also cause injuries which can

include facial abrasions, bruises and

broken bones because the inflation

speed also causes the airbags to

expand with a great deal of force.

• There are even circumstances under

which contact with the airbag can

cause fatal injuries, especially if the

occupant is positioned excessively

close to the airbag.

You can take steps to reduce the risk of

being injured by an inflating airbag. The

greatest risk is sitting too close to the

airbag. An airbag needs space to

inflate. It is recommended that drivers

sit as far as possible between the cen-

ter of the steering wheel and the chest

whilst still maintaining control of the

vehicle.

OIK037082R

Upon deployment, tear seams molded

directly into the pad covers will sepa-

rate under pressure from the expansion

of the airbags. Further opening of the

covers allows full inflation of the air-

bags.

A fully inflated airbag, in combination

with a properly worn seat belt, slows

the driver’s or the front passenger’s for-

ward motion, reducing the risk of head

and chest injury.

3-50

03

Driver's front airbag (3)

What to expect after an airbag

inflates

After a frontal or side airbag inflates, it

will deflate very quickly. Airbag inflation

will not prevent the driver from seeing

out of the windscreen or being able to

steer. Curtain airbags may remain par-

tially inflated for some time after they

deploy.

OIK037083R

WARNING

Passenger’s front airbag

After an airbag inflates, take the fol-

lowing precautions:

• Open your windows and doors as

soon as possible after impact to

reduce prolonged exposure to the

smoke and powder released by the

inflating airbag.

• Do not touch the airbag storage

area’s internal components imme-

diately after an airbag has inflated.

The parts that come into contact

with an inflating airbag may be

very hot.

OIK037084R

After complete inflation, the airbag

immediately starts deflating, enabling

the driver to maintain forward visibility

and the ability to steer or operate other

controls.

• Always wash exposed skin areas

thoroughly with cold water and

mild soap.

• We recommend that a HYUNDAI

authorised repairer replace the air-

bag immediately after deployment.

Airbags are designed to be used

only once.

WARNING

To prevent objects from becoming

dangerous projectiles when the pas-

senger’s airbag inflates:

• Do not install or place any objects

(drink holder, CD holder, stickers,

etc.) on the front passenger’s pan-

el above the glove box where the

passenger’s airbag is located.

• Do not install a container of liquid

air freshener near the instrument

cluster or on the instrument panel

surface.

Safety system

Noise and smoke from inflating

airbag

Do not install a child restraint

on the front passenger seat

When the airbags inflate, they make a

loud noise and may produce smoke

and powder in the air inside of the vehi-

cle. This is normal and is a result of the

ignition of the airbag inflator. After the

airbag inflates, you may feel substantial

discomfort in breathing because of the

contact of your chest with both the seat

belt and the airbag, as well as from

breathing the smoke and powder. The

powder may aggravate asthma for

some people. If you experience breath-

ing problems after an airbag deploy-

ment, seek medical attention immedi-

ately.

Type A

OHI038169L

Type B

Though the smoke and powder are

nontoxic, they may cause irritation to

the skin, eyes, nose, throat, etc. If this

is the case, wash and rinse with cold

water immediately and seek medical

attention if the symptoms persist.

OHI038170L

Never install a child restraint in the front

passenger’s seat. An inflating airbag can

forcefully strike a child or restraint result-

ing in serious or fatal injury.

WARNING

• Extreme hazard! Do not use a rear-

ward facing child restraint on a

seat protected by an airbag in front

of it!

• NEVER use a rearward facing child

restraint on a seat protected by an

ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it,

DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the

CHILD can occur.

• Never put a child restraint in the

front passenger’s seat. If the front

passenger airbag inflates, it would

cause serious or fatal injuries.

3-52

03

Airbag collision sensors

Why didn’t my airbag go off in

a collision?

There are certain types of accidents in

which the airbag would not be expected

to provide additional protection. These

include rear impacts, second or third

collisions in multiple impact accidents,

as well as low speed impacts. Damage

to the vehicle indicates a collision ener-

gy absorption, and is not an indicator of

whether or not an airbag should have

inflated.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of an airbag

deploying unexpectedly and caus-

ing serious injury or death:

• Do not hit or allow any objects to

impact the locations where air-

bags or sensors are installed.

• Do not perform maintenance on or

around the airbag sensors. If the

location or angle of the sensors is

altered, the airbags may deploy

when they should not or may not

deploy when they should.

• Installing bumper guards with

non-genuine HYUNDAI or non-

equivalent parts may adversely

affect the collision and airbag

deployment performance.

To ensure correct function of the

airbag system, we recommend to

replace the bumper with genuine

HYUNDAI part or the equivalent (of

the genuine part) specified for

your vehicle.

• Place the ignition switch to the

LOCK/OFF or ACC position, when

the vehicle is being towed to pre-

vent inadvertent airbag deploy-

ment.

• We recommend that all airbag

repairs are performed by a HYUN-

DAI authorised repairer.

Front airbags

Front airbags are designed to inflate in

a frontal collision depending on the

severity of impact of the front collision.

OAC3039029R

Side and curtain airbags

Side and curtain airbags are designed

to inflate when an impact is detected by

side collision sensors depending on the

severity of impact resulting from a side

impact collision. Although the driver’s

and front passenger’s airbags are

designed to inflate only in frontal colli-

sions, they also may inflate in other

types of collisions if the front impact

sensors detect a sufficient impact. Side

and curtain airbags are designed to

inflate only in side impact collisions or

rollover situations (if equipped with roll-

over sensor), but they may inflate in

other collisions if the side impact sen-

sors detect a sufficient impact. If the

vehicle chassis is impacted by bumps or

objects on unimproved roads, the airbags

may deploy. Drive carefully on unim-

proved roads or on surfaces not designed

for vehicle traffic to prevent unintended

airbag deployment.

3-55

Safety system

Airbag non-inflation conditions

OAC3033028R

OAC3039030TU

Front airbags may not inflate in side

impact collisions, because occupants

move in the direction of the collision,

and thus in side impacts, front airbag

deployment would not provide addition-

al occupant protection.

In certain low-speed collisions the air-

bags may not deploy. The airbags are

designed not to deploy in such cases

because they may not provide benefits

beyond the protection of the seat belts.

However, side and curtain airbags may

inflate depending on the severity of

impact.

OAC3039031TU

Front airbags are not designed to inflate

in rear collisions, because occupants

are moved backward by the force of the

impact. In this case, inflated airbags

would not provide any additional bene-

fit.

OBH038060

In an angled collision, the force of

impact may direct the occupants in a

direction where the airbags would not

be able to provide any additional bene-

fit, and thus the sensors may not deploy

any airbags.

Information

i

• Vehicles equipped with rollover sen-

sor

The side and curtain airbags may

inflate in a rollover situation, when it

is detected by the rollover sensor.

• Vehicles not equipped with rollover

sensor

OAC3039033TU

The side and/or curtain airbags may

inflate when the vehicle is rolled over

by a side impact collision, if the vehi-

cle is equipped with side and/or cur-

tain airbags.

Just before impact, drivers often brake

heavily. Such heavy braking lowers the

front portion of the vehicle causing it to

“ride” under a vehicle with a higher

ground clearance. Airbags may not

inflate in this “under-ride” situation

because deceleration forces that are

detected by sensors may be significant-

ly reduced by such “underride” colli-

sions.

OAC3033034TU

Airbags may not inflate if the vehicle

collides with objects such as utility

poles or trees, where the point of impact

is concentrated and the collision energy

is absorbed by the vehicle structure.

OHI038166

Front airbags may not inflate in rollover

accidents because front airbag deploy-

ment would not provide additional

occupant protection.

SRS Care

WARNING

The SRS is virtually maintenance-free

and there are no parts you can safely

service by yourself. If the SRS airbag

warning light does not illuminate when

the ignition switch is in the ON position,

or continuously remains on, we recom-

mend that the system be immediately

inspected by a HYUNDAI authorised

repairer.

We recommend any work on the SRS

system, such as removing, installing,

repairing, or any work on the steering

wheel, the front passenger’s panel,

front seats and roof rails be performed

by a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

Improper handling of the SRS system

may result in serious personal injury.

To reduce the risk of serious injury

or death take the following precau-

tions:

• Do not attempt to modify or dis-

connect the SRS components or

wiring, including the addition of

any kind of badges to the pad cov-

ers or modifications to the body

structure.

• Do not place objects over or near

the airbag modules on the steering

wheel, instrument panel, and the

front passenger’s panel above the

glove box.

• Clean the airbag pad covers with a

soft cloth moistened with plain

water. Solvents or cleaners could

adversely affect the airbag covers

and proper deployment of the sys-

tem.

• We recommend that inflated air-

bags be replaced by a HYUNDAI

authorised repairer.

• If components of the airbag sys-

tem must be discarded, or if the

vehicle must be scrapped, certain

safety precautions must be

observed.We recommend that you

consult a HYUNDAI authorised

repairer the necessary informa-

tion. Failure to follow these pre-

cautions could increase the risk of

personal injury.

Additional safety precautions

Airbag warning labels

(if equipped)

Passengers should not move out of

or change seats whilst the vehicle is

moving. A passenger who is not wear-

ing a seat belt during a crash or emer-

gency stop can be thrown against the

inside of the vehicle, against other

occupants, or be ejected from the vehi-

cle.

Do not use any accessories on seat

belts. Devices claiming to improve

occupant comfort or reposition the seat

belt can reduce the protection provided

by the seat belt and increase the

chance of serious injury in a crash

OAC3039035R

Airbag warning labels are attached to

alert the driver and passengers of

potential risks of the airbag system.

Be sure to read all of the information

about the airbags that are installed on

your vehicle in this Owner’s Manual.

Do not modify the front seats.

Modification of the front seats could

interfere with the operation of the sup-

plemental restraint system sensing

components or side airbags.

Do not place items under the front

seats. Placing items under the front

seats could interfere with the operation

of the supplemental restraint system

sensing components and wiring har-

nesses.

Do not cause impact to the doors.

Impact to the doors when the ignition

switch is in the ON position may cause

the airbags to inflate.

Adding equipment to or modify-

ing your airbag equipped vehicle

If you modify your vehicle by changing

your vehicle’s frame, bumper system,

front end or side sheet metal or ride

height, this may affect the operation of

your vehicle’s airbag system.
