IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
You will find many safety precautions  
and recommendations throughout  
this section, and throughout this man-  
ual. The safety precautions in this  
section are among the most impor-  
tant.  
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 distractions, such as drowsi-  
ness, reaching for objects, eating,  
personal grooming, other passen-  
gers, and using mobile phones.  
Always wear your seat belt  
A seat belt is your best protection in  
all types of accidents. Air bags are  
designed to supplement seat belts,  
not replace them. So even though  
your vehicle is equipped with air  
bags, ALWAYS make sure you and  
your passengers wear your seat  
belts, and wear them properly.  
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 driv-  
ing. To reduce your risk of distraction  
and an accident:  
‡ꢀ ALWAYS set up your mobile devic-  
es (i.e., MP3 players, phones, navi-  
gation units, etc.) when your vehicle  
is parked or safely stopped.  
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.  
‡ꢀ ONLY use your mobile device when  
allowed by laws and conditions per-  
mit safe use.  
‡ꢀ NEVER text or email whilst driving.  
Most countries have laws prohibit-  
ing drivers from texting. Some  
countries and cities also prohibit  
drivers from using handheld  
phones.  
Air bag hazards  
Whilst air bags can save lives, they  
can also cause serious or fatal inju-  
ries 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 air  
bag. Follow all instructions and warn-  
ings in this manual.  
‡ꢀ 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.  
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 condi-  
tions, regardless of the maximum  
speed posted.  
Keep your vehicle in safe  
condition  
Having a tyre blowout or a mechani-  
cal failure can be extremely hazard-  
ous. To reduce the possibility of such  
problems, check your tyre pressures  
and condition frequently, and perform  
all regularly scheduled maintenance.

Air bags  
Safety precautions  
You can take steps to reduce the risk  
of being injured by an inflating air  
bag. Sitting too close to an air bag  
greatly increases the risk of injury in  
the event the air bag inflates. Move  
your seat as far back as possible from  
front air bags, whilst still maintaining  
control of the vehicle.  
Adjusting the seats so that you are  
sitting in a safe, comfortable position  
plays an important role in driver and  
passenger safety together with the  
seat belts and air bags 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  
internal injuries could result  
because the seat belt cannot oper-  
ate properly.  
WARNING  
To reduce the risk of serious injury  
or death from an inflating air bag,  
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 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 air bag.  
‡ꢀ 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  
Always fasten your seat belt before  
starting any trip.  
Front seats  
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 instru-  
ment panel.  
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 unex-  
pected 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  
pedals, causing an accident.  
‡ꢀ NEVER allow children or small  
infants to ride in a passenger’s  
lap.  
‡ꢀ Do not allow anything to inter-  
fere with the normal position and  
proper locking of the seatback.  
‡ꢀ Do not route the seat belt across  
your neck, across sharp edges,  
or reroute the shoulder strap  
away from your body.  
‡ꢀ Do not place a cigarette lighter  
on the floor or seat. When you  
operate 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 pick-  
ing small objects trapped under  
the seats or between the seat  
and the centre console. Your  
hands might be cut or injured by  
the sharp edges 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 unex-  
pectedly 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 rear-  
ward:  
1. Pull up the seat slide adjustment  
lever and hold it.  
‡ꢀ Do not allow your hands or fin-  
gers to get caught in the seat  
mechanisms whilst the seat is  
moving.  
2. Slide the seat to the position you  
desire.  
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.

Safety system  
Reclining seatback  
Seatback angle  
Sitting in a reclined position when the  
vehicle is in motion can be danger-  
ous. Even when buckled up, the pro-  
tections of your restraint system (seat  
belts and/or air bags) is greatly  
reduced by reclining your seatback.  
WARNING  
NEVER ride with a reclined seat-  
back when the vehicle is moving.  
OAC3039003R  
To recline the seatback:  
Riding with a reclined seatback  
increases your chance of serious  
or fatal injuries in the event of a  
collision or sudden stop.  
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.  
Drivers and passengers should  
ALWAYS sit well back in their  
seats, properly belted, and with  
the seatbacks upright.  
3. Release the lever and make sure  
the seatback is locked in place.  
(The lever MUST return to its origi-  
nal position for the seatback to  
lock.)  
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  
passenger’s neck will strike the shoul-  
der belt.

Safety system  
1. Set the front seatback to the  
upright position and if necessary,  
slide the front seat forward.  
Rear seats (if equipped)  
The rear seatbacks can be folded to  
facilitate carrying long items or to  
increase the luggage capacity of the  
vehicle.  
2. Lower the rear head restraints to  
the lowest position (if equipped  
with adjustable head restraints).  
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 seri-  
ous injury or death in case of an  
accident 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 forward 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 seat-  
back when folding.

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 seat-  
back 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 com-  
partment, which could result in  
serious injury or death.

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.

Head restraint  
WARNING  
The vehicle’s front and rear seats  
have adjustable head restraints. The  
head restraints provide comfort for  
passengers, but more importantly  
they are designed to help protect  
passengers from whiplash and other  
neck and spinal injuries during an  
accident, especially 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 occu-  
pants. Do not place objects in the  
rear seats, since they cannot be  
properly secured and may hit the  
front seat occupants in a collision.

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.  
‡ꢀ Never wear a seat belt over frag-  
ile objects. If there is a sudden  
stop or impact, the seat belt can  
damage it.  
‡ꢀ Do not use the seat belt if it is  
twisted. A twisted seat belt will  
not protect you properly in an  
accident.  
Seat belt safety precautions  
Always fasten your seat belt and  
make sure all passengers have fas-  
tened their seat belts before starting  
any trip. Air bags (if equipped) are  
designed to supplement the seat belt  
as an additional safety device, but  
they are not a substitute. Most coun-  
tries require all occupants of a vehicle  
to wear seat belts.  
‡ꢀ Do not use a seat belt if the web-  
bing or hardware is damaged.  
‡ꢀ Do not latch the seat belt into the  
buckles of other seats.  
‡ꢀ 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. This may  
prevent the seat belt from fasten-  
ing securely.  
WARNING  
Seat belts must be used by ALL  
passengers whenever the vehicle  
is moving. Take the following pre-  
cautions when adjusting and wear-  
ing seat belts:  
‡ꢀ No modifications or additions  
should be made by the user  
which will either prevent the seat  
belt adjusting devices from oper-  
ating 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  
properly restrain them in the  
seat.  
WARNING  
Damaged seat belts and seat belt  
assemblies will not operate prop-  
erly. Always replace:  
‡ꢀ NEVER allow an infant or child to  
be carried on an occupant’s lap.  
‡ꢀ Frayed, contaminated, or dam-  
aged webbing.  
‡ꢀ NEVER ride with the seatback  
reclined when the vehicle is mov-  
ing.  
‡ꢀ Damaged hardware.  
‡ꢀ The entire seat belt assembly  
after it has been worn in an acci-  
dent, 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.

WARNING  
OIK037091R  
You should place the lap belt (1) por-  
tion across your hips and the shoul-  
der belt (2) portion across your chest.  
OAE036074R  
Improperly positioned seat belts  
may increase the risk of serious  
injury in an accident. Take the fol-  
lowing precautions when adjust-  
ing the seat belt:  
The seat belt automatically adjusts to  
the proper length after the lap belt  
portion is adjusted manually so that it  
fits snugly around your hips. If you  
lean forward in a slow, easy motion,  
the belt will extend and move with  
you.  
‡ꢀ 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.  
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  
quickly.  
‡ꢀ Position one arm under the  
shoulder belt and the other over  
the belt, as shown in the illustra-  
tion.  
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.

and front passenger’s and rear left  
side and right side passenger’s pre-  
tensioner seat belts (Retractor Pre-  
tensioner and EFD (Emergency  
Fastening Device)).  
When it is released, the belt should  
automatically draw back into the  
retractor. If this does not happen,  
check the belt to be sure it is not  
twisted, then try again.  
The purpose of the pre-tensioner is to  
make sure the seat belts fit tightly  
against the occupant’s body in cer-  
tain frontal or side collision(s). The  
pre-tensioner seat belts may be acti-  
vated in crashes where the frontal or  
side collision(s) is severe enough,  
together with the air bags.

seat belt into tighter contact against  
the occupant’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  
twisted seat belt will not protect  
you properly in an accident.  
The purpose of the retractor preten-  
sioner is to make sure that the  
shoulder belts fit in tightly against  
the occupant’s upper body in cer-  
tain frontal or side collision(s).  
‡ꢀ Do not place anything near the  
buckle. This may adversely affect  
the buckle and cause it to func-  
tion improperly.  
- EFD (Emergency Fastening  
Device)  
‡ꢀ Always replace your pre-tension-  
ers after activation or an acci-  
dent.  
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)  
‡ꢀ NEVER inspect, service, repair  
or replace the pre-tensioners  
yourself. This must be done by a  
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.  
If the system senses excessive ten-  
sion on the driver or passenger’s seat  
belt when the pre-tensioner system  
activates, the load limiter inside the  
retractor pre-tensioner will release  
some of the pressure on the affected  
seat belt.  
‡ꢀ Do not hit the seat belt assem-  
blies.  
WARNING  
Do not touch the pre-tensioner  
seat belt assemblies for several  
minutes after they have been acti-  
vated. When the pre-tensioner seat  
belt mechanism deploys during a  
collision, the pre-tensioner can  
become hot and can burn you.  
CAUTION  
If equipped with rollover sensor  
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 air bag.  
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  
repairer.

Additional seat belt safety  
precautions  
Seat belt use during pregnancy  
The seat belt should always be used  
during pregnancy. The best way to  
protect your unborn child is to protect  
yourself by always wearing the seat  
belt.  
NOTICE  
‡ꢀ Pre-tensioner seat belts may be  
activated in certain frontal or  
side collisions or rollovers (if  
equipped with rollover sensor).  
‡ꢀ 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 visible in the passenger  
compartment. These are normal  
operating conditions and are not  
hazardous.  
Pregnant women should always wear  
a lap-shoulder seat belt. Place the  
shoulder belt across your chest, rout-  
ed 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 rounded part of the belly.  
‡ꢀ Although it is non-toxic, the fine  
dust may cause skin irritation  
and should not be breathed for  
prolonged periods. Wash all  
exposed skin areas thoroughly  
after an accident in which the  
pre-tensioner seat belts were  
activated.  
WARNING  
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.  
3-26  
03  
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 available lap/shoulder belts. A  
seat belt should lie across the upper  
thighs and be snug across the shoul-  
der 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.  
Infant and small children  
Most countries have child restraint  
laws which require children to travel  
in approved child restraint devices,  
including booster seats. The age at  
which seat belts can be used instead  
of child restraints differs among coun-  
tries, 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.  
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.  
WARNING  
ALWAYS properly restrain infants  
andsmallchildreninachildrestraint  
appropriate for the child’s height  
and weight.  
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.  
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 prop-  
erly restrained in the rear seat by a  
child restraint system that meets the  
requirements 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.

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 rec-  
ommendations.  
Seat belt systems should never be  
disassembled or modified. In addi-  
tion, care should be taken to assure  
that seat belts and belt hardware are  
not damaged by seat hinges, doors  
or other abuse.  
One person per belt  
Two people (including children) should  
never attempt to use a single seat belt.  
This could increase the severity of  
injuries in case of an accident.  
Periodic inspection  
All seat belts should be inspected  
periodically 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 danger-  
ous. Even when buckled up, the pro-  
tections of your restraint system (seat  
belts and/or air bags) is greatly  
reduced by reclining your seatback.  
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.  
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.  
When to replace seat belts  
The more the seatback is reclined,  
the greater chance the passenger’s  
hips will slide under the lap belt or the  
passenger’s neck will strike the shoul-  
der belt.  
The entire seat belt assembly or  
assemblies should be replaced if the  
vehicle has been involved in an acci-  
dent. This should be done even if no  
damage is visible. We recommend  
that you consult a HYUNDAI autho-  
rised repairer.  
WARNING  
‡ꢀ NEVER ride with a reclined seat-  
back when the vehicle is moving.  
‡ꢀ Riding with a reclined seatback  
increases your chance of seri-  
ous or fatal injuries in the event  
of a collision or sudden stop.  
‡ꢀ Driver and passengers should  
always sit well back in their  
seats, properly belted, and with  
the seatbacks upright.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM ǣCRSǤ  
Child Restraint Systems must be  
Our recommendation:  
Children always in the rear  
properly placed and installed in the  
rear seat. You must use a commer-  
cially available Child Restraint  
System that meets the requirements  
of the Safety Standards of your coun-  
try.  
WARNING  
Always properly restrain children  
in the rear seats of the vehicle,  
unless the air bag on the front pas-  
senger seat is deactivated.  
Child Restraint Systems are general-  
ly 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.  
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  
inflating air bag resulting in  
SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH.  
Child Restraint System (CRS)  
always in the rear  
Infants and younger children must be  
restrained in an appropriate rear-  
ward-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, sud-  
den stop or sudden manoeuvre.  
According to accident statistics, chil-  
dren 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  
Most countries have Child Restraint  
Systems which require children to  
travel 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 requirements in your  
country, and where you are travelling.  
‡ꢀ Always follow the Child Restraint  
System manufacturer’s instruc-  
tions for installation and use.  
‡ꢀ Always properly restrain your  
child in the Child Restraint  
System.  
‡ꢀ Do not use an infant carrier or a  
child safety seat that “hooks”  
over a seatback, it may not pro-  
vide adequate protection in an  
accident.  
‡ꢀ After an accident, we recom-  
mend a HYUNDAI dealer check  
the Child Restraint System, seat  
belts, ISOFIX anchorages and  
top-tether anchorages.

Selecting a Child Restraint  
System (CRS)  
When selecting a CRS for your child,  
always:  
‡ꢀ Make sure the CRS has a label cer-  
tifying 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.  
CRS09  
Rearward-facing Child Restraint  
System  
‡ꢀ Select a Child Restraint System  
that fits the vehicle seating position  
where it will be used.  
A rearward-facing Child Restraint  
System 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.  
‡ꢀ Read and comply with the warnings  
and instructions for installation and  
use provided with the Child  
Restraint System.  
Child Restraint System types  
All children under the age of one year  
must always ride in a rearward-facing  
Child Restraint System. There are  
different 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.  
There are three main types of Child  
Restraint Systems: rearward-facing  
seats, forward-facing seats, and  
booster 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.

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  
System 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.  
WARNING  
If the vehicle head restraint pre-  
vents proper installation of a Child  
Restraint System, the head  
restraint of the respective seating  
position shall be readjusted or  
entirely removed.  
Once your child outgrows the for-  
ward-facing Child Restraint System,  
your child is ready for a booster seat.  
After selecting  
a
proper Child  
Booster seats  
Restraint System and checking that  
the Child Restraint System fits prop-  
erly in the rear of this vehicle, you are  
ready to install the Child Restraint  
System according to the manufactur-  
er’s instruction. There are three gen-  
eral steps in installing the Child  
Restraint Systems properly:  
A booster seat is Child Restraint  
System 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 stron-  
ger 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 ISOFIX top-tether and/or  
ISOFIX anchorage.  
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 prop-  
erly restrained to minimise the risk of  
injury in an accident, sudden stop or  
sudden manoeuvre.  
3-31  
Safety system  
‡ꢀ Make sure the Child Restraint  
System is firmly secured. After  
installing a Child Restraint System  
to the vehicle, push and pull the  
seat forward 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 pos-  
sible. However, some side-to- side  
movement can be expected.  
ISOFIX anchorage and top-tether  
anchorage (ISOFIX anchorages  
system) for children  
The ISOFIX system holds a Child  
Restraint System during driving and  
in an accident. This system is  
designed to make installation of the  
Child Restraint System easier and  
reduce the possibility of improperly  
installing your Child Restraint System.  
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 System to the rear seats.  
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.  
ISOFIX anchorages are metal bars  
built into the vehicle. There are two  
lower anchors for each ISOFIX seat-  
ing position that will accommodate a  
Child Restraint System with lower  
attachments.  
‡ꢀ 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 man-  
ufacturer’s instructions.  
To use the ISOFIX system in your  
vehicle, you must have a Child  
Restraint System with ISOFIX attach-  
ments. (An ISOFIX Child Restraint  
System may only be installed if it has  
vehicle-specific or universal approval  
in accordance with the requirements  
of ECE-R44 or ECE-R129.)  
CAUTION  
A Child Restraint System in a  
closed vehicle can become very  
hot. To prevent burns, check the  
seating surface and buckles before  
placing your child in the Child  
Restraint System.  
The Child Restraint System manufac-  
turer will provide you with instructions  
on how to use the Child Restraint  
System with its attachments for the  
ISOFIX anchorages.

The vehicles are equipped with a  
Supplemental Air Bag System for the  
driver’s seat and front passenger’s  
seats.  
WARNING  
AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
ALWAYS use seat belts and child  
restraints - every trip, every time,  
everyone! Even with air bags, you  
can be seriously injured or killed in  
a collision if you are improperly  
belted or not wearing your seat  
belt when the air bag inflates.  
The front air bags are designed to  
supplement the three-point seat belts.  
For these air bags to provide protec-  
tion, 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. Air bags are designed to  
supplement seat belts, but do not  
replace them. Also, air bags are not  
designed to deploy in every collision.  
In some accidents, the seat belts are  
the only restraint protecting you.  
NEVER place a child in any child  
restraint or booster seat in the  
front passenger seat. An inflating  
air bag could forcefully strike the  
infant or child causing serious or  
fatal injuries.  
ABC - Always Buckle Children  
under age 13 in the back seat. It is  
the safest 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 possible.  
All occupants should sit upright  
with the seatback in an upright  
position, centred on the seat cush-  
ion 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 posi-  
tion during an accident, the rapidly  
deploying air bag may forcefully  
contact the occupant causing seri-  
ous or fatal injuries.  
You and your passengers should  
never sit or lean unnecessarily  
close to the air bags or lean against  
the door or centre console.  
Move your seat as far back as pos-  
sible from front air bags, whilst  
still maintaining control of the  
vehicle.

than that offered by the seat belt  
alone.  
‡ꢀ Do not place any objects between  
the door and the seat. They may  
become dangerous projectiles if  
the side air bag inflates.  
The side air bags are designed to  
deploy only during certain side impact  
collisions, depending on the crash  
severity.  
‡ꢀ Do not install any accessories on  
the side or near the side air bags.  
For vehicles equipped with a rollover  
sensor the side and/or curtain air

3-47  
Safety system  
During a frontal collision, sensors will  
detect the vehicle’s deceleration. If  
the rate of deceleration is high  
enough, the control unit will inflate the  
front air bags, at the time and with the  
force needed.  
SRS warning light  
The SRS (Supplement Restraint  
System) air bag warning light on the  
instrument panel displays the air bag  
symbol depicted in the illustration.  
The system checks the air bag elec-  
trical system for malfunctions. The  
light indicates that there is a potential  
problem with your air bag system,  
which could include your side and/or  
curtain air bags used for rollover pro-  
tection (if equipped with rollover sen-  
sor).  
The front air bags help protect the  
driver and front passenger by  
responding to frontal impacts in which  
seat belts alone cannot provide ade-  
quate restraint. When needed, the  
side air bags help provide protection  
in the event of a side impact or roll-  
over by supporting the side upper  
body area.  
‡ꢀ Air bags are activated (able to  
inflate if necessary) only when the  
ignition switch is in the ON position.  
‡ꢀ Air bags inflate in the event of cer-  
tain frontal or side collisions to help  
protect the occupants from serious  
physical injury.  
WARNING  
If your SRS malfunctions, the air  
bag may not inflate properly dur-  
ing an accident increasing the risk  
of serious injury or death.  
‡ꢀ Generally, air bags are designed to  
inflate based upon the severity of a  
collision it’s direction etc. These  
two factors determine whether the  
sensors produce an electronic  
deployment/inflation signal.  
If any of the following conditions  
occur, your SRS is malfunction-  
ing:  
‡ꢀ The light does not turn on for  
approximately six seconds when  
the ignition switch is in the ON  
position.  
‡ꢀ The front air bags will completely  
inflate and deflate in an instant. It is  
virtually impossible for you to see  
the air bags inflate during an acci-  
dent. It is much more likely that you  
will simply see the deflated air bags  
hanging out of their storage com-  
partments after the collision.  
‡ꢀ The light stays on after illuminat-  
ing for approximately six sec-  
onds.  
‡ꢀ The light comes on whilst the  
vehicle 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.

03  
Driver's front air bag (1)  
„
‡ꢀ In addition to inflating in serious  
side collisions, vehicles equipped  
with a rollover sensor, side and/or  
curtain air bags will inflate if the  
sensing system detects a rollover.  
When a rollover is detected, cur-  
tain air bags 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  
When the SRSCM detects a suffi-  
ciently severe impact to the front of  
the vehicle, it will automatically deploy  
the front air bags.  
‡ꢀ To help provide protection, the air  
bags must inflate rapidly. The speed  
of air bag inflation is a consequence  
of extremely short time in which to  
inflate the air bag between the  
occupant and the vehicle structures  
before the occupant impacts those  
structures. This speed of inflation  
reduces the risk of serious or life-  
threatening injuries and is thus a  
necessary part of air bag design.  
Driver's front air bag (2)  
„
However, the rapid air bag inflation  
can also cause injuries which can  
include facial abrasions, bruises  
and broken bones because the  
inflation speed also causes the air  
bags to expand with a great deal of  
force.  
OIK037082R  
Upon deployment, tear seams mold-  
ed directly into the pad covers will  
separate under pressure from the  
expansion of the air bags. Further  
opening of the covers allows full infla-  
tion of the air bags.  
‡ꢀ There are even circumstances  
under which contact with the air  
bag can cause fatal injuries, espe-  
cially if the occupant is positioned  
excessively close to the air bag.  
A fully inflated air bag, in combination  
with a properly worn seat belt, slows  
the driver’s or the front passenger’s  
forward motion, reducing the risk of  
head and chest injury.  
You can take steps to reduce the risk  
of being injured by an inflating air  
bag. The greatest risk is sitting too  
close to the air bag. An air bag needs  
space to inflate. It is recommended  
that drivers sit as far as possible  
between the center of the steering  
wheel and the chest whilst still main-  
taining control of the vehicle.

What to expect after an air bag  
inflates  
After a frontal or side air bag inflates,  
it will deflate very quickly. Air bag  
inflation will not prevent the driver  
from seeing out of the windscreen or  
being able to steer. Curtain air bags  
may remain partially inflated for some  
time after they deploy.  
OIK037083R  
Passenger’s front air bag  
„
WARNING  
After an air bag inflates, take the  
following 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 air bag.  
‡ꢀ Do not touch the air bag storage  
area’s  
OIK037084R  
internal  
components  
immediately after an air bag has  
inflated. The parts that come into  
contact with an inflating air bag  
may be very hot.  
After complete inflation, the air bag  
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.  
WARNING  
‡ꢀ We recommend that a HYUNDAI  
authorised repairer replace the  
air bag immediately after deploy-  
ment. Air bags are designed to  
be used only once.  
To prevent objects from becoming  
dangerous projectiles when the  
passenger’s air bag inflates:  
‡ꢀ Do not install or place any  
objects (drink holder, CD holder,  
stickers, etc.) on the front pas-  
senger’s panel above the glove  
box where the passenger’s air  
bag is located.  
‡ꢀ Do not install a container of liq-  
uid air freshener near the instru-  
ment cluster or on the instru-  
ment panel surface.

Noise and smoke from inflating  
air bag  
Do not install a child restraint on  
the front passenger seat  
When the air bags inflate, they make  
a loud noise and may produce smoke  
and powder in the air inside of the  
vehicle. This is normal and is a result  
of the ignition of the air bag inflator.  
After the air bag inflates, you may feel  
substantial discomfort in breathing  
because of the contact of your chest  
with both the seat belt and the air  
bag, as well as from breathing the  
smoke and powder. The powder may  
aggravate asthma for some people. If  
you experience breathing problems  
after an air bag deployment, seek  
medical attention immediately.  
OHI038169L  
Never install a child restraint in the front  
passenger’s seat. An inflating air bag  
can forcefully strike a child or restraint  
resulting in serious or fatal injury.  
Though the smoke and powder are  
nontoxic, they may cause irritation to

water immediately and seek medical  
attention if the symptoms persist.  
WARNING  
‡ꢀ Extreme hazard! Do not use a  
rearward facing child restraint  
on a seat protected by an air bag  
in front of it!  
‡ꢀ NEVER use a rearward facing  
child restraint on a seat protect-  
ed 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 air bag inflates,  
it would cause serious or fatal  
injuries.

Air bag collision sensors  
Why didn’t my air bag go off in  
a collision?  
There are certain types of accidents  
in which the air bag would not be  
expected to provide additional pro-  
tection. These include rear impacts,  
second or third collisions in multiple  
impact accidents, as well as low  
speed impacts. Damage to the vehi-

whether or not an air bag should have  
inflated.  
‡ꢀ Do not perform maintenance on  
or around the air bag sensors. If  
the location or angle of the sen-  
sors is altered, the air bags may  
deploy when they should not or  
may not deploy when they  
should.  
‡ꢀ Do not install bumper guards or  
replace the bumper with a non-  
genuine part. This may adversely  
affect the collision and air bag  
deployment performance.  
‡ꢀ Place the ignition switch to the  
LOCK/OFF or ACC position,  
when the vehicle is being towed  
to prevent inadvertent air bag  
deployment.  
‡ꢀ We recommend that all air bag  
repairs are conducted by  
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

Air bag inflation conditions  
OAC3039028R  
OAC3039027TU  
Front air bags  
Front air bags are designed to inflate  
in a frontal collision depending on  
the severity of impact of the front col-  
lision.  
OAC3039029R  
Side and curtain air bags  
Sideandcurtainairbagsaredesigned  
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 air  
bags are designed to inflate only in  
frontal collisions, they also may inflate  
in other types of collisions if the front  
impact sensors detect a sufficient  
impact. Side and curtain air bags are  
designed to inflate only in side impact  
collisions or rollover situations (if  
equipped with rollover sensor), but  
they may inflate in other collisions if  
the side impact sensors detect a suf-  
ficient impact. If the vehicle chassis is  
impacted by bumps or objects on unim-  
proved roads, the air bags may deploy.  
Drive carefully on unimproved roads or  
on surfaces not designed for vehicle  
traffic to prevent unintended air bag  
deployment.

Air bag non-inflation conditions  
OAC3039028R  
OAC3039030TU  
Front air bags may not inflate in side  
impact collisions, because occupants  
move in the direction of the collision,  
and thus in side impacts, front air bag  
deployment would not provide addi-  
tional occupant protection.  
In certain low-speed collisions the air  
bags may not deploy. The air bags  
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 air bags  
may inflate depending on the severity  
of impact.  
OAC3039031TU  
Front air bags are not designed to  
inflate in rear collisions, because  
occupants are moved backward by  
the force of the impact. In this case,  
inflated air bags would not provide  
any additional benefit.  
OBH038060  
In an angled collision, the force of  
impact may direct the occupants in a  
direction where the air bags would  
not be able to provide any additional  
benefit, and thus the sensors may not  
deploy any air bags.

Information  
i
‡ 9ehicles equipped with rollover sen-  
sor  
7he side and curtain air bags may  
inflate in a rollover situation, when it  
is detected by the rollover sensor.  
‡ 9ehicles not equipped with rollover  
sensor  
7he side and/or curtain air bags 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 air bags.  
OAC3039033TU  
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. Air  
bags may not inflate in this “under-  
ride” situation because deceleration  
forces that are detected by sensors  
may be significantly reduced by such  
“underride” collisions.  
OAC3039034TU  
Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle  
collides with objects such as utility  
poles or trees, where the point of  
impact is concentrated and the colli-  
sion energy is absorbed by the vehi-  
cle structure.  
OHI038166  
Front air bags may not inflate in roll-  
over accidents because front air bag  
deployment would not provide addi-  
tional 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  
air bag warning light does not illumi-  
nate when the ignition switch is in the  
ON position, or continuously remains  
on, we recommend that the system  
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  
covers or modifications to the  
body structure.  
be immediately inspected by  
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.  
a
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 per-  
formed by a HYUNDAI authorised  
repairer. Improper handling of the  
SRS system may result in serious  
personal injury.  
‡ꢀ Do not place objects over or near  
the air bag modules on the steer-  
ing wheel, instrument panel, and  
the front passenger’s panel  
above the glove box.  
‡ꢀ Clean the air bag pad covers with  
a soft cloth moistened with plain  
water. Solvents or cleaners could  
adversely affect the air bag cov-  
ers and proper deployment of  
the system.  
‡ꢀ We recommend that inflated air  
bags be replaced by a HYUNDAI  
authorised repairer.  
‡ꢀ If components of the air bag sys-  
tem must be discarded, or if the  
vehicle must be scrapped, cer-  
tain safety precautions must be  
observed. Consult a HYUNDAI  
authorised repairer for the nec-  
essary information. Failure to  
follow these precautions could  
increase the risk of personal  
injury.

Additional safety precautions  
Air bag warning labels  
(if equipped)  
Passengers should not move out  
of or change seats whilst the vehi-  
cle is moving. A passenger who is  
not wearing a seat belt during a crash  
or emergency stop can be thrown  
against the inside of the vehicle,  
against other occupants, or be eject-  
ed from the vehicle.  
Do not use any accessories on  
seat belts. Devices claiming to  
improve occupant comfort or reposi-  
tion the seat belt can reduce the pro-  
tection provided by the seat belt and  
increase the chance of serious injury  
in a crash  
OAC3039035R  
Air bag warning labels are attached  
to alert the driver and passengers of  
potential risks of the air bag system.  
Do not modify the front seats.  
Be sure to read all of the information  
about the air bags that are installed  
on your vehicle in this Owner’s  
Manual.  
Modification of the front seats could  
interfere with the operation of the  
supplemental restraint system sens-  
ing components or side air bags.  
Do not place items under the front  
seats. Placing items under the front  
seats could interfere with the opera-  
tion of the supplemental restraint sys-  
tem sensing components and wiring  
harnesses.  
Do not cause impact to the doors.  
Impact to the doors when the ignition  
switch is in the ON position may  
cause the air bags to inflate.  
Adding equipment to or modify-  
ing your air bag equipped vehi-  
cle  
If you modify your vehicle by chang-  
ing your vehicle’s frame, bumper sys-  
tem, front end or side sheet metal or  
ride height, this may affect the opera-  
tion of your vehicle’s air bag system.
