IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

You will find many safety precautions

Driver distraction

and recommendations throughout this

section, and throughout this manual.

The safety precautions in this section are

among the most important.

Driver distraction presents a serious and

potentially deadly danger, especially 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

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:

śꢀ ALWAYS set up your mobile devices

(i.e., MP3 players, phones, navigation

units, etc.) when your vehicle is parked

or safely stopped.

śꢀ ONLY use your mobile device when

allowed by laws and conditions permit

safe use.

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.

śꢀ 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.

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.

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 Systems.

Larger children should use a booster

seat with the lap/shoulder belt until they

can use the seat belt properly without a

booster seat.

Air bag hazards

Whilst air bags 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 air bag. 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 posted.

Keep your vehicle in safe

condition

Having a tyre blowout or a mechanical

failure can be extremely hazardous. 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 for the safety

of the driver and passengers, along

with seat belts and air bags when 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 operate properly.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury or

death from an inflating air bag, take the

following precautions:

śꢀ Adjust the driver’s seat as far to the

rear as possible whilst maintaining

the ability to maintain full control of

the vehicle.

śꢀ Adjust the front passenger seat as far

to the rear as possible.

śꢀ Hold the steering wheel by the rim

with hands at the 9 o’clock and 3

o’clock positions to minimise the risk

of injuries to your hands and arms.

śꢀ NEVER place anything or anyone

between the air bag.

śꢀ Do not allow the front passenger to

place feet or legs on the dashboard

to minimise the risk of leg injuries.

3-5

Safety system

Seat belts

Always fasten your seat belt before

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.

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 instrument panel.

WARNING

Take the following precautions when

WARNING

Take the following precautions when

adjusting your seat belt:

śꢀ NEVER use one seat belt for more

than one occupant.

śꢀ Always position the seatback upright

with the lap portion of the seat belt

snug and low across the hips.

śꢀ NEVER allow children or small infants

to ride in a passenger’s lap.

śꢀ Do not route the seat belt across your

neck, across sharp edges, or reroute

the shoulder strap away from your

body.

adjusting your seat:

śꢀ NEVER attempt to adjust the seat

whilst the vehicle is moving. The

seat could respond with unexpected

movement and may cause loss

of vehicle control resulting in an

accident.

śꢀ 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.

śꢀ Do not allow anything to interfere

with the normal position and proper

locking of the seatback.

śꢀ 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.

śꢀ Do not allow the seat belt to become

caught or jammed.

śꢀ 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 edges of the seat

mechanism.

03

śꢀ If there are occupants in the rear

seats, be careful whilst adjusting the

front seat position.

Forward and rearward adjustment

śꢀ 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:

śꢀ Do not adjust your seat whilst

wearing your seat belt. Moving the

seat cushion forward may cause

strong pressure on your abdomen.

śꢀ Do not allow your hands or fingers to

get caught in the seat mechanisms

whilst the seat is moving.

OBC3030002R

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.

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 air bags) is greatly reduced by

reclining your seatback.

WARNING

NEVER ride with a reclined seatback

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.

OBC3030003R

To recline the seatback:

1. Lean forward slightly and lift up the

seatback lever.

Drivers and passengers should ALWAYS

sit well back in their seats, properly

belted, and with the seatbacks upright.

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.)

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 twined

around 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 shoulder

belt.

To change the height of the seat

cushion:

CAUTION

śꢀ Push down the lever several times, to

lower the seat cushion.

Do not put heavy or sharp objects in the

seatback pockets. In an accident they

could come loose from the pocket and

the seat cushion.

3-9

Safety system

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

śꢀ 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 accident or sudden stop.

OAC3039006TU

śꢀ 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.

OAC3039007TU

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).

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 seatback

firmly until it clicks into place. Make sure

the seatback is locked in place.

When returning the rear seatbacks to

the upright position, remember to return

the rear shoulder belts to their proper

position.

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.

WARNING

When you return the rear seatback to

its upright position after being folded

down:

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.

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.

steps may allow the vehicle to move if

the shift lever is inadvertently moved to

another position.

NOTICE

śꢀ When returning the rear seatbacks

to the upright position, remember to

return the rear shoulder belts to their

proper position.

śꢀ Routing the seat belt webbing

[1] : Retractor pre-tensioner seat belt

Your vehicle is equipped with driver’s

and front passenger’s Pre-tensioner

Seat Belts (Retractor Pre-tensioner). The

purpose of the pre-tensioner is to make

sure the seat belts fit tightly against the

occupant’s body in certain frontal or

side collision(s). The pre-tensioner seat

belts may be activated in crashes where

the frontal or side collision(s) is severe

enough, together with the air bags.

Information

i

If you are not able to pull out the safety

belt from the retractor, firmly pull the

belt out and release it. After release, you

will be able to pull the belt out smoothly.

When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if

the occupant tries to lean forward too

quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock

into position.

In certain frontal collisions, the pre-

tensioner will activate and pull the seat

belt into tighter contact against the

occupant’s body.

If the system senses excessive tension

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

(if equipped with load limiter).

CAUTION

WARNING

Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat

belt assemblies for several minutes

after they have been activated. When

the pre-tensioner seat belt mechanism

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, if the vehicle is equipped with

a side or curtain air bag.

WARNING

śꢀ Always wear your seat belt and sit

properly in your seat.

CAUTION

śꢀ 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.

śꢀ Do not place anything near the

buckle. This may adversely affect

the buckle and cause it to function

improperly.

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

placed in the rearmost position.

WARNING

ALWAYS properly restrain infants and

small children in a Child Restraint System

appropriate for the child’s height and

weight.

To reduce the risk of serious injury or

death to a child and other passengers,

NEVER hold a child in your lap or arms

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

recommendations.

Seat belt systems should never be

disassembled or modified. In addition,

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 dangerous.

Even when buckled up, the protections

of your restraint system (seat belts

and/or air bags) is greatly reduced by

reclining your seatback.

Seat belts must be snug against your

hips and chest to work properly. During

an accident, you could be twined with

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

vehicle has been involved in an accident.

This should be done even if no damage

is visible. We recommend that you

consult a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

WARNING

śꢀ NEVER ride with a reclined seatback

when the vehicle is moving.

śꢀ Riding with a reclined seatback

increases your chance of serious

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.

ISOFIX anchorages are metal bars built

into the vehicle. There are two lower

anchors for each ISOFIX seating position

that will accommodate a Child Restraint

System with lower attachments.

To use the ISOFIX system in your

vehicle, you must have a Child Restraint

System with ISOFIX attachments. (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.)

AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

ALWAYS use seat belts and Child

Restraint Systems - 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 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. 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 Systems 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 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 air bag may forcefully

contact the occupant causing serious

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 possible

from front air bags, whilst still

maintaining control of the vehicle.

Side air bags (if equipped)

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury or

death from an inflating side air bag,

take the following precautions:

śꢀ Seat belts must be worn at all times

to help keep occupants positioned

properly.

śꢀ 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

śꢀ Do not use any accessory seat covers.

This could reduce or prevent the

effectiveness of the system.

śꢀ Do not place any objects over the

air bag or between the air bag and

yourself. Also, do not attach any

objects around the area the air bag

inflates such as the door, side door

glass, front and rear pillar.

śꢀ Do not place any objects between the

door and the seat. They may become

dangerous projectiles if the side air

bag inflates.

śꢀ Do not install any accessories on the

side or near the side air bags.

śꢀ Do not put any objects between the

side air bag label and seat cushion. It

could cause harm if the vehicle is in a

crash severe enough to cause the air

bags to deploy.

śꢀ Do not cause impact to the doors

when the ignition switch is in the ON

position or this may cause the side air

bags to inflate.

OAC3039020R

Your vehicle is equipped with a side air

bag in each front seat.

The purpose of the air bag is to provide

the vehicle’s driver and the front

passenger with additional protection

than that offered by the seat belt alone.

The side air bags are designed to

deploy only during certain side impact

collisions, depending on the crash

severity.

The side air bags are not designed to

deploy in all side impact.

śꢀ If the seat or seat cover is damaged,

we recommend that the system be

serviced by a HYUNDAI authorised

repairer.

Curtain air bags (if equipped)

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury or

death from an inflating curtain air bags,

take the following precautions:

śꢀ All seat occupants must wear

seat belts at all times to help keep

occupants positioned properly.

śꢀ Properly secure child restraints as far

away from the door as possible.

śꢀ Do not place any objects over the air

bag. Also, do not attach any objects

around the area the air bag inflates

such as the door, side door glass,

front and rear pillar, roof side rail.

Safety system

How does the air bags system

operate?

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 electrical system for

malfunctions. The light indicates that

there is a potential problem with your air

bag system.

OBC3030023R

WARNING

The SRS consists of the following

components:

(1) Driver’s front air bag module

(2) Passenger’s front air bag module*

(3) Side air bag modules*

(4) Curtain air bag modules*

(5) Retractor pre-tensioner assemblies*

(6) Air bag warning light

(7) SRS control module (SRSCM)

(8) Front impact sensors

(9) Side impact sensors*

(10) Side pressure sensors*

(11) Passenger’s front air bag OFF

indicator (front passenger’s seat

only) *

(12) Passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF

switch *

If your SRS malfunctions, the air bag

may not inflate properly during an

accident increasing the risk of serious

injury or death.

If any of the following conditions occur,

your SRS is malfunctioning:

śꢀ The light does not turn on for

approximately six seconds when the

ignition switch is in the ON position.

śꢀ The light stays on after illuminating

for approximately six seconds.

śꢀ The light comes on whilst the vehicle

is in motion.

śꢀ 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.

* : if equipped

The SRSCM continually monitors SRS

components whilst the ignition switch

is in the ON position to determine if a

crash impact is severe enough to require

air bag deployment or pre-tensioner seat

belt deployment.

3-48

03

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.

The front air bags 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 air bags help provide

protection in the event of a side impact.

śꢀ 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.

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.

śꢀ There are even circumstances under

which contact with the air bag can

cause fatal injuries, especially if the

occupant is positioned excessively

close to the air bag.

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 centre of the

steering wheel and the chest whilst still

maintaining control of the vehicle.

śꢀ Air bags are activated (able to inflate

if necessary) only when the ignition

switch is in the ON position.

śꢀ Air bags inflate in the event of certain

frontal or side collisions to help

protect the occupants from serious

physical injury.

śꢀ Generally, air bags are designed to

inflate based upon the severity of a

collision and it’s direction etc. These

two factors determine whether

the sensors produce an electronic

deployment/inflation signal.

śꢀ 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 accident. It is

much more likely that you will simply

see the deflated air bags hanging out

of their storage compartments after

the collision.

After complete inflation, the air bag

immediately starts deflating, enabling

the driver to maintain forward visibility

OIK037082R

Upon deployment, tear seams molded

directly into the pad covers will separate

under pressure from the expansion of

the air bags. Further opening of the

covers allows full inflation of the air

bags.

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.

WARNING

To prevent objects from becoming

dangerous projectiles when the

passenger’s air bag inflates:

śꢀ Do not install or place any objects

(drink holder, CD holder, stickers,

etc.) on the front passenger’s panel

above the glove box where the

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.

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.

WARNING

After an air bag inflates, take the

following precautions:

śꢀ 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.

śꢀ Do not touch the air bag storage

area’s internal components

immediately after an air bag has

inflated. The parts that come into

contact with an inflating air bag may

be very hot.

śꢀ Always wash exposed skin areas

thoroughly with cold water and mild

soap.

śꢀ We recommend that a HYUNDAI

authorised repairer replace the air

bag immediately after deployment.

Air bags are designed to be used only

once.

Safety system

Do not install a Child Restraint

System on the front passenger

seat

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 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 energy

absorption, and is not an indicator of

whether or not an air bag should have

inflated.

Air bag collision sensors

OHI038169L

Never install a Child Restraint System in

the front passenger’s seat. An inflating air

bag can forcefully strike a child or restraint

resulting in serious or fatal injury.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of an air bag

deploying unexpectedly and causing

serious injury or death:

śꢀ Do not hit or allow any objects to

impact the locations where air bags

or sensors are installed.

śꢀ Do not perform maintenance on or

around the air bag sensors. If the

location or angle of the sensors is

altered, the air bags may deploy

when they should not or may not

deploy when they should.

śꢀ 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.

WARNING

śꢀ Extreme hazard! Do not use a

śꢀ NEVER use a rearward facing Child

Restraint System on a seat protected

by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it,

DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the

CHILD can occur.

śꢀ Never put a Child Restraint System in

the front passenger’s seat. If the front

passenger air bag inflates, it would

cause serious or fatal injuries.

śꢀ Place the ignition switch to the

LOCK/OFF or ACC position, when the

Front air bags

Front air bags are designed to inflate

in a frontal collision depending on the

severity of impact of the front collision.

OAC3039029R

Side and curtain air bags

Side and curtain air bags 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 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, but

they may inflate in other collisions if the

side impact sensors detect a sufficient

impact. If the vehicle chassis is impacted

by bumps or objects on unimproved

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.

3-54

03

Air bag non-inflation conditions

OBC3030028R

OBC3030029

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

additional occupant protection.

However, side and curtain air bags may

inflate depending on the severity of

impact.

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.

OBC3030030

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.

OGB034038

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.

OBC3030032

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.

OBC3030033

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 collision energy is

absorbed by the vehicle structure.

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 illuminate

when the ignition switch is in the ON

position, or continuously remains on,

we recommend 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 precautions:

śꢀ Do not attempt to modify or

disconnect the SRS components or

wiring, including the addition of any

kind of badges to the pad covers or

modifications to the body structure.

śꢀ Do not place objects over or near

the air bag modules on the steering

wheel, instrument panel, and the

front passenger’s panel above the

glove box.

śꢀ Clean the air bag pad covers with

a soft cloth moistened with plain

water. Solvents or cleaners could

adversely affect the air bag covers

and proper deployment of the

system.

śꢀ We recommend that inflated air bags

be replaced by a HYUNDAI authorised

repairer.

śꢀ If components of the air bag system

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 for

the necessary information. Failure

to follow these precautions could

increase the risk of personal injury.

Passengers should not move out of

or change seats whilst the vehicle 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 ejected from the vehicle.

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

Do not modify the front seats.

Air bag warning labels are attached to

alert the passengers of potential risks of

the air bag system.

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 sensing

components or side air bags.

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

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 modifying

your air bag 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 air bag system.
