WARNING - Loose objects

WARNING - Driver respon-

sibility for front seat pas-

senger

WARNING - Driver’s seat

• Never attempt to adjust seat

while the vehicle is moving. This

could result in loss of control,

and an accident causing death,

serious injury, or property dam-

age.

Loose objects in the driver’s foot

area could interfere with the opera-

tion of the foot pedals, possibly

causing an accident. Do not place

anything under the front seats.

Riding in a vehicle with a front seat-

back reclined could lead to serious

or fatal injury in an accident. If a

front seat is reclined during an

accident, the occupant’s hips may

slide under the lap portion of the

seat belt applying great force to the

unprotected abdomen. Serious or

fatal internal injuries could result.

The driver must advise the front

passenger to keep the seatback in

an upright position whenever the

vehicle is in motion.

• Do not allow anything to interfere

with the normal position of the

seatback. Storing items against a

seatback or in any other way

interfering with proper locking of

a seatback could result in serious

or fatal injury in a sudden stop or

collision.

WARNING - Uprighting

seat

When you return the seatback to its

upright position, hold the seatback

and return it slowly and be sure

there are no other occupants

around the seat. If the seatback is

returned without being held and

controlled, the back of the seat

could spring forward resulting in

accidental injury to a person struck

by the seatback.

• Always drive and ride with your

seatback upright and the lap por-

tion of the seat belt snug and low

across the hips. This is the best

position to protect you in case of

an accident.

• In order to avoid unnecessary

and perhaps severe air bag

injuries, always sit as far back as

possible from the steering wheel

while maintaining comfortable

control of the vehicle. It is recom-

mended that your chest is at least

250 mm (10 inches) away from

the steering wheel.

Headrest

WARNING

The driver's and front passenger's seats

are equipped with a headrest for the

occupant's safety and comfort.

• For maximum effectiveness in

case of an accident, the headrest

should be adjusted so the middle

of the headrest is at the same

height of the center of gravity of

an occupant's head. Generally,

the center of gravity of most peo-

ple's head is similar with the

height of the top of their eyes.

Also, adjust the headrest as close

to your head as possible. For this

reason, the use of a cushion that

holds the body away from the

seatback is not recommended.

The headrest not only provides comfort

for the driver and front passenger, but

also helps to protect the head and neck

in the event of a collision.

C010103AUN

Seat cushion height (for driver’s seat)

(if equipped)

• Do not operate the vehicle with

the headrests removed as severe

injury to the occupants may

occur in the event of an accident.

Headrests may provide protec-

tion against neck injuries when

properly adjusted.

To change the height of the seat cushion,

push the lever that is located on the out-

side of the seat cushion upwards or

downwards.

• To lower the seat cushion, push down

the lever several times.

• To raise the seat cushion, pull up the

lever several times.

• Do not adjust the headrest posi-

tion of the driver's seat while the

vehicle is in motion.

CAUTION

Folding the rear seat

• Make sure the engine is off, the

transaxle is in P and the parking

brake is applied whenever load-

ing or unloading cargo. Vehicle

may move if shift lever is inadver-

tently moved to another position.

The rear seatbacks (or cushions) may be

folded to facilitate carrying long items or

to increase the luggage capacity of the

vehicle.

WARNING

• Be careful when loading cargo

through the rear passenger seats

to prevent damage to the vehicle

interior.

The purpose of the fold-down rear

seatbacks (or cushions) is to allow

you to carry longer objects than

could otherwise be accommodated.

OFD037007

• When cargo is loaded through the

rear passenger seats, ensure the

cargo is properly secured to pre-

vent it from moving while driving.

Unsecured cargo in the passen-

ger compartment can cause dam-

age to the vehicle or injury to it’s

occupants.

Never allow passengers to sit on

top of the folded down seatback

while the car is moving as 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. Objects carried on the

folded down seatback should not

extend higher than the top of the

front seats. This could allow cargo

to slide forward and cause injury or

damage during sudden stops.

WARNING

WARNING - Cargo

When you return the rear seatback

to its upright position after being

folded down:

Cargo should always be secured to

prevent it from being thrown about

the vehicle in a collision and caus-

ing injury to the vehicle occupants.

Special care should be taken of

objects placed in the rear seats,

since those may hit the front seat

occupants in a frontal 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 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.

SEAT BELTS

C020100AUN

(Continued)

Seat belt restraint system

• Avoid wearing twisted seat belts.

A twisted belt can't do its job as

well. In a collision, it could even

cut into you. Be sure the belt

webbing is straight and not twist-

ed.

Care should be taken to avoid con-

tamination of the webbing with pol-

ishes, oils and chemicals, and par-

ticularly battery acid. Cleaning may

safely be carried out using mild

soap and water. The belt should be

replaced if webbing becomes

frayed, contaminated or damaged.

It is essential to replace the entire

assembly after it has been worn in

a severe impact even if damage to

the assembly is not obvious. Belts

should not be worn with straps

twisted. Each seat belt assembly

must only be used by one occu-

pant; it is dangerous to put a belt

around a child being carried on the

occupant's lap.

WARNING

• For maximum restraint system

protection, the seat belts must

always be used whenever the car

is moving.

• Be careful not to damage the belt

webbing or hardware. If the belt

webbing or hardware is dam-

aged, replace it.

• Seat belts are most effective

when seatbacks are in the

upright position.

• Children age 12 and younger

properly

must

always

be

restrained in the rear seat. Never

allow children to ride in the front

passenger seat. If a child over 12

must be seated in the front seat,

he/she must be properly belted

and the seat should be moved as

far back as possible.

WARNING

Seat belts are designed to bear

upon the bony structure of the

body, and should be worn low

across the front of the pelvis or the

pelvis, chest and shoulders, as

applicable; wearing the lap section

of the belt across the abdominal

area must be avoided.

• Never wear the shoulder belt

under your arm or behind your

back. An improperly positioned

shoulder belt can cause serious

injuries in a crash. The shoulder

belt should be positioned midway

over your shoulder across your

collarbone.

WARNING

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.

Seat belts should be adjusted as

firmly as possible, consistent with

comfort, to provide the protection

for which they have been designed.

A slack belt will greatly reduce the

protection afforded to the wearer.

automatically adjusts to the proper length

only after the lap belt is adjusted manu-

ally so that it fits snugly around your hips.

If you lean forward in a slow, easy

motion, the belt will extend and let you

move around. 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.

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 seat belt

tension on the driver or passenger's seat

belt when the pre-tensioner activates, the

load limiter inside the pre-tensioner will

release some of the pressure on the

affected seat belt. (if equipped)

ger's pre-tensioner seat belts will be

activated in certain frontal collisions.

The pre-tensioner seat belts can be

activated where the frontal collision is

severe enough, together with the air

bags.

The pre-tensioners will not be activat-

ed if the seat belts are not being worn

at the time of the collision.

ꢀ 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 oper-

ating conditions and are not haz-

ardous.

1. The seatbelt must be working

correctly and adjusted to the

proper position. Please read and

follow all of the important infor-

mation and precautions about

your vehicle’s occupant safety

features – including seat belts

and air bags – that are provided

• Improper handling of the pre-ten-

sioner seat belt assemblies, and

failure to heed the warnings not

to strike, modify, inspect, replace,

service or repair the pre-tension-

er seat belt assemblies may lead

to improper operation or inadver-

tent activation and serious injury.

• Pre-tensioners are designed to

operate only one time. After acti-

vation, pre-tensioner seat belts

must be replaced. All seat belts,

of any type, should always be

replaced after they have been

worn during a collision.

• The pre-tensioner seat belt

assembly mechanisms become

hot during activation. Do not

touch the pre-tensioner seat belt

assemblies for several minutes

after they have been activated.

• Always wear the seat belts when

NOTICE

Infant or small child

Seat belt precautions

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

Standards 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 system” in this

section.

You should be aware of the specific

requirements in your country. Child

and/or infant seats must be properly

placed and installed in the rear seat. For

more information about the use of these

restraints, refer to “Child restraint sys-

tem” in this section.

WARNING

All occupants of the vehicle must

wear their seat belts at all times.

Seat belts and child restraints

reduce the risk of serious or fatal

injuries for all occupants in the

event of a collision or sudden stop.

Without a seat belt, occupants

could be shifted too close to a

deploying air bag, strike the interior

structure or be thrown from the

vehicle. Properly worn seat belts

greatly reduce these hazards.

WARNING

Every person in your vehicle needs

to be properly restrained at all

times, including infants and chil-

dren. Never hold a child in your

arms or lap when riding in a vehi-

cle. The violent forces created dur-

ing a crash will tear the child from

your arms and throw the child

against the interior. Always use a

child restraint appropriate for your

child's height and weight.

Always follow the precautions

about seat belts, air bags and occu-

pant seat contained in this manual.

If the shoulder belt portion slightly touch-

es the child’s neck or face, try placing the

child closer to the center of the vehicle. If

the shoulder belt still touches their face

or neck they need to be returned to a

child restraint system.

Larger children

Pregnant women

Children who are too large for child

restraint systems should always occupy

the rear seat and use the available

lap/shoulder belts.The lap portion should

be fastened snugly on the hips and as

low as possible. Check belt fit periodical-

ly. 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 in the rear seat. If a larg-

er child (over age 12) must be seated in

the front seat, the child should be secure-

ly restrained by the available lap/shoul-

der belt and the seat should be placed in

the rearmost position. Children age 12

and under should be restrained securely

in the rear seat. NEVER place a child age

12 and under in the front seat. NEVER

place a rear facing child seat in the front

seat of a vehicle.

The use of a seat belt is recommended

for pregnant women to lessen the chance

of injury in an accident. When a seat belt

is used, the lap belt portion should be

placed as low and snugly as possible on

the hips, not across the abdomen. For

specific recommendations, consult a

physician.

WARNING - Shoulder belts

on small children

• Never allow a shoulder belt to be

in contact with a child’s neck or

face while the vehicle is in

motion.

C020303AUN

Injured person

A seat belt should be used when an

injured person is being transported.

When this is necessary, you should con-

sult a physician for recommendations.

• If seat belts are not properly worn

and adjusted on children, there is

a risk of death or serious injury.

C020304AUN

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

Care of seat belts

To reduce the chance of injuries in the

event of an accident and to achieve max-

imum effectiveness of the restraint sys-

tem, all passengers should be sitting up

and the front seats should be in an

upright position when the car is moving. A

seat belt cannot provide proper protection

if the person is lying down in the rear seat

or if the front seat is in a reclined position.

It is recommended that all seat belts be

inspected periodically for wear or dam-

age of any kind. Any damaged parts

should be replaced as soon as possible.

Seat belt systems should never be disas-

sembled 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.

C020402AUN

Keep belts clean and dry

WARNING

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 you return the rear seatback

to its upright position after the rear

seatback was folded down, be care-

ful not to damage the seat belt web-

bing or buckle. Be sure that the

webbing or buckle does not get

caught or pinched in the rear seat.

A seat belt with damaged webbing

or buckle will not be as strong and

could possibly fail during a colli-

sion or sudden stop, resulting in

serious injury.

WARNING

Riding with a reclined seatback

increases your chance of serious

or fatal injuries in the event of a col-

lision or sudden stop. The protec-

tion of your restraint system (seat

belts and air bags) is greatly

reduced by reclining your seat.

Seat belts must be snug against

your hips and chest to work proper-

ly. The more the seatback is

reclined, the greater the chance

that an occupant's hips will slide

under the lap belt causing serious

internal injuries or the occupant's

neck could strike the shoulder belt.

Drivers and passengers should

always sit well back in their seats,

properly belted, and with the seat-

backs upright.

C020403AFD

When to replace seat belts

Entire in-use seat belt assembly or

assemblies should be replaced if the

vehicle has been involved in an accident.

This should be done even if no damage

is visible. Additional questions concern-

ing seat belt operation should be directed

to an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM

C030000BUN

Children riding in the car should sit in the

rear seat and must always be properly

restrained to minimize the risk of injury in

an accident, sudden stop or sudden

maneuver. According to accident statis-

tics, children are safer when properly

restrained in the rear seats than in the

front seat. Larger children not in a child

restraint should use one of the seat belts

provided.

WARNING

To reduce the chance or serious or

fatal injuries:

• A child restraint system must be

placed in the rear seat. Never

install a child or infant seat on the

front passenger's seat. Should an

accident occur and cause the

passenger side air bag to deploy,

it could severely injure or kill an

infant or child seated in an infant

or child seat. Thus only use a

child restraint in the rear seat of

your vehicle.

• Children of all ages are safer

when restrained in the rear seat.

A child riding in the front passen-

ger seat can be forcefully struck

by an inflating air bag resulting in

serious or fatal injuries.

• Always follow the instructions for

installation and use of the child

restraint maker.

You should be aware of the specific

requirements in your country. Child and/or

infant safety seats must be properly

placed and installed in the rear seat. You

must use a commercially available child

restraint system that meets the require-

ments of the Safety Standards of your

country. Child restraint systems are

designed to be secured in vehicle seats by

lap belts or the lap belt portion of a

lap/shoulder belt, or by a tether anchor

and/or ISOFIX anchors (if equipped).

• A seat belt or child restraint sys-

tem can become very hot if it is

left in a closed vehicle on a sunny

day, even if the outside tempera-

ture does not feel hot. Be sure to

check the seat cover and buckles

before placing a child there.

• Always make sure the child seat

is secured properly in the car and

your child is securely restrained

in the child seat.

• Never hold a child in your arms or

lap when riding in a vehicle. The

violent forces created during a

crash will tear the child from your

arms and throw the child against

the car’s interior.

• When the child restraint system

is not in use, store it in the lug-

gage area or fasten it with a seat

belt so that it will not be thrown

forward in the case of a sudden

stop or an accident.

Children could be injured or killed in a

crash if their restraints are not properly

secured. For small children and babies, a

child seat or infant seat must be used.

Before buying a particular child restraint

system, make sure it fits your car seat

and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow

all the instructions provided by the man-

ufacturer when installing the child

restraint system.

• Never put a seat belt over your-

self and a child. During a crash,

the belt could press deep into the

child causing serious internal

injuries.

• Children may be seriously injured

or killed by an inflating air bag.

All children, even those too large

for child restraints, must ride in

the rear seat.

(Continued)

• Never leave children unattended

in a vehicle – not even for a short

time. The car can heat up very

quickly, resulting in serious

injuries to children inside. Even

very young children may inadver-

tently cause the vehicle to move,

entangle themselves in the win-

dows, or lock themselves or oth-

ers inside the vehicle.

• Never use an infant carrier or a

child safety seat that "hooks"

over a seatback, it may not pro-

vide adequate security in an acci-

dent.

• Seat belts can become very hot,

especially when the car is parked

in direct sunlight. Always check

seat belt buckles before fasten-

ing them over a child.

CRS09

Forward-facing child restraint system

• Never allow two children, or any

two persons, to use the same

seat belt.

• Children often squirm and repo-

sition themselves improperly.

Never let a child ride with the

shoulder belt under their arm or

behind their back. Always prop-

erly position and secure children

in rear seat.

HNF1008

C030100AFD

• Never allow a child to stand-up or

kneel on the seat or floorboard of

a moving vehicle. During a colli-

sion or sudden stop, the child

can be violently thrown against

the vehicles interior, resulting in

serious injury.

Using a child restraint system

For small children and babies, the use of

a child seat or infant seat is required.This

child seat or infant seat should be of

appropriate size for the child and should

be installed in accordance with the man-

ufacturer's instructions. For safety rea-

sons, we recommend that the child

restraint system be used in the rear

seats.

On each side of the rear seat, between

the cushion and backrest, are located a

pair of ISOFIX anchorage points togeth-

er with a top tether mounting on the floor

behind the rear seats. During the installa-

tion, the seat has to be engaged at the

anchorage-points in a way you can hear

it clicking (check by pulling!) and has to

be fixed with the Top Tether-belt on the

(Continued)

WARNING

1. To engage the child restraint seat to

the ISOFIX anchor, insert the child

restraint seat latch into the ISOFIX

anchor. Listen for the audible “click”

sound.

In a crash, the child restraint seat

ISOFIX attachments may not be

strong enough to secure the child

restraint seat properly in the cen-

ter of the rear seat and may

break, causing serious injury or

death.

Install the child restraint seat fully

rearward against the seatback with

the seatback in a vertical position,

not reclined.

CAUTION

• Do not mount more than one

child restraint to a child restraint

lower anchorage point. The

improper increased load may

cause the anchorage points or

tether anchor to break, causing

serious injury or death.

Do not allow the rear seat belt web-

bing to get scratched or pinched by

the ISOFIX-seat latch and ISOFIX

anchor during the installation.

WARNING

When using the vehicle's "ISOFIX"

system to install a child restraint

system in the rear seat, all unused

vehicle rear seat belt metal latch

plates or tabs must be latched

securely in their seat belt buckles

and the seat belt webbing must be

retracted behind the child restraint

to prevent the child from reaching

and taking hold of unretracted seat

belts. Unlatched metal latch plates

or tabs may allow the child to reach

the unretracted seat belts which

may result in strangulation and a

serious injury or death to the child

in the child restraint.

2. Connect the tether strap hook to the

child restraint hook holder and tighten

to secure the seat. (Refer to the previ-

ous page.)

• Attach the ISOFIX or ISOFIX-com-

patible child restraint seat only to

Driver’s front air bag (1)

The SRSCM continually monitors all ele-

ments while the ignition switch is ON to

determine if a frontal or near-frontal

impact is severe enough to require air

bag deployment or pre-tensioner seat

belt deployment.

SRS components and functions

The SRS consists of the following com-

ponents:

1. Driver's front air bag module

2. Passenger's front air bag module*

3. Side air bag modules*

The SRS air bag warning light on the

instrument panel will illuminate for about

6 seconds after the ignition switch is

turned to the ON position, after which the

air bag warning light should go out.

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*

B240B01L

If any of the following conditions occurs,

this indicates a malfunction of the SRS.

Have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer

inspect the air bag system as soon as

possible.

The air bag modules are located both in

the center of the steering wheel and in

the front passenger's panel above the

glove box. When the SRSCM detects a

sufficiently severe impact to the front of

the vehicle, it will automatically deploy

the front air bags.

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

then 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 passenger's forward

motion, reducing the risk of head and

chest injury.

WARNING

• Do not install or place any acces-

sories (drink holder, CD holder,

sticker, etc.) on the front passen-

ger's panel above the glove box

in a vehicle with a passenger's air

bag. Such objects may become

dangerous projectiles and cause

injury if the passenger's air bag

inflates.

After complete inflation, the air bag

immediately starts deflating, enabling the

driver to maintain forward visibility and

the ability to steer or operate other con-

trols.

• When installing a container of liq-

uid air freshener inside the vehi-

cle, do not place it near the

instrument cluster nor on the

instrument panel surface.

It may become dangerous projec-

tiles and cause injury if the pas-

senger's air bag inflates.

WARNING

• The SRS can function only when

the ignition key is in the "ON"

position. If the SRS air bag warn-

ing light does not illuminate, or

continuously remains on after

illuminating for about 6 seconds

when the ignition key is turned to

the ON position, or after the

engine is started, comes on while

driving, the SRS is not working

properly. If this occurs, have your

vehicle immediately inspected by

an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

• If an air bag deploys, there may

be a loud noise followed by a fine

dust released in the vehicle.

These conditions are normal and

are not hazardous - the air bags

are packed in this fine powder.

The dust generated during air

bag deployment may cause skin

or eye irritation as well as aggra-

vate asthma for some persons.

Always wash all exposed skin

areas thoroughly with lukewarm

water and a mild soap after an

accident in which the air bags

were deployed.

WARNING

• Move your seat as far back as

practical from the front air bags,

while still maintaining control of

the vehicle.

Always use seat belts and child

restraints – every trip, every time,

everyone! Air bags inflate with

considerable force and in the blink

of an eye. Seat belts help keep

occupants in proper position to

obtain maximum benefit from the

air bag. Even with air bags, improp-

erly and unbelted occupants can be

severely injured when the air bag

inflates. Always follow the precau-

tions about seat belts, air bags and

occupant safety contained in this

manual.

• You and your passengers should

never sit or lean unnecessarily

close to the air bags. Improperly

positioned drivers and passen-

gers can be severely injured by

inflating air bags.

• Never lean against the door or

center console – always sit in an

upright position.

OFD039017E

The purpose of the SRS is to provide the

vehicle's driver and/or the front passen-

ger with additional protection than that

offered by the seat belt system alone in

case of a frontal impact of sufficient

severity.

• Do not allow a passenger to ride

in the front seat when the pas-

senger’s front air bag OFF indica-

tor is illuminated, because the air

bag will not deploy in the event of

a moderate or severe frontal

crash.

To reduce the chance of serious or

fatal injuries and receive the maxi-

mum safety benefit from your

restraint system:

• Never place a child in any child or

booster seat in the front seat.

• ABC – Always Buckle Children in

the back seat. It is the safest

place for children of any age to

ride.

• Front and side air bags can injure

occupants improperly positioned

in the front seats.

(Continued)

• No objects should be placed over

or near the air bag modules on

the steering wheel, instrument

panel, and the front passenger's

panel above the glove box,

because any such object could

cause harm if the vehicle is in a

crash severe enough to cause

the air bags to deploy.

• Air bags can only be used once –

have an authorized HYUNDAI

dealer replace the air bag imme-

diately after deployment.

• The SRS is designed to deploy

the front air bags only when an

impact is sufficiently severe and

when the impact angle is less

than 30° from the forward longitu-

dinal axis of the vehicle.

Additionally, the air bags will only

deploy once. Seat belts must be

worn at all times.

• Do not tamper with or disconnect

SRS wiring or other components

of the SRS system. Doing so

could result in injury, due to acci-

dental deployment of the air bags

or by rendering the SRS inopera-

tive.

• Front air bags are not intended to

deploy in side-impact, rear-

impact or rollover crashes. In

addition, front air bags will not

deploy in frontal crashes below

the deployment threshold.

• If the SRS air bag warning light

remains illuminated while the

vehicle is being driven, have an

• A child restraint system must

never be placed in the front seat.

The infant or child could be

severely injured or killed by an air

bag deployment in case of an

accident.

• Sitting improperly or out of posi-

tion can result in serious or fatal

injury in a crash. All occupants

should sit upright with the seat

back in an upright position, cen-

tered on the seat cushion with

their seat belt on, legs comfort-

ably extended and their feet on

the floor until the vehicle is

parked and the ignition key is

removed.

• Children age 12 and under must

always be properly restrained in

the rear seat. Never allow chil-

dren to ride in the front passen-

ger seat. If a child over 12 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.

OFD039018E

• The SRS air bag system must

deploy very rapidly to provide

protection in a crash. If an occu-

pant is out of position because of

not wearing a seat belt, the air

bag may forcefully contact the

occupant causing serious or fatal

injuries.

installed on the front passenger's seat or

if the front passenger's seat is unoccu-

pied by a person.

• For maximum safety protection in

all types of crashes, all occu-

pants including the driver should

always wear their seat belts

whether or not an air bag is also

provided at their seating position

to minimize the risk of severe

injury or death in the event of a

crash. Do not sit or lean unneces-

sarily close to the air bag while

the vehicle is in motion.

To ensure the safety of your child, the

• Frontal air bags are not designed to

inflate in rear collisions, because occu-

pants are moved backward by the

force of the impact. In this case, inflat-

ed air bags would not be able to pro-

vide any additional benefit.

• Front air bags may not inflate in side

impact collisions, because occupants

move to the direction of the collision,

and thus in side impacts, frontal air bag

deployment would not provide addi-

tional occupant protection.

• In a slant or 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 bene-

fit, and thus the sensors may not

deploy any air bags.

However, side or curtain air bags may

inflate depending on the intensity, vehi-

• 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 signifi-

cantly replaced by such “under-ride”

collisions.

• Air bags may not inflate in rollover acci-

dents because air bag deployment

would not provide protection to the

occupants.

• Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle

collides with objects such as utility

poles or trees, where the point of

impact is concentrated to one area and

the full force of the impact is not deliv-

ered to the sensors.

However, side and/or curtain air bags

may inflate when the vehicle is rolled

over by a side impact collision, if the

It is virtually impossible for you to see

the air bags inflate during an accident.

It is much more likely that you will sim-

ply see the deflated air bags hanging

out of their storage compartments after

the collision.

How does the air bag system

operate

WARNING

• To avoid severe personal injury

or death caused by deploying air

bags in a collision, the driver

should sit as far back from the

steering wheel air bag as possi-

ble (at least 250 mm (10 inches)

away). The front passenger

should always move their seat as

far back as possible and sit back

in their seat.

• Air bags are activated (able to inflate if

necessary) only when the ignition

switch is turned to the ON or START

position.

• In order to help provide protection in a

severe collision, the air bags must

inflate rapidly. The speed of air bag

inflation is a consequence of the

extremely short time in which a collision

occurs and the need to get 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 in a severe collision

and is thus a necessary part of air bag

design.

• Air bags inflate instantly in the event of

serious frontal or side collision (if

equipped with side air bag or curtain

air bag) in order to help protect the

occupants from serious physical injury.

• Air bag inflates instantly in an

event of collision, passengers

may be injured by the air bag

expansion force if they are not in

proper position.

• There is no single speed at which the

air bags will inflate.

Generally, air bags are designed to

inflate by the severity of a collision and

its direction. These two factors deter-

mine whether the sensors send out an

electronic deployment/inflation signal.

• Air bag inflation may cause

injuries which normally include

facial or bodily abrasions,

injuries from broken glasses or

burns by the air bag inflation

gasses.

However, air bag inflation can also

cause injuries which normally can

include facial abrasions, bruises and

broken bones, and sometimes more

severe injuries because the inflation

speed also causes the air bags to

expand with a great deal of force.

• Air bag deployment depends on a

number of factors including vehicle

speed, angles of impact and the densi-

ty and stiffness of the vehicles or

objects which your vehicle hits in the

collision. Though, factors are not limit-

ed to those mentioned above.

• There are even circumstances

under which contact with the steer-

ing wheel air bag can cause fatal

injuries, especially if the occupant

is positioned excessively close to

the steering wheel.

• The front air bags will completely

inflate and deflate in an instant.

Noise and smoke

WARNING

When the air bags inflate, they make a

loud noise and they leave smoke and

powder in the air inside of the vehicle.

This is normal and is a result of the igni-

tion of the air bag inflator. After the air

bag inflates, you may feel substantial dis-

comfort in breathing due to the contact of

your chest to both the seat belt and the

air bag, as well as from breathing the

smoke and powder. We strongly urge

you to open your doors and/or win-

dows as soon as possible after impact

in order to reduce discomfort and pre-

vent prolonged exposure to the

smoke and powder.

When the air bags deploy, the air

bag related parts in steering wheel

and/or instrument panel and/or in

both sides of the roof rails above

the front and rear doors are very

hot. To prevent injury, do not touch

the air bag storage areas internal

components immediately after an

air bag has inflated.

C040903AUN

Installing a child restraint on a front

passenger’s seat is forbidden

Never place a rear-facing child restraint

in the front passenger’s seat. If the air

bag deploys, it would impact the rear-fac-

ing child restraint, causing serious or

fatal injury.

Though smoke and powder are non-

toxic, it may cause irritation to the skin

(eyes, nose and throat etc). If this is the

case, wash and rinse with the cold water

immediately and consult the doctor if the

symptom persists.

In addition, do not place front-facing child

restraint in the front passenger’s seat

either. If the front passenger air bag

inflates, it would cause serious or fatal

injuries to the child.

Safety system of your vehicle

When the ignition switch is turned ON,

the indicator light should illuminate for

approximately 6 seconds, then go off.

WARNING

• Extreme Hazard! Do not use a

rearward facing child restraint on

a seat protected by an air bag in

front of it!

Have the system checked if:

• The light does not turn on briefly when

you turn the ignition ON.

• Never put child restraint in the

front passenger’s seat. If the front

passenger air bag inflates, it

would cause serious or fatal

injuries.

• The light stays on after illuminating for

approximately 6 seconds.

• The light comes on while the vehicle is

in motion.

• When children are seated in the

rear outboard seats in which side

air bags are equipped, be sure to

put the child restraint system as

far away from the door side as

possible, and secure the child

restraint system to be locked in

position.

Air bag warning light

The purpose of air bag warning light in

your instrument panel is to alert you of a

potential problem with your air bag -

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).

Inflation of side or curtain air bag

could cause serious injury or

death due to the expansion

impact.

SRS Care

WARNING

• If the air bags inflate, they must

be replaced by an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer.

• Modification to SRS components

or wiring, including the addition

of any kind of badges to the pad

covers or modifications to the

body structure, can adversely

affect SRS performance and lead

to possible injury.

The SRS is virtually maintenance-free

and so there are no parts you can safely

service by yourself. If the SRS air bag

warning light does not illuminate, or con-

tinuously remains on, have your vehicle

immediately inspected by an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer.

• Do not tamper with or disconnect

SRS wiring, or other components

of the SRS system. Doing so

could result in injury, due to acci-

dental inflation of the air bags or

by rendering the SRS inopera-

tive.

• For cleaning the air bag pad cov-

ers, use only a soft, dry cloth or

one which has been moistened

with plain water. Solvents or

cleaners could adversely affect

the air bag covers and proper

deployment of the system.

Any work on the SRS system, such as

removing, installing, repairing, or any

work on the steering wheel must be per-

formed by an authorized HYUNDAI deal-

er. Improper handling of the SRS system

may result in serious personal injury.

• If components of the air bag sys-

tem must be discarded, or if the

vehicle must be scrapped, certain

safety precautions must be

observed.

An

authorized

• No objects should be placed over

or near the air bag modules on

the steering wheel, instrument

panel, and the front passenger's

panel above the glove box,

because any such object could

cause harm if the vehicle is in a

crash severe enough to cause

the air bags to inflate.

HYUNDAI dealer knows these

precautions and can give you the

necessary information. Failure to

follow these precautions and pro-

cedures could increase the risk

of personal injury.

• If your car was flooded and has

soaked carpeting or water on

flooring, you shouldn't try to start

the engine; have the car towed to

an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

• Keep occupants away from the air

bag covers. All occupants should sit

upright, fully back in their seats with

their seat belts on and their feet on the

floor. If occupants are too close to the

air bag covers, they could be injured if

the air bags inflate.

Additional safety precautions

WARNING

• Sitting improperly or out of posi-

tion can cause occupants to be

shifted too close to a deploying

air bag, strike the interior struc-

ture or be thrown from the vehicle

resulting in serious injury or

death.

• Never let passengers ride in the

cargo area or on top of a folded-

down back seat. All occupants should

sit upright, fully back in their seats with

their seat belts on and their feet on the

floor.

• Do not attach or place objects on or

near the air bag covers. Any object

attached to or placed on the front or

side air bag covers could interfere with

the proper operation of the air bags.

• Passengers should not move out of

or change seats while 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 out of the vehicle.

• Always sit upright with the seat-

back in an upright position, cen-

tered on the seat cushion with

your seat belt on, legs comfort-

ably extended and your feet on

the floor.

• 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 air bags.

• Each seat belt is designed to

restrain one occupant. If more than

one person uses the same seat belt,

they could be seriously injured or killed

in a collision.

C041400AUN

• 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.

Adding equipment to or modify-

ing your air bag-equipped 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.

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.

• Never hold an infant or child on your

lap. The infant or child could be seri-

ously injured or killed in the event of a

crash. All infants and children should

be properly restrained in appropriate

child safety seats or seat belts in the

rear seat.

• Passengers should not place hard

or sharp objects between them-

selves and the air bags. Carrying

hard or sharp objects on your lap or in

your mouth can result in injuries if an

air bag inflates.
