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.

• 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.

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.

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

The driver's and front passenger's seats

are equipped with a headrest for the

occupant's safety and comfort.

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.

WARNING

• 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 occu-

pant's head. Generally, the center of

gravity of most people'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 cush-

ion that holds the body away from

the seatback is not recommended.

• 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 protection

against neck injuries when proper-

ly adjusted.

Seat cushion height (for driver’s seat)

(if equipped)

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.

The active headrest is designed to move

forward and upward during a rear impact.

This helps to prevent the driver's and

front passenger’s head from moving

backward and thus helps prevent neck

injuries.

WARNING

A gap between the seat and the

headrest release button may

appear when seating on the seat or

when you push or pull the seat. Be

careful not to get your finger, etc.

caught in the gap.

• Do not adjust the headrest position

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 hand

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.

• 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.

The purpose of the fold-down rear

seatbacks (or cushions) is to allow

you to carry longer objects than

could otherwise be accommodated.

OFD037008

To fold the rear seat cushion and back

- 5 Door

1. Set the front seatback to the upright

position and if necessary, slide the

front seat forward.

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 a

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.

2. Pull the cushion folding strap (1) and

lift the front portion of the seat cushion.

WARNING

When you return the rear seatback

to its upright position after being

folded down:

WARNING - Cargo

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.

WARNING - Cargo loading

Make sure the engine is off, the

transaxle is in P and the hand brake

is applied whenever loading or

unloading cargo. Failure to take

these steps may allow the vehicle

to move if shift lever is inadvertent-

ly moved to another position.

CAUTION - Rear seat belts

When returning the rear seatbacks

to the upright position, remember

to return the rear shoulder belts to

their proper position.

SEAT BELTS

C020100AUN-EA

(Continued)

Seat belt restraint system

WARNING

• 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.

• Be careful not to damage the belt

webbing or hardware. If the belt

webbing or hardware is dam-

aged, replace it.

• For maximum restraint system

protection, the seat belts must

always be used whenever the car

is moving.

• Seat belts are most effective

when seatbacks are in the

upright position.

The use of seat belts reduces the risk of

accident injury by avoiding collision with

the interior of the car and by preventing

the occupants from being thrown out of

the car.This makes them the most impor-

tant safety feature available for you and

your passengers. Adequate protection is

afforded only when the belt is worn cor-

rectly. You should always fasten and

adjust your seatbelts before the car is put

in motion and encourage your passen-

gers to do the same.

• Children age 12 and younger

must

always

be

properly

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.

• 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

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.

Seat belts should be adjusted as

firmly as possible, consistent with

comfort, to provide the protection

for which they have been designed.

(Continued)

A slack belt will greatly reduce the

protection afforded to the wearer.

Seat belt warning

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.

As a reminder to the driver and front pas-

senger, the driver’s and front passenger’s

seat belt warning lights will illuminate for

approximately 6 seconds each time you

turn the ignition switch ON regardless of

belt fastening.

If the driver’s or front passenger’s seat

belt is not fastened when the ignition

switch is turned ON or if it is unfastened

after the ignition switch is turned ON, the

corresponding seat belt warning light will

illuminate or blink until the belt is fas-

tened.

1GQA2083

If the driver's or front passenger’s seat

belt is not fastened when the ignition

switch is turned ON and you drive over

20 km/h, the seat belt warning chime will

sound for approximately 100 seconds.

If the driver's or front passenger’s seat

belt is unfastened after the ignition switch

is turned ON and you drive over 20 km/h,

the seat belt warning chime will sound for

approximately 100 seconds.

After 100 seconds, if the seat belt is con-

nected and disconnected again, the seat

belt warning chime will sound again.

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.

To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the

retractor and insert the metal tab (1) into

the buckle (2). There will be an audible

"click" when the tab locks into the buckle.

The seat belt automatically adjusts to the

proper length only after the lap belt por-

tion is adjusted manually so that it fits

snugly around your hips. If you lean for-

ward in a slow, easy motion, the belt will

extend and let you move around. If there

is a sudden stop or impact, however, the

belt will lock into position. It will also lock

if you try to lean forward too quickly.

priate height. Never position the

shoulder belt across your neck or

face. Improperly positioned seat

belts can cause serious injuries

in an accident.

• Failure to replace seat belts after

an accident could leave you with

damaged seat belts that will not

provide protection in the event of

another collision leading to per-

sonal injury or death. Replace

your seat belts after being in an

accident as soon as possible.

OHD036019

B200A01NF-E

You can adjust the height of the shoulder

belt anchor to one of 4 positions for max-

imum comfort and safety.

If the height of the adjusting seat belt is

too near your neck, you will not be getting

the most effective protection. The shoul-

der portion should be adjusted so that it

lies across your chest and midway over

your shoulder nearest the door and not

your neck.

WARNING

You should place the lap belt por-

tion as low as possible and snugly

across your hips, not on your waist.

If the lap belt is located too high on

your waist, it may increase the

chance of injury in the event of a

collision. Both arms should not be

under or over the belt. Rather, one

should be over and the other under,

as shown in the illustration.

To adjust the height of the seat belt

anchor, lower or raise the height adjuster

into an appropriate position.

Never wear the seat belt under the

arm nearest the door.

Pre-tensioner seat belt

(if equipped)

Your vehicle is equipped with driver's and

front passenger's pre-tensioner seat

belts. The purpose of the pre-tensioner is

to make sure that the seat belts fit tightly

against the wearer’s body in certain

frontal collisions. The pre-tensioner seat

belts can be activated, where the frontal

collision is severe enough, together with

the air bags.

3 19

Safety system of your vehicle

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)

WARNING

To obtain maximum benefit from a

pre-tensioner seat belt:

1. The seat belt 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

in this manual.

WARNING

Because the sensor that activates the

SRS air bag is connected with the pre-

tensioner seat belt, the SRS air bag

warning light on the instrument panel

will illuminate for approximately 6 sec-

onds after the ignition switch has been

turned to the "ON" position, and then it

should turn off.

• Both the driver's and front passen-

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.

• 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-tensioners will not be activat-

ed if the seat belts are not being worn

at the time of the 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.

• Do not attempt to inspect or

replace the pre-tensioner seat

belts yourself. This must be done

by an authorised HYUNDAI deal-

er.

CAUTION

• 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.

If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not

working properly, this warning light

will illuminate even if there is no

malfunction of the SRS air bag. If

the SRS air bag warning light does

not illuminate when the ignition key

is turned to "ON", or if it remains

illuminated after illuminating for

approximately 6 seconds, or if it

illuminates while the vehicle is

being driven, please have an autho-

rised HYUNDAI dealer inspect the

pre-tensioner seat belt or SRS air

bag system as soon as possible.

• Although it is harmless, the fine dust

may cause skin irritation and should

not be breathed for prolonged peri-

ods. Wash all exposed skin areas thor-

oughly after an accident in which the

pre-tensioner seat belts were activat-

ed.

• Do not strike the pre-tensioner

seat belt assemblies.

• 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.

WARNING

C020300AUN

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.

Seat belt precautions

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.

Always follow the precautions

about seat belts, air bags and occu-

pant seat contained in this manual.

Safety system of your vehicle

C020301AUN-EA

C020302AKM

If the shoulder belt portion slightly touch-

es 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 a

child restraint system.

Larger children

Restraint of 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 snug on the hips and as low

as possible. 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 in the rear seat. If a larger child

(over age 12) must be seated in the front

seat, the child should be securely

restrained by the available lap/shoulder

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.

Pregnant women should wear lap/shoul-

der belt assemblies whenever possible

according to specific recommendations

by their doctors. The lap portion of the

belt should be worn AS SNUGLY AND

LOW AS POSSIBLE.

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.

• If seat belts are not properly worn

and adjusted on children, there is

a risk of death or serious injury.

WARNING - Pregnant

women

Pregnant women must never place

the lap portion of the safety belt

over the area of the abdomen

where the fetus is located or above

the abdomen where the belt could

crush the fetus during an impact.

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.

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.

Maintenance of seat belts

Do not lie down

Care of seat belts

When cleaning the seat belts, as recom-

mended, avoid getting solutions into the

buckle where they may attack the lubri-

cant or cause corrosion. Do not attempt

to bleach or re-dye belts, as this may

affect the webbing strength.

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.

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.

✽

NOTICE

WARNING

Do not attempt any form of modifica-

tions or repairs to seat belt components.

If the retractor or other components do

not operate correctly, call an authorised

HYUNDAI dealer, who will take the

necessary corrective action. Your autho-

rised dealer will inspect all seat belt

components at regular intervals and

advise if replacement is required.

Between these inspections you should

make regular checks to ensure that for-

eign objects are not preventing complete

buckle engagement.

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 wearer’s hips will slide

under the lap belt causing serious

internal injuries or the wearer’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.

3 24

Safety system of your vehicle

C020401AUN

Periodic inspection

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.

C020402AUN

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.

C020403AFD-EA

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 authorised HYUNDAI dealer.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM

C030000BUN-EA

Follow all the instructions provided by the

manufacturer when installing the child

restraint system.

(Continued)

Children riding in the car should sit in the

rear seat and must always be properly

restrained to minimise the risk of injury in

an accident, sudden stop or sudden

manoeuvre. 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.

If the child is old enough to sit alone and

the car is not equipped with a proper

child or infant seat, the child should be

placed in the rear seat and restrained

with a lap/sash belt.

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).

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.

• A child restraint system should

be placed in the vehicle's rear

seat since this can make an

important contribution to safety.

• Unrestrained children should not

be carried in the car. Holding a

child in your arms is not a satis-

factory substitute for a child

restraint system. A child held in

this manner can be crushed

between your body and the interi-

or of the car.

• 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.

• Before installing Child Restraint

System to vehicles fitted with

Curtain Airbags, always refer to

safety notices for Curtain Airbag

WARNING

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

WARNING

• 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 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.

• 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.

• Under all circumstances the

attaching bolt must be engaged

at least 5 full threads in the

anchorage. If you are in doubt

with any aspect of this installa-

tion please contact an authorised

HYUNDAI dealer.

• 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.

• Always store or secure a child

seat, even when it is not in use.

During a collision or a sudden

stop, the child seat could be

thrown inside the vehicle.

To reduce the chance or serious or

fatal injuries:

• 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 manufacturer.

• 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.

• Never allow a child to stand-up or

kneel on the seat or floorboard of

a moving vehicle. During a colli-

sion or a sudden stop, the child

can be violently thrown against

the vehicles interior, resulting in

serious injury.

• 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.

To secure the child restraint seat

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.

Install the child restraint seat fully

rearward against the seatback with

the seatback in a vertical position,

not reclined.

CAUTION

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.

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.

If any of the following conditions occurs,

this indicates a malfunction of the SRS.

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, cassette

holder, sticker, etc.) on the front

passenger's panel above the

glove box in a vehicle with a pas-

senger's air bag. Such objects

may become dangerous projec-

tiles and cause injury if the pas-

senger'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

• 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-

never sit or lean unnecessarily

close to the air bags. Improperly

positioned drivers and passen-

gers can be severely injured by

inflating air bags.

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.

• Never lean against the door or

centre console – always sit in an

upright position.

OFD037017R

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.

(Continued)

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

Safety system of your vehicle

Rear impact

(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.

• 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.

• Air bags can only be used once –

have an authorised HYUNDAI

dealer replace the air bag imme-

diately after deployment.

• The SRS is designed to deploy

the airbags only when the impact

is sufficiently severe and when

the impact is in the front or

frontal angle of the vehicle, and

will not deploy in side, rear or

rollover impacts. Additionally, the

airbags will only deploy once.

Thus, seat belts must be worn at

all times.

• Front air bags are not intended to

deploy in side-impact, rear-

impact or rollover crashes. In

addition, front air bags will not

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 minimise 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.

• 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-

tred 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.

• 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.

Side air bag (if equipped)

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 driv-

er and/or the front passenger with addi-

tional protection than that offered by the

seat belt alone.

(Continued)

3 40

Safety system of your vehicle

The side air bags are designed to deploy

only during certain side-impact collisions,

depending on the crash severity, angle,

speed and point of impact. The side air

bags are not designed to deploy in all

side impact situations.

(Continued)

• Do not install any accessories on

the side or near the side air bag.

WARNING

• The side air bag is supplemental

to the driver's and the passen-

ger's seat belt systems and is not

a substitute for them. Therefore

your seat belts must be worn at

all times while the vehicle is in

motion. The air bags deploy only

in certain side impact conditions

severe enough to cause signifi-

cant injury to the vehicle occu-

pants.

• Do not place any objects over the

air bag or between the air bag

and yourself.

• Do not place any objects (an

umbrella, bag, etc.) between the

front door and the front seat.

Such objects may become dan-

gerous projectiles and cause

injury if the supplemental side air

bag inflates.

• To prevent unexpected deploy-

ment of the side air bag that may

result in personal injury, avoid

impact to the side impact sensor

when the ignition key is on.

• If seat or seat cover is damaged,

have the vehicle checked and

repaired by an authorised

HYUNDAI dealer. Inform that your

vehicle is equipped with side air

bags.

Important safety notes on the side air

bag system

Following is a number of safety points

concerning this system which should

always be observed to ensure risk of

injury is reduced in an accident.

• For best protection from the side

air bag system and to avoid being

injured by the deploying side air

bag, both front seat occupants

should sit in an upright position

with the seat belt properly fas-

tened. The driver's hands should

be placed on the steering wheel

at the 9:00 and 3:00 positions.

The passenger's arms and hands

should be placed on their laps.

• Do not use any accessory seat

covers.

• Use of seat covers could reduce

or prevent the effectiveness of

the system.

(Continued)

Safety system of your vehicle

The curtain air bags are designed to

deploy only during certain side impact

collisions, depending on the crash sever-

ity, angle, speed and impact. The curtain

air bags are not designed to deploy in all

side impact situations, collisions from the

front or rear of the vehicle or in most

rollover situations.

(Continued)

• Ensure the opening for the

Curtain Airbag System remains

unobstructed at all times, so that

the airbags can inflate properly if

needed.

• The built in coat hooks should

only be used for light weight

clothing, ensure that pockets are

free of any heavy or sharp

objects. When using coat hooks,

do not hang clothes on coat

hangers.

• The space between the occupant

and the curtain airbag must never

be occupied by children, passen-

gers or pets. Occupants should

never lean out or have any parts

of their body protruding from the

window whilst the engine is run-

ning.

• Do not move the sun visor out to

cover the side window if there is

an item attached to it such as

garage door remote control,

pens, air fresheners or the like.

These objects may cause injury if

the Curtain Airbag is deployed.

Important safety notes for curtain

airbag systems

Following is a number of safety points

concerning this system which should

always be observed to ensure risk of

injury is reduced in an accident.

• Before installing child restraints,

always refer to "Child Restraint

System" to ensure correct instal-

lation and occupant protection is

maximised.

Curtain air bag (if equipped)

• Make sure that the occupant

does not have any body parts

(head, arms & legs) protruding

outside the restraining system. If

an inflating airbag was to strike

an infant child on the head, it may

cause serious injury.

Curtain air bags are located along both

sides of the roof rails above the front and

rear doors.

They are designed to help protect the

heads of the front seat occupants and

the rear outboard seat occupants in cer-

tain side impact collisions.

(Continued)

Safety system of your vehicle

(Continued)

WARNING

• Where sun blinds are fitted to the

rear doors, these must not

obstruct or impair the airbag in

any way.

• Do not install any accessories or

children’s toys in the Curtain

Airbag deployment zones, as this

may impair the operation of the

system or throw parts of them

into the vehicle cabin causing

injury to occupants if the system

is deployed.

• To maintain the integrity of the

Curtain Airbag system, any work,

removal or installation of the

airbag and associated compo-

nents (such as roof lining and

side trims) should always be per-

formed by a qualified vehicle

repairer.

• Do not allow the 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 passen-

gers when they are seated on

seats equipped with side and/or

curtain air bags.

• Never try to open or repair any

components of the side curtain

air bag system. This should only

be done by an authorised

HYUNDAI dealer.

• In order for side and curtain air

bags to provide its best protec-

tion, both front seat occupants

and both outboard rear occu-

pants should sit in an upright

position with the seat belts prop-

erly fastened. Importantly, chil-

dren should sit in a proper child

restraint system in the rear seat.

• When children are seated in the

rear outboard seats, they must be

seated in the proper child

restraint system. Make sure to

put the child restraint system as

far away from the door side as

possible, and secure the child

restraint system in a locked posi-

tion.

Failure to follow the above men-

tioned instructions can result in

injury or death to the vehicle occu-

pants in an accident.

Why didn’t my air bag go off in a

collision? (Inflation and non-infla-

tion conditions of the air bag)

There are many types of accidents in

which the air bag would not be expect-

ed to provide additional protection.

These include rear impacts, second or

third collisions in multiple impact

accidents, as well as low speed

impacts. In other words, just because

your vehicle is damaged and even if it

is totally unusable, don’t be surprised

that the air bags did not inflate.

WARNING

• Problems may arise if the sensor

installation angles are changed

due to the deformation of the

front bumper, body or B pillar

where side collision sensors are

installed. Have the vehicle

checked and repaired by an

authorised HYUNDAI dealer.

• Your vehicle has been designed

to absorb impact and deploy the

air bag(s) in certain collisions.

Installing aftermarket bumper

guards or replacing a bumper

with non-genuine parts may

adversely affect your vehicles

collision and air bag deployment

performance.

• Do not hit or allow any objects to

impact the locations where air bag

or sensors are installed.

This may cause unexpected air

bag deployment, which could

result in serious personal injury

or death.

• If the installation location or

angle of the sensors is altered in

any way, the air bags may deploy

when they should not or they may

not deploy when they should,

causing severe injury or death.

Therefore, do not try to perform

maintenance on or around the air

bag sensors. Have the vehicle

checked and repaired by an

authorised HYUNDAI dealer.

Air bag inflation conditions

Front air bag

Front air bags are designed to inflate in a

frontal collision depending on the intensi-

ty, speed or angles of impact of the front

collision.

(Continued)

3 45

Safety system of your vehicle

Although the front air bags (driver’s and

front passenger’s air bags) are designed

to inflate only in frontal collisions, they

also may inflate in other types of colli-

sions if the front impact sensors detect a

sufficient impact. Side air bags (side

and/or 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.

1JBA3516M

If the vehicle chassis is impacted by

bumps or objects on unimproved roads

or sidewalks, air bags may deploy. Drive

carefully on unimproved roads or on sur-

faces not designed for vehicle traffic to

prevent unintended air bag deployment.

OED036099M

C040802AUN

Air bag non-inflation conditions

• 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

in such collisions.

OUN026090

Side air bags (if equipped)

Side and/or curtain air bags are

designed to inflate when an impact is

detected by side collision sensors

depending on the strength, speed or

angles of impact resulting from a side

impact collision or rollover.

3 46

Safety system of your vehicle

OED036100M

1JBA3516M

1JBA3521M

• 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-

cle speed and angles of impact.

3 47

Safety system of your vehicle

OED036103M

1JBA3522

OED036105

• 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.

However, side and/or curtain air bags

may inflate when the vehicle is rolled

over by a side impact collision, if the

vehicle is equipped with side air bags

and curtain air bags.

• 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.

3 48

Safety system of your vehicle

C040900AUN

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.

• 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.

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.

• 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.

How does the air bag system

operate

• Air bags are activated (able to inflate if

necessary) only when the ignition

switch is turned to the ON or START

position.

• 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.

• 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 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.

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 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.

• 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.

• The front air bags will completely

inflate and deflate in an instant.

Safety system of your vehicle

C040902AUN

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.

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.

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.

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.

3 50

Safety system of your vehicle

(Continued)

• 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

position.

Inflation of side or curtain air bag

could cause serious injury or

death due to the expansion

impact.

Air bag warning light

WARNING

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).

When the ignition switch is turned ON,

the indicator light should illuminate for

approximately 6 seconds, then go off.

Have the system checked if:

• The light does not turn on briefly when

you turn the ignition ON.

• Extreme Hazard! Do not use a

rearward facing child restraint on

a seat protected by an air bag in

front of it!

• Never put child restraint in the

front passenger’s seat. If the front

passenger air bag inflates, it

would cause serious or fatal

injuries.

SRS Care

WARNING

• If the air bags inflate, they must

be replaced by an authorised

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.

• 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 authorised

HYUNDAI dealer.

• 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.

• 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.

Any work on the SRS system, such as

removing, installing, repairing, or any

work on the steering wheel must be per-

formed by an authorised 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

authorised

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 authorised HYUNDAI dealer.

(Continued)

3 52

Safety system of your vehicle

C041300AUN-EA

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Always sit upright with the seat-

back in an upright position, cen-

tred on the seat cushion with

your seat belt on, legs comfort-

ably extended and your feet on

the floor.

C041400AUN

Adding equipment to or modify-

ing 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.

• 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.
