IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
You will find many safety precautions  
and recommendations throughout this  
section, and throughout this manual.  
The safety precautions in this section are  
among the most important.  
Drivers can become distracted when  
they take their eyes and attention off  
the road or their hands off the wheel to  
focus on activities other than driving.  
To reduce your risk of distraction and an  
accident:  
Always wear your seat belt  
śꢀ Set up your mobile devices (for  
example, MP3 players, phones,  
navigation units, etc.) ONLY when  
your vehicle is parked or safely  
stopped.  
A seat belt is your best protection in all  
types of accidents. Air bags are designed  
to supplement seat belts, not to replace  
them. So even though your vehicle is  
equipped with air bags, ALWAYS make  
sure you and your passengers wear your  
seat belts, and wear them properly.  
śꢀ ONLY use your mobile device when  
allowed by laws and conditions permit  
safe use. NEVER text or email whilst  
driving. Most countries have laws  
prohibiting drivers from texting. Some  
countries and cities also prohibit  
Restrain all children  
All children under age 13 should ride  
in your vehicle properly restrained in a  
rear seat, not the front seat. Infants and  
small children should be restrained in  
an appropriate Child Restraint System.  
Larger children should use a booster  
seat with the lap/shoulder belt until they  
can use the seat belt properly without a  
booster seat.  
drivers from using handheld phones.  
śꢀ NEVER let the use of a mobile device  
distract you from driving. You have a  
responsibility to your passengers and  
others on the road to always drive  
safely, with your hands on the wheel  
as well as your eyes and attention on  
the road.  
Control your speed  
Air bag hazards  
Excessive speed is a major factor in crash  
injuries and deaths. Generally, the higher  
the speed, the greater the risk, but  
serious injuries can also occur at lower  
speeds. Never drive faster than is safe  
for current conditions, regardless of the  
maximum speed posted.  
Whilst air bags can save lives, they can  
also cause serious or fatal injuries to  
occupants who sit too close to them, or  
who are not properly restrained. Infants,  
young children, and short adults are at  
the greatest risk of being injured by an  
inflating air bag. Follow all instructions  
and warnings in this manual.  
Keep your vehicle in safe  
condition  
Having a tyre blowout or a mechanical  
failure can be extremely hazardous. To  
reduce the possibility of such problems,  
check your tyre pressures and condition  
frequently, and perform all regularly  
scheduled maintenance.  
Driver distraction  
Driver distraction presents a serious and  
potentially deadly danger, especially for  
inexperienced drivers. Safety should be  
the first concern when behind the wheel  
and drivers need to be aware of the wide  
array of potential distractions, such as  
drowsiness, reaching for objects, eating,  
personal grooming, other passengers,  
and using mobile phones.

Seats & Safety System  
Air bags  
Information  
You can take steps to reduce the risk  
of being injured by an inflating air bag.  
Sitting too close to an air bag greatly  
increases the risk of injury in the event  
the air bag inflates. Move your seat as  
far back as possible from front air bags,  
whilst still maintaining control of the  
vehicle.  
The information provided may differ  
depending on which functions are  
applicable to your vehicle.  
Safety precautions  
Adjusting the seats so that you are sitting  
in a safe and comfortable position plays  
an important role for the safety of the  
driver and passengers, as much as seat  
belts and air bags when in an accident.  
WARNING  
To reduce the risk of serious injury or  
death from an inflating air bag, take the  
following precautions:  
śꢀ Adjust the driver’s seat as far to the  
rear as possible whilst maintaining  
the ability to control the vehicle.  
WARNING  
Do not use a cushion that reduces  
friction between the seat and the  
passenger. The passenger’s hips may  
slide under the lap portion of the seat  
belt during an accident or a sudden  
stop.  
śꢀ Adjust the front passenger seat as far  
to the rear as possible.  
śꢀ Hold the steering wheel by the rim  
with your hands at the 9 o’clock and  
3 o’clock positions to minimise the  
risk of injuries to your hands and  
arms.  
Serious or fatal internal injuries could  
result because the seat belt cannot  
operate properly.  
śꢀ NEVER place anything or anyone  
between you and the air bag.  
śꢀ Do not allow the front passenger to  
place feet or legs on the instrument  
panel to minimise the risk of leg  
injuries.

Seat belts  
Always fasten your seat belt before  
starting any trip. At all times, passengers  
should sit upright and be properly  
restrained. Infants and small children  
must be restrained in appropriate Child  
Restraint Systems. Children who have  
outgrown a booster seat and adults must  
be restrained using the seat belts.  
Front seats  
WARNING  
Take the following precautions when  
adjusting your seat:  
śꢀ NEVER attempt to adjust the seat  
whilst the vehicle is moving. The  
seat could respond with unexpected  
movement and may cause loss  
of vehicle control resulting in an  
accident.  
śꢀ Do not place anything under the  
front seats. Loose objects in the  
driver’s foot area could interfere  
with the operation of the foot pedals,  
causing an accident.  
śꢀ Do not allow anything to interfere  
with the normal position and proper  
locking of the seatback.  
śꢀ Do not place a cigarette lighter on  
the floor or seat. When you operate  
the seat, gas may exit out of the  
lighter causing a fire.  
WARNING  
Take the following precautions when  
adjusting your seat belt:  
śꢀ NEVER use one seat belt for more  
than one occupant.  
śꢀ Always position the seatback upright  
with the lap portion of the seat belt  
snug and low across the hips.  
śꢀ NEVER allow children or small infants  
to ride on a passenger’s lap.  
śꢀ Do not route the seat belt across your  
neck, across sharp edges, or reroute  
the shoulder strap away from your  
body.  
śꢀ Use extreme caution when picking  
up small objects trapped under the  
seats or between the seat and the  
centre console. Your hands might be  
cut or injured by the sharp edges of  
the seat mechanism.  
śꢀ Do not allow the seat belt to become  
caught or jammed.  
śꢀ If there are occupants in the rear  
seats, be careful whilst adjusting the  
front seat position.  
śꢀ Make sure that the seat is locked in  
place after the adjustment. If not,  
the seat might move unexpectedly  
resulting in an accident.

some of the things not to do when using  
seat belts.  
śꢀ NEVER wear a seat belt over fragile  
objects. If there is a sudden stop or  
impact, the seat belt can damage it.  
śꢀ Do not use the seat belt if it is  
twisted. A twisted seat belt will not  
protect you properly in an accident.  
Seat belt safety precautions  
Always fasten your seat belt and make  
sure all passengers have fastened their  
seat belts before starting any trip. Air  
bags are designed to supplement the  
seat belt as an additional safety device,  
not a replacement. Most countries  
require all occupants of a vehicle to wear  
seat belts.  
śꢀ Do not use a seat belt if the webbing  
or hardware is damaged.  
śꢀ Do not latch the seat belt into the  
buckles of other seats.  
śꢀ NEVER unfasten the seat belt  
whilst driving. This may cause loss  
of vehicle control resulting in an  
accident.

Seat belts must be used by ALL  
passengers whenever the vehicle is  
moving. Take the following precautions  
when adjusting and wearing seat belts:  
śꢀ Children under the age of 13 should  
be properly restrained in the rear  
seats.  
śꢀ Never allow children to ride in the

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

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.

in an accident. Take the following  
precautions when adjusting the seat  
belt:  
śꢀ Position the lap portion of the seat  
belt as low as possible across your  
hips, not on your waist, so that it

serviced, repaired or replaced by an  
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.  
Your vehicle is equipped with driver’s and  
front passenger’s and rear passengers  
Pre-tensioner Seat Belts (Retractor  
Pre-tensioner). The purpose of the pre-  
tensioner is to make sure the seat belts  
fit tightly against the occupant’s body  
in certain frontal or side collision(s).  
The pre-tensioner seat belts may be  
activated in crashes where the frontal  
or side collision(s) is severe enough,  
together with the air bags.  
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.  
śꢀ Do not hit the seat belt assemblies.  
WARNING  
Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat  
belt assemblies for several minutes  
after they have been activated. When  
the pre-tensioner seat belt mechanism  
deploys during a collision, the pre-  
tensioner can become hot and can burn  
you.  
CAUTION  
Body work on the front area of the  
vehicle may damage the pre-tensioner  
seat belt system. Therefore, we  
recommend the system to be serviced  
by an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.  
If the system senses excessive tension  
on the driver or passenger’s seat belt  
when the pre-tensioner system activates,  
the load limiter inside the retractor  
pre-tensioner will release some of the  
pressure on the affected seat belt.

NOTICE  
The sensor that activates the SRS  
control module is connected with the  
pre–tensioner seat belts. The SRS air  
bag warning light on the instrument  
cluster will illuminate for approximately  
3~6 seconds after the Start/Stop button  
is in the ON position, and then it should  
turn off.  
If the pre-tensioner is not working  
properly, the warning light will  
OJS038072AU  
illuminate even if the SRS air bag is not  
malfunctioning. If the warning light  
does not illuminate, stays illuminated  
or illuminates when the vehicle is  
being driven, we recommend the pre-

Seat belt use and children  
Infant and small children  
Additional seat belt safety  
precautions  
Seat belt use during pregnancy  
Most countries have Child Restraint  
System laws which require children to  
travel in approved Child Restraint System  
devices, including booster seats. The age  
at which seat belts can be used instead  
of Child Restraint System differs among  
countries, so you should be aware of the  
specific requirements in your country,  
and where you are travelling. Infant and  
Child Restraint System must be properly  
placed and installed in a rear seat.  
The seat belt should always be used  
during pregnancy. The best way to  
protect your unborn child is to protect  
yourself by always wearing the seat belt.  
Pregnant women should always wear  
a lap-shoulder seat belt. Place the  
shoulder belt across your chest, routed  
between your breasts and away from  
your neck. Place the lap belt below your  
belly so that it fits SNUGLY across your  
hips and pelvic bone, under the rounded  
part of the belly.  
For more information refer to the “Child  
Restraint Systems” section in this  
chapter.  
WARNING  
WARNING  
To reduce the risk of serious injury or  
death to an unborn child during an  
accident, pregnant women should  
NEVER place the lap portion of the  
seat belt above or over the area of the  
abdomen where the unborn child is  
located.  
ALWAYS properly restrain infants and  
small children in a Child Restraint  
System appropriate for the child’s  
height and weight.  
To reduce the risk of serious injury or  
death to a child and other passengers,  
NEVER hold a child in your lap or arms  
when the vehicle is moving. The violent  
forces created during an accident will  
tear the child from your arms and throw  
the child against the interior of the  
vehicle.  
3-40  
03  
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  
requirements of the Australian/New  
Zealand standards. Before buying any  
Child Restraint System, make sure that  
it has a label certifying that it meets the  
requirements of the Australian/New  
Zealand standards.  
The Child Restraint System must be  
appropriate for your child’s height and  
weight. Check the label on the Child  
Restraint System for this information.  
Refer to “Child Restraint Systems”  
section in this chapter.  
Larger children  
Children under age 13 and who are  
too large for a booster seat should  
always occupy the rear seat and use the  
available lap/shoulder belts. A seat belt  
should lie across the upper thighs and  
be snug across the shoulder and chest  
to restrain the child safely. Check belt fit  
periodically. A child’s squirming could  
put the belt out of position. In the event  
of an accident, children are afforded the  
best safety restrained by a proper Child  
Restraint System in the rear seats.  
If a larger child over age 13 must be  
seated in the front seat, the child must  
be securely restrained by the available  
lap/shoulder belt and the seat should be  
placed in the rearmost position.  
If the shoulder belt portion slightly  
touches the child’s neck or face, try  
placing the child closer to the centre  
of the vehicle. If the shoulder belt still  
touches their face or neck, they need to  
be returned to an appropriate booster  
seat in the rear seat.  
WARNING  
śꢀ Always make sure larger children’s  
seat belts are worn and properly  
adjusted.  
śꢀ NEVER allow the shoulder belt to  
contact the child’s neck or face.  
śꢀ Do not allow more than one child to  
use a single seat belt.

Seats & Safety System  
Seat belt use and injured people  
Care of seat belts  
A seat belt should be used when an  
injured person is being transported.  
Consult a physician for specific  
recommendations.  
Seat belt systems should never be  
disassembled or modified. In addition,  
care should be taken to assure that seat  
belts and belt hardware are not damaged  
by seat hinges, doors or other abuse.  
One person per belt  
Periodic inspection  
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.  
All seat belts should be inspected  
periodically for wear or damage of any  
kind. Any damaged parts should be  
replaced as soon as possible.  
Do not lie down  
Keep belts clean and dry  
Sitting in a reclined position when the  
vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.  
Even when buckled up, the protections  
of your restraint system (seat belts  
and/or air bags) is greatly reduced by  
reclining your seatback.  
Seat belts should be kept clean and  
dry. If belts become dirty, they can be  
cleaned by using a mild soap solution  
and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong  
detergents or abrasives should not be  
used because they may damage and  
weaken the fabric.  
Seat belts must be snug against your  
hips and chest to work properly.  
During an accident, you could be thrown  
into the seat belt, causing neck or other  
injuries.  
The more the seat back is reclined, the  
greater the chance for the passenger’s  
hips to slide under the lap belt or the  
passenger’s neck to strike the shoulder  
belt.  
When to replace seat belts  
The entire 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. We recommend that you consult  
an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.  
WARNING  
śꢀ NEVER ride with a reclined seatback  
when the vehicle is moving.  
śꢀ Riding with a reclined seatback  
increases your chance of serious  
or fatal injuries in the event of a  
collision or sudden stop.  
śꢀ Driver and passengers should always  
sit well back in their seats with the  
seatbacks upright and should be  
belted properly.

Child Restraint System (CRS)  
Our recommendation: Children  
at middle position  
Infants and younger children must be  
restrained in an appropriate rearward-  
facing or forward-facing CRS that has  
first been properly secured to the seat  
of the vehicle. Read and comply with  
the instructions for installation and use  
provided by the manufacturer of the  
Child Restraint System.  
WARNING  
Always properly restrain children in the  
vehicle. Children of all ages are safer  
when riding in the rear seats. Never  
place a rearward-facing Child Restraint  
System on the front passenger seat,  
unless the air bag is deactivated.  
WARNING  
śꢀ Always follow the Child Restraint  
System manufacturer’s instructions  
for installation and use.  
Children under age 13 should always  
ride in the rear seats and must always be  
properly restrained to minimise the risk  
of injury in an accident, sudden stop or  
sudden manoeuvre.  
śꢀ Always properly restrain your child in  
the Child Restraint System.  
According to accident statistics, children  
are safer when properly restrained in the  
rear seats than in the front seat. Children  
too large for a Child Restraint System  
must use the seat belts provided.  
Most countries have regulations which  
require children to travel in approved  
Child Restraint Systems.  
The laws governing the age or height/  
weight restrictions at which seat belts  
can be used instead of Child Restraint  
System differs among countries, so  
you should be aware of the specific  
requirements in your country, and where  
you are travelling.  
śꢀ Do not use an infant carrier or a  
child safety seat that “hooks” over  
a seatback, it may not provide  
adequate protection in an accident.  
śꢀ After an accident, we recommend an  
authorised HYUNDAI dealer to check  
the Child Restraint System, seat  
belts, ISOFIX anchorages and top-  
tether anchorages.  
Child Restraint Systems must be properly  
installed in the vehicle seat. Always use  
a commercially available Child Restraint  
System that meets the requirements of  
the Australian/New Zealand standards.

Seats & Safety System  
Selecting a Child Restraint  
System (CRS)  
When selecting a Child Restraint System  
for your child, always:  
śꢀ Make sure the CRS has a label  
certifying that it meets the  
requirements of the Australian/New  
Zealand standards.  
WARNING  
śꢀ Extreme hazard! Do not use a  
rearward facing child restraint on a  
seat protected by an air bag in front  
of it!  
śꢀ NEVER install a child or infant  
restraint in the front passenger’s  
seat.  
śꢀ Select a Child Restraint System based  
on your child’s height and weight. The  
required label or the instructions for  
use typically provide this information.  
śꢀ Select a Child Restraint System that  
fits the vehicle seating position where  
it will be used.  
Placing a rear-facing child restraint in  
the front seat can result in SERIOUS  
INJURY or DEATH if the child  
restraint is struck by an inflating air  
bag.  
Rearward-facing Child Restraint System  
śꢀ Read and comply with the warnings  
and instructions for installation and  
use provided with the Child Restraint  
System.  
A rearward-facing Child Restraint System  
provides restraint with the seating  
surface against the back of the child. The  
harness system holds the child in place,  
and in an accident, acts to keep the child  
positioned in the Child Restraint Systems  
and reduce the stress to the fragile neck  
and spinal cord.  
All children under the age of one year  
must always ride in a rearward-facing  
Child Restraint System. There are  
different types of rearward-facing Child  
Restraint Systems: infant-only Child  
Restraint Systems can only be used  
rearward-facing. Convertible and 3-in-1  
Child Restraint Systems typically have  
higher height and weight limits for the  
rearward-facing position, allowing you  
to keep your child rearward-facing for a  
longer period of time.  
Child Restraint System types  
There are three main types of Child  
Restraint Systems: rearward-facing,  
forward-facing and booster Child  
Restraint Systems.  
They are classified according to the  
child’s age, height and weight.  
Keep using Child Restraint Systems in  
the rearward-facing position as long as  
children fit within the height and weight  
limits allowed by the Child Restraint  
System’s manufacturer.

Booster seats  
A booster seat is a Child Restraint  
System designed to improve the fit of  
the vehicle’s seat belt system. A booster  
seat positions the seat belt so that it  
fits properly over the stronger parts of  
your child’s body. Keep your children in  
booster seats until they are big enough  
to fit in a seat belt properly.  
For a seat belt to fit properly, the lap belt  
must lie comfortable across the upper  
thighs, not the stomach. The shoulder  
belt should lie comfortable across the  
shoulder and chest and not across the  
neck or face. Children under age 13  
must always be properly restrained to  
minimise the risk of injury in an accident,  
sudden stop or sudden manoeuvre.  
ONE1031038AU  
Forward-facing Child Restraint System  
A forward-facing Child Restraint System  
provides restraint for the child’s body  
with a harness. Keep children in a  
forward-facing Child Restraint System  
with a harness until they reach the top  
height or weight limit allowed by your  
Child Restraint System’s manufacturer.  
Once your child outgrows the forward-  
facing Child Restraint System, your child  
is ready for a booster seat.

Seats & Safety System  
śꢀ Make sure the Child Restraint System  
is firmly secured. After installing a  
Child Restraint System to the vehicle,  
push and pull the seat forward and  
from side-to-side to verify that it is  
securely attached to the seat. A Child  
Restraint System secured with a seat  
belt should be installed as firmly as  
possible. However, some side-to-side  
movement can be expected.  
Installing a Child Restraint  
System (CRS)  
WARNING

WARNING  
Do not attempt to install a Child  
Restraint System using ISOFIX  
anchorages in the rear centre  
seating position. There are no ISOFIX  
anchorages provided for this seat.  
Using the outboard seat anchorages, for  
the CRS installation on the rear centre  
seating position, can damage the  
anchorages.  
The ISOFIX system holds a Child  
Restraint System during driving and in  
an accident. This system is designed  
to make installation of the Child  
Restraint System easier and reduce  
the possibility of improperly installing  
your Child Restraint System. The ISOFIX  
system uses anchors in the vehicle and  
attachments on the Child Restraint  
System. The ISOFIX system eliminates  
the need to use seat belts to secure the  
Child Restraint System to the rear seats.  
ISOFIX anchorages are metal bars built  
into the vehicle. There are two lower  
anchors for each ISOFIX seating position  
that will accommodate a Child Restraint  
System with lower attachments.  
To use the ISOFIX system in your vehicle,  
you must have a Child Restraint System

everyone! Even with air bags, you can be seriously injured or killed in a collision if  
you are improperly belted or not wearing your seat belt when the air bag inflates.  
NEVER place a child in any Child Restraint System or booster seat in the front  
passenger seat, unless the air bag is deactivated.  
An inflating air bag could forcefully strike the infant or child causing serious or fatal  
injuries.  
ABC - Always Buckle Children under age 13 in the back seat. It is the safest place  
for children of any age to ride. If a child age 13 or older must be seated in the front  
seat, he or she must be properly belted and the seat should be moved as far back as  
possible.  
All occupants should sit upright with the seatback in an upright position, centred on  
the seat cushion with their seat belt on, legs comfortably extended and their feet on  
the floor until the vehicle is parked and the vehicle is turned off. If an occupant is out  
of position during an accident, the rapidly deploying air bag may forcefully contact  
the occupant causing serious or fatal injuries.  
You and your passengers should never sit or lean unnecessarily close to the air bags  
or lean against the door or centre console.  
Move your seat as far back as possible from front air bags, whilst still maintaining  
control of the vehicle.

WARNING  
To reduce the risk of serious injury or  
death from an inflating curtain air bag,  
take the following precautions:  
śꢀ All seat occupants must wear  
seat belts at all times to help keep  
occupants positioned properly.  
śꢀ Properly secure Child Restraint  
System as far away from the door as  
possible.

ONE1031056  
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  
certain side impact collisions.  
The curtain air bags are designed to  
deploy during certain side impact  
collisions, depending on the crash  
severity.

Seats & Safety System  
The SRSCM (Supplemental Restraint  
System Control Module) continually  
monitors all SRS components whilst the  
Start/Stop button is ON to determine if a  
crash impact is severe enough to require  
air bag deployment or pre-tensioner seat  
belt deployment.  
How does the air bags system  
operate?  
SRS warning light  
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System)  
air bag warning light on the instrument  
panel displays the air bag symbol  
depicted in the illustration. The system  
checks the air bag electrical system for  
malfunctions. The light indicates that  
there is a potential problem with your  
air bag system, which could include  
your side and/or curtain air bags used  
for rollover protection (if equipped with  
rollover sensor).  
ONE1031044L  
The SRS consists of the following  
components:

If any of the following conditions occur,  
your SRS is malfunctioning:  
śꢀ The light does not turn on for  
approximately three to six seconds  
when the Start/Stop button is in the  
ON position.  
śꢀ The light stays on after illuminating  
for approximately three to six  
seconds.  
śꢀ The light comes on whilst the vehicle  
is in motion.  
śꢀ The light blinks when the vehicle is  
running.  
We recommend that an authorised  
HYUNDAI dealer inspect the SRS  
as soon as possible if any of these  
conditions occur.  
3-56  
03  
During a moderate to severe frontal  
collision, sensors will detect the  
vehicle’s rapid deceleration. If the rate of  
deceleration is high enough, the control  
unit will inflate the front air bags, at the  
time and with the force needed.  
śꢀ In addition to inflating in serious side  
collisions, vehicles equipped with a  
rollover sensor, side and/or curtain air  
bags and front centre side air bag will  
inflate if the sensing system detects a  
rollover.  
The front air bags help protect the driver  
and front passenger by responding to  
frontal impacts in which seat belts alone  
cannot provide adequate restraint. When  
needed, the side air bags help provide  
protection in the event of a side impact  
or rollover by supporting the side upper  
body area.  
śꢀ Air bags are activated (able to inflate  
if necessary) only when the Start/Stop  
button is in the ON or START position,  
and it can be activated within about 3  
minutes after the vehicle is turned off.  
When a rollover is detected, curtain  
air bags will remain inflated longer to  
help provide protection from ejection,  
especially when used in conjunction  
with the seat belts. (if equipped with a  
rollover sensor)  
śꢀ To help provide protection, the air  
bags must inflate rapidly. The speed  
of air bag inflation is a consequence  
of extremely short time in which  
to inflate the air bag between the  
occupant and the vehicle structures  
before the occupant impacts those  
structures. This speed of inflation  
reduces the risk of serious or life-  
threatening injuries and is thus a  
necessary part of air bag design.  
śꢀ Air bags inflate in the event of certain  
frontal or side collisions to help  
protect the occupants from serious  
physical injury.  
However, the rapid air bag inflation  
can also cause injuries which can  
include facial abrasions, bruises and  
broken bones because the inflation  
speed also causes the air bags to  
expand with a great deal of force.  
śꢀ Generally, air bags are designed to  
inflate based upon the severity of a  
collision, its direction, or etc. These  
two factors determine whether  
the sensors produce an electronic  
deployment/inflation signal.  
śꢀ There are even circumstances under  
which contact with the air bag can  
cause fatal injuries, especially if the  
occupant is positioned excessively  
close to the air bag.  
You can take steps to reduce the risk of  
being injured by an inflating air bag. The  
greatest risk is sitting too close to the air  
bag. An air bag needs space to inflate.  
It is recommended that drivers sit as far  
as possible between the centre of the  
steering wheel and the chest whilst still  
maintaining control of the vehicle.  
śꢀ The front air bags will completely  
inflate and deflate in an instant. It is  
virtually impossible for you to see the  
air bags inflate during an accident. It is  
much more likely that you will simply  
see the deflated air bags hanging out  
of their storage compartments after  
the collision.

and the ability to steer or operate other  
controls.  
OIK037082R  
Upon deployment, tear seam molded  
directly into the pad cover will separate  
under pressure from the expansion of the  
air bags. Further opening of the covers  
allows full inflation of the air bags.  
A fully inflated air bag, in combination  
with a properly worn seat belt, slows the  
driver’s or the front passenger’s forward  
motion, reducing the risk of head and  
chest injury.  
WARNING  
To prevent objects from becoming  
dangerous projectiles when the  
passenger’s air bag inflates:  
śꢀ Do not install or place any objects  
(drink holder, CD holder, stickers,  
etc.) on the front passenger’s panel  
above the glove box where the  
passenger’s air bag is located.

Noise and smoke from inflating air  
What to expect after an air bag  
inflates  
bag  
When the air bags inflate, they make a  
loud noise and may produce smoke and  
powder in the air inside of the vehicle.  
This is normal and is a result of the  
ignition of the air bag inflator. After the  
air bag inflates, you may feel substantial  
discomfort in breathing because of the  
contact of your chest with both the seat  
belt and the air bag, as well as from  
breathing the smoke and powder. The  
powder may aggravate asthma for some  
people. If you experience breathing  
problems after an air bag deployment,  
seek medical attention immediately.  
Though the smoke and powder are  
nontoxic, they may cause irritation to  
the skin, eyes, nose, throat, etc. If this is  
the case, wash and rinse with cold water  
immediately and seek medical attention  
if the symptoms persist.  
After a frontal or side air bag inflates, it  
will deflate very quickly. Air bag inflation  
will not prevent the driver from seeing  
out of the windscreen or being able  
to steer. Curtain air bags may remain  
partially inflated for some time after they  
deploy.  
WARNING  
After an air bag inflates, take the  
following precautions:  
śꢀ Open your windows and doors as  
soon as possible after impact to  
reduce prolonged exposure to the  
smoke and powder released by the  
inflating air bag.  
śꢀ Do not touch the air bag storage  
area’s internal components  
immediately after an air bag has  
inflated. The parts that come into  
contact with an inflating air bag may  
be very hot.  
śꢀ Always wash exposed skin areas  
thoroughly with cold water and mild  
soap.  
śꢀ We recommend that an authorised  
HYUNDAI dealer replace the air bag  
immediately after deployment. Air  
bags are designed to be used only  
once.  
3-59  
Seats & Safety System  
Do not install a Child Restraint  
System on the front passenger seat  
Why didn’t my air bag go off in a  
collision?  
There are certain types of accidents in  
which the air bag would not be expected  
to provide additional protection. These  
include rear impacts, second or third  
collisions in multiple impact accidents,  
as well as low speed impacts. Damage to  
the vehicle indicates a collision energy  
absorption, and is not an indicator of  
whether or not an air bag should have  
inflated.  
OYDESA2042  
Air bag collision sensors  
Never install a Child Restraint System in  
the front passenger seat, unless the air  
bag is deactivated  
WARNING  
To reduce the risk of an air bag  
deploying unexpectedly and causing  
serious injury or death:  
WARNING  
śꢀ Extreme hazard! Do not use a  
rearward facing child restraint on a  
seat protected by an air bag in front  
of it!  
śꢀ NEVER use a rearward facing Child  
Restraint System on a seat protected  
by an AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or  
SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can  
occur.  
śꢀ Do not hit or allow any objects to  
impact the locations where air bags  
or sensors are installed.  
śꢀ Do not perform maintenance on or  
around the air bag sensors. If the  
location or angle of the sensors is  
altered, the air bags may deploy  
when they should not or may not  
deploy when they should.  
śꢀ Never put a child restraint in the  
front passenger’s seat. If the front  
passenger air bag inflates, it would  
cause serious or fatal injuries.  
śꢀ Installing bumper guards with non-  
genuine Hyundai or non-equivalent  
parts may adversely affect the  
collision and airbag deployment  
performance.  
To ensure correct function of the  
airbag system, we recommend to  
replace the bumper with genuine  
Hyundai part or the equivalent (of  
the genuine part) specified for your  
vehicle.  
śꢀ Press the Start/Stop button to the  
OFF or ACC position and wait for 3  
minutes when the vehicle is being  
towed to prevent inadvertent air bag  
deployment.  
śꢀ We recommend that all air bag  
repairs are conducted by an  
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.

Air bag inflation conditions  
Side and curtain air bags and the front  
centre side airbag are designed to  
inflate when an impact is detected by  
side collision sensors depending on the  
severity of impact resulting from a side  
impact collision.  
Although the driver’s and front  
passenger’s air bags are designed to  
inflate in frontal collisions, they also may  
inflate in other types of collisions if the  
front impact sensors detect a sufficient  
impact. Side and curtain air bags and  
the front centre side airbag are designed  
to inflate in side impact collisions, but  
they may inflate in other collisions if the  
side impact sensors detect a sufficient  
impact.  
ONE1031063  
Front air bags  
Front air bags are designed to inflate  
in a frontal collision depending on the  
severity of impact of the front collision.  
Also, the side and curtain air bags and  
the front centre side airbag are designed  
to inflate when a rollover is detected by a  
rollover sensor (if equipped with rollover  
sensor).  
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by  
bumps or objects on unimproved roads,  
the air bags may deploy. Drive carefully  
on unimproved roads or on surfaces not  
designed for vehicle traffic to prevent  
unintended air bag deployment.

impact collisions, because occupants  
move in the direction of the collision,  
and thus in side impacts, front air bag  
deployment would not provide additional  
occupant protection.  
However, side and curtain air bags and  
front centre side air bag may inflate  
depending on the severity of impact.  
In certain low-speed collisions the air  
bags may not deploy. The air bags are  
designed not to deploy in such cases  
because they may not provide benefits  
beyond the protection of the seat belts.  
ONE1031065JP  
Front air bags are not designed to inflate  
in rear collisions, because occupants  
are moved rearward by the force of the  
impact. In this case, inflated air bags  
would not provide any additional benefit.  
ONE1031068JP  
In an angled collision, the force of impact  
may direct the occupants in a direction  
where the air bags would not be able to  
provide any additional benefit, and thus  
the sensors may not deploy any air bags.

Seats & Safety System  
Information  
With rollover sensor  
The side and curtain air bags and front  
centre side air bag may inflate in a  
rollover situation, when it is detected by  
the rollover sensor.  
Information  
Without rollover sensor  
ONE1031069JP  
The side and/or curtain air bags and the  
front centre side air bag may inflate when  
the vehicle is rolled over by a side impact  
collision, if the vehicle is equipped with  
side and/or curtain air bags.  
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 “underride” situation  
because deceleration forces that are  
detected by sensors may be significantly  
reduced by such “underride” collisions.  
ONE1031071K  
Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle  
collides with objects such as utility poles  
or trees, where the point of impact is  
concentrated and the collision energy is  
absorbed by the vehicle structure.  
ONE1031070  
Front air bags may not inflate in  
rollover accidents because front air bag  
deployment would not provide additional  
occupant protection.

SRS care  
WARNING  
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free  
and there are no parts you can safely  
service by yourself. If the SRS air bag  
warning light does not illuminate when  
the Start/Stop button is in the ON  
position, or continuously remains on,  
we recommend that the system be  
immediately inspected by an authorised  
HYUNDAI dealer.  
We recommend any work on the SRS  
system, such as removing, installing,  
repairing, or any work on the steering  
wheel, the front passenger’s panel, front  
seats and roof rails be performed by an  
authorised HYUNDAI dealer. Improper  
handling of the SRS system may result in  
serious personal injury.  
To reduce the risk of serious injury or  
death take the following precautions:  
śꢀ Do not attempt to modify or  
disconnect the SRS components or  
wiring, including the addition of any  
kind of badges to the pad covers or  
modifications to the body structure.  
śꢀ Do not place objects over or near  
the air bag modules on the steering  
wheel, instrument panel, and the  
front passenger’s panel above the  
glove box.  
śꢀ Clean the air bag pad covers with  
a soft cloth moistened with plain  
water. Solvents or cleaners could  
adversely affect the air bag covers  
and proper deployment of the  
system.  
śꢀ We recommend that inflated air  
bags be replaced by an authorised  
HYUNDAI dealer.  
śꢀ If components of the air bag system  
must be discarded, or if the vehicle  
must be scrapped, certain safety  
precautions must be observed.  
We recommend that you consult  
an authorised HYUNDAI dealer for  
the necessary information. Failure  
to follow these precautions could  
increase the risk of personal injury.

Seats & Safety System  
Additional safety precautions  
Air bag warning labels  
Passengers should not move out of  
or change seats whilst the vehicle is  
moving. A passenger who is not wearing  
a seat belt during a crash or emergency  
stop can be thrown against the inside of  
the vehicle, against other occupants, or  
be ejected from the vehicle.  
Do not use any accessories on seat  
belts. Devices claiming to improve  
occupant comfort or reposition the seat  
belt can reduce the protection provided  
by the seat belt and increase the chance  
of serious injury in a crash.  
Do not modify the front seats.  
Modification of the front seats could  
interfere with the operation of the  
supplemental restraint system sensing  
components or side air bags.  
ONE1031072R  
Air bag warning labels are attached to  
alert the passengers of potential risks of  
the air bag system.  
Be sure to read all of the information  
about the air bags that are installed on  
your vehicle in this Owner’s Manual.  
Do not place items under the front  
seats. Placing items under the front seats  
could interfere with the operation of the  
supplemental restraint system sensing  
components and wiring harnesses.  
Do not cause impact to the doors.  
Impact to the doors when the Start/Stop  
button is in the ON or START position  
may cause the air bags to inflate.  
Adding equipment to or modifying  
your air bag equipped vehicle  
If you modify your vehicle by changing  
your vehicle’s frame, bumper system,  
front end or side sheet metal or ride  
height, this may affect the operation of  
your vehicle’s air bag system.
