IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

You will find many safety precautions

and recommendations throughout

this section, and throughout this man-

ual.The safety precautions in this sec-

tion are among the most important.

Always wear your seat belt

A seat belt is your best protection in

all types of accidents. Air bags are

designed to supplement seat belts,

not replace them. So even though

your vehicle is equipped with air bags,

ALWAYS make sure you and your

passengers wear your seat belts, and

wear them properly.

properly without a booster seat.

grooming, other passengers, and

using cellular phones, to name a few.

Drivers can become distracted when

they take their eyes and attention off

the road or their hands off the wheel

to focus on activities other than driv-

ing. To reduce your risk of distraction

and an accident:

Air bag hazards

While 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 prop-

erly restrained. Infants, young chil-

dren, and short adults are at the

greatest risk of being injured by an

inflating air bag. Follow all instruc-

tions and warnings in this manual.

• ALWAYS set up your mobile devices

(i.e., MP3 players, phones, naviga-

tion units, etc.) when your vehicle is

parked or safely stopped.

• ONLY use your mobile device when

allowed by laws and conditions per-

mit safe use. NEVER text or email

while driving. Most countries have

laws prohibiting drivers from texting.

Some countries and cities also pro-

hibit drivers from using handheld

phones.

2-2

• NEVER let the use of a mobile

device distract you from driving. You

have a responsibility to your passen-

gers 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.

Keep your vehicle in safe condi-

tion

Having a tire blowout or a mechanical

failure can be extremely hazardous.To

reduce the possibility of such prob-

lems, check your tire pressures and

condition frequently, and perform all

regularly scheduled maintenance.

2

Control your speed

Excessive speed is a major factor in

crash injuries and deaths. Generally,

the higher the speed, the greater the

risk, but serious injuries can also occur

at lower speeds. Never drive faster

than is safe for current conditions,

regardless of the maximum speed

posted.

Air bags

Safety precautions

(Continue)

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. It is rec-

ommended that drivers allow at least

25 cm (10 inches) between the cen-

ter of the steering wheel and their

chest.

Adjusting the seats so that you are sit-

ting in a safe, comfortable position

plays an important role in driver and

passenger safety together with the

seat belts and air bags in an accident.

• Hold the steering wheel by the

rim with hands at the 9 o’clock

and 3 o’clock positions to min-

imize the risk of injuries to

your hands and arms.

• NEVER place anything or any-

one between the air bag.

WARNING

• Do not allow the front passen-

ger to place feet or legs on the

dashboard to minimize the risk

of leg injuries.

Do not use a cushion that

reduces friction between the seat

and the passenger. The passen-

ger's hips may slide under the

lap portion of the seat belt during

an accident or a sudden stop.

Serious or fatal internal injuries

could result because the seat

belt cannot operate normally.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious

injury or death from an inflating

air bag, take the following pre-

cautions:

Seat belts

Always fasten your seat belt before

starting any trip.

• Adjust the driver’s seat as far

to the rear as possible while

maintaining the ability to main-

tain full control of the vehicle.

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.

• Adjust the front passenger

seat as far to the rear as possi-

ble.

(Continue)

WARNING

• Use extreme caution when

picking small objects trapped

under the seats or between the

seat and the center console.

Your hands might be cut or

injured by the sharp edges of

the seats mechanism.

WARNING

Take the following precautions

when adjusting your seat belt:

2

Take the following precautions

when adjusting your seat:

• NEVER use one seat belt for

more than one occupant.

• NEVER attempt to adjust the

seat while the vehicle is mov-

ing. The seat could respond

with unexpected movement

and may cause loss of vehicle

control resulting in an acci-

dent.

• Always position the seatback

upright with the lap portion of

the seat belt snug and low

across the hips.

• If there are occupants in the

rear seats, be careful while

adjusting the front seat posi-

tion.

• NEVER allow children or small

infants to ride in a passenger’s

lap.

• 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.

• Do not route the seat belt

across your neck, across sharp

edges, or reroute the shoulder

strap away from your body.

WARNING

To prevent injury:

• Do not adjust your seat while

wearing your seat belt.

Moving the seat cushion for-

ward may cause strong pres-

sure on your abdomen.

• Do not allow the seat belt to

become caught or jammed.

• Do not allow anything to inter-

fere with the normal position

and proper locking of the seat-

back.

• Do not allow your hands or

fingers to get caught in the

seat mechanisms while the

seat is moving.

• 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.

Headrest

(Continued)

CAUTION

The vehicle’s front and rear seats

have adjustable headrests.The head-

rests provide comfort for passengers,

but more importantly they are

designed to help protect passengers

from whiplash and other neck and

spinal injuries during an accident,

especially in a rear impact collision.

• Adjust the headrests so the

middle of the headrests is at

the same height as the height

of the top of the eyes (see dia-

gram).

To prevent damage, NEVER hit

or pull on the headrests.

CAUTION

When there is no occupant in

the rear seats, adjust the height

of the headrest to the lowest

position. The rear seat headrest

can reduce the visibility of the

SEAT BELTS

This section describes how to use the

seat belts properly. It also describes

some of the things not to do when

using seat belts.

(Continued)

WARNING

• Do not wear the shoulder belt

under your arm or behind your

back.

Seat belts must be used by ALL

passengers whenever the vehi-

cle is moving.Take the following

precautions when adjusting and

wearing seat belts:

2

• Never wear a seat belt over

fragile objects. If there is a

sudden stop or impact, the

seat belt can damage it.

Seat belt safety precautions

Always fasten your seat belt and

make sure all passengers have fas-

tened their seat belts before starting

any trip. Air bags (if equipped) are

designed to supplement the seat belt

as an additional safety device, but

they are not a substitute. Most coun-

tries require all occupants of a vehicle

to wear seat belts.

• ALWAYS properly restrain

children under age 13 in the

rear seats.

• Do not use the seat belt if it is

twisted. A twisted seat belt

will not protect you properly

in an accident.

• NEVER allow children to ride

in the front passenger seat. If

a child age 13 or older must be

seated in the front seat, move

the seat as far back as possi-

ble and properly restrain them

in the seat belt.

• Do not use a seat belt if the

webbing or hardware is dam-

aged.

• Do not latch the seat belt into

the buckles of other seats.

• NEVER allow an infant or child

to be carried on an occupant’s

lap.

• NEVER unfasten the seat belt

while driving. This may cause

loss of vehicle control result-

ing in an accident.

• NEVER ride with the seatback

reclined when the vehicle is

moving.

• Make sure there is nothing in

the buckle interfering with the

seat belt latch mechanism.

This may prevent the seat belt

from fastening securely.

• Do not allow children to share

a seat or seat belt.

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 the seat

belts fit tightly against the occupant's

body in certain frontal collisions. The

pre-tensioner seat belts may be acti-

vated in crashes where the frontal col-

lision is severe enough.

Safety system of your vehicle

WARNING

Pre-Tensioner Seat Belts that

malfunction may not protect you

properly during an accident.

Take the following precautions:

Do not touch the pre-tensioner

seat belt assemblies for several

minutes after they have been

activated. When the pre-ten-

sioner seat belt mechanism

fires during a collision the pre-

tensioner becomes hot and can

burn you.

• Always wear your seat belt

and sit properly in your seat.

• Do not use the seat belt if it is

loose or twisted. A loose or

twisted seat belt will not pro-

tect you properly in an acci-

dent.

OLMB033039

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 acti-

vate and pull the seat belt into tighter

contact against the occupant's body.

CAUTION

• Do not place anything near the

buckle. This may adversely

affect the buckle and cause it

to function improperly.

Body work on the front area of

the vehicle may damage the

pre-tensioner seat belt system.

Therefore, we recommend that

the system be serviced by an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

• Always replace your pre-ten-

sioners after activation or an

accident.

If the system senses excessive ten-

sion on the driver’s or passenger's

seat belt when the pre-tensioner acti-

vates, the load limiter inside the pre-

tensioner will release some of the

pressure on the affected seat belt. (if

equipped)

• NEVER inspect, service, repair

or replace the pre-tensioners

yourself. This must be done by

an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

• Do not hit the seat belt assem-

blies.

cautions

Infant and small children

Seat belt use during pregnancy

Most countries have child restraint

laws which require children to travel

in approved child restraint devices,

including booster seats. The age at

which seat belts can be used instead

of child restraints differs among

countries, so you should be aware of

the specific requirements in your

country, and where you are travel-

ling. Infant and child restraints must

be properly placed and installed in a

rear seat. For more information refer

to the “Child Restraint Systems” in

this chapter.

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, rout-

ed between your breasts and away

from your neck. Place the lap belt

below your belly so that it fits SNUGLY

across your hips and pelvic bone,

under the rounded part of the belly.

OLMB033038

Routing the seat belt webbing

through the rear seat belt guides will

prevent the belts from being trapped

behind or under the seats when the

rear seats are folded down.

WARNING

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of serious

injury or death to an unborn

child during an accident, preg-

nant 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.

When using the seat belt, use it

after taking it out of the guides. If

you pull the seat belt when it is

stored in the guides, it may dam-

age the guides and belt webbing.

2-34

Small children are best protected

from injury in an accident when prop-

erly restrained in the rear seat by a

child restraint system that meets the

requirements of the Safety Standards

of your country. Before buying any

child restraint system, make sure that

it has a label certifying that it meets

Safety Standard of your country. The

restraint must be appropriate for your

child's height and weight. Check the

label on the child restraint for this

information. Refer to “Child Restraint

Systems” in this chapter.

Larger children

WARNING

Children under age 13 and who are

too large for a booster seat must

always occupy the rear seat and use

the available lap/shoulder belts. A

seat belt should lie across the upper

thighs and be snug across the shoul-

der and chest to restrain the child

safely. Check belt fit periodically. A

child's squirming could put the belt

out of position. Children are afforded

the most safety in the event of an

accident when they are restrained by

a proper restraint system and/or seat

belts in the rear seat.

ALWAYS properly restrain infants

and small children in a child

restraint appropriate for the

child’s height and weight.

2

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 acci-

dent will tear the child from your

arms and throw the child against

the interior of the vehicle.

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 rear-

most position.

If the shoulder belt portion slightly

touches the child’s neck or face, try

placing the child closer to the center

of the vehicle. If the shoulder belt still

touches their face or neck they need

to be returned to an appropriate

booster seat.

2-35

Safety system of your vehicle

The more the seatback is reclined,

the greater chance the passenger’s

hips will slide under the lap belt or

the passenger’s neck will strike the

shoulder belt.

Seat belt use and injured people

WARNING

A seat belt should be used when an

injured person is being transported.

Consult a physician for specific rec-

ommendations.

• Always make sure larger chil-

dren’s seat belts are worn and

properly adjusted.

• NEVER allow the shoulder

belt to contact the child’s

neck or face.

WARNING

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.

• NEVER ride with a reclined

seatback when the vehicle is

moving.

• Do not allow more than one

child to use a single seat belt.

• Riding with a reclined seatback

increases your chance of seri-

ous or fatal injuries in the event

of a collision or sudden stop.

Do not lie down

Sitting in a reclined position when

the vehicle is in motion can be dan-

gerous. Even when buckled up, the

protections of your restraint system

(seat belts and/or air bags) is greatly

reduced by reclining your seatback.

• Drivers and passengers should

always sit well back in their

seats, properly belted, and with

the seatbacks upright.

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.

2-36

When to replace seat belts

Care of seat belts

The entire seat belt assembly or

assemblies should be replaced if the

vehicle has been involved in an acci-

dent. This should be done even if no

damage is visible. We recommend

that you consult an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer.

Seat belt systems should never be

disassembled or modified. In addi-

tion, care should be taken to assure

that seat belts and belt hardware are

not damaged by seat hinges, doors

or other abuse.

2

Periodic inspection

All seat belts should be inspected

periodically for wear or damage of

any kind. Any damaged parts should

be replaced as soon as possible.

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 solu-

tion and warm water. Bleach, dye,

strong detergents or abrasives

should not be used because they

may damage and weaken the fabric.

laws which require children to travel

in approved child restraint devices.

The laws governing the age or

height/weight restrictions at which

seat belts can be used instead of

child restraints differs among coun-

tries, so you should be aware of the

specific requirements in your coun-

try, and where you are travelling.

Infants and younger children must be

restrained in an appropriate rear-fac-

ing or forward-facing CRS that has

first been properly secured to the

rear seat of the vehicle. Read and

comply with the instructions for

installation and use provided by the

manufacturer of the child restraint.

WARNING

Always properly restrain chil-

dren in the rear seats of the

vehicle.

Children of all ages are safer

when restrained in the rear seat.

A child riding in the front pas-

senger seat can be forcefully

struck by an inflating air bag

resulting in SERIOUS INJURY

or DEATH.

Child restraint systems must be

properly placed and installed in the

rear seat. You must use a commer-

cially available child restraint system

that meets the requirements of the

Safety Standards of your country.

WARNING

An improperly secured child

restraint can increase the risk

of SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH

in an accident. Always take the

following precautions when

using a child restraint system:

Children under age 13 must always

ride in the rear seats and must

always be properly restrained to min-

imize the risk of injury in an accident,

sudden stop or sudden maneuver.

According to accident statistics, chil-

dren are safer when properly

restrained in the rear seats than in

the front seat. Even with air bags,

children can be seriously injured

or killed. Children too large for a

child restraint must use the seat belts

provided.

Child restraint systems are generally

designed to be secured in a vehicle

seat by lap belt or the lap belt portion

of a lap/shoulder belt, or by a top-

tether anchorage and/or ISOFIX

lower anchorage in the rear seats of

the vehicle.

• NEVER install a child or infant

restraint in the front passen-

2-39

Safety system of your vehicle

Keep using restraints in the rear-fac-

ing position as long as children fit

within the height and weight limits

allowed by the child restraint’s manu-

facturer. It’s the best way to keep them

safe. Once your child has outgrown

the rear-facing child restraint, your

child is ready for a forward-facing

child restraint with a harness.

OLMB033041

OLMB033042

A rear-facing child restraint provides

restraint with the seating surface

against the back of the child. The har-

ness system holds the child in place,

and in an accident, acts to keep the

child positioned in the restraint and

reduce the stress to the fragile neck

and spinal cord.

Forward-facing child restraints

A forward-facing child restraint pro-

vides restraint for the child’s body with

a harness. Keep children in a forward-

facing child restraint with a harness

until they reach the top height or

weight limit allowed by your child

restraint’s manufacturer.

All children under age one must

always ride in a rear-facing child

restraint. There are different types of

rear-facing child restraints: infant-only

seats can only be used rear-facing.

Convertible and 3-in-1 child restraints

typically have higher height and

weight limits for the rear-facing posi-

tion, allowing you to keep your child

rear-facing for a longer period of time.

Once your child outgrows the forward-

facing child restraint, your child is

ready for a booster seat.

restraint and checking that the child

restraint fits properly in the rear of

this vehicle, you are ready to install

the child restraint according to the

manufacturer’s instruction. There are

three general steps in installing the

seat properly:

A booster seat is a restraint 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.

WARNING

2

Before installing your child

restraint always:

• Read and follow the instruc-

tions provided by the manu-

facturer of the child restraint.

• Properly secure the child restraint

to the vehicle. All child restraints

must be secured to the vehicle with

the lap belt or lap part of a lap/shoul-

der belt or with the ISOFIX top-teth-

er anchorage and/or ISOFIX lower

anchorage (if equipped).

For a seat belt to fit properly, the lap

belt must lie snugly across the upper

thighs, not the stomach. The shoulder

belt should lie snug across the shoul-

der and chest and not across the neck

or face. Children under age 13 must

always ride in the rear seats and must

always be properly restrained to mini-

mize the risk of injury in an accident,

sudden stop or sudden maneuver.

• Read and follow the instruc-

tions regarding child restraint

systems in this manual.

Failure to follow all warnings

and instructions could increase

the risk of the SERIOUS INJURY

or DEATH if an accident occurs.

• Make sure the child restraint is

firmly secured. After installing a

child restraint 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 secured with a seat

belt should be installed as firmly as

possible. However, some side-to-

side movement can be expected.

WARNING

If the vehicle headrest prevents

proper installation of a child

seat (as described in the child

seat system manual), the head-

rest of the respective seating

position shall be readjusted or

entirely removed.

2-41

Safety system of your vehicle

• Secure the child in the child

restraint. Make sure the child is

properly strapped in the child

restraint according to the child

restraint manufacturer’s instructions.

The child restraint manufacturer will

provide you with instructions on how

to use the child restraint with its

attachments for the ISOFIX lower

anchorages.

ISOFIX lower anchorage and

top-tether anchorage (ISOFIX

anchorages system) for children

(if equipped)

The ISOFIX system holds a child

restraint during driving and in an acci-

dent. This system is designed to

make installation of the child restraint

easier and reduce the possibility of

improperly installing your child

restraint. The ISOFIX system uses

anchors in the vehicle and attach-

ments on the child restraint. The

ISOFIX system eliminates the need

to use seat belts to secure the child

restraint to the rear seats.

WARNING

A child restraint in a closed

vehicle can become very hot.To

prevent burns, check the seat-

ing surface and buckles before

placing your child in the child

restraint.

Lower anchors are metal bars built

into the vehicle. There are two lower

anchors for each ISOFIX seating

position that will accommodate a

child restraint with lower attachments.

To use the ISOFIX system in your

vehicle, you must have a child

restraint with ISOFIX attachments.

(An ISOFIX-seat may only be installed

if it has vehicle-specific or universal

approval in accordance with the

requirements of ECE-R 44.)

WARNING

To install a ISOFIX-compatible child

restraint in either of the rear outboard

seating positions:

Take the following precautions

when using the ISOFIX system:

• Read and follow all installation

instructions provided with

your child restraint system.

1. Move the seat belt buckle away

from the ISOFIX lower anchorages.

2. Move any other objects away from

the anchors that could prevent a

secure connection between the

child restraint and the ISOFIX lower

anchorages.

• To prevent the child from

reaching and taking hold of

unretracted seat belts, buckle

all unused rear seat belts and

retract the seat belt webbing

behind the child. Children can

be strangled if a shoulder belt

becomes wrapped around

their neck and the seat belt

tightens.

OLMB033051

Both rear outboard seats are

equipped with a pair of ISOFIX lower

anchorages as well as a correspon-

ding top-tether anchorage on the

back side of the rear seats.

3. Place the child restraint on the vehi-

cle seat, then attach the seat to the

ISOFIX lower anchorages accord-

ing to the instructions provided by

the child restraint manufacturer.

(CRS with universal approval to ECE-

R44 need to be fixed additionally with

a top-tether strap connected to the

corresponding top-tether anchorage

point on the back side of the rear

seats.)

4. Follow the child restraint instruc-

tions for properly adjusting and

tightening the lower attachments on

the child restraint to the ISOFIX

lower anchorages.

• NEVER attach more than one

child restraint to a single

anchorage. This could cause

the anchor or attachment to

come loose or break.

• Always have the ISOFIX sys-

tem inspected by your dealer

after an accident. An accident

can damage the ISOFIX sys-

tem and may not properly

secure the child restraint.

ISOFIX lower anchorages are locat-

ed between the seatback and the

seat cushion of the rear seat left and

right outboard seating positions.

• Read and follow all installa-

tion instructions provided

with your child restraint sys-

tem.

Under no circumstances are

they to be used for adult seat

belts or harnesses or for

attaching other items or

equipment to the vehicle.

• NEVER attach more than one

child restraint to a single

ISOFIX top-tether anchorage.

This could cause the anchor-

age or attachment to come

loose or break.

OLMB033047

Installing the top-tether strap

First, secure the child restraint with

the ISOFIX lower anchorages or the

seat belt. If the child restraint manu-

facturer recommends that the top-

tether strap be attached, attach and

tighten the top-tether strap to the

ISOFIX top-tether anchorage.

• Do not attach the top-tether

strap to anything other than

the correct ISOFIX top-tether

anchorage. It may not work

properly if attached to some-

thing else.

ISOFIX top-tether anchorages are

AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

2

ALWAYS use seat belts and child restraints - every trip, every time,

everyone! Even with air bags, you can be seriously injured or killed in

a collision if you are improperly belted or not wearing your seat belt

when the air bag inflates.

The front air bags are designed to

supplement the three-point seat

belts. For these air bags to provide

protection, the seat belts must be

worn at all times when driving.

NEVER place a child in any child restraint or booster seat in the front

passenger seat. An inflating air bag could forcefully strike the infant

or child causing serious or fatal injuries.

You can be severely injured or killed

in an accident if you are not wearing

a seat belt. Air bags are designed to

supplement seat belts, but do not

replace them. Also, air bags are not

designed to deploy in every collision.

In some accidents, the seat belts are

the only restraint protecting you.

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 posi-

tion, centered on the seat cushion with their seat belt on, legs com-

fortably extended and their feet on the floor until the vehicle is parked

and the engine is turned off. If an occupant is out of position during

an accident, the rapidly deploying air bag may forcefully contact the

occupant causing serious or fatal injuries.

You and your passengers should never sit or lean unnecessarily

close to the air bags or lean against the door or center console.

Move your seat as far back as possible from front air bags, while still

maintaining control of the vehicle. It is recommended that drivers

allow at least 25 cm (10 in) between the center of the steering wheel

and the chest.

precautions:

Your vehicle is equipped with a

Supplemental Restraint System

(SRS) and lap/shoulder belts at both

the driver and passenger seating

positions.

• Seat belts must be worn at all

times to help keep occupants

positioned properly.

The SRS consists of air bags which

are located in the center of the steer-

ing wheel and the passenger's side

front panel pad above the glove box.

OLMB033058

• Move your seat as far back as

possible from front air bags,

while still maintaining control

of the vehicle.

■ Passenger’s front air bag

The air bags are labeled with the let-

ters “AIR BAG” embossed on the pad

covers.

• Never lean against the door or

center console.

• Do not allow the front passen-

ger to place their feet or legs on

the dashboard.

• Do not allow the passenger to

ride in the front seat when the

front passenger’s air bag OFF

indicator is illuminated.

OLMB033059

The purpose of the SRS is to provide

the vehicle's driver and front passen-

gers with additional protection than

that offered by the seat belt system

alone in case of a frontal impact of

sufficient severity.

lowing precautions:

• Seat belts must be worn at all

times to help keep occupants

positioned properly.

• Do not install any accessories

on the side or near the side

impact air bags.

• Do not allow passengers to

lean their heads or bodies onto

doors, put their arms on the

doors, stretch their arms out of

the window, or place objects

between the doors and seats.

• Do not cause impact to the

doors when the ignition

switch is in the ON position or

this may cause the side air

bags to inflate.

• If the seat or seat cover is

damaged, we recommend that

the system be serviced by an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

• Hold the steering wheel at the 9

o’clock and 3 o’clock positions,

to minimize the risk of injuries

to your hands and arms.

• Do not use any accessory

What to expect after an air bag

inflates

WARNING

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 windshield or

being able to steer. Curtain air bags

may remain partially inflated for

some time after they deploy.

To prevent objects from becom-

ing dangerous projectiles when

the passenger's air bag inflates:

• Do not install or place any

objects (drink holder, CD

holder, stickers, etc.) on the

front passenger's panel above

the glove box where the pas-

senger's air bag is located.

OLMB033056

■ Passenger’s front air bag

WARNING

• Do not install a container of

liquid air freshener near the

instrument cluster or on the

instrument panel surface.

After an air bag inflates, take

the following precautions:

• Open your windows and

doors as soon as possible

after impact to reduce pro-

longed exposure to the smoke

and powder released by the

inflating air bag.

OLMB033057

• Do not touch the air bag stor-

age area’s internal compo-

nents immediately after an air

bag has inflated. The parts

that come into contact with an

inflating air bag may be very

hot.

After complete inflation, the air bag

of the ignition of the air bag inflator.

After the air bag inflates, you may

feel substantial discomfort in breath-

ing because of the contact of your

chest with both the seat belt and the

SRS care

WARNING

The SRS is virtually maintenance-

free and there are no parts you can

safely service by yourself. If the SRS

air bag warning light does not illumi-

nate when the ignition switch is in the

ON position, or continuously remains

on, we recommend that the system

be immediately inspected by an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

To reduce the risk of serious

injury or death take the follow-

ing precautions:

2

• Do not attempt to modify or

disconnect the SRS compo-

nents or wiring, including the

addition of any kind of badges

to the pad covers or modifica-

tions to the body structure.

We recommend any work on the

SRS system, such as removing,

installing, repairing, or any work on

the steering wheel, the front passen-

ger's panel, front seats and roof rails

be performed by an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer. Improper handling

of the SRS system may result in seri-

ous personal injury.

OLMB033076

• Do not place objects over or

near the air bag modules on

the steering wheel, instrument

panel, and the front passen-

ger's panel above the glove

box.

Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle

collides with objects such as utility

poles or trees, where the point of

impact is concentrated and the colli-

sion energy is absorbed by the vehi-

cle structure.

• 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 sys-

tem.

• We recommend that inflated

air bags be replaced by an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Additional safety precautions

(Continued)

Passengers should not move out of

or change seats while 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.

• If components of the air bag

system must be discarded, or if

the vehicle must be scrapped,

certain safety precautions

must be observed. Consult an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer for

the necessary information.

Failure to follow these precau-

tions could increase the risk of

personal injury.

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.

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 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 opera-

tion of the supplemental restraint sys-

tem sensing components and wiring

harnesses.

Do not cause impact to the doors.

Impact to the doors when the ignition

switch is in the ON position may cause

the air bags to inflate
