VEHICLE DATA COLLECTION AND EVENT DATA RECORDERS
Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with many high technology, electronically controlled systems that help to ensure
your vehicle operates properly and provides the performance that you expect. These systems utilize computers
to monitor the operation of various systems and components and help to control their operation. These
computerized system operations are wide-ranging and involve components to reduce emissions, to continuously
evaluate the readiness of the airbag and seat belt pretensioner systems, to determine when the airbag and seat
belt pre-tensioner systems should be deployed and then to activate the deployment, and if equipped, to operate
anti-lock braking, traction control and electrical stability control to assist the driver to control the vehicle in difficult
driving situations. These systems electronically store information that is useful to service technicians when they
need to diagnose and repair these systems. Additional information is stored only when a crash occurs that results
in the deployment of the airbags or seat belt pre-tensioners. This type of data storage is done by devices called
event data recorders(EDR).
After a crash event, the airbag and seat belt pre-tensioner computer system, known as the Supplemental
Restraint System Control Module (SRSCM) or Airbag Control Unit (ACU), may record some information about
the condition of the vehicle and how it was being operated. This information consists of data related to seat belt
usage and if there was diagnostic information in the airbag or seat belt systems at the time that a crash occurred,
and if the ACU sensed that a crash of sufficient severity occurred to require seat belt pre-tensioner or airbag
deployment.
To retrieve this information, special equipment is needed and access to the vehicle or the device that stores the
data is required. Hyundai will not access information about a crash event or share it with others except:
o in response to an official request of police or similar government office, or
o with the consent of the vehicle owner or, if the vehicle is leased, with the consent of the lessee, or
o as part of Hyundai’s defense of litigation, or
o as required by law.

B030C01JM-AATILLUMINATED IGNITION SWITCH
(If installed)Whenever either front door is opened, the igni-
tion switch will be illuminated for your conve-
nience, provided the ignition switch is not in the
"ON" position.
The light will go off approximately 10 seconds
after closing the door or when the ignition switch
is turned on.
B030C01E-1
WARNING:
o Unlocked doors can be dangerous. Be-
fore you drive away (especially if there
are children in the car), be sure that all the
doors are securely closed and locked so
that the doors cannot be opened from
the inside. This helps ensure that the
doors will not be opened accidentally.
Also, when combined with the proper
use of seat belts, locking the doors helps
keep occupants from being ejected from
the car in case of an accident.
o Before opening the door, always look for
and avoid oncoming traffic.
o In case of accident, the door is unlocked
automatically (If installed).
B030B01A-AATRecord Your Key NumberA code number is stamped on the number plate
that came with the keys to your Hyundai. This
key number plate should not be left with the keys
but kept in a safe place, not in the vehicle. The
key number should also be recorded in a place
where it can be found in an emergency.
If you need additional keys, or if you should lose
your keys, your authorized Hyundai dealer can
make new keys if you can supply the key
number.

WARNING:
To minimize risk of severe injury in the
event of a collision or a sudden stop, both
the driver and passenger seatbacks should
always be in an upright position while the
vehicle is in motion. The protection pro-
vided by the seat belts and airbags in a
frontal collision may be reduced signifi-
cantly when the seatbacks are reclined.
There is greater risk that the driver and
passenger will slide under the seat belt
which may result in serious injury if a crash
occurs when the seatbacks are reclined.
The seat belt and airbags cannot provide
proper protection to an occupant if the seat
back is reclined.

B080D02JM-AATAdjustable HeadrestsHeadrests are designed to help reduce the risk
of neck injuries.
To raise the headrest, pull it up. To lower the
headrest, push it down while pressing the lock
knob. To remove the headrest, raise it as far as
it can go then press the lock knob while pulling
upward. This should only be done when the seat
is not occupied.
B080D01O
Lock knob
WARNING:
o For maximum effectiveness in case of an
accident the headrest should be ad-
justed so the middle of the headrest is at
the same height as the top of the
occupant's eyes. For this reason, the
use of a cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback is not recom-
mended.
o Do not operate vehicle with the head-
rests removed as injury to the occupants
may occur in the event of an accident.
Headrests may provide protection against
neck injuries when properly adjusted.
o Do not adjust the headrest height while
the vehicle is in motion.

B100A01JM-AATSEAT WARMER (If Installed)The seat warmer is provided to warm the front
seats during cold weather. With the ignition key in
the "ON" position, push either of the switches to
warm the driver's seat or the passenger's seat.
During mild weather or under conditions where
the operation of the seat warmer is not needed,
keep the switches in the "OFF" position.
o The seat warmer will not operate if the
ambient temperature is higher than
82.4°F ± 3.5°F (28°C ± 3.5°C).
o If the seat warmer doesn't work when
ambient temperature is lower than 75.2°F
(24°C), it should be checked at an autho-
rized dealer.

WARNING:
To minimize the risk of personal injury in
the event of a collision or a sudden stop,
both the driver's and passenger's seatback
should remain in an upright position while
the car is in motion. The protection pro-
vided by the seat belts and airbags may be
reduced significantly when the seatbacks
are reclined. There is a greater risk that the
seat occupants will slide under the belt
resulting in serious injury if a crash occurs
when the seatbacks are reclined. The seat
belt and airbags cannot provide proper
protection to an occupant if the seat back
is reclined.

WARNING:
o When folding down or returning the
seatback, always hold the seatback.
Otherwise, the seatback could move
suddenly and result in unexpected in-
jury.
o The purpose of the fold-up rear seat
cushion and the fold-down rear seat
back is to allow you to carry larger items
than could otherwise be accommodated.
Never allow passengers to sit on the
cargo area while the car is moving. This
is not a proper seating position and no
seat belts are available for use when the
seat back is folded down.
This could result in serious injury or
death in case of an accident or a sudden
stop. Objects should not extend higher
than the top of the front seatbacks.
This could allow cargo to slide forward
and cause injury or damage during sud-
den stops.
o Make sure that the headrests are prop-
erly fixed in place to minimize the risk of
severe injury in case of an accident.

4. Hook the securing loop under the seat cush-
ion to the hanger on the backside of the
seatback.
5. Insert the headrests between the seatback
and the seat cushion.
6. To return the seatback to its normal position,
push the seatback folding lever and reverse
the above procedure.
o When you return the seatback to its upright
position, always be sure it is locked into
position by pulling and pushing on the top of
the seatback.

HangerSecuring loop
NOTE:o Before folding the seatback, place the
rear seat belt buckles in the buckle clips
on the seatback. This will prevent the
seat belt buckles from becoming cov-
ered by the seat cushion when it is
returned to the seating position.
o The rear seat belt buckles must be re-
moved from the buckle clips by pressing
release button when in use.

SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:All occupants of the vehicle must wear their
seat belts at all times. Note that this vehicle
is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint
(Airbag) System as discussed beginning
on page 1-34. The seat belts must be used
in conjunction with the supplemental
airbag system. State laws require that some
or all occupants of the vehicle use seat
belts. The possibility of increased injury or
severity of injury in an accident will be
increased if this elementary safety precau-
tion is not observed. In addition, follow the
other instructions provided in this section. o When you return the rear seatback to its
upright position after being folded down,
be careful not to damage the seatbelt
webbing or buckle. In addition, do not
allow the seatbelt webbing or buckle to
get caught or pinched in the rear seat.
