!
WARNING:
o Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the occupant classification sys-
tem, never install a child restraint
system in the front passenger's seat.
A deploying air bag can forcefully
strike a child resulting in serious
injuries or death. Any child age 12 and
under should ride in the rear seat.
Children too large for child restraints
should use the available lap/shoulder
belts. No matter what type of crash,
children of all ages are safer when
restrained in the rear seat.
o If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator is illuminated when the front
passenger's seat is occupied by an
adult and he/she sits properly (sitting
upright with the seatback in an upright
position, centered on the seat cushion
with their seat belt on, legs comfortably
extended and their feet on the floor),
have that person sit in the rear seat.
o Do not modify or replace the front
passenger seat. Don't place anything
on or attach anything such as a blanket
or after market seat heater to the
front passenger seat. This can
adversely affect the occupant
classification system.
o Do not sit on sharp objects such as tools
when occupying the front passenger
seat. This can adversely affect the occu-
pant classification system.
o Do not use accessory seat covers on
the front seats.
o Accident statistics show that children
are safer if they are restrained in the
rear, as opposed to the front seat. It is
recommended that child restraints be
secured in a rear seat, including an infant
riding in a rear-facing infant seat, a child
riding in a forward-facing child seat and
an older child riding in a booster seat.
o Air bags can only be used once – have
an authorized Hyundai dealer replace
the air bag immediately after
deployment.
o A smaller-stature adult who is not seated
correctly (for example: seat excessively
reclined, leaning on the center console,
or hips shifted forward in the seat) can
cause a condition where the advanced
frontal air bag system senses less
weight than if the occupant were seated
properly (sitting upright with the seatback
in an upright position, centered on the
seat cushion with their seat belt on, legs
comfortably extended and their feet on
the floor). This condition can result in an
adult potentially being misclassified and
illumination of the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator.
B990B05Y-AATSide Impact AirbagYour Hyundai is equipped with a side
impact airbag in each front seat. The
purpose of the airbag is to provide the
vehicle's driver and/or the front passenger
with additional protection than that offered
by the seat belt alone. The side impact
airbags are designed to deploy only during
certain side-impact collisions, depending
on the crash severity, angle, speed and
point of impact. The side impact airbags
are not designed to deploy in all side
impact situations.

!
o For best protection from the side im-
pact airbag system and to avoid being
injured by the deploying side impact
airbag, both front seat occupants
should sit in an upright position with
the seat belt properly fastened. 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.
o Do not use any accessory seat covers.
o Use of seat covers could reduce or
prevent the effectiveness of the sys-
tem.
o Do not install any accessories on the
side or near the side impact airbag.
o Do not place any objects over the
airbag or between the airbag and
yourself.
o Do not place any objects (an umbrella,
bag, etc.) between the front door and
the front seat. Such objects may be-
come dangerous projectiles and
cause injury if the supplemental side
impact airbag inflates.
o To prevent unexpected deployment
of the side impact airbag that may
result in personal injury, avoid impact
to the side impact sensor when the
ignition key is on.
WARNING:
WARNING:
o The side impact airbag is
supplemental to the driver's and the
passenger'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 airbags deploy only in certain
side impact conditions severe enough
to cause significant injury to the
vehicle occupants.

B990C01LZ-GATCurtain AirbagCurtain airbags 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 airbags are designed to deploy
only during certain side impact collisions,
depending on the crash severity, angle,
speed and impact. The curtain airbags are
not designed to deploy in all side impact
situations, collisions from the front or rear
of the vehicle or in most rollover situations.

WARNING AND INDICATOR
LIGHTSB260B01JM-AAT
SRS (Airbag) Warning Light
The SRS warning light comes on for about
6 seconds after the key is turned to the "ON"
position or after the engine is started, after
which it will go out.
This light also comes on when the SRS is
not working properly. If the airbag warning
light does not come on, or continuously
remains on after operating for about 6
seconds when you turned the ignition key
to the "ON" position or started the engine,
or if it comes on while driving, have the
SRS inspected by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.B260D01A-AAT
Turn Signal Indicator Lights
The blinking green arrows on the
instrument panel show the direction
indicated by the turn signals. If the arrow
comes on but does not blink, blinks more
rapidly than normal, or does not illuminate
at all, a malfunction in the turn signal system
is indicated. Your dealer should be
consulted for repairs.

There are some conditions that can cause
changes to the vehicle magnets. Items such
as installing a ski rack or a CB antenna or
even some body repair work on the vehicle
can cause changes to the vehicle's magnetic
field. In these situations, the compass will
need to be re-calibrated to quickly correct for
these changes. To re-calibrate the compass:
1. Press and hold the
button for more
than 6 seconds. When the compass
memory is cleared a "C" will appear in the
display.
2. To calibrate the compass, drive the vehicle
in 2 complete circles at less than 5 MPH
(8 Km/h).

B730A01L-AATOperation Tipso To keep dust or unpleasant fumes from
entering the car through the ventilation
system, temporarily set the air intake
control at the position. Be sure to
return the control to the position
when the irritation has passed to keep
fresh air in the vehicle. This will help
keep the driver alert and comfortable.
o Air for the heating/cooling system is
drawn in through the grilles just ahead
of the windshield. Care should be taken
that these are not blocked by leaves,
snow, ice or other obstructions.
o To prevent interior fog on the wind-
shield, set the air intake control to the
fresh air ( ) position and fan speed to
the desired position, turn on the air
conditioning system, and adjust
temperature control to desired tempera-
ture.

B740C02O-AATDe-Humidified HeatingFor dehumidified heating:
o Set the air flow control to the face ( )
position.
o Turn on the air conditioning switch. The
air conditioning indicator light should
come on at the same time.
o Set the air intake control to the fresh air
( ) position.
o Adjust the fan control to the desired
speed.
o For more rapid action, set the fan at one
of the higher speeds.
o Adjust the temperature control to provide
the desired amount of warmth.
B740D02Y-AATOperation Tipso If the interior of the car is hot when you
first get in, open the windows for a few
minutes to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air conditioning
system, keep all windows closed to
keep hot air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy traffic,
shift to a lower gear. This increases
engine speed, which in turn increases
the speed of the air conditioning
compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air condition-
ing off to avoid the possibility of the
engine overheating.
o During winter months or in periods when
the air conditioning is not used regularly,
run the air conditioning once every
month for a few minutes. This will help
circulate the lubricants and keep your
system in peak operating condition.
