Safety features of your vehicle
Removal
For your safety, the front headrest can’t
be removed. If there is any problem with
the front headrest, take your vehicle to an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer and have
the system checked.
Electronic active headrest (if equipped)
The electronic active headrest is
designed to trigger the headrest forward
and upward when impact sensor detects
a rear impact. This helps to prevent the
driver's and front passenger’s heads
from moving backward and thus helps
minimize neck injuries.
C010107ABH
Seat warmer (if equipped)
The seat warmer is provided to warm the
front seats during cold weather. While the
engine is running, push either of the
switches to warm the driver's seat or the
front 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.
Each time you push the switch, the
temperature setting of the seat is
changed as follows :
WARNING
Do not operate the vehicle with the
headrests removed as severe injury
to the occupants may occur in the
event of an accident. Headrests
may provide protection against
neck injuries when properly adjust-
ed.
OBH038069OBH031009E
CAUTION
The active headrest is a safety
device to reduce injuries from a
rear impact. Do not hit or pull the
headrest intentionally.

Safety features of your vehicle
Each time you push the switch, the air-
flow is changed as follows:
When pressing the switch for more
than 1.5 seconds with the climate con-
trol seat operating, the climate control
seat will turn OFF.
The climate control seat defaults to the
OFF position whenever the ignition
switch is turned on.CAUTION
The climate control seat is a sup-
plementary cooling/heating sys-
tem. Use the climate control seat
when the climate control system
is on. Using the climate control
seat for prolonged periods of time
with the climate control system
off could impair the climate con-
trol seat performance.
When cleaning the seats, do not
use an organic solvent such as
paint thinner, benzene, alcohol
and gasoline. Doing so may dam-
age the surface of the seats.
Do not spill liquid such as water
or beverages on the surface of
the front seats and seatbacks, or
the air vent holes may be blocked
and prevented from working
properly.
Do not place materials such as
plastic bags or newspapers under
the seats. The air vent may not
work properly as the air intake
can be blocked.
When the air vent does not oper-
ate, restart the vehicle. If there is
no change, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.WARNING
Passengers should use extreme
caution when using the climate
control seat to warm due to the
possibility of excess heating or
burns. The occupants must be able
to feel if the seat is becoming too
warm and to turn the seat warmer
off. In particular, the driver must
exercise extreme care for the fol-
lowing types of passengers:
1. Infants, children, elderly or dis-
abled persons, or hospital outpa-
tients
2. Persons with sensitive skin or
those that burn easily
3. Fatigued individuals
4. Intoxicated individuals
5. Individuals taking medication
that can cause drowsiness or
sleepiness (sleeping pills, cold
tablets, etc.)OFF→HIGH( )→MIDDLE( )→LOW( )

Air conditioning
All HYUNDAI Air Conditioning Systems
are filled with environmentally friendly
R-134a refrigerant which does not dam-
age the ozone layer.
1. Start the engine. Push the air condi-
tioning button.
2. Set the mode to the position.
3. Set the air intake control to the outside
air or recirculated air position.
4. Adjust the fan speed control and tem-
perature control to maintain maximum
comfort.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• When using the air conditioning sys-
tem, monitor the engine temperature
gauge closely while driving up hills or
in heavy traffic when outside temper-
atures are high. Air conditioning sys-
tem operation may cause engine over-
heating. Continue to use the blower
fan but turn the air conditioning sys-
tem off if the engine temperature
gauge indicates engine overheating.
• When opening the windows in humid
weather air conditioning may create
water droplets inside the vehicle.
Since excessive water droplets may
cause damage to electrical equipment,
air conditioning should only be oper-
ated with the windows closed.
Air conditioning system operation tips
If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows for a short time to let the hot
air inside the vehicle escape.
To help reduce moisture inside of the
windows on rainy or humid days,
decrease the humidity inside the vehi-
cle by operating the air conditioning
system.
During air conditioning system opera-
tion, you may occasionally notice a
slight change in engine speed as the
air conditioning compressor cycles.
This is a normal system operation
characteristic.
Use the air conditioning system every
month only for a few minutes to ensure
maximum system performance.
