Safety features of your vehicle
How does the air bag system operate
Air bags are activated (able to inflate ifnecessary) only when the ignition switch
is turned to the ON or START position.
The appropriate air bags inflate instantly in the event of a serious frontal collision or side collision in order to help protect the occupants
from serious physical injury.
There is no single speed at which the air bags will inflate.
Generally, air bags are designed to
inflate based upon the severity of a col-
lision and its direction. These two fac-
tors determine whether the sensors
produce an electronic deployment/ inflation signal.
Air bag deployment depends on a number of factors including vehicle speed, angles of impact and the densi-
ty and stiffness of the vehicles or
objects which your vehicle hits in the
collision. The determining factors are
not limited to those mentioned above.
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 sim- ply see the deflated air bags hanging
out of their storage compartments afterthe collision. In addition to inflating in serious side
collisions, side and/or curtain airbags will inflate if the sensing system detects
a rollover.
When a rollover is detected, side and/or curtain airbags will remain inflated
longer to help provide protection from ejection, especially when used in con-
junction with the seat belts.
In order to help provide protection, the air bags must inflate rapidly. The speedof the 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 the air bag
design. However, air bag inflation can
also cause injuries which can include
facial abrasions, bruises and brokenbones because the inflation speed also
causes the air bags to expand with a
great deal of force.
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.
WARNING
To avoid severe personal injury or death caused by deploying air
bags in a collision, the driver
should sit as far back from the
steering wheel air bag as possi-
ble (at least 10 inches (250 mm)
away). The front passengers
should always move their seats
as far back as possible and sit
back in their seat.
Air bags inflate instantly in the event of collision, and passen-
gers may be injured by the air bag
expansion force if they are not in
proper position.
Air bag inflation may cause injuries including facial or bodily
abrasions, injuries from broken
glasses or burns.

3. Do not drive the vehicle if leaks are
found, the warning light remains on or
the brakes do not operate properly.
Have the vehicle towed to any author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer for a brake sys-
tem inspection and necessary repairs.
Your vehicle is equipped with a dual-diag-
onal braking system. This means you still
have braking on two wheels even if one of
the brake circuits is damaged or malfunc-
tions. With only one of the circuits work-
ing, more than normal pedal travel and
greater pedal pressure are required to
stop the car. Also, the car will not stop in
as short a distance with only a portion of
the brake system working. If the brakes
fail while you are driving, shift to a lower
gear for additional engine braking and
stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so.
To check bulb operation, check whether
the parking brake and brake fluid warning
light illuminates when the ignition switch is in the ON position.Seat belt warning
As a reminder to the driver, the seat belt
warning light will blink for approximately
6 seconds each time you turn the ignition
switch ON, regardless of belt fastening.
For details, refer to the seat belt on chap- ter 3.
Turn signal indicator
The blinking green arrows on the instru-
ment 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 consult-
ed for repairs.
This indicator also blinks when the haz-
ard warning switch is turned on.
Light on indicator
The indicator illuminates when the tail lights or headlights are ON.
High beam indicator
This indicator illuminates when the head- lights are on and in the high beam posi-
tion or when the turn signal lever is pulled
into the Flash-to-Pass position.
Front fog light indicator (if equipped)
The indicator illuminates when the front
fog lights are ON.
WARNING
Driving the vehicle with a warning
light on is dangerous. If the brake
warning light remains on, have the
brakes checked and repaired imme-
diately by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

REARVIEW CAMERA (IF EQUIPPED)
The rearview camera will activate when
the back-up light is ON with the ignition
switch ON and the shift lever in the R
(Reverse) position. This system is a supplemental system
that shows behind the vehicle through the
navigation display while backing-up. The hazard warning flasher should be
used whenever you find it necessary to stop the car in a hazardous location.
When you must make such an emer-
gency stop, always pull off the road as far
as possible.
The hazard warning lights are turned on
by pushing in the hazard switch. This
causes all turn signal lights to blink. The
hazard warning lights will operate even
though the key is not in the ignition
switch.
To turn the hazard warning lights off,
push the switch a second time.
WARNING
This system is a supplementary function only. It is the responsi-
bility of the driver to always
check the inside/outside rearview
mirror and the area behind the
vehicle before and while backingup.
Always keep the camera lens clean. If lens is covered with for-
eign matter, the camera may not
operate normally.

High beam operation
To turn on the high beam headlights,
push the lever away from you. Pull it back
for low beams. The high beam indicator will light when
the headlight high beams are switched on.
To prevent the battery from being dis-
charged, do not leave the lights on for a prolonged time while the engine is not
running. To flash the headlights, pull the lever
towards you. It will return to the normal
(low beam) position when released. The
headlight switch does not need to be on
to use this flashing feature.
Turn signals and lane change sig- nals
The ignition switch must be on for the
turn signals to function. To turn on the
turn signals, move the lever up or down
(A). The green arrow indicators on the
instrument panel indicate which turn sig-
nal is operating. They will self-cancel
after a turn is completed. If the indicator
continues to flash after a turn, manually
return the lever to the OFF position.

WARNING
Do not use high beam when there
are other vehicles. Using highbeam could obstruct the other dri- ver's vision.

Features of your vehicle
To signal a lane change, move the turn
signal lever slightly and hold it in position
(B). The lever will return to the OFF posi-tion when released.
If an indicator stays on and does not
flash or if it flashes abnormally, one of the
turn signal bulbs may be burned out andwill require replacement.
One-touch lane change function (if equipped)
To activate an one-touch lane change
function, move the turn signal lever
slightly for less than 0.5 second and then
release it. The lane change signals will
blink 3 times.
✽✽ NOTICE
If an indicator flash is abnormally quick
or slow, a bulb may be burned out or
have a poor electrical connection in the
circuit.
Front fog light (if equipped)
Fog lights are used to provide improved
visibility when visibility is poor due to fog,
rain or snow, etc. The fog lights will turn
on when fog light switch (1) is turned to
ON after the headlights (low beam) are
turned on.
To turn off the fog lights, turn the switch
to OFF.
OAM049046
CAUTION
When in operation, the fog lights consume large amounts of vehicleelectrical power. Only use the foglights when visibility is poor.
