WARNING 
When you return the rear seatback to its upright position after being
folded down: 
Be careful not to damage the seat 
belt webbing or buckle. Do not 
allow the seat belt webbing or
buckle to get caught or pinched in 
the rear seat. Ensure that the seat- 
back is completely locked into its
upright position by pushing on the
top of the seatback. Otherwise, in 
an accident or sudden stop, the 
seat could fold down and allow
cargo to enter the passenger com- 
partment, which could result in 
serious injury or death.
CAUTION- Rear seat belts
When returning the rear seatbacks to the upright position, remember to
return the rear shoulder belts to theirproper position. Routing the seat beltwebbing through the rear seat belt guides will help keep the belts from
being trapped behind or under theseats.
CAUTION - Damaging rear
seat belt buckles
When you fold the rear seatback, push the buckle into the pocket inthe rear cushion. Doing so can pre-
vent the buckle from being dam-aged by the rear seatback.
WARNING- Cargo
Cargo should always be secured to 
prevent it from being thrown about
the vehicle in a collision and caus-
ing injury to the vehicle occupants. Do not place objects on the rear 
seats, since they cannot be proper-
ly secured and may hit the front seat occupants in a collision.
WARNING - Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the 
automatic transaxle is in P (Park) or 
the manual transaxle is in R
(Reverse) or 1st, and the parking
brake is securely applied whenever 
loading or unloading cargo. Failure 
to take these steps may allow the
vehicle to move if the shift lever is 
inadvertently moved to another position.

WARNING 
 Do not install or place any acces- sories (drink holder, cassette 
holder, sticker, etc.) on the front 
passenger's panel above the
glove box in a vehicle with a pas- 
senger's air bag. Such objects 
may become dangerous projec-
tiles and cause injury if the pas-
senger's air bag inflates.
 When installing a container of liq- uid air freshener inside the vehi-
cle, do not place it near the 
instrument cluster nor on the 
instrument panel surface. 
It may become a dangerous pro- 
jectile and cause injury if the pas- 
senger's air bag inflates.

Passenger’s front air bag
WARNING
 If an air bag deploys, there may be a loud noise followed by a fine 
dust released in the vehicle.These conditions are normal and 
are not hazardous - the air bags 
are packed in this fine powder.
The dust generated during air 
bag deployment may cause skin 
or eye irritation as well as aggra-
vate asthma for some persons.
Always wash all exposed skin 
areas thoroughly with lukewarm water and a mild soap after an
accident in which the air bags 
were deployed.
 The SRS can function only when the ignition switch is in the ON 
position. If the SRS air bag warn- 
ing light does not illuminate, con- 
tinuously remains on after illumi-
nating for about 6 seconds when 
the ignition switch is turned to 
the ON position, or after the
engine is started, or comes on
while driving, the SRS is not 
working properly. If this occurs, 
have your vehicle immediately
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)(Continued) 
 Before you replace a fuse or dis-connect a battery terminal, turn 
the ignition switch to the LOCK
position and remove the ignition
key. Never remove or replace the 
air bag related fuse(s) when the 
ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion. Failure to heed this warning 
will cause the SRS air bag warn- 
ing light to illuminate.

When an adult is seated in the front pas- 
senger seat, if the “PASSENGER AIR 
BAG OFF” indicator is on, turn the igni- 
tion switch to the LOCK position and ask
the passenger to sit properly (sitting 
upright with the seat back in an upright position, centered on the seat cushion
with their seat belt on, legs comfortably
extended and their feet on the floor). 
Restart the engine and have the person 
remain in that position. This will allow thesystem to detect the person and to 
enable the passenger air bag.If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indi-cator is still on, ask the passenger to 
move to the rear seat.
✽✽
NOTICE
The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" 
indicator illuminates for about 4 sec- 
onds after the ignition switch is turned
to the ON position or after the engine is
started. If the front passenger seat is 
occupied, the occupant classification 
sensor will then classify the front pas-
senger after several more seconds.

WARNING
Do not allow an adult passenger to 
ride in the front seat when the 
“PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indi- cator is illuminated because the air
bag will not deploy in the event of a
crash. If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator remains illuminated 
after the adult passenger reposi-
tions themselves properly and the
car is restarted, it is recommended 
that passenger move to the rear 
seat because the passenger's front
air bag will not deploy. 
Front seat passengers must stay 
properly seated to avoid serious
injury from a deploying air bag.
WARNING
Do not put a heavy load or an active 
electronic device (ex. Laptop com-
puter, navigation etc..) on the front 
passenger seat. Do not place any 
items under the front passenger
seat. Any of these could interfere 
with proper sensor operation.

SRS Care
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 illuminate, or con-
tinuously remains on, have your vehicle
immediately inspected by an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer. 
Any work on the SRS system, such as 
removing, installing, repairing, or any
work on the steering wheel, the front passenger's panel, front seats and roof 
rails must be performed by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. Improper handling of
the SRS system may result in serious 
personal injury.WARNING
 Modification to SRS components or wiring, including the addition 
of any kind of badges to the pad
covers or modifications to the
body structure, can adversely
affect SRS performance and lead
to possible injury.
 Not only the modification of the parts where the SRS sensors are 
but also the modification of other
parts of the vehicle may affect the 
SRS performance and lead to 
possible injury.
 For cleaning the air bag pad cov- ers, use only a soft, dry cloth or
one which has been moistened
with plain water. Solvents or
cleaners could adversely affect 
the air bag covers and proper 
deployment of the system.
No objects should be placed over 
or near the air bag modules on the
steering wheel, instrument panel,
and the front passenger's panel
above the glove box, because any
such object could cause harm if the
vehicle is in a crash severe enough
to cause the air bags to inflate.
(Continued)
(Continued) 
 If the air bags inflate, they must be replaced by an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer.
 Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS wiring, or other components 
of the SRS system. Doing so 
could result in injury, due to acci-
dental inflation of the air bags or 
by rendering the SRS inopera- 
tive.
 If components of the air bag sys- tem must be discarded, or if the 
vehicle must be scrapped, certain 
safety precautions must be
observed. An authorized HYUNDAI
dealer knows these precautions 
and can give you the necessary 
information. Failure to follow these
precautions and procedures could 
increase the risk of personal 
injury.
 If your vehicle was flooded and has soaked carpeting or water on 
the floor, you shouldn't try to 
start the engine; have the car
towed to an authorized HYUNDAI 
dealer.

WARNING- Ignition key
Leaving children unattended in a 
vehicle with the ignition key is dan-
gerous even if the key is not in the
ignition switch. Children copy 
adults and they could place the key 
in the ignition switch. The ignition
key would enable children to oper- 
ate power windows or other con- 
trols, or even make the vehicle
move, which could result in serious
bodily injury or even death. Never 
leave the keys in your vehicle with 
unsupervised children.
WARNING
Use only HYUNDAI original parts 
for the ignition key in your vehicle. 
If an aftermarket key is used, the 
ignition switch may not return to
ON after START. If this happens, the
starter will continue to operate 
causing damage to the starter 
motor and possible fire due to
excessive current in the wiring.

Immobilizer system (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with an 
electronic engine immobilizer system to 
reduce the risk of unauthorized vehicle 
use. 
Your immobilizer system is comprised of 
a small transponder in the ignition key 
and electronic devices inside the vehicle. 
With the immobilizer system, whenever 
you insert your ignition key into the igni- 
tion switch and turn it to ON, it checks 
and determines and verifies if the ignition
key is valid or not. 
If the key is determined to be valid, the 
engine will start. 
If the key is determined to be invalid, the 
engine will not start. 
To activate the immobilizer system, turn 
the ignition key to the OFF position. The 
immobilizer system activates automati-
cally. Without a valid ignition key for your
vehicle, the engine will not start. 
To deactivate the immobilizer system, 
insert the ignition key into the key cylin- 
der and turn it to the ON position.
✽✽
NOTICE
When starting the engine, do not use the 
key with other immobilizer keys nearby. 
Otherwise the engine may not start or 
may stop soon after it starts. Keep each
key separately. ✽
✽
NOTICE
If you need additional keys or lose your 
keys, consult an authorized HYUNDAI 
dealer.WARNING
In order to prevent theft of your vehi- 
cle, do not leave spare keys any-
where in your vehicle. Your immobi-
lizer password is a customer unique 
password and should be kept confi- 
dential. Do not leave this number
anywhere in your vehicle.
CAUTION
The transponder in your ignition key is an important part of theimmobilizer system. It is designedto give years of trouble-free service,
however you should avoid expo-sure to moisture, static electricity and rough handling. Immobilizer
system malfunction could occur.
CAUTION
Do not put metal accessories near the ignition switch. The engine may
not start because the metal acces- sories may interrupt the transpondersignal from transmitting normally.
CAUTION
Do not change, alter or adjust the
immobilizer system because it could cause the immobilizer sys-
tem to malfunction and should onlybe serviced by an authorizedHYUNDAI dealer.
Malfunctions caused by improperalterations, adjustments or modifi-cations to the immobilizer systemare not covered by your vehicle
manufacturer warranty.
