Safety features of your vehicle
Once you have installed the LATCH
child restraint, assure that the seat is
properly attached to the LATCH and
tether anchors.
Also, test the child restraint seat
before you place the child in it. Tilt
the seat from side to side. Also try to
tug the seat forward. Check to see if
the anchors hold the seat in place.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
The recommended weight for the
LATCH system is under 65 lbs (30
kg).
How to calculate the child restraint
weight :
Child restraint weight =
65 lbs (30 kg) - Child weight
WARNING
If the child restraint is not
anchored properly, the risk of a
child being seriously injured or
killed in a collision greatly
increases.
WARNING - LATCH lower
anchors
LATCH lower anchors are only
to be used with the left and right
rear outboard seating positions.
WARNING
When using the vehicle's
"LATCH" system to install a
child restraint system in the
rear seat, all unused vehicle
rear seat belt metal latch plates
or tabs must be latched secure-
ly in their seat belt buckles and
the seat belt webbing must be
retracted behind the child
restraint to prevent the child
from reaching and taking hold
of unretracted seat belts.
Unlatched metal latch plates or
tabs may allow the child to
reach the unretracted seat belts
which may result in strangula-
tion and a serious injury or
death to the child in the child
restraint.
CAUTION
Do not allow the rear seat belt
webbing to get scratched or
pinched by the child-seat latch
and LATCH anchor during the
installation.

Noise and smoke
When the air bags inflate, they make
a loud noise and they leave smoke
and powder in the air inside of the
vehicle. This is normal and is a result
of the ignition of the air bag inflator.
After the air bag inflates, you may
feel substantial discomfort in breath-
ing due to the contact of your chest
with both the seat belt and the air
bag, as well as from breathing the
smoke and powder.Open your
doors and/or windows as soon as
possible after impact in order to
reduce discomfort and prevent
prolonged exposure to the smoke
and powder.
Though the smoke and powder are
non-toxic, they may cause irritation
to the skin (eyes, nose and throat,
etc). If this is the case, wash and
rinse with cold water immediately
and consult a doctor if the symptom
persists.
Do not install a child restraint on the
front passenger’s seat.
Never place a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger’s
seat. If the air bag deploys, it would
impact the rear-facing child restraint,
causing serious or fatal injury.
In addition, do not place front-facing
child restraints in the front passen-
ger’s seat either. If the front passen-
ger air bag inflates, it could cause
serious or fatal injuries to the child.
1JBH3051
WARNING
When the air bags deploy, the
air bag related parts in the
steering wheel and/or instru-
ment panel and/or in both sides
of the roof rails above the front
and rear doors and in the front
seatbacks are very hot. To pre-
vent injury, do not touch the air
bag storage area’s internal
components immediately after
an air bag has inflated.

SRS components and func-
tions
The SRS consists of the following
components:
1. Driver's front air bag module
2. Passenger's front air bag module
3. Side impact air bag modules
4. Curtain air bag modules
5. Retractor pre-tensioner assemblies
6. Air bag warning light
7. SRS control module (SRSCM)
8. Front impact sensors
9. Side impact sensors
10. PASSENGER AIR BAG "OFF"
indicator (Front passenger’s seat
only)11. Occupant classification system
(Front passenger’s seat only)
The SRSCM continually monitors all
SRS components while the ignition
switch is ON to determine if a crash
impact is severe enough to require
air bag deployment or pre-tensioner
seat belt deployment.

WARNING
Extreme Hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint
on a seat protected by an air
bag in front of it!
Never put a child restraint in
the front passenger’s seat. If
the front passenger air bag
inflates, it can cause serious
or fatal injuries.

Always be sure that you and all vehi-
cle occupants are seated and
restrained properly (sitting upright with
the seat in an upright position, cen-
tered on the seat cushion, with the
person's legs comfortably extended,
feet on the floor, and wearing the safe-
ty belt properly) for the most effective
protection by the air bag and the safe-
ty belt.
The OCS may not function proper-
ly if the passenger takes actions
which can affect the detection sys-
tem. These include:
(1) Failing to sit in an upright posi-
tion.
(2) Leaning against the door or
center console.
(3) Sitting towards the sides or the
front of the seat.
(4) Putting legs on the dashboard
or resting them on other loca-
tions which reduce the passen-
ger weight on the front seat.
(5) Improperly wearing the safety
belt.
(6) Reclining the seat back.Condition and operation of the front passenger occupant classification
system
*1) The system judges a person of
adult size as an adult. When a
smaller adult sits in the front pas-
senger seat, the system may rec-
ognize him/her as a child depend-
ing on his/her physique and pos-
ture.
*2) Do not allow children to ride in the
front passenger seat. When a
smaller child than the same age
sits in the front passenger seat,
the system may recognize
him/her as an infant depending on
his/her physique or posture.*3) Never install a child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat.
WARNING
Riding in an improper position
or placing weight on the front
passenger's seat when it is
unoccupied by a passenger
adversely affects the occupant
classification system (OCS).

Air bags can only be used
once – have an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer replace the
air bag immediately after
deployment.
A smaller-stature adult who is
not seated correctly (for exam-
ple: seat excessively reclined,
leaning on the door or center
console, or hips shifted for-
ward in the seat) can cause a
condition where the advanced
frontal air bag system senses
less weight than if the occu-
pant were seated properly (sit-
ting upright with the seatback
in an upright position, cen-
tered on the seat cushion with
their seat belt on, legs com-
fortably extended and their
feet on the floor).
This condition can result in an
adult potentially being mis-
classified and illumination of
the PASSENGER AIR BAG
"OFF" indicator.(Continued)
Do not modify or replace the
front passenger seat. Don't
place anything on or attach
anything such as a blanket or
seat heater to the front passen-
ger seat. This can adversely
affect the occupant classifica-
tion system.
Do not sit on sharp objects
such as tools when occupying
the front passenger seat. This
can adversely affect the occu-
pant classification system.
Do not use accessory seat cov-
ers on the front seats.
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.
(Continued)WARNING
Even though your vehicle is
equipped with the occupant
classification system, never
install a child restraint system
in the front passenger's seat.
A deploying air bag can force-
fully 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.
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 (sit-
ting 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.

Safety features of your vehicle
The advanced SRS offers the ability
to control the air bag inflation within
two levels. A first stage level is pro-
vided for moderate-severity impacts.
A second stage level is provided for
more severe impacts.
The front passenger air bag is
designed to help reduce the injury of
children through interaction with the
front passenger air bag by being too
close to the instrument panel in the
low speed collisions. But children are
safer if they are restrainted in the
rear seat.According to the impact severity, the
SRSCM (SRS Control Module) con-
trols the air bag inflation. Failure to
properly wear seat belts can
increase the risk or severity of injury
in an accident.
Additionally, your vehicle is equipped
with an occupant classification sys-
tem in the front passenger's seat.
The occupant classification system
detects the presence of a passenger
in the front passenger's seat and will
turn off the front passenger's air bag
under certain conditions. For more
details, see "Occupant classification
system" in this section.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• Be sure to read information about
the SRS on the labels provided on
the sun visor.
• Advanced air bags are combined
with pre-tensioner seat belts to
help provide enhanced occupant
protection in frontal crashes.
Front air bags are not intended to
deploy in collisions in which pro-
tection can be provided by the pre-
tensioner seat belt.
WARNING
If you are considering modifica-
tion of your vehicle due to a dis-
ability, please contact the
Hyundai Customer Assistance
Center at 1-800-633-5151.

No objects should be placed
over or near the air bag mod-
ules 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
deploy.
Never place covers, blankets or
seat warmers on the passenger
seat as these may interfere with
the occupant classification sys-
tem.
Do not tamper with or discon-
nect SRS wiring or other com-
ponents of the SRS system.
Doing so could result in injury,
due to accidental deployment of
the air bags or by rendering the
SRS inoperative.
If the SRS air bag warning light
remains illuminated while the
vehicle is being driven, have an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer
inspect the air bag system as
soon as possible.
(Continued)(Continued)
Front and side air bags can
injure occupants improperly
positioned in the front seats.
Move your seat as far back as
practical from the front air
bags, while still maintaining
control of the vehicle.
You and your passengers
should never sit or lean
unnecessarily close to the air
bags. Improperly positioned
driver and passengers can be
severely injured by inflating
air bags.
Never lean against the door or
center console – always sit in
an upright position.
Do not allow a passenger to
ride in the front seat when the
PASSENGER AIR BAG "OFF"
indicator is illuminated,
because the air bag will not
deploy in the event of a mod-
erate or severe frontal crash.
(Continued)WARNING
Always use seat belts and child
restraints – every trip, every
time, everyone! Air bags inflate
with considerable force and in
the blink of an eye. Seat belts
help keep occupants in proper
position to obtain maximum
benefit from the air bag. Even
with advanced air bags, improp-
erly belted and unbelted occu-
pants can be severely injured
when the air bag inflates.
Always follow the precautions
about seat belts, air bags and
occupant safety contained in
this manual.
To reduce the chance of serious
or fatal injuries and receive the
maximum safety benefit from
your restraint system:
Never place a child in any
child or booster seat in the
front seat.
ABC – Always Buckle
Children in the back seat. It is
the safest place for children of
any age to ride.

The SRS is designed to
deploy the front air bags only
when an impact is sufficiently
severe. Additionally, the air
bags will only deploy once.
Seat belts must be worn at all
times.
Front air bags are not intend-
ed to deploy in side-impact,
rear-impact or rollover crash-
es. In addition, front air bags
will not deploy in frontal
crashes below the deploy-
ment threshold.

Even though your vehicle is
equipped with the occupant
classification system, do not
install a child restraint system
in the front passenger seat
position. A child restraint sys-
tem must never be placed in
the front seat. The infant or
child could be severely injured
or killed by an air bag deploy-
ment in case of an accident.
Children age 12 and under
must always be properly
restrained in the rear seat.
Never allow children to ride in
the front passenger seat. If a
child over 12 must be seated
in the front seat, he or she
must be properly belted and
the seat should be moved as
far back as possible.
