Side air bag (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a side air
bag in each front seat. The purpose of
the air bag is to provide the vehicle's driv-er and/or the front passenger with addi-
tional protection than that offered by the
seat belt alone.  The side air bags are designed to
deploy only during certain side-impact
collisions, depending on the crash
severity, angle, speed and point ofimpact.
 The side air bags do not only deploy on the side of the impact but also on the
opposite side.
OEL039039
OLM032310N
WARNING
 The side air bag is supplemental to the driver's and the passen-
ger's seat belt systems and is not
a substitute for them. Therefore
your seat belts must be worn at
all times whilst the vehicle is in
motion. The air bags deploy only
in certain side impact conditions
severe enough to cause signifi-
cant injury to the vehicle occu-pants.
 For best protection from the side air bag system and to avoid being
injured by the deploying side air
bag, both front seat occupantsshould sit in an upright position
with the seat belt properly fas-
tened. The driver's hands shouldbe placed on the steering wheelat the 9:00 and 3:00 positions.
The passenger's arms and handsshould be placed on their laps.
 Do not use any accessory seat covers.

WARNING
Do not allow the passengers to lean
their heads or bodies onto doors,
put their arms on the doors, stretch
their arms out of the window, or
place objects between the doors
and passengers when they areseated on seats equipped with side
and/or curtain air bags.

Safety features of your vehicle
SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free
and so 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, we recommend
that the system be inspected by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
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.
 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.
 If the air bags inflate, we recom- mend that the system be
replaced by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)(Continued)
 Do not tamper with or disconnectSRS 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. We recommend that
you contact an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer for these pre-
cautions and necessary informa-
tion. Failure to follow these pre-
cautions and procedures could
increase the risk of personal
injury.
 If your car was flooded and has soaked carpeting or water on
flooring, you shouldn't try to start
the engine; we recommend that
you contact an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.

Electric power steering
Power steering uses the motor to assist
you in steering the vehicle. If the engine
is off or if the power steering system
becomes inoperative, the vehicle may
still be steered, but it will require
increased steering effort.
The motor driven power steering is con-
trolled by the power steering control unit
which senses the steering wheel torque
and vehicle speed to command the
motor.
The steering wheel becomes heavier as
the vehicle’s speed increases and
becomes lighter as the vehicle’s speed
decreases for better control of the steer-ing wheel.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steering during normal
vehicle operation, we recommend that
the system be checked by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.✽✽
NOTICE
The following symptoms may occur dur- ing normal vehicle operation:

3. Setting the compass zone
1. Find your current location and vari-
ance zone number on the zone map.
2. Press and hold the button for more than 6 but less than 9 seconds. The
current zone number will appear in the
display.
3. Press the button until the new zone number appears in the display. After
you stop pressing the button in, the
display will show a compass direction
within a few seconds. 4. Changing Mirror Angle setting
(if equipped):
Due to mirror positions being angled
towards the driver, the compass mirror
can also compensate for drivers seated
on the Left Hand side of the vehicle
(steering wheel on the LH side of the
vehicle) or Right Hand side of the vehicle
(steering wheel on the RH side of the
vehicle).
To adjust the Left Hand, “L” or Right
Hand, “R”, setting:
1. Press and hold the button for more than 12 seconds.
2. Release then press the button to tog- gle between “L” and “R”.
✽✽ NOTICE
This procedure also causes the compass to be de-calibrated.
3. To re-calibrate the compass, drive the vehicle in 2 complete circles at less than 8km/h (5mph).
CAUTION
1. Do not install the ski rack, anten-
na, etc. which are attached to thevehicle by means of a magnet.They affect the operation of thecompass.
2. If the compass deviates from the correct indication soon after
repeated adjustment, we recom-mend that the system be checked by an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
3. The compass may not indicate the correct compass point in tun-nels or whilst driving up or down a steep hill.
(The compass returns to the cor-rect compass point when thevehicle moves to an area wherethe geomagnetism is stabilized.)
4. When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar material
dampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass cleaner directlyon the mirror as that may causethe liquid cleaner to enter the mir-
ror housing.
