Head restraint
The rear seat(s) is equipped with head
restraints in all the seating positions for
the occupant's safety and comfort.
The head restraint not only provides
comfort for passengers, but also helps to
protect the head and neck in the event of
a collision.
OPA039053
WARNING
• For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the head
restraint should be adjusted so
the middle of the head restraint is
at the same height of the centre
of gravity of an occupant's head.
Generally, the centre of gravity of
most people's head is similar
with the height of the top of their
eyes. Also adjust the head
restraint as close to your head as
possible. The use of a cushion
that holds the body away from
the seatback is not recommend-
ed.
• Do not operate the vehicle with
the head restraints removed as
severe injury to an occupant may
occur in the event of an accident.
Head restraints may provide pro-
tection against severe neck
injuries when properly adjusted.
WARNING - Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the
automatic transaxle is in P (Park)
and the parking brake is applied
whenever loading or unloading
cargo. Failure to take these steps
may allow the vehicle to move if
shift lever is inadvertently moved to
another position.
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.
Special care of objects should be
taken when placing them in the rear
seats, since those may hit the front
seat occupants in a frontal colli-
sion.

Rear seat
If the ignition switch is turned ON (engine
is not running) when the rear passen-
ger's seat belt is not fastened, the corre-
sponding seat belt warning light will illu-
minate until the belt is fastened.
And then, the rear corresponding seat
belt warning light will illuminate for
approximately 35 seconds, if any of the
following occurs:
- You start the engine when the rear belt
is not fastened.
- You drive over 5 mph (9 km/h) when the
rear belt is not fastened.
- The rear belt is disconnected when you
driver under 12 mph (20 km/h).
If the rear seat belt is fastened, the warn-
ing light will turn off immediately.If the rear seat belt is disconnected when
you drive over 12 mph (20 km/h), the cor-
responding seat belt warning light will
blink and warning chime will sound for 35
seconds.
But, if the rear passenger's seat belt
is/are connected and disconnected twice
within 9 seconds after the belt is fas-
tened, the corresponding seat belt warn-
ing light will not operate.Lap/shoulder belt
To fasten your seat belt:
To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the
retractor and insert the metal tab (1) into
the buckle (2). There will be an audible
"click" when the tab locks into the buckle.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to the
proper length only after the lap belt por-
tion is adjusted manually so that it fits
snugly around your hips. If you lean for-
ward in a slow, easy motion, the belt will
extend and let you move around. If there
is a sudden stop or impact, however, the
belt will lock into position. It will also lock
if you try to lean forward too quickly.

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, have your vehicle
immediately inspected by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
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 a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer. 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.
• 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 a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer.
• 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. A HYUNDAI authorised
repairer knows these precautions
and can give you the necessary
information. Failure to follow
these precautions and proce-
dures could increase the risk of
personal injury.
• If your car was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or water on the
floor, you shouldn't try to start
the engine; have the car towed to
a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

Features of your vehicle
Immobiliser system
Your vehicle may be equipped with an
electronic engine immobiliser system to
reduce the risk of unauthorised vehicle
use.
Your immobiliser system is comprised of
a small transponder in the ignition key
and electronic devices inside the vehicle.
With the immobiliser 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 deactivate the immobiliser sys-
tem:
Insert the ignition key into the key cylin-
der and turn it to the ON position.
To activate the immobiliser system:
Turn the ignition key to the OFF position.
The immobiliser system activates auto-
matically. Without a valid ignition key for
your vehicle, the engine will not start.
WARNING
In order to prevent theft of your
vehicle, do not leave spare keys
anywhere in your vehicle. Your
immobiliser password is a cus-
tomer unique password and should
be kept confidential. Do not leave
this number anywhere in your vehi-
cle.
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.

✽NOTICE
The immobiliser system detects the
presence of a key in the ignition switch.
To ensure the system performs correct-
ly, the keys should be separated after
delivery of the vehicle so that only one
key is near the ignition switch when
using the vehicle. The engine may not
start or may stop shortly after starting if
more than one key is near the ignition
switch.
✽NOTICE
If you need additional keys or lose your
keys, consult a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
CAUTION
The transponder in your ignition
key is an important part of the
immobiliser system. It is designed
to give years of trouble-free service,
however you should avoid expo-
sure to moisture, static electricity
and rough handling. Immobiliser
system malfunction could occur.
CAUTION
Do not change, alter or adjust the
immobiliser system because it
could cause the immobiliser sys-
tem to malfunction and should only
be serviced by a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer.
Malfunctions caused by improper
alterations, adjustments or modifi-
cations to the immobiliser system
are not covered by your vehicle
manufacturer warranty.
CAUTION
Do not put metal accessories near
the ignition switch.
The engine may not start for the
metal accessories may interrupt the
transponder signal from normally
transmitting.
