Side and curtain air bags
Side and cur tain air bags are
designed to inflate when an impact is
detected by side collision sensors
depending on the severity, speed or
angles of impact resulting from a
side impact collision. Although the driver’s and front pas
senger’s air bags are designed to
inflate in frontal collisions, they also
may inflate in other types of colli
sions if the front impact sensors
detect a sufficient impact. Side and
curtain air bags are designed to
inflate in side impact collisions, but
they may inflate in other collisions if
the side impact sensors detect a suf
ficient impact.
Also, the side and curtain air bags are
designed to inflate when a rollover is
detected by a rollover sensor. (if
equipped with rollover sensor)
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved
roads, the air bags may deploy. Drive
carefully on unimproved roads or on
surfaces not designed for vehicle traffic to prevent unintended air bag
deployment.
Air bag noninflation conditions
• In certain lowspeed collisions the air bags may not deploy. The air
bags are designed not to deploy in
such cases because they may not
provide benefits beyond the pro
tection of the seat belts in such col
lisions.

Safety system of your vehicle
•Front air bags are not designed to
inflate in rear collisions, because
occupants are moved backward by
the force of the impact. In this
case, inflated air bags would not be
able to provide any additional ben
efit. • Front air bags may not inflate in
side impact collisions, becauseoccupants move to the direction of
the collision, and thus in side impacts, frontal air bag deployment
would not provide additional occu
pant protection.
However, side impact or curtain air
bags may inflate depending on the
intensity, vehicle speed and angles
of impact. • In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants in
a direction where the air bags
would not be able to provide any
additional benefit, and thus the
sensors may not deploy any air
bags.

•Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehi
cle causing it to “ride” under a vehi
cle with a higher ground clearance.
Air bags may not inflate in this
"underride" situation because
deceleration forces that are detect
ed by sensors may be significantly
reduced by such “underride” colli
sions. • Air bags do not inflate in rollover
accidents because vehicle can not
detect rollover accident. • Air bags may not inflate if the vehi
cle collides with objects such as
utility poles or trees, where the
point of impact is concentrated and
the collision energy is absorbed by
the vehicle structure.

Electrochromic mirror (ECM)
(if equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automati
cally controls the glare from the head
lights of the car behind you in night
time or low light driving conditions.
When the engine is running, the
glare is automatically controlled by
the sensor mounted in the rearview
mirror. The sensor detects the light
level around the vehicle, and auto
matically adjusts to control the head
light glare from vehicles behind you.
Whenever the shift lever is placed in
R (Reverse), the mirror will automat
ically go to the brightest setting in
order to improve the drivers view
behind the vehicle.
T o o p e r a t e t h e e l e c t r i c r e a r v i e w
m i r r o r :
• Press the ON/OFF button (1) to turn the automatic dimming func
tion off. The mirror indicator light
will turn off.
Press the ON/OFF button (1) to
turn the automatic dimming func
tion on. The mirror indicator light
will illuminate.
• The mirror defaults to the ON posi tion whenever the ignition switch is
turned on.
When cleaning the mirror, use a
paper towel or similar material damp
ened with glass cleaner. Do not
spray glass cleaner directly on the
mirror as that may cause the liquid
cleaner to enter the mirror housing.

Rear parking assist system
(if equipped)
The Rear Parking Assist System
aids the driver during reverse move
ment of the vehicle by chiming if any
object is sensed within the distance
of about 120 cm (47 in.) behind the
vehicle. This is a supplemental system that
senses objects within the range and
location of the sensors, it cannot
detect objects in other areas where
sensors are not installed.
Operation of the rear parking
assist system
Operation condition
• This system will activate when
backing up with the engine running.
• Sensing distance when backing up is approximately 120 cm (47 in.)
when you are driving less than 10
km/h (6 mph).
• When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the clos
est one will be recognized first.
•ALWAYS look around your vehi
cle to make sure there are no
objects or obstacles before mov
ing the vehicle in any direction to
prevent a collision.
•Always pay close attention when
the vehicle is driven close to
objects, particularly pedestrians,
and especially children.
•Be aware that some objects
may not be detected by the sen
sors, due to the objects dis
tance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effectiveness
of the sensor.

Types of warning indicator and sound
•If an object is in between sensors
or close to a sensor, the displayed
indicator may differ from the above
illustration.
•Do not wash the vehicle's sensor
with high pressure water.
•When you shift into the R
(Reverse) position and one or
more of the below situation occurs,
this may indicate a malfunction
with the parking assist system.
•You don't hear an audible warning
sound or the buzzer sounds inter
mittently.
If this occurs, we recommend that
the system be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Nonoperational conditions of rear
parking assist system
The rear parking assist system may
not operate normally when:
• Moisture is frozen to the sensor.
• The sensor is covered with dirt or debris such as snow or ice, or the
sensor cover is blocked.
There is a possibility of a parking
assist system malfunction when:
• Driving on uneven road surfaces such as unpaved roads, gravel,
bumps, or gradient.
• Objects generating excessive noise such as vehicle horns, loud motor
cycle engines, or truck air brakes
can interfere with the sensor.
• Heavy rain or water spray is present.
• Wireless transmitters or mobile phones are present near the sensor.
• The sensor is covered with snow.
• Any nonfactory equipment or acces sories have been installed, or if the
vehicle bumper height or sensor
installation has been modified.

Detecting range may decrease
when:
• Outside air temperature is extremely hot or cold.
• Undetectable objects smaller than about 1 m (40 in.) and narrower
than about 14 cm (6 in.) in diameter.
The following objects may not be
recognized by the sensor:
• Sharp or slim objects such as ropes, chains or small poles.
• Objects, which tend to absorb sen sor frequency such as clothes,spongy material or snow.
Information
The system may not recognize objects
less than 30 cm (12 in.) from the sen
sor, or it may sense an incorrect distance.
Do not push, scratch or strike the
sensor with any hard objects that
could damage the surface of the
sensor. Sensor damage could occur.
