58 3Proper seated position for OCS
If the “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF”
indicator is on when an adult is seat-
ed in the front passenger seat, place
the ignition switch to the LOCK/OFF
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
the system to detect the person and
to enable the passenger air bag. If
the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator is still on, ask the passen-
ger to move to the rear seat.
✽NOTICE
The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator illuminates for approxi-
mately 4 seconds after the ignition
switch is in the ON position or after
the engine is started. If the front
passenger seat is occupied, the OCS
will then classify the front passenger
after several more seconds.

WARNING
Never allow an adult passenger
to ride in the front passenger
seat when the “PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF” indicator is illuminat-
ed. During a collision, the air bag
will not inflate if the indicator is
illuminated. Have your passen-
ger move to the rear seat.

Safety features of your vehicle
64 3Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated and the colli-
sion energy is absorbed by the vehi-
cle structure.
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 illumi-
nate when the ignition switch is in the
ON position, or continuously 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
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death, take the follow-
ing precautions:
•Do not attempt to modify or
disconnect the SRS compo-
nents or wiring, including the
addition of any kind of badges
to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure.
•Do not place objects over or
near the air bag modules on
the steering wheel, instrument
panel, or the front passen-
ger's panel above the glove
box.
•Clean the air bag pad covers
with a soft cloth moistened
with plain water. Solvents or
cleaners could adversely
affect the air bag covers and
proper deployment of the sys-
tem.
•Always have inflated air bags
replaced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

Additional safety precautions
Passengers should not move out of
or change seats while the vehicle is
moving.A passenger who is not
wearing a seat belt during a crash or
emergency stop can be thrown
against the inside of the vehicle,
against other occupants, or be ejected
from the vehicle.
Do not use any accessories on seat
belts.Devices claiming to improve
occupant comfort or reposition the
seat belt can reduce the protection
provided by the seat belt and increase
the chance of serious injury in a crash
Do not modify the front seats.
Modification of the front seats could
interfere with the operation of the sup-
plemental restraint system sensing
components or side air bags.
Do not place items under the front
seats.Placing items under the front
seats could interfere with the opera-
tion of the supplemental restraint sys-
tem sensing components and wiring
harnesses.
Do not cause impact to the doors.
Impact to the doors when the ignition
switch is in the ON position may cause
the air bags to inflate.
Adding equipment to or modifying
your air bag equipped vehicle
If you modify your vehicle by changing
your vehicle's frame, bumper system,
front end or side sheet metal or ride
height, this may affect the operation of
your vehicle's air bag system.
(Continued)
•If components of the air bag
system must be discarded, or if
the vehicle must be scrapped,
certain safety precautions
must be observed. Consult an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
the necessary information.
Failure to follow these precau-
tions could increase the risk of
personal injury.

WARNING
In order to prevent theft of your
vehicle, do not leave spare keys
anywhere in your vehicle. Your
immobilizer password is a cus-
tomer unique password and
should be kept confidential.
CAUTION
The transponder in your key is
an important part of the immobi-
lizer system. It is designed to
give years of trouble-free serv-
ice, however you should avoid
exposure to moisture, static
electricity and rough handling.
Immobilizer system malfunction
could occur.
If you suspect your smart key might
have sustained some damage, or
you feel your smart key is not work-
ing correctly, contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
✽NOTICE
An inappropriately disposed
battery can be harmful to
the environment and human
health. Dispose the battery
according to your local
law(s) and regulation.
Immobilizer System
The immobilizer system protects your
vehicle from theft. If an improperly
coded key (or other device) is used,
the engine’s fuel system is disabled.
When the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position, the immobilizer sys-
tem indicator should come on briefly,
then go off. If the indicator starts to
blink, the system does not recognize
the coding of the key.
Place the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF position, then place the
ignition switch to the ON position
again.
The system may not recognize your
key’s coding if another immobilizer
key or other metal object (i.e., key
chain) is near the key. The engine
may not start because the metal may
interrupt the transponder signal from
transmitting normally.
If the system repeatedly does not
recognize the coding of the key, con-
tact your HYUNDAI dealer.Do not attempt to alter this system or
add other devices to it. Electrical
problems could result that may make
your vehicle inoperable.
WARNING -Smart key
Leaving children unattended in a
vehicle with the smart key is
dangerous. Children copy adults
and they could press the engine
start/stop button. It would enable
children to operate power win-
dows or other controls, 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.

"Limp Home" Mode and Related
Procedures
If the immobilizer warning indicator
blinks for five seconds when the igni-
tion key is turned to the "ON" posi-
tion, this indicates the immobilizer
system requires service. The engine
cannot be started without using the
procedure below.
The following procedure describes
how to start the engine using the
limp home function (0, 1, 2, 3 as a
sample password).
✽NOTICE

when the vehicle is first delivered to
you. If you do not have a password,
consult your authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
1. To activate the password, turn the
ignition key "ON" and "OFF"
according to the digit numbers.
The immobilizer indicator will blink
along with the operation of the
ignition key. For example, turn the
ignition key once for digit number
"1", and twice for "2", and so on.For the digit number "0", you must
cycle the ignition key 10 times.
2. Wait for 3~10 seconds.
3. You may set the remaining number
of digits by following steps 1 and 2.
4. If all of the four password digits
have been successfully entered,
turn the ignition key "ON" and
check that the immobilizer indica-
tor illuminates. From this time, you
have to start your engine within 30
seconds. If you try to start your
engine after 30 seconds, your
engine will not start.
✽NOTICE
If the engine stalls while driving in
the "limp home" mode, you can
start your engine within 3 seconds
without re-entering the password.
If the immobilizer indicator blinks for
five seconds, you must re-enter the
password (steps 1~4).
After performing the limp home acti-
vation procedure, consult with your
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible.
