For installation, CRS ISOFIX con-
necters have to engage with the
vehicles ISOFIX anchorages (listen
for a CLICK, check potential visual
indicators on the CRS and cross-
check by pulling).
CRS with universal approval to rele-
vant regulations need to be fixed
additionally with a top tether strap
connected to the corresponding top
tether anchorage point in the back
rest.
The installing and the use of a child-
seat has to be done according to the
installing-manual, which is provided
with the ISOFIX-seat.To secure the child restraint seat:
1. To engage the child restraint seat
to the ISOFIX lower anchor, insert
the child restraint seat latch into
the ISOFIX anchor. Listen for the
audible “click” sound.
2. Connect the tether strap hook to
the child restraint hook holder and
tighten to secure the seat. (Refer
to the previous page.)
WARNING
• When using the vehicle's
"ISOFIX" 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
securely in their seat belt
buckles and the seat belt
must be retracted behind the
child restraint to prevent the
child from reaching and tak-
ing 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
strangulation and a serious
injury or death to the child in
the child restraint.
• Do not place anything around
the ISOFIX anchors. Also
make sure that the seat belt is
not caught in the ISOFIX
anchors.
CAUTION
Do not allow the rear seat belt to
get scratched or pinched by the
ISOFIX-seat latch and ISOFIX
anchor during the installation.

How does the air bag system
operate?
• Air bags are activated (able to
inflate if necessary) only when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON
or START position.
• Air bags inflate instantly in the
event of a serious frontal or side
collision in order to help protect the
occupants from serious physical
injury.
• There is no single speed at which
the air bags will inflate.
Generally, air bags are designed to
inflate based upon the severity of a
collision and its direction. These
two factors determine whether the
sensors produce an electronic
deployment/inflation signal.
• Air bag deployment depends on a
number of factors including vehicle
speed, angles of impact and the
density and stiffness of the vehi-
cles or objects which your vehicle
hits in the collision. The determin-
ing, factors are not limited to those
mentioned above.• The front air bags will completely
inflate and deflate in an instant.
It is virtually impossible for you to
see the air bags inflate during an
accident.
It is much more likely that you will
simply see the deflated air bags
hanging out of their storage com-
partments after the collision.
• In order to help provide protection
in a severe collision, the air bags
must inflate rapidly. The speed of
air bag inflation is a consequence
of an extremely short time in which
a collision occurs and the need to
get the air bag between the occu-
pant and the vehicle structures
before the occupant impacts those
structures. This speed of inflation
reduces the risk of serious or life-
threatening injuries in a severe col-
lision and is thus a necessary part
of air bag design.
However, air bag inflation can also
cause injuries which can include
facial abrasions, bruises and bro-
ken bones because the inflation
speed also causes the air bags to
expand with a great deal of force.• There are even circumstances
under which contact with the
steering wheel air bag can cause
fatal injuries, especially if the
occupant is positioned exces-
sively close to the steering wheel.
WARNING
• To avoid severe personal
injury or death caused by
deploying air bags in a colli-
sion, the driver should sit as
far back from the steering
wheel air bag as possible (at
least 250 mm away). The front
passenger should always
move their seat as far back as
possible and sit back in their
seat.
• Air bags inflate instantly in
the event of a collision.
Passengers may be injured by
the air bag expansion force if
they are not seated properly.
• Air bag inflation may cause
injuries including facial or
bodily abrasions, injuries
from broken glasses or burns.

The ignition switch must be in the ON
position to be able to raise or lower
the windows. Each door has a Power
Window switch to control that door's
window. The driver has a Power
Window Lock switch which can block
the operation of passenger windows.
The power windows will operate for
approximately 30 seconds after the
ignition switch is placed in the ACC
or LOCK/OFF position. However, if
the front doors are opened, the
Power Windows cannot be operated
even within the 30 second period.✽NOTICE
• In cold and wet climates, power
windows may not work properly
due to freezing conditions.
• Whilst driving with the rear win-
dows down or with the sunroof (if
equipped) opened (or partially
opened), your vehicle may demon-
strate a wind buffeting or pulsation
noise. This noise is normal and can
be reduced or eliminated by taking
the following actions. If the noise
occurs with one or both of the rear
windows down, partially lower
both front windows approximately
2.5 cm. If you experience the noise
with the sunroof open, slightly close
the sunroof.
Window opening and closing
To open or close a window, press
down or pull up the front portion of
the corresponding switch to the first
detent position (5).

✽NOTICE
• Make sure to refuel your
vehicle according to the "Fuel
Requirements" suggested in chap-
ter 1.
• Do not spill fuel on the exterior
surfaces of the vehicle. Any type of
fuel spilled on painted surfaces
may damage the paint.(Continued)
• When refuelling, always move
the shift lever to the P (Park)
position (for automatic
transaxle) or first gear or R
(Reverse, for manual transaxle),
set the parking brake, and
place the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF position. Sparks
produced by electrical compo-
nents related to the engine can
ignite fuel vapourscausing a
fire.
• Do not use matches or a
lighter and do not smoke or
leave a lit cigarette in your
vehicle whilst at a service sta-
tion, especially during refu-
elling.
• Do not over-fill or top-off your
vehicle tank, which can cause
petrol spillage.
(Continued)(Continued)
• If a fire breaks out during refu-
elling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately con-
tact the manager of the serv-
ice station and then contact
the local fire department.
Follow any safety instructions
they provide.
• If pressurised fuel sprays out,
it can cover your clothes or
skin and thus subject you to
the risk of fire and burns.
Always remove the fuel cap
carefully and slowly. If the cap
is venting fuel or if you hear a
hissing sound, wait until the
condition stops before com-
pletely removing the cap.
• Always check that the fuel cap
is installed securely to pre-
vent fuel spillage in the event
of an accident.
CAUTION
If the fuel filler cap requires
replacement, use only a genuine
HYUNDAI cap or the equivalent
specified for your vehicle. An
incorrect fuel filler cap can
result in a serious malfunction
of the fuel system or emission
control system.
