Introduction
Petrol engine
Unleaded
For the optimal vehicle performance,
we recommend you use unleaded
petrol which has an octane rating of
RON (Research Octane Number) 95 /
AKI (Anti Knock Index) 91 or higher.
(Do not use methanol blended fuels.)
You may use unleaded petrol with an
octane rating of RON 91-94 / AKI 87-
90 but it may result in slight perform-
ance reduction of the vehicle.
Your new vehicle is designed to
obtain maximum performance with
UNLEADED FUEL, as well as min-
imise exhaust emissions and spark
plug fouling.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
•Do not "top off" after the noz-
zle automatically shuts off
when refuelling.
•Always check that the fuel cap
is installed securely to pre-
vent fuel spillage in the event
of an accident.
WARNING
NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The
use of leaded fuel is detrimental
to the catalytic converter and
will damage the engine control
system’s oxygen sensor and
affect emission control.
Never add any fuel system
cleaning agents to the fuel tank
other than what has been speci-
fied (We recommend that you
consult a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer for details.)

The Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt System
consists mainly of the following com-
ponents. Their locations are shown in
the illustration above:
1. SRS air bag warning light
2. Retractor pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module
4. EFD (Emergency Fastening Device)
System (if equipped)
✽NOTICE
The sensor that activates the SRS air
bag is connected with the pre–ten-
sioner seat belts. The SRS air bag
warning light on the instrument panel
will illuminate for approximately 6
seconds after the Engine Start/Stop
button is pressed to the ON position,
and then it should turn off.
If the pre-tensioner is not working
properly, the warning light will illu-
minate even if the SRS air bag is not
malfunctioning. If the warning light
does not illuminate, stays illuminated
or illuminates when the vehicle is
being driven, we recommend the pre-
tensioner seat belts and/or SRS air
bags be inspected by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer as soon as possi-
ble.
✽NOTICE
• Both the driver's and front pas-
senger's pre-tensioner seat belts
may be activated in certain frontal
or side collisions or rollovers (if
equipped with rollover sensor).
• The pre-tensioners will be activat-
ed even if the seat belts are not
worn at the time of the collision.
• When the pre-tensioner seat belts
are activated, a loud noise may be
heard and fine dust, which may
appear to be smoke, may be visible
in the passenger compartment.
These are normal operating condi-
tions and are not hazardous.
• Although it is non-toxic, the fine
dust may cause skin irritation and
should not be breathed for pro-
longed periods. Wash all exposed
skin areas thoroughly after an
accident in which the pre-tension-
er seat belts were activated.

Safety system of your vehicle
Pre-safe Seat belt (PSB)
(if equipped)
The purpose of the pre-safe seat belt
is to tighten the seat belt when a col-
lision is sensed, driving emergency
braking, or when a loss of control is
sensed.The pre-safe seat belt warning will
turn on if there is a problem with your
pre-safe seat belt.
We recommend that the system be
checked by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer if :
The warning message comes on
whilst the vehicle is in motion. if the
PSB warning message disappeared,
the warning indicator (master symbol)
turns on.In order to maximize the safety of the
passenger, the pre-safe seat belt
system operates as below.
• Full retraction
The seat belt is tightened when:
- Emergency braking situation
occurs
- Losing control of the vehicle
- The vehicle senses the collision
situation by sensor (If equipped)
• Dynamic support
- Slippery frozen road
- The passenger leans to one side
• Slack removal
Other functions are tightening a
loose seat belt after vehicle speed
is over 9.3 mph (15 km/h) and
winding a loose seat belt after
unfastening the seat belt.
• Belt parking
When releasing the seat belt, if the
seat belt loosens, the motor will
wind up a loose seat belt to tight.

The pre-safe seat belt is a sup-
plementary system. The pre-
safe seat belt activates only
when the passenger is wearing
his/her seat belt.

Side air bags (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a side air
bag in each front and outboard rear
seat. The purpose of the air bag is to
provide the vehicle’s driver and/or the
front and outboard rear passenger with
additional 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 of
impact.
For vehicles equipped with a rollover
sensor the side and/or curtain air bags
and pre-tensioners on both sides of the
vehicle may deploy if a rollover or pos-
sible rollover is detected.
The side air bags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact or rollover sit-
uations. (Continued)
•Do not allow the front passen-
ger to place their feet or legs on
the dashboard.
•Do not allow the passenger to
ride in the front seat when the
front passenger’s air bag OFF
indicator is illuminated.
•No objects should be placed
over or near the air bag mod-
ules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, and the front
passenger's panel above the
glove box. Such objects could
cause harm if the vehicle is in a
crash severe enough to cause
the air bags to deploy.

They are designed to help protect the
heads of the front seat occupants
and the rear outboard seat occupants
in certain side impact collisions.
The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy only during certain side
impact collisions, depending on the
crash severity, angle, speed and
impact.
For vehicles equipped with a rollover
sensor the side and/or curtain air
bags on both sides of the vehicle
may deploy if a rollover or possible
rollover is detected.
The curtain air bags are not designed
to deploy in all side impact or rollover
situations.How does the air bags system
operate?
The SRS consists of the following
components:
1. Driver's front air bag module
2. Passenger's front air bag module
3. Side air bag modules
4. Curtain air bag modules
5. Retractor pre-tensioner assemblies
6. Air bag warning light
7. SRS control module (SRSCM)
8. Front impact sensors
9. Side impact sensors
10. Driver’s knee air bag module To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from inflating
curtain air bags, take the follow-
ing precautions:
•All seat occupants must wear
seat belts at all times to help
keep occupants positioned
properly.
•Properly secure child restraints
as far away from the door as
possible.
•Do not allow 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 seats.
•Do not open or repair the side
curtain air bags.

11. Driver’s and front passenger’s seat
belt buckle sensors (if equipped)
12. Emergency fastening device
(if equipped)
The SRSCM continually monitors
SRS components except for the
buckle sensor whilst the engine
start/stop button is ON to determine
if a crash impact is severe enough to
require air bag deployment or pre-
tensioner seat belt deployment.
SRS warning light
The SRS (Supplement Restraint
System) air bag warning light on the
instrument panel displays the air bag
symbol depicted in the illustration. The
system checks the air bag electrical
system for malfunctions. The light indi-
cates that there is a potential problem
with your air bag system, which could
include your side and/or curtain air
bags used for rollover protection (if
equipped with rollover sensor).
If your SRS malfunctions, the
air bag may not inflate properly
during an accident increasing
the risk of serious injury or
death.
If any of the following condi-
tions occur, your SRS is mal-
functioning:
•The light does not turn on for
approximately six seconds
when the Engine Start/Stop
button is in the ON position.
•The light stays on after illumi-
nating for approximately six
seconds.
•The light comes on whilst the
vehicle is in motion.
•The light blinks when the
engine is running.
We recommend that a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer inspect the
SRS as soon as possible if any
of these conditions occur.

During a moderate to severe frontal
collision, sensors will detect the vehi-
cle’s rapid deceleration. If the rate of
deceleration is high enough, the con-
trol unit will inflate the front air bags, at
the time and with the force needed.
The front air bags help protect the
driver and front passenger by
responding to frontal impacts in
which seat belts alone cannot provide
adequate restraint. When needed,
the side air bags help provide protec-
tion in the event of a side impact or
rollover by supporting the side upper
body area.
• Air bags are activated (able to
inflate if necessary) only when the
Engine Start/Stop button is in the
ON position.
• Air bags inflate in the event of a
severe frontal or side collision 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 colli-
sion and its direction. These two
factors determine whether the sen-
sors produce an electronic deploy-
ment/inflation signal.• Air bag deployment depends on a
number of factors including vehicle
speed, angles of impact and the
density and stiffness of the vehicles
or objects which your vehicle
impacts during a collision. The
determining 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 acci-
dent. 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 addition to inflating in serious
side collisions, vehicles equipped
with a rollover sensor, side and/or
curtain air bags will inflate if the
sensing system detects a rollover.
When a rollover is detected, curtain
air bags will remain inflated longer
to help provide protection from
ejection, especially when used in
conjunction with the seat belts (if
equipped with a rollover sensor).• To help provide protection, the air
bags must inflate rapidly. The
speed of air bag inflation is a con-
sequence of extremely short time
in which to inflate the air bag
between the occupant and the
vehicle structures before the occu-
pant impacts those structures. This
speed of inflation reduces the risk
of serious or life-threatening
injuries and is thus a necessary
part of air bag design.
However, the rapid air bag inflation
can also cause injuries which can
include facial abrasions, bruises
and broken 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 air
bag can cause fatal injuries, espe-
cially if the occupant is positioned
excessively close to the air bag.

To reduce the risk of an air bag
deploying unexpectedly and
causing serious injury or death:
•Do not hit or allow any objects
to impact the locations where
air bags or sensors are
installed.
•Do not perform maintenance
on or around the air bag sen-
sors. If the location or angle of
the sensors is altered, the air
bags may deploy when they
should not or may not deploy
when they should.
•Do not install bumper guards
or replace the bumper with a
non-genuine part. This may
adversely affect the collision
and air bag deployment per-
formance.

WARNING
Why didn’t my air bag go off in
a collision? (Air bags are not
designed to inflate in every
collision.)
There are certain types of accidents
in which the air bag would not be
expected to provide additional protec-
tion. These include rear impacts, sec-
ond or third collisions in multiple
impact accidents, as well as low
speed impacts. Damage to the vehicle
indicates a collision energy absorp-
tion, and is not an indicator of whether
or not an air bag should have inflated.

•Press the Engine Start/Stop
button to the OFF or ACC
position, when the vehicle is
being towed to prevent inad-
vertent air bag deployment.
•We recommend that all air bag
repairs are conducted by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
