Side impact air bag (if equipped)
❈The actual air bags in the vehicle may dif-
fer from the illustration.
Your vehicle is equipped with a side
impact air bag in each front seat.The purpose of the air bag is to provide
the vehicle's driver and/or the front pas-
senger with additional protection than
that offered by the seat belt alone.
The side impact air bags are designed to
deploy during certain side-impact colli-
sions, depending on the crash severity,
angle, speed and point of impact.
The side air bags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact situations.
WARNING
Do not allow the 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 passengers when they are
seated on seats equipped with side
and air bags.

(Continued)
• Sitting improperly or out of posi-
tion can result in serious or fatal
injury in a crash. All occupants
should sit upright with the seat
back in an upright position, cen-
tred on the seat cushion with
their seat belt on, legs comfort-
ably extended and their feet on
the floor until the vehicle is
parked and the ignition key is
removed.
• The SRS air bag system must
deploy very rapidly to provide
protection in a crash. If an occu-
pant is out of position because of
not wearing a seat belt, the air
bag may forcefully contact the
occupant causing serious or fatal
injuries.

WARNING
• The side impact air bag is sup-
plemental to the driver's and the
passenger's seat belt systems
and is not a substitute for them.
Therefore your seat belts must be
worn at all times while the vehicle
is in motion. The air bags deploy
in certain side impact conditions
severe enough to cause signifi-
cant injury to the vehicle occu-
pants.
• For best protection from the side
impact air bag system and to
avoid being injured by the
deploying side impact air bag,
both front seat occupants should
sit in an upright position with the
seat belt properly fastened. The
passenger's arms and hands
should be placed on their laps.

(Continued)
• Do not use any accessory seat
covers.
• Use of seat covers could reduce
or prevent the effectiveness of
the system.
• Do not install any accessories on
the side or near the side impact
air bag.
• Do not place any objects over the
air bag or between the air bag
and yourself.
• Do not place any objects (an
umbrella, bag, etc.) between the
front door and the front seat. Such
objects may become dangerous
projectiles and cause injury if the
supplemental side impact air bag
inflates.
• To prevent unexpected deploy-
ment of the side impact air bag that
may result in personal injury, avoid
impact to the side impact sensor
when the ignition key is on.
• If the seat or seat cover is dam-
aged, we recommend that the
system be serviced by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.

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.
✽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, we recommend that you 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.We recommend
that the system be serviced by a
HYUNDAI authorised 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.
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.

THEFT-ALARM SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
This system is designed to provide pro-
tection from unauthorised entry into the
car. This system is operated in three
stages: the first is the "Armed" stage, the
second is the "Theft-alarm" stage, and
the third is the "Disarmed" stage. If trig-
gered, the system provides an audible
alarm with blinking of the hazard warning
lights.
Armed stage
Park the car and stop the engine. Arm
the system as described below.
1. Remove the ignition key from the igni-
tion switch and exit the vehicle.
2. Make sure that all doors (and tailgate)
and engine bonnet are closed and
latched.
3. Lock the doors using the transmitter of
the keyless entry system.
After completion of the steps above, the
hazard warning lights will blink once to
indicate that the system is armed.
If any door (or tailgate) or engine bonnet
remains open, the hazard warning lights
will not blink and the theft-alarm will not
arm. If all doors (and tailgate) and engine
bonnet are closed after the lock button is
pressed, the hazard warning lights blink
once.
✽NOTICE
The theft-alarm system by the key can
be activated by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer. If you want this feature, we
recommend that you consult a

Do not arm the system until all pas-
sengers have left the vehicle. If the
system is armed whilst a passen-
ger(s) remains in the vehicle, the
alarm may be activated when the
remaining passenger(s) leave the
vehicle. If any door (or tailgate) or
engine bonnet is opened within 30
seconds after the system enters the
armed stage, the system is disarmed
to prevent an unnecessary alarm.
