WARNING - if equipped
with rollover sensor
If your vehicle is equipped with
side and curtain air bag, set the
ignition switch to OFF or ACC
position when the vehicle is
being towed.
The side and curtain air bag
may deploy when the ignition is
ON, and the rollover sensor
detects the situation as a rollover.WARNING
• Do not hit or allow any objects
to impact the locations where
air bag or sensors are installed.
This may cause unexpected
air bag deployment, which
could result in serious per-
sonal injury or death.
• If the installation location or
angle of the sensors is altered
in any way, the air bags may
deploy when they should not
or they may not deploy when
they should, causing severe
injury or death.
Therefore, do not try to per-
form maintenance on or
around the air bag sensors.
We recommend that the sys-
tem be serviced by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

• Problems may arise if the sen-
sor installation angles are
changed due to the deforma-
tion of the front bumper, body,
front door or B pillar and C pil-
lars where side collision sen-
sors are installed. We recom-
mend that the system be serv-
iced by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
•Y
our vehicle has been designed
to absorb impact and deploy the
air bag(s) in certain collisions.
Installing bumper guards or
replacing a bumper with non-
genuine parts may adversely
affect your vehicles collision
and air bag deployment per-
formance.

Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to inflate
in a frontal collision depending on
the intensity, speed or angles of
impact of the front collision.
❈The actual air bags in the vehicle may dif-
fer from the illustration.
Side impact and curtain air bags
(if equipped)Side impact and/or curtain air bags
are designed to inflate when an
impact is detected by side collision
sensors depending on the strength,
speed or angles of impact resulting
from a side impact collision.
Although the front air bags (driver’s
and front passenger’s air bags) are
designed to inflate only in frontal col-
lisions, they also may inflate in other
types of collisions if the front impact
sensors detect a sufficient impact.
Side air bags (side impact and/or
curtain air bags) are designed to
inflate only in side impact collisions,
but they may inflate in other colli-
sions if the side impact sensors
detect a sufficient impact.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved
roads or sidewalks, air bags may
deploy. Drive carefully on unim-
proved roads or on surfaces not
designed for vehicle traffic to prevent
unintended air bag deployment.

✽NOTICE - if equipped with
rollover sensor
Also, the side impact and curtain air
bags are designed to inflate when a
rollover is detected by a rollover sen-
sor.
Air bag non-inflation conditions
• In certain low-speed 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.• Air bags are not designed to inflate
in rear collisions, because occu-
pants are moved backward by the
force of the impact. In this case,
inflated air bags would not be able
to provide any additional benefit.

Safety features of your vehicle
• Front air bags may not inflate in
side impact collisions, because
occupants move to the direction of
the collision, and thus in side
impacts, frontal air bag deployment
would not provide additional occu-
pant protection.
• However, if equipped with side
impact and curtain air bags, the 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
"under-ride" situation because
deceleration forces that are detect-
ed by sensors may be significantly
reduced by such “under-ride” colli-
sions.

• Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because front air
bag deployment would not provide
additional occupant protection.
✽NOTICE - if equipped with
rollover sensor
However, if equipped with side
impact and curtain air bags, the air
bags may inflate in a rollover, when
it is detected by the rollover sensor.
✽NOTICE - without rollover
sensor
However, side and/or curtain air
bags may inflate when the vehicle is
rolled over by a side impact colli-
sion, if the vehicle is equipped with
side impact air bags and curtain air
bags.
• Air bags may not inflate if the vehi-
cle collides with objects such as util-
ity poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated to one area
and the full force of the impact is not
delivered to the sensors.

Inside rearview mirror
Adjust the rearview mirror so that the
centre view through the rear window
is seen. Make this adjustment before
you start driving.
Day/night rearview mirror
(if equipped)
Make this adjustment before you
start driving and whilst the day/night
lever is in the day position.
Pull the day/night lever toward you to
reduce glare from the headlights of
vehicles behind you during night
driving.
Remember that you lose some
rearview clarity in the night position.Electric chromic 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. The
sensor mounted in the mirror senses
the light level around the vehicle, and
automatically controls the headlight
glare from vehicles behind you.
When the engine is running, the glare
is automatically controlled by the sen-
sor mounted in the rearview mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted
into R (Reverse), the mirror will auto-
matically go to the brightest setting in
order to improve the drivers view
behind the vehicle.
MIRRORS
WARNING - Rear visibility
Do not place objects in the rear
seat or cargo area which would
interfere with your vision out
the rear window.
ODM042048
CAUTION
When cleaning the mirror, use a
paper towel or similar material
dampened with glass cleaner.
Do not spray glass cleaner
directly on the mirror as that
may cause the liquid cleaner to
enter the mirror housing.

WARNING
Do not adjust the rearview mir-
ror whilst the vehicle is moving.
This could result in loss of con-
trol, and an accident which
could cause death, serious
injury or property damage.
WARNING
Do not modify the inside mirror
and do not install a wide mirror.
It could result in injury, during
an accident or deployment of
the air bag.

Features of your vehicle
The rear parking assist system
assists the driver during backward
movement of the vehicle by chiming
if any object is sensed within a dis-
tance of 120 cm (47 in.) behind the
vehicle. This system is a supplemen-
tal system and it is not intended to
nor does it replace the need for
extreme care and attention of the
driver. The sensing range and
objects detectable by the back sen-
sors are limited. Whenever backing-
up, pay as much attention to what is
behind you as you would in a vehicle
without a rear parking assist system.
Operation of the rear parking
assist system
Operating condition
• This system will activate when the
indicator on the rear parking assist
OFF button is not illuminated. If
you desire to deactivate the rear
parking assist system, press the
rear parking assist OFF button
again. (The indicator on the button
will illuminate.)
• This system will activate when back-
ing up with the ignition switch ON.
If the vehicle is moving at a speed
over 6 mph (10 km/h), the system
may not be activated correctly.
REAR PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
ODM042232
WARNING
The rear parking assist system
is a supplementary function
only. The operation of the rear
parking assist system can be
affected by several factors
(including environmental condi-
tions). It is the responsibility of
the driver to always check the
area behind the vehicle before
and whilst backing up.
