Easy access function
(if equipped)
The system will move the driver's
seat automatically as follows:
• Without smart key system
- It will move the driver’s seat rear-
ward when the ignition key is
removed and front driver’s door is
opened.
- It will move the driver’s seat for-
ward when the ignition key is
inserted.
• With smart key system
- It will move the driver’s seat rear-
ward when the engine start/stop
button is changed to the OFF
position and front driver’s door is
opened.
- It will move the driver’s seat for-
ward when the engine start/stop
button is changed to the ACC or

You can activate or deactivate this
feature. Refer to "User settings" in
section 4.
Head restraint (for front seat)
The driver's and front passenger's
seats are equipped with a head
restraint for the occupant's safety and
comfort.
The head restraint not only provides
comfort for the driver and front pas-
senger, but also helps to protect the
head and neck in the event of a colli-
sion.
OHM038048N
WARNING
• For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the head
restraint should be adjusted so
the middle of the head restraint
is at the same height as the
centre of gravity of an occu-
pant's head. Generally, the cen-
tre of gravity of most people's
head is similar with the height
of the top of their eyes. Also,
adjust the head restraint as
close to your head as possible.
For this reason, the use of a
cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback is not
recommended.
• Do not operate the vehicle with
the head restraints removed as
severe injury to the occupants
may occur in the event of an
accident. Head restraints may
provide protection against neck
injuries when properly adjust-
ed.
• Do not adjust the head restraint
position of the driver's seat
whilst the vehicle is in motion.

CAUTION
If the pre-tensioner seat belt is
not working properly, the SRS
air bag warning light will illumi-
nate even if there is no malfunc-
tion of the SRS air bag. If the
SRS air bag warning light does
not illuminate when the ignition
key is turned to ON, or if it
remains illuminated after illumi-
nating for approximately 6 sec-
onds, or if it illuminates whilst
the vehicle is being driven, we
recommend that the system be
inspected by a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer.
WARNING
• Pre-tensioners seat belts sys-
tems are designed to operate
only one time. After activa-
tion, pre-tensioner seat belts
must be replaced. All seat
belts, of any type, should
always be replaced after they
have been worn during a colli-
sion.
• The pre-tensioner seat belt
assembly mechanisms
become hot during activation.
Do not touch the pre-tension-
er seat belt assemblies for
several minutes after they
have been activated.
• Do not attempt to inspect or
replace the pre-tensioner seat
belts yourself. We recommend
that the system be inspected
by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
• Do not attempt to service or
repair the pre-tensioner seat
belt system in any manner.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Improper handling of the pre-
tensioner seat belt assem-
blies, and failure to heed the
warnings not to strike, modify,
inspect, replace, service or
repair the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies may lead to
improper operation or inad-
vertent activation and serious
injury.
• Always wear the seat belts
when driving or riding in a
motor vehicle.
• If the vehicle or pre-tensioner
seat belt must be discarded,
we recommend that you con-
tact a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
CAUTION
Body work on the front area of
the vehicle may damage the pre-
tensioner seat belt system.
Therefore, we recommend that
the system be serviced by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

WARNING
• If an air bag deploys, there
may be a loud noise followed
by a fine dust released in the
vehicle. These conditions are
normal and are not hazardous
- the air bags are packed in
this fine powder. The dust
generated during air bag
deployment may cause skin
or eye irritation as well as
aggravate asthma for some
persons. Always wash all
exposed skin areas thorough-
ly with lukewarm water and a
mild soap after an accident in
which the air bags were
deployed.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• When installing a container of
liquid air freshener inside the
vehicle, do not place it near
the instrument cluster nor on
the instrument panel surface.
It may become dangerous pro-
jectiles and cause injury if the
passenger's air bag inflates.(Continued)
• The SRS can function only
when the ignition key is in the
"ON" position. If the SRS air
bag warning light does not
illuminate, or continuously
remains on after illuminating
for about 6 seconds when the
ignition key is turned to the
ON position, or after the
engine is started, comes on
whilst driving, the SRS is not
working properly.
If this occurs, we recommend
that the system be inspected
by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
• Before you replace a fuse or
disconnect a battery terminal,
turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK position and remove
the ignition key. Never remove
or replace the air bag related
fuse(s) when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
Failure to heed this warning
will cause the SRS air bag
warning light to illuminate.

(Continued)
• If the SRS air bag warning light
remains illuminated whilst the
vehicle is being driven, we rec-
ommend that the system be
inspected by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
• Air bags can only be used
once – we recommend that the
system be replaced by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
• The SRS is designed to deploy
the front air bags only when an
impact is sufficiently severe
and when the impact angle is
less than 30° from the forward
longitudinal axis of the vehi-
cle. Additionally, the air bags
will only deploy once. Seat
belts must be worn at all times.
• Front air bags are not intended
to deploy in side-impact, rear-
impact or rollover crashes. In
addition, front air bags will not
deploy in frontal crashes
below the deployment thresh-
old.
(Continued)(Continued)
• A child restraint system must
never be placed in the front
seat. The infant or child could
be severely injured or killed by
an air bag deployment in case
of an accident. NB See section
- Passenger's front air bag
ON/OFF switch (if equipped).
• Children age 12 and under
must always be properly
restrained in the rear seat.
Never allow children to ride in
the front passenger seat. If a
child over 12 must be seated in
the front seat, he or she must
be properly belted and the seat
should be moved as far back
as possible.
• For maximum safety protection
in all types of crashes, all occu-
pants including the driver
should always wear their seat
belts whether or not an air bag
is also provided at their seating
position to minimise the risk of
severe injury or death in the
event of a crash.
(Continued)(Continued)
Do not sit or lean unnecessari-
ly close to the air bag whilst the
vehicle is in motion.
• Sitting improperly or out of
position can result in serious
or fatal injury in a crash. All
occupants should sit upright
with the seat back in an upright
position, centred on the seat
cushion with their seat belt on,
legs comfortably extended and
their feet on the floor until the
vehicle is parked and the igni-
tion key is removed.
• The SRS air bag system must
deploy very rapidly to provide
protection in a crash. If an
occupant is out of position
because of not wearing a seat
belt, the air bag may forcefully
contact the occupant causing
serious or fatal injuries.

ment of the side impact air bag
that may result in personal
injury, avoid impact to the side
impact sensor when the igni-
tion key is on.
