Where are the air bags?
Driver’s and passenger’s front
air bags
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) and lap/shoulder belts at both
the driver and passenger seating
positions.
The SRS consists of air bags which
are located in the centre of the steer-
ing wheel and the passenger's side
front panel pad above the glove box.
The air bags are labelled with the let-
ters “AIR BAG” embossed on the pad
covers.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide
the vehicle's driver and front passen-
ger with additional protection than
that offered by the seat belt system
alone in case of a frontal impact of
sufficient severity.To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from inflating
front air bags, take the following
precautions:
•Seat belts must be worn at all
times to help keep occupants
positioned properly.
•Move your seat as far back as
possible from front air bags,
whilst still maintaining control
of the vehicle.
•Never lean against the door or
centre console.
•Do not allow the front passen-
ger to place their feet or legs on
the instrument panel.
•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.

Side air bags (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a side air
bag in each front seat. The purpose of
the air bag is to provide the vehicle’s
driver and the front 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.
The side air bags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact situations.

(Continued)
•Do not use any accessory
seat covers. This could reduce
or prevent the effectiveness
of the system.
•Do not place any objects over
the air bag or between the air
bag and yourself.
•Do not place any objects
between the door and the
seat. They may become dan-
gerous projectiles if the side
air bag inflates.
•Do not install any accessories
on the side or near the side air
bags.
•Do not cause impact to the
doors when the ignition
switch is in the ON position as
this may cause the side air
bags to inflate.
•If the seat or seat cover is
damaged, we recommend that
the system be serviced by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from an inflating
side air bag, take the following
precautions:
•Seat belts must be worn at all
times to help keep occupants
positioned properly.
•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.
•Hold the steering wheel at the 9
o’clock and 3 o’clock positions,
to minimise the risk of injuries
to your hands and arms.

WARNING

Safety system of your vehicle
• To help provide protection, the air
bags must inflate rapidly. The
speed of air bag inflation is a con-
sequence of the 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.You can take steps to reduce the risk
of being injured by an inflating air
bag. The greatest risk is sitting too
close to the air bag. An air bag needs
space to inflate. It is recommended
that drivers sit as far as possible
from the centre of the steering wheel
whilst still maintaining control of the
vehicle.
When the SRSCM detects a suffi-
ciently severe impact to the front of
the vehicle, it will automatically
deploy the front air bags.

Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated and the colli-
sion energy is absorbed by the vehi-
cle structure.
SRS care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-
free and there are no parts you can
safely service by yourself. If the SRS
air bag warning light does not illumi-
nate when the ignition switch is in the
ON position, or continuously remains
on, we recommend that the system
be immediately inspected by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
We recommend any work on the
SRS system, such as removing,
installing, repairing, or any work on
the steering wheel, the front passen-
ger's panel, front seats and roof rails
be performed by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer. Improper handling
of the SRS system may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
OLF034058
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death take the follow-
ing precautions:
•Do not attempt to modify or
disconnect the SRS compo-
nents or wiring, including the
addition of any kind of badges
to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure.
•Do not place objects over or
near the air bag modules on
the steering wheel, instrument
panel, and the front passen-
ger's panel above the glove
box.
•Clean the air bag pad covers
with a soft cloth moistened
with plain water. Solvents or
cleaners could adversely
affect the air bag covers and
proper deployment of the sys-
tem.
•We recommend that inflated
air bags be replaced by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.

STEERING WHEEL
Electric power steering (EPS)
The system assists you with steering
the vehicle. If the engine is off or if
the power steering system becomes
inoperative, the vehicle may still be
steered, but it will require increased
steering effort.
Also, the steering effort becomes
heavier as the vehicle’s speed
increases and becomes lighter as
the vehicle’s speed decreases for
better control of the steering wheel.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, we recommend
that the system be checked by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.If the EPS System does not oper-
ate normally, the warning light
( ) will illuminate on the instru-
ment cluster. The steering wheel
may become difficult to control or
operate. Take your vehicle to an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer and
have the system checked as soon
as possible.
Information
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
• The steering effort may be high
immediately after placing the igni-
tion switch or the Engine Start/Stop
button in the ON position.
This happens as the system per-
forms the EPS system diagnostics.
When the diagnostics is completed,
the steering wheel will return to its
normal condition.
(Continued)(Continued)
• A click noise may be heard from the
EPS relay after the ignition switch is
placed to the ON or LOCK/OFF
position (Without Smart key system).
A click noise may be heard from the
EPS relay after the Engine Start/Stop
button is in the ON or OFF position.
(With Smart key system)
• Motor noise may be heard when the
vehicle is stationary or driving slow-
ly.
• When you operate the steering
wheel when the temperature is low,
abnormal noise may occur. If the
temperature rises, the noise will dis-
appear. This is a normal condition.
• When the vehicle is stationary, if
you turn the steering wheel all the
way to the left or right continuously,
the steering wheel effort increases.
This is not a system malfunction. As
time passes, the steering wheel
effort will return to its normal con-
dition.
