Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly.
When the seatback is reclined, the
shoulder belt is not as effective
because it will not be snug against
your chest. Instead, it will be in front
of you. During an accident, you could
be thrown into the seat belt, causing
neck or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,
the greater chance the passenger’s
hips will slide under the lap belt or
the passenger’s neck will strike the
shoulder belt.
Seat cushion height
To change the height of the seat
cushion:
Push down on the lever several
times, to lower the seat cushion.
Pull up on the lever several times,
to raise the seat cushion.
Power adjustment
The front seat can be adjusted by
using the control switches located on
the outside of the seat cushion. Before
driving, adjust the seat to the proper
position so that you can easily control
the steering wheel, foot pedals and
controls on the instrument panel.
Safety system of your vehicle
OLF034004NNEVER allow children in the
vehicle unattended. The power
seats are operable when the
engine is turned off.

Electric Power Steering (EPS)
The system assists you with steering
the vehicle. If the engine is turned off
or if the power steering system
becomes inoperative, you may still
steer the vehicle, but it will require
increased steering effort.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the system
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Information
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
• The steering effort may be high
immediately after placing the engine
Start/Stop button is in the ON posi-
tion.
This happens as the system per-
forms the EPS system diagnostics.
When the diagnostics are completed,
the steering wheel will return to its
normal condition.
• A click noise may be heard from the
EPS relay after the engine Start/Stop
button is in the ON/OFF position.
• Motor noise may be heard when the
vehicle is at a stop or at a low driving
speed.
• If the outside ambient temperature
is low, when you operate the steer-
ing wheel a noise from the electric
power steering may occur. As the
temperature increases, the noise will
disappear.
i
If the Electric Power Steering
System does not operate nor-
mally, the warning light ( ) will
illuminate on the instrument
cluster. You may steer the vehi-
cle, but it will require increased
steering efforts. Take your vehi-
cle to an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer and have the system
checked as soon as possible.

The range is the estimated distance
the vehicle can be driven with the
remaining fuel in the fuel tank and
high-voltage (hybrid) battery.
If the estimated distance is below
1 mi. (1 km), the trip computer will
display “---” as the range.
Information
• When the vehicle is not on level
ground, or when the battery power
is interrupted, the range may not be
correctly calculated.
• The range may differ from the actu-
al distance, as it is estimated with
the calculable driving distance.
• The trip computer may not recog-
nize additional fuel adding, when
less than 1.6 gallons (6 liters) of fuel
is added.
• The fuel economy and range may
significantly vary in accordance
with driving conditions, driving
habits, and vehicle conditions.
Average Fuel Economy (2)
The average fuel economy is calcu-
lated by the total driving distance
and fuel consumption since the last
average fuel economy reset.
The average fuel economy can be
reset both manually and automati-
cally.
Manual reset
To manually reset the average fuel
economy, press the OK button on the
steering wheel for more than 1 sec-
ond, when the average fuel economy
is displayed.
For more information about the
OK button, refer to "LCD Display
Control" in this chapter.

To turn the hybrid system off in
an emergency:
Press and hold the Engine
Start/Stop button for more than
two seconds OR rapidly press
and release the Engine Start/
Stop button three times (within
three seconds).
If the vehicle is still moving, you
can restart the hybrid system
without depressing the brake
pedal by pressing the Engine
Start/Stop button with the shift
lever in the N (Neutral) position.
WARNING
NEVER press the Engine
Start/Stop button while the
vehicle is in motion except in
an emergency. This will result
in the hybrid system turning
off and loss of power assist
for the steering and brake
systems. This may lead to
loss of directional control and
braking function, which could
cause an accident.
Before leaving the driver’s
seat, always make sure the
shift lever is in the P (Park)
position, set the parking brake,
press the Engine Start/Stop
button to the OFF position, and
take the Smart Key with you.
Unexpected vehicle movement
may occur if these precautions
are not followed.
