Safety features of your vehicle
Occupant classification system
Your vehicle is equipped with an occu-
pant classification system in the front
passenger's seat.
The occupant classification system is
designed to detect the presence of a
properly-seated front passenger and
determine if the passenger's front air bag
should be enabled (may inflate) or not.
The driver's front air bag is not affected
or controlled by the occupant classifica-
tion system.
Main components of occupant
classification system
• A detection device located within the
front passenger seat frame.
• Electronic system to determine whether
the front passenger air bag system
should be activated or deactivated.
• A warning light located on the instrument
panel which illuminates the words PAS-
SENGER AIR BAG "OFF" indicating the
front passenger air bag system is deacti-
vated.
• The instrument panel air bag warning
light is interconnected with the occupant
classification system.
The purpose is to help reduce the risk of
injury or death from an inflating air bag to
certain front passenger seat occupants,
such as children, by requiring the air bag
to be automatically turned OFF.
For example, if a child restraint of the
type specified in the regulations is on the
seat, the occupant classification sensor
can detect it and cause the air bag to turn
OFF.
(Continued)
• Before you replace a fuse or dis-
connect a battery terminal, turn
the ignition switch to the LOCK
position and remove the ignition
key for ignition key, and turn the
engine start/stop button to the
OFF position for smart 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.

Transmitter precautions
✽NOTICE
The transmitter will not work if any of
following occur:
• The ignition key is in ignition switch.
• You exceed the operating distance
limit (about 30 m [90 feet]).
• The battery in the transmitter is
weak.

the ignition key. If you have a problem
with the transmitter, contact an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)(Continued)
• If the transmitter is in close proximity
to your cell phone or smart phone, the
signal from the transmitter could be
blocked by normal operation of your
cell phone or smart phone. This is
especially important when the phone
is active such as making call, receiving
calls, text messaging, and/or send-
ing/receiving emails. Avoid placing the
transmitter and your cell phone or
smart phone in the same pants or
jacket pocket and maintain adequate
distance between the two devices.
This device complies with Industry
Canada Standard RSS-210.
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
2. This device must accept any interfer-
ence received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
CAUTION

not be covered by your manufactur-
er’s vehicle warranty.
WARNING
Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment. If the keyless entry

LIGHTING
Battery saver function
• The purpose of this feature is to pre-
vent the battery from being dis-
charged. The system automatically
turns off the parking lights when the
driver removes the ignition key (smart
key : turns off the engine) and opens
the driver-side door.
• With this feature, the parking lights will
be turned off automatically if the driver
parks on the side of road at night.
If necessary, to keep the lights on
when the ignition key is removed
(smart key : turns off the engine), per-
form the following:
1) Open the driver-side door.
2) Turn the parking lights OFF and ON
again using the light switch on the
steering column.
Headlamp delay (if equipped)
If you turn the ignition switch to the ACC
or OFF position with the headlights ON,
the headlights remain on for about 5 min-
utes. However, if the driver’s door is
opened and closed, the headlights are
turned off after 15 seconds.
The headlights can be turned off by
pressing the lock button on the transmit-
ter (or smart key) twice or turning the
light switch to the OFF or Auto position.
However, if you turn the light switch to the
Auto position when it is dark outside, the

button again or door lock button on the
transmitter (or smart key), the headlights
will turn off immediately.
CAUTION
If the driver gets out of the vehicle
through other doors (other than the
driver's door), the battery saver
function does not operate and the
headlamp delay does not turn off
automatically. This will cause the
battery to be discharged. In this
case, make sure to turn off the lamp
before getting out of the vehicle.
