air bag in each front seat. The pur-
pose of the air bag is to provide the
vehicle’s driver and the front passen-
ger 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.

To r e d u c e t h e r i s k o f s e r i o u s
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.

Safety system of your vehicle
•Air bag deployment depends on a
number of factors including vehicle
speed, angles of impact and the
density and stiffness of the vehi-
cles or objects which your vehicle
impacts during a collision. The
determining factors are not limited
to those mentioned above.
•The front air bags will completely
inflate and deflate in an instant. It is
virtually impossible for you to see
the air bags inflate during an acci-
dent. It is much more likely that you
will simply see the deflated air
bags hanging out of their storage
compartments after the collision.
•To help provide protection, the air
bags must inflate rapidly. The
speed of air bag inflation is a con-
sequence of an 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.
Yo u c a n t a k e s t e p s t o r e d u c e t h e r i s k
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 back as possi-
ble leaving space between the centre
of the steering wheel and the chest
while still maintaining control of the
vehicle.

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 r e d u c e t h e r i s k o f s e r i o u s
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.

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 Electric Power Steering
System does not operate normal-
ly, the warning light ( ) will illu-
minate on the instrument cluster.
The steering wheel may become
difficult to control or operate. Take
your vehicle to an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer and have the sys-
tem 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 are complet-
ed, the steering wheel will return to
its normal condition.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Aclick noise may be heard from the
EPS relay after the ignition switch is
placed in the ON or LOCK/OFF
position (Without Smart key system).
Aclick noise may be heard from the
EPS relay after the Engine Start/Stop
button is placed in the ON or OFF
position (with Smart key system).
• Motor noise may be heard when the
vehicle is at a stop or at a low driv-
ing speed.
•When you operate the steering
wheel in low temperatures, abnor-
mal noise may occur. If the temper-
ature rises, the noise will disappear.
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.

Information
After adjustment, sometimes the lock-
release lever may not lock the steering
wheel.
It is not a malfunction. This occurs
when two gears are not engaged cor-
rectly. In this case, adjust the steering
wheel again and then lock the steering
wheel.
Pull down the lock-release lever (1)
on the steering wheel column and
adjust the steering wheel angle (2)
and position (3, if equipped). Move
the steering wheel, so it points
toward your chest, not toward your
face. Make sure you can see the
instrument panel warning lights and
gauges.
After adjusting, pull up the lock-
release lever (1) to lock the steering
wheel in place. Push the steering
wheel both up and down to be cer-
tain it is locked in position. Always
adjust the position of the steering
wheel before driving.
Heated steering wheel
(if equipped)
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position or when the engine is run-
ning, press the heated steering
wheel button to warm the steering
wheel.
The indicator on the button will illu-
minate.
To t u r n t h e h e a t e d s t e e r i n g w h e e l o f f ,
press the button again. The indicator
on the button will turn off.
i
Never adjust the steering wheel
whilst driving. You may lose
steering control and cause
severe personal injury, death or
accidents.

Information
The heated steering wheel will turn off
automatically approximately 30 min-
utes after the heated steering wheel is
turned on.
When the engine is turned off and the
heated steering wheel is on, the timer
function of the heated steering wheel
will be reset.
To reuse the heated steering wheel,
press the button again.
Do not install any cover or acces-
sory on the steering wheel. This
cover or accessory could cause
damage to the heated steering
wheel system.

indicated by the horn symbol on your
steering wheel (see illustration).
The horn will operate only when this
area is pressed.
Do not strike the horn severely to
operate it, or hit it with your fist.
Do not press on the horn with a
sharp-pointed object.

Outside Temperature Gauge
This gauge indicates the current out-
side air temperatures either in
Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F).
- Temperature range : -40°C ~ 60°C
(-40°F ~ 140°F)
The outside temperature on the dis-
play may not change immediately, to
avoid driver distraction.
The temperature unit (from °C to °F
or from °F to °C) can be changed by:
- Press the TRIP button for more
than 5 seconds on the steering
wheel.
- User Settings mode in the Cluster :
