Safety precautions
Adjusting the seats so that you are sit-
ting in a safe, comfortable position
plays an important role in driver and
passenger safety, together with seat
belts and air bags, in an accident.
Air bags
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. Sitting too close to an air bag
greatly increases the risk of injury in
the event the air bag inflates. Move
your seat as far back as possible
from front air bags, whilst still main-
taining control of the vehicle.
Do not sit on a cushion. A pas-
senger may slide under the lap
portion of the seat belt during an
accident or a sudden stop.
Serious or fatal internal injuries
could result because the seat
belt cannot operate properly.
WA R N I N G
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
air bag, take the following pre-
cautions:
•Adjust the driver’s seat as far
to the rear as possible whilst
maintaining the ability to
maintain full control of the
vehicle.
•Adjust the front passenger
seat as far to the rear as pos-
sible.
•Hold the steering wheel by the
rim with hands at the 9 o’clock
and 3 o’clock positions to
minimise the risk of injuries to
your hands and arms.
•NEVER place anything or any-
one between the air bag.
•Do not allow the front passen-
ger to place their feet or legs
on the instrument panel, to
minimise the risk of leg
injuries.

Seat belts
Always fasten your seat belt before
starting any trip.
At all times, passengers should sit
upright and be properly restrained.
Infants and small children must be
restrained in appropriate child restraint
systems. Children who have outgrown
a booster seat as well as adults, must
be restrained using the seat belts.
Front seats
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.
Ta k e t h e f o l l o w i n g p r e c a u t i o n s
when adjusting your seat belt:
•NEVER use one seat belt for
more than one occupant.
•Always position the seatback
upright with the lap portion of
the seat belt snug and low
across the hips.
•NEVER allow children or
small infants to ride in a pas-
senger’s lap.
•Do not route the seat belt
across your neck, across
sharp edges, or reroute the
shoulder strap away from
your body.
•Do not allow the seat belt to
become caught or jammed.
WA R N I N G
Ta k e t h e f o l l o w i n g p r e c a u t i o n s
when adjusting your seat:
•NEVER attempt to adjust the
seat whilst the vehicle is mov-
ing. The seat could respond
with unexpected movement
and may cause loss of vehicle
control resulting in an acci-
dent.
•Do not place anything under
the front seats. Loose objects
in the driver’s foot area could
interfere with the operation of
the foot pedals, causing an
accident.

To p r e v e n t d a m a g e t o t h e s e a t s :
•Always stop adjusting the
seats when the seat has been
adjusted as far forward or
rearward as possible.
•Do not adjust the seats longer
than necessary when the
engine is turned off. This may
result in unnecessary battery
drain.
•Do not operate two or more
seats at the same time. This
may result in an electrical mal-
function.
CAUTION
NEVER allow children in the
vehicle unattended. The power
seats are operable when the
engine is turned off.

Where are the air bags?
Driver’s and passenger’s air
bags
Yo u r v e h i c l e i s e q u i p p e d w i t h 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 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
front air bag, 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.

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.

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.

•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.
