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.

Safety system of your vehicle
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.

Seat cushion height 
(for front seats, if equipped) 
To   c h a n g e   t h e   h e i g h t   o f   t h e   s e a t
cushion:
•Push down the lever several times,
to lower the seat cushion.
•Pull up 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.

OAD035004/H
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.

■Driver’s front air bag

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.

SRS warning light
The SRS air bag warning light on the
instrument  panel  will  illuminate  for
about  6  seconds  after  the  ignition
switch  is  tur ned  to  the  ON  position,
after  which  the  air  bag  warning  light
should go out.
During  a  frontal  collision,  sensors  will
detect  the  vehicle’s  deceleration. If
the  rate  of  deceleration  is  high
enough,  the  control  unit  will  inflate
the  front  air  bags,  at  the  time  and
with the force needed.
The  front  air  bags  help  protect  the
driver  and  front  passenger  by
responding  to  frontal  impacts  in
which  seat  belts  alone  cannot  pro-
vide adequate restraint. When need-
ed,  the  side  air  bags  help  provide
protection  in  the  event  of  a  side
impact.
•Air bags are activated (able to
inflate  if  necessary)  only  when  the
ignition  switch  is  in  the  ON  posi-
tion.
•Air bags inflate in the event of cer-
tain frontal or side collisions to help
protect the occupants from serious
physical injury.
•Generally, air bags are designed to
inflate based upon the severity of a
collision  it’s  direction  etc. These
two  factors  determine  whether  the
sensors  produce  an  electronic
deployment/inflation signal.
If  your  SRS  malfunctions, the
air  bag  may  not  inflate  properly
during  an  accident  increasing
the  risk  of  serious  injury  or
death.
If  any  of  the  following  condi-
tions  occur, your  SRS  is  mal-
functioning:
•The  light  does  not  turn  on  for
approximately  six  seconds
when  the  ignition  switch  is  in
the ON position.
•The light stays on after illumi-
nating  for  approximately  six
seconds.
•The  light  comes  on  whilst  the
vehicle is in motion.
•The  light  blinks  when  the
engine is running.
We  recommend  that  an  autho-
rised  HYUNDAI  dealer  inspect
the  SRS  as  soon  as  possible  if
any of these conditions occur.
