Where Are the Air Bags?
Driver's and passenger's frontair bags
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Advanced 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 center of the steering
wheel, in the driver's side lower crash
pad below the steering wheel column
and the passenger's side front panel pad
above the glove box.
The air bags are labeled with the letters
"AIR BAG" embossed on the pad covers. The purpose of the SRS is to provide the
vehicle's driver and front passengers
with additional protection than that
offered by the seat belt system alone.
The SRS uses sensors to gather infor-
mation about the driver’s and front pas-
senger's seat belt usage and impact
severity.
The seat belt buckle sensors determine if
the driver and front passenger's seat
belts are fastened. These sensors pro-
vide the ability to control the SRS deploy-
ment based on whether or not the seat
belts are fastened, and how severe the
impact is.
The advanced SRS offers the ability to
control the air bag inflation within two lev-
els. A first stage level is provided for mod-
erate-severity impacts. A second stage
level is provided for more severe impacts.
According to the impact severity, and
seat belt usage, the SRS Control Module
(SRSCM) controls the air bag inflation.
Failure to properly wear seat belts can
increase the risk or severity of injury in
an accident.

Side air bags
Your vehicle is equipped with a side air
bag in each front seat. The purpose of
the air bag is to provide the vehicle's driv-
er and the front passenger with addition-
al protection than that offered by the seat
belt alone.
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death from an inflating front air
bags, take the following precau-
tions:
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,
while still maintaining control of
the vehicle.
Never lean against the door or
center console.
Do not allow the front passenger
to place their feet or legs on the
dashboard.
No objects (such as crash pad
cover, cellular phone holder, cup
holder, perfume or stickers)
should be placed over or near the
air bag modules on the steering
wheel, instrument panel, wind-
shield glass, and the front pas-
senger'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.

Safety system of your vehicle
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 and curtain air bags on both
sides of the vehicle may deploy if a
rollover or possible rollover is detected.
The side air bags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact or rollover situa-
tions.Curtain air bags
Curtain air bags are located along both
sides of the roof rails above the front and
rear doors.
They are designed to help protect the
heads of the front seat occupants and
the rear outboard seat occupants in cer-
tain side impact collisions.
(Continued)
Do not use any accessory seat
covers. This could reduce or pre-
vent the effectiveness of the sys-
tem.
Do not place any objects over the
air bag or between the air bag
and yourself. Also, do not attach
any objects around the area the
air bag inflates such as the door,
side door glass, front and rear pil-
lar.
Do not place any objects between
the door and the seat. They may
become dangerous projectiles if
the side air bag inflates.
Do not install any accessories on
the side or near the side air bags.
Do not put any objects between
the side airbag label and seat
cushion. It could cause harm if
the vehicle is in a crash severe
enough to cause the air bags to
deploy.
Do not cause impact to the doors
when the ignition switch is in the
ON position or this may cause
the side air bags to inflate.
If the seat or seat cover is dam-
aged, have the vehicle checked
and repaired by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death from an inflating side air
bag, take the follo
wing 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 win-
dow, or place objects between
the doors and seats.
Hold the steering wheel at the 9
o'clock and 3 o'clock positions, to
minimize the risk of injuries to
your hands and arms.

Air bag deployment depends on anumber of factors including vehicle
speed, angles of impact and the densi-
ty and stiffness of the vehicles or
objects which your vehicle impacts
during a collision. The determining fac-
tors are not limited to those mentioned
above.
The front air bags will completely inflate and deflate in an instant. It is vir-
tually impossible for you to see the air
bags inflate during an accident. It is
much more likely that you will simply
see the deflated air bags hanging out
of their storage compartments after the
collision.
In addition to inflating in certain side collisions, vehicles equipped with a
rollover sensor, side and curtain air
bags will inflate if the sensing system
detects a rollover.
When a rollover is detected, side and
curtain air bags will remain inflated
longer to help provide protection from
ejection, especially when used in con-
junction with the seat belts. To help provide protection, the air bags
must inflate rapidly. The speed of air
bag inflation is a consequence of
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, especially if the
occupant is positioned excessively
close to the air bag.
You can take steps to help reduce the
risk of being injured by an inflating air
bag. The greatest risk is sitting too close
to the air bag. An air bag needs about 10
inches (25 cm) of space to inflate.
NHTSA recommends that drivers allow
at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the
center of the steering wheel and the
chest. To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death from an inflating air bag,
take the following precautions:
NEVER place a child restraint in
the front passenger seat.
Always properly restrain children
under age 13 in the rear seats of
the vehicle.
Adjust the front passenger’s and
driver's seats as far to the rear as
possible while allowing you to
maintain full control of the vehi-
cle.
Hold the steering wheel with
hands at the 9 o'clock and 3
o'clock positions.
Never place anything or anyone
between the air bag and the seat
occupant.
Do not allow the front passenger
to place their feet or legs on the
dashboard.
WARNING

2-58
Safety system of your vehicle
Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle col-
lides with objects such as utility poles or
trees, where the point of impact is con-
centrated and the collision energy is
absorbed by the vehicle 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 illuminate when
the ignition switch is in the ON position,
or continuously remains on, have your
vehicle immediately inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Any work on the SRS system, such as
removing, installing, repairing, or any
work on the steering wheel, the front
passenger's panel, front seats and roof
rails must be performed by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. Improper handling of
the SRS system may result in serious
personal injury.To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death, take the following precau-
tions:
Do not attempt to modify or dis-
connect the SRS components or
wiring, including the addition of
any kind of badges to the pad
covers or modifications to the
body structure.
Do not place objects over or near
the air bag modules on the steer-
ing wheel, instrument panel, or
the front passenger’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 cov-
ers and proper deployment of the
system.
Always have inflated air bags
replaced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

If the Electric Power Steering
System does not operate normally,
the warning light ( ) will illumi-
nate on the instrument cluster. You
may steer the vehicle, but it will
require increased steering efforts.
Take your vehicle to an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the sys-
tem checked as soon as possible.
CAUTION
Easy Access Function
When exiting the vehicle the driver’s seat
will move rearward when the engine is
turned off and the shift lever in P (Park).
When entering the vehicle the driver’s
seat will move forward when the ignition
switch is placed to the ACC position.
You can activate or deactivate the Easy
Access Function from the User Settings
Mode on the LCD display.
For more information, refer to the
"LCD Display" section in this chapter.
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 inoper-
ative, 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 dur-
ing normal vehicle operation:
• The steering effort may be high immedi-
ately after placing the ignition switch in
the ON position.
This happens as the system performs the
EPS system diagnostics. When the diag-
nostics is completed, the steering wheel
will return to its normal condition.
• A click noise may be heard from the EPS relay after the ignition switch is in
the ON or OFF position.
• Motor noise may be heard when the vehicle is at a stop or at a low driving
speed.
• When you operate the steering wheel in low temperature, abnormal noise may
occur. If temperature rises, the noise will
disappear. This is a normal condition.
• When an error is detected from the EPS, the warning light will illuminate on the
instrument cluster and the steering
efforts may be increased. When the fol-
lowing symptoms occur, immediately
drive the vehicle to a safe area and
check it.

Tilt Steering/Telescope Steering
Adjust the steering wheel so it points
toward your chest, not toward your face.
Make sure you can see the instrument
cluster warning lights and gauges. After
adjusting, push the steering wheel both
up and down to be certain it is locked in
position. Always adjust the position of the
steering wheel before driving.To change the steering wheel angle and
height:
1. Pull down the lock-release lever (1).
2. Adjust the steering wheel to thedesired angle (2) and height (3).
3. Pull up the lock-release lever to lock the steering wheel in place.
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 correctly.
In this case, adjust the steering wheel
again and then lock the steering wheel.
Horn
To sound the horn, press the area indi-
cated by the horn symbol on your steer-
ing 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.
