Power adjustment (for driver's seat, if equipped)
The front seat can be adjusted by using
the control switches located on the out-
side 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.
To prevent damage to the seats:
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 unnec-
essary battery drain.
Do not operate two or more seats at the same time. This may result in an
electrical malfunction.
Forward and rearward adjustment
To move the seat forward or rearward:
1. Push the control switch forward or rearward.
2. Release the switch once the seat reaches the desired position.
Seatback angle
To adjust the seatback:
1. Rotate the top of control switch for-ward or rearward.
2. Release the switch once the seatback reaches the desired position.
NOTICE
NEVER allow children in the vehicle
unattended. The power seats are
operable when the engine is turned
off.

Safety system of your vehicle
The Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt System
consists mainly of the following compo-
nents. Their locations are shown in the
illustration above:
1. SRS air bag warning light
2. Retractor pre-tensioner
3. SRS control module
4. Emergency Fastening Device SystemThe sensor that activates the SRS air
bag is connected with the pre–ten-
sioner seat belts. The SRS air bag
warning light on the instrument panel
will illuminate for approximately 6 sec-
onds after the ignition switch is in the
ON position, and then it should turn
off.
If the pre-tensioner is not working
properly, the warning light will illumi-
nate even if the SRS air bag is not mal-
functioning. If the warning light does
not illuminate, stays illuminated or
illuminates when the vehicle is being
driven, have an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer inspect the pre-tensioner seat
belts and SRS air bags as soon as
possible.
NOTICE
Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies for several minutes
after they have been activated.
When the pre-tensioner seat belt
mechanism deploys during a colli-
sion, the pre-tensioners become
hot and can burn you.

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.

12. Emergency Fastening DeviceSystem
13. Occupant classification system
The SRSCM (Supplemental Restraint
System Control Module) continually
monitors all SRS components while the
ignition switch is in the ON position to
determine if a crash impact is severe
enough to require air bag deployment or
pre-tensioner seat belt deployment.
SRS warning light
The SRS (Supplement Restraint System)
air bag warning light on the instrument
panel displays the air bag symbol depict-
ed in the illustration. The system checks
the air bag electrical system for malfunc-
tions. The light indicates that there is a
potential malfunction with your air bag
system, which could include your side
and curtain air bags used for rollover pro-
tection. 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.
The front air bags help protect the driver
and front passenger by responding to
frontal impacts in which seat belts alone
cannot provide adequate restraint. When
needed, the side air bags help provide
protection in the event of a side impact or
rollover.
Air bags are activated (able to inflate if
necessary) only when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
Air bags inflate in the event of certain 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 col-
lision, its direction, etc. These two fac-
tors 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 conditions
occur, your SRS is malfunctioning:
The light does not turn on for
approximately six seconds when
the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
The light stays on after illuminat-
ing for approximately six sec-
onds.
The light comes on while the
vehicle is in motion.
The light blinks when the engine
is running.
Have an authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er inspect the SRS as soon as pos-
sible if any of these conditions
occur.

What to Expect After an Air
Bag Inflates
After a frontal or side air bag inflates, it
will deflate very quickly. Air bag inflation
will not prevent the driver from seeing out
of the windshield or being able to steer.
Curtain air bags may remain partially
inflated for some time after they deploy.
Noise and smoke from inflatingair bag
When the air bags inflate, they make a
loud noise and may produce smoke and
powder in the air inside of the vehicle.
This is normal and is a result of the igni-
tion of the air bag inflator. After the air
bag inflates, you may feel substantial dis-
comfort in breathing because of the con-
tact of your chest with both the seat belt
and the air bag, as well as from breathing
the smoke and powder. The powder may
aggravate asthma for some people. If you
experience breathing problems after an
air bag deployment, seek medical atten-
tion immediately.
Though the smoke and powder are non-
toxic, they may cause irritation to the
skin, eyes, nose, throat, etc. If this is the
case, wash and rinse with cold water
immediately and seek medical attention
if the symptoms persist.
To prevent objects from becoming
dangerous projectiles when the
passenger's air bag inflates:
Do not install or place any
objects (drink holder, CD holder,
stickers, etc.) on the front pas-
senger's panel above the glove
box where the passenger's air
bag is located.
Do not install a container of liquid
air freshener near the instrument
cluster or on the instrument
panel surface.
WARNING
After an air bag inflates, take the
following precautions:
Open your windows and doors as
soon as possible after impact to
reduce prolonged exposure to
the smoke and powder released
by the inflating air bag.
Do not touch the air bag storage
area's internal components
immediately after an air bag has
inflated. The parts that come into
contact with an inflating air bag
may be very hot.
Always wash exposed skin areas
thoroughly with cold and mild
soap.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
Always have an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer replace the air
bag immediately after deploy-
ment. Air bags are designed to be
used only once.

Occupant Classification
System (OCS)
Your vehicle is equipped with an
Occupant Classification System (OCS) in
the front passenger's seat.
Main components of theOccupant Classification System
A detection device located within the
front passenger seat cushion.
Electronic system to determine whether the passenger air bag sys-
tems should be activated or deactivat-
ed.
An indicator light located on the instru- ment panel which illuminates the
words "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicating the front passenger air bag
system is deactivated.
The instrument panel air bag indicator light is interconnected with the OCS.
The OCS is designed to detect the pres-
ence of a properly-seated front passen-
ger and determine if the passenger's
front air bag should be enabled (may
inflate) or not.
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. Front passenger seat adult occupants
who are properly seated and wearing the
seat belt properly, should not cause the
passenger air bag to be automatically
turned OFF. For small adults it may be
turned OFF, however, if the occupant
does not sit in the seat properly (for
example, by not sitting upright, by sitting
on the edge of the seat, or by otherwise
being out of position), this could cause
the sensor to turn the air bag OFF.
You will find the "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicator on the center fascia
panel. This system detects the conditions
1-4 in the following table and activates or
deactivates the front passenger air bag
based on these conditions.
