Hybrid Battery Cooling Duct
The hybrid battery cooling duct is
located on the left side of the rear
seats. The cooling duct cools down
the hybrid battery. When the hybrid
battery cooling duct is blocked, the
hybrid battery may be overheated.Do not obstruct the cooling duct with
any other objects.
Information
Clean the cooling duct for the hybrid bat-
tery with a dry cloth on a regular basis.

(Continued)
•Do not put any objects into
the cooling duct of the hybrid
battery. Doing so may cause
loss of cooling duct volume to
the hybrid battery. When the
cooling duct is blocked with
any objects, immediately con-
tact your HYUNDAI dealer.
•Never place a container of liq-
uid on or near the cooling
duct. If the liquid spills, the
hybrid battery located in the
luggage compartment may be
damaged.
•Secure all loads in the lug-
gage compartment to prevent
them from being tossed about
before driving. When a sharp
or heavy load strike with a
strong impact or pierce the
interior luggage compartment
wall, the hybrid battery sys-
tem may be damaged, deterio-
rating its performance.
•Never clean the cooling duct
of the hybrid battery with a
wet cloth. If any water enters
in the cooling duct of the
hybrid battery, the hybrid bat-
tery may cause an electric
shock, resulting in a serious
damage, an injury or a death.
•The hybrid battery is com-
posed of lithium-ion polymer.
If the hybrid battery is improp-
erly handled, it is dangerous
to the environment. Also it
may cause electrical shock
and severe burns, resulting in
a serious injury or a death.
•Do not spill liquid over the
cooling duct of the hybrid bat-
tery. Doing so is very danger-
ous. It may cause electric
shock or serious injury.
•Do not cover the cooling duct
with objects.

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 the
seat belts and air bags in an accident.
Air bags
You can take steps to reduce the risk
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, while still main-
taining control of the vehicle.
To reduce the risk of serious
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 main-
taining the ability to control
the vehicle.
•Adjust the front passenger seat
as far to the rear as possible.
(Continued)
WARNING Do not use a cushion that reduces
friction between the seat and the
passenger. The passenger's hips
may slide under the lap portion
of the seat belt during an acci-
dent or a sudden stop.
Serious or fatal internal injuries
could result because the seat
belt cannot operate properly.
WARNING
(Continued)
•Hold the steering wheel by the
rim with hands at the 9 o’clock
and 3 o’clock positions to min-
imize the risk of injuries to
your hands and arms.
•NEVER place anything or any-
one between you and the air
bag.
•Do not allow the front passen-
ger to place feet or legs on the
dashboard to minimize 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 and adults must be
restrained using the seat belts.
Front seats
The front seat can be adjusted by
using the control lever or 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 instru-
ment panel.
Take the following precautions
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 on a passenger’s
lap.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•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.
WARNING Take the following precautions
when adjusting your seat:
•NEVER attempt to adjust the
seat while 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.

Manual adjustment
Forward and rearward adjustment
To move the seat forward or rearward:
1. Pull up the seat slide adjustment
lever and hold it.
2. Slide the seat to the position you
desire.
3. Release the lever and make sure
the seat is locked in place. Move
forward and rearward without using
the lever. If the seat moves, it is not
locked properly. To prevent injury:
•Do not adjust your seat while
wearing your seat belt.
Moving the seat cushion for-
ward may cause strong pres-
sure on your abdomen.
•Do not allow your hands or
fingers to get caught in the
seat mechanisms while the
seat is moving.
CAUTION(Continued)
•Do not allow anything to inter-
fere with the normal position
and proper locking of the seat-
back.
•Do not place a cigarette lighter
on the floor or seat. When you
operate the seat, gas may exit
out of the lighter causing a fire.
•Use extreme caution when
picking up small objects
trapped under the seats or
between the seat and the cen-
ter console. Your hands might
be cut or injured by the sharp
edges of the seat mechanism.
•If there are occupants in the
rear seats, be careful while
adjusting the front seat posi-
tion.

Seatback angle
To recline the seatback:
1. Lean forward slightly and lift up the
seatback lever.
2. Carefully lean back on the seat
and adjust the seatback to the
position you desire.
3. Release the lever and make sure
the seatback is locked in place.
(The lever MUST return to its orig-
inal position for the seatback to
lock.)Reclining seatback
Sitting in a reclined position when
the vehicle is in motion can be dan-
gerous. Even when buckled up, the
protections of your restraint system
(seat belts and/or air bags) is greatly
reduced by reclining your seatback.Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly.
When the seatback is reclined, the
shoulder belt cannot do its job
because it will not be snug against
your chest. Instead, it will be in front
of you. During an accident, you could
be thrown into the seat belt, causing
neck or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,
the greater chance the passenger’s
hips will slide under the lap belt or
the passenger’s neck will strike the
shoulder belt.
OAE036003NEVER ride with a reclined seat-
back when the vehicle is moving.
Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of seri-
ous or fatal injuries in the event
of a collision or sudden stop.
Drivers and passengers should
ALWAYS sit well back in their
seats, properly belted, and with
the seatbacks upright.
