Front air ventilation seat(if equipped)
The air ventilation seats are provided
to cool the front seats by blowing air
through small vent holes on the sur-
face of the seat cushions and seat-
backs.
When the operation of the air ventila-
tion seat is not needed, keep the
switches in the OFF position.
Whilst the engine is running, push
the switch to cool the driver's seat or
the front passenger's seat (if
equipped). • Each time you push the switch, the
airflow changes as follows:
• When pressing the switch for more than 1.5 seconds with the air venti-
lation seat operating, the operation
will turn OFF.
• The air v entilation seats def aults to
the OFF position whenever the
ignition switch is placed to the ON
position.
To prevent damage to the air ven-
tilation seat:
• Use the air ventilation seat ONLY when the climate control system
is on. Using the air ventilation
seat for prolonged periods of
time with the climate control sys-
tem off could cause the air venti-
lation seat to malfunction. • Never use a solvent such as paint
thinner, benzene, alcohol or
petrol to clean the seats.
• Avoid spilling liquids on the sur- face of the front seats and seat-
backs; this may cause the air vent
holes to become blocked and not
work properly.
• Do not place materials such as plastic bags or newspapers under
the seats. They may block the air
intake causing the air vents to not
work properly.
• Do not change the seat covers. It may damage the air ventilation
seat.
• If the air vents do not operate, restart the vehicle. If there is no
change, we recommend that you
have your vehicle inspected by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.NOTICE

Rear passenger’s seat belt warning
As a reminder to the rear passen-
gers, the rear passenger’s seat belt
warning lights will illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds each time
you turn the ignition switch ON
regardless of belt fastening.
And then, the rear corresponding
seat belt warning light will illuminate
for approximately 35 seconds, if any
of the following occurs:
- You drive over 3 mph (9km/h) whenthe rear seat belt is not fastened.
- The rear seat belt is disconnected when driving under 12mph
(20km/h). If the rear seat belt is fastened, the
warning light will turn off immediately.
If the rear seat belt is disconnected
when you drive over the 12mph
(20km/h), the corresponding seat
belt warning light will blink and warn-
ing chime will sound for 35 seconds.
But, if the rear passenger's lap/shoul-
der belt is/are connected and discon-
nected twice within 9 seconds after
the belt is fastened, the corresponding

Seat belt restraint system
Lap/shoulder belt
To fasten your seat belt:
Pull it out of the retractor and insert
the metal tab (1) into the buckle (2).
There will be an audible "click" when
the tab locks into the buckle.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to
the proper length after the lap belt
portion is adjusted manually so that it
fits snugly around your hips. If you
lean forward in a slow, easy motion,
the belt will extend and move with
you. If there is a sudden stop or
impact, the belt will lock into position.
It will also lock if you try to lean for-
ward too quickly.

If you are not able to smoothly pull
enough of the seat belt out from
the retractor, firmly pull the seat
belt out and release it. After
release, you will be able to pull the
belt out smoothly.
Height adjustment
You can adjust the height of the
shoulder belt anchor to one of the
four different positions for maximum
comfort and safety.
The shoulder portion should be
adjusted so it lies across your chest
and midway over your shoulder near-
est the door, not over your neck.
NOTICE
OAE036074R
Improperly positioned seat belts
may increase the risk of serious
injury in an accident. Take the fol-
lowing precautions when adjust-
ing the seat belt:
•Position the lap portion of the
seat belt as low as possible
across your hips, not on your
waist, so that it fits snugly. This
allows your strong pelvic bones
to absorb the force of the crash,
reducing the chance of internal
injuries.
WARNING
•Position one arm under the
shoulder belt and the other over
the belt, as shown in the illus-
tration.
•Always position the shoulder
belt anchor into the locked
position at the appropriate
height.
•Never position the shoulder
belt across your neck or face.

Information
If you are not able to pull out the safe-
ty belt from the retractor, firmly pull
the belt out and release it. After
release, you will be able to pull the belt
out smoothly.
Pre-tensioner seat belt
Your vehicle is equipped with driver's
and front passenger's and rear pas-
sengers (if equipped) Pre-tensioner
Seat Belts (Retractor Pretensioner).
The purpose of the pre-tensioner is to
make sure the seat belts fit tightly
against the occupant's body in cer-
tain frontal or side collision(s). The
pre-tensioner seat belts may be acti-
vated in crashes where the frontal or
side collision(s) is severe enough,
together with the air bags.
When the vehicle stops suddenly, or
if the occupant tries to lean forward
too quickly, the seat belt retractor will
lock into position.In certain frontal collisions, the pre-
tensioner will activate and pull the
seat belt into tighter contact against
the occupant's body.
If the system senses excessive tension
on the driver or passenger's seat belt
when the pre-tensioner system acti-
vates, the load limiter inside the retrac-
tor pre-tensioner will release some of
the pressure on the affected seat belt.
i
OLMB033039/H•Always wear your seat belt and
sit properly in your seat.
•Do not use the seat belt if it is
loose or twisted. A loose or
twisted seat belt will not pro-
tect you properly in an acci-
dent.
•Do not place anything near the
buckle. This may adversely
affect the buckle and cause it
to function improperly.
•Always replace your pre-ten-
sioners after activation or an
accident.

Side air bags (if equipped) 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
driver and the front passenger with
additional protection than that offered
by the seat belt alone.
The side air bags are designed to
deploy during certain side impact col-
lisions, depending on the crash
severity, angle, speed and point of
impact.
The side air bags on both sides of the
vehicle are designed to deploy when a
rollover is detected by a rollover sen-
sor. (if equipped with rollover sensor)
The side air bags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact or rollover
situations.•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.
•Do not use any accessory
seat covers. This could reduce
or prevent the effectiveness
of the system.
•Do not hang other objects
except clothes. In an accident
it may cause vehicle damage
or personal injury especially
when air bag is inflated.
•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 pillar.
To reduce the risk of serious
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 install a Child RestraintSystem on the front passengerseat
Never install a Child Restraint System
in the front passenger seat, unless the
air bag is deactivated
Why didn't my air bag go off in
a collision?
There are certain types of accidents
in which the air bag would not be
expected to provide additional protec-
tion. These include rear impacts, sec-
ond or third collisions in multiple
impact accidents, as well as low
speed impacts. Damage to the vehicle
indicates a collision energy absorp-
tion, and is not an indicator of whether
or not an air bag should have inflated.

OYDESA2042
NEVER use a rearward facing
Child Restraint on a seat pro-
tected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in
front of it, DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY to the CHILD can occur.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of an air bag
deploying unexpectedly and
causing serious injury or death:
•Do not hit or allow any objects to
impact the locations where air
bags or sensors are installed.
WARNING
•Do not perform maintenance
on or around the air bag sen-
sors. If the location or angle of
the sensors is altered, the air
bags may deploy when they
should not or may not deploy
when they should.
•Do not install bumper guards or
replace the bumper with a non-
genuine part. This may adverse-
ly affect the collision and air
bag deployment performance.
•Place the ignition switch to
the LOCK/OFF or ACC posi-
tion, when the vehicle is being
towed to prevent inadvertent
air bag deployment.
•We recommend that all air bag
repairs are conducted by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
