Do not drop water or liquid on
to HPCU, HSG, motor and
fuses. The hybrid system com-
ponents are covered. If you
drop water or liquid on to
hybrid system compone nts, it
may result in electric shock.
This hybrid vehicle uses the
hybrid battery system inverter
and converter to generate high
voltage. High voltage in the
hybrid battery system is very
dangerous and may cause
severe burns and electric
shock. This may result in seri-
ous injury or death.
For your safety, never touch,
replace, disassemble or remove
the hybrid battery system
including components, cables
and connectors. Severe burns
or electric shock may result in
serious injury or death when
you fail to follow this warning.
When the hybrid battery sys-
tem operates, the hybrid bat-
tery system can be hot. Always
be careful because burns or
electric shock may be caused
by high voltage.

WARNING

F2
Modification to the original vehicle specification may invalidate the manufacturers warranty and may adverse-
ly affect the safety and durability of the vehicle.
Components which are subject to modification or are added to the original vehicle specification without the
express approval of the manufacturer and result in consequential loss or damage are not covered by the vehi-
cle manufacturers warranty.
Particular attention is drawn to the fitment of replacement road wheels having a different specification to those
installed in production. The electric power assisted steering system is specifically programmed to operate only
with the road wheels fitted during production. The installation of alternative specification road wheels may result
in the replacement road wheels fouling the vehicle body resulting in tyre damage and compromised safety. The
installation of after market wheels on vehicles equipped with TPMS may result in wheel balancing difficulties
or malfunction of the TPMS system.
We recommend that you contact a HYUNDAI authorised repairer before non original specification road wheels
are installed.
This vehicle is fitted with electronically controlled fuel injection or other \
micro processor controlled equipment.
It is possible for incorrectly installed two way radio equipment including mobile telephones to adversely affect
these systems.
Before radio equipment of this kind is installed, we recommend that you contact your HYUNDAI authorised
repairer for recommendation regarding the suitability of the particular radio equipment concerned and the rec-
ommended method of installation and equipment location. Incorrectly installed or unsuitable equipment which
gives rise to incorrect functioning of or damage to electronic vehicle components will not fall within the scope
of the vehicle manufacturers warranty.

You will find many safety precautions
and recommendations throughout
this section, and throughout this man-
ual. The safety precautions in this sec-
tion are among the most important.
Always wear your seat belt
A seat belt is your best protection in
all types of accidents. Air bags are
designed to supplement seat belts,
not replace them. So even though
your vehicle is equipped with air bags,
ALWAYS make sure you and your
passengers wear your seat belts, and
wear them properly.
Restrain all children
All children under age 13 should ride
in your vehicle properly restrained in
a rear seat, not the front seat. Infants
and small children should be
restrained in an appropriate Child
Restraint System. Larger children
should use a booster seat with the
lap/shoulder belt until they can use
the seat belt properly without a
booster seat.
Air bag hazards
Whilst air bags can save lives, they
can also cause serious or fatal
injuries to occupants who sit too
close to them, or who are not prop-
erly restrained. Infants, young chil-
dren, and short adults are at the
greatest risk of being injured by an
inflating air bag. Follow all instruc-
tions and warnings in this manual.
Driver distraction
Driver distraction presents a serious
and potentially deadly danger, espe-
cially for inexperienced drivers. Safety
should be the first concern when
behind the wheel and drivers need to
be aware of the wide array of potential
distractions, such as drowsiness,
reaching for objects, eating, personal
grooming, other passengers, and
using mobile phones.
Drivers can become distracted when
they take their eyes and attention off
the road or their hands off the wheel
to focus on activities other than driv-
ing. To reduce your risk of distraction
and an accident:
• ALWAYS set up your mobile devices(i.e., MP3 players, phones, naviga-
tion units, etc.) when your vehicle is
parked or safely stopped.
ONLY use your mobile device when allowed by laws and conditions per-
mit safe use. NEVER text or email
whilst driving. Most countries have
laws prohibiting drivers from texting.
Some countries and cities also pro-
hibit drivers from using handheld
phones.

The Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt System
consists mainly of the following com-
ponents. Their locations are shown in
the illustration above:
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.
NEVER inspect, service, repair
or replace the pre-tensioners
yourself. This must be done by
a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Do not hit the seat belt assem-
blies.
WARNING
Do not touch the pre-tensioner
seat belt assemblies for several
minutes after they have been
activated. When the pre-ten-
sioner seat belt mechanism
deploys during a collision, the
pre-tensioner can become hot
and can burn you.
WARNING
Body work on the front area of
the vehicle may damage the
pre-tensioner seat belt system.
Therefore, we recommend the
system to be serviced by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

The more the seat back is reclined,
the greater the chance for the pas-
senger's hips to slide under the lap
belt or the passenger's neck to strike
the shoulder belt.Care of seat belts
Seat belt systems should never be
disassembled or modified. In addi-
tion, care should be taken to assure
that seat belts and belt hardware are
not damaged by seat hinges, doors
or other abuse.
Periodic inspection
All seat belts should be inspected
periodically for wear or damage of
any kind. Any damaged parts should
be replaced as soon as possible.
Keep belts clean and dry
Seat belts should be kept clean and
dry. If belts become dirty, they can be
cleaned by using a mild soap solution
and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong
detergents or abrasives should not be
used because they may damage and
weaken the fabric.
When to replace seat belts
The entire seat belt assembly or
assemblies should be replaced if the
vehicle has been involved in an acci-
dent. This should be done even if no
damage is visible. We recommend that
you consult a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
NEVER ride with a reclined
seatback 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.
Driver and passengers should
always sit well back in their
seats, properly belted, and with
the seatbacks upright.
WARNING

2-50
Safety system of your vehicle
The vehicles are equipped with a
Supplemental Air Bag System for the
driver’s seat and front passenger’s
seats.
The front air bags are designed to
supplement the three-point seat
belts. For these air bags to provide
protection, the seat belts must be
worn at all times when driving.
You can be severely injured or killed
in an accident if you are not wearing
a seat belt. Air bags are designed to
supplement seat belts, but do not
replace them. Also, air bags are not
designed to deploy in every collision.
In some accidents, the seat belts are
the only restraint protecting you. AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ALWAYS use seat belts Child Restraint Systems - every trip, every
time, everyone! Even with air bags, you can be seriously injured or
killed in a collision if you are improperly belted or not wearing your
seat belt when the air bag inflates.
NEVER place a child in any Child Restraint System or booster seat in
the front passenger seat, unless the air bag is deactivated.
An inflating air bag could forcefully strike the infant or child causing
serious or fatal injuries.
ABC - Always Buckle Children under age 13 in the back seat. It is the
safest place for children of any age to ride. If a child age 13 or older
must be seated in the front seat, he or she must be properly belted
and the seat should be moved as far back as possible.
All occupants should sit upright with the seatback in an upright posi-
tion, centred on the seat cushion with their seat belt on, legs com-
fortably extended and their feet on the floor until the vehicle is parked
and the engine is turned off. If an occupant is out of position during
an accident, the rapidly deploying air bag may forcefully contact the
occupant causing serious or fatal injuries.
You and your passengers should never sit or lean unnecessarily
close to the air bags or lean against the door or centre console.
Move your seat as far back as possible from front air bags, whilst still
maintaining control of the vehicle.
