Safety system of your vehicle

You can take steps to help reduce
the risk of being injured by an inflat-
ing 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 recom-
mends that drivers allow at least 10
inches (25 cm) between the center of
the steering wheel and the chest.When the SRSCM detects a suffi-
ciently severe impact to the front of
the vehicle, it will automatically
deploy the front air bags.
OTLA035107
■Driver's front air bag (1)
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from an inflating
air bag, take the following pre-
cautions:
NEVER place a child restraint
in the front passenger seat.
Always properly restrain chil-
dren 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 allow-
ing you to maintain full con-
trol of the vehicle.
Hold the steering wheel with
hands at the 9 o'clock and 3
o'clock positions.
Never place anything or any-
one between the air bag and
the seat occupant.
Do not allow the front passen-
ger to place their feet or legs
on the dashboard.
WARNING

2-70
Safety system of your vehicle
Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated and the colli-
sion energy is absorbed by the vehi-
cle 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 illumi-
nate 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 follow-
ing precautions:
Do not attempt to modify or
disconnect the SRS compo-
nents or wiring, including the
addition of any kind of badges
to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure.
Do not place objects over or
near the air bag modules on
the steering wheel, instrument
panel, or the front passen-
ger’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 covers and
proper deployment of the sys-
tem.
Always have inflated air bags
replaced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

Electric Power Steering (EPS)
The system assists you with steering
the vehicle. If the vehicle is turned off
or if the power steering system
becomes inoperative, 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.
If the Electric Power Steering
System does not operate nor-
mally, the warning light ( ) will
illuminate on the instrument
cluster. You may steer the vehi-
cle, but it will require increased
steering efforts. Take your vehi-
cle to an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer and have the system
checked as soon as possible. When abnormality is detected in
the electric power steering sys-
tem, the steering assist function
will stop. At this time, the warn-
ing light turns on or blinks on
the cluster. The steering wheel
may become difficult to control
or operate. Have your vehicle
checked immediately, after mov-
ing the vehicle to a safe zone.
Information
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
• The steering effort may be high immediately after placing the igni-
tion switch in the ON position.
This happens as the system per-
forms the EPS system diagnostics.
When the diagnostics are complet-
ed, the steering wheel effort 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 LOCK/OFF position.
• Motor noise may be heard when the vehicle is at a stop or at a low driv-
ing speed. • When you operate the steering
wheel in low temperatures, abnor-
mal noise may occur. If the temper-
ature rises, the noise will disappear.
This is a normal condition.
• When an error is detected from the EPS, the steering effort assist func-
tion will not be activated.
Instrument cluster warning lights
may be on or the steering effort
may be high. If these symptoms
occur, drive the vehicle to a safe
area as soon as it is safe to do so.
Have the system checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as
soon as possible.

heated steering wheel switch is
pushed, the heated steering
wheel will have to be controlled
manually.
To use this function, it must be activated from the Settings menu

ent temperature and the set cli-
mate control temperature.

rately supplied Multimedia manual
with your vehicle. Do not install any cover or acces-
sory on the steering wheel. The
