Height adjustment
You can adjust the height of the
shoulder belt anchor to one of four
different positions for maximum com-
fort 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.To adjust the height of the seat belt
anchor, lower or raise the height
adjuster into an appropriate position.
To raise the height adjuster, pull it up
(1). To lower it, push it down (3) whilst
pressing the height adjuster button
(2).
Release the button to lock the
anchor into position. Try sliding the
height adjuster to make sure that it
has locked into position.
To release your seat belt:
Press the release button (1) in the
locking buckle.
When it is released, the belt should
automatically draw back into the
retractor. If this does not happen,
check the belt to be sure it is not
twisted, then try again.

■Front seat
OJS038070AU
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.
Position one arm under the
shoulder belt and the other
over the belt, as shown in the
illustration.
Always position the shoulder
belt anchor into locked posi-
tion at the appropriate height.
Never position the shoulder
belt across your neck or face.

Safety system of your vehicle
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 pro-
tection. These include rear impacts,
second or third collisions in multiple
impact accidents, as well as low
speed impacts. Damage to the vehi-
cle indicates a collision energy
absorption, and is not an indicator of
whether or not an air bag should
have inflated.
Air bag collision sensors
(if equipped)
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.
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
adversely affect the collision
and air bag deployment per-
formance.
WARNING
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 an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.

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, we recommend that the system
be immediately inspected by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
We recommend any work on the
SRS system, such as removing,
installing, repairing, or any work on
the steering wheel, the front passen-
ger's panel, front seats and roof rails
be performed by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer. Improper handling
of the SRS system may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
OTLE038063
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, and 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.
We recommend that inflated
air bags be replaced by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.

Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system
The Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system may not operate
normally when:
Moisture is frozen to the sensor.
Sensor is covered with foreign mat-
ter, such as snow or water, or the
sensor cover is blocked.
There is a possibility of the Parking
Distance Warning (Reverse) system
malfunction when:
Driving on uneven road surfaces
such as unpaved roads, gravel,
bumps, or gradient.
Objects generating excessive
noise such as vehicle horns, loud
motorcycle engines, or truck air
brakes can interfere with the sen-
sor.
Heavy rain or water spray is pres-
ent.
Wireless transmitters or mobile
phones are present near the sen-
sor.
The sensor is covered with snow.
Any non-factory equipment or
accessories have been installed,
or if the vehicle bumper height or
sensor installation has been modi-
fied.
Detecting range may decrease when:
The outside air temperature is
extremely hot or cold.
Undetectable objects smaller than
1 m and narrower than 14 cm in
diameter.
The following objects may not be
recognised by the sensor:
Sharp or slim objects such as
ropes, chains or small poles.
Objects, which tend to absorb sen-
sor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.
