Safety Precautions
Adjusting the seats so that you are sitting 
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.
 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 accident or a sudden 
stop. Serious or fatal internal injuries 
could result because the seat belt 
cannot operate properly.
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.
The National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration (NHTSA) recommends 
that drivers allow at least 10 inches (25 
cm) between the center of the steering 
wheel and their chest.
 WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or 
death from an inflating air bag, take the 
following precautions:
•	Adjust the driver’s seat as far to the 
rear as possible while maintaining 
the ability to maintain full control of 
the vehicle.
•	 Adjust the front passenger seat as far 
to the rear as possible.
•	 Hold the steering wheel by the rim 
with hands at the 9 o’clock and 3 
o’clock positions to minimize the risk 
of injuries to your hands and arms. •	
NEVER place anything or anyone 
between the steering wheel and the 
air bag.
•	 Do not allow the front passenger 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. Adults and children who 
have outgrown a booster seat must be 
restrained using the seat belts.
 WARNING
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.
•	 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
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 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 
minimize 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 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.
•	 Do not place any objects between 
the door and the seat. They may 
become dangerous projectiles if the 
side air bag inflates.
•	 Do not install any accessories on the 
side or near the side air bags.
•	 Do not put any objects between the 
side airbag label and seat cushion. It 
could cause harm if the vehicle is in a 
crash severe enough to cause the air 
bags to deploy.
•	 Do not cause impact to the doors 
when the ignition switch button is in 
the ON position as this may cause the 
side air bags to inflate.
•	 If the seat or seat cover is damaged, 
have the vehicle checked and 
repaired by an authorized HYUNDAI 
dealer.
Curtain air bags
OCN7030044
OCN7030043
Curtain air bags are located along both 
sides of the roof rails above the front and 
rear doors.
They are designed to help protect the 
heads of the front seat occupants and 
the rear outboard seat occupants in 
certain side impact collisions.
The curtain air bags are designed to 
deploy during certain side impact 
collisions, depending on the crash 
severity.
The side and curtain air bags on both 
sides of the vehicle may deploy if a 
rollover or possible rollover is detected.
The curtain air bags are not designed 
to deploy in all side impact or rollover 
situations.   

3-42
•	There are even circumstances under 
which contact with the air bag can 
cause fatal injuries, especially if the 
occupant is positioned excessively 
close to the air bag.
You can take steps to help reduce the 
risk of being injured by an inflating 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 
recommends that drivers allow at least 
10 inches (25 cm) between the center of 
the steering wheel and the chest.
 WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or 
death from an inflating air bag, take the 
following precautions:
•	 NEVER place a child restraint in the 
front passenger seat.
Always properly restrain children 
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 allowing you to 
maintain full control of the vehicle.
•	 Hold the steering wheel with 
hands at the 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock 
positions.
•	 NEVER place anything or anyone 
between the air bag and the seat 
occupant.
•	 Do not allow the front passenger 
to place their feet or legs on the 
dashboard.
Driver’s front air bag (1)
ODN8039077L
When the SRSCM detects a sufficiently 
severe impact to the front of the vehicle, 
it will automatically deploy the front air 
bags.
Driver’s front air bag (2)
ODN8039078L
Upon deployment, tear seams molded 
directly into the pad covers will separate 
under pressure from the expansion of the 
air bags. Further opening of the covers 
allows full inflation of the air bags.
A fully inflated air bag, in combination 
with a properly worn seat belt, slows the 
driver or the front passenger forward 
motion, reducing the risk of head and 
chest injury.

Emergency Situations
8-6
If your temperature gauge indicates 
overheating, you experience a loss of 
power, or hear loud pinging or knocking, 
the engine may be overheating. If this 
happens, you should:
1.
 Pull off the r
oad and stop as soon as it 
is safe to do so.
2.
 Put the vehicle in P (P
ark), and set the 
parking brake. If the air conditioning is 
ON, turn it OFF.
3.
 If engine coolant is running out under 
the v
ehicle or steam is coming out 
from the hood, stop the engine. Do 
not open the hood until the coolant 
has stopped running or the steaming 
has stopped. If there is no visible 
loss of engine coolant and no steam, 
leave the engine running and check 
to be sure the engine cooling fan is 
operating. If the fan is not running, 
turn the engine off.
 WARNING
While the engine is running, 
keep hands, clothing and tools 
away from the moving parts 
such as the cooling fan and 
drive belt to prevent serious 
injury. 4.
 Check to see if the w
ater pump drive 
belt is missing.
(1)
 If it is not missing, check t
 o see that 
it is tight.
(2)
 If the drive belt seems t
 o be 
satisfactory, check for coolant leaking 
from the radiator, hoses or under 
the vehicle. (If the air conditioning 
had been in use, it is normal for cold 
water to be draining from it when you 
stop.)
5.
 If the wa
 ter pump drive belt is 
broken or engine coolant is leaking 
out, stop the engine immediately 
and we recommend that you call 
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for 
assistance.
 WARNING
NEVER remove the radiator 
cap or the drain plug while 
the engine and radiator are 
hot. Hot coolant and steam 
may blow out under pressure, 
causing serious injury.
Turn the engine off and wait until the 
engine cools down. Use extreme care 
when removing the radiator cap. Wrap 
a thick towel around it, and turn it 
counterclockwise slowly to the first 
stop. Step back while the pressure is 
released from the cooling system. When 
you are sure all the pressure has been 
released, press down on the cap, using 
a thick towel, and continue turning 
counterclockwise to remove it.
