Driver’s front air bag (3)
ODN8039079L
Passenger’s front air bag
ODN8039080L
After complete inflation, the air bag 
immediately starts deflating, enabling 
the driver to maintain forward visibility 
and the ability to steer or operate other 
controls.
 WARNING
To prevent objects from becoming 
dangerous projectiles when the 
passenger’s air bag inflates:
•	Do not install or place any objects 
(drink holder, CD holder, stickers, 
etc.) on the front passenger’s panel 
above the glove box where the 
passenger’s air bag is located.
•	 Do not install a container of liquid 
air freshener near the instrument 
cluster or on the instrument panel 
surface.
What to Expect After an Air Bag 
Inflates
After a frontal or side air bag inflates, it 
will deflate very quickly. Air bag inflation 
will not prevent the driver from seeing 
out of the windshield or being able 
to steer. Curtain air bags may remain 
partially inflated for some time after they 
deploy.
 WARNING
After an air bag inflates, take the 
following precautions:
•	Open your windows and doors as 
soon as possible after impact to 
reduce prolonged exposure to the 
smoke and powder released by the 
inflating air bag.
•	 Do not touch the air bag storage 
area’s internal components 
immediately after an air bag has 
inflated. The parts that come into 
contact with an inflating air bag may 
be very hot.
•	 Always wash exposed skin areas 
thoroughly with cold water and mild 
soap.
•	 Always have an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer replace the air bag 
immediately after deployment. Air 
bags are designed to be used only 
once.

Convenient Features5-38
steering Wheel
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.
Also, the steering effort becomes heavier 
as the vehicle’s speed increases and 
becomes lighter as the vehicle’s speed 
decreases for better control of the 
steering wheel.
Should you notice any change in the 
effort required to steer during normal 
vehicle operation, have the system 
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI 
dealer.
 CAUTION
•	 If the Electric Power Steering System 
does not operate normally, the 
warning light (
) will illuminate 
on the instrument cluster. You may 
steer the vehicle, but it will require 
increased steering efforts. Take your 
vehicle to an authorized HYUNDAI 
dealer and have the system checked 
as soon as possible.
•	 When an abnormality is detected 
in the electric power steering 
system, to prevent a an accident, the 
steering assist function may become 
inoperative. At this time, the warning 
light turns on or blinks on the cluster. 
The steering wheel may become 
difficult to control or operate. Have 
your vehicle checked immediately, 
after moving the vehicle to a safe 
area.
 Information
The following symptoms may occur during 
normal vehicle operation:
•	The steering effort may be high 
immediately after placing the ignition 
switch in the ON position.
This happens as the system performs 
the EPS system diagnostics. When the 
diagnostics are completed, the steering 
wheel effort will return to its normal 
condition.
•	 When the battery voltage is low, you 
may have to put more steering effort. 
However, it is a temporary condition so 
that it will return to normal condition 
after charging the battery.
•	 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 driving 
speed.
•	 When you operate the steering wheel 
in low temperatures, abnormal noise 
may occur. If the temperature rises, the 
noise will disappear. This is a normal 
condition.
•	 When an error is detected from the 
EPS, the steering effort assist function 
may become inoperative in order to 
prevent fatal accidents. 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.

•	Do not get back into a vehicle 
once you have begun refueling. 
You can generate a build-up of 
static electricity by touching, 
rubbing or sliding against any item 
or fabric capable of producing 
static electricity. Static electricity 
discharge can ignite fuel vapors 
causing a fire. If you must re-enter 
the vehicle, you should once again 
eliminate potentially dangerous 
static electricity discharge by 
touching a metal part of the vehicle, 
away from the fuel filler neck, nozzle 
or other gasoline source, with your 
bare hand.
•	 When refueling, always move the 
shift lever to the P (Park) position, 
set the parking brake, and place the 
ignition switch to the LOCK/OFF 
position.
•	 Sparks produced by electrical 
components related to the engine 
can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
•	 When using an approved portable 
fuel container, be sure to place the 
container on the ground prior to 
refueling. Static electricity discharge 
from the container can ignite fuel 
vapors causing a fire. Once refueling 
has begun, contact between your 
bare hand and the vehicle should 
be maintained until the filling is 
complete.
•	 Use only approved portable plastic 
fuel containers designed to carry and 
store gasoline.
•	 Do not use matches or a lighter and 
do not smoke or leave a lit cigarette 
in your vehicle while at a gas station, 
especially during refueling.•	Do not over-fill or top-off your 
vehicle tank, which can cause 
gasoline spillage.
•	 If a fire breaks out during refueling, 
leave the vicinity of the vehicle, and 
immediately contact the manager 
of the gas station and then contact 
the local fire department. Follow any 
safety instructions they provide.
•	 If pressurized fuel sprays out, it can 
cover your clothes or skin and thus 
subject you to the risk of fire and 
burns. Always remove the fuel cap 
carefully and slowly. If the cap is 
venting fuel or if you hear a hissing 
sound, wait until the condition stops 
before completely removing the cap.
•	 Always check that the fuel cap is 
installed securely to prevent fuel 
spillage in the event of an accident.
 Information
Make sure to refuel your vehicle according 
to the “Fuel Requirements” suggested in 
the Introduction chapter.
NOTICE
•	Do not spill fuel on the exterior 
surfaces of the vehicle. Any type of 
fuel spilled on painted surfaces may 
damage the paint.
•	 If the fuel filler cap requires 
replacement, use only a genuine 
HYUNDAI cap or the equivalent 
specified for your vehicle. An 
incorrect fuel filler cap can result 
in a serious malfunction of the fuel 
system or emission control system.

 WARNING
Carbon monoxide (CO) gas is toxic. Breathing CO can cause unconsciousness and 
death.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide which cannot be seen or smelled.
Do not inhale engine exhaust.
If at any time you smell engine exhaust inside the vehicle, open the windows 
immediately. Exposure to CO can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation.
Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.
The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the 
oil or for any other purpose. If you hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you 
drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the vehicle, have the exhaust 
system checked as soon as possible by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.
Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous 
practice. Run the engine only long enough to start the engine and to move the vehicle 
out of the garage.
Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the vehicle.
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the 
vehicle, be sure to do so only in an open area with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan 
control set to high so fresh air is drawn into the interior.
Keep the air intakes clear.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, keep the ventilation air intakes 
located in front of the windshield clear of snow, ice, leaves, or other obstructions.
If you must drive with the trunk open:
Close all windows.
Open instrument panel air vents.
Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face", and the fan 
control set to high.
