       WARNING – California Proposition 65
“Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger 
vehicle or off- road vehicle can expose you to chemicals 
including engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates, 
and lead, which are known to the State of California to 
cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive 
harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, 
do not idle the engine except as necessary, service 
your vehicle in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves 
or wash your hands frequently when servicing your

Recommended SAE viscosity number
 CAUTION
Always be sure to clean the area around any filler plug, drain plug, or dipstick before 
checking or draining any lubricant. This is especially important in dusty or sandy 
areas and when the vehicle is used on unpaved roads. Cleaning the plug and dipstick 
areas will prevent dirt and grit from entering the engine and other mechanisms that 
could be damaged.
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy and cold weather 
operating (engine start and engine oil flowability). Lower viscosity engine oils can 
provide better fuel economy and cold weather performance, however, higher viscosity 
engine oils are required for satisfactory lubrication in hot weather. Using oils of any 
viscosity other than those recommended could result in engine damage.
When choosing an oil, consider the range of temperature your vehicle will be operated 
in before the next oil change. Proceed to select the recommended oil viscosity from 
the chart.

Seats & Safety System
3-2
You will find many safety precautions 
and recommendations throughout this 
section, and throughout this manual. 
The safety precautions in this section 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
While 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 properly restrained. Infants, 
young children, and short adults are at 
the greatest risk of being injured by an 
inflating air bag. Follow all instructions 
and warnings in this manual.
Driver distraction
Driver distraction presents a serious and 
potentially deadly danger, especially 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 driving. 
To reduce your risk of distraction and an 
accident:
•	
ALWAYS set up your mobile devices 
(i.e., MP3 players, phones, navigation 
units, etc.) when your vehicle is 
parked or safely stopped.
•	 ONLY use your mobile device when 
allowed by laws and conditions permit 
safe use. NEVER text or email while 
driving. Most countries have laws 
prohibiting drivers from texting. Some 
countries and cities also prohibit 
drivers from using handheld phones.
•	 NEVER let the use of a mobile device 
distract you from driving. You have a 
responsibility to your passengers and 
others on the road to always drive 
safely, with your hands on the wheel 
as well as your eyes and attention on 
the road.
Control your speed
Excessive speed is a major factor in crash 
injuries and deaths. Generally, the higher 
the speed, the greater the risk, but 
serious injuries can also occur at lower 
speeds. Never drive faster than is safe 
for current conditions, regardless of the 
maximum speed posted.
Keep your vehicle in safe 
condition
Having a tire blowout or a mechanical 
failure can be extremely hazardous. To 
reduce the possibility of such problems, 
check your tire pressures and condition 
frequently, and perform all regularly 
scheduled maintenance.

Front seats
 WARNING
Take the following precautions when 
adjusting your seat:
•	NEVER attempt to adjust the seat 
while the vehicle is moving. The seat 
could respond with unexpected 
movement and may cause loss 
of vehicle control resulting in an 
accident.
•	 Do not place anything under the 
front seats. Loose objects in the 
driver’s foot area could interfere 
with the operation of the foot pedals, 
causing an accident.
•	 Do not allow anything to interfere 
with the normal position and proper 
locking of the seatback.
•	 Do not place a cigarette lighter on 
the floor or seat. When you operate 
the seat, gas may exit out of the 
lighter causing a fire.
•	 Use extreme caution when picking 
up small objects trapped under the 
seats or between the seat and the 
center console. Your hands might be 
cut or injured by the sharp edges of 
the seat mechanism.
•	 If there are occupants in the rear 
seats, be careful while adjusting the 
front seat position.
•	 Make sure that the seat is locked in 
place after the adjustment. If not, 
the seat might move unexpectedly 
resulting in an accident.
 CAUTION
To prevent injury:
•	Do not adjust your seat while 
wearing your seat belt. Moving the 
seat cushion forward may cause 
strong pressure on your abdomen.
•	 Do not allow your hands or fingers to 
get caught in the seat mechanisms 
while the seat is moving.

Head Restraints
The vehicle’s front and rear (second row 
and/or third row) seats have adjustable 
head restraints. The head restraints 
provide comfort for passengers, but 
more importantly they are designed to 
help protect passengers from whiplash 
and other neck and spinal injuries during 
an accident, especially in a rear impact 
collision.
 WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or 
death in an accident, take the following 
precautions when adjusting your head 
restraints:
•	Always properly adjust the head 
restraints for all passengers BEFORE 
starting the vehicle.
•	 NEVER let anyone ride in a seat 
with the head restraints removed or 
reversed.
OHI039190N
•	Adjust the head restraints so the 
middle of the head restraints is at the 
same height as the height of the top 
of the eyes.
•	 NEVER adjust the head restraints 
position of the driver’s seat when the 
vehicle is in motion.
•	 Adjust the head restraints as close to 
the passenger’s head as possible. Do 
not use a seat cushion that holds the 
body away from the seatback.
•	 Make sure the head restraints locks 
into position after adjusting it.

Seats & Safety System
3-34
Children Always in the Rear
 WARNING
Always properly restrain children in the 
vehicle. Children of all ages are safer 
when restrained in the rear seat. A child 
riding in the front passenger seat can 
be forcefully struck by an inflating air 
bag resulting in SERIOUS INJURY or 
DEATH.
Children under age 13 should always 
ride in the rear seats and must always be 
properly restrained to minimize the risk 
of injury in an accident, sudden stop or 
sudden maneuver.
According to accident statistics, children 
are safer when properly restrained in the 
rear seats than in the front seat. Even 
with air bags, children can be seriously 
injured or killed. Children too large for a 
Child Restraint System must use the seat 
belts provided.
All 50 states have child restraint laws 
which require children to travel in 
approved Child Restraint Systems.
The laws governing the age or height/
weight restrictions at which seat belts 
can be used instead of Child Restraint 
System differs among states, so 
you should be aware of the specific 
requirements in your country, and where 
you are travelling.
Child Restraint Systems must be properly 
placed and installed in the rear seat. 
You must use a commercially available 
Child Restraint System that meets the 
requirements of the Federal Motor 
Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS 213).
Child Restraint Systems are generally 
designed to be secured in a vehicle seat 
by lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt, 
or by a LATCH system in the rear seats of 
the vehicle.
Child Restraint System (CRS)
Infants and younger children must be 
restrained in an appropriate rearward-
facing or forward-facing CRS that has 
first been properly secured to the seat 
of the vehicle. Read and comply with 
the instructions for installation and use 
provided by the manufacturer of the 
Child Restraint System.
 WARNING
An improperly secured child restraint 
can increase the risk of SERIOUS 
INJURY or DEATH in an accident. Always 
take the following precautions when 
using a Child Restraint System:
•	NEVER install a child or infant 
restraint in the front passenger's 
seat.
•	 Always properly secure the child 
restraint to a rear seat of the vehicle.
•	 Always follow the child restraint 
system manufacturer's instructions 
for installation and use.
•	 Always properly restrain your child in 
the child restraint.
•	 If the vehicle head restraint prevents 
proper installation of a child seat 
(as described in the child restraint 
system manual), the head restraint of 
the respective seating position shall 
be readjusted or entirely removed.
•	 Do not use an infant carrier or a 
child safety seat that "hooks" over 
a seatback, it may not provide 
adequate protection in an accident.
•	 After an accident, have an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer check the child 
restraint system, seat belts, tether 
anchors and lower anchors.
