VEHICLE DATA COLLECTION AND EVENT DATA RECORDERS
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of 
an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag 
deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a 
vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle 
dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
•	How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
•	 Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;
•	 How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
•	 How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which 
crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a 
non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal 
driving conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) 
are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the 
EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash 
investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the 
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, 
such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if 
they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS    

03
3-31
NOTICE
The sensor that activates the SRS 
control module is connected with the 
pre–tensioner seat belts. The SRS air 
bag warning light on the instrument 
cluster will illuminate for approximately 
3~6 seconds after the Engine Start/Stop 
button is in the ON position, and then it 
should turn off.
If the pre-tensioner is not working 
properly, the warning light will 
illuminate even if the SRS air bag is not 
malfunctioning. If the warning light 
does not illuminate, stays illuminated 
or illuminates when the vehicle is 
being driven, we recommend the pre-
tensioner seat belts and/or SRS control 
module be inspected by an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.
 Information
•	Pre-tensioner seat belts may be 
activated in certain frontal or side 
collisions or rollover situations (if 
equipped with rollover sensor).
•	 When the pre-tensioner seat belts are 
activated, a loud noise may be heard 
and fine dust, which may appear to be 
smoke, may be visible in the passenger 
compartment. These are normal 
operating conditions and are not 
hazardous.
•	 Although it is non-toxic, the fine dust 
may cause skin irritation and should 
not be inhaled for prolonged periods. 
Wash all exposed skin areas thoroughly 
after an accident in which the pre-
tensioner seat belts were activated.
Additional seat belt safety 
precautions
Seat belt use during pregnancy
The seat belt should always be used 
during pregnancy. The best way to 
protect your unborn child is to protect 
yourself by always wearing the seat belt.
Pregnant women should always wear 
a lap-shoulder seat belt. Place the 
shoulder belt across your chest, routed 
between your breasts and away from 
your neck. Place the lap belt below your 
belly so that it fits SNUGLY across your 
hips and pelvic bone, under the rounded 
part of the belly.
 WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or 
death to an unborn child during an 
accident, pregnant women should 
NEVER place the lap portion of the 
seat belt above or over the area of the 
abdomen where the unborn child is 
located.
Seat belt use and children
Infant and small children
Most countries have Child Restraint 
System laws which require children to 
travel in approved Child Restraint System 
devices, including booster seats. The age 
at which seat belts can be used instead 
of Child Restraint System differs among 
countries, so you should be aware of the 
specific requirements in your country, 
and where you are travelling. Infant and 
Child Restraint System must be properly 
placed and installed in a rear seat.
For more information refer to the “Child 
Restraint Systems” section in this 
chapter.   

Seats & Safety System
3-42
Securing a Child Restraint System 
with a lap/shoulder belt
 WARNING
ALWAYS place a rearward-facing Child 
Restraint System in the rear seat of the 
vehicle.
Placing a rearward-facing child restraint 
in the front seat can result in serious 
injury or death if the Child Restraint 
System is struck by an inflating air bag.
When not using the LATCH system, all 
Child Restraint Systems must be secured 
to a rear seat with the lap part of a lap/
shoulder belt.
OHI038145
Automatic locking mode
Since all passenger seat belts move 
freely under normal conditions and 
only lock under extreme or emergency 
conditions (emergency locking mode), 
you must manually pull the seat belt all 
the way out to shift the retractor to the 
"Automatic Locking" mode to secure a 
Child Restraint System.
The "Automatic Locking" mode will help 
prevent the normal movement of the 
child in the vehicle from causing the 
seat belt to loosen and compromise 
the Child Restraint System. To secure a 
Child Restraint System, use the following 
procedure.
To install a Child Restraint System on the 
rear seats, do the following:
1.
 Place the Child Res
traint System on a 
rear seat and route the lap/shoulder 
belt around or through the Child 
Restraint System, following the Child 
Restraint System manufacturer’s 
instructions. Make sure the seat belt 
webbing is not twisted.
 Information
When using the rear center seat belt, you 
should also refer to the "Rear Seat Belt – 
Passenger's 3-point system" section in this 
chapter.

(13) Occupant classification system
The SRSCM continually monitors all SRS 
components while the ignition switch 
is ON to determine if a crash impact 
is severe enough to require air bag 
deployment or pre-tensioner seat belt 
deployment.
SRS warning light
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) 
air bag warning light on the instrument 
panel displays the air bag symbol 
depicted in the illustration. The system 
checks the air bag electrical system for 
malfunctions. The light indicates that 
there is a potential problem with your 
air bag system, which could include 
your side and/or curtain air bags used 
for rollover protection (if equipped with 
rollover sensor).
 WARNING
If your SRS malfunctions, the air bag 
may not inflate properly during an 
accident increasing the risk of serious 
injury or death.
If any of the following conditions occur, 
your SRS is malfunctioning:
•	 The light does not turn on for 
approximately three to six seconds 
when the Engine Start/Stop button is 
in the ON position.
•	 The light stays on after illuminating 
for approximately three to six 
seconds.
•	 The light comes on while the vehicle 
is in motion.
•	 The light blinks when the engine is 
running.
We recommend that an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer inspect the SRS 
as soon as possible if any of these 
conditions occur.
