System precautions
•	Make sure that all the windows are 
closed. If the window is open, the 
alert may operate by the sensor 
detecting an unintended movement 
(e.g. wind or bugs). 
•	 Cluster Steering wheel
OTM048165LOTM050216
If you do not want to use Rear 
Occupant Alert, press the OK button 
on the steering wheel when the first 
alert is displayed on the cluster. Doing 
so will deactivate the second alert one 
time.
•	 An alert can occur if the there is an 
impact on the roof.
•	 If boxes or objects are stacked in the 
vehicle, the system may not detect 
the boxes or objects. Or, the alert may 
operate if the boxes or objects fall off.
•	 The sensor may not operate normally 
if the senor is obscured by foreign 
substances.
•	 The alert may operate if movement 
in the driver or passenger seat is 
detected.
•	 The alert may operate with the doors 
locked due to car wash or surrounding 
vibration or noise.
•	 If the vehicle is started remotely (if 
equipped with Remote Start), inside 
movement detection will stop.
 WARNING
Even if your vehicle is equipped with 
Rear Occupant Alert, always make sure 
to check the rear seat before you leave 
the vehicle.
Rear Occupant Alert may not operate 
when:
•	Movement does not continue for 
a certain period of time or the 
movement is small.
•	 The rear passenger is covered with 
an object such as a blanket.
•	 Always be cautious of the 
passenger’s safety as the detection 
function and second alert may 
not operate depending on the 
surrounding environment and 
certain conditions.

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.

Where are the air bags?
Driver’s and passenger’s front air 
bags
Driver’s front air bag
OTM030006
Passenger’s front air bag
OTM030007
Your vehicle is equipped with a 
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) 
and lap/shoulder belts at both the driver 
and passenger seating positions.
The SRS consists of air bags which are 
located in the center of the steering 
wheel and the passenger’s side front 
panel pad above the glove box. 
The air bags are labeled with the letters 
“AIR BAG” embossed on the pad covers.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide the 
vehicle’s driver and front passengers with 
additional protection than that offered 
by the seat belt system alone in case of a 
frontal impact of sufficient severity.
The SRS uses sensors to gather 
information about the driver’s and front 
passenger's seat belt usage and impact 
severity.The seat belt buckle sensors determine 
if the driver and front passenger's seat 
belts are fastened. These sensors provide 
the ability to control the SRS deployment 
based on whether or not the seat belts are 
fastened, and how severe the impact is.
The advanced SRS offers the ability to 
control the air bag inflation within two 
levels. A first stage level is provided for 
moderate-severity impacts. A second 
stage level is provided for more severe 
impacts.
According to the impact severity, and 
seat belt usage, the SRS Control Module 
(SRSCM) controls the air bag inflation. 
Failure to properly wear seat belts can 
increase the risk or severity of injury in an 
accident.
 WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or 
death from inflating front air bags, take 
the following precautions:
•	
Seat belts must be worn at all times 
to help keep occupants positioned 
properly.
•	 Move your seat as far back as 
possible from front air bags, while 
still maintaining control of the 
vehicle.
•	 Never lean against the door or center 
console.
•	 Do not allow the front passenger 
to place their feet or legs on the 
dashboard.
•	 No objects (such as crash pad 
cover, mobile phone holder, cup 
holder, perfume or stickers) should 
be placed over or near the air bag 
modules on the steering wheel, 
instrument panel, windshield glass, 
and the front passenger’s panel 
above the glove box. Such objects 
could cause harm if the vehicle is in a 
crash severe enough to cause the air 
bags to deploy.
•	 Do not attach any objects on the 
front windshield and inside mirror.

Side air bags 
Side air bag
OTM030029
OTM030030
Your vehicle is equipped with a side air 
bag in each front seat. The purpose of 
the air bag is to provide the vehicle’s 
driver and the front passenger with 
additional protection than that offered by 
the seat belt alone.
The side air bags are designed to deploy 
during certain side impact collisions, 
depending on the crash severity, angle, 
speed and point of impact.
The side air bags on both sides of the 
vehicle are designed to deploy when a 
rollover is detected by a rollover sensor. 
(if equipped with rollover sensor)
The side air bags are not designed to 
deploy in all side impact or rollover 
situations.
 WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or 
death from an inflating side air bag and 
front center 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 hang other objects except 
clothes. In an accident it may cause 
vehicle damage or personal injury 
especially when air bag is inflated.
•	 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 cause impact to the doors 
when the Engine Start/Stop button 
is in the ON or START position as this 
may cause the side air bags to inflate.
•	 If the seat or seat cover is damaged, 
we recommend that the system be 
serviced by an authorized HYUNDAI 
dealer.

Curtain air bags 
OTM030031
OTM030032
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, angle, speed and impact.For vehicles equipped with a rollover 
sensor the side and/or curtain air bags 
and pre-tensioners 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.
 WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or 
death from an inflating curtain air bag, 
take the following precautions:
•	
All seat occupants must wear 
seat belts at all times to help keep 
occupants positioned properly.
•	 Properly secure Child Restraint 
System as far away from the door as 
possible.
•	 Do not place any objects over the air 
bag. Also, do not attach any objects 
around the area the air bag inflates 
such as the door, side door glass, 
front and rear pillar, roof side rail.
•	 Do not hang other objects except 
clothes, especially hard or breakable 
objects.
In an accident, it may cause vehicle 
damage or personal injury.
•	 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.
•	 Do not open or repair the side curtain 
air bags.

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.
