Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly. When
the seatback is reclined, the shoulder
belt cannot do its job because it will not
be snug against your chest. Instead,
it will be in front of you. During an
accident, you could be thrown into the
seat belt, causing neck or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,
the greater chance the passenger’s
hips will slide under the lap belt or the
passenger’s neck will strike the shoulder
belt.

Seat cushion height
To change the height of the seat cushion:
• Push down the lever several times, to
lower the seat cushion.
• Pull up the lever several times, to raise
the seat cushion.
Power adjustment (if equipped)
The front seat can be adjusted by using
the control switches located on the
outside of the seat cushion. Before
driving, adjust the seat to the proper
position so that you can easily control
the steering wheel, foot pedals and
controls on the instrument panel.
WARNING
NEVER allow children in the vehicle
unattended. The power seats are
operable when the vehicle is turned off.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the seats:
• Always stop adjusting the seats when
the seat has been adjusted as far
forward or rearward as possible.
• Do not adjust the seats longer than
necessary when the vehicle is turned
off. This may result in unnecessary
battery drain.
• Do not operate two or more seats at
the same time. This may result in an
electrical malfunction.

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.
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 Electric Power Steering does not
operate normally, the warning light
and the message ‘Check motor driven
power steering’ 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 or to
a service station and have the system
checked as soon as possible.
Information
The following symptoms may occur during
normal vehicle operation:
• The steering effort may be high
immediately after pressing the Engine
Start/Stop button to 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
might 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 Engine Start/Stop
button is in the ON or 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 EPS,
the steering effort assist function will
not be activated 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 be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible.

because they may cause damage or
discoloration.
USB Port

WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH, take the following precautions:

[NEVER allow children or any person
who is unfamiliar with the vehicle to
touch the ignition switch or related
parts. Unexpected and sudden
vehicle movement can occur.

[NEVER reach through the steering
wheel for the ignition switch, or any
other control, while the vehicle is in
motion. The presence of your hand
or arm in this area may cause a loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.
Key ignition switch (if equipped)
OTM060051L[A] : LOCK, [B] : ACC
[C] : ON, [D] : START
Whenever the front door is opened, the
ignition switch will illuminate, provided
the ignition switch is not in the ON
position. The light will go off immediately
when the ignition switch is turned on or
go off after about 30 seconds when the
door is closed. (if equipped)
WARNING

[NEVER turn the ignition switch to
the LOCK or ACC position while the
vehicle is in motion except in an
emergency.
This will result in the engine turning
off and loss of power assist for the
steering and brake systems. This may
lead to loss of directional control and
braking function, which could cause
an accident.

[Before leaving the driver's seat,
always make sure the shift button is
in 1st gear (for manual transmission
vehicle) or P (Park, for automatic
transmission vehicle) position, apply
the parking brake, and turn the
ignition switch to the LOCK position.
Unexpected vehicle movement may
occur if these precautions are not
followed.
NOTICE
Never use after market keyhole covers.
This may generate start-up failure due
to communication failure.
