System operation
•	First alert
When you turn off the engine and 
open the driver’s door after opening 
and closing the rear door or liftgate, 
the ‘Check rear seats’ warning 
message appears on the cluster. 
•	 Second alert
After the first alert, the second alert 
operates when any movement is 
detected in the vehicle after the 
driver’s door is closed and all the 
doors are locked. The horn will sound 
for approximately 25 seconds. If 
the system continues to detect a 
movement, the alert operates up to 8 
times.
Unlock the doors with the smart key 
to stop the alert.
•	 The system detects movement in the 
vehicle for 8 hours after the door is 
locked.
•	 The second alert is activated only after 
the prior activation of the first alert.
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). 
•	 ClusterSteering wheel

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 sensor is blocked with 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.
•	 When the scheduled ventilation 
function is in operation, inside 
movement detection will stop.

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.

Side air bags 
Side air bag
ONX4030039
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 
ONX4030040
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.

Do not install a Child Restraint 
System on the Front Passenger’s 
Seat
OHI039193N
Even though your vehicle is equipped 
with the OCS, never install a child 
restraint in the front passenger’s seat. 
An inflating air bag can forcefully strike a 
child or child restraint resulting in serious 
or fatal injury.
 WARNING
NEVER use a rearward facing Child 
Restraint on a seat protected by an 
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH 
or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can 
occur.
Why didn’t my air bag go off in a 
collision?
There are certain types of accidents in 
which the air bag would not be expected 
to provide additional protection. These 
include rear impacts, second or third 
collisions in multiple impact accidents, 
as well as low speed impacts. Damage to 
the vehicle indicates a collision energy 
absorption, and is not an indicator of 
whether or not an air bag should have 
inflated.
Air bag collision sensors
 WARNING
To reduce the risk of an air bag 
deploying unexpectedly and causing 
serious injury or death:
•	Do not hit or allow any objects to 
impact the locations where air bags 
or sensors are installed.
•	 Do not perform maintenance on or 
around the air bag sensors. If the 
location or angle of the sensors is 
altered, the air bags may deploy 
when they should not or may not 
deploy when they should.
•	 Installing bumper guards with non-
genuine Hyundai or non-equivalent 
parts may adversely affect the 
collision and airbag deployment 
performance.
•	 Press the Engine Start/Stop button to 
the OFF or ACC position and wait for 
3 minutes when the vehicle is being 
towed to prevent inadvertent air bag 
deployment.
•	 We recommend that all air bag 
repairs are conducted by an 
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Air bag non-inflation conditions
ONX4030047
In certain low-speed collisions the air 
bags may not deploy. The air bags are 
designed not to deploy in such cases 
because they may not provide benefits 
beyond the protection of the seat belts.
ONX4030048
Front air bags are not designed to inflate 
in rear collisions, because occupants 
are moved backward by the force of the 
impact. In this case, inflated air bags 
would not provide any additional benefit.
ONX4030049
Front air bags may not inflate in side 
impact collisions, because occupants 
move in the direction of the collision, 
and thus in side impacts, front air bag 
deployment would not provide additional 
occupant protection.
However, side and curtain air bags 
and front center air bag may inflate 
depending on the severity of impact.
OTM030034
In an angled collision, the force of impact 
may direct the occupants in a direction 
where the air bags would not be able to 
provide any additional benefit, and thus 
the sensors may not deploy any air bags.
