Do not install a Child Restraint
System on the front passenger
seat
OHI038169L
Never install a Child Restraint System in
the front passenger’s seat. An inflating air
bag can forcefully strike a child or restraint
resulting in serious or fatal injury.
WARNING
[ Extreme hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing Child Restraint
System on a seat protected by an air
bag in front of it!
[ NEVER use a rearward facing Child
Restraint System on a seat protected
by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it,
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the
CHILD can occur.
[ Never put a Child Restraint System in
the front passenger’s seat. If the front
passenger air bag inflates, it would
cause serious or fatal injuries.
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.
To ensure correct function of the
airbag system we recommend to
replace the bumper with genuine
HYUNDAI part or the equivalent (of
the genuine part) specified for your
vehicle.
[ Place the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF or ACC position, when the
vehicle is being towed to prevent
inadvertent air bag deployment.
[ We recommend that all air bag
repairs are conducted by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.

Air bag inflation conditions
OBC3030027
Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to inflate
in a frontal collision depending on the
severity of impact of the front collision.
OBC3030028R
OAC3039029R
Side and curtain air bags
Side and curtain air bags are designed
to inflate when an impact is detected
by side collision sensors depending on
the severity of impact resulting from
a side impact collision. Although the
driver’s and front passenger’s air bags
are designed to inflate only in frontal
collisions, they also may inflate in other
types of collisions if the front impact
sensors detect a sufficient impact. Side
and curtain air bags are designed to
inflate only in side impact collisions, but
they may inflate in other collisions if the
side impact sensors detect a sufficient
impact. If the vehicle chassis is impacted
by bumps or objects on unimproved
roads, the air bags may deploy. Drive
carefully on unimproved roads or on
surfaces not designed for vehicle traffic to
prevent unintended air bag deployment.

Air bag non-inflation conditions
OBC3030029
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.
OBC3030030
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.
OBC3030028R
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 may
inflate depending on the severity of
impact.
OGB034038
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.
3-56
Safety system
OBC3030032
Just before impact, drivers often brake
heavily. Such heavy braking lowers the
front portion of the vehicle causing it
to “ride” under a vehicle with a higher
ground clearance. Air bags may not
inflate in this “under-ride” situation
because deceleration forces that are
detected by sensors may be significantly
reduced by such “underride” collisions.
OHI038166
Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because front air
bag deployment would not provide
additional occupant protection.

inflate when the vehicle is rolled over
by a side impact collision, if the vehicle
is equipped with side and/or curtain air
bags.
OBC3030033
Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility poles
or trees, where the point of impact is
concentrated and the collision energy is
absorbed by the vehicle structure.

Electric Chromic Mirror (ECM)
(if equipped)
OBC3050014
The electric rearview mirror
automatically controls the glare from the
headlamp of the vehicle behind you in
nighttime or low light driving conditions.
When the engine is running, the glare is
automatically controlled by the sensor
(1) mounted in the rearview mirror. The
sensor detects the light level around
the vehicle, and automatically adjusts
to control the headlamp glare from
vehicles behind you.
Whenever the shift button is placed in R
(Reverse), the mirror will automatically
go to the brightest setting in order to

Be sure to adjust mirror angles before
driving.
Your vehicle is equipped with both left-
hand and right-hand outside rearview
mirrors.
The mirror heads can be folded to
prevent damage during an automatic car
wash or when passing through a narrow
street.
When the vehicle speed is over 9.3 mph
(15 km/h), the outside rearview mirror
will not fold.
