Airbag inflation conditions
Front airbags
B3003401
Front airbags are designed to inflate in a
frontal collision depending on the
severity of impact of the front collision.
Side and curtain airbags
B3003402
B3003403
Side and curtain airbags are designed to
inflate when an impact is detected by side
collision sensors depending on the
severity of impact resulting from a side
collision.Although the driver’s and front
passenger’s airbags are designed to
inflate in frontal collisions, they also may
inflate in other types of collisions if the
front impact sensors detect a sufficient
impact. Side and curtain airbags are
designed to inflate in side impact
collisions, but they may inflate in other
collisions if the side impact sensors
detect a sufficient impact.
Also, the side and curtain airbags are
designed to inflate when a rollover is
detected by a rollover sensor.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved roads,
the airbags may deploy. Drive carefully on
unimproved roads or on surfaces not
designed for vehicle traffic to prevent
unintended airbag deployment.
Airbag non-inflation conditions
B3003404
In certain low-speed collisions the
airbags may not deploy. The airbags are
designed not to deploy in such cases
because they may not provide benefits
beyond the protection of the seat belts.

B3003409
Front airbags may not inflate in rollover
accidents because front airbag
deployment would not provide additional
occupant protection.
The side and curtain airbags may inflate in
a rollover situation, when it is detected by
the rollover sensor.
B3003410
Airbags 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.
SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free and
there are no parts you can safely service
by yourself. If the SRS airbag warning
light does not illuminate when the
Start/Stop button is in the ON position, or
continuously remains on, have the
system be immediately inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.Any work on the SRS system, such as
removing, installing, repairing, or any
work on the steering wheel, the front
passenger’s panel, front seats and roof
rails be performed by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. Improper handling of
the SRS system may result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death take the following precautions:
• Do not attempt to modify or disconnect
the SRS components or wiring,
including the addition of any kind of
badges to the pad covers or
modifications to the body structure.
• Do not place objects over or near the airbag modules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, and the front
passenger’s panel above the glove box.
• Clean the airbag pad covers with a soft cloth moistened with plain water.
Solvents or cleaners could adversely
affect the airbag covers and proper
deployment of the system.
• Have the inflated airbags replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• If components of the airbag system must be discarded, or if the vehicle
must be scrapped, certain safety
precautions must be observed. Consult
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for the
necessary information. Failure to follow
these precautions could increase the
risk of personal injury.

Additional Safety Precautions
Passengers should not move out of or
change seats while the vehicle is
moving. A passenger who is not wearing
a seat belt during a crash or emergency
stop can be thrown against the inside of
the vehicle, against other occupants, or
be ejected from the vehicle.
Do not use any accessories on seat belts.
Devices claiming to improve occupant
comfort or reposition the seat belt can
reduce the protection provided by the
seat belt and increase the chance of
serious injury in a crash.
Do not modify the front seats.
Modification of the front seats could
interfere with the operation of the
supplemental restraint system sensing
components or side airbags.
Do not place items under the front seats.
Placing items under the front seats could
interfere with the operation of the
supplemental restraint system sensing
components and wiring harnesses.
Do not cause impact to the doors.
Impact to the doors when the Start/Stop
button is in the ON or START position may
cause the airbags to inflate.
Modifications to accommodate
disabilities. If you require modification to
your vehicle to accommodate a disability,
contact the HYUNDAI Customer Connect
Center at 800-633-5151.
Adding equipment to or modifying
your airbag equipped vehicle
If you modify your vehicle by changing
your vehicle’s frame, bumper system,
front end or side sheet metal or ride
height, this may affect the operation of
your vehicle’s airbag system.
Airbag Warning Labels
B3003601
Airbag warning labels, required by the
U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA), are attached to
alert the driver and passengers of
potential risks of the airbag system. Be
sure to read all of the information about
the airbags that are installed on your
vehicle in this Owners Manual.

• If the vehicle is started remotely (if equipped with Remote Start), inside
movement detection stops.
• The alert may occur if any movement is detected in the driver's or passenger's
seat.
• If all doors are locked with a passenger in the vehicle, the alert may occur.
• The alert may occur if there is an impact on the vehicle.

Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) may not
operate when:
• Movement does not continue for a certain period of time or the movement
is small.
• A child is not seated in a child restraint system. • The detection signal is weak because
the signal is obscured by a seat or CRS

Steering Wheel
Motor Driven Power Steering
(MDPS)
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.
If you notice any change in the effort
required to steer during normal vehicle
operation, have the system inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION If Motor Driven 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 the vehicle to an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the system
inspected as soon as possible.
Information During normal vehicle operation:
• The steering effort may be high immediately after pressing the Start/Stop
button to the ON position.
This happens as the system performs the
MDPS system diagnostics. When the
diagnostics are completed, the steering
wheel effort will return to its normal
condition.
• When the 12 V 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.
