Safety features of your vehicle
1. Route the child restraint seat teth-
er strap over the seatback.
For vehicles with adjustable head-
rests, route the tether strap under
the headrest and between the
headrest posts, otherwise route
the tether strap over the top of the
seatback.
2. Connect the tether strap hook to
the appropriate child restraint
hook holder and tighten to secure
the child restraint seat.
WARNING
When using the vehicle's
"Tether Anchor" system to
install a child restraint system
in the rear seat, all unused
vehicle rear seat belt metal
latch plates or tabs must be
latched securely in their seat
belt buckles and the seat belt
webbing must be retracted
behind the child restraint to
prevent the child from reach-
ing and taking hold of unre-
tracted seat belts. Unlatched
metal latch plates or tabs may
allow the child to reach the
unretracted seat belts which
may result in strangulation
and a serious injury or death
to the child in the child
restraint.
Do not place anything around
the lower anchors. Also make
sure that the seat belt is not
caught in the lower anchors.
WARNING- Tether strap
Never mount more than one
child restraint to a single tether
or to a single lower anchorage
point. The increased load
caused by multiple seats may
cause the tethers anchor or
lower anchorage points to
break, causing serious injury or
death.
WARNING
A child can be seriously injured
or killed in a collision if the
child restraint is not properly
anchored to the car and the
child is not properly restrained
in the child restraint. Always fol-
low the child seat manufactur-
er’s instructions for installation
and use.

Safety features of your vehicle
Once you have installed the LATCH
child restraint, assure that the seat is
properly attached to the LATCH and
tether anchors.
Also, test the child restraint seat
before you place the child in it. Tilt
the seat from side to side. Also try to
tug the seat forward. Check to see if
the anchors hold the seat in place.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
The recommended weight for the
LATCH system is under 65 lbs (30
kg).
How to calculate the child restraint
weight :
Child restraint weight =
65 lbs (30 kg) - Child weight
WARNING
If the child restraint is not
anchored properly, the risk of a
child being seriously injured or
killed in a collision greatly
increases.
WARNING - LATCH lower
anchors
LATCH lower anchors are only
to be used with the left and right
rear outboard seating positions.
WARNING
When using the vehicle's
"LATCH" system to install a
child restraint system in the
rear seat, all unused vehicle
rear seat belt metal latch plates
or tabs must be latched secure-
ly in their seat belt buckles and
the seat belt webbing must be
retracted behind the child
restraint to prevent the child
from reaching and taking hold
of unretracted seat belts.
Unlatched metal latch plates or
tabs may allow the child to
reach the unretracted seat belts
which may result in strangula-
tion and a serious injury or
death to the child in the child
restraint.
CAUTION
Do not allow the rear seat belt
webbing to get scratched or
pinched by the child-seat latch
and LATCH anchor during the
installation.

Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to inflate
in moderate to severe frontal colli-
sions within a limited range of
angles. The impact forces measured
by the front impact sensors and SRS
control module determine whether or
not to inflate the front airbags.
WARNING
Do not hit or allow any objects
to impact the locations where
air bags or sensors are
installed.
This may cause unexpected
air bag deployment, which
could result in serious per-
sonal injury or death.
If the installation location or
angle of the sensors is altered
in any way, the air bags may
deploy when they should not
or they may not deploy when
they should, causing severe
injury or death.
Therefore, do not try to per-
form maintenance on or
around the air bag sensors.
Have the vehicle checked and
repaired by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Problems may arise if the sen-
sor installation angles are
changed due to the deforma-
tion of the front bumper, body
or B and C pillars where side
collision sensors are
installed. Have the vehicle
checked and repaired by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Your vehicle has been
designed to absorb impact
and deploy the air bag(s) in
certain collisions. Installing
bumper guards or replacing a
bumper with non-genuine
parts may adversely affect
your vehicle’s collision and air
bag deployment performance.
OBK039041

359
Safety features of your vehicle
Frontal airbags may not inflate in
"under-ride" collisions where the
collision energy is absorbed above
the vehicle's front bumper. Side impact and curtain air bags
may not inflate in a rollover acci-
dent unless the side of the vehicle
is struck with sufficient force to
cause air bag inflation to occur. Air bags may not inflate if the vehi-
cle collides with objects such as a
utility pole or tree, where the point
of impact is concentrated and the
collision energy is absorbed by the
vehicle structure.

Features of your vehicle
Warnings and indicators
All warning lights are checked by
turning the ignition switch ON (do not
start the engine). Any light that does
not illuminate should be checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
After starting the engine, check to
make sure that all warning lights are
off. If any are still on, this indicates a
situation that needs attention. When
releasing the parking brake, the
brake system warning light should go
off. The fuel warning light will stay on
if the fuel level is low.
Air bag warning light
This warning light will illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds each time
you turn the ignition switch to the ON
position.
This light also comes on when the
Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) is not working properly. If the
SRS air bag warning light does
not come on, or continuously remains
on after operating for about 6 sec-
onds when you turned the ignition
switch to the ON position or started
the engine, or if it comes on while
driving, have the SRS inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Anti-lock brake system
(ABS) warning light
This light illuminates if the ignition
switch is turned ON and goes off in
approximately 3 seconds if the sys-
tem is operating normally.
If the ABS warning light remains on,
comes on while driving, or does not
come on when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, this indi-
cates that there may be a malfunc-
tion with the ABS.
If this occurs, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible. The nor-
mal braking system will still be oper-
ational, but without the assistance of
the anti-lock brake system.

Electronic brake force dis-
tribution (EBD) system
warning light
If these two warning lights
shown illuminate at the
same time while driving,
your vehicle may have a
malfunction with the ABS
and EBD system.
In this case, your ABS and regular
brake system may not work normally.
Have the vehicle checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible.✽ ✽
NOTICE
If the ABS warning light or EBD
warning light is on and stays on, the
speedometer or odometer/tripmeter
may not work. In this case, have
your vehicle checked by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as
possible.
Seat belt warning
As a reminder to the driver, the seat belt
warning light will blink for approximate-
ly 6 seconds each time you turn the
ignition switch to ON or START, regard-
less of belt fastening.
If the driver's seat belt is not fastened
when the ignition switch is turned to ON
or START, the seat belt warning light
and the seat belt warning chime will
operate for approximately 6 seconds.
But if it is fastened within the 6 seconds,
the warning light will blink for approxi-
mately the 6 seconds and the warning
chime will turn off immediately.
If the driver's seat belt is disconnected
after the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position, the seat belt warning light
will blink for approximately 6 seconds
until the belt is fastened. If the driver's
seat belt is not fastened when the vehi-
cle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h),
the seat belt warning light and chime
will operate approximately 10 times
with a pattern of 6 seconds on and 24
seconds off until the belt is fastened
or the vehicle speed decreases
below 3 mph (5 km/h).
WARNING
If the both ABS and brake warn-
ing lights are on and stay on,
your vehicle’s brake system will
not work normally during sudden
braking. In this case, avoid high
speed driving and abrupt brak-
ing. Have your vehicle checked
by an authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er as soon as possible.

Non-operational conditions of
rear parking assist system
The rear parking assist system
may not operate properly when:
1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (It
will operate normally when the
moisture has been cleared.)
2. The sensor is covered with foreign
matter, such as snow or water, or
the sensor cover is blocked. (It will
operate normally when the materi-
al is removed or the sensor is no
longer blocked.)
3. Driving on uneven road surfaces
(unpaved roads, gravel, bumps,
gradient).
4. Objects generating excessive
noise (vehicle horns, loud motor-
cycle engines, or truck air brakes)
are within range of the sensor.
5. Heavy rain or water spray exists.
6. Wireless transmitters or mobile
phones are within range of the
sensor.
7. The sensor is covered with snow.The detecting range may decrease
when:
1. The sensor is stained with foreign
matter such as snow or water.
(The sensing range will return to
normal when removed.)
2. Outside air temperature is
extremely hot or cold.
The following objects may not be
recognized by the sensor:
1. Sharp or slim objects such as
ropes, chains or small poles.
2. Objects which tend to absorb the
sensor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.
3. Undetectable objects smaller than
40 in. (1 m) in height and narrower
than 6 in. (14 cm) in diameter.
Rear parking assist system
precautions
The rear parking assist system
may not sound sequentially
depending on the speed and
shapes of the objects detected.
The rear parking assist system
may malfunction if the vehicle
bumper height or sensor installa-
tion has been modified or dam-
aged. Any non-factory installed
equipment or accessories may
also interfere with the sensor per-
formance.
The sensor may not recognize
objects less than 15 in. (40 cm)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.
When the sensor is frozen or
stained with snow, dirt, or water,
the sensor may be inoperative until
the stains are removed using a soft
cloth.
Do not push, scratch or strike the

occur.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
This system can only sense objects
within the range and location of the
sensors, it can not detect objects in
other areas where sensors are not
installed. Also, small or slim objects,
or objects located between sensors
may not be detected.
Always visually check in front and
behind the vehicle when driving.
Be sure to inform any drivers in the
vehicle that may be unfamiliar with
the system regarding the systems
capabilities and limitations.
WARNING
Pay close attention when the
vehicle is driven close to objects
on the road, particularly pedestri-
ans, and especially children. Be
aware that some objects may not
be detected by the sensors, due
to the objects distance, size or
material, all of which can limit the
effectiveness of the sensor.
Always perform a visual inspec-
tion to make sure the vehicle is
clear of all obstructions before
moving the vehicle in any direc-
tion.

529
Driving your vehicle
If at all possible, cease driving the
vehicle immediately. If that is not pos-
sible, use extreme caution while
operating the vehicle and only con-
tinue to drive the vehicle until you
can reach a safe location or repair
shop.Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
The ABS continuously senses the
speed of the wheels. If the wheels
are going to lock, the ABS system
repeatedly modulates the hydraulic
brake pressure to the wheels.
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the
wheels, you may hear a “tik-tik’’
sound from the brakes, or feel a cor-
responding sensation in the brake
pedal. This is normal and it means
your ABS is active.
In order to obtain the maximum ben-
efit from your ABS in an emergency
situation, do not attempt to modulate
your brake pressure and do not try to
pump your brakes. Press your brake
pedal as hard as possible or as hard
as the situation warrants and allow
the ABS to control the force being
delivered to the brakes.
WARNING
ABS (or ESC) will not prevent
accidents due to improper or
dangerous driving maneuvers.
Even though vehicle control is
improved during emergency
braking, always maintain a safe
distance between you and
objects ahead. Vehicle speeds
should always be reduced during
extreme road conditions.
The braking distance for cars
equipped with an anti-lock brak-
ing system (or Electronic
Stability Control system) may be
longer than for those without it in
the following road conditions.
During these conditions the
vehicle should be driven at
reduced speeds:
Rough, gravel or snow-cov-
ered roads.
With tire chains installed.
On roads where the road sur-
face is pitted or has different
surface height.

(Continued)
The safety features of an ABS
(or ESC) equipped vehicle
should not be tested by high
speed driving or cornering. This
could endanger the safety of
yourself or others.
