•Children age 12 and under must
always be properly restrained in
the rear seat. Never allow chil
dren to ride in the front passen
ger seat. If a child over 12 must
be seated in the front seat, he or
she must be properly belted and
the seat should be moved as far
back as possible.
•For maximum safety protection
in all types of crashes, all occu
pants including the driver should
always wear their seat belts
w

hether or not an air bag is also
provided at their seating position
to minimize the risk of severe
injury or death in the event of a
crash. Do not sit or lean unnec
essarily close to the air bag while
the vehicle is in motion.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Air bags can only be used once
– we recommend that the sys
tem be replaced by an author
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
•The SRS is designed to deploy
the front air bags only when an
impact is sufficiently severe and
when the impact angle is less
than 30° from the forward longi
tudinal axis of the vehicle.
Additionally, the air bags will only
deploy once. Seat belts must be
worn at all times.
•Front air bags are not intended to
d
eploy in sideimpact, rear
impact or rollover crashes. In
addition, front air bags will not
deploy in frontal crashes below
the deployment threshold.
•A child restraint system must
never be placed in the front
seat. The infant or child could be
severely injured or killed by an
air bag deployment in case of an
accident.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Sitting improperly or out of posi
tion can result in serious or fatal
injury in a crash. All occupants
should sit upright with the seat
back in an upright position, cen
tered on the seat cushion with
their seat belt on, legs comfort
ably extended and their feet on
the floor until the vehicle is
parked and the ignition key is
removed.
•The SRS air bag system must
deploy very rapidly to provide
protection in a crash. If an occu
p

ant is out of position because
of not wearing a seat belt, the air
bag may forcefully contact the
occupant causing serious or
fatal injuries.

Side impact air bag
(if equipped)
The actual air bags in the vehicle may differ
from the illustration.
Your vehicle is equipped with a side
impact air bag in each front seat. The purpose of the air bag is to pro
vide the vehicle's driver and\for the
front passenger with additional pro
tection than that offered by the seat
belt alone.
The side impact air bags are
designed to deploy only during cer
tain sideimpact collisions, depend
ing on the crash severity, angle,
speed and point of impact. The side
impact air bags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact situations.

Do not allow the passengers to
lean their heads or bodies onto
doors, put their arms on the doors,
stretch their arms out of the win
dow, or place objects between the
doors and passengers when they
are seated on seats equipped with
side and\for curtain air bags.
WARNING
•The side impact air bag is sup
plemental to the driver's and the
passenger's seat belt systems
and is not a substitute for them.
Therefore your seat belts must
be worn at all times while the
vehicle is in motion. The air bags
deploy only in certain side
impact conditions severe
enough to cause significant
injury to the vehicle occupants.
•For best protection from the side
impact air bag system and to
avoid being injured by the
deployin

g side impact air bag,
both front seat occupants should
sit in an upright position with the
seat belt properly fastened. The
driver's hands should be placed
on the steering wheel at the 9:00
and 3:00 positions. The passen
ger's arms and hands should be
placed on their laps.

WARNING

 
"&t%'s%st&'!"'%!'&&

They are designed to help protect
the heads of the front seat occupants
and the rear outboard seat occu
pants in certain side impact colli
sions.
The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy only during cer tain side
impact collisions, depending on the
crash severity, angle, speed and
impact. The curtain air bags are not
designed to deploy in all side impact
situations, collisions from the front or
rear of the vehicle or in most rollover
situations.
•In order for side impact and cur
tain air bags to provide the best
protection, both front seat occu
pants and both outboard rear
occupants should sit in an upright
position with the seat belts prop
erly fastened.
Importantly, children should sit in
a proper child restraint system in
the rear seat.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
•When children are seated in the
rear outboard seats, they must
be seated in the proper child
restraint system. Make sure to
put the child restraint system as
far away from the door side as
possible, and secure the child
restraint system in a locked posi
tion.
•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 pil
l

ar, roof side rail.
•Do not hang other objects except
clothes, especially hard or break
able objects. In an accident, it
may cause vehicle damage or
personal injury.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Do not allow the 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 passen
gers when they are seated on
seats equipped with side and\for
curtain air bags.
•Do not open or repair the side
curtain air bags.
•Never try to open or repair any
components of the side curtain
air bag system. We recommend
that the syst

em be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Failure to follow the above men
tioned instructions can result in
injury or death to the vehicle occu
pants in an accident.

Side air bags
Side air bags (side impact and\for
curtain air bags) are designed to
inflate when an impact is detected by
side collision sensors depending on
the crash severity, speed or angles of
impact resulting from a side impact
collision.
Although the front air bags (driver’s
and front passenger’s air bags) are
designed to inflate only in frontal col
lisions, they also may inflate in other
types of collisions if the front impact
sensors detect a sufficient impact.
Side air bags (side impact and\for
curtain air bags) are designed to
inflate only in side impact collisions,
but they may inflate in other colli
sions if the side impact sensors detect a sufficient impact.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved
roads or sidewalks, air bags may
deploy. Drive carefully on unim
proved roads or on surfaces not
designed for vehicle traffic to prevent
unintended air bag deployment.
Air bag noninflation conditions
• In certain lowspeed 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 pro
tection of the seat belts in such col
lisions. • 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 be
able to provide any additional ben
efit.

Additional safety precautions
• Never let passengers ride in the
cargo area or on top of a folded
down back seat.
All occupants
should sit upright, fully back in their
seats with their seat belts on and
their feet on the floor.
• Passengers should not move out
of or change seats while the vehi
cle 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 out of the vehicle.
• Each seat belt is designed to
restrain one occupant.
If more than
one person uses the same seat
belt, they could be seriously injured
or killed in a collision.
• Do not use any accessories on
seat belts.
Devices claiming to
improve occupant comfort or repo
sition the seat belt can reduce the
protection provided by the seat belt
and increase the chance of serious
injury in a crash. •
Passengers should not place hard
or sharp objects between them
selves and the air bags.
Carrying
hard or sharp objects on your lap
or in your mouth can result in
injuries if an air bag inflates.
• Keep occupants away from the air
bag
covers.
All
occupants should
sit upright, fully back in their seats
with their seat belts on and their
feet on the floor. If occupants are
too close to the air bag covers,
they could be injured if the air bags
inflate.
• Do not attach or place objects on
or near the air bag covers.
Any
object attached to or placed on the
front or side impact air bag covers
could interfere with the proper
operation of the air bags.
• 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 impact air bags. •
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 compo
nents and wiring harnesses.
• Never hold an infant or child on your
lap.
The infant or child could be seri
ously injured or killed in the event of
a crash. All infants and children
should be properly restrained in
appropriate child safety seats or
seat belts in the rear seat.
•Sitting improperly or out of posi
tion can cause occupants to be
shifted too close to a deploying
air bag, strike the interior struc
ture or be thrown from the vehi
cle resulting in serious injury or
death.
•Always sit upright with the seat
back in an upright position, cen
tered on the seat cushion with
your seat belt on, legs comfort
ably extended and your feet on
the floor.
WARNING

Before entering the vehicle
• Be sure all windows\b outside mirror(s)\b and outside lights are clean

To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH\b take the fol
lowing precautions:
•ALWAYS wear your seat belt.
All passengers must be properly
belted whenever the vehicle is
moving. For more information\b
refer to “Seat Belts” in chapter 2.
•Always drive defensively.
Assume other drivers or pedes
trians may be careless and
make mistakes.
•Stay focused on the task of driv
ing. Driver distraction can cause
accidents
.
•Leave plenty of space between
you and the vehicle in front of
you.
WARNING
NEVER drink or take drugs and
drive.
Drinking or taking drugs and driv
ing is dangerous and may result in
an accident and SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH.
Drunk driving is the number one
contributor to the highway death
toll each year. Even a small
amount of alcohol will affect your
reflexes\b perceptions and judg
ment. Just one drink can reduce
your ability to respond to changing
conditions and emergencies and
your reac
tion time gets worse with
each additional drink.
Driving while under the influence
of drugs is as dangerous or more
dangerous than driving under the
influence of alcohol.
(Continued)
(Continued)
You are much more likely to have a
serious accident if you drink or take
drugs and drive. If you are drinking
or taking drugs\b don’t drive. Do not
ride with a driver who has been
drinking or taking drugs. Choose a
designated driver or call a taxi.WARNING

To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
•ALWAYS wear your seatbelt. In
a collision\b an unbelted occu
pant is significantly more likely
to be seriously injured or killed
than a properly belted occupant.
•Avoid high speeds when corner
ing or turning.
•Do not make quick steering
wheel movements\b such as
sharp lane changes or fast\b
sharp turns.
•The risk of rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control of
y

our vehicle at highway speeds.
•Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off the
roadway and the driver over
steers to reenter the roadway.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway\b do not steer
sharply. Instead\b slow down
before pulling back into the trav
el lanes.
•HYUNDAI recommends you fol
low all posted speed limits.
WARNING

Good driving practices
• Never move the shift lever from P(Park) or N (Neutral) to any other
position with the accelerator pedal
depressed.
• Never move the shift lever into P (Park) when the vehicle is in
motion.
Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
• Do not move the shift lever to N (Neutral) when driving. Doing so
may result in an accident because
of a loss of engine braking and the
transaxle could be damaged.
• Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal. Even light\b but
consistent pedal pressure can
result in the brakes overheating\b
brake wear and possibly even
brake failure.
• Depressing both accelerator and brake pedals at the same time can
trigger logic for engine power
reduction to assure vehicle decel
eration. Vehicle acceleration willresume after the brake pedal is
released. • When driving in Manual shift mode\b
slow down before shifting to a
lower gear. Otherwise\b the lower
gear may not be engaged if the
engine rpms are outside of the
allowable range.
• Always apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle. Do not
depend on placing the transmis
sion in P (Park) to keep the vehicle
from moving.
• Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be
especially careful when braking\b
accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface\b an abrupt change
in vehicle speed can cause the
drive wheels to lose traction and
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident
• Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing and releasing the
accelerator.
