Safety system
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.

Safety system
Additional safety precautions
Passengers should not move out of
or change seats whilst 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 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 components and wiring
harnesses.
Do not cause impact to the doors.
Impact to the doors when the ignition
switch is in the ON position may cause
the air bags to inflate.
Adding equipment to or modifying
your air bag 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 air bag system.
Air bag warning labels
(if equipped)
OAC3039035R
Air bag warning labels are attached to
alert the passengers of potential risks of
the air bag system.
Be sure to read all of the information
about the air bags that are installed on
your vehicle in this Owner’s Manual.

Trailer towing equipment
Towbars
OBC3060011
It's important to have the correct
towbar equipment. Crosswinds, large
trucks going by, and rough roads are a
few reasons why you’ll need the right
towbar. Here are some rules to follow:

[Do you have to make any holes in the
body of your vehicle when you install
a trailer towbar? If you do, then be
sure to seal the holes later when you
remove the towbar. If you don’t seal
them, carbon monoxide (CO) from
your exhaust can get into your vehicle,
as well as dirt and water.

[The bumpers on your vehicle are not
intended for towbars. Do not attach
rental towbars or other bumper-type
towbars to them. Use only a frame-
mounted towbar that does not attach
to the bumper.

[A HYUNDAI trailer towbar accessory
is available at a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
Safety chains
You should always attach chains
between your vehicle and your trailer.
Cross the safety chains under the
tongue of the trailer so that the tongue
will not drop to the road if it becomes
separated from the towbar. Instructions
about safety chains may be provided
by the towbar manufacturer or trailer
manufacturer. Follow the manufacturer’s
recommendation for attaching safety
chains. Always leave just enough slack
so you can turn with your trailer. And,
never allow safety chains to drag on the
ground.
Trailer brakes
If your trailer is equipped with a
braking system, make sure it conforms
your country’s regulations and that
it is properly installed and operating
correctly.
If your trailer weighs more than the
maximum trailer weight without trailer
brakes loaded, then it needs its own
brakes and they must be adequate. Be
sure to read and follow the instructions
for the trailer brakes so you’ll be able
to install, adjust and maintain them
properly. Be sure not to tap into your
vehicle's brake system.
WARNING
Do not use a trailer with its own brakes
unless you are absolutely certain that
you have properly set up the brake
system. This is not a task for amateurs.
Use an experienced, competent trailer
shop for this work.

CAUTION
Take the following precautions to
maintain optimal performance of the
detecting sensor:

[Never disassemble the detecting
sensor or sensor assembly, or apply
any impact on it.

[If the detecting sensors have been
replaced or repaired, we recommend
that you have your vehicle inspected
by a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

[Never install any accessories or
stickers on the front windscreen, or
tint the front windscreen.

[Pay extreme caution to keep the
front view camera dry.

[Never place any reflective objects
(i.e. white paper, mirror) over the
dashboard. Any light reflection
may prevent the function from
functioning properly.

[Do not apply license plate frame or
objects, such as a bumper sticker,
film or a bumper guard, near the
front radar cover.

[Always keep the front radar and
cover clean and free of dirt and
debris.
Use only a soft cloth to wash the
vehicle. Do not spray pressurized
water directly on the sensor or sensor
cover.
[If unnecessary force has been
applied to the radar or around the
radar, Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not properly operate
even though a warning message
does not appear on the cluster. We
recommend that the vehicle be
inspected by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.

[Use only genuine parts to repair or
replace a damaged front radar cover.
Do not apply paint to the front radar
cover.
