Side and curtain air bags
Side and cur tain air bags are
designed to inflate when an impact is
detected by side collision sensors
depending on the severity, speed or
angles of impact resulting from a
side impact collision. Although the driver’s and front pas
senger’s air bags are designed to
inflate in frontal collisions, they also
may inflate in other types of colli
sions if the front impact sensors
detect a sufficient impact. Side and
curtain air bags are designed to
inflate in side impact collisions, but
they may inflate in other collisions if
the side impact sensors detect a suf
ficient impact.
Also, the side and curtain air bags are
designed to inflate when a rollover is
detected by a rollover sensor. (if
equipped with rollover sensor)
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 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.

Additional safety precautions
•
Never let passengers ride in the
cargo area or on top of a folded
down back seat. All o ccupants
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 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. •
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.

Driving your vehicle
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH, take the fol
lowing precautions:
•ALWAYS wear your seat belt.
All passengers must be properly
belted whenever the vehicle is
moving. For more information,
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, perceptions and judg
ment. Just one drink can reduce
your ability to respond to changing
conditions and emergencies and
your reaction 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, 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

5-22
Driving your vehicle
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
•ALWAYS wear your seatbelt. In
a collision, 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, such as
sharp lane changes or fast,
sharp turns.
•The risk of rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control of
your 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, do not steer
sharply. Instead, slow down
before pulling back into the trav
el lanes.
•HYUNDAI recommends you fol
low all posted speed limits.
WARNING

•When driving in Sports Mode, slow
down before shifting to a lower
gear. Otherwise, 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,
accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, 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.

Highway driving
Tires
Adjust the tire inflation, as specified.
Underinflation may overheat or
damage the tires.
Do not install wornout or damaged
tires, which may reduce traction or
fail the braking operation.
Information
Never overinflate your tires above the
maximum inflation pressure, as speci
fied on your tires.
Fuel, engine coolant and engine
oil
Driving at higher speeds on the high
way consumes more fuel and is less
efficient than driving at a slower,
more moderate speed. Maintain a
moderate speed in order to conserve
fuel when driving on the highway.
Be sure to check both the engine
coolant level and the engine oil
before driving.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may
overheat the engine.
