of the switches to warm the driver's seat
or front passenger's seat.
During mild weather or under conditions
where the operation of the seat warmer
is not needed, keep the switches in the
OFF position.
NOTICE
The seat warmers can cause a
SERIOUS BURN, even at low tem-
peratures and especially if used for
long periods of time.
Passengers must be able to feel if
the seat is becoming too warm so
they can turn it off, if needed.
People who cannot detect tempera-
ture change or pain to the skin
should use extreme caution, espe-
cially the following types of pas-
sengers:
Infants, children, elderly or dis-
abled persons, or hospital outpa-
tients.
People with sensitive skin or who
burn easily.
Fatigued individuals.
Intoxicated individuals.
People taking medication that
can cause drowsiness or sleepi-
ness.
WARNING
NEVER place anything on the seat
that insulates against heat when
the seat warmer is in operation,
such as a blanket or seat cushion.
This may cause the seat warmer to
overheat, causing a burn or dam-
age to the seat.

This vehicle is equipped with an
Advanced Supplemental Air Bag System
for the driver's seat and front passenger's
seats.
The front air bags are designed to sup-
plement the three-point seat belts. For
these air bags to provide protection, the
seat belts must be worn at all times when
driving.
You can be severely injured or killed in an
accident if you are not wearing a seat
belt. Air bags are designed to supple-
ment seat belts, but do not replace them.
Also, air bags are not designed to deploy
in every collision. In some accidents, the
seat belts are the only restraint protect-
ing you.AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ALWAYS use seat belts and child restraints - every trip, every time, everyone!
Even with air bags, you can be seriously injured or killed in a collision if you
are improperly belted or not wearing your seat belt when the air bag inflates.
NEVER place a child in any child restraint or booster seat in the front pas-
senger seat. An inflating air bag could forcefully strike the infant or child
causing serious or fatal injuries.
ABC - Always Buckle Children under age 13 in the back seat. It is the safest
place for children of any age to ride. If a child age 13 or older 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.
All occupants should sit upright with the seatback in an upright position, cen-
tered on the seat cushion with their seat belt on, legs comfortably extended
and their feet on the floor until the vehicle is parked and the engine is turned
off. If an occupant is out of position during an accident, the rapidly deploying
air bag may forcefully contact the occupant causing serious or fatal injuries.
You and your passengers should never sit or lean unnecessarily close to the
air bags or lean against the door or center console.
Move your seat as far back as possible from front air bags, while still main-
taining control of the vehicle. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) recommends that drivers allow at least 10 inches (25
cm) between the center of the steering wheel and the chest.WARNING

12. Emergency Fastening DeviceSystem
13. Occupant classification system
The SRSCM (Supplemental Restraint
System Control Module) continually
monitors all SRS components while the
ignition switch is in the ON position to
determine if a crash impact is severe
enough to require air bag deployment or
pre-tensioner seat belt deployment.
SRS warning light
The SRS (Supplement Restraint System)
air bag warning light on the instrument
panel displays the air bag symbol depict-
ed in the illustration. The system checks
the air bag electrical system for malfunc-
tions. The light indicates that there is a
potential malfunction with your air bag
system, which could include your side
and curtain air bags used for rollover pro-
tection. During a frontal collision, sensors will
detect the vehicle's deceleration. If the
rate of deceleration is high enough, the
control unit will inflate the front air bags.
The front air bags help protect the driver
and front passenger by responding to
frontal impacts in which seat belts alone
cannot provide adequate restraint. When
needed, the side air bags help provide
protection in the event of a side impact or
rollover.
Air bags are activated (able to inflate if
necessary) only when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
Air bags inflate in the event of certain frontal or side collisions to help protect
the occupants from serious physical
injury.
Generally, air bags are designed to inflate based upon the severity of a col-
lision, its direction, etc. These two fac-
tors determine whether the sensors
produce an electronic deployment/
inflation signal.
If your SRS malfunctions, the air
bag may not inflate properly during
an accident increasing the risk of
serious injury or death.
If any of the following conditions
occur, your SRS is malfunctioning:
The light does not turn on for
approximately six seconds when
the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
The light stays on after illuminat-
ing for approximately six sec-
onds.
The light comes on while the
vehicle is in motion.
The light blinks when the engine
is running.
Have an authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er inspect the SRS as soon as pos-
sible if any of these conditions
occur.

Proper seated position for OCS
If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indi-
cator is on when an adult is seated in the
front passenger seat, place the ignition
switch in the LOCK/OFF position and
ask the passenger to sit properly (sitting
upright with the seat back in an upright
position, centered on the seat cushion
with their seat belt on, legs comfortably
extended and their feet on the floor).
Restart the engine and have the person
remain in that position. This will allow the
system to detect the person and to
enable the passenger air bag. If the
"PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator
is still on, ask the passenger to move to
the rear seat.The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator illuminates for approximate-
ly 4 seconds after the ignition switch
is in the ON position or after the
engine is started. If the front passen-
ger seat is occupied, the OCS will
then classify the front passenger after
several more seconds.
Do Not Install a Child Restraint
in the Front Passenger's Seat
Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the OCS, never install a child
restraint in the front passenger's seat. An
inflating air bag can forcefully strike a
child or child restraint resulting in serious
or fatal injury.
NOTICE
B990A01O
Never allow an adult passenger to
ride in the front passenger seat
when the "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicator is illuminated.
During a collision, the air bag will
not inflate if the indicator is illumi-
nated. Have your passenger reposi-
tion himself in the seat. If the "PAS-
SENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator
remains illuminated after the pas-
senger repositions himself proper-
ly and the vehicle is restarted, have
the passenger move to the rear
seat because the air bag will not
inflate.

Additional Safety Precautions
Passengers should not move out of or
change seats while the vehicle is mov-
ing.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 occu-
pant 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 inter-
fere with the operation of the supplemen-
tal 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 sens-
ing components and wiring harnesses.
Do not cause impact to the doors.
Impact to the doors when the Engine
Start/Stop button is in the ON position
may cause the air bags to inflate. Modifications to accommodate dis-
abilities.
If you require modification to
your vehicle to accommodate a disability,
contact the HYUNDAI Customer
Connect Center at 1-877-378-8727.
Adding equipment to or modify- ing 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.
(Continued)
If components of the air bag sys-
tem must be discarded, or if the
vehicle must be scrapped, certain
safety precautions must be
observed. Consult an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer for the neces-
sary information. Failure to follow
these precautions could increase
the risk of personal injury.
