Safety system of your vehicle
A rear-facing child seat provides restraint
with the seating surface against the back
of the child. The harness system holds
the child in place, and in an accident,
acts to keep the child positioned in the
seat and reduce the stress to the neck
and spinal cord.
All children under age one must always
ride in a rear-facing infant child restraint.
Convertible and 3-in-1 child seats typical-
ly have higher height and weight limits for
the rear-facing position, allowing you to
keep your child rear-facing for a longer
period of time.Continue to use a rear-facing child seat
for as long as your child will fit within the
height and weight limits allowed by the
child seat manufacturer. It's the best way
to keep them safe. Once your child has
outgrown the rear-facing child restraint,
your child is ready for a forward-facing
child restraint with a harness.Forward-facing child restraints
A forward-facing child seat provides
restraint for the child's body with a har-
ness. Keep children in a forward-facing
child seat with a harness until they reach
the top height or weight limit allowed by
your child restraint’s manufacturer.
Once your child outgrows the forward-fac-
ing child restraint, your child is ready for a
booster seat.

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.

Tilt Steering/Telescope Steering
Adjust the steering wheel so it points
toward your chest, not toward your face.
Make sure you can see the instrument
cluster warning lights and gauges. After
adjusting, push the steering wheel both
up and down to be certain it is locked in
position. Always adjust the position of the
steering wheel before driving.To change the steering wheel angle and
height:
1. Pull down the lock-release lever (1).
2. Adjust the steering wheel to thedesired angle (2) and height (3).
3. Pull up the lock-release lever to lock the steering wheel in place.
Information
After adjustment, sometimes the lock
release lever may not lock the steering
wheel. It is not a malfunction. This occurs
when two gears are not engaged correctly.
In this case, adjust the steering wheel
again and then lock the steering wheel.
Horn
To sound the horn, press the area indi-
cated by the horn symbol on your steer-
ing wheel (see illustration). The horn will
operate only when this area is pressed.
Do not strike the horn severely to
operate it, or hit it with your fist. Do
not press on the horn with a sharp-
pointed object.
NOTICE
i
NEVER adjust the steering wheel
while driving. This may cause loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.

Driving your vehicle
Check the Parking Brake
Warning Light by placing
the ignition switch to the
ON position (do not start
the engine).
This light will be illuminat-
ed when the parking brake is applied with
the ignition switch in the START or ON
position.
Before driving, be sure the parking brake
is released and the Brake Warning Light
is OFF.
If the Parking Brake Warning Light
remains on after the parking brake is
released while engine is running, there
may be a malfunction in the brake sys-
tem. Immediate attention is necessary.
If at all possible, cease driving the vehi-
cle immediately. If that is not possible,
use extreme caution while operating the
vehicle and only continue to drive the
vehicle until you can reach a safe loca-
tion.Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
ABS is an electronic braking system that
helps prevent a braking skid. ABS allows
the driver to steer and brake at the same
time.
An Anti-Lock Braking System
(ABS) or an Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system will not pre-
vent accidents due to improper or
dangerous driving maneuvers.
Even though vehicle control is
improved during emergency brak-
ing, always maintain a safe dis-
tance between you and objects
ahead of you. Vehicle speeds
should always be reduced during
extreme road conditions. The brak-
ing distance for cars equipped with
ABS or ESC may be longer than for
those without these systems in the
following road conditions.
Drive your vehicle at reduced
speeds during the following condi-
tions:
Rough, gravel or snow-covered
roads.
On roads where the road surface
is pitted or has different surface
height.
Tire chains are installed on your
vehicle.
(Continued)
WARNING
(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.

such as a bumper sticker, a bumper
guard, a bike rack, etc.
- The rear bumper is damaged, or the sensor is out of the original default posi-
tion.
- The vehicle height gets lower or higher due to heavy loading in a trunk, abnor-
mal tire pressure, etc.
- The vehicle drives in inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow.

Maintenance
Tire Maintenance
In addition to proper inflation, correct
wheel alignment helps to decrease
tire wear. If you find a tire is worn
unevenly, have your dealer check the
wheel alignment.
When you have new tires installed,
make sure they are balanced. This
will increase vehicle ride comfort and
tire life. Additionally, a tire should
always be rebalanced if it is removed
from the wheel.
Tire Sidewall Labeling
This information identifies and
describes the fundamental charac-
teristics of the tire and also provides
the tire identification number (TIN)
for safety standard certification. The
TIN can be used to identify the tire in
case of a recall.
1. Manufacturer or brand name
Manufacturer or brand name is
shown.
2. Tire size designation
A tire’s sidewall is marked with a tire
size designation. You will need this
information when selecting replace-
ment tires for your car. The following
explains what the letters and num-
bers in the tire size designation
mean.Example tire size designation:
(These numbers are provided as an
example only; your tire size designa-
tor could vary depending on your
vehicle.)
205/55R16 91H
205 - Tire width in millimeters.
55 - Aspect ratio. The tire’s section
height as a percentage of its
width.
R - Tire construction code (Radial).
16 - Rim diameter in inches.
91 - Load Index, a numerical code associated with the maximum
load the tire can carry.
H - Speed Rating Symbol. See the speed rating chart in this section
for additional information.
