IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
You will find many safety precautions
and recommendations throughout
this section, and throughout this man-
ual. The safety precautions in this
section are among the most impor-
tant.
Always wear your seat belt
A seat belt is your best protection in
all types of accidents. Air bags are
designed to supplement seat belts,
not replace them. So even though
your vehicle is equipped with air
bags, ALWAYS make sure you and
your passengers wear your seat
belts, and wear them properly.
Restrain all children
All children under age 13 should ride
in your vehicle properly restrained in
a rear seat, not the front seat. Infants
and small children should be
restrained in an appropriate child
restraint. Larger children should use
a booster seat with the lap/shoulder
belt until they can use the seat belt
properly without a booster seat.
Air bag hazards
Whilst air bags can save lives, they
can also cause serious or fatal inju-
ries to occupants who sit too close to
them, or who are not properly
restrained. Infants, young children,
and short adults are at the greatest
risk of being injured by an inflating air
bag. Follow all instructions and warn-
ings in this manual.
Driver distraction
Driver distraction presents a serious
and potentially deadly danger, espe-
cially for inexperienced drivers.
Safety should be the first concern
when behind the wheel and drivers
need to be aware of the wide array of
potential distractions, such as drowsi-
ness, reaching for objects, eating,
personal grooming, other passen-
gers, and using mobile phones.
Drivers can become distracted when
they take their eyes and attention off
the road or their hands off the wheel
to focus on activities other than driv-
ing. To reduce your risk of distraction
and an accident:
‡ ALWAYS set up your mobile devic-
es (i.e., MP3 players, phones, navi-
gation units, etc.) when your vehicle
is parked or safely stopped.
‡ ONLY use your mobile device when
allowed by laws and conditions per-
mit safe use.
‡
NEVER text or email whilst driving.
Most countries have laws prohibit-
ing drivers from texting. Some
countries and cities also prohibit
drivers from using handheld
phones.
‡ NEVER let the use of a mobile
device distract you from driving.
You have a responsibility to your
passengers and others on the road
to always drive safely, with your
hands on the wheel as well as your
eyes and attention on the road.

Safety system
Seat belts
Always fasten your seat belt before
starting any trip.
At all times, passengers should sit
upright and be properly restrained.
Infants and small children must be
restrained in appropriate child
restraint systems. Children who have
outgrown a booster seat and adults
must be restrained using the seat
belts.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when adjusting your seat belt:
‡ NEVER use one seat belt for
more than one occupant.
‡ Always position the seatback
upright with the lap portion of
the seat belt snug and low across
the hips.
‡ NEVER allow children or small
infants to ride in a passenger’s
lap.
‡ Do not route the seat belt across
your neck, across sharp edges,
or reroute the shoulder strap
away from your body.
‡ Do not allow the seat belt to
become caught or jammed.
Front seats
The front seat can be adjusted by
using the control lever or switches
located on the outside of the seat
cushion. Before driving, adjust the
seat to the proper position so that you
can easily control the steering wheel,
foot pedals and controls on the instru-
ment panel.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when adjusting your seat:
‡ NEVER attempt to adjust the seat
whilst the vehicle is moving. The
seat could respond with unex-
pected movement and may
cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
‡ Do not place anything under the
front seats. Loose objects in the
driver’s foot area could interfere
with the operation of the foot
pedals, causing an accident.
‡ Do not allow anything to inter-
fere with the normal position and
proper locking of the seatback.
‡ Do not place a cigarette lighter
on the floor or seat. When you
operate the seat, gas may exit
out of the lighter causing a fire.
‡ Use extreme caution when pick-
ing small objects trapped under
the seats or between the seat
and the centre console. Your
hands might be cut or injured by
the sharp edges of the seat
mechanism.

Removal and installation
To remove the head restraint :
1. Raise it as far as it can go.
2. Press the release button (1) whilst
pulling upward (2).
To reinstall the head restraint :
1. Put the head restraint poles (3) into
the holes whilst pressing the
release button (1).
2. Adjust the head restraint to the
appropriate height.
Seat warmers (if equipped)
Seat warmers are provided to warm
the seats during cold weather.
WARNING
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 temper-
ature 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.

Seat belt use and children
Infant and small children
Most countries have child restraint
laws which require children to travel
in approved child restraint devices,
including booster seats. The age at
which seat belts can be used instead
of child restraints differs among coun-
tries, so you should be aware of the
specific requirements in your country,
and where you are travelling. Infant
and child restraints must be properly
placed and installed in a rear seat.
For more details, refer to the “Child
Restraint Systems” in this chapter.
WARNING
ALWAYS properly restrain infants
and small children in a child restraint
appropriate for the child’s height
and weight.
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death to a child and other passen-
gers, NEVER hold a child in your lap
or arms when the vehicle is moving.
The violent forces created during an
accident will tear the child from your
arms and throw the child against the
interior of the vehicle.
Small children are best protected
from injury in an accident when prop-
erly restrained in the rear seat by a
child restraint system that meets the
requirements of the Safety Standards
of your country. Before buying any
child restraint system, make sure that
it has a label certifying that it meets
Safety Standard of your country. The
restraint must be appropriate for your
child’s height and weight. Check the
label on the child restraint for this
information. Refer to “Child Restraint
Systems” in this chapter.
Larger children
Children under age 13 and who are
too large for a booster seat must
always occupy the rear seat and use
the available lap/shoulder belts. A
seat belt should lie across the upper
thighs and be snug across the shoul-
der and chest to restrain the child
safely. Check belt fit periodically. A
child’s squirming could put the belt
out of position. Children are afforded
the most safety in the event of an
accident when they are restrained by
a proper restraint system and/or seat
belts in the rear seat.
If a larger child over age 13 must be
seated in the front seat, the child
must be securely restrained by the
available lap/shoulder belt and the
seat should be placed in the rearmost
position.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches the child’s neck or face, try
placing the child closer to the centre
of the vehicle. If the shoulder belt still
touches their face or neck, they need
to be returned to an appropriate
booster seat in the rear seat.
WARNING
‡ Always make sure larger chil-
dren’s seat belts are worn and
properly adjusted.
‡ NEVER allow the shoulder belt to
contact the child’s neck or face.
‡ Do not allow more than one child
to use a single seat belt.

Safety system
Seat belt use and injured people
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
Consult a physician for specific rec-
ommendations.
One person per belt
Two people (including children) should
never attempt to use a single seat belt.
This could increase the severity of
injuries in case of an accident.
Do not lie down
Sitting in a reclined position when the
vehicle is in motion can be danger-
ous. Even when buckled up, the pro-
tections of your restraint system (seat
belts and/or air bags) is greatly
reduced by reclining your seatback.
Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly.
During an accident, you could be
thrown into the seat belt, causing
neck or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,
the greater chance the passenger’s
hips will slide under the lap belt or the
passenger’s neck will strike the shoul-
der belt.
WARNING
‡ NEVER ride with a reclined seat-
back when the vehicle is moving.
‡ Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of seri-
ous or fatal injuries in the event
of a collision or sudden stop.
‡ Driver and passengers should
always sit well back in their
seats, properly belted, and with
the seatbacks upright.
Care of seat belts
Seat belt systems should never be
disassembled or modified. In addi-
tion, care should be taken to assure
that seat belts and belt hardware are
not damaged by seat hinges, doors
or other abuse.
Periodic inspection
All seat belts should be inspected
periodically for wear or damage of
any kind. Any damaged parts should
be replaced as soon as possible.
Keep belts clean and dry
Seat belts should be kept clean and
dry. If belts become dirty, they can be
cleaned by using a mild soap solution
and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong
detergents or abrasives should not
be used because they may damage
and weaken the fabric.
When to replace seat belts
The entire seat belt assembly or
assemblies should be replaced if the
vehicle has been involved in an acci-
dent. This should be done even if no
damage is visible. We recommend
that you consult a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM ãCRSä
Our recommendation:
Children always in the rear
WARNING
Always properly restrain children
in the rear seats of the vehicle,
unless the air bag on the front pas-
senger seat is deactivated.
Children of all ages are safer when
restrained in the rear seat. A child
riding in the front passenger seat
can be forcefully struck by an
inflating air bag resulting in
SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH.
Children under age 13 must always
ride in the rear seats and must always
be properly restrained to minimise
the risk of injury in an accident, sud-
den stop or sudden manoeuvre.
According to accident statistics, chil-
dren are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seats than in
the front seat. Children too large for a
Child Restraint System must use the
seat belts provided.
Most countries have Child Restraint
Systems which require children to
travel in approved Child Restraint
Systems. The laws governing the age
or height/weight restrictions at which
seat belts can be used instead of
Child Restraint System differs among
countries, so you should be aware of
the specific requirements in your
country, and where you are travelling.Child Restraint Systems must be
properly placed and installed in the
rear seat. You must use a commer-
cially available Child Restraint
System that meets the requirements
of the Safety Standards of your coun-
try.
Child Restraint Systems are general-
ly designed to be secured in a vehicle
seat by lap belt or the lap belt portion
of a lap/shoulder belt, or by a top-
tether and/or ISOFIX anchorage in
the rear seats of the vehicle.
Child Restraint System (CRS)
always in the rear
Infants and younger children must be
restrained in an appropriate rear-
ward-facing or forward-facing CRS
that has first been properly secured
to the rear seat of the vehicle. Read
and comply with the instructions for
installation and use provided by the
manufacturer of the Child Restraint
System.
WARNING
‡ Always follow the Child Restraint
System manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for installation and use.
‡ Always properly restrain your
child in the Child Restraint
System.
‡ Do not use an infant carrier or a
child safety seat that “hooks”
over a seatback, it may not pro-
vide adequate protection in an
accident.
‡ After an accident, we recom-
mend a HYUNDAI dealer check
the Child Restraint System, seat
belts, ISOFIX anchorages and
top-tether anchorages.
