FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Petrol engine
Unleaded
Your new vehicle is designed to use only 
unleaded fuel having an Octane Rating 
of RON (Research Octane Number) 91 / 
AKI (Anti-Knock Index) 87 or higher. (Do 
not use methanol blended fuels)
Your new vehicle is designed to obtain 
maximum performance with UNLEADED 
FUEL, as well as minimize exhaust 
emissions and spark plug fouling.
 CAUTION
NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The use 
of leaded fuel is detrimental to the 
catalytic converter and will damage the 
engine control system’s oxygen sensor 
and affect emission control.
Never add any fuel system cleaning 
agents to the fuel tank other than what 
has been specified (We recommend 
that you consult an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer for details.)
 WARNING
•  Do not “top off” after the nozzle 
automatically shuts off when 
refueling.
•  Always check that the fuel cap is 
installed securely to prevent fuel 
spillage in the event of an accident.

NOTICE
The sensor that activates the SRS 
control module is connected with the 
pre–tensioner seat belts. The SRS air 
bag warning light on the instrument 
cluster will illuminate for approximately 
6 seconds after the ignition switch is 
placed in the ON position, and then it 
should turn off. If the pre-tensioner is 
not working properly, the warning light 
will illuminate even if the SRS air bag is 
not malfunctioning. If the warning light 
does not illuminate,stays illuminated 
or illuminates when the vehicle is 
being driven, we recommend the pre-
tensioner seat belts and/or SRS control 
module be inspected by an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible. 
i Information
• Both the driver’s and front passenger’s 
pre-tensioner seat belts may be 
activated in certain frontal or side 
collisions.
• When the pre-tensioner seat belts are 
activated, a loud noise may be heard 
and fine dust, which may appear to be 
smoke, may be visible in the passenger 
compartment. These are normal 
operating conditions and are not 
hazardous.
• Although it is non-toxic, the fine dust 
may cause skin irritation and should 
not be inhaled for prolonged periods. 
Wash all exposed skin areas thoroughly 
after an accident in which the pre-
tensioner seat belts were activated.
Additional seat belt safety 
precautions 
Seat belt use during pregnancy 
The seat belt should always be used 
during pregnancy. The best way to 
protect your unborn child is to protect 
yourself by always wearing the seat 
belt. Pregnant women should always 
wear a lap-shoulder seat belt. Place the 
shoulder belt across your chest, routed 
between your breasts and away from 
your neck. Place the lap belt below your 
belly so that it fits SNUGLY across your 
hips and pelvic bone, under the rounded 
part of the belly.
 WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or 
death to an unborn child during an 
accident, pregnant women should 
NEVER place the lap portion of the 
seat belt above or over the area of the 
abdomen where the unborn child is 
located. 
Seat belt use and children 
Infant and small children 
Most countries have Child Restraint 
System laws which require children 
to travel in approved Child Restraint 
System devices, including booster seats.
The age 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. Infant and Child Restraint 
System must be properly placed and 
installed in a rear seat. For more details 
refer to the “Child Restraint Systems”in 
this chapter.

Safety system
 WARNING
•  Even in vehicles with air bags, you 
and your passengers must always 
wear the safety belts provided 
in order to minimize the risk and 
severity of injury in the event of a 
collision or rollover.
•  SRS and pretensioners contain 
explosive chemicals. 
  If scraping a vehicle without 
removing SRS and pretensioners 
from a vehicle, it may cause fire. 
Before scraping a vehicle, we 
recommend that you contact an 
authorized Hyundai dealer.
•  Keep the SRS parts and wirings away 
from water or any liquid. If the SRS 
components are inoperative due to 
exposure to water or liquids, it may 
cause fire or severe injury.
How does the air bag system 
operate 
•  Air bags are activated (able to inflate 
if necessary) only when the ignition 
switch is placed to the ON or START 
position.
•  Air bags inflate instantly in the event 
of serious frontal or side collision in 
order to help protect the occupants 
from serious physical injury. 
•  There is no single speed at which the 
air bags will inflate. 
  Generally, air bags are designed to 
inflate based upon the severity of a 
collision and its direction. These two 
factors determine whether the sensors 
produce an electronic deployment/ 
inflation signal.
•  Air bag  deployment depends on a 
number of factors including vehicle 
speed, angles of impact and the 
density and stiffness of the vehicles or 
objects which your vehicle hits in the 
collision. The determining, factors are 
not limited to those mentioned above.
•  The front air bags will completely 
inflate and deflate in an instant. 
  It is virtually impossible for you to see 
the air bags inflate during an accident. 
  It is much more likely that you 
will simply see the deflated air 
bags hanging out of their storage 
compartments after the collision.

SRS components and functions
OBI3030006OBI3030006
The SRS consists of the following 
components:
(1) Driver’s front air bag module
(2) Passenger’s front air bag module
(3) Pre-tensioner seatbelt system*
(4) Air bag warning light
(5) SRS control module (SRSCM)
(6) Front impact Sensor
(7) Side air bag modules*
(8) Curtain air bag modules *
(9) Side impact sensors *
* : if equippedThe SRSCM continuously monitors all 
SRS components while the ignition 
switch is ON to determine if a crash 
impact is severe enough to require air 
bag deployment or pre-tensioner seat 
belt deployment.
The SRS air bag warning light on the 
instrument panel will illuminate for 
about 6 seconds after the ignition switch 
is turned to the ON position, after which 
the air bag warning light should go out. WARNING
If any of the following conditions 
occurs, this indicates a malfunction 
of the SRS. We recommend that the 
system be inspected by an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer.
•  The light does not turn on briefly 
when you turn the ignition ON.
•  The light stays on after illuminating 
for approximately 6 seconds.
•  The light comes on while the vehicle 
is in motion.
•  The light blinks when the ignition 
switch is in ON position.

Safety system
•  Do not place any objects over the 
air bag or between the air bag and 
yourself. Also, do not attach any 
objects around the area the air bag 
inflates such as the door, side door 
glass, front and rear pillar. 
•  Do not place any objects between the 
door and the seat. They may become 
dangerous projectiles if the side air 
bag inflates.
•  Do not put any objects between the 
side air bag label and seat cushion. It 
could cause harm if the vehicle is in a 
crash severe enough to cause the air 
bags to deploy.
•  To prevent unexpected deployment 
of the side air bag that may result in 
personal injury, avoid impact to the 
side impact sensor when the ignition 
switch is on.
•  If the seat or seat cover is damaged, 
we recommend that the system be 
serviced by an authorized HYUNDAI 
dealer.
•  Inform the dealer that your vehicle is 
equipped with side air bags.Curtain air bag (if equipped)
OQXI039024OQXI039024
OQXI039025OQXI039025
The actual air bags in the vehicle may differ 
from the illustration.
Curtain air bags are located along both 
sides of the roof rails above the front 
and rear doors. 
They are designed to help protect the 
heads of the front seat occupants and 
the rear outboard seat occupants in 
certain side impact collisions.
The curtain air bags are designed to 
deploy only during certain side impact 
collisions, depending on the crash 
severity, angle, speed and impact. The 
curtain air bags are not designed to 
deploy in all side impact situations, 
collisions from the front or rear of the 
vehicle or in most rollover situations.

 WARNING
•  Do not hit or allow any objects to 
impact the locations where air bags 
or sensors are installed. 
  This may cause unexpected air bag 
deployment, which could result in 
serious personal injury or death.
•  If the installation location or angle 
of the sensors is altered in any way, 
the air bags may deploy when they 
should not or they may not deploy 
when they should, causing severe 
injury or death.  
  Therefore, do not try to perform 
maintenance on or around the air 
bag sensors. We recommend that the 
system be serviced by an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer.
•  Problems may arise if the sensor 
installation angles are changed 
due to the deformation of the front 
bumper and body. We recommend 
that the system be serviced by an 
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
•  Your vehicle has been designed to 
absorb impact and deploy the air 
bag(s) in certain collisions.  Installing 
aftermarket bumper guards or 
replacing a bumper with non-
genuine parts may adversely affect 
your vehicles collision and air bag 
deployment performance.
Air bag inflation conditions
OBC3030027OBC3030027
Front air bags 
Front air bags are designed to inflate in 
certain frontal collision depending on 
the crash severity, speed or angles of 
impact of the front collision.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by 
bumps or objects on unimproved roads 
or sidewalks, air bags may deploy. 
Drive carefully on unimproved roads 
or on surfaces not designed for vehicle 
traffic to prevent unintended air bag 
deployment.

Side air bags (if equipped)
Side air bags (side impact and/or curtain 
air bags) are designed to inflate when 
an impact is detected by side collision 
sensors depending on the crash severity, 
speed or angles of impact resulting from 
a side impact collision.
Although the front air bags (driver’s and 
front passenger’s air bags) are designed 
to inflate only in frontal collisions, 
they also may inflate in other types of 
collisions if the front impact sensor 
detect a sufficient impact. Side air bags 
(side  impact and/or curtain air bags) are 
designed to inflate only in side impact 
collisions, but they may inflate in other 
collisions if the side impact sensors 
detect a sufficient impact.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by 
bumps or objects on unimproved roads 
or sidewalks, 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 non-inflation conditions
OBC3030029OBC3030029
•  In certain low-speed 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 protection of the seat 
belts in such collisions.
OBC3030030OBC3030030
•  Front air bags are not designed to 
inflate in rear collisions, because 
occupants are moved backward by 
the force of the impact. In this case, 
inflated air bags would not be able to 
provide any additional benefit.  
Page 86 of 444

OBC3030028OBC3030028
•  Front air bags may not inflate in side 
impact collisions, because occupants 
move to the direction of the collision, 
and thus in side impacts, frontal air 
bag deployment would not provide 
additional occupant protection.
OGB034038OGB034038
•  In a slant or angled collision, the force 
of impact may direct the occupants in 
a direction where the air bags would 
not be able to provide any additional 
benefit, and thus the sensors may not 
deploy any air bags.
OBC3030032OBC3030032
•  Just before impact, drivers often brake 
heavily. Such heavy braking lowers the 
front portion of the vehicle causing 
it to “ride” under a vehicle with a 
higher ground clearance. Air bags 
may not inflate in this “under-ride” 
situation because deceleration forces 
that are detected by sensor may be 
significantly reduced by such “under-
ride” collisions.
OHI038166OHI038166
•  Air bags do not inflate in rollover 
accidents because vehicle can not 
detect rollover accident.
  However, side and/or curtain air bags 
may inflate when the vehicle is rolled 
over after side impact collision.
