HYUNDAI KONA 2022 Owners Manual

Seats & Safety System
3-60
OOS037055
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 “underride” situation
because deceleration forces that are
detected by sensors may be significantly
reduced by such “underride” collisions.
OTL035068
Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because front air bag
deployment would not provide additional
occupant protection.
However, the side and curtain air bags
and front center air bag may inflate in a
rollover situation, when it is detected by
the rollover sensor.
OOS030054L
Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility poles
or trees, where the point of impact is
concentrated and the collision energy is
absorbed by the vehicle structure.

SRS care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free
and there are no parts you can safely
service by yourself. If the SRS air bag
warning light does not illuminate when
the Engine Start/Stop button is in the
ON position, or continuously remains on,
have the system immediately inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
We recommend any work on the SRS
system, such as removing, installing,
repairing, or any work on the steering
wheel, the front passenger’s panel, front
seats and roof rails be performed by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer. Improper
handling of the SRS system may result in
serious personal injury.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death take the following precautions:
Do not attempt to modify or
disconnect the SRS components or
wiring, including the addition of any
kind of badges to the pad covers or
modifications to the body structure.
Do not place objects over or near
the air bag modules on the steering
wheel, instrument panel, and the
front passenger’s panel above the
glove box.
Clean the air bag pad covers with
a soft cloth moistened with plain
water. Solvents or cleaners could
adversely affect the air bag covers
and proper deployment of the
system.
We recommend that inflated air
bags be replaced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
If components of the air bag system
must be discarded, or if the vehicle
must be scrapped, certain safety
precautions must be observed.
Consult an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer for the necessary information.
Failure to follow these precautions
could increase the risk of personal
injury.

Additional safety precautions
Passengers should not move out of
or change seats while the vehicle 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
be ejected from the vehicle.
Do not use any accessories on seat
belts. Devices claiming to improve
occupant 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
interfere with the operation of the
supplemental 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 sensing
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 or START
position may cause the air bags to
inflate.
Modifications to accommodate
disabilities. If you require modification
to your vehicle to accommodate
a disability, contact the HYUNDAI
Customer Connect Center at 800-633-
5151.
Adding equipment to or modifying
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.
Air bag warning labels
OAD035053N
Air bag warning labels, required by the
U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA), are attached
to alert the driver and passengers of
potential risks of the air bag system. Be
sure to read all of the information about
the air bags that are installed on your
vehicle in this Owners Manual.

Instrument cluster control
Instrument panel illumination
OOS040120
When the vehicle's position lights or
headlights are on, press the illumination
control button to adjust the brightness of
the instrument panel illumination.
When pressing the illumination control
button, the interior switch illumination
intensity is also adjusted.
WARNING
Never adjust the instrument cluster
while driving. This could result in loss
of control and lead to an accident that
may cause death, serious injury, or
vehicle damage.
OCN7040019L
The brightness of the instrument
panel illumination is displayed.
If the brightness reaches to the
maximum or minimum level, a chime
will sound.
Gauges and meters
Speedometer
Type AType B
OOS047103NOCN7040005L
The speedometer indicates the speed of
the vehicle and is calibrated in miles per
hour (MPH) and/or kilometers per hour
(km/h).
Tachometer
Type AType B
OOS047104LOCN7040007
The tachometer indicates the
approximate number of engine
revolutions per minute (rpm).
Use the tachometer to select the correct
shift points and to prevent lugging and/
or over-revving the engine.
NOTICE
Do not operate the engine within the
tachometer's RED ZONE. This may
cause severe engine damage.

Instrument cluster

Engine coolant temperature gauge
Type AType B
OOS047106OCN7040009
This gauge indicates the temperature
of the engine coolant when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
NOTICE
If the gauge pointer moves beyond
the normal range area toward the
“H (Hot) or 130” position, it indicates
overheating that may damage the
engine.
Do not continue driving with an
overheated engine. If your vehicle
overheats, refer to “If the Engine
Overheats” section in chapter 8.
WARNING
Never remove the engine coolant
reservoir cap when the engine is hot.
The engine coolant is under pressure
and could cause severe burn. Wait until
the engine is cool before adding coolant
to the reservoir.
Fuel gauge
Type AType B
OOS047107OCN7040011
This gauge indicates the approximate
amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank.

Information
WARNING
Running out of fuel can expose vehicle
occupants to danger.
You must stop and obtain additional
fuel as soon as possible after the
warning light comes on or when the
gauge indicator comes close to the “E
(Empty) or 0” level.
NOTICE
Avoid driving with an extremely low
fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire damaging
the catalytic converter.
Outside temperature gauge
Type AType B
OOS040003NOTMA040008
This gauge indicates the current outside
air temperatures by 1°F (1°C).
Note that the temperature indicated
on the LCD display may not change
as quickly as the outside temperature
(there may be a slight delay before the
temperature changes.)
The temperature unit (from °C to °F or
from °F to °C) can be changed by:
- User Settings mode in the Cluster :
You can change the temperature unit
in the “Other Features - Temperature
unit” .
- Automatic climate control system :
While pressing the OFF button, press
the AUTO button for 3 seconds or
more.
The temperature unit of the instrument
cluster and climate control system will
change at once.
