cle occupants are seated properly
and wearing the seat belt properly for
the most effective protection by the

These include:
Failing to sit in an upright position.
Leaning against the door or center
console.
Sitting towards the sides of the
front of the seat.
Putting their legs on the dashboard
or resting them on other locations
which reduce the passenger
weight on the front seat.
Wearing the seat belt improperly.
Reclining the seatback.
Wearing a thick cloth like ski wear
or hip protection wear.
Putting an additional thick cushion
on the seat.
Putting electrical devices (e.g.
notebook, satellite radio) on the
seat with inverter charging.Condition and operation in the front passenger Occupant Classification System

Do not sit on the passen-
ger seat wearing heavily
padded clothes such as
ski wear and hip protector.
Do not use car seat
accessories such as thick
blankets and cushions
which cover up the car
seat surface.
Do not place electronic
devices such as laptops,
DVD player, or conductive
materials such as water
bottles on the passenger
seat.
Do not use electronic
devices such as laptops
and satellite radios which
use inverter chargers.
If large quantity of liquid
has been spilled on the
passenger seat, the air
bag warning light may
illuminate or malfunction.
Therefore, make sure the
seat has been completely
dried before driving the
vehicle.
Do not place sharp objects on the front passenger seat. These may damage the occupant detection sys-
tem, if they puncture the seat cushion.
Do not place any items under the front passenger seat.
When changing or replacing the seat or seat cover, use original items only. The OCS has been devel-
oped based on using original HYUNDAI car seats only. Altering or changing the authentic parts may
result in system malfunction and increase risk of injury when in collision. Any of the above could inter-
fere with the proper operation of the OCS sensor thereby increasing the risk of an injury in an accident.

Safety system of your vehicle
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 colli-
sion energy is absorbed by the vehi-
cle 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 illumi-
nate when the POWER button is in
the ON position, or continuously
remains on, have your vehicle imme-
diately inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
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 must be performed by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Improper handling of the SRS system
may result in serious personal injury.
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death, take the follow-
ing precautions:
Do not attempt to modify or
disconnect the SRS compo-
nents or wiring, including the
addition of any kind of badges
to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure.
WARNING
OOSEV038024
Do not place objects over or
near the air bag modules on
the steering wheel, instrument
panel, or the front passen-
ger’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 sys-
tem.
Always have inflated air bags
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 precau-
tions could increase the risk of
personal injury.

sound and the hazard warning lights
will blink continuously if any of the
following occur:

hood, the liftgate and the doors are
all fully closed.

Electric Power Steering (EPS)
The system assists you with steering
the vehicle. If the vehicle is turned off
or if the power steering system
becomes inoperative, you may still
steer the vehicle, but it will require
increased steering effort.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the system
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
If the Electric Power Steering
System does not operate nor-
mally, the warning light ( ) will
illuminate on the instrument
cluster. You may steer the vehi-
cle, but it will require increased
steering efforts. Take your vehi-
cle to an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer and have the system
checked as soon as possible. If a malfunction is detected in
the electric power steering
(EPS) system, the power steer-
ing assist will be disabled. If this
occurs, the EPS warning light in
the cluster will either turn on or
blink. The steering effort when
turning may be increased. Have
your vehicle checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as
soon as possible.
Information
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
• The steering effort may be high
immediately after placing the igni-
tion switch in the ON position.
This happens as the system per-
forms the EPS system diagnostics.
When the diagnostics are completed,
the steering wheel effort will return
to its normal condition.
• When the battery voltage is low, you
might have to put more steering
effort. However, it is a temporary
condition so that it will return to nor-
mal condition after charging the bat-
tery.• A click noise may be heard from the
EPS relay after the POWER button
is in the ON or OFF position.
• Motor noise may be heard when the
vehicle is at a stop or at a low driv-
ing speed.
• When you operate the steering
wheel in low temperatures, you
may hear a noise from the electric
power steering system. If the tem-
perature rises, the noise will disap-
pear. This is a normal condition.

Tilt Steering / Telescopic
Steering
When adjusting the steering wheel to
a comfortable position, adjust the
steering wheel so that 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 adjust the steering wheel angle
and height:
1. Pull down the lock-release lever (1).
2. Adjust the steering wheel to the
desired angle (2) and distance for-
ward/back (3).
3. Pull up the lock-release lever to
lock the steering wheel in place.
Information
Sometimes the lock release lever may
not engage completely. This may occur
when the gears of the locking mecha-
nism do not completely mesh. If this
occurs, pull down on the lock-release
lever, readjust the steering wheel again,
and then pull back up on the release
lever to lock the steering wheel in place.
i
NEVER adjust the steering
wheel while driving. This may
cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
WARNING
OOS047006
While adjusting the steering
wheel height, please do not
push or pull it hard since the fix-
ture can be damaged.
