Proper seated position for OCS
If the “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF”
indicator is on when an adult is seated
in the front passenger seat, place the
Engine Start/Stop button in the OFF
position and ask the passenger to sit
properly (sitting upright with the seat
back in an upright position, centered
on the seat cushion with their seat belt
on, legs comfortably extended and their
feet on the floor). Restart the engine and
have the person remain in that position.
This will allow the system to detect the
person and to enable the passenger air
bag. If the “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF”
indicator is still on, ask the passenger to
move to the rear seat.
WARNING
NEVER allow an adult passenger to ride
in the front passenger seat when the
“PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indicator
is illuminated. During a collision, the
air bag will not inflate if the indicator
is illuminated. Have your passenger
reposition themselves in the seat. If the
“PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indicator
remains illuminated after the passenger
repositions themselves properly
and the vehicle is restarted, have
the passenger move to the rear seat
because the air bag will not inflate.
NOTICE
The “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF”
indicator generally illuminates for
approximately 4 seconds after the
Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON
or START position. But, if the Engine
START/STOP button is pressed to the
ON or START position within 3 minutes
after the engine is turned OFF, the
indicator does not illuminate. If the
front passenger seat is occupied,
the OCS will then classify the front
passenger after several more seconds.

Do not install a Child Restraint
System on the Front Passenger’s
Seat
OHI039193N
Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the OCS, never install a child
restraint in the front passenger’s seat.
An inflating air bag can forcefully strike a
child or child restraint resulting in serious
or fatal injury.
WARNING
NEVER use a rearward facing Child
Restraint on a seat protected by an
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH
or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can
occur.
Why didn’t my air bag go off in a
collision?
There are certain types of accidents in
which the air bag would not be expected
to provide additional protection. These
include rear impacts, second or third
collisions in multiple impact accidents,
as well as low speed impacts. Damage to
the vehicle indicates a collision energy
absorption, and is not an indicator of
whether or not an air bag should have
inflated. Air bag collision sensors
WARNING
To reduce the risk of an air bag
deploying unexpectedly and causing
serious injury or death: • Do not hit or allow any objects to
impact the locations where air bags
or sensors are installed.
• Do not perform maintenance on or
around the air bag sensors. If the
location or angle of the sensors is
altered, the air bags may deploy
when they should not or may not
deploy when they should.
• Installing bumper guards with non-
genuine Hyundai or non-equivalent
parts may adversely affect the
collision and airbag deployment
performance.
• Press the Engine Start/Stop button to
the OFF or ACC position and wait for
3 minutes when the vehicle is being
towed to prevent inadvertent air bag
deployment.
• We recommend that all air bag
repairs are conducted by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

air bag system we recommend to
replace the bumper with genuine
Hyundai part or the equivalent (of
the genuine part) specified for your
vehicle.
• Place the START/STOP button to the
LOCK/OFF or ACC position, when the
vehicle is being towed to prevent
inadvertent air bag deployment.
• We recommend that all air bag
repairs are conducted by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

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 START/STOP button is in the ON
position, or continuously remains on,
we recommend that the system be
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 START/
STOP button is in the ON position may
cause the air bags to inflate.
Modifications to accommodate disabilities. If you are considering
modification of your vehicle due to a
disability, please contact the HYUNDAI
Customer Center at 1-888-216-2626.
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
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
(CMVSS), are attached to alert the driver

per hour (km/h).
Power/Charge gauge
OOSEV040474L
The Power/Charge gauge shows the
energy consumption rate of the vehicle
and the charge/discharge status of the
regenerative brakes. • POWER :
It shows the energy consumption rate
of the vehicle when driving uphill or
accelerating. The more electric energy is
used, the higher the gauge level. • CHARGE :
It shows the charging status of the
battery when it is being charged by the
regenerative brakes (decelerating or
driving on a downhill road). The more
electric energy is charged, the lower the
gauge level.

State of Charge (SOC) gauge for high
voltage battery
OOSEV040475L
The SOC gauge shows the charging
status of the high voltage battery.
"L (Low)" position on the indicator
indicates that there is not enough energy
in the high voltage battery. "H (High)"
position indicates that the driving battery
is fully charged.
When driving on highways or motorways,
make sure to check in advance if the
driving battery is charged enough.
When there are 2 gauge bars (near the
“L (Low)" area) on the SOC gauge, the
warning light (
) turns ON to alert
you of the battery level.
When the warning light (
) turns
ON, the vehicle can drive an additional
20~30 km (12~18 miles) depending on
the driving speed, heater/air conditioner,
weather, driving style, and other factors.
Charging is required.
NOTICE
When there are 1-2 gauge bars left for
the high voltage battery, the vehicle
speed is limited and then eventually the
vehicle will turn OFF. Charge the vehicle
immediately. Outside Temperature Gauge
OOSEV040484L
This gauge indicates the current outside
air temperatures either in Celsius (°C) or
Fahrenheit.
- Temperature range : -40°C ~ 60°C (-40°F ~ 140°F)
The outside temperature on the display
may not immediately change like a
general thermometer not to distract the
