Pre-tensioner seat belt
Your vehicle is equipped with driver's
and front passenger's and rear pas-
sengers (if equipped) Pre-tensioner
Seat Belts (Retractor Pretensioner).
The purpose of the pre-tensioner is to
make sure the seat belts fit tightly
against the occupant's body in cer-
tain frontal or side collision(s). The
pre-tensioner seat belts may be acti-
vated in crashes where the frontal or
side collision(s) is severe enough,
together with the air bags.
When the vehicle stops suddenly, or
if the occupant tries to lean forward
too quickly, the seat belt retractor will
lock into position.In certain frontal collisions, the pre-
tensioner will activate and pull the
seat belt into tighter contact against
the occupant's body.
- Retractor Pretensioner
The purpose of the retractor pre-
tensioner is to make sure that the
shoulder belts fit in tightly against
the occupant's upper body in cer-
tain frontal or side collision(s).
If the system senses excessive tension
on the driver or passenger's seat belt
when the pre-tensioner system acti-
vates, the load limiter inside the retrac-
tor pre-tensioner will release some of
the pressure on the affected seat belt.
•Always wear your seat belt and
sit properly in your seat.
•Do not use the seat belt if it is
loose or twisted. A loose or
twisted seat belt will not pro-
tect you properly in an acci-
dent.
•Do not place anything near the
buckle. This may adversely
affect the buckle and cause it
to function improperly.
•Always replace your pre-ten-
sioners after activation or an
accident.
•NEVER inspect, service, repair
or replace the pre-tensioners
yourself. This must be done by
a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
•Do not hit the seat belt assem-
blies.
WARNING
OJS038071AU
The pre-tensioner will activate
not only in a frontal collision but
also in a side collision or
rollover, if the vehicle is
equipped with a side or curtain
air bag.
CAUTION

2-36
Safety system of your vehicle
The Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt System
consists mainly of the following com-
ponents. Their locations are shown in
the illustration above:(1) SRS air bag warning light
(2) Retractor pre-tensioner (front)
(3) SRS control module
(4) Retractor pre-tensioner (rear)
(if equipped)
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 illu-
minate even if the SRS air bag is not
malfunctioning. If the warning light
does not illuminate, stays illuminat-
ed or illuminates when the vehicle
is being driven, we recommend the
pre-tensioner seat belts and/or SRS
control module be inspected by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer as
soon as possible.
NOTICE
Do not touch the pre-tensioner
seat belt assemblies for several
minutes after they have been
activated. When the pre-ten-
sioner seat belt mechanism
deploys during a collision, the
pre-tensioner can become hot
and can burn you.
WARNING
Body work on the front area of
the vehicle may damage the
pre-tensioner seat belt system.
Therefore, we recommend the
system to be serviced by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

Your vehicle is equipped with a side air
bag in each front seat. The purpose of
the air bag is to provide the vehicle’s
driver and the front passenger with
additional protection than that offered
by the seat belt alone.
The side air bags are designed to
deploy during certain side impact col-
lisions, depending on the crash
severity, angle, speed and point of
impact.
The side air bags on both sides of the
vehicle are designed to deploy when a
rollover is detected by a rollover sen-
sor.
The side air bags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact or rollover
situations.•Do not allow passengers to
lean their heads or bodies onto
doors, put their arms on the
doors, stretch their arms out of
the window, or place objects
between the doors and seats.
•Hold the steering wheel at the 9
o’clock and 3 o’clock positions,
to minimise the risk of injuries
to your hands and arms.
•Do not use any accessory
seat covers. This could reduce
or prevent the effectiveness
of the system.
•Do not hang other objects
except clothes. In an accident
it may cause vehicle damage
or personal injury especially
when air bag is inflated.
•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.
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from an inflating
side air bag, take the following
precautions:
•Seat belts must be worn at all
times to help keep occupants
positioned properly.
WARNING
•Do not place any objects
between the door and the
seat. They may become dan-
gerous projectiles if the side
air bag inflates.
•Do not install any accessories
on the side or near the side air
bags.
•Do not cause impact to the
doors when the ignition switch
is in the ON position as this
may cause the side air bags to
inflate.
•If the seat or seat cover is
damaged, we recommend that
the system be serviced by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

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 ignition switch is in the
ON position, or continuously remains
on, we recommend that the system
be immediately inspected by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
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 a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Improper handling of the SRS system
may result in serious personal injury.
OTM038073
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
•Do not place objects over or
near the air bag modules on
the steering wheel, instrument
panel, and 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 system.
•We recommend that inflated
air bags be replaced by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
•If components of the air bag
system must be discarded, or
if the vehicle must be
scrapped, certain safety pre-
cautions must
be observed.
Consult a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer for the neces-
s
ary information. Failure to
follow these precautions
could increase the risk of per-
sonal injury.

The Smart Key can only be used to
start the engine and operate door
locks.
To unlock:
Open the glove box with the mechan-
ical key.
Immobiliser system
The immobiliser system protects
your vehicle from theft. If an improp-
erly coded key (or other device) is
used, the engine’s fuel system is dis-
abled.
When the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position, the immobiliser sys-
tem indicator should come on briefly,
then go off. If the indicator starts to
blink, the system does not recognise
the coding of the key.
Place the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF position, then place the
ignition switch to the ON position
again.
The system may not recognise your
key’s coding if another immobiliser
key or other metal object (i.e., key
chain) is near the key. The engine
may not start because the metal may
interrupt the transponder signal from
transmitting normally.
If the system repeatedly does not
recognise the coding of the key, it is
recommended that you contact your
HYUNDAI dealer.Do not attempt to alter this system or
add other devices to it. Electrical
problems could result that may make
your vehicle inoperable.
The transponder in your key is an
important part of the immobiliser
system. It is designed to give
years of trouble-free service, how-
ever you should avoid exposure to
moisture, static electricity and
rough handling. Immobiliser sys-
tem malfunction could occur.
NOTICE
In order to prevent theft of your
vehicle, do not leave spare keys
anywhere in your vehicle. Your
immobiliser password is a cus-
tomer unique password and
should be kept confidential.

Convenient features of your vehicle
• The refrigerant system should
only be serviced by trained and
certified technicians to insure
proper and safe operation.
• The refrigerant system should
be serviced in a well-ventilated
place.
• The air conditioning evaporator
(cooling coil) shall never be
repaired or replaced with one
removed from a used or sal-
vaged vehicle and new replace-
ment MAC evaporators shall be
certified (and labelled) as meet-
ing SAE Standard J2842.
• When using the air conditioning
system, monitor the temperature
gauge closely whilst driving up
hills or in heavy traffic when out-
side temperatures are high. Air
conditioning system operation
may cause engine overheating.
Continue to use the fan but turn
the air conditioning system off if
the temperature gauge indicates
engine overheating.• When opening the windows in
humid weather air conditioning
may create water droplets inside
the vehicle. Since excessive
water droplets may cause dam-
age to electrical equipment, air
conditioning should only be
used with the windows closed.
Air conditioning system operation
tips
• If the vehicle has been parked in
direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
to let the hot air inside the vehicle
escape.
• After sufficient cooling has been
achieved, switch back from the
recirculated air to the fresh outside
air position.
• To help reduce moisture inside of
the windows on rainy or humid
days, decrease the humidity inside
the vehicle by operating the air
conditioning system with the win-
dows and sunroof closed.• Use the air conditioning system
every month for a few minutes to
ensure maximum system perform-
ance.
• If you operate the air conditioner
excessively, the difference between
the temperature of the outside air
and that of the windscreen could
cause the outer surface of the
windscreen to fog up, causing loss
of visibility. In this case, set the
mode selection knob to the
position and set the fan speed con-
trol knob to the lowest speed set-
ting.
