VEHICLE DATA COLLECTION AND EVENT DATA RECORDERS
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of
an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag
deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a
vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:

[ How various systems in your vehicle were operating;

[ Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;

[ How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,

[ How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-
trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving
conditions and no personal data (for example, name, gender, age, and crash location)
are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the
EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash
investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties,
such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if
they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

WARNING
Make sure the engine is off, the shift
button is in P (Park), and the parking
brake is securely applied whenever
loading or unloading cargo. Failure
to take these steps may allow the
vehicle to move if the shift button
is inadvertently moved to another
position.
CAUTION

[Be careful when loading cargo
through the rear passenger seats
to prevent damage to the vehicle
interior.

[ When cargo is loaded through the
rear passenger seats, ensure the
cargo is properly secured to prevent
it from moving while driving.
WARNING
Cargo should always be secured to
prevent it from being thrown about the
vehicle in a collision and causing injury
to the vehicle occupants. Do not place
objects in the rear seats, since they
cannot be properly secured and may hit
the front seat occupants in a collision.
2nd row seat folding (if equipped)
(from outside)
OTMPH031003N
Push the 2nd row seat back folding
switch (1) located in the right side in the
liftgate. (L : Left seatback folding,
R : Right seatback folding)
WARNING
Rear seat folding
Do not fold the rear seats, if passengers,
pets or luggage are in the rear seats.
It may cause injury or damage to
passengers, pets, luggage.

Seats & Safety System3-64
OTM030018
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.
OTM030041
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.
OTM030019
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.

Warning and indicator lights
Information
Make sure that all warning lights are OFF
after starting the engine. If any light is still
ON, this indicates a situation that needs
attention.
Seat belt warning light
This warning light informs the driver that
the seat belt is not fastened.
For more details, refer to “Seat Belts”
section in chapter 3.
Air bag warning light
This warning light illuminates:

[ When y
ou turn the ignition switch or
the Engine Start/Stop button to the
ON position.
- It illuminates for approximately 3~6 seconds and then goes off.

[ When there is a malfunction with the
SRS.
In this case, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Parking brake & Brake fluid
warning light
This warning light illuminates:

[When y
ou set the ignition switch or
the Engine Start/Stop button to the
ON position.
- The parking brake & brake fluid warning light illuminates for about 3
seconds and will then turn off once
the parking brake is released.

[ Whenever the parking brake is
applied.

[ Whenever the brake fluid level in the
reservoir is low.

- If the warning light illuminates
with the parking brake released, it
indicates the brake fluid level in the
reservoir is low.
If the brake fluid level in the reservoir is
low:
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe loca
tion and stop your vehicle.
2. With the engine stopped, check the brake fluid level immediately and add
fluid as required (For more details,
refer to “Brake Fluid” section in
chapter 9). After adding brake fluid,
check all brake components for fluid
leaks. If a brake fluid leak is found, or
if the warning light remains on, or if
the brakes do not operate properly, do
not drive the vehicle. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
