Seats & Safety System

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, 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.
We recommend that you 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
OTMA030005
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
You can adjust the brightness of the
instrument panel illumination form the
User Settings Mode on the LCD display
when the ignition switch is on (‘Lights →
Illumination’). When the vehicle’s parking
lights or headlamps are on, interior
switch illumination intensity and mood
lamps are also adjusted.
If your vehicle is equipped with
additional navigation, please refer
to the infotainment system manual
separately supplied.
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.
• 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
„„4.2-Inch
OTM040059L
„„12.3-Inch
OTM040006LThe speedometer indicates the speed of
the vehicle and is calibrated in miles per
hour (MPH) and/or kilometers per hour
(km/h).

Instrument cluster

Power gauge
„„4.2-Inch„„12.3-Inch
OTMH040003OTMH040004E
The power gauge indicates whether the
current driving condition is fuel efficient
or not.
• CHARGE : Shows that the energy
made by the vehicle is being
converted to electrical energy.
(Regenerated energy)
• ECO : Shows that the vehicle is being
driven in an Eco-friendly manner.
• POWER : Shows that the vehicle is
exceeding the Eco-friendly range.
Information
Accordance to the power gauge area the
“EV” indicator comes on or off.
-“EV” indicator ON : Vehicle is driven
using the electric motor or the gasoline
engine is stopped.
-“EV” indicator OFF : Vehicle is driven
using the gasoline engine.
Fuel gauge
„„4.2-Inch„„12.3-Inch
OTM040011OTM040012
This gauge indicates the approximate
amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank.
Information
• The fuel tank capacity is given in
chapter 2.
• The fuel gauge is supplemented by
a low fuel warning light, which will
illuminate when the fuel tank is nearly
empty.
• On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge
pointer may fluctuate or the low fuel
warning light may come on earlier than
usual due to the movement of fuel in
the tank.
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 “0
or E (Empty)” level.
NOTICE
Avoid driving with an extremely low
fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire damaging
the catalytic converter.

Hybrid battery SOC (State of Charge)
gauge
„„4.2-Inch„„12.3-Inch
OTMH040005NOCN7H040003
This gauge indicates the remaining
hybrid battery power. If the SOC is near
the “0 or L (Low)” level, the vehicle
automatically operates the engine to
charge the battery.
However, if the Service Indicator (
)
and Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
(
) turn on when the SOC gauge is near
the “0 or L (Low)” level, we recommend
the vehicle be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE
Never try to start the vehicle if the fuel
tank is empty. In this condition, the
engine cannot charge the high voltage
battery of the hybrid system. If you
try to start the vehicle when the fuel
is empty, the high voltage battery will
become discharged and be damaged.
Outside temperature gauge
„„4.2-Inch
OTMA048112
„„12.3-Inch
OTMA040008
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.)
You can change the temperature unit
from the Settings menu in the Cluster.
Select:
- Setup → Unit → Temperature Unit →
°F/°C
For vehicles equipped with Automatic
Climate Control, you can also:
- Press the AUTO button while pressing
the OFF button on the climate control
unit for 3 seconds
Both the temperature unit on the cluster
LCD display and climate control screen
will change.

Odometer
„„4.2-Inch

The odometer indicates the total
distance that the vehicle has been
driven and should be used to determine
when periodic maintenance should be
performed.
Distance to empty
„„4.2-Inch
OAD048563L
„„12.3-Inch
OCN7040016N
• The distance to empty is the
estimated distance the vehicle can be
driven with the remaining fuel.
• If the estimated distance is below
1 mi. (1 km), the trip computer will
display “---” as distance to empty.
Information
• If the vehicle is not on level ground or
the battery power has been interrupted,
the distance to empty function may not
operate correctly.
• The distance to empty may differ
from the actual driving distance as it
is an estimate of the available driving
distance.
• The trip computer may not register
additional fuel if less than 6 liters (1.5
gallon) of fuel are added to the vehicle.
• The distance to empty may vary
significantly based on driving
conditions, driving habits, and
condition of the vehicle.
