Safety features of your vehicle
A fully inflated air bag, in combination
with a properly worn seat belt, slows the
driver's or the passenger's forward
motion, reducing the risk of head and
chest injury.
After complete inflation, the air bag
immediately starts deflating, enabling the
driver to maintain forward visibility and
the ability to steer or operate other con-
trols.

Driver’s front air bag (3)
WARNING
Do not install or place any acces-sories (drink holder, CD or discs
holder, sticker, etc.) on the front
passenger's panel above the
glove box in a vehicle with a pas-
senger's air bag. Such objects
may become dangerous projec-
tiles and cause injury if the pas-
senger's air bag inflates.
When installing a container of liq- uid air freshener inside the vehi-
cle, do not place it near the
instrument cluster nor on the
instrument panel surface.
It may become a dangerous pro-
jectile and cause injury if the pas-
senger's air bag inflates.
B240B05L
Passenger’s front air bag
WARNING
If an air bag deploys, there maybe a loud noise followed by a fine
dust released in the vehicle.
These conditions are normal and
are not hazardous - the air bags
are packed in this fine powder.
The dust generated during air
bag deployment may cause skin
or eye irritation as well as aggra-
vate asthma for some persons.
Always wash all exposed skin
areas thoroughly with lukewarm
water and a mild soap after an
accident in which the air bags
were deployed.
The SRS can function only when the engine start/stop button is in
the ON position. If the SRS air
bag warning light " " does not
illuminate, or continuously
remains on after illuminating for
about 6 seconds when the engine
start/stop button is turned to the
ON position, or after the engine is
started, comes on while driving,
the SRS is not working properly.
If this occurs, have your vehicle
immediately inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Features of your vehicle
Electric power steering (EPS)
The power steering uses a motor to
assist you in steering the vehicle. If the
engine is off or if the power steering sys-
tem becomes inoperative, the vehicle
may still be steered, but it will require
increased steering effort.
The steering becomes heavier as the
vehicle’s speed increases and becomes
lighter as the vehicle’s speed decreases
for optimum steering control.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the power steer-
ing checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
✽ ✽NOTICE
The following symptoms may occur dur-
ing normal vehicle operation:
• The EPS warning light does not illumi-
nate.
• The steering effort is high immediately after turning the engine start/stop but-
ton on. This happens as the system
performs the EPS system diagnostics.
When the diagnostics is completed, the
steering wheel will return to its normal
condition.
• A click noise may be heard from the EPS relay after the engine start/stop
button is turned to the ON or LOCK
position.
• A motor noise may be heard when the vehicle is at a stop or at a low driving
speed.
• If the Electric Power Steering System does not operate normally, the warn-
ing light will illuminate on the instru-
ment cluster. The steering wheel may
become difficult to control or operate
abnormally. Take your vehicle to an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer and
have the vehicle checked as soon as
possible.
• When you operate the steering wheel in low temperature, noise could occur.
If temperature rises, the noise will dis-
appear. This is a normal condition.
STEERING WHEEL
CAUTION
If the Electric Power Steering
System does not operate normal-ly, the warning light will illuminateon the instrument cluster. Thesteering wheel may become diffi- cult to control or operate abnor-mally. Take your vehicle to anauthorized HYUNDAI dealer andhave the vehicle checked as soonas possible.
When you operate the steering wheel in low temperature, abnor-mal noise could occur. If tempera-ture rises, the noise will disap-pear. This is a normal condition.

Blue drive mode
Your vehicle is equipped with a highly
efficient power train based on Hyundai's
BlueDrive technology.
BlueDrive mode is for normal, everyday
driving for smooth efficient operation.
Each time you start the vehicle, BlueDrive is activated automatically.
If needed, the driver can temporarily switch BlueDrive ON/OFF using the
steering wheel mounted button.
- BlueDrive OFF is intended for brief
periods of unusual driving, such as
steep roads or heavy loads. The cen-
ter cluster background will be Black.
- BlueDrive ON is meant for normal vehicle driving and provides maxi-
mum fuel efficiency. The instrument
center cluster will glow bright Blue. Switch back to BlueDrive ON as soon
as possible for maximum fuel efficien-
cy and to restore the BlueDrive center
display.
Your vehicle will automatically resume BlueDrive each time it is restarted.
Trip computer
The trip computer is a microcomputer
controlled driver information system that
displays information related to driving on
the LCD screen when the engine
start/stop button is in the ON position. If
the battery is disconnected, then all
stored driving information is reset.

Always make sure the shift lever
is latched in the P (Park) position
and set the parking brake fully.
Never leave a child unattended in a vehicle.
