Safety system of your vehicle
During a frontal collision, sensors will
detect the vehicle's deceleration. If
the deceleration rate (measured in g-
force) is high enough, the control unit
will inflate the front air bags. The front air bags help protect the
driver and front passenger byresponding to frontal impacts inwhich seat belts alone cannot pro-
vide adequate restraint. When need-
ed, the side air bags help provide
protection in the event of a side
impact or rollover.
Air bags are activated (able toinflate if necessary) only when the
ignition switch is in the ON posi-tion.
Air bags inflate in the event of cer- tain frontal or side collisions to help
protect the occupants from serious
physical injury.
There is no single speed at which the air bags will inflate. Generally,air bags are designed to inflate
based upon the severity of a colli-
sion and its direction. These two
factors determine whether the sen-
sors produce an electronic deploy-ment/inflation signal. Air bag deployment depends on a
number of factors including vehiclespeed, angles of impact and the
density and stiffness of the vehi-
cles or objects which your vehicle
impacts during a collision. The
determining factors are not limited
to those mentioned above.
The front air bags will completely inflate and deflate in an instant. It is
virtually impossible for you to see
the air bags inflate during an acci-
dent. It is much more likely that youwill simply see the deflated air
bags hanging out of their storage
compartments after the collision.
In addition to inflating in certain side collisions, vehicles equipped
with a rollover sensor, side and
curtain air bags will inflate if the
sensing system detects a rollover.
When a rollover is detected, side
and curtain air bags will remain
inflated longer to help provide pro-tection from ejection, especiallywhen used in conjunction with the
seat belts.
If your SRS malfunctions, the air
bag may not inflate properly dur-ing an accident increasing the
risk of serious injury or death.
If any of the following condi-
tions occur, your SRS is mal-functioning:
The light does not turn on for
approximately six seconds
when the ignition switch is inthe ON position.
The light remains illuminated
after approximately six sec-onds.
The light comes on while the
vehicle is in motion.
The light blinks when the engine is running.
Have an authorized HYUNDAIdealer inspect the SRS as soon
as possible if any of these con-
ditions occur.

Why Didn't My Air Bag Go Off in a Collision?
Air bags are not designed to inflate in
every collision. There are certaintypes of accidents in which the air
bag would not be expected to pro-
vide additional protection. These
include rear impacts, second or third
collisions in multiple impact acci-
dents, as well as low speed impacts.
Damage to the vehicle indicates a
collision energy absorption, and isnot an indicator of whether or not an
air bag should have inflated.
Air bag collision sensors
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 sen-
sors. 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.
Do not install bumper guards
or replace the bumper with a
non-genuine HYUNDAI parts.
This may adversely affect the
collision and air bag deploy-
ment performance.(Continued)
(Continued)
Place the ignition switch in
the LOCK/OFF or ACC posi-
tion when the vehicle is being
towed to prevent inadvertent
air bag deployment.
Have all air bag repairs conduct-
ed by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags
Front air bags and the driver’s knee air bag are designed to inflate in afrontal collision depending on the
severity, speed, or angles of impactof the front collision.
Side and curtain air bags
Side and curtain air bags are designed to inflate when an impact is
detected by side collision sensors
depending on the severity, speed, orangles of impact resulting from aside impact collision.Although the driver’s and front pas-
senger’s air bags are designed to
inflate only in frontal collisions, they
also may inflate in other types of col-lisions if the front impact sensors
detect a sufficient impact. Side and
curtain air bags are designed toinflate only in side impact collisions
or rollover situations, but they mayinflate in other collisions if the sideimpact sensors detect a sufficientimpact.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved
roads, the air bags may deploy. Drive
carefully on unimproved roads or on
surfaces not designed for vehicle
traffic to prevent unintended air bag
deployment.

Rear parking assist system (if equipped)
The Rear Parking Assist System
assists the driver during reverse
movement of the vehicle by chiming
if any object is sensed within approx-imately 120 cm (50 in) behind the
vehicle. This system is a supplemental sys- tem that senses objects within the
range and location of the sensors, itcannot detect objects in other areaswhere sensors are not installed.
Operation of the Rear ParkingAssist System
Operating condition
This system will activate when backing up with the ignition switch
in the ON position. However, if the
vehicle speed exceeds 5km/h (3
mph), the system may not detect
objects.
If the vehicle speed exceeds 10 km/h (6 mph), the system will not
warn you even though objects aredetected.
When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.
OLF047062
Sensor
ALWAYS look around your vehi-
cle to make sure there are not
any objects or obstacles before
moving the vehicle in any direc-
tion to prevent a collision.
Always pay close attention
when the vehicle is driven close
to objects, particularly pedestri-
ans, and especially children.
Be aware that some objects
may not be visible on the
screen or be detected by the
sensors, due to the objects
distance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effective-
ness of the sensor.

Rear parking assist system precautions
The rear parking assist systemmay not operate consistently in some circumstances depending on
the speed of the vehicle and theshapes of the objects detected.
The rear parking assist system may malfunction if the vehicle
bumper height or sensor installa-tion has been modified or dam-
aged. Any non-factory installed
equipment or accessories may
also interfere with the sensor per-
formance.
The sensor may not recognize objects less than 40 cm (15 in.)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.
When the sensor is blocked with snow, dirt, debris, or ice, the rear
parking assist system may be inop-
erative until the snow or ice melts,
or the debris is removed. Use a
soft cloth to wipe debris away from
the sensor. Do not push, scratch or strike the
sensor with any hard objects that
could damage the surface of the
sensor. Sensor damage could
occur.
Do not spray the sensors or its sur- rounding area directly with a high
pressure washer. Doing so may
cause the sensors to fail to operate
normally.
Your new vehicle warranty does
not cover any accidents or dam-
age to the vehicle or injuries toits occupants related to a Rear
Parking Assist System. Always
drive safely and cautiously.

The Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) uses radar sensors in the rear
bumper to monitor and warn the driv-
er of an approaching vehicle in the
driver's blind spot area. The system monitors the rear area of
the vehicle and provides information
to the driver with an audible alert and
an indicator on the outside side view
mirrors.(1) BSD (Blind Spot Detection)
The blind spot detection range
varies relative to vehicle speed.
Note that if your vehicle is travel-
ing much faster than the vehicles
around you, the warning will not
occur.
(2) LCA (Lane Change Assist) The Lane Change Assist feature
will alert you when a vehicle isapproaching in an adjacent lane
at a high rate of speed. If the driv-
er activates the turn signal whenthe system detects an oncoming
vehicle, the system sounds an
audible alert.
(3) RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert) The Rear Cross Traffic Alert fea-ture monitors approaching cross
traffic from the left and right side
of the vehicle when your vehicle is
moving in reverse. The feature will
operate when the vehicle is mov-
ing in reverse below about 10
km/h (6 mph). If oncoming cross
traffic is detected a warning chimewill sound.
