methanol

Ethanol [E-10], a mixture of petrol and
ethanol (also known as grain alcohol),
and petrol or ethanol containing
methanol (also known as wood alcohol)
are being marketed along with or instead
of leaded or unleaded petrol.

Do not use ethanol containing more than
10% ethanol, and do not use petrol or
ethanol containing any methanol. Either
of these fuels may cause drivability prob­lems and damage to the fuel system.

Discontinue using ethanol of any kind if
drivability problems occur.

Vehicle damage or driveability problems
may not be covered by the manufactur­er’s warranty if they result from the use
of:

1. Ethanol containing more than 10%.

2. Petrol or ethanol containing methanol.

3. Leaded fuel or leaded ethanol.

A020104AUN-EA

Use of MTBE

We recommend that fuels containing
MTBE (Methyl Ter tiary Butyl Ether) over

15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7%
weight) should not be used in your vehi­cle.

Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0% vol.
(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) may
reduce vehicle performance and produce
vapour lock or hard starting.

WARNING

• Do not "top off" after the nozzle
automatically shuts off when
refuelling.

• Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an acci­dent.

CAUTION

Never use ethanol which contains

Diesel fuel

Diesel engine must be operated only on
commercially available diesel fuel that
complies with EN 590 or comparable
standard. (EN stands for "European
Norm"). Do not use marine diesel fuel,
heating oils, or non-approved fuel addi­tives, as this will increase wear and
cause damage to the engine and fuel
system. The use of non-approved fuels
and/or fuel additives will result in a limita­tion of your warranty rights.

Diesel fuel of above cetane 51 is used in
your vehicle. If two types of diesel fuel
are available, use summer or winter fuel
properly according to the following tem­perature conditions.

• Above -5°C (23°F) ... Summer type
diesel fuel.

• Below -5°C (23°F) ...Winter type diesel
fuel.

Watch the fuel lev el in the tank v ery care­fully : If the engine stops through fuel fail­ure, the circuits must be completely
purged to permit restarting.

CAUTION

• Do not let any petrol or water
enter the tank.This would make it
necessary to drain it out and to
bleed the lines to avoid jamming
the injection pump and damaging
the engine.

• In winter, in order to cut down
incidents due to freezing, paraffin
oil may be added to the fuel if the
temperature drops to below -10°C
(14°F). Never use more than 20%
paraffin oil.

CAUTION

Hyundai Warranty Policy will not
cover damage to the fuel system
and performance problems that are
caused by the use of methanol or

WARNING - Driver’s seat

• Never attempt to adjust seat
while the vehicle is moving. This
could result in loss of control,
and an accident causing death,
serious injury, or property dam­age.

• Do not allow anything to interfere
with the normal position of the
seatback. Storing items against a
seatback or in any other way
interfering with proper locking of
a seatback could result in serious
or fatal injury in a sudden stop or
collision.

• Always drive and ride with your
seatback upright and the lap por­tion of the seat belt snug and low
across the hips. This is the best
position to protect you in case of
an accident.

• In order to avoid unnecessary
and perhaps severe air bag
injuries, always sit as far back as
possible from the steering wheel
while maintaining comfortable
control of the vehicle. It is recom­mended that your chest is at least
250 mm (10 inches) away from
the steering wheel.

WARNING - Uprighting

seat

When you return the seatback to its
upright position, hold the seatback
and return it slowly and be sure
there are no other occupants
around the seat. If the seatback is
returned without being held and
controlled, the back of the seat
could spring forward resulting in
accidental injury to a person struck
by the seatback.

WARNING - Loose objects

Loose objects in the driver’s foot
area could interfere with the opera­tion of the foot pedals, possibly
causing an accident. Do not place
anything under the front seats.

WARNING - Driver respon-

sibility for front seat pas­senger

Riding in a vehicle with a front seat­back reclined could lead to serious
or fatal injury in an accident. If a
front seat is reclined during an
accident, the occupant’s hips may
slide under the lap portion of the
seat belt applying great force to the
unprotected abdomen. Serious or
fatal internal injuries could result.
The driver must advise the front
passenger to keep the seatback in
an upright position whenever the
vehicle is in motion.

WARNING

The purpose of the fold-down rear
seatbacks (or cushions) is to allow
you to carry longer objects than
could otherwise be accommodated.

Never allow passengers to sit on
top of the folded down seatback
while the car is moving as this is
not a proper seating position and
no seat belts are available for use.
This could result in serious injury
or death in case of an accident or a
sudden stop.Objects carried on the
folded down seatback should not
extend higher than the top of the
front seats. This could allow cargo
to slide forward and cause injury or
damage during sudden stops.

WARNING - Cargo loading

Make sure the engine is off, the
transaxle is in P and the hand brake
is applied whenever loading or
unloading cargo. Failure to take
these steps may allow the vehicle
to move if shift lever is inadvertent­ly moved to another position.

WARNING

When you return the rear seatback
to its upright position after being
folded down:

Be careful not to damage the seat
belt webbing or buckle. Do not
allow the seat belt webbing or
buckle to get caught or pinched in
the rear seat. Ensure that the seat­back is completely locked into its
upright position by pushing on the
top of the seatback. Otherwise, in
an accident or sudden stop, the
seat could fold down and allow
cargo to enter the passenger com­partment, which could result in
serious injury or death.

CAUTION - Rear seat belts

When returning the rear seatbacks
to the upright position, remember
to return the rear shoulder belts to
their proper position.

WARNING - Cargo

Cargo should always be secured to
prevent it from being thrown about
the vehicle in a collision and caus­ing injury to the vehicle occupants.
Special care should be taken of
objects placed in the rear seats,
since those may hit the front seat
occupants in a frontal collision.

Seat belt restraint system

The use of seat belts reduces the risk of
accident injury by avoiding collision with
the interior of the car and by preventing
the occupants from being thrown out of
the car.This makes them the most impor­tant safety feature available for you and
your passengers. Adequate protection is
afforded only when the belt is worn cor­rectly. You should always fasten and
adjust your seatbelts before the car is put
in motion and encourage your passen­gers to do the same.

SEAT BELTS

WARNING

• For maximum restraint system
protection, the seat belts must
always be used whenever the car
is moving.

• Seat belts are most effective
when seatbacks are in the
upright position.

• Children age 12 and younger
must always be properly
restrained in the rear seat. Never
allow children to ride in the front
passenger seat. If a child over 12
must be seated in the front seat,
he/she must be properly belted
and the seat should be moved as
far back as possible.

• Never wear the shoulder belt
under your arm or behind your
back. An improperly positioned
shoulder belt can cause serious
injuries in a crash. The shoulder
belt should be positioned midway
over your shoulder across your
collarbone.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• Avoid wearing twisted seat belts.
A twisted belt can't do its job as
well. In a collision, it could even
cut into you. Be sure the belt
webbing is straight and not twist­ed.

• Be careful not to damage the belt
webbing or hardware. If the belt
webbing or hardware is dam­aged, replace it.

WARNING

Seat belts are designed to bear
upon the bony structure of the
body, and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis or the
pelvis, chest and shoulders, as
applicable; wearing the lap section
of the belt across the abdominal
area must be avoided.

Seat belts should be adjusted as
firmly as possible, consistent with
comfort, to provide the protection
for which they have been designed.

A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.

Seat belt warning

As a reminder to the driver and front pas­senger, the driver’s and front passenger’s
seat belt warning lights will illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds each time you
turn the ignition switch ON regardless of
belt fastening.

If the driver’s or front passenger’s seat
belt is not fastened when the ignition
switch is turned ON or if it is unfastened
after the ignition switch is turned ON, the
corresponding seat belt warning light will
illuminate or blink until the belt is fas­tened.

If the driver's or front passenger’s seat
belt is not fastened when the ignition
switch is turned ON and you drive over
20 km/h, the seat belt warning chime will
sound for approximately 100 seconds.

If the driver's or front passenger’s seat
belt is unfastened after the ignition switch
is turned ON and you drive over 20 km/h,
the seat belt warning chime will sound for
approximately 100 seconds.

After 100 seconds, if the seat belt is con­nected and disconnected again, the seat
belt warning chime will sound again.

(Continued)
Care should be taken to avoid con-

tamination of the webbing with pol­ishes, oils and chemicals, and par­ticularly battery acid. Cleaning may
safely be carried out using mild
soap and water.The belt should be
replaced if webbing becomes
frayed, contaminated or damaged.
It is essential to replace the entire
assembly after it has been worn in
a severe impact even if damage to
the assembly is not obvious. Belts
should not be worn with straps
twisted. Each seat belt assembly
must only be used by one occu­pant; it is dangerous to put a belt
around a child being carried on the
occupant's lap.

WARNING

No modifications or additions
should be made by the user which
will either prevent the seat belt
adjusting devices from operating to
remove slack, or prevent the seat
belt assembly from being adjusted
to remove slack.

Pre-tensioner seat belt
(if equipped)

Your vehicle is equipped with driver's and
front passenger's pre-tensioner seat
belts.The purpose of the pre-tensioner is
to make sure that the seat belts fit tightly
against the wearer’s body in certain
frontal collisions. The pre-tensioner seat
belts can be activated, where the frontal
collision 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 cer tain frontal collisions,
the pre-tensioner will activate and pull
the seat belt into tighter contact against
the occupant's body.

If the system senses excessive seat belt
tension on the driver or passenger's seat
belt when the pre-tensioner activates, the
load limiter inside the pre-tensioner will
release some of the pressure on the
affected seat belt. (if equipped)

The seat belt pre-tensioner system con­sists mainly of the following components.
Their locations are shown in the illustra­tion:

1. SRS air bag warning light

✽✽

NOTICE

• Both the driver's and front passen­ger's pre-tensioner seat belts will be
activated in certain frontal collisions.
The pre-tensioner seat belts can be
activated where the frontal collision is
severe enough, together with the air
bags.
The pre-tensioners will not be activat­ed if the seat belts are not being worn
at the time of the collision.

• When the pre-tensioner seat belts are
activated, a loud noise may be heard
and fine dust, which may appear to be
smoke, may be visible in the passenger
compartment. These are normal oper­ating conditions and are not haz­ardous.

• Although it is harmless, the fine dust
may cause skin irritation and should
not be breathed for prolonged peri­ods. Wash all exposed skin areas thor­oughly after an accident in which the
pre-tensioner seat belts were activat­ed.

✽✽

NOTICE

Because the sensor that activates the
SRS air bag is connected with the pre­tensioner seat belt, the SRS air bag
warning light on the instrument panel
will illuminate for approximately 6 sec­onds after the ignition switch has been
turned to the "ON" position, and then it
should turn off.

WARNING

• Pre-tensioners are designed to
operate only one time. After acti­vation, pre-tensioner seat belts
must be replaced. All seat belts,
of any type, should always be
replaced after they have been
worn during a collision.

• The pre-tensioner seat belt
assembly mechanisms become
hot during activation. Do not
touch the pre-tensioner seat belt
assemblies for several minutes
after they have been activated.

• Do not attempt to inspect or

You should be aware of the specific
requirements in your country. Child
and/or infant seats must be properly
placed and installed in the rear seat. For
more information about the use of these
restraints, refer to “Child restraint sys­tem” in this section.

✽✽

NOTICE

Small children are best protected from
injury in an accident when properly
restrained in the rear seat by a child
restraint system that meets the require­ments of the Safety Standards of your
country. Before buying any child
restraint system, make sure that it has a
label certifying that it meets Safety
Standards of your country. The restraint
must be appropriate for your child's
height and weight. Check the label on
the child restraint for this information.
Refer to “Child restraint system” in this
section.

(Continued)

• Always wear the seat belts when
driving or riding in a motor vehi­cle.

• If the vehicle or pre-tensioner
seat belt must be discarded, con­tact an authorised Hyundai deal­er.

WARNING

All occupants of the vehicle must
wear their seat belts at all times.
Seat belts and child restraints
reduce the risk of serious or fatal
injuries for all occupants in the
event of a collision or sudden stop.
Without a seat belt, occupants
could be shifted too close to a
deploying air bag,strike the interior
structure or be thrown from the
vehicle. Properly worn seat belts
greatly reduce these hazards.

Always follow the precautions
about seat belts, air bags and occu­pant seat contained in this manual.

WARNING

Every person in your vehicle needs
to be properly restrained at all
times, including infants and chil­dren. Never hold a child in your
arms or lap when riding in a vehi­cle. The violent forces created dur­ing a crash will tear the child from
your arms and throw the child
against the interior. Always use a
child restraint appropriate for your
child's height and weight.

323

Safety system of your vehicle

C020301AUN-EA

Larger children

Children who are too large for child
restraint systems should always occupy
the rear seat and use the available
lap/shoulder belts.The lap portion should
be fastened snug on the hips and as low
as possible. Check belt fit periodically. A
child's squirming could put the belt out of
position. Children are afforded the most
safety in the event of an accident when
they are restrained by a proper restraint
system in the rear seat. If a larger child
(over age 12) must be seated in the front
seat, the child should be securely
restrained by the available lap/shoulder
belt and the seat should be placed in the
rearmost position. Children age 12 and
under should be restrained securely in
the rear seat. NEVER place a child age
12 and under in the front seat. NEVER
place a rear facing child seat in the front
seat of a vehicle.

If the shoulder belt portion slightly touch­es the child’s neck or face, try placing the
child closer to the centre of the vehicle.If
the shoulder belt still touches their face
or neck they need to be returned to a
child restraint system.

C020302AKM

Restraint of pregnant women

Pregnant women should wear lap/shoul­der belt assemblies whenever possible
according to specific recommendations
by their doctors. The lap portion of the
belt should be worn AS SNUGLY AND
LOW AS POSSIBLE.

WARNING

When you return the rear seatback
to its upright position after the rear
seatback was folded down,be care­ful not to damage the seat belt web­bing or buckle. Be sure that the
webbing or buckle does not get
caught or pinched in the rear seat.
A seat belt with damaged webbing
or buckle will not be as strong and
could possibly fail during a colli­sion or sudden stop, resulting in
serious injury.

C020305AFD-EA

Do not lie down

To reduce the chance of injuries in the
event of an accident and to achieve max­imum effectiveness of the restraint sys­tem, all passengers should be sitting up
and the front seats should be in an
upright position when the car is moving.A
seat belt cannot provide proper protection
if the person is lying down in the rear seat
or if the front seat is in a reclined position.

C020400AUN-EA

Care of seat belts

Seat belt systems should never be disas­sembled or modified. In addition, care
should be taken to assure that seat belts
and belt hardware are not damaged by
seat hinges, doors or other abuse.

Maintenance of seat belts

When cleaning the seat belts, as recom­mended, avoid getting solutions into the
buckle where they may attack the lubri­cant or cause corrosion. Do not attempt
to bleach or re-dye belts, as this may
affect the webbing strength.

✽✽

NOTICE

Do not attempt any form of modifica­tions or repairs to seat belt components.
If the retractor or other components do
not operate correctly, call an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer, who will take the
necessary corrective action. Your autho­rised dealer will inspect all seat belt
components at regular intervals and
advise if replacement is required.
Between these inspections you should
make regular checks to ensure that for­eign objects are not preventing complete
buckle engagement.

WARNING

Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of serious
or fatal injuries in the event of a col­lision or sudden stop. The protec­tion of your restraint system (seat
belts and air bags) is greatly
reduced by reclining your seat.
Seat belts must be snug against
your hips and chest to work pr oper­ly. The more the seatback is
reclined, the greater the chance
that an wearer’s hips will slide
under the lap belt causing serious
internal injuries or the wearer’s
neck could strike the shoulder belt.
Drivers and passengers should
always sit well back in their seats,
properly belted, and with the seat­backs upright.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM

C030000BUN-EA

Children riding in the car should sit in the
rear seat and must always be properly
restrained to minimise the risk of injury in
an accident, sudden stop or sudden
manoeuvre. According to accident statis­tics, children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seats than in the
front seat. Larger children not in a child
restraint should use one of the seat belts
provided.

If the child is old enough to sit alone and
the car is not equipped with a proper
child or infant seat, the child should be
placed in the rear seat and restrained
with a lap/sash belt.

You should be aware of the specific
requirements in your country .Child and/or
infant safety seats must be properly
placed and installed in the rear seat.You
must use a commercially available child
restraint system that meets the require­ments of the Safety Standards of your
country. Child restraint systems are
designed to be secured in vehicle seats by
lap belts or the lap belt portion of a
lap/shoulder belt, or by a tether anchor
and/or ISOFIX anchors (if equipped).

Children could be injured or killed in a
crash if their restraints are not properly
secured.F or small children and babies, a
child seat or infant seat must be used.
Before buying a particular child restraint
system, make sure it fits your car seat
and seat belts, and fits your child.

Follow all the instructions provided by the
manufacturer when installing the child
restraint system.

WARNING

• A child restraint system must be
placed in the rear seat. Never
install a child or infant seat on the
front passenger's seat. Should an
accident occur and cause the
passenger side air bag to deploy,
it could severely injure or kill an
infant or child seated in an infant
or child seat. Thus only use a
child restraint in the rear seat of
your vehicle.

• A seat belt or child restraint sys­tem can become very hot if it is
left in a closed vehicle on a sunny
day, even if the outside tempera­ture does not feel hot. Be sure to
check the seat cover and buckles
before placing a child there.

• When the child restraint system
is not in use, store it in the lug­gage area or fasten it with a seat
belt so that it will not be thrown
forward in the case of a sudden
stop or an accident.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• A child restraint system should
be placed in the vehicle's rear
seat since this can make an
important contribution to safety.

• Unrestrained children should not
be carried in the car. Holding a
child in your arms is not a satis­factory substitute for a child
restraint system. A child held in
this manner can be crushed
between your body and the interi­or of the car.

• Children may be seriously injured
or killed by an inflating air bag.
All children, even those too large
for child restraints, must ride in
the rear seat.

• Before installing Child Restraint
System to vehicles fitted with
Curtain Airbags, always refer to
safety notices for Curtain Airbag
systems on this manual.
Whenever installing child
restraints, use only approved
devices and refer to "Child
Restraint System" to ensure cor­rect installation and occupant
protection is maximised.

Safety system of your vehicle

(Continued)

• Never leave children unattended
in a vehicle – not even for a short
time. The car can heat up very
quickly, resulting in serious
injuries to children inside. Even
very young children may inadver­tently cause the vehicle to move,
entangle themselves in the win­dows, or lock themselves or oth­ers inside the vehicle.

• Never allow two children, or any
two persons, to use the same
seat belt.

• Children often squirm and repo­sition themselves improperly.
Never let a child ride with the
shoulder belt under their arm or
behind their back. Always prop­erly position and secure children
in rear seat.

• Never allow a child to stand-up or
kneel on the seat or floorboard of
a moving vehicle. During a colli­sion or a sudden stop, the child
can be violently thrown against
the vehicles interior, resulting in
serious injury.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• Never use an infant carrier or a
child safety seat that "hooks"
over a seatback, it may not pro­vide adequate security in an acci­dent.

• Under all circumstances the
attaching bolt must be engaged
at least 5 full threads in the
anchorage. If you are in doubt
with any aspect of this installa­tion please contact an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.

• Seat belts can become very hot,
especially when the car is parked
in direct sunlight. Always check
seat belt buckles before fasten­ing them over a child.

• Always store or secure a child
seat, even when it is not in use.
During a collision or a sudden
stop, the child seat could be
thrown inside the vehicle.

WARNING

To reduce the chance or serious or
fatal injuries:

• Children of all ages are safer
when restrained in the rear seat.
A child riding in the front passen­ger seat can be forcefully struck
by an inflating air bag resulting in
serious or fatal injuries.

• Always follo w the instructions for
installation and use of the child
restraint manufacturer.

• Always make sure the child seat
is secured properly in the car and
your child is securely restrained
in the child seat.

• Never hold a child in your arms or
lap when riding in a vehicle. The
violent forces created during a
crash will tear the child from your
arms and throw the child against
the car’s interior.

• Never put a seat belt over your­self and a child. During a crash,
the belt could press deep into the
child causing serious internal
injuries.

Securing a child restraint system
with “ISOFIX” system and
“Anchorage Fitting Packages”sys­tem (if equipped)

ISOFIX is a standardised method of fit­ting child seats that eliminates the need
to use the standard adult seat belt to
secure the seat in the vehicle. This
enables a much more secure and posi­tive location with the added benefit of
easier and quicker installation.

An ISOFIX-seat can only be installed if it
has vehicle-specific approval in accor­dance with the requirements of relevant
regulation.

There are ISOFIX tags located on the
lower portion of each side of the rear
seatbacks.These tags indicate the posi­tion of the lower anchors for child
restraints so equipped.

B230D01NF

WARNING - Child restraint

check

Check that the child restraint sys­tem is secure by pushing and
pulling it in different directions.
Incorrectly fitted child restraints
may swing, twist, tip or separate
causing death or serious injury.

WARNING

- Child restraint anchorage

• Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no circum­stances are they to be used for
adult seat belts or harnesses or
for attaching other items or
equipment to the vehicle.

• The tether strap may not work
properly if attached somewhere
other than the correct tether
anchor.

On each side of the rear seat, between
the cushion and backrest, are located a
pair of ISOFIX anchorage points togeth­er with a top tether mounting on the floor
behind the rear seats.During the installa­tion, the seat has to be engaged at the
anchorage-points in a way you can hear
it clicking (check by pulling!) and has to
be fixed with the Top Tether-belt on the
belonging point on the floor behind rear
seats.

The installing and the use of a child-seat
has to be done according to the
installing-manual, which is added to the
ISOFIX-seat.

To secure the child restraint seat

1. To engage the child restraint seat to
the ISOFIX anchor, insert the child
restraint seat latch into the ISOFIX
anchor. Listen for the audible “click”
sound.

2. Connect the attaching clip to the child
restraint hook holder and tighten to
secure the seat. (Refer to the previous
page.)

WARNING

When using the vehicle's "ISOFIX"
system to install a child restraint
system in the rear seat, all unused
vehicle rear seat belt metal latch
plates or tabs must be latched
securely in their seat belt buckles
and the seat belt webbing must be
retracted behind the child restraint
to prevent the child from reaching
and taking hold of unretracted seat
belts. Unlatched metal latch plates
or tabs may allow the child to reach
the unretracted seat belts which
may result in strangulation and a
serious injury or death to the child
in the child restraint.

WARNING

Install the child restraint seat fully
rearward against the seatback with
the seatback in a vertical position,
not reclined.

CAUTION

Do not allow the rear seat belt web­bing to get scratched or pinched by
the ISOFIX-seat latch and ISOFIX
anchor during the installation.

SRS components and functions

The SRS consists of the following com­ponents:

1. Driver's front air bag module

2. Passenger's front air bag module*

3. Side air bag modules*

4. Curtain air bag modules*

5. Retractor pre-tensioner assemblies*

6. Air bag warning light

8. Front impact sensors

9. Side impact sensors*

10. Passenger’s front air bag OFF indi­cator (front passenger's seat only)*

11. Passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF
switch*

*: if equipped

The SRSCM continually monitors all ele­ments while the ignition switch is ON to
determine if a frontal or near-frontal
impact is severe enough to require air
bag deployment or pre-tensioner seat
belt deployment.

The SRS air bag warning light on the
instrument panel will illuminate for about
6 seconds after the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, after which the
air bag warning light should go out.

If any of the following conditions occurs,
this indicates a malfunction of the SRS.
Have an authorised HYUNDAI dealer
inspect the air bag system as soon as
possible.

• The light does not turn on briefly when
you turn the ignition ON.

• The light stays on after illuminating for
approximately 6 seconds.

• The light comes on while the vehicle is
in motion.

The air bag modules are located both in
the centre of the steering wheel and in
the front passenger's panel above the
glove box. When the SRSCM detects a
sufficiently severe impact to the front of
the vehicle, it will automatically deploy
the front air bags.

Upon deployment, tear seams molded
directly into the pad covers will separate
under pressure from the expansion of the
air bags. Further opening of the covers
then allows full inflation of the air bags.

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 con­trols.

Driver's and passenger's front air
bag (if equipped)

Your vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag) System
and lap/shoulder belts at both the driver
and passenger seating positions. The
indications of the system's presence are
the letters "SRS AIR BAG" embossed on
the air bag pad cover in the steering
wheel and the passenger's side front
panel pad above the glove box.

The SRS consists of air bags installed
under the pad covers in the centre of the
steering wheel and the passenger's side
front panel above the glove box.

WARNING

• If an air bag deploys, there may
be 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 aggra­vate 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.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• The SRS can function only when
the ignition key 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 ignition key 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 authorised HYUNDAI dealer.

• Before you replace a fuse or dis­connect a battery terminal, turn
the ignition switch to the LOCK
position and remove the ignition
key. Never remove or replace the
air bag related fuse(s) when the
ignition switch is in the ON posi­tion. Failure to heed this warning
will cause the SRS air bag warn­ing light to illuminate.

The purpose of the SRS is to provide the
vehicle's driver and/or the front passen­ger with additional protection than that
offered by the seat belt system alone in
case of a frontal impact of sufficient
severity.

(Continued)

• Move your seat as far back as
practical from the front air bags,
while still maintaining control of
the vehicle.

• You and your passengers should
never sit or lean unnecessarily
close to the air bags. Improperly
positioned drivers and passen­gers can be severely injured by
inflating air bags.

• Never lean against the door or
centre console – always sit in an
upright position.

(Continued)

WARNING

Always use seat belts and child
restraints – every trip, every time,
everyone! Air bags inflate with
considerable force and in the blink
of an eye. Seat belts help keep
occupants in proper position to
obtain maximum benefit from the
air bag. Even with air bags, improp­erly and unbelted occupants can be
severely injured when the air bag
inflates. Always follow the precau­tions about seat belts, air bags and
occupant safety contained in this
manual.

To reduce the chance of serious or
fatal injuries and receive the maxi­mum safety benefit from your
restraint system:

• Never place a child in any child or
booster seat in the front seat.

• ABC – Always Buckle Children in
the back seat. It is the safest
place for children of any age to
ride.

• Front and side air bags can injure
occupants improperly positioned
in the front seats.

because any such object could
cause harm if the vehicle is in a
crash severe enough to cause
the air bags to deploy.

• Do not tamper with or disconnect
SRS wiring or other components
of the SRS system. Doing so
could result in injury,due to acci­dental deployment of the air bags
or by rendering the SRS inopera­tive.

• If the SRS air bag warning light
remains illuminated while the
vehicle is being driven, have an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer
inspect the air bag system as
soon as possible.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• Air bags can only be used once –
have an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer replace the air bag imme­diately after deployment.

• The SRS is designed to deploy
the airbags only when the impact
is sufficiently severe and when
the impact is in the front or
frontal angle of the vehicle, and
will not deploy in side, rear or
rollover impacts. Additionally, the
airbags will only deploy once.
Thus, seat belts must be worn at
all times.

• Front air bags are not intended to
deploy in side-impact, rear­impact or rollover crashes. In
addition, front air bags will not
deploy in frontal crashes below
the deployment threshold.

Side air bag (if equipped)

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/or the front passenger with addi­tional protection than that offered by the
seat belt alone.

(Continued)

• Sitting improperly or out of posi­tion can result in serious or fatal
injury in a crash. All occupants
should sit upright with the seat
back in an upright position, cen­tred on the seat cushion with
their seat belt on, legs comfort­ably extended and their feet on
the floor until the vehicle is
parked and the ignition key is
removed.

• The SRS air bag system must
deploy very rapidly to provide
protection in a crash. If an occu­pant is out of position because of
not wearing a seat belt, the air
bag may forcefully contact the
occupant causing serious or fatal
injuries.

(Continued)

• A child restraint system must
never be placed in the front seat.
The infant or child could be
severely injured or killed by an air
bag deployment in case of an
accident.

• Children age 12 and under must
always be properly restrained in
the rear seat. Never allow chil­dren to ride in the front passen­ger seat. If a child over 12 must
be seated in the front seat, he or
she must be properly belted and
the seat should be moved as far
back as possible.

• For maximum safety protection in
all types of crashes, all occu­pants including the driver should
always wear their seat belts
whether or not an air bag is also
provided at their seating position
to minimise the risk of severe
injury or death in the event of a
crash. Do not sit or lean unneces­sarily close to the air bag while
the vehicle is in motion.

The side air bags are designed to deploy
only during certain side-impact collisions,
depending on the crash severity, angle,
speed and point of impact. The side air
bags are not designed to deploy in all
side impact situations.

Important safety notes on the side air
bag system

Following is a number of safety points
concerning this system which should
always be observed to ensure risk of
injury is reduced in an accident.

(Continued)

• Do not install any accessories on
the side or near the side air bag.

• Do not place any objects over the
air bag or between the air bag
and yourself.

• Do not place any objects (an
umbrella, bag, etc.) between the
front door and the front seat.
Such objects may become dan­gerous projectiles and cause
injury if the supplemental side air
bag inflates.

• To prevent unexpected deploy­ment of the side air bag that may
result in personal injury, avoid
impact to the side impact sensor
when the ignition key is on.

• If seat or seat cover is damaged,
have the vehicle checked and
repaired by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer. Inform that your
vehicle is equipped with side air
bags.

WARNING

• The side air bag is supplemental
to the driver's and the passen­ger's seat belt systems and is not
a substitute for them. Therefore
your seat belts must be worn at
all times while the vehicle is in
motion. The air bags deploy only
in certain side impact conditions
severe enough to cause signifi­cant injury to the vehicle occu­pants.

• For best protection from the side
air bag system and to avoid being
injured by the deploying side air
bag, both front seat occupants
should sit in an upright position
with the seat belt properly fas­tened. The driver's hands should
be placed on the steering wheel
at the 9:00 and 3:00 positions.
The passenger's arms and hands
should be placed on their laps.

• Do not use any accessory seat
covers.

• Use of seat covers could reduce
or prevent the effectiveness of
the system.

the rear outboard seat occupants in cer­tain side impact collisions.

The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy only during certain side impact
collisions, depending on the crash sever­ity, angle, speed and impact. The curtain
air bags are not designed to deploy in all
side impact situations, collisions from the
front or rear of the vehicle or in most
rollover situations.

Important safety notes for curtain

OHD036125

OUN026090

WARNING

• Before installing child restraints,
always refer to "Child Restraint
System" to ensure correct instal­lation and occupant protection is
maximised.

• Make sure that the occupant
does not have any body parts
(head, arms & legs) protruding
outside the restraining system. If
an inflating airbag was to strike
an infant child on the head, it may
cause serious injury.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• Ensure the opening for the
Curtain Airbag System remains
unobstructed at all times, so that
the airbags can inflate properly if
needed.

• The built in coat hooks should
only be used for light weight
clothing, ensure that pockets are
free of any heavy or sharp
objects. When using coat hooks,
do not hang clothes on coat
hangers.

• The space between the occupant
and the curtain airbag must never
be occupied by children, passen­gers or pets. Occupants should
never lean out or have any parts
of their body protruding from the
window whilst the engine is run­ning.

• Do not move the sun visor out to
cover the side window if there is
an item attached to it such as
garage door remote control,
pens, air fresheners or the like.
These objects may cause injury if
the Curtain Airbag is deployed.

(Continued)

Safety system of your vehicle

WARNING

• In order for side and curtain air
bags to provide its best protec­tion, both front seat occupants
and both outboard rear occu­pants should sit in an upright
position with the seat belts prop­erly fastened. Importantly, chil­dren should sit in a proper child
restraint system in the rear seat.

• When children are seated in the
rear outboard seats, they m ust be
seated in the proper child
restraint system. Make sure to
put the child restraint system as
far away from the door side as
possible, and secure the child
restraint system in a locked posi­tion.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• Do not allow the 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 passen­gers when they are seated on
seats equipped with side and/or
curtain air bags.

• Never try to open or repair any
components of the side curtain
air bag system. This should only
be done by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.

Failure to follow the above men­tioned instructions can result in
injury or death to the vehicle occu­pants in an accident.

(Continued)

• Where sun blinds are fitted to the
rear doors, these must not
obstruct or impair the airbag in
any way.

• Do not install any accessories or
children’s toys in the Curtain
Airbag deployment zones, as this
may impair the operation of the
system or throw parts of them
into the vehicle cabin causing
injury to occupants if the system
is deployed.

• To maintain the integrity of the
Curtain Airbag system, any work,
removal or installation of the
airbag and associated compo­nents (such as roof lining and
side trims) should always be per­formed by a qualified vehicle
repairer.

collision.

OED036096M

WARNING

• Do not hit or allow any objects to
impact the locations where air bag
or sensors are installed.

This may cause unexpected air
bag deployment, which could
result in serious personal injury
or death.

• If the installation location or
angle of the sensors is altered in
any way, the air bags may deploy
when they should not or they may
not deploy when they should,
causing severe injury or death.

Therefore, do not try to perform
maintenance on or around the air
bag sensors. Have the vehicle
checked and repaired by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.

(Continued)

• Problems may arise if the sensor
installation angles are changed
due to the deformation of the
front bumper, body or B pillar
where side collision sensors are
installed. Have the vehicle
checked and repaired by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.

• Your vehicle has been designed
to absorb impact and deploy the
air bag(s) in certain collisions.
Installing aftermarket bumper
guards or replacing a bumper
with non-genuine parts may
adversely affect your vehicles
collision and air bag deployment
performance.

Safety system of your vehicle

463

Side air bags (if equipped)

Side and/or curtain air bags are
designed to inflate when an impact is
detected by side collision sensors
depending on the strength, speed or
angles of impact resulting from a side
impact collision or rollover.

Although the front air bags (driver’s and
front passenger’s air bags) are designed
to inflate only in frontal collisions, they
also may inflate in other types of colli­sions if the front impact sensors detect a
sufficient impact. Side air bags (side
and/or curtain air bags) are designed to
inflate only in side impact collisions, but
they may inflate in other collisions if the
side impact sensors detect a sufficient
impact.

If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved roads
or sidewalks, air bags may deploy. Drive
carefully on unimproved roads or on sur­faces not designed for vehicle traffic to
prevent unintended air bag deployment.

C040802AUN

Air bag non-inflation conditions

• In certain low-speed collisions the air
bags may not deploy. The air bags are
designed not to deploy in such cases
because they may not provide benefits
beyond the protection of the seat belts
in such collisions.

OED036099M

1JBA3516M

OUN026090

347

Safety system of your vehicle

• Frontal air bags are not designed to
inflate in rear collisions, because occu­pants are moved backward by the
force of the impact. In this case, inflat­ed air bags would not be able to pro­vide any additional benefit.

• Front air bags may not inflate in side
impact collisions, because occupants
move to the direction of the collision,
and thus in side impacts, frontal air bag
deployment would not provide addi­tional occupant protection.

However, side or curtain air bags may
inflate depending on the intensity, vehi­cle speed and angles of impact.

• In a slant or angled collision, the force
of impact may direct the occupants in a
direction where the air bags would not
be able to provide any additional bene­fit, and thus the sensors may not
deploy any air bags.

OED036100M

1JBA3521M1JBA3516M

Safety system of your vehicle

483

• Just before impact, drivers often brake
heavily. Such heavy braking lo wers 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 "under-ride" situation
because deceleration forces that are
detected by sensors may be signifi­cantly replaced by such “under-ride”
collisions.

• Air bags may not inflate in rollov er acci­dents because air bag deployment
would not provide protection to the
occupants.

However, side and/or curtain air bags
may inflate when the vehicle is rolled
over by a side impact collision, if the
vehicle is equipped with side air bags
and curtain air bags.

• Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated to one area and
the full force of the impact is not deliv­ered to the sensors.

How does the air bag system
operate

• Air bags are activated (able to inflate if
necessary) only when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON or START
position.

• Air bags inflate instantly in the event of
serious frontal or side collision (if
equipped with side air bag or curtain
air bag) in order 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 by the severity of a collision and
its direction. These two factors deter­mine whether the sensors send out an
electronic deployment/inflation signal.

• Air bag deployment depends on a
number of factors including vehicle
speed, angles of impact and the densi­ty and stiffness of the vehicles or
objects which your vehicle hits in the
collision. Though, 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 accident.
It is much more likely that you will sim­ply see the deflated air bags hanging
out of their storage compartments after
the collision.

• In order to help provide protection in a
severe collision, the air bags must
inflate rapidly. The speed of air bag
inflation is a consequence of the
extremely short time in which a collision
occurs and the need to get the air bag
between the occupant and the vehicle
structures before the occupant impacts
those structures.This speed of inflation
reduces the risk of serious or life­threatening injuries in a severe collision
and is thus a necessary part of air bag
design.

However, air bag inflation can also
cause injuries which normally can
include facial abrasions, bruises and
broken bones, and sometimes more
severe injuries because the inflation
speed also causes the air bags to
expand with a great deal of force.

• There are even circumstances
under which contact with the steer­ing wheel air bag can cause fatal
injuries, especially if the occupant
is positioned excessively close to
the steering wheel.

WARNING

• To avoid severe personal injury
or death caused by deploying air
bags in a collision, the driver
should sit as far back from the
steering wheel air bag as possi­ble (at least 250 mm (10 inches)
away). The front passenger
should always move their seat as
far back as possible and sit back
in their seat.

• Air bag inflates instantly in an
event of collision, passengers
may be injured by the air bag
expansion force if they are not in
proper position.

• Air bag inflation may cause
injuries which normally include
facial or bodily abrasions,
injuries from broken glasses or
burns by the air bag inflation
gasses.

Noise and smoke

When the air bags inflate, they make a
loud noise and they leave smoke and
powder in the air inside of the vehicle.
This is normal and is a result of the igni­tion of the air bag inflator. After the air
bag inflates, you may f eel substantial dis­comfort in breathing due to the contact of
your chest to both the seat belt and the
air bag, as well as from breathing the
smoke and powder. We strongly urge

you to open your doors and/or win­dows as soon as possible after impact
in order to reduce discomfort and pre­vent prolonged exposure to the
smoke and powder.

Though smoke and powder are non­toxic, it may cause irritation to the skin
(eyes, nose and throat etc). If this is the
case, wash and rinse with the cold water
immediately and consult the doctor if the
symptom persists.

C040903AUN

Installing a child restraint on a front
passenger’s seat is forbidden

Never place a rear-facing child restraint
in the front passenger’s seat. If the air
bag deploys, it would impact the rear-f ac­ing child restraint, causing serious or
fatal injury.

In addition, do not place front-facing child
restraint in the front passenger’s seat
either. If the front passenger air bag
inflates, it would cause serious or fatal
injuries to the child.

1JBH3051

WARNING

When the air bags deploy, the air
bag related parts in steering wheel
and/or instrument panel and/or in
both sides of the roof rails above
the front and rear doors are very
hot.To prevent injury, do not touch
the air bag storage areas internal
components immediately after an
air bag has inflated.

Air bag warning light

The purpose of air bag warning light in
your instrument panel is to alert you of a
potential problem with your air bag ­Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).

When the ignition switch is turned ON,
the indicator light should illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds, then go off.

Have the system checked if:

• The light does not turn on briefly when
you turn the ignition ON.

• The light stays on after illuminating for
approximately 6 seconds.

• The light comes on while the vehicle is
in motion.

WARNING

• Extreme Hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint on
a seat protected by an air bag in
front of it!

• Never put child restraint in the
front passenger’s seat.If the front
passenger air bag inflates, it
would cause serious or fatal
injuries.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• When children are seated in the
rear outboard seats in which side
air bags are equipped, be sure to
put the child restraint system as
far away from the door side as
possible, and secure the child
restraint system to be locked in
position.

Inflation of side or curtain air bag
could cause serious injury or
death due to the expansion
impact.

SRS Care

The SRS is virtually maintenance-free
and so there are no parts you can safely
service by yourself. If the SRS air bag
warning light does not illuminate, or con­tinuously remains on, have your vehicle
immediately inspected by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.

Any work on the SRS system, such as
removing, installing, repairing, or any
work on the steering wheel must be per­formed by an authorised HYUNDAI deal­er.Improper handling of the SRS system
may result in serious personal injury.

WARNING

• Modification to SRS components
or wiring, including the addition
of any kind of badges to the pad
covers or modifications to the
body structure, can adversely
affect SRS performance and lead
to possible injury.

• For cleaning the air bag pad cov­ers, use only a soft, dry cloth or
one which has been moistened
with plain water. Solvents or
cleaners could adversely affect
the air bag covers and proper
deployment of the system.

• No objects should be placed over
or near the air bag modules on
the steering wheel, instrument
panel, and the front passenger's
panel above the glove box,
because any such object could
cause harm if the vehicle is in a
crash severe enough to cause
the air bags to inflate.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• If the air bags inflate, they must
be replaced by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.

• Do not tamper with or disconnect
SRS wiring, or other components
of the SRS system. Doing so
could result in injury,due to acci­dental inflation of the air bags or
by rendering the SRS inopera­tive.

• If components of the air bag sys­tem must be discarded, or if the
vehicle must be scrapped,certain
safety precautions must be
observed. An authorised
HYUNDAI dealer knows these
precautions and can give you the
necessary information. Failure to
follow these precautions and pro­cedures could increase the risk
of personal injury.

• If your car was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or water on
flooring, you shouldn't try to start
the engine; have the car towed to
an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.

C041300AUN-EA

Additional safety precautions

• Never let passengers ride in the

cargo area or on top of a folded­down back seat. All occupants should

sit upright, fully back in their seats with
their seat belts on and their feet on the
floor.

• Passengers should not move out of

or change seats while the vehicle is
moving. A passenger who is not wear-

ing a seat belt during a crash or emer­gency stop can be thrown against the
inside of the vehicle, against other
occupants, or out of the vehicle.

• Each seat belt is designed to
restrain one occupant. If more than
one person uses the same seat belt,
they could be seriously injured or killed
in a collision.

• 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.

• Passengers should not place hard

or sharp objects between them­selves and the air bags. Carrying

hard or sharp objects on your lap or in
your mouth can result in injuries if an
air bag inflates.

• Keep occupants away from the air
bag covers. All occupants should sit
upright, fully back in their seats with
their seat belts on and their feet on the
floor. If occupants are too close to the
air bag covers, they could be injured if
the air bags inflate.

• Do not attach or place objects on or
near the air bag covers. Any object
attached to or placed on the front or
side air bag covers could interfere with
the proper operation of the air bags.

• 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.

• Never hold an infant or child on your
lap. The infant or child could be seri­ously injured or killed in the event of a
crash. All infants and children should
be properly restrained in appropriate
child safety seats or seat belts in the
rear seat.

C041400AUN

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.

WARNING

• Sitting improperly or out of posi­tion can cause occupants to be
shifted too close to a deploying
air bag, strike the interior struc­ture or be thrown from the vehic le
resulting in serious injury or
death.

• Always sit upright with the seat­back in an upright position, cen­tred on the seat cushion with
your seat belt on, legs comfort­ably extended and your feet on
the floor.

• Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refuelling
since you can generate static
electricity by touching, rubbing
or sliding against any item or fab­ric (polyester, satin, nylon, etc.)
capable of producing static elec­tricity. Static electricity discharge
can ignite fuel vapours resulting
in rapid burning. If you must re­enter the vehicle, you should
once again eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis­charge by touching a metal part
of the vehicle, away from the fuel
filler neck, nozzle or other petrol
source.

• When using a portable fuel con­tainer be sure to place the con­tainer on the ground prior to refu­elling. Static electricity discharge
from the container can ignite fuel
vapours causing a fire. Once

WARNING - Refuelling

dangers

Automotive fuels are flammable
materials. When refuelling, please
note the following guidelines care­fully. Failure to follow these guide­lines may result in severe personal
injury,severe burns or death by fire
or explosion.

• Read and follow all warnings
posted at the petrol station facili­ty.

• Before refuelling, note the loca­tion of the Emergency Fuel Shut­Off, if available, at the petrol sta­tion facility.

• Before touching the fuel nozzle,
you should eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis­charge by touching another metal
part of the vehicle, a safe dis­tance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other petrol
source.

(Continued)

WARNING - Refuelling

• If pressurized fuel sprays out, it
can cover your clothes or skin
and thus subject you to the risk
of fire and burns. Always remove
the fuel cap carefully and slowly.
If the cap is venting fuel or if you
hear a hissing sound, wait until
the condition stops before com­pletely removing the cap.

• Do not "top off" after the nozzle
automatically shuts off when
refuelling.

• Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an acci­dent.

423

Features of your vehicle

(Continued)

Use only portable plastic fuel
containers designed to carry and
store petrol.

• Do not use mobile phones while
refuelling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from
mobile phones can potentially
ignite fuel vapours causing a fire.

• When refuelling, always shut the
engine off. Sparks produced by
electrical components related to
the engine can ignite fuel
vapours causing a fire. Once
refuelling is complete, check to
make sure the filler cap and filler
door are securely closed, before
starting the engine.

• DO NOT use matches or a lighter
and DO NOT SMOKE or leave a lit
cigarette in your vehicle while at
a petrol station especially during
refuelling. Automotive fuel is
highly flammable and can, when
ignited, result in fire.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• If a fire breaks out during refu­elling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately contact
the manager of the petrol station
and then contact the local fire
department. Follow any safety
instructions they provide.

CAUTION

• Make sure to refuel your vehicle
according to the "Fuel require­ments" suggested in section 1.

• If the fuel filler cap requires
replacement, use only a genuine
HYUNDAI cap or the equivalent
specified for your vehicle. An
incorrect fuel filler cap can result
in a serious malfunction of the
fuel system or emission control
system.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• Do not spill fuel on the exterior
surfaces of the vehicle. Any type
of fuel spilled on painted surfaces
may damage the paint.

Electric power steering

Power steering uses a motor to assist
you in steering the vehicle. If the engine
is off or if the power steering system
becomes inoperative, the vehicle may
still be steered, but it will require
increased steering effort.

The motor driven power steering is con­trolled by power steering control unit
which sense the steering wheel torque,
steering wheel position and vehicle
speed to command the motor.

The steering wheel becomes heavier as
the vehicle’s speed increases and
becomes lighter as the vehicle’s speed
decreases for the better control of the
steering wheel.

Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the power steer­ing checked by an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer.

✽✽

NOTICE

The following symptoms may occur dur­ing normal vehicle operation:

• The EPS warning light does not illu­minate.

• The steering wheel becomes heavier
after turning the ignition switch 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 ignition switch is
turned to the ON or LOCK position.

• 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 warn­ing light will illuminate on the instru­ment cluster. The steering wheel may
become difficult to control or operate
abnormally. Take your vehicle to an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer and
have the vehicle checked as soon as
possible.

• When you operate the steering wheel
in low temperature, abnormal noise
could occur. If temperature rises, the
noise will disappear. This is a normal
condition.
