NOTICE
• Both the driver's and front pas-
senger's pre-tensioner seat belts
may be activated in certain frontal
collisions.
• 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 condi-
tions and are not hazardous.
• The fine dust may cause skin irri- tation 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
pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRS air
bag warning light on the instru-
ment panel will illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds after the
ignition switch has been turned to
the ON position, and then it should
turn off.
CAUTION
If the pre-tensioner seat belt is
not working properly, this warn-ing light will illuminate even ifthere is no malfunction of theSRS air bag. If the SRS air bagwarning light does not illumi-nate when the ignition switch isturned ON, or if it remains illu-minated after illuminating forapproximately 6 seconds, or if itilluminates while the vehicle isbeing driven, have an author-ized HYUNDAI dealer inspectthe pre-tensioner seat belt andSRS air bag system as soon aspossible.
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 colli-
sion.
The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly mechanisms become
hot during activation. Do not
touch the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies for several min-
utes after they have been acti-
vated.
Do not attempt to inspect or replace the pre-tensioner seat
belts yourself. This must be
done by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not strike the pre-tension- er seat belt assemblies.
Do not attempt to service or repair the pre-tensioner seat
belt system in any manner.

How does the air bag system
operate
Air bags are activated (able toinflate if necessary) only when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON
or START position.
Air bags inflate in the event of a serious frontal or side collision 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 based upon the severity of a
collision and its direction. These
two factors determine whether the
sensors produce 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 vehi-
cles or objects which your vehicle
hits in the collision. The determin-
ing 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 com-
partments 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 inflate the air bag between
the occupant and the vehicle struc-
tures before the occupant impacts
those structures. This speed of
inflation reduces the risk of serious
or life-threatening injuries in a
severe collision and is thus a nec-
essary part of air bag design.
However, air bag inflation can also
cause injuries which can include
facial abrasions, bruises and bro-
ken bones 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 air
bag can cause fatal injuries,
especially if the occupant is
positioned excessively close to
the air bag.
WARNING
To avoid severe personalinjury or death caused by
deploying air bags in a colli-
sion, the driver should sit as
far back from the steering
wheel air bag as possible (at
least 10 inches (250 mm)
away). The front passengers
should always move their
seats as far back as possible
and sit back in their seat.
Air bags inflate instantly in the event of collision, and passen-
gers may be injured by the air
bag expansion force if they are
not in proper position.
Air bag inflation may cause injuries including facial or
bodily abrasions, injuries
from broken glasses or burns.

SRS components and func-
tions
The SRS consists of the following
components:
1. Driver's front air bag module
2. Passenger's front air bag module
3. Side impact air bag modules
4. Curtain air bag modules
5. Retractor pre-tensioner assemblies
6. Air bag warning light
7. SRS control module (SRSCM)
8. Front impact sensors
9. Side impact sensors
10. PASSENGER AIR BAG "OFF"indicator (Front passenger’s seat
only) 11. Occupant classification system
(Front passenger’s seat only)
The SRSCM continually monitors all
SRS components while the ignition
switch is ON to determine if a crash
impact is severe enough to require
air bag deployment or pre-tensioner
seat belt deployment.

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 a child restraint in the front passenger’s seat. If
the front passenger air bag
inflates, it can cause serious
or fatal injuries.

When an adult is seated in the front
passenger seat, if the PASSENGER
AIR BAG "OFF" indicator is on, turn
the ignition switch to the LOCK posi-
tion and ask the passenger to sit
properly (sitting upright with the seat
back in an upright position, centered
on the seat cushion with their seat
belt on, legs comfortably extended
and their feet on the floor). Restart
the engine and have the person
remain in that position for about 30
seconds. This will allow the system to
detect the person and to enable the
passenger air bag. If the PASSENGER AIR BAG "OFF"
indicator is still on, ask the passen-
ger to move to the rear seat.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
The PASSENGER AIR BAG "OFF"
indicator illuminates for about 4 sec-
onds after the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position or after
the engine is started. If the front
passenger seat is occupied, the occu-
pant classification sensor will then
classify the front passenger after
several more seconds.

WARNING
Do not allow an adult passenger
to ride in the front seat when the
PASSENGER AIR BAG "OFF"
indicator is illuminated because
the air bag will not deploy in the
event of a crash. If the PASSEN-
GER AIR BAG "OFF" indicator
remains illuminated after the
adult passenger repositions
themselves properly and the car
is restarted, it is recommended
that passenger move to the rear
seat because the passenger's
front air bag will not deploy.
Front seat passengers must
stay properly seated to avoid
serious injury from a deploying
air bag.

Driver's and passenger's front air
bag
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag)
System and lap/shoulder belts at both
the driver and passenger seating posi-
tions. 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 center of
the steering wheel and the passenger's
side front panel above the glove box. 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 sys-
tem alone in case of a frontal impact
of sufficient severity. The SRS uses
sensors to gather information about
the impact severity.
WARNING
If the occupant classification
system is not working properly,
the SRS air bag warning light
on the instrument panel will illu-
minate because the passenger's
front air bag is connected with
the occupant classification sys-
tem. If there is a malfunction of
the occupant classification sys-
tem, the PASSENGER AIR BAG
"OFF" indicator will not illumi-
nate and the passenger's front
air bag will inflate in frontal
impact crashes even if there is
no occupant in the front passen-
ger's seat. If the SRS air bag
warning light does not illuminate
when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position,
remains illuminated after approx-
imately 6 seconds when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the ON
position, or if it illuminates while
the vehicle is being driven, have
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
inspect the occupant classifica-
tion system and the SRS air bag
system as soon as
possible.

Safety features of your vehicle
The side impact air bags are
designed to deploy only during cer-
tain side-impact collisions, depend-
ing on the crash severity, angle,
speed and point of impact. The side
impact air bags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact situations.(Continued)
Use of seat covers couldreduce or prevent the effective-
ness of the system.
Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side
impact 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 door and the seat. Such
objects may become danger-
ous projectiles and cause
injury if the supplemental side
impact air bag inflates.
To prevent unexpected deploy- ment of the side impact air bag
that may result in personal
injury, avoid impact to the side
impact sensor when the igni-
tion switch is on.
If the seat or seat cover is dam- aged, have the vehicle checked
and repaired by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer because your
vehicle is equipped with side
impact air bags and an occu-
pant classification system.WARNING
The side impact air bag is sup-
plemental to the driver’s and
the front passenger’s seat belt
systems and is not a substi-
tute 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 impact air bag system
and to avoid being injured by
the deploying side impact air
bag, all seat occupants should
sit in an upright position with
the seat belt properly fas-
tened. The driver's hands
should be placed on the steer-
ing wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00
positions. The passenger'
arms and hands should be
placed on their laps.
Do not use any accessory seat covers.

Why didn’t my air bag go off in a
collision? (Airbags are not
designed to inflate in every colli-
sion.)
There are certain types of acci-
dents in which the air bag would
not be expected to provide addi-
tional protection to the vehicles
occupants.
These include rear impacts, sec-
ond or third collisions in multiple
impact accidents, as well as low
speed impacts.

Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to inflate
in moderate to severe frontal colli-
sions within a limited range of
angles. The impact forces measured
by the front impact sensors and SRS
control module determine whether or
not to inflate the front airbags.
WARNING
Do not hit or allow any objects
to impact the locations where
air bags or sensors are
installed.
This may cause unexpected
air bag deployment, which
could result in serious per-
sonal 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 per-
form maintenance on or
around the air bag sensors.
Have the vehicle checked and
repaired by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Problems may arise if the sen-sor installation angles are
changed due to the deforma-
tion of the front bumper, body
or B and C pillars where side
collision sensors are
installed. Have the vehicle
checked and repaired by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Your vehicle has been designed to absorb impact
and deploy the air bag(s) in
certain collisions. Installing
bumper guards or replacing a
bumper with non-genuine
parts may adversely affect
your vehicle’s collision and air
bag deployment performance.

Safety features of your vehicle
Side impact and curtain air bagsSide impact and curtain air bags are
generally designed to inflate in mod-
erate to severe side collisions. The
impact forces measured by the side
impact sensors and SRS control
module determine whether or not to
inflate the side impact airbags.
Although the front air bags (driver’s
and front passenger’s air bags) are
designed to inflate only in frontal col-
lisions, they also may inflate in other
types of collisions if the front impact
sensors detect a sufficient impact.
Side impact and 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, the air bags may deploy. Drive
carefully on unimproved roads or on
surfaces not designed for vehicle
traffic to prevent unintended air bag
deployment.
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 occupants protection
beyond the protection of the seat
belts in such collisions.
