Introduction
NOTICE indicates a situation which,
if not avoided, could result in vehicle
damage.
Gasoline engine
Unleaded
Your new vehicle is designed to use
only unleaded fuel having an Octane
Rating of RON (Research Octane
Number) 91 / AKI (AntiKnock Index)
87 or higher.
Your new vehicle is designed to
obtain maximum performance with
UNLEADED FUEL, as well as mini
mize exhaust emissions and spark
plug fouling.
Leaded (if equipped)
For some countries, your vehicle is
designed to use leaded gasoline.
When you are going to use leaded
gasoline, we recommend that you
ask an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
whether leaded gasoline in your
vehicle is available or not.
Octane Rating of leaded gasoline is
same with unleaded one.
NOTICE
NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The
use of leaded fuel is detrimental to
the catalytic converter and will
damage the engine control sys
tem’s oxygen sensor and affect
emission control.
Never add any fuel system clean
ing agents to the fuel tank other
than what has been specified (We
recommend that you consult an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
details.)
CAUTION

situation which, if not avoided,
could result in minor or moderate
injury.
CAUTION
FUEL REQUiREMENTS
•Do not "top off" after the nozzle
automatically shuts off when
refueling.
•Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an acci
dent.
WARNING

Safety system of your vehicle
The seat belt pretensioner system
consists mainly of the following com
ponents. Their locations are shown in
the illustration:
(1) SRS air bag warning light
(2) Retractor pretensioner assembly
(3) SRS control module
The sensor that activates the SRS air
bag is connected with the pre–ten
sioner seat belts. The SRS air bag
warning light on the instrument panel
will illuminate for approximately 6 sec
onds after the ignition switch is placed
to the ON position, and then it should
turn off.
If the pretensioner is not working
properly, the warning light will illumi
nate even if the SRS air bag is not
malfunctioning. If the warning light
does not illuminate, stays illuminated
or illuminates when the vehicle is
being driven, we recommend the pre
tensioner seat belts and/or SRS air
bags be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.
NOTICE(Continued)
•Do not hit the seat belt assem
blies.
Do not touch the pretensioner
seat belt assemblies for several
minutes after they have been acti
vated. When the pretensioner
seat belt mechanism deploys dur
ing a collision, the pretensioner
can become hot and can burn
you.
WARNING
Body work on the front area of the
vehicle may damage the preten
sioner seat belt system.
Therefore, we recommend that
the system be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

How does the air bag system
operate
•Air bags are activated (able to
inflate if necessary) only when the
ignition switch is placed to the ON
or START position.
• Air bags inflate instantly in the event of serious frontal or side col
lision 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 extremely short time in which a
collision occurs and the need to
get the air bag between the occu
pant and the vehicle structures
before the occupant impacts those
structures. This speed of inflation
reduces the risk of serious or life
threatening injuries in a severe col
lision and is thus a necessary 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.•Even in vehicles with air bags,
you and your passengers must
always wear the safety belts pro
vided in order to minimize the riskand severity of injury in the event
of a collision or rollover.
•SRS and pretensioners contain
explosive chemicals.
If scraping a vehicle without
removing SRS and pretensioners
from a vehicle, it may cause fire.
Before scraping a vehicle, we
recommend that you contact anauthorized HYUNDAI dealer.
•Keep the SRS parts and wirings
away from water or any liquid. If
the SRS components are inoper
ative due to exposure to water or
liquids, it may cause fire or severeinjury.

Air bag warning and indicator
(if equipped)
Air bag warning light
The purpose of the 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 warning light should illumi
nate 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 vehi cle is in motion.
• The light blinks when the ignition switch is in ON position.
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) Pretensioner seatbelt system*
(4) Driver's air bag warning light*
(5) SRS control module (SRSCM)*
(6) Front impact sensors*
(7) Side impact air bag modules*
(8) Curtain air bag modules *
(9) Side impact sensors *
* : if equipped

Safety system of your vehicle
In case of the Lefthand drive vehi
cle, the sensors and modules are in
the symmetrically opposite order.
The SRSCM continuously monitors
all SRS components while the igni
tion switch is ON to determine if a
crash 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.The air bag modules are located
both in the center 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.
If any of the following conditions
occurs, this indicates a malfunc
tion of the SRS. We recommend
that the system be inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
•The light does not turn on briefly
when you turn the ignition ON.
•The light stays on after illuminat
ing for approximately 6 seconds.
•The light comes on while the
vehicle is in motion.
•The light blinks when the ignition
switch is in ON position.

•Do not use any accessory seat
covers.
•Use of seat covers could reduce
or prevent the effectiveness 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
front door and the front seat. Such
objects may become dangerous
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 whenthe ignition switch
is on.

Why didn’t my air bag go off in a collision? (Inflation and noninflationconditions of the air bag)
There are many types of accidents in
which the air bag would not be
expected to provide additional pro
tection.
These include rear impacts, second
or third collisions in multiple impact
accidents, as well as low speed
impacts.

Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags are designed to inflate
in a frontal collision depending on
the severity, speed or angles of
impact of the front collision.
•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 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. We recommend that
the system be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
•Problems may arise if the sen
sor installation angles are
changed due to the deformation
of the front bumper, body or B
pillar where side collision sen
sors are installed. We recom
mend that the system be serv
iced by an authorized 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
nongenuine parts may adversely
affect your vehicles collision and
air bag deployment performance.

Side and curtain air bags
Side and cur tain air bags are
designed to inflate when an impact is
detected by side collision sensors
depending on the severity, speed or
angles of impact resulting from a
side impact collision. Although the driver’s and front pas
senger’s air bags are designed to
inflate in frontal collisions, they also
may inflate in other types of colli
sions if the front impact sensors
detect a sufficient impact. Side and
curtain air bags are designed to
inflate in side impact collisions, but
they may inflate in other collisions if
the side impact sensors detect a suf
ficient impact.
Also, the side and curtain air bags are
designed to inflate when a rollover is
detected by a rollover sensor. (if
equipped with rollover sensor)
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 noninflation conditions
• In certain lowspeed 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 pro
tection of the seat belts in such col
lisions.
OGS035028

2-60
Safety system of your vehicle
•Front 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 ben
efit. • Front air bags may not inflate in
side impact collisions, becauseoccupants move to the direction of
the collision, and thus in side impacts, frontal air bag deployment
would not provide additional occu
pant protection.
However, side impact or curtain air
bags may inflate depending on the
intensity, vehicle speed and angles
of impact. • In an 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.
