To release the seat belt:
When you want to release the seat
belt, press the button (1) in the lock
ing buckle.
Pretensioner seat belt
(if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with driver's
and front passenger's pretensioner
seat belts. The purpose of the pre
tensioner is to make sure that the
seat belts fit tightly against the occu
pant's body in certain frontal colli
sions. The pretensioner seat belts
may be activated in crashes where
the frontal collision is severe enough. When the vehicle stops suddenly, or
if the occupant tries to lean forward
too quickly, the seat belt retractor will
lock into position. In certain frontal
collisions, the pretensioner will acti
vate and pull the seat belt into tighter
contact against the occupant's body.
OGS035044
The center lap belt latching mech
anism is different from those for
the rear seat shoulder belts. When
fastening the rear seat shoulder
belts or the center lap belt, make
sure they are inserted into the cor
rect buckles to obtain maximum
protection from the seat belt sys
tem and assure proper operation.
WARNING
OLMB03309
•Always wear your seat belt and
sit properly in your seat.
•Do not use the seat belt if it is
loose or twisted. A loose or twist
ed seat belt will not protect you
properly in an accident.
•Do not place anything near the
buckle. This may adversely affect
the buckle and cause it to func
tion improperly.
•Always replace your pretension
ers after activation or an acci
dent.
•NEVER inspect, service, repair or
replace the pretensioners your
self. This must be done by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

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.

Curtain air bag (if equipped)
The actual air bags in the vehicle may differ
from the illustration.
Curtain air bags are located along
both sides of the roof rails above the
front and rear doors.
(Continued)
•If the seat or seat cover is dam
aged, we recommend that the
system be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Inform the dealer that your vehi
cle is equipped with side impact
air bags.

(Continued)
•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.
(Continued)

Safety system of your vehicle
They are designed to help protect
the heads of the front seat occupants
and the rear outboard seat occu
pants in certain side impact colli
sions.
The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy only during cer tain 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.
•In order for side impact and cur
tain air bags to provide the best
protection, both front seat occu
pants 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 must
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)
WARNING (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 passen
gers 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. We recommend
that the system be serviced by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Failure to follow the above men
tioned instructions can result in
injury or death to the vehicle occu
pants in an accident.

2-58
Safety system of your vehicle
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.

Safety system of your vehicle
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, we recommend that the system
be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
We recommend that the any work on
the SRS system, such as removing,
installing, repairing, or any work on
the steering wheel, the front passen
ger's panel, front seats and roof rails
be performed by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. Improper handling
of the SRS system may result in seri
ous personal injury.
(Continued)
•If the air bags inflate, we recom
mend that the system be replaced
by an authorized HYUNDAI deal
er.
•Do not tamper with or discon
nect SRS wiring, or other com
ponents 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 sys
tem must be discarded, or if the
vehicle must be scrapped, certainsafety precautions must be
observed. An authorized
HYUNDAI dealer knows these
precautions and can give you
the necessary information.Failure to follow these precau
tions and procedures could
increase the risk of personal
injury.
•If your car was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or water on
the flooring, you shouldn't try tostart the engine; we recommend
that you contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
•Modification to SRS compo
nents or wiring, including the
addition of any kind of badges to
the pad covers or modifications
to the body structure, can
adversely affect SRS perform
ance and lead to possible injury.
•For cleaning the air bag pad
covers, use only a soft, dry cloth
or one which has been mois
tened with plain water. Solvents
or cleaners could adversely
affect the air bag covers and
proper deployment of the sys
tem.
•No objects should be placed
over or near the air bag modules
on the steering wheel, instru
ment panel, and the front pas
senger'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.

Convenient features of your vehicle
Immobilizer system
(if equipped)
The immobilizer system protects your
vehicle from theft. If an improperly
coded key (or other device) is used,
the engine’s fuel system is disabled.
When the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position, the immobilizer sys
tem indicator should come on briefly,
then go off. If the indicator starts to
blink, the system does not recognize
the coding of the key.
Place the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF position, then place the
ignition switch to the ON positionagain.
The system may not recognize your
key’s coding if another immobilizer
key or other metal object (i.e., key
chain) is near the key. The engine
may not start because the metal may
interrupt the transponder signal from
transmitting normally.
If the system repeatedly does not
recognize the coding of the key, it is
recommended that you contact your
HYUNDAI dealer. Do not attempt to alter this system or
add other devices to it. Electrical
problems could result that may make
your vehicle inoperable.
The transponder in your key is an
important part of the immobilizer sys
tem. It is designed to give years of
troublefree service, however you
should avoid exposure to moisture,
static electricity and rough handling.
Immobilizer system malfunction
could occur.
NOTICE
In order to prevent theft of your
vehicle, do not leave spare keys
anywhere in your vehicle. Your
immobilizer password is a cus
tomer unique password and
should be kept confidential.
