Passenger's airbag
The seat belt pre-tensioner system consists mainly of the following components. Their locations are shown in the illustration.
1. SRS airbag warning light
2. Seat belt pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module WARNING: To obtain maximum benefit from a pre-tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn correctly.
2. The seat belt must be adjusted to the correct position.
The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in a simi-lar same way as an Emergency Locking Re-tractor (ELR) type of seat belt. When the ve-hicle stops suddenly, or if the occupant tries tolean forward too quickly, the seat belt retractorwill lock into position. However, in certain fron-tal collisions, the pre-tensioner will activate andpull the seat belt into tighter contact against theoccupant's body.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
1- 24 CAUTION:
o Because the sensor that activates the
SRS airbag is connected with the pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRS airbag warn-ing light on the instrument panel willblink for approximately 6 seconds afterthe ignition key has been turned to the"ON" position, and then it should turnoff.
o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not work- ing properly, this warning light will illu-minate even if there is no malfunction ofthe SRS airbag system . If the SRS airbagwarning light does not illuminate whenthe ignition key is turned to "ON", or if itremains illuminated after blinking forapproximately 6 seconds, or if it illumi-nates while the vehicle is being driven,please have an authorized Hyundai deal-er inspect the pre-tensioner seat belt orSRS airbag system as soon as possible. WARNING:
o 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 alwaysbe replaced after they have been wornduring a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly mechanisms become hot during activa-tion. Do not touch the pre-tensioner seatbelt assemblies for several minutes afterthey have been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or replace the pre-tensioner seat belts yourself. Thismust be done by an authorized Hyundaidealer.
o Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies.
o Do not attempt to service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt system in anymanner.
o Improper handling of the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies, and failure to heedthe warnings to not strike, modify, in-spect, replace, service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies may leadto improper operation or inadvertent ac-tivation and serious injury.
o Always wear the seat belts when driving or riding in a motor vehicle.
NOTE:
o Both the driver's and front passenger'spre-tensioner seat belts will be activatedin certain frontal collisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts can be activatedwith the airbags. The pre-tensioners willbe activated under these conditions evenif the seat belts are not being worn at thetime of the collision.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts are activated, a loud noise may be heard andfine dust, which may appear to be smoke,may be visible in the passenger compart-ment. These are normal operating condi-tions and are not hazardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine dust may cause skin irritation and should notbe breathed for prolonged periods. Washyour hands and face thoroughly after anaccident in which the pre-tensioner seatbelts were activated.

Rear impact
Side Impact Rollover
o Front airbags are not intended to de- ploy in side-impact, rear-impact or rollover crashes. In addition, airbagswill not deploy in frontal crashes belowthe deployment threshold speed.
o The driver should sit back as far as pos- sible while still maintaining control ofthe vehicle. If you are sitting too close tothe airbag, it can cause death or seriousinjury when it inflates.
o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules on the steering wheel,instrument panel, and the frontpassenger's panel above the glove box,because any such object could causeharm if the vehicle is in a crash severeenough to cause the airbags to deploy.
o If the airbags deploy, they must be re- placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
NOTE: Be sure to read information about the SRSon the labels provided on the backside ofthe sun visor and in the glove box. WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is designedto work with, and be supplemental to, thedriver's and the passenger's three pointseat belt systems and is not a substitutefor them. Therefore your seat belts mustbe worn at all times while the vehicle is inmotion. In addition, the airbags deployonly in certain frontal impact conditionssevere enough to cause significant in-jury to the vehicle occupants.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the airbags only when an impact is sufficiently se-vere and when the impact angle is lessthan 30° from the forward longitudinalaxis of the vehicle and will not deploy inside, rear or rollover impacts. Addition-ally, the airbags will only deploy once.Thus, seat belts must be worn at alltimes.
Your Hyundai is equipped with a SupplementalRestraint (Airbag) System. The indications ofthe system's presence are the letters "SRS AIRBAG" embossed on the airbag pad cover in thesteering wheel and the passenger's side frontpanel pad above the glove box. The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installed under the pad covers in the center of thesteering wheel and the passenger's side frontpanel above the glove box. The purpose of the
SRS is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or thefront passenger with additional protection thanthat offered by the seat belt system alone, incase of a frontal impact of sufficient severity.

SSA1110D
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on the instrument panel will blink for about 6 sec-onds after the ignition key is turned to the "ON"position or after the engine is started, afterwhich the SRI should go out.
SSA1110C
The SRS consists of the following components: - Driver's Airbag Module
- Passenger's Airbag Module
- SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
The SRSCM continually monitors all elementswhile the ignition is "ON" to determine if a frontalor near-frontal impact is severe enough torequire airbag deployment. B240B01FC-GAT SRS Components and Functions
SSA1110B
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS
wiring, or other components of the SRS system. Doing so could result in injury,due to accidental firing of the airbags orby rendering the SRS inoperative.
o Do not install a child restraint system in the front passenger seat position. Achild restraint system must never beplaced in the front seat. The infant orchild could be severely injured or killedby an airbag deployment in case of anaccident.
o Do not allow children to ride in the front passenger seat. If older children (teenag-ers and older) must ride in the front seat,make sure they are always properly beltedand that the seat is moved back as far aspossible.
o For maximum safety protection in all types of crashes, all occupants includ-ing the driver should always wear theirseat belts whether or not an airbag isalso provided at their seating position tominimize the risk of severe injury ordeath in the event of a crash. Do not sit orlean unnecessarily close to the airbagwhile the vehicle is in motion.
o The SRS airbag system must deploy very rapidly to provide protection in a crash.If an occupant is out of position becauseof not wearing a seat belt, the airbag mayforcefully contact the occupant causingserious or fatal injuries.

parts. If the liquid from the air freshener does leak onto these areas, wash them withwater immediately. WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there may be
a loud noise and fine dust will be re-leased throughout the vehicle. These con-ditions are normal and are not hazard-ous. However, the fine dust generatedduring airbag deployment may causeskin irritation. Wash your hands and facethoroughly with lukewarm water and amild soap after an accident in which theairbags were deployed.
o The SRS can function only when the ignition key is in the "ON" position. If theSRS SRI does not come on, or continu-ously remains on, after flashing for about6 seconds when the ignition key is turnedto the "ON" position, or after the engineis started, comes on while driving, theSRS is not working properly. If this oc-curs, have your vehicle immediately in-spected by your Hyundai dealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or disconnect a battery terminal, turn the ignition key tothe "LOCK" position or remove the igni-tion key. Never remove or replace the airbag related fuse(s) when the ignition keyis in the "ON" position. Failure to heedthis warning will cause the SRS SRI toilluminate.
Passenger's Airbag
YR10353A
After complete inflation, the airbag immediately starts deflating, enabling the driver to maintainforward visibility. CAUTION: When installing a container of liquid airfreshener inside a vehicle, do not place itnear the instrument cluster nor on the in-strument panel pad surface. If there is anyleakage from the air freshener onto theseareas (instrument cluster, instrument panelpad or air ventilator), it may damage these
CAUTION:Do not install or place any accessories (drinkholder, cassette holder, sticker, etc) on thefront passenger's panel above the glovebox in a vehicle with passenger's air bag.Such objects may become dangerous pro-jectiles and cause injury if the passenger'sair bag inflates.
Passenger's Airbag
The airbag modules are located both in the center of the steering wheel and in the frontpassenger's panel above the glove box. Whenthe SRSCM detects a considerable impact tothe front of the vehicle, it will automaticallydeploy the airbags.
Upon deployment, tear seams molded directlyinto the pad covers will separate under pres-sure from the expansion of the airbags. Furtheropening of the covers then allows full inflationof the airbags. A fully inflated airbag in combination with a properly worn seat belt slows the driver's or thepassenger's forward motion, thus reducing therisk of head or chest injury.

o Do not place any objects over the airbag or between the airbag and yourself.
o Do not place any objects (an umbrella, bag, etc.) between the front door and the front seat. Such objects may becomedangerous projectiles and cause injury ifthe supplemental side impact air baginflates.
o To prevent unexpected deployment of the side impact air bag that may result inpersonal injury, avoid impact to the sideairbag sensor when the ignition key ison.
B240C03Y-GAT SRS CareThe SRS is virtually maintenance-free and there are no parts you can safely service byyourself. The entire SRS system must be in-spected by an authorized Hyundai dealer 10years after the date that the vehicle was manu-factured. Any work on the SRS system, such as remov- ing, installing, repairing, or any work on thesteering wheel must be performed by a quali-fied Hyundai technician. Improper handling ofthe SRS system may result in serious personalinjury.

o For best protection from the side impact airbag system and to avoid being injuredby the deploying side impact airbag, bothfront seat occupants should sit in anupright position with the seat belt prop-erly fastened. The driver's hands shouldbe placed on the steering wheel at the9:00 and 3:00 o'clock positions. Thepassenger's arms and hands should beplaced in their laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat covers.
o Use of seat covers could reduce or pre- vent the effectiveness of the system.
o Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side impact airbag.
o Do not use excessive force on the side of the seat.
B990B03Y-GAT Side Impact Airbag (If Installed)B990B02Y
Your Hyundai is equipped with a side airbag in each front seat. The purpose of the airbag is toprovide the vehicle's driver and/or the frontpassenger with additional protection than thatoffered by the seatbelt alone. The side impactairbags are designed to deploy only duringcertain side impact collisions, depending on thecrash severity, angle, speed and point of im-pact. The air bags are not designed to deploy inall side impact situations.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 1- 29
o For cleaning the airbag pad covers, use
only a soft, dry cloth or one which has been moistened with plain water. Sol-vents or cleaners could adversely affectthe airbag covers and proper deploy-ment of the system.
o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules on the steering wheel,instrument panel, and the frontpassenger's panel above the glove box,because any such object could causeharm if the vehicle is in a crash severeenough to cause the airbags to inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be re- placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS wiring, or other components of the SRSsystem. Doing so could result in injury,due to accidental firing of the airbags orby rendering the SRS inoperative.
o If components of the airbag system must be discarded, or if the vehicle must bescrapped, certain safety precautionsmust be observed. Your Hyundai dealerknows these precautions and can giveyou the necessary information. Failureto follow these precautions and proce-dures could increase the risk of personalinjury. o If you sell your vehicle, make certain that
this manual is transferred to the newowner.
o If your car was flooded and has soaked carpeting or water on flooring, youshouldn't try to start engine; have the cartowed to authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not replace the bumper or the bumper guard with the one other than the Hyundaigenuine parts. Otherwise, it can adverselyaffect SRS performance and lead to un-expected injury.
